Google camera - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers

Which one of the best gcam apps for Redmi 5 plus?There have no problem issue like (Force stop,Front cam potrait,Back cam potrait)
Please give me the link.....

Depends on the rom you are using. If you are using an Oreo rom with camera 2 enabled, you can install the latest GCam by Arnova, here's the link: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/...leCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8Final-test.apk

This here is by far the best version I used on my Redmi 5 Plus with MIUI 9 (Android 7)
Sorry, I am not allowed to post links yet

Trust me, I tried a bunch of ports and EVRYONE had a force close here and there. It was very annoying. With this version, everything works and had only a crash when I first started the app.
Runs perfect since then and made hundreds of pictures since then.
I tried these settings:
Auto-exposure mode: default
nonZSL HDR + underexposur multiplier: 0%
Advanced settings-> Main camera:
Base model: 2 xl pixels (all are blurry except with pixels and nexus 6)
Tuning back cam-> apply custom denoise params, check it and bring it only: custom luma denoise low light: 2.8
Tuning front camera:
base model: nexus 6p
apply custom denoise params to check and leave as it is.
minimal hdr + smoothing disabled (loses a lot of quality)
HDR + parameters: pixel 2017 faster zsl
hdr + camera config: pixel 2017 Zsl hdr +
Advanced settings HDR +
Final quality: 100%
NonZSL HDR + antibanding mode: 60hz
Use Hexagon DSP: yes

darkgizmo please could you tell me the name of the author/version of the gcam you use?
The text of the link you wrote doesn't work if I paste it into Google. Thanks

I found it in the thread "[APP][FEEDBACK] Arnova8G2's Google Camera Port" on page 16. The developer is called Saneklic, he is russian, I found a russian forum, but i can no russian, so i am not able to
download the newest version (besides that, the version I got runs perfect, so I think I won't upgrade anytime soon).
Just type this in your adressbar:
drive.google.com/open?id=1h_82pHyqg9LHnP4LwVH8IO9wImzpFYt8
Ok, found the developer page:

Really thanks, it works, tomorrow I'll try it!

I really want / need to install gcam on my redmi note 5 plus but I had a problem with the bootloader unlocking, I no more can use the Plex vpn for free and I don't want to pay for it.
I couldn't find another trial vpn china based.
Somebody know the way of pairing the mi account with the phone without vpn - and furthermore why Xiaomi make things this way?
I mean I created an account from Italy but I can only use it from China? Absurd!
Please help me!!!
If I'm not in the right place please let me know.

There's is a separate post in the guides section. Which explains how to. This is for the snapdragon/pro variant. I can't say for your version of miui yes or no. But there's a post just about that. So that would be the place to ask
Found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/guide-how-to-enable-camera2-api-t3419579
Wow thanks, and this camera have beautify mode!
Sent from my Redmi Note 3 using XDA Labs
Good sharing, but i can't use manual setting. I've enabled camera 2 api, Manual camera, proshot and open camera works flawlessy, but with this i can't set my exposure time and iso. When i try to change vales, black screen, does'nt FC, but camera turns to black images. So black photo. Possible that have lost libraries?

I notice the manual iso doesn't allow for full control. It works fine with shutter speed set to manual and manual iso. But when set to auto shutter speed. Iso adjustment doesn't go high enough. Leaving u with a very dark screen unless u use manual on both iso and shutter
Here's a photo moving my hand fast with .5s shutter speed and 100 iso. The values on manual iso/shutter need adjusting for this device but when both set to manual works great. I'm not a software writer so I can't. I could try but is that safe haha wonder if @TheStrix would wanna use this on the official cm13 build. Few adjustments and its a perfect stock camera. With the camera2 api functions

[RR-O-6] HDR+ in only working on selfie cam(by now). Only Oreo 8.1. Check pictures!!

Thanks to @2CanSan. He reported this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/essential-phone/themes/magisk-based-gcam-port-ar-sticker-t3730837 in the AospExtended ROM V5.2_V4.6 by @NFound.
I have been doing test with the GCAM magisk modules. There are 7 versions 15A to 15G. I started with G version but the configuration is fixed and I can meke the cam work. The F version is very configurable. I have done a lot of test and I have achieved the frontal cam HDR+ and Potrait work.
It would be great someone with AEX(Oreo) test this module and report the results.
Steps:
0. ROM Resurection remix Oreo(8.1). It can be found in the AospExtended ROM V5.2_V4.6 thread
1. Install Link v15F
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=962187416754461390
3.Open the Gcam(installed with the point 1 module) and follow this steps:
Note: back camera is working but hdr+ is not working, is like a normal camera apk.
3 in Settings/B-S-G Mod setting
- Select Model Pixel II.
- In Manual fixed black level offset select 63.
4. Exit from setting. Close the app and Remove the gcam from the tasks.
5. Open the camera (become black because the back camera is not working) and change to front camera.
6. In Settings/Advanced options enable HDR+ control.
7. Disable Movement, Disable flash and enable HDR+ improved. Test your results against the rom camera. Attached mines.
8. Test front potrait mode. Works almost fine..there are some arifacts.
Note. if you change the app setting and the app crashes and don't let you change the settings, remove app data and start the configuration from the beginning.
Tha app allows log so maybe our great co-phone developers can make the back camera work. It would be great!!!
Video of steps https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iYKZiAHyvqngkWgZY_eLAiXNEu818Krk/view?usp=drivesdk
In mode of magisk the S.O Crash and Reset in AEX
only Install in Recovery, You are warned ...!!!
It works even if those color bands did not come out in the photos, it would be excellent: D this I had seen before, there is a dedicated thread of the essensial Phone and version 7 is the only one that works with Axon 7, I had tested it in the OrderKriegger ROM but I confirm and confirm that it works with AEX.
The normal selfie camera works as well, but I feel that the portrait mode has more quality in the image ... the bug made it to lose. If you like selfies this is your app ... if the front camera as in my case you have it more ... better looking to improve the rear camera! : D
I have posted this in the magisk gcam module:
Hello all. Firts of all thanks for your sharing.
I have an Axon 7 with Resurrection Remix 6 (Android 8.1 based on LOS). I have flased the 15F version and selected Pixel II in "Model" and Auto in ·Config camer HDR+".
I have Front camera hdr+ working on front camera....Incredible improvement of quality in special at night!!
But back camera is not working (only work when I remove gcam data and "Model" is not selected).
I hava compared the logcat on front and back camera opening and the error in the back camera is this:
E Camera3-Device: Camera 0: sendRequestsBatch: RequestThread: Unable to submit capture request 2 to HAL device: Function not implemented (-38)
I know our device camera has not Google camera API 2 implemented, but why front is working and not back? Any advice?
Thanks!!
HDR+ is working but portrait has alot of blue and red artifacts on front camera back camera dosent work unless changing the model i hope something gets a workaround soon

You sure the back camera shoots HDR+ enhanced? Nobody here was able to do that, and we all tried F on AEX or RR.

You don't have HDR+ enhanced. Of course. I could also take pictures with the back camera, but HDR+ enhanced actually takes a bunch of pictures (an 8 shot burst i think) and puts a loading circle for half a second in the middle of the screen while it does. after that, when you open the gallery it should blend them all together. If you actually see a huge difference then it works.
Use the front one and choose HDR+ enhanced, you'll see what it does if you have it configured correctly
the portrait mode has been released as open source now

nope, the software to make the model was. And it wouldn't have been useful for us anyways, because what we need is HDR+ enhanced on the back camera, we already have portrait mode semi-working

Gcam 6.2 moded version

Hi to all,
I faind that moded Gcam last version 6.2 from bulkin043, web site:
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-bulkin043/#apk907
Is half way working. Video, timelaps , panorama is working in Mate 20 Pro. Other things just stopped work. I think that someone who know can fix this and make this application works very well.
On this web site you can faind moded Gcam for LG V40 or V30 so that means you can use all 3 camera lense. But still someone need to fix this application.
I would like if someone can contact bulkin043 for help. Or just make the petition if we need it. Or whether bit it will be fantastic of we have Gcam on this very strong camera hardware.
P. S. When you open the camera turn off "motion" and then swipe to the video or oanorama or more otions.

Strange I installed and could only get lens blur working the rest just freeze then fade to black
i have got this version works for back camera photos but you to use these settings and steps:
1. Download and install the following version (6.1.021) https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova_TlnNeun_1.2_test_fix_Exynos.apk
2. hold press on the camera app icon, from the pop up choose take a selfie ( the app may crash in the first time)
3. Allow for all permissions.
4. swipe for more, settings > advanced (the first one) > Base > Config > Pixel2017 HW Zsl Hdr Intent(need YUV) also 2018 is working
5. Go back for the in the same advanced menu and go to FIX > Viewfinder Format > YUV_420_888 (Default)
6. Optionally turn on HDR+ Control ( in settings > Advanced (the last option in the main menu)
Notes:
- the app will crash everytime you go settings after you apply previous settings.
- the app will crash when you switch between front & rear camera ( if you need to take a selfie just hold press on the app icon and choose take a selfie )
Those settings worked for me but i am not sure if google's HDR+ is working

Thanks for sharing, but all of them are quite unstable and besides HDR (I didnt see difference from normal mode) no special mode is working. As for normal camera mode I found postprocessing (PP) from huawei camera better->more natural with all 3 cameras working with Night mode ofcourse and STABLE!!! On the other hand Gcam on samsung S7e (I sell it yesterday) produced much better PP and functionality with HDR too. But is there any need for Gcam in these days when huawei is so good? Just my thought...
edit: I tested 3rd Gcam 6.2 side by side Stock camera (pro mode) and I have to say, in good light stock camera destroyed Gcam but when it comes to lowlight, gcam won every single shootout (with NO night mode) Ive got amazing noise free shots with good detail

Google cameras that work well on TCL Plex

Hi
Thought I would post a list of gcams that seem to work really well on the TCL Plex
Simple one not many options
The dise
V1.2 now available and probably the best camera for the Plex, can now enable wide angle camera very stable no crashes during usage that I have experienced.
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog1276/
Tigr camera
Using version 6
Lots of options available on this camera the most advanced and stable wide angle camera also available
Only crashes is using zoom lens, best disable in options
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-tigr/#apk1617
Marco gcam
No wide angle camera very stable really nice features to set the XML files with it
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-marco/#apk1636

Fantastic camera one of the best I have seen supports wide angle camera a few tweaks needed

Good man I love my Honda's that's a CRV with 210k miles and runs lovely
Greatness is probably the best cam of all the ones I have tried
(my old car is the Civic, from 1997, and only have 150K kms.. i really love that car)
about the camera, i tried the install in my Xiaomi Redmi 5 (the version of your link, 1.9, and the last one, 2.1.1, i guess.. but both crash at start)
about the TCL Plex, what version do you use? have any config files? (i saw in the page that there are some kind of configurations for camera modes in xml files.. but the developer states that config files should be adapted to phone/camera models)

anyway, i'm migrating to tcl plex and when i finish it i'll change my ROM in redmi 5 (problaby for paranoid.. never had it but seems interesting.. they released a new version lately)

Question Gcam for zenfone 9?

Did someone tried any gcam version for the zenfone 9? The cameras of this phone are suck, over sharpness, selfie? On paper good selfie sensor but the results are poor
Oversharpening effect on Zenfone 9 is very strong. Every Zenfone 9 user should inform Asus that they aren't happy about it on Asus forums:
ZenFone 9
zentalk.asus.com
If nobody reports anything on their official channels then Asus will think people like it
Try out the latest BSG gcam mod:
BSG GCam APKs - Google Camera Port
Modified Google Camera app by BSG.
www.celsoazevedo.com
Working front, rear cameras. Haven't test everything. But so far so good. Wide angle works too. No config applied
The stock camera auto HDR pictures are way to overexposed. This is just an example I took this morning. I prefer the gcam output.
I will post about this in the Asus forum once I have more time.
Cheers

You can try lastest Wichaya's 8.1 v1.6 Gcam:
Wichaya GCam APKs - Google Camera Port
Modified Google Camera app by Wichaya.
www.celsoazevedo.com
The GCam makes photos look way better - how ever I'm not knowledgeable enough about the configs to know how to fix. The 8.1 Wichaya version seems to work the best. Though video modes still feel sluggish in the viewfinder. A lot of delay from moving the phone.
I also can't select the main 773 sensor in the noise reduction section. It's simply not there as an option.
Oh well. It seems to work otherwise. Slow motion and 50MP RAW has been disabled for now from Wichaya.
This guy evidently got GCAM working and notes improvements over native camera app.
Has anyone how things are with android 13? The Gcam is way better, but cannot be used for all purposes, I wish Asus just fixes the heavy post-processing so I can use the native app which is great by the way.
I just joined Android 13 beta program from my Zenfone 9. No ROM yet, but will let you know when they start rolling out.
I made a config for my Wichaya 8.1 and created noise model with some other adjustment to the settings
Enabled 50MP for video and slow mo only (partially working)
Just my 2 cents for wichaya.
The photo is tricky (but ugly) and the purpose was to demonstrate that the Asus process is not on par with the Gcam for color rendering and HDR.
The reds (box, chair and dress) are much more realistic on the Gcam shot. Same for the woody wall.
And look at the sky....

The 50M dont work
Did anyone get a gcam with working portrait mode? For me it doesnt apply the blur effect. I have to manually end the blur in Google Photos after

Works for me.
I'm using Wichya's Gcam mod + zenfone8/9 config. You have to take the photo in "Portrait" mode.

I'm a little new to this. How do I apply that config?

GCam_8.1.101_Wichaya_V1.6.apk
Wichaya8.1-ZF8-V5.xml
In the app, you Setting -> Advanced -> XML config -> Import XML config (and you import it).
Before it will allow you to import, you also have to give the gcam the "All Files" permission.

Thank you! Where do you find the config files?

Oh I worked out the problem. It only applies portrait mode to photos of people, not to other objects. I remember this was the case with the original Google Pixel 1 that I had.
Is it the same for you?
It doesn't pick up my dog, which is a bummer.

Sadly, I don't have a pet to check
It works on my front and rear camera in vertical or horizontal orientation. It only works this way in "portrait" app setting (so chosen from between Night Sight/Portrait/Camera/Video/more...).
I've provided you the link to the config file too. It's an .XML file in the previous comment.

Yes I got it thank you very much. I have a Pixel 6 too, and the portrait mode on that (and camera in general) is much better so I may just stick with that for now.
@eVen123 the config you link to is the one for Zenfone 8. Am I correct there is no Zenfone 9 config yet?
Is the gimbal stabilisation then used with Gcam?
