I have used many ROMs based on Lineage OS here.
Testing camera performance especially front camera for selfie.
MIUI camera delivers exceptionally amazing selfies.
I have tested Open Camera on MIUI and the selfie quality went bad, selfies became dull as same as they are in Lineage cameras.
This means the App is the key to better selfies.
If its possible to Port that app, Many users on internet willing to donate for the same.
Also this will improve overall device feel and experience on LineageOS.
If this thread becomes capable to attract at least one developer who shows interest in this we will be lucky.
Participate with your ideas and try to attract Developers here.If you are willing to Donate for this project kindly do mention.
I've seen this happen on every Xiaomi phone I've owned. On all of them there's a thread of people really wanting a port of the MIUI camera, but on none of them is it possible. The MIUI camera is part of the MIUI framework and won't work without it. So unless someone makes a Magisk module of the MIUI framework that plays nicely with AOSP and ports the camera it won't be possible
Guys please participate in this thread.
Participation is only key to get Dev attention.

I just found this MIUI5 port that works on Marshmallow (I don't know if works in Nougat): (Sharing)(APP) MIUICamera App
Maybe this could help to find a way to port the newer versions.

Not useful, people who used it are saying it's working as a normal camera app only.
And I tried, not working in my phone.

I think that is just the app, it doesn't include the low level firmware optimisations. It doesn't work on the MI5,and it's based on MIUI5 which is 4years old. The fact that we haven't made progress post that is testiment to how difficult it is to port the camera firmware. Atm the only solution is dual bootiing, and using a MIUI based ROM if you go out to take pictures (like on a holiday). It's ****ty, but it's what we're stuck with. Google Camera works OK on Lineage for quick snaps anyway.
Wait for next update of the snap camera. I am sure it will rock
I have realized that MIUI has really developed its camera app over the time, even if some other camera app are launched. They will not catchup with this app. Hence if we have a scope to use this existing piece of work we must port it rather than focusing on other means.
I just hope some developer has seen this thread and considering to take on this project.
will a camera port be ever available?
I really like the MIUI camera because the focus peaking option, who else ?
guys I have talked to developers, they are saying that it's not possible to port this camera.
And if it was possible, someone in XDA community would have already ported it like these is Google camera.
So if you want great photos, be on MIUI.
Guys, Sad news is Developers have denied to make any such port.
They say MIUI camera has something to do with Miui framework also this camera is Closed Source.
Sadly in summary If you want to use your phone for camera stay on MIUI only.
Use raw shooting for max quality for both AOSP and MIUI. As it pulls raw data without any touch you can get superrior quality compared to MIUI camera app.

I revert back to MIUI just because of camera!
Hey friend..!!
I encountered one bug today. Suddenly my front camera result become very poor. I can't fix it. I installed RR-5.8.5,5.8.4,5.7.4 final and also lineage OS 14.1 latest build and tested front camera. but couldn't fix it. Before today morning , my selfie camera work fine in all the roms I mentioned above. why could it happen? how can i fix it.??
the stock firmware has best result for camera, the picture quality is super great
for those who havent tried the pixel camera, that might be.
If you use BSG build, you will understand what I mean when you selected Pixel 2 or Pixel 2 XL model from the B-S-G settings. Could anyone enlighten me with this situation? I find it so weird that the front camera can do HDR+, but the back camera is left behind.
Can anybody contact B-S-G to help us have, at least, decent camera experience on AOSP? His build are the only one I see the potential to a working Gcam in Axon 7.

It's from the lack of Camera2 API. Though I don't know why the front camera works, i guess because camera2 isnt really needed for HDR front camera

Hi. Which build works best for you guys? I'm in Resurrection Remix nougat and its a bit frustrating with the all the builds i tried is laggy. Thx in advance
We have to contact Arnova8G2, someone said he'd be able to help with this. I sent him a PM but he didn't answer
The best course of action would be to make a bounty though.
I have recently discovered this camera with the help of the xda community and find it to be a great tool, https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-arnova8G2/#apk290 . I am trying to work through issues with the software but am having a couple of issues. I can't seem to find an xda topic post about the camera software where I can ask questions. Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks for any help.

I am having issues with the Flash. If I shoot in almost no light when I press the shutter button the flash will fire, it will stay on momentarily and then the app will crash (Camera has Stopped, Open app again). If I leave the flash disabled there are no problems. Also... In complete darkness, if I tap the screen to focus on a particular point the flash should turn on to assist the focus. This just eliminates the ability for me to take 'better' night shots.
Other than that this camera is spectacular. The pictures it is able to produce through the software-hardware combination are really impressive. I also like the fact that that it brings Portrait and Lens Blurr to the camera. Best camera app I have used to date.

I took a look briefly at Camera NX and it seems that Arnova's has a lot more options to fine-tune under Advanced. In the end, it is all about the pictures. Give it a try and post back.
Hi, after pixel experience my front cam isn't working the phone keeps on lagging and mic dosent record well during video recording plus video stability show mo and night vision not working well. Although the Rom was awesome i appreciate all your afforts ? thanks team XDA
Sounds like you're using Gcam 6.x. Did it work well before PE update? Btw ROM related questions should be asked in its respective thread.
