Works on Redmi Note 4X (SD625)!
Tested on Redmi Note 4X running official Lineage OS 14.1, Camera HAL3 enabled by default
- Photo Image Stabilisation through HDR+
- (Often) more accurate exposure
- (Often) more accurate colour rendition
- (Often) sharper and more detailed shots.
- Far far more usable images in low light.
- I can actually capture some still pics of my kids! (with HDR+ turned to ON instead of AUTO)
Problem is the port is still quite buggy. Certain modes don't work. Hopefully it will be ironed out somewhere down the line.
doesn't work on omnivision sensor... Picture taken have a pink layer...
On samsung sensor,
Some captured pics have green tinted on it.
I say man , HDR+ works pretty well.
Only i had that kind of problemo
How does one get any update for the modded APK?
With sony sensor on MIUI 9 the app crashes on open.
Crashes on startup on Redmi Note 4X Snapdragon, MIUI 9
It crashes because you did not enable Camera2 API, you must add persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1 to build.prop, save it and restart phone.
Then app will work.
Already a good thread here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-4/themes/google-camerawith-hdr-mido-t3656196
i'm using this right now, my device have a samsung sensor if you turn off the hdr+ the photo will have a green tint on it, also slow motion is not working, i have seen a post from mi 5s users they don't have the slow motion as well but someone made a flashable zip that made the slow mo worked, i don't know if we can do that as well on our device because the mod is actually made for 820+ devices, but because of this app i never went back to miui photos are way better that miui cam

This thread has been created to provide Poco F1 feedback to @Arnova8G2 regarding his port of the Google Camera app.
Describe your experience (mostly what doesn't work as expected)
Provide logcats: the dev does not have your phone, so logs are needed if you want him to fix stuff (How to take logcats?)
Mention @Arnova8G2 when you post your feedback
ALL FEEDBACK PROVIDED IN OTHER THREADS OR WITHOUT LOGS WILL BE IGNORED

Crash at launch means it's not functioning at all?
Is there any other gcam which is working?(maybe mi8 or mi mix 2s camera port)
None of BSG, Arnova, cstark, arthur work.
We will wait for the s845 pixel 3 to come out then we will have a fully functional gcam
Did you guys try out the one given in this video description?

Camera samples from Arnovav7 beta test9 are aweful. Please look at samples from Poco F1 (V7 beta test9) vs Redmi Note 5 Pro (v8.1 beta3)
Redmi Note 5 Pro - 7.9MB
https://image.ibb.co/j2iG9e/Redmi_Note_5_pro.jpg
Poco F1 - 1.9MB (For some reason, it does not capture beyond 2-2.5mb) and hence loses details in images
https://image.ibb.co/gfctpe/Poco.jpg
Redmi Note 5 pro - Zoom (Look at the details on the pink basket, it is so clear. Look at the pink comb, and you can see the bristles clearly)
https://image.ibb.co/fbj1aK/RN5_PRO_zoom.png
Poco F1 - Zoom (Look at the washed away details on pink basket. The bristles are looking bad on pink comb)
https://image.ibb.co/bBi85K/Poco_zoom.png
Result - None of the GCAMs are currently producing good images. POCO F1

Sanjav, photos are again bad with 7.9.7 APK. I have a Redmi Note 5 pro, and Poco is not able to match the photo quality. As I said, we would require @Arnova8G2 to look into our phone. I am ready to donate $10 if he is willing to help us out. Other members could similarly contribute generously for his efforts.

Damn, I didn't look at the file sizes and thought MI improved the stock cam optimization a lot as it was capturing a lot better than Gcam. So it's definitely capable of massive improvement with Gcam. I hope it isn't hard for Arnova, Serjo & BSG to port stuff as the camera sensor is closer to Pixel 2 and other phones like MI 8 would also be benefited from this. We can tag Arnova & BSG after the sufficient logs are gathered.
You have to enable the camera 2 api firt then the gcam mod will work
I am using this currently
Potrait and HDR not working. But, HDR+ works great

It is enabled by default on Poco. You can run manual camera or such app to confirm

Do u have any particular settings to make it better

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.
Taken with the GCam mod 7.3.018-V2.8.1. with this miss the telephoto and wide angle camera also work
The first picture on the left was taken the stock camera app.
The second picture was taken with the GCam app, I like it better than Gcam camera app. Look at the detail on the headlamps. Pictures taken with stock settings
So why you use gcam
no link to the app ?? why??
Using the gcam app crashes when switching to the front-facing camera.
