I have 2 redmi note 4 one I buy in March but unfortunately its 100% damage...so I buy second redmi note 4 who comes with Samsung camera sensor...so I am not satisfied with Samsung camera sensor pictures specially when I zoom any object pictures is not good...so I open my new rn 4 and remove the camera and inserted Sony imx258 camera but when I open camera app its says error... So I inserted Samsung camera again...so I wanna know any method is possible if I root my phone and change my Samsung camera sensor to Sony.the Sony camera sensor form old rn 4 who comes with Sony.
I don't know but if I was you, I'd install the better camera sensor, then flash the latest MIUI developer ROM with MiFlash. This way probably some config or firmware file will be updated and the camera will work (maybe a simple reset could do the trick).
Bro not work i flash with fastboot... But not opening the camera of sony.

There is a different camera models with different connectors model 3 / 32Gb is not the same as the model with 4 / 64GB.
The connector is in fact the same visual but your contacts do not match.
check this video:

Maybe someone from the craftsmen will fix it. The problem is that the camera is normally triggered. Makes good panoramas. But HDR+ doesn't work. The video on the screen writes well, and the output with green stripes.If anyone understands this, let's see.

No one is interested?
even I'd like to see it, but google made it for pixel devices running on s821 chipset.. other phones using 820/1 chipsets got it ported.. but since honor used kirin, it's incompatible and extremely hard to port my guess

My previous device was a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, which had a Snapdragon 650 processor, but a developer ported Google camera to that device, hdr+ worked almost flawlessly. Didn't use it but I also heard that the Redmi note 4 had a similar port done. So I don't think it's impossible to port it to devices that are not SD 820 and above. Maybe it's only a Qualcomm thing, that may well be the case.
P.S - Our device uses the monochrome censor to capture pretty good photos in low light, so I don't specifically think we need Gcam with HDR+
Found this version of Google cam that works on honor 8 (not sure about the hdr+)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/18Fi-ZXfMO7n1I0kzhYWaIxRpFhYUyLhX/view
Did both HDR+ on and off and I don't see a difference, camera app works though
Idle mode does not work for me, the screen is stuck.

please tell where you find and what is the version number.
thanks
I found it yesterday in the Huawei p10 xda pate and the version number is: 4.1.006.126161292

HDR+ can be turned on, but the photos have less range than the ones in default camera without HDR. Note that Google Camera only uses 1 of the 2 camera sensors.
I can bet u guys, Google camera in Honor 8 will perform better than stock camera. All high end, mid range, low end are the examples. You can check the comparison. I have MiA1 its stock camera is incomparable with Google camera. But someone should have to port it for @kirin_Chipsets to make it work.
Till now it is only available for Snapdragon and Exynos processors. Let's hope @Arnova8G2 will help.
Let's hope for the best

I guess only stock EMUI camera can use both cameras, so I wouldn't bet.
Maybe right but you saw the difference in photos between stock and gcam
Is there a working exynos gcam for the selfie camera?
Its the only one im interested for. I don't care about the night mode etc. Only want better results with the front camera.
I can't believe after all this time all we got for exynos are the three different apps which don't work for everyone from the other thread. I thought these devices were actively developed on.
I've been looking as well. Several times a week I took group selfies for events I organize, I haven't done this since I upgraded from S7 to S10e Exynos.
Half the devs have the snapdragon version and the other half are waiting for a price drop
As far as i know, there is no working HDR+ selfie gcam for exynos without rooting the device due to samsung limiting the selfie camera with no raw front in camera2api, so the only way is through rooting your device and place some modified libs in system to get it work.
However, there is also no working libs for galaxy s10 until now, but this is the way how Galaxy S9 & Note 9 got it to work.
Really need Gcam for S10 selfie
Really need this. Please develop asap.
Discuss about the S21 GCam Ports here whenever they're out
Is that the Google Camera? Being a Pixel owner the last few years I would love it if the camera app worked on the S21.

Yeah there are already google camera ports for the S20 and they will probably make it compatible or make a good config with the S21

Hi,
Pre-ordered the 21 Ultra yesterday, will also be looking for a working Gcam mod for this new phone.
Also I try to use Google Dialer app for S21 too!!

Congrats! it's a great phone
also GCam might not get ported to the exynos version (or it will but will take more time than the snapdragon version) i'm not sure though
Was able to try out Gcam on a Snapdragon store demo model today. Works similar to S20/Note 20 series in that front camera still doesn't work and Zoran's package fix enables the telephoto cameras to work. Pictures of all 4 rear cameras attached using Wichaya's gcam, might not look the best since I quickly used my S20 Ultra's profile without having time to tweak it.
Is there much benefit to GCam here? Samsung's app looks good from what I've seen.
On my Oneplus 6 it was useful, as the Oneplus app lacks panorama and Googles image processing is better.

It depends on whether or not you like Samsung's image processing. I personally still don't though will admit they have improved over time. The biggest issue is still under lower light, where they have aggressive sharpening and noise reduction. Fine details are often a problem indoors, like hair or fur. The main camera's sensor is pretty large so that helps, but the ultra wide and telephoto sensors aren't so it's more noticeable.
For those curious, I used Wichaya's Samsung Gcam here (3rd one): https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog1501/
I've not used gcam before - you can still just switch between the apps can't you? If so, it'd be good to have both and compare
how do we get the 2 zoom lenses to work with the above gcam ?

Got my Snapdragon S21 Ultra and here are my findings so far. It seems Gcam will freeze up more often in low light (you can unfreeze it by switching cameras, but it will freeze again after a few seconds). Telephoto camera and ultra wide are more likely to freeze because they have a smaller sensor thus less light. I've updated my XML for Wichaya's gcam that should work a little bit better.
*UPDATE* seems like setting stream configs helps stability and reduces/gets rid of freezing. Attached is updated XML.

thank you
Are you guys using the Snapdragon version ? The gcam I loaded can't take any photos at all.... Only black screen lol on exynos 2100
Thanks for updated XML file. Still get the odd freezing, but better. Yay to having an instant shutter again lol

ZGCAM 7.4 https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog1340a/
Alright guys, just an update on my findings. It would appear that ZGcam is actually the best Gcam build for the S21 series right now on both Exynos and Snapdragon models. For some reason I can't seem to fully disable focus tracking so autofocus in lower light can be a hit or miss. There are also differences between the models though based on what Samsung has chosen to support and what they disable.
Snapdragon S21 series: Supports all rear cameras (for the S21 Ultra, that includes both the 3x and 10x telephoto). No gcam support video on the telephotos at the moment. Front facing cameras also do not work because Samsung disabled front camera RAW for S10/S20/S21 snap series with the exception for the S10 Lite and S20 FE.
Exynos S21 series: I don't own this but based on reports, the front camera will work! However, the telephoto cameras won't, so Exynos S21 series only support the main and ultra wide cameras. Since I don't have the Exynos model, try the XML for the Exynos S20 here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/working-gcam-and-config-for-s20-exynos.4203625/

I just posted on reddit since it's easier to do captions there. I only posted the telephoto cameras since they have a smaller sensor and benefit the most from gcam in my opinion.
https://www.reddit.com/r/samsung/comments/lb89no
Any chance of the Exynos model getting a gcam port that works with the telephot lenses?
