Hello everyone, I recently unlocked the bootloader of my Asus Zenfone Max Pro and installed Magisk to root the phone. All of this was done for just thing - Trying out the Google Camera as I do feel that the Stock Camera app is pathetic and that's the major reason why the Zenfone Max is not performing that great. For Google Camera to work, After you have rooted your phone, download this app called 'build.prop editor'. After it is downloaded search for 'persist.camera.HAL3.enabled' The value would be 0 by default, Change it to 1 and then reboot your phone. Now install the Google Camera apk(Whichever you feel like, I'm attaching the one that I keep using) and you're good to go. Everything including HDR+, Front And Back portrait Mode, Video Stabilisation works.
Here is the complete video review along with Comparisons with the Redmi Note 5 Pro On Google Camera.
Thanks....google cam is definitely better.
How to root Zenfone max peo
Now that you have rooted are you able to use Tez ?

hey brother, first big thanks to you for doing this.
yesterday i just ordered 3gb version of this and glad to find your google camera app review. i earlier saw your videos with max pro m1. i like the way you reviewed it, like a daily usage user unlike others who do monotonous review which gives the feel that the person did not even use it.
https://www.gsmarena.com/asus_zenfone_max_pro_(m1)_zb601kl-9173.php
Anyways, my query is regarding google camera app on max pro m1 ?
1) In the specs, its given that phone supports 1080p/60fps recording. During its announcement it was mentioned that such feature will come ? Could you please check whether google camera app provides the same ?
2) And in the video you have mentioned with google camera app, support for EIS comes in ? Could you please elaborate more on that.
And part from this, please give your general view with new updates how much is the Fingerprint sensor and Faceunlock is making life better or worse as most says because of its slow speed?
Cheers,
Arnold
Any apk for unrooted device? All can't root the device, as it has risk of making phone dead.
What happens to the Battery life and futures OTA updates !?
Thanks for the post
Indeed am looking forward to root my asus max pro m1 and install google camera
But Need to know how it affects the battery life and Future OTA updates that the Phone is likely to receive.
Looking forward for an answer !
Cheers and Peace!

It doesn't affect the battery life and apparently OTA Updates will work with Redwolf Recovery. I haven't tested it since there is no new update to test with

I haven't found anything for unrooted phones. Rooting won't make your phone dead. There are ample amount of guides here on xda which are very simple.

I couldn't see 60fps option but I will try some other google camera apk and reverify. About EIS, yes it works with Google Camera. Sometimes you get some artifacts on the left/right edge but overall the footage seems a lot smoother. I still find fingerprint sensor to be slower and face unlock is a hit or miss. I'd say it works 70% of the times. Struggles sometimes in indoor or dim lighting conditions.
i just use Oneplus Camera, i think its still better than Google Camera. Go find it at apkmirror.

Check latest pages of the GCAM thread. There are plenty working, but it takes like 1 min to take the picture with astrophotography mode.
Slow motion is not working with MGC_7.2.014_MiIXSE.RPII.MiVIII_V.apk . It exits immediately.

Yeah, after I posted I've read more about it and that's true. So I guess sanity's version is working fine. Gonna see if I cantest tonight. I know that it is working because I was trying to take a photo at the beach at night and after the timer I checked my phone and it was still processing :lol:
Check the attachment to see what happened to that photo that I've moved while it was still processing.

I will share my favorites as well:
I prefer MGC_7.3.020_Parrot043_V7 and everything works flawlessly.
I have been using the Parrot builds for several months and its consistently great. The Poco doesn't have OIS, the Mi8 has a smaller 1.8 aperture, ( vs 2.0) The Mi8 has a dual LED flash, and a wider range of abilities with video recording. So with this mind, the Parrot builds officially support the Mi8, while Poco builds are obviously designed specifically for the Poco and they often omit functions that the mi8 can use.
I also like the On Fire builds ( made for Poco but keeps all options available for other phones.) and I also like GCam_7.0.009_MiIXSE.RPII.MiVIII_V1
I recommend using the Parrot's 7.0.009 final goodbye version with my settings.

Thanks for sharing, do you use any particular setting for best results, I'm testing the version you shared and I was just wondering how to set up best for our MI8.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Slds,
any config files required or recommended?
Hi @QxiG, thread is being closed as an existing GCam thread already exists. Having multiple threads for the one mod is not productive. Kindly continue the discussion in the following thread:

You won't find working 64mp on any Gcam port. You can get all lenses working and I believe a max of 48mp. That will still get you good photos. Higher megapixels doesn't always mean better pictures. I think you'd be satisfied.

I'm using Urnyx05's GCam port for some months now and am really satisfied. Still I would like to use the full resolution of the sensor to have more detail and be able to zoom in closer. Also using all the Quad Bayer features of the sensor would come in very handy. Otherwise it's just a waste of potential.

Unfortunately to use 64mp you would need to be running stock. I feel you tho, I run AOSP ROMs without Gapps, so I'm limited to just the main sensor at 16mp.

I cannot get the 4K video working at all,
it crushes & shuts down.
have you tried that?
I reported at:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=83781077&postcount=2600
when change video res to 4K, it crashes and app shuts down
Dear Friends & Developers,
I installed it.
It works great except when I change the video res to 4K, app shuts down, whereas it works in full hd .
I was wondering if it can be fixed.
because I enjoy other functions of the program and I appreciate very much for the hard work.
I hope you fix it so that I could use your program rather than the phones default cam which takes 4K videos without any problem
all the best

Not going to happen. Only way to use stock camera is with stock firmware. If you want all working lenses on a custom rom then you will need Urnyx05 gcam.
Well, it is not what the OP asked for, but there are two free and open source Apps that can help with the Camera:
1. Open Camera - go into settings and enable Camera API V2. the quality of the pictures and videos are good.
2. FDcam - it allows you to use all the cameras, except for the depth camera. They all work.
Unfortunately, none of them get get more than 16Mpixels out of the main camera.

Im just curious if nord 2 will support gcam and whether developers will port it because of the mediatek chip. I'm planning to buy one and i really wish to have gcam. Any answers will be helpful.
No.
Edit 2022-02-11:
- MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1zfix (GCam 8.1)
----
The only "well" supported Mediatek phone is the Redmi Note 8 Pro and you need root to fix the viewfinder lag... it's just not a good experience.
If you want to use GCam, buy a phone with Snapdragon.
Guys plz check in apps section. I found one working gcam.
I briefly had the Realme GT Neo/X7 Max 5G, which has the same MediaTek Dimensity 1200 chip as the Nord 2. I found that the mods by Nikita and Wichaya worked well. I hope that helps.
It works well indeed, but it's not better than the original app for now

There are many versions of Gcam even without viewfinder lag who works perfectly (no wide cam tho but it's bad anyway), with configs etc, the details and quality are better than the stock app. Check the Nord 2 group on Telegram https://t.me/Oneplusnord2Gcam (I'm on a 8.3 or 8.4 version of Gcam it's great, slightly noisy but waaaay less artefacts and better overall quality than stock, especially when you zoom)
