What is the best gcam for Android pie in Redmi 5 plus??
I Have tested several and none are with the proper quality. Thanks.
Arnova gcam 6.1.021.
Only problem i have is that it doesn't save selfies and portrait gets stuck at editing HDR photo. Everything else is working perfectly and picture quality is really nice. And you also have night mode which makes wonders.
I use

It's the one before all night shot got introduced (it's a Pixel 2 port) but all features work as intended (camera, video, slow-mo, portrait, front and back flash) all stable and nice picture quality.
Night sight in the front camera is not working!!
Whereas in the back camera it does wonders
Is there any workaround?
I am using this and also does not work the front camera.

The HDR is working in Snap Camera HDR. It works like HDR+ on Gcam, although you have to tweak it.
For me, my tweak in HDR settings are: HDR Images 7, HDR Fine Contrast 3, HDR Coarse Contrast 3, HDR Overexposure 4.5, HDR Underexposure -4.5, HDR Saturation 4, Ghost Removal 3, Sharpness 0, Time Between Shots 1200 ms.
Don't forget to turn on Denoise in Photo Settings to High Quality.
I don't think it needs Camera2Api turned on to work, but I already turned it on since day one I owned Axon 7, so I can't tell.
For it to be like gcam hdr+, we first need to get gcam hdr+ working on our axon 7 since we need a comparison picture first in order to determine if snap is really capable of coming close to gcam.
And snap is also probably alot slower than gcam at capturing multiple images (like 7 or even more) which would make it necessary to take pictures using a tripod to get good and sharp results (if i am wrong on this, then feel free to correct me)
Otherwise i can imagine its an ok alternative until we either (and hopefully) get real camera2 api support in oreo, or figure out a way to implement it ourselves (which is very unlikely since that requires lots of skills to make that possible). I heard only 1 phone got camera2 api unofficially by some dev reverse engineering things in kernel and drivers etc which is really hard to achieve.

Man I couldn't agree more! I forgot to tell the results will not be as amazing as Gcam (I've used Gcam on my Mi5s, it was a total game changer). But the results from Snap Camera HDR will be better than an AOSP camera, I guarantee. The detail is there, the color.

Thanks for these settings, I will test them out over the next couple of days and see how it compares to the dreadful HDR mode in the default camera app that comes with Lineage.
Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 come out. A higher rating indicates that photos offer rich color (without over-saturating), sharp detail (with all subjects in-focus), and appropriate exposure (with even lighting).
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I'll be honest, it's pretty bad, frequently off focus, poor low light, lack of stabilization, but maybe fine for the price range I guess
Redmi Note 5 is probably the better choice for photo quality
Nonetheless, I think updates might help. At least I hope

In daylight conditions pictures turns out good with good focus , saturation levels etc. But color reproduction needs work and in low light conditions noise is quite apparent. Portrait is like 7/10. Selfies turn out good after the recent update, 8.5/10.
P.S. For stabilized videos I use nokia camera app and its upto the mark .
Low-light picture quality is abominable. Zoom tears images, there is a lot of noise. Images in daylight are pretty decent. For this price range, the camera quality is justifiable (I suppose). I have a Moto G4 Plus and it takes amazing photos compared to this device. If you remove the portrait mode, Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 has nothing over the Moto G4 Plus camera.
Hope to see changes in future updates.
Yes, pretty disappointed with the camera performance. I should have got the RN5 instead but since I already got this, I'll stick with it as taking pictures is not the main thing for me on this phone. Still, the quality is far off from the various paid reviews.
Is it better with Google Camera , anyboby ? Thanks

For sure Gcam pics are better. I have been using it from past one week and will sure never turn back to stock camera.
Moreover with Gcam you also get additional features like panorama , ar stickers and google lense.
Can anyone show the photo quality difference with gcam and the stock one?

dude pls give me the apk for it ..i am unable to find it and does ur g cam have slow motion and other ****..
It's quite bad with the built-in camera app , but it's quite acceptable with some manual camera apps and especially in HDR mode
I am yet to purchase the phone. I have seen lot of camera comparison with Redmi note 5 pro on YouTube but still confused. I am planning to use Lineage os if I buy the device.
Can anyone please tell me how is the picture quality taken with gcam mod on 6gb ram model with Redmi note 5 pro?

Is photo quality better than redmi note 5 pro if I use google camera on zenfone max pro m1?
Don't know but it is definitely better than the original Asus camera app
Earlier the photos taken from Asus were not that great as that of redmi note 5pro, but now with Google cam installed these are now coming extra ordinary, thanks for the team made possible without rooting the phone.

I installed Google camera after enabling api through fastboot but not much big effect is seen from Snapdragon camera
For example I did portrait mode on Google camera but it takes much time than Snapdragon camera and also showing images of low resolution and small megapixel (my camera support 16 MP but it showed images from 8 MP and allow motion is not working and hdr+enhanced is allowed but not working, the camera got stuck every time it is turned on
Okay at well lit conditions, not good at low light
During daylight, the rear camera photos are good.
But the phone doesn't focus properly on close objects.
The low light camera is bad. A lot of noise, less light detection, slow focus,etc.
The video quality (1080p) during day is good. But the device takes time to focus during a video recording.

Ever since I upgraded my note 8 to Oreo I have not been able to get a working Pixel camera port apk. When I was on Nougat I never had any problems, now I get focusing problems for front camera, blurry portraits for front camera, the camera will crash at times, and even rear shots dont look as good. Anyone out there know of a camera port that works good ?
I installed Pixel Experience AOSP ROM on my redmi 5 plus and I really enjoy the simplicity and design. However, one annoying problem is that GCam doesn't work as well as it used to be on MIUI. The main problem is the lens blur option - If you set the megapixel count to 12MP in lens blur mode - The feature becomes extremely laggy and unusable, it only works smoothly on 8MP and that's really disappointing. On MIUI I was taking lens blur pics on 12MP easily.
The second problem which is less infuriating is that installing the custom rom still haven't fixed the non-working front camera w/ HDR+ issue on gcam 6, but since this is a widespread issue I could live with that and only use the rear camera. (Unless someone did manage to find a solution then I will be happy to hear)
Thanks for the help
You can try the BSG Arnova version of Gcam.
Version is 6.1.021.220943556
Hello,
First of all, we glad that xiaomi produced this completed package phone with budget price.
Lets share our photos and videos experiences using this lovely device.
Currently the downside that I found in video is lack shooting 24fps video and Filmic Pro wont open.
Feel free to share your photos guys
The phone is capable of taking great pictures with the Stock Camera if you have good light conditions like you see in my sample shots. They were taken with the main camera and just point and shoot. No fiddling around in the pro menu. However in low light I would recommend using the Google Camera port. The results are night and day compared to the stock camera and also selfies come out better with the Google camera.

maybe it's some little hand movement while taking the shot, you should try to take a picture with the phone fixed so you see the real result.
Default camera with all 3 zooms

I'm not a huge photographer. I really need the camera only for point and shoot scenarios and for that the cameras in this phone are more than enough. And for low light and selfies I just use Gcam.

That's actually impressive that a phone can capture that much details!! I wonder how it looks with Gcam.
GCam result look better for me, even the Night Mode. Stock cam sometimes abit blur/miss focus, dunno why... but with GCam, the contras is more stunning than the stock.
Pro mode stock app can take longer shutter speed than Moment Pro Camera app that i have.
anyone tries the video? Moment Pro Camera app video still cannot shoot 24fps, Filmic Pro cannot open the app.
Any idea why the phone doesn't support 4k60 Video? Because it can take 1080p240 Video which uses the same bandwidth .
What version and settings of Gcam are you guys using?

The IMX582 doesn't take 4K60 but only 30 frames. If you go full HD then 60 fps is ok. It is the snapdragon 730 that can't and it's the only difference with the pro version (snap 855)
Here are from my "Redmi K20"

MIUI Sky Filter can help changes dull sky to a blue sky ? awesome
FilmicPro team still working on issue for Mi9T, just got invitation beta tester, they say will update it soon.
Do you guys have autofocus issues while recording videos? Mine aren't smooth at all, few sporadic lags and a lot of "bounce" effect caused by the lense that fails to focus.

yes, autofocus was or maybe still is broken, especially in 60fps mode - not sure how it is now on stable roms, as am using betas.
4K video are nowhere at 30 fps, more around 20fps.
I can see that EIS is working at 4K res on 9.8.8 beta
Honestly my Pocophone is much better in video recording than Mi9T.
Still photo wise - I have made many nice shots with pocophone in past, not a single one as nice with Mi9T so far...
pro mode, 32seg expó. beautiful night
Night mode stock cam.
