Hello everyone
I'm trying to install Gcam port on my mido (Redmi Note 4) running LineageOS 15.1 but whenever I try to capture a picture from rear camera with HDR or HDR enhanced mode enabled it stops working, It crashes every time while processing HDR+ and also when I try to capture a pic in portrait mode with rear camera. And surprisingly it happens with rear camera only, and works just fine with front camera.
For more information I want to tell you that I already tried enabling HAL3 and Camera2API.
Please help me making it work. PLEASE.
I need gcam pixel 3 for oreo mido
still waiting
Google Camera 5.1 Port which fully working with Nokia 5 and maybe with Nokia 6 because it has the same hardware.
Recommended settings (everything I don't mention is default):
HDR+ options:
- Model: Nexus 6P or Nexus 5X
- Config camera HDR+: Pixel 2017 ZSL HDR+ or Nexus 5X ZSLB-S-G MOD Settings:
Front Camera (Which is a back cam, just the text is buggy):
- Back camera photo resolution: 8.0 megapixels Tuning back cam:
- Tuning master switch: ON
- Adjusting Noise Model: ON, and set every value to 0
- Noise Canceling Setting: OFF Back Camera (Which is a front cam, just the text is buggy):
- Do the same as with the back cam.Experimental Settings:
- Resampling: EnabledDeveloper Settings:
Enable only these options:
- camera.use_photos
- camera.op.nes
- camera:gcam_enabled
Download:
GCamera_Mod_v.3.4.14_R4X.apk
Credits:
- Arthur for the port (oganyan-arthur aka Артуp apks from 4PDA.ru)
- www.celsoazevedo.com for providing the APK
I don't see any 13 MP option
Sent from my Xperia XZ3 using XDA Labs
Make sure the resampling is enabled.
"Experimental Settings:
- Resampling: Enabled"
The image is postprocessed (interpolated to 13 mpx) check the taken photo size. Yes, interpolated but is still better than 8MPX.
Camera front
when taking a photo with the front camera it looks like blurry and ugly, even with the hdr + or without the. and the portrait mode looks fuzzy and purple or green
Thanks
This one is more snappier and more optimized than the previous GCam 5.1 i used
Slow motion doesn't work but I'm fine with that
Most of the fancy stuff like manual focus, HDR+, Portrait and Lens Blur does work
Edit: the Built-in camera app does have slow motion, so there's that

You're welcome.
It seems there isn't setting to change save location of the picture(or video).
It use internal memo, kinda need to save space.
Is there any method to change the save location ?
Works great. Thanks for the recommended settings. Much appreciated.
I got the latest gcam versions working on mix 3 so gonna share it here
Sanity:
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/GoogleCamera_6.2.030_stable_alt.apk
BSG:
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/MGC_6.2.030_RN7_V1plusplus_FINAL.apk
Will Attach Sample Images Later
The Sanity apk worked for me but BSG kept closing. Thanks very much!
Everything seems to be working without any issues - it has some cool camera modes not in the stock camera.
I will use this for the night sight because I hear it's better than MIUI's version.
But I'll keep MIUI camera for front facing pictures:
gcam front facing flash lights up screen rather than uses the torch at the front.
In gcam settings, front camera photo resolution maximum is 6.2 megapixels instead of 24MP.
gcam has digital zoom! This is good - stock doesn't have digital zoom.
Does anyone have any opinion on MIUI camera vs gcam for daytime pictures though (mix 3)? It's night time here so I can't compare yet.
Looks like gcam does not use the optical zoom (2x) like stock does. Only digital zoom available. So stock camera may be better here for far away shots.

Using the telephoto lens is different on GCam 6.2 version, it was easier on previous versions. IIRC, you have to go to settings (settings > advanced > on the bottom there is a "Switch to the auxiliary back camera" switch) every time you want to use the telephoto lens. A bit annoying but there's nothing we can do about that, I'm afraid.
Hey guys!
After searching a lot on the internet I've finally found a GCam port which is pretty much Stable.
Tested on:
Max Pro M1 6GB
V340 Oreo Firmware
Locked bootloader
What's working:
Portrait Mode (Front and Rear)
NO SHUTTER LAG! xD finally :laugh:
Video Stabilization
HDR+
Enhanced HDR+
Bugs
Front Flash does not light up.
Slow Motion video isn't working.
I know it's a very old Arnova build but believe me I experienced a shutter lag in every GCam except this.

Do thank the post if the GCam worked well for you :good:
I'm currently testing a Google Camera port on the ASUS ROG Phone 3. I am using GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.0_Wichaya_snapcam_V2.2 by Wichaya. Here are my observations so far with respect to compatibility:
id 0 = main camera 16 mp
id 1 = front camera 24 mp
id 2 = ultra wide camera 13 mp
id 3 = macro camera 5 mp
id 4 = main camera 64 mp raw
Observations:
All 4 lenses work, including the two rear auxiliary cameras (wide-angle and macro.) You have to go to Settings > Advanced > Auxiliary camera and enable them there.
64MP unbinned images can be captured, it's ID4. Aggressive denoising seems to remove a lot of detail. Play with the Luma denoise and Chroma denoise values in Settings > Advanced > Lib patcher.
HDR+ enhanced works with 64MP capture.
Max video recording is 4K60. 8K30 not available.
Slow motion crashes, so no 4K120 available.
Current issues:
No distortion correction for the wide-angle camera
Selfies are always 24MP, no pixel binning
I will get camera samples at a later date.
Thanks to Wichaya for their assistance!
GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.1_Wichaya v2.3
Based on Urnyx05's 7.3.018 v2.1. (Thanks Urnyx05)
- Optimize apk by uncompressed apk and clean up code (Thanks Arnova8G2)
- Added set auto exposure target frame rate range for viewfinder (works on some phone)

One thing that amaze me is a lot of high resolution stuff such as 64 mp, 8k video resolution and 4k slow motion are in id 4 instead of the usual id 0
The camera2 api is similar to Zenfone 6 and Rog Phone 2 but with separate ids for high resolution
Thanks Mishaal for testing :good:
How are the photos compared to the stock camera?
I would buy Asus ROG Phone 3, but the camera does not satisfy me 100%... so I'm much interested to GCAM "mod" Asus ROG Phone 3 results!
This one was captured by gcam urnyx modded for rog2 the xml configs also from rog2 , I'm using a normal lens with hdr+
Sorry I had to make another comment since my mobile data is so slow right now, same gcam same settings but this one is a night mode one.

I think the 60fps video recording is not 60. The video recording with stock camera is much much smoother. Can anybody confirm amd is there a solution?
Hey guys. Just checking in to see how the gcam is going for this device, is it a great improvement over the stock cam?
any working gcam ports??....mine force closing whenever i launched it luckily im not a camera enthusiast but having a working gcam port is assuring though....gonna have to wait few month more i assume
Gcam works good on rog
Using Posted GCam, and its definitely better than stock, but i do get issues with focus on GCam, it hunts. I expected the cam to be better on rog3, vs rog2, buts its not. ASUS needs to invest more time on its cams. They are pretty bad.
but then again.. this is a gaming phone. and they are investing more on the gaming features
Here are some pics I've taken:

How do you take a picture of a bird moving with 2 different cameras and the bird looks in the same exact position? Unless the picture is taken out of a book or magazine
In other more info see the other bird behind has moved, :laugh:

That bird is a cormorant. It stood there with its wings like that for a while. It does it to dry its wings. Or so I've read online.
Thanks for this app. GCam works faster, when I take pictures at 64 MP with Asus cam app it is pretty slow. But GCam pictures quality is lesser than Asus app.

Gcam quality is lesser? WTF? Dont use 64 mp, thats the magic in Gcam, the pixel binning. Unfortunately the cam on the rog3 is very bad, and not much will fix it.

The cam is not that bad. I had no bad shot with this phone, it sure is less good than the note 10 + of my wife but nothing wrong with the cam while using Asus cam app. Can't say that about GCam that is even after modding it, optimized to use with Pixel phone.
More samples
Here are some more samples from stock cam and gcam. The stock cam pics are the ones on the left and top.
