So it has been awhile since I tinker with Gcam, and now that I have finished the modding of it and no longer have my Mix 3, I will upload the final copy of Gcam. As usual thanks to everyone from defcomg, cstark27, san1tyy, xtreme, bsg, zoran.

Changelog:
-added corrected black level for most shots. Bl corrected for 1/30 shutter so you will have slight tint on slow shutter at extreme low light conditions.
-modified xlib2 to remove tint, and noise
-new menu and icons
Bugs:
-sometimes hdr+ enhanced at 40 frames or 36 frames will not save the first shot, but shot afterwards will save. Tried to find a fix but cannot so use lower frames for most stability, ie.. 25 or so.
Feb 7th, 2019
Update: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1IKGyubiBrdqWVp_gQfmTLaA8HErtoyk7
-added lens blur mode courtesy of san1tyy to take picture of objects and animals
Recommended settings:
-Rear camera set to Pixel 3 XL
-Processing set to 2018 zslr hdr+
-set frames to 40 for min and max for best low light shot (will take some time to process), or set to 20 for both for quick shots
-hdr+ enhance and night sight set min iso compensation to 1/3 or 1/4 s for best shot, but hands have to be still as possible
-exposure compensation to +0.6
-chose Xlib for lib choice
So several have stated that shutter isn't working on global rom, and some other Mix flagship such as Mix 2/2S doesn't work so with help from san1tyy, metadata was cleaned up and should be working now

After bunch of trials and error, lib modding here and there, finally got a working stable version with some new changes with help from Zoran, Savitar, Xtreme, and San1tyy . Lib modding for awb using different calibrations from various devices would not play nice due to either unsaturated or nuclear saturation, especially from S9 series, so I just left it stock for now. Here's the new apk: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1scOaLD8_eeZEdlaR6q1lCXzUSLtb6miB
Changes:
-added compensation exposure
-new lib (Xlib) with sharpened decreased
-frames changed to 40 instead of 45 due to exif cache size error and won't save image
-qc color awb works finally without the yellow tint, thanks big time to Savitar
-UI changes
enjoy guys and donation are welcome so I can get more devices to work on. Paypal: [email protected]
The iso slider had an issue, and wouldn't capture. Also sabre and pixel 3 awb was not included so this version is updated to include it
https://drive.google.com/open?id=11ORyhdqIjFXNlZFsdfA0NDEW8auU3aNr
So sliders had some issue of not triggering for both iso and focus. After multiple test trials, san1tyy and defcomg pulled through again and got it working! APK is also cleaned up to only include Edzman v3, savitar v2, and stock google libs. Enjoy guys.

Make sure you are on the latest global beta from Xiaomi, or the latest beta from xiaomi.eu for camera not to lag in viewfinder and processing HDR+. This mod is based on BSG's latest version with working telephoto lens. Thanks to the great defcomg, xtreme and san1tyy over at telegram, here are the changes:
-added 45 frames, and 50 frames. The 50 frames will cause viewfinder to flicker like crazy but it does works.
-removed ISO limit of 9600 because stock camera can go up to 19000+ iso
-long exposure added for up to 32 seconds in hdr+ enhanced and night sight
-manual focus sliders and exposure sliders
Slo motion should work, motion photo do not work because of lib issue from xiaomi. For configs, use Pixel XL for rear camera, processing use 2018 zlsr+, front camera can use Pixel 3 XL. Using Pixel XL gives correct awb vs Pixel 3 XL which gives a true to life color at night time with low lighting (ie.. 5 to 10 lux).
Night Sight Working on China Stable 10.2.1.0

use xiaomi.eu rom or beta chinese
I am on the official global rom 10.0.11.0
I'm on official global ROM as well and the view finder is incredibly laggy
global rom will do this, you need to be on global beta or xiaomi.eu rom or chinese beta rom
Any news on the global stable update?
I find the Xiaomi forums a pain to navigate otherwise would check myself heh.
Hi xterminater07, Thanks for your work! Its impressive! I use this version of gcam for my LG G6 and works great but I have some doubts about the 32s long exposure. Could you tell me what file inside the gcam package can I modify to try other configurations? I decompile the apk but I cant find where the parameters are for the amount of seconds depending on the lux. Thanks!!!
PD: Sorry for my bad english
All the lags and slowness disappeared after the latest global update (received the ota and updated an hour ago), now when I tried night Sight, taking multiple shots in a row etc etc there are no lags whatsoever anymore for me!
I was just about to flash the EU rom to fix the lags but no need anymore!

Does any one find that you have to tap twice on the camera button to take a pic? Very annoying
Thanks for this great port! Is it possible to implement the option that the portrait photos wont be saved in a separate folder? In the port for Pocophone it is...
Thank you again!
How do I enable the telephoto lens?
Sorry, just figured it out. Enable Aux camera in BSG settings, then double tap change camera icon (the one to change to front camera). It changes from back normal > front > back telephoto.

Thank you for this, i was just trying to figure this out haha.
Does portrait mode work on your Mix 3? When i select portrait it zooms-in and only makes one photo while it says 'burst images'. When i disable zoom on portrait the only thing that seems to change is the zoom, but no acutal portrait shot. Well.. it seems the same as a normal photo

I noticed that it does not work for small objects, but works well with people. I guess the subject has to be far enough for portrait mode to actually work.
Regarding the telephoto lens, there seems to be no noise reduction applied to it, unlike the main lens. This results in very grainy photos especially during the night. Can you add noise reduction, or an option for it for both lenses in the settings? Thanks

Works fine for me, but only for actual portrait photography. It can't recognise objects.

have you tried clicking on the resulting image, if you open it, you will see a blurred one and the non-blurred editions.
so the resulting image is like a folder that when you open, it will have the blurred edition inside it.
Ive discovered that the newest Gcam port from the Pocophone thread also works on our Mix 3! It has more options like save in camera folder when taking portrait shots and so on... Everything works, is there any downside using it?
I got the latest gcam versions working on mix 3 so gonna share it here
Sanity:
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/GoogleCamera_6.2.030_stable_alt.apk
BSG:
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/MGC_6.2.030_RN7_V1plusplus_FINAL.apk
Will Attach Sample Images Later
The Sanity apk worked for me but BSG kept closing. Thanks very much!
Everything seems to be working without any issues - it has some cool camera modes not in the stock camera.
I will use this for the night sight because I hear it's better than MIUI's version.
But I'll keep MIUI camera for front facing pictures:
gcam front facing flash lights up screen rather than uses the torch at the front.
In gcam settings, front camera photo resolution maximum is 6.2 megapixels instead of 24MP.
gcam has digital zoom! This is good - stock doesn't have digital zoom.
Does anyone have any opinion on MIUI camera vs gcam for daytime pictures though (mix 3)? It's night time here so I can't compare yet.
Looks like gcam does not use the optical zoom (2x) like stock does. Only digital zoom available. So stock camera may be better here for far away shots.

Using the telephoto lens is different on GCam 6.2 version, it was easier on previous versions. IIRC, you have to go to settings (settings > advanced > on the bottom there is a "Switch to the auxiliary back camera" switch) every time you want to use the telephoto lens. A bit annoying but there's nothing we can do about that, I'm afraid.
Hello, i just want to say that the latest Google Camera 4.3 by Urnyx05 works amazing! It has much better results than stock camera. Pictures taken with Google Camera have much better dynamic range, more details & more natural color representation. Night photos have much more light, thanks to Night Sight mode & optical image stabilization. It has more noise which can't be easily seen until you zoom in. Sometimes white balance can be a bit off depending of the scene, but all in all, much better experience than stock camera. Selfie camera, pretty much the same experience as back camera, much better.
Video quality is not that different, maybe little better because you can set bitrate up to 100mbit vs (40mbit on stock camera) which works, i verified it in MX Player video info.
You need Android 9.0+ custom rom if you want to use Google Camera.
Everything works well. Only bug it has is front camera video & fast motion not working.
Settings: HDR+ Enhanced, Nexus 3 AWB on, 25 HDR Frames capture, 16:9, Full resolution capture. I disable face retouching for selfie camera.

Night Sight works here, and you see aloooooooooot.
Oh, you don't see anything on the screen when shooting, but take a photo, and you will see the end result.
Do you have the stock camera apk? i want to install it on android 9.0 but i didn't find any source for it.
UPDATE! Urnyx v2.2 works well!
Thx!
Can you update the link in OP?

Check Celso website. All his version are here.
Urnyx05 GCam APKs - Google Camera Port
Modified Google Camera app by Urnyx05.
www.celsoazevedo.com
Thank you very much for fast responce and URL. I downloaded and installed "GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.6.apk" and it work!
Some minor issues with opening photos on gcam app (but work in gallery app).
Video quality the same (as I saw). But photos like pixel (I have pixel 3a xl).
I saw that all the threads about anxcamera got closed because they contained links to the anxcamera website, violating rule 13, which is why I won't be posting any links here. I just hope to be able to discuss ANXCamera tips and tricks in this thread, just like we can in the gcam thread.
There is now an ANXCamera version available for android R, which is great for the people on aosp custom roms. I am particularly interested in ANXCamera for the wide angle lens because gcam doesn't do wide angle lens distortion correction as of now, and the MIUI camera also has a little more options for video recording. The video recording for the main lens works really well, all 1080p and 4k modes work, also their AI 8k whatever that is works fine. For some reason EIS only appears to be working on [email protected], [email protected], it doesn't work at all for 4k and [email protected] Most of the alternative modes on the main camera, panorama slowmotion etc seem to work fine. 64MP seems to give me an overly saturated (like it's deepfried) image and the night mode processes infinitely. On top of that, no AUX lenses appear to be working. Portrait mode doesn't work, wide angle lens crashes the camera and there is no option for the macro lens. At least the front camera works fine, I usually prefer it over gcam for selfies because gcam shows too much detail in selfies. All my testing is done on the derpfest R rom with the latest firmware.
So in short, ANXCamera for R is pretty broken right now and I would only use it for selfies and video recording in some cases.
Too bad this discussion did not get any replies yet.
@GalaxyTroll, which version of ANXCamera did you test? I noticed on the website that in the changelog of v204 lmi is mentioned, but the wiki states that it still needs to be tested on this device.
I'm hesitating to test this version myself, because due to personal circumstances I might not be able to restore my phone in case something goes wrong and for now I'm totally depending on it. Did anybody try v204 on the Poco F2 Pro?
I'm on Lineageos 18.1.
The version I tested here was 185R by Noid. I also just tested version 190R (on 19-09 crdroid) and it's still pretty bad, in some ways worse than 185R. For starters, EIS doesn't appear to be working at all anymore. "Steady Mode" can only record in [email protected] and even then it's not even applying EIS. The only available video options are [email protected] [email protected] and [email protected] and those work fine, but I couldn't find a 4k option so I think it's gone.. H265 encoding doesn't work although H264 works fine. Slowmotion and timelapse modes seem to be working just like in the previous version.
As for photos, wide angle lens is still broken but this time "super macro" switches to the macro lens so that works now. Portrait mode does seem to work this time, and it seems to apply the bokeh effect correctly. Panorama mode still works as well. However 64M mode still produces wayy overexposed photos and Night Mode results in a "cannot connect to camera" error.
Props to Noid for making this mod. but for our device it's still a long ways off. Too bad that EIS doesn't work at all anymore because video recording was one of the things anxcamera could do possibly better than gcam.
btw @heinhuiz v204 does not work at all when I tested it, it's not even able to connect to the main camera and the app just closes.
