I am still on stock Oreo, rooted, running MIUI 10.2.2.0 (Android 8.1). I have already modified my build.prop to enable API 2.0. OpenCamera and Manual Camera both seem to function properly, even using RAW mode.
I would like to install GCAM on stock ROM while still deciding which custom ROM to eventually install. My front camera is not working, which I would like to fix, but not a huge deal right now. Where do I get GCAM for my OS and any necessary libs to install? GCAM doesn't show up in a Google Play search so I assume I have to side load it. Where can I find it and what else am I missing here?

Hi,
As far as I know, there s no working GCam apk for Mi8 lite.
I'd love to get it but it s not possible nowadays.
Maybe in the future hopefully.
You can check this topic where all the working mids of GCam for all devices are listed.
https://www.xda-developers.com/google-camera-port-hub/?nocache=1
You ok notice that many Xiaomi are listed but not mi8 lite.
Good day

Well, you got my curiosity up, so I started trying the different Xiaomi GCAM releases and actually found one that works on the Mi 8 Lite. I can not vouch for how well it will continue to work in the long term, but it does work. I took a few snap shots with different settings, including Night Sight. All works. It is the one for the Pocophone F1 dated March 5 (MGC_6.1.021_XCAMBase_F1_v3.apk). Everything seems to work except for taking 4K video. That gives me only a black screen. Change the setting to 1080P (it defaults to 4K) and video DOES work. Give it a try. Your mileage may vary.
Here is the link to it: https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/MGC_6.1.021_XCAMBase_F1_v3.apk
Edit: Now this is VERY weird! After it worked in all modes last night, today it only works in Lens Blur mode. No other mode works now, not even video. WTH? I changed nothing on the phone itself! I think it started not working when I turned the flash on. So if you try this, do NOT turn the flash on and see if it works for you. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. Still broken.

Wow that should have take much time to test every single one? I just tried few and has none worked I gave up.. Your test is interesting I guess a developer would find a way making it working... I think one day we love have a fully working app, hopefully. Maybe you should report your experience under the proper thread and it could help the devs making it work for the mi8 lite?
Thanks for the info anyway

To be honest, I did not try every single one. I just tried the newest version for each phone. The F1 latest worked so well at first. I just cannot for the life of me figure out why it worked, then stopped working. That just blows my mind!!
Okay thx for telling us. I think I'm gonna share your experience in mi8 game thread maybe one dev will have a look and help us.
That said I notice the community for mi8 was way more larger than our so I'm afraid that as long as mi8 lite will remain less owned that any other major Xiaomi device like pocophone F1 or mi8 it'll be hard to get développer attention.
Just have to hope a dev finally buy one lol...

That would be GREAT man! A real dev could probably figure this out in very little time. Hopefully so. I will be moving to either the Pixel Experience or Resurrection Remix ROM in the not so distant future. Just dont have time right now to mess with it. New upcoming job, mom in hospital, lots of crap going on to be worried about complications on the phone right now. I cannot have much downtime on it atm unfortunetly. I cannot afford to miss any calls.
Anyway, did you try it yourself?
No I didn't tried yet.
But great news on other thread in mi8 lite forum someone provided a solution.

I am now on the PE ROM, which works quite well, especially now that it does include the current Mi 8 Lite kernel from the Xiaomi source code PIE kernel (also meaning it is no longer firmware specific). Even DT2W works because of this. I have noticed that LineageOS is not getting any updates here anymore. It is already two months behind in Google security updates alone. GCAM works right out of the box with Pixel Experience. If you really need GCAM, give it a try. You can even download GCAM from Google Play with this ROM, as it appears to Google as a real Pixel phone.

Well, gotta say, the one from play store works almost fine. The panorama photos are the problem. They make the app crash. All cameras seems to have an issue. Almost all the apks and the lineage camera does not have a way to make the video work. That was my main problem. Now the video works, but the best think about the 2 lens on back, the panorama pics, don't ?

Hello!
A lil back story!
Im coming from a nexus 5 32gig, used it for 4 years, broke its screen and now kept it on the side.
was dying to purchase the iphone se for 21k via bajaj emi card, sadly that option wasn't available.
The only option i had was honor 8 pro 30k.
Device was great but i would have to care alot and i thought spending that much on that phone might not be worth it. phone seems great, but that big phone isn't really my thing and i doubt id use it to its full potential.
So with a heavy heart i booked the note 4 32 gig[as thats more than enough for me]
I dont mean to offend anyone, im sure people love the phone and its GREAT for the price. thats why i got it
ill be getting it tomorrow, so before it arrives i thought id get my self prepared and cheer my self up.
i plan to make alot of changes, it would be great if someone could guide me!
1] I plan to change the firmware to lineage os or any suggestions are welcome?
2] anyway i can get stereo speakers mod? like earpiece and bottom firing speaker together?[i did it on my nexus 5]
3] Any camera mods?
4] If i flash the custom firmware would it make an impact on my battery life? i kinda felt it does on the camera, but still?
5] Any mods i should install from your end guys? PLEASE advice?
I got this phone cause it has great support, great built and amazing battery!
So i just thought i can make it my own lil Pixel [aka nexus 5 replacement]
Really looking forward to some help
Thank you all:fingers-crossed:

Hi!
1. There are customs with much more features than LOS and you can find them there on xda. I hope you ordered a snapdragon variant!
2. Im pretty sure that i've seen something like that, but trust me - you dont want to try that, because earpiece is just much worse than normal speaker.
3. Everything is on xda! But sadly i dont think that camera will be that "good" as on MIUI because MIUI has it's own camera libraries. So if you want better camera stick to MIUI.
4. Not really. Usually only kernel affects battery life.
5. Viper4Fx and dolby atmos for better sound. Don't install any AWESOME 4K SOUND MODS.

That's not true, ported Google HDR+ Camera is actually WAY better than stock MIUI camera, especially in low light. It can shot in RAW format, working HDR+ and Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) and 4k recording for videos.
It can be used on both MIUI and all custom ROM's after enabling Camera2 API.

1. If you just want stock android just go with LineageOS, it's the best... If you want more you can go with Slim, PA, XenonHD, AospExt they're among the best custom rom out there
2. Dunno, I don't like music with the phone speaker because it always suck, I'm listening with my earphone and it's good enough compared to my legendary ipod touch, I can't find any significant downside.
3. Hopefully you will not get omnivision sensor because it really sucks on low light and you can't use the hdr+ mods until MIUI dev fix the bugs for omnivision sensor.
4. Yes and No, you will end up with about 10 hours of SoT... you will get 12 if the ROM is good, at least 8 if the ROM sucks.
5. Just check your camera if its sony or samsung just get the hdr+ because the only complaints about RN4 is low light camera performace, the hdr+ mod makes it perfect

No modds except that Google camera. The rest is just Octos rom. Not even custom kernel because ,for this device, every custom kernel is worse than stock Los one. Pretty unbelievable a?:laugh:.
But battery life is unbelievable also so no need for adjustment there.

Hello. It's me again, with another part of whole process called "make your smartphone just like you".
I've got this nice and shiny phone for about a month or so, I was able to unlock it on the second try (not sure why myfriends decided to turn it down the first time, but don't think that matters now), now I'll like to install custom TWRP 3.2.1.0. I've read today, that I do not need to make a factory reset after doing so. Is it correct? Is it just a misunderstanding?
Anyway, which custom rom do You consider to be the best? I would of course like to have newest Android, instead of being still in version 7 (which is not bad, but if it could be better, why shouldn't I use it?).
I do not have any specific features that I would like to have, but having plenty of configuration options is always nice.
For other options I do not really have an opinion, what should be important and what should be irrelevant. I've read that You could improve photo quality by using this stuff, but I'm not sure is it true or not. https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
If it would be possible, I would gladly accept FHD recording in 60 FPS (not sure if this is available in stock) and MAYBE (if possible again) better quality of night photos. Far the most important thing is battery life and no bugs. If the rom is having issues with getting network, gps, bluetooth or anything else, I'm dropping it at once. Also, stability and ability to work without reseting itself or crashing is wanted by me. I've also heard that some mods could be quieter than stock and I would also like to avoid that. And some extra points will be granted for mod WITHOUT most of the google apps, since I'm not using them and actually deleting them from any rooted phone. From what I remember, installing new ones has not been a problem, even on stock phone, but uninstalling them when You get it on start is pain the neck.
Thanks for any help that might be useful!
you've posted thread in wrong neighbourhood
anyways post here https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-4 in order to get more help suggestions regarding Mido
Oh, one more thing - I did not specify it before. My CPU is Snapdragon, so I believe it makes a difference.
OmniROM, NitrogenOS, ResurrectionRemix 6.0 all should be good to go, you can look through the respective threads to see what extra functionality/customization they offer and then decide.
Personally i recommend flashing FrancoKernel over (compatible with all above).
Also flash Nano or Pico Gapps if you want bare minimum google package.
I'm right now on Omni.

An extensive list of Oreo ROMs for mido is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-4/help/extensive-list-oreo-roms-mido-t3741277
Take your pick. I prefer ROMs based on AOSP-CAF, because they tend to be lean and skinny.
As far as camera is concerned, it all depends on your camera sensor. I have a Samsung sensor, and I find cstark27 mods of GCam very good - see https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-cstark27/
Ok, I'll look into it. Next question – how do I check which camera sensor do I have?

You will need to search the forum for that.
I'm also curious about this. I just ordered a Redmi Note 4 Global, 4/64 (mido) and I'm trying to figure out which Oreo ROM I should go with: Pixel Experience or unofficial LOS 15.1. I'm leaning towards the latter because of that sweet Treble support, but I don't know if it's more stable than Pixel Experience or not. Or if there's a ROM more stable than those two.
I'm interested in installing Magisk, the Xposed Oreo beta, Viper4Android, various Xposed modules and root apps. I want to stay away from SuperSU and SuperUser because they don't pass SafetyNet, AFAIK.

Hi!
I would like to ask if anyone on here could extract stock miui 10 xiaomi mi 8 camera app for me. I find photos taken with google cam to have really low quality (at least for now), and taking photos is kinda slow. I cannot do that myself because I'm currently on pixel 2 rom and don't really want to go back, because of the full substratum support on here. Again, I would be pleased if anyone of You could do that little favor for me.
PS I'm aware that it might not work, I'm actually 90% certain that it won't, but I still want to give it a try, since all I found on the web were ports from mi A1, and quite frankly they didn't work. Thanks in advance.
+1, hope someone can make it
+1 I support your request, I was checking some guide to do it by myself but it's beyond my skills.
I support that also !

Hi!
I would like to ask if anyone on here could extract stock miui 10 xiaomi mi 8 camera app for me. I find photos taken with google cam to have really low quality (at least for now), and taking photos is kinda slow. I cannot do that myself because I'm currently on pixel 2 rom and don't really want to go back, because of the full substratum support on here. Again, I would be pleased if anyone of You could do that little favor for me.
PS I'm aware that it might not work, I'm actually 90% certain that it won't, but I still want to give it a try, since all I found on the web were ports from mi A1, and quite frankly they didn't work. Thanks in advance.

It will never happens, because Miui stock apps are connected to the frameworks. On Pixel 2 you havent it. It will never works !

Porting of frameworks is a thing. Sure thing, I don't have necessary abilities to do so, but still wanted to give it a go.

Nah man, the Miui stock cams is not even that good.
Wait for a GCam port for Pixel2Rom.. is better.
Its not worth messing with miui framework for a medriocre camera app.

For me quality is better on miui than on gcam, because it's already there if You haven't noticed. Also there are more options on stock camera app, which I really like, even more so the performance is better so.. I guess it's subjective, people have their own tastes and preferences.

Someone did it on Oneplus One, I guess it can be done. Anyway it would be the only Cam app to actually use both camera sensor, unlike Gcam

seems like this died, having issues on pie with the app being made for an older version? planning to revive this idea?
There was a brief thread for the ROM in the ROMs section that was promptly closed. I don't know if it will come back anytime soon, because I'm not sure if the dev even understands why his thread was closed, and I haven't made any effort to discuss it with him. It was enough to get me curious, though, so I Googled it, and it's fantastic. I highly recommend checking this ROM out, even though you will have to go through Twitter or telegram to get support. I haven't found any major bugs, and the fingerprint reader works better than all of the other non-stock ROMs for me. The only thing I ran into is that it comes with AOSP dialer and I wanted to use Google's Phone app, but it won't install. I had the same issue with MiUI. I was able to use the patched APK from XDA, though, so I think I'm good.
cause it has apps that wants payments as bloatware

I haven't seen anything other than stock Google and AOSP apps, but maybe you noticed something I didn't?
I installed it it's kinda good with the additional improvements but whenever i lock my phone and put it for 5 min it reboots randomly for nothing, i did a clean instal with the right vendor anf firmware im only getting this issue on REVOS so i went back to derpfest

Huh, that's interesting. The only problem I've had with it is my email app (Spark) kept crashing, but I guess it was the app, because they updated it yesterday, and now it isn't crashing.
How is the FP on derpfest?

Tho i found where the issue was, i was using LKT a magisk module to improve the battery i guess it's not compatible with it's kernel.
Found i bug u can't share a picture from the gallery or an mp3 file from mixplorer or any file manager to the messenger app it's the only rom with this bug
For the fp it was better in january build now it's getting worse after every update and it work 1/10 outside in the sun so kinda not the best

Tottally agree! It used to be a copy of miuipro. And now is a king of miui eu with YouTube Vanved and micro g embebbed.
Don't thing that is the kind of dev we should support.
Lol I'm not suggesting anyone give him any money. I just liked the ROM and it worked great when most of the ROMs have some sort of issues that irritated me. Now I'm running ColtOS.

I´m not mentioning you, mate! Sorry! I'm talking about users in general, because this dev never really created a rom. Always cloned others.

No problem. I don't know anything about the guy or his past releases. I'm a flashaholic. Since my last post I've moved on to Titanium OS. It's great to have a phone with so many developers!
After trying this for a while this is my review:
Rom is very smooth but Android Auto doesn't seem to work. Fingerprint it's nice for me (I think the FOD is the problem of this phone no matter what ROM do you use), but it doesn't have facial unlock so it's a bit annoying when fingerprint doesn't want to work. Apart from that it doesn't have long press to kill apps.
Anyway it's a good ROM for daily driver if you don't need those features and has a lot of customization options!

What is this, and why are you posting it here?
I've used this ROM for a while but switched to MSM Extended. I had some issues with RevOS after the OTA update and missed some configurability.
My questions may seem dumb but I have never owned a Samsung phone.
I know samsung likes their bloatware and proprietary methods. Can I avoid all the samsung bloat and a samsung account and still use the phone? Are there ROMs that give a stock android experience?
Also what are you guys seeing for SOT? Im coming from a Asus ROG 6 Pro.
Any bugs you guys are experiencing? My 6Pro is so full of bugs that has pushed me to move brands.
You don't need a custom rom, you don't even need to root it, just use universal android debloater gui from github or adb app control to remove all the bloat (both include good instructions and details about what to remove) and going through first time set up you don't need a samsung or google account.
Unless you are using an international version there is no custom ROM option. The 918U and U1 models don't have the option to OEM unlock and flash ROMs.
You can easily umbloat using the mentioned universal android debloater.
Ui downloaded the 5.0 or sth like that and updated, then it all went south.
Stayed with the 5.0 version and it works great.
As for the ROM I put Nova Launcher and it works fine
Not the same but as long as the X3 camera shoots ****ty pictures I'll leave it warranty capable

What's wrong with your x3? Mine's impeccable. Didn't hear about any other complaints whatsoever.

No bugs. Phone is super smooth and battery is amazing. About bloatware you can find everything you need in XDA thread called "Samsung Galaxy One UI - Optimization Guide".

Well, I used the "remove noise" or whatsoever option.
But for a X3 zoom I find the quality more than disappointing.
My Vivo X70Pro shots better photos.
Applied goodlock camera assistant, a bit better, and even gcam.
But quality just sucks for such a "high end" model...
Hoping on a FW fix though since with gcam its quite less worse
No issue here with 3x zoom with my S23U camera (B-version, EUX), just stock point&shoot....
Something like this ?
I'll retry with more natural light.
Maybe that's the issue.
Was pretty dark the time I took the picture
Awesome, thanks for the replies. Since there is no custom roms, do we still have unlock and root available? At bare minimum i would like to install AdAway got universal ad blocking.

We can unlock and root. Look for the guide in this sub forum. Root will tripped knox tho, so some samsung app won't work. I would suggest using adhell to block ad

No magisk module or similar to get around this?
My biggest concern is just losing the samsung camera, I hear other cameras apks dont work well with the phone.

Please try to activate night mode before switching to x3. Also in low light you need to be VERY still for the sensor and ISP to work its magic.
Moreoever, keep your lenses clean as much as possible.
These 2 photos I just shot now in a very dimly light room.

Thx for the info, I will give it a try.
Just wondering why someone would apply night mode while using light in their living room
But if works like this, this is what it is .
Thanks for the info
