This thread is created in support of Google Camera 7 by Parrot.
Share us your experience and unleash the true power of your camera sensor on RN7PRO aka Violet :highfive:
Capture any lighting condition be it Artificial, Daylight, Nightsight with just one initial setup.
Pre Requisites:
For Android Pie and Q
Clear Storage of any other Gcam mod
Uninstall any other Gcam mod
Install Gcam 7 by Parrot
Load the attached XML (Predefined settings) OR Customise the settings as per your taste
How to load an XML..?
As most of you already know, the XML file is a backup of the settings that you configure on Gcam 7 by Parrot.
To load an XML perform below simple steps.
Open File manager. Goto Internal storage-->GoogleCamera-->ConfigsCamera.
(Note: Folder names are case sensistive, in case you have saved your own settings, the above path will be generated automatically.)
Save the downloaded XML in "ConfigsCamera" folder.
Open the Gcam 7 camera app
Double click on the black space anywhere between Camera buttons below.
Choose the XML
(A drop down menu appears if multiple XMLs are saved, saving the XML with same filename will overwrite older filename).
Hit Restore button, the camera interface will auto-restart and you are ready for use.
Downloads
Recommended Gcam Version is Parrot V12 available for download HERE. Thanks to Parrot043 and his associated team :good:
All versions of Parrot Google camera are consolidated for dowload HERE. Many thanks to Celso aka S4turno at XDA.

FAQ's
Will it work if i am not rooted or with locked bootloader..?
Yes, Camera2api is pre enabled for our device. It should work straighaway on MIUI.
Doesn't work on xyz ROM. What do i do..?
First ensure Camera2api is enabled on your ROM. If yes, flash Gcam7_For_All.zip magisk module OR Flash HZQ_Gcam 7 Fix.zip TWRP recovery patch file.
Where are the magisk modules or patches...?
Please do some research online and find yourselves.

Closing the support thread
I am closing this thread as a newbie xda fellow member has got the administrative powers in a telegram group and is targeting the masses by making a discrimination between Gcam developers and forcing the masses to follow his personnel choices.
http://t.me/RedmiNote7ProPhotography
Screenshot attached as evidence. I opened this thread as there was no support or discussion about this particular gcam named Parrots gcam port. And yet been liked by many and willing for some guidance on its usage and settings. I can't help this community with such low minded thoughts.
I report @vlachorumsapiens for the offence. And close this thread. As the person finds me supporting Parrot Gcam is inferior to him supporting Arnova Gcam ports. Because he couldn't take the fact that Parrot Gcam took artificial lighting colors right with P4XL awb against Arnovas P2XL awb. Just that Arnova added him in private testing group Mr. V Sapiens assumes himself as a developer and targets a person in the mass.
I understand being part of xda since 2013 that anything apart from xda is not a major concern yet explaining why i choose to close is my freedom to speech. Submitting the report for your kind action please @Lupin The Third . Thank you.
Closed at op's request.

Hey Guys
I Designed a Windows Phone Theme for WhatsApp (KMOD)
Note: you MUST have installed Xposed Framework and KMOD
Kmod Works with all WhatsApp Versions, also Beta Versions are compatible.
Feel free Go Test it and give me Feedback
For me its running Well on OnePlus 5T Stock, Rooted, Nougat 7.1.1, OxygenOS 4.7.6
Known Bugs:
- sometimes IT Shows half designed and half Stock. Only fix is to force Close WhatsApp, wait 3 sec. And Open it again and then IT should Work
Heres the Download Link:
Http**/www81.zippyshare.com/v/Rnd1jhlW/file.html
Please delete the http**/
Pictures will i Upload tomorrow
Pleased do Not reupload with your Name, please link me when you share this file
The thread to post KMod FWA topics is this. And the file must have the extension .kmod, if not, the application will not detect it.

How-to run Android apps on ChromeOS [WITHOUT Dev mode]
This is for NON-PIXELBOOK owners that DO NOT have Android app support yet.
( Look here if you're device is already supported OR will-be supported: Here. )
Similarly, this allows Android app support WITHOUT developer mode enabled.
( Look here if you want to enable developer mode to support Android apps: Here. )
Instructions:
Download the ARC Welder Chrome OS extension, here.
To find APK files to run, look here.
Then, just simply Test the app.
NOT EVERYTHING WORKS, so do not freak out if it is not working for you. I got a few apps to work so I thought I'd share.
The main purpose of using this over dev channel was that I couldn't stand having to enter a command every time in crosh to enable Android app support on dead-restart, ONTOP of that being in dev channel, which is not stable for my day-to-day usage.
Hit me a Thanks if this helped you! :good:
This was tested using a ASUS C201PA.

Surprised no one has replied to this yet. I've tried several apps. Haven't found any that work yet. Can the OP list a few apps that have worked?

Hello Folks,
I'm planning to support the Mi 9 with XASP and i just need the Camera Media Profiles Config File from a AOSP based ROM of Your Device. Could anyone pull it and upload it here for Me!?
Should be in /system/vendor/etc and/or /system/etc...
I'm also searching for a Maintainer for XASP. If someone is interested just PM Me and i'll share the Details with You (You just need to repack/upload from GitHub using a Windows PC or Android Phone once the Month)
Hi, you can find the dump of stock ROM here: https://github.com/TadiT7/xiaomi_cepheus_dump/
Not sure if it changes, but at the moment I'm running GSI AOSP so if you need a dump of the profiles I can upload this one too.

Stock is using media_profiles_vendor.xml, not sure if a GSI loads the same File since there are 3 of them. I will try around, thanks for sharing!

I suggest you to take a look here at "video recording" section:

I'm not sure but maybe it can help you out

Looks like i have to use and edit all of them. Thinks i want to do are:
-4K Front Camera Video recording
-Higher default Picture Quality by less compression
-Higher default Mem Cap for Picture Processing
-Higher Bitrates for Audio and Video Profiles
-Higher default FPS Rates on Video Recording
And maybe more if i find something interesting... The Profile from Tadi is btw. a awesome Thing for Me. I always had to download full System for a few Files. That makes everything more easy. Thanks again for sharing!
As reading your requirements this will work with PHHs Treble AOSP 9.0 ROM ?
The project sounds interesting, also it mentions that it comes with Magisk, which Magisk Version is included?

PHH Treble AOSP 9 (Vanilla ARM64, NoSU) should be the best Choice
Magisk will come in Stable and Beta (18.1 and 19 right now). Does the Mi 9 has Orange Fox or at least TWRP with working AROMA Support? I have seen Problems with AROMA on the Mi 8 while the Poco F1 can flash the Patch fine (Same Specs and Systems can be used across them). I changed back to AROMA Installers since Magisk Modules are forcing restrictions to the Patch such as Device Security Enhancements and Setup Wizard edits. You can follow Me on GitHub to see what's actually going on.

Can't wait for this! If there is anything I can do to help, let me know.

Hello mate if you still need a maintainer as you mentioned i lovely would do it if you give me detailed instruction how i repack the rom in github cause i never did that.
Uploading somewhere should be no problem but need also the details where i should upload

Hi mate,
i´ll tryed now 3x to reply your PM but something goes wrong..... i wrote now a email over xda with the hope it will reach you

Hi all,
as the GSI topic here is still having a few issues, i have created a gsi overlay as per phhussons instructions:
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/How-to-create-an-overlay
The source code can be found here:
https://github.com/mKenfenheuer/vendor_hardware_overlay
Build/install instructions:
(Assuming you have a recent Ubuntu/Debian/Mint Linux machine running)
1. Install xmlstarlet and dos2unix
2. Go to build folder
3. Run bash build.sh
4. Copy treble-overlay-realme-x2pro.apk to /system/overlay in your gsi.
5. add the following property to /vendor/build.prop or replace with the attached build.prop
# Patch to add device specific match for treble overlays by mkenfenheuer
ro.vendor.build.overlay.deviceid=RMX1931
Works (confirmed by me):
- Always on display
- 90hz display
'Should' be working:
- Enables DT2W option but enabling does not seem to have any effect to me.
- VOLTE - i cannot test as my carrier does not offer this anymore
- more reliable network connection (i have noticed far less lte issues, but this is my perception)
MISC:
- Imported the settings from realme vendor (i don't know if they are nescessary)
If there are any issues, simply delete the file from /system/overlay with recovery file manager and reboot.
I've added the compiled apk to this post, in case you do not want to build it yourself.

As i have currently not flashed any gsi, i would ask you guys to test please.
Preferably with phhussons AOSP 10 gsi.
If there are any issues, simply delete the file from /system/overlay with recovery file manager and reboot.

I copy your .apk overlay to /system/overlay and reboot. I am on evolution gsi phh based. Nothing change as far as i notice.
Great initiative @mKenfenheuer !
I'll look into the settings to see if there are other that we could use!
@ospeto from what I see in the commits try to see if volte works and if you can switch user profiles.

I can switch user profiles just fine. Havent test volte though. By the way , the maximum brightness of gsi roms are not as bright as stock rom. Is there any fix for it?. I tried setting backlight to 255 but still not fixed.

I assume switching user profiles has not been working until now?
I have just unlocked my bootloader and started working on the kernel source so lets hope i can get this moving.
I will focus on the kernel first and once this is working we can start with getting other things working.

I haven't switch user profile before so i also am not sure. Should i delete your apk and test again?. I can't test volte cuz my sim provider stopped supporting volte. Thank you so much for your effort. I hope you can fix brightness, 90hz display and on display fingerprint. That would be very helpful for gsi users.
The fingerprint must be an overlay issue because even with bootloader unlocked it still works
Problems I'm facing with evolutionx gsi
1-no fingerprint or face unlock (face unlock was removed from Android Q but it can be added)
2-there's no 90 hz refresh rate
3-speaker volume is lower than color is
4-brightness is slightly lower than color os also
5-need the stock camera app for video recording because gcam isn't that reliable with video recording

There is a fix for the 90hz issue for the OPPO device
90hz just fixed with dtbo.img flashing. U can find it on your how to flash android 10 gsi post's comment. I am using with 90hz now and it is working flawlessly.

Yeah just flashed it and it's amazing
@exadeci all changes were merged into phhussons main repo and will be available in the next release.
He will also include a option in settings to force the display to a specific frame rate (eg.g 60hz) as 90hz will be the default with the overlay.
Sorry for maybe stupid question, but what letters “GSI” stand for?

Hello , i think maximum brightness on gsi roms are not as bright as stock one. Is it gsi rom's bug or do we need overlay for it. I want to watch HDR content so i hope this can be fixed.

Hi, can you give me the source for Velvet cam port?
I installed it and i only have 3 modes available, so even though a shortcut from the launcher will take story shot and portrait, they are not available in the Camera interface. The camera is much faster I have to admit, but trying to install the initial G8x cam apk fails.
Thanx
check out this new feature after android 11 upgrade :
