Best alternative Camera App - Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers

I just got my new Mi A1 and i found that the stock camera app is very good in good light conditions, although in poor light i got only blurred photos.. I tried to install the google camera (stock apk and also the hdr+ mod) but it always freeze and stop when i launch it.. I don't have root, so camera2 api aren't activated (and the hdr+ don't work without that), but i thought i could have used the google camera as a normal camera app just to try it.. are there any good camera alternatives that i can try or should i root to improve photo quality in low light?

Without rooting i don't think you can improve camera quality much

Maybe you can try open camera and see if it helps much.

I tried most camera apps out there and the best option is root, enable EIS/Camera2 in the build prop and ported Google cam with HDR+.
Rooting is easy enough on the A1, but if you don't want to do that try the latest HTC camera on apkmirror. Only thing not working on that camera is the HDR mode; it crashes if you turn it on. It will give you better photos indoors with normal lighting conditions. Low light/night will still be quite blurry.

Thanks a lot, i'll try the opencamera and the htc one, cause i decided to wait until andorid oreo for root.. ? anyway, any idea why the google camera apk (from apkmirror) doesn't work?

Because you need to enable Camera2 API in the build.prop. Otherwise it won't work.
You can install an old version of the Google cam like v2.7 but then you don't have HDR+. Other than that it works fine, though.

Try AZ camera

Well this is just my view but after trying open camera,
Snapdragon camera, the default camera hht mode, and bacon camera. I got the best results for night shots using the bacon camera manual mode and selecting the Sutter speed set to the lowest of 1/8 but keep in mind you need to keep your hands very steady. I used my selfie stick as a stand it helped me keep steady.

Because google doesn't support dual camera.

If I root my device will I get Google upgrade via OTA?

I use this port by B-S-G (MGCB_7.0H_C2API_Min_v.1.4.apk):

And one month later you'll ask why OTA update fails to apply.. Just wondering, why do you prefer direct modification of system files instead of systemless Magisk? It really puzzles me why some people do and suggest this without mentioning the drawbacks.

If u do it without touching system partition, yes. Can be done with Magisk and the module in the Mi A1 development section.

Front camera doesn't work, neither does access to photo galley. Also photo taken was quite small file size, open camera seems better. This was with Jan 18 updated one plus camera app

Try Bacon Camera (CameraApi2 Free)
Check out the bacon camera from play store, you don't require root and it is specifically made for non supported CameraApi2 Phones,
It has a ton of manual settings.
Hope it helps

i use this port:
"scrubber_GCam_5.1.018_25 (scrubber, 2018-01-09, no config needed, changelog)"
i am new user, so i can't post links. Just google it and search for celsoazevedo.com.
The you can find almost all ports that were mentioned here (requires root)

CM camera app is stable now, although its output leaves a bit to be desired. The only real bug with it now is low volume when recording video. There is a ported version of the ASUS camera app that gives OK results for photos, but video is not working on that.
I am using this apk. thanks dude!

As far as I can tell, identical to the CM AOSP camera app with just the addition of lens blur function (which kind of works, unlike the depth of field mode on the ported ASUS camera app, which crashes on mine). Both the stock and Google apps produce very grainy results though. The ported ASUS app is better.

I am using it in Cyanogen, someone ported it to work (you can't just download it from the playstore, you need a ported version). If you search the Cyanogen thread on the Zenfone 2 Original Android Development sub-page, you can find the link for it. They got the flash working, and most of the modes (super res, manual etc) seem to function. But as I said, video recording is broken, and the depth of field mode also crashed for me.

Google Camera and HDR+

I know some devs have succesfully ported pixel camera for nexus devices to allow HDR+. Is it possible to do the same for the LGV20 so that we can also expirience that HDR+ software?

So this question really irked me, in a good way of course. Whilst studying for my history exam, I was thinking that HDR+ is essentially software based. The Pixel's camera's specs are kinda mediocre aside from the 1.55um sensor—only f2.0 aperture and no OIS; the best part about the camera is the software to back it all up. So, I looked around to see if you could potentially port the camera app itself, which might have the correct algorithm for HDR+. I came across a dev who made the app Camera NX, which in essence is a port.
So here is a brief overview of the app.
And here he explains how the HDR+ has zero shutter lag.
What really got my attention is the following quote:
This mod is just an update to Chow's Camera NX app, which itself is a port of the Pixel's stock camera app and libraries. What that all boils down to is that you don't even need to be rooted to get Zero Shutter Lag with HDR+ mode right now.

Anyways, since I do not own an LG V20 (I hope to soon, once my Note 4 contract expires), you'll have to do most of the testing and report back, if that's alright. Nonetheless, I hope this was helpful!
Thanks for the reply. I did come across that apk and installed it. It does work as a camera but unfortunatly there is no HDR+ present. There is exposure setting and whitebalance toggles. The other problem i notice is that the slow motion seems worse quality then what is found on the stock app. By all means i am no expert bit if any one else has feedback or have tested this themselves and see improovements or HDR+ present let us all know.
Unfortunately I haven't found Google Camera to work on the V20;it works good on the note 5 though...weird. Stinks because there is no option to make photo-spheres with the V20 .
scrap that. I just downloaded the latest from xda...no problems!

actually the hexagon dsp on the snapdragon 820/821 does the heavy lifting for hdr+ which works different between the pixels and the 5x/6p. the latter ones only can do software hdr+. there was an interesting post on reddit about this. currently also searching for a modified google camera app as camera nx is only modified for the nexus phones. the lg g5 and v20 are very much capable of what the pixel does.
It probably isn't as simple as that. But have you tried changing the build.prop to identify the phone as a pixel?
I can't try myself as I don't have root access.

Except Google camera app is not available in the store with stock LG V20 software.
Does anyone know if it's possible to use the pixel camera mod with the wide angle lens? I'm not sure how you would put the ability to switch from regular to wide in the app but is there any way to have it default to the wide angle lens instead of the regular one?

There are reports of the app using the wide lens and for others it uses the regular narrow one. For me on my h918 it uses the regular narrow lens. There is no button for switching like on the stock LG camera so as of right now I'm not aware of any way to switch between them.
I've found nice GCam mode suitable for V20

Using Google Camera 4.2.035.141213305 on Oxygen OS 4.0(N) OTA

I was hoping for improved camera software with the new Oxygen OS 4.0(N) OTA release. To my chagrin there seemed to be no improvements made, so as an alternative I downloaded and installed Google Camera 4.2.035.141213305 (arm64 version for Android 7.1+)
Get it by clicking on the link below:
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...amera-4-2-035-141213305-android-apk-download/
The Google camera app AI appears to be better at determining optimal settings on the fly. The in app photo sphere, panorama, and lens blur features are nice additions too.
I found that if you have the time to make HQ, HDR, and manual mode adjustments, you can still get better pictures with the stock Oneplus version 1.4.0 camera app than the Google Camera app. but most users simply want to point and shoot.
When I give my 3T to a novice to take a picture, or when I need to to take a quick picture in a pinch, I find the Google Camera app takes better photos.
The app works beautifully, aside from the fact I can't get it to open using the button shortcuts after setting it as the default camera app.
Download the Google Camera 4.2.035.141213305 (arm64 version for Android 7.1+) app, and tell me what you think.
If you encounter button launch problem too, let me know, or come up with a solution.
When I try to install on my OP3T with OS 4.0 I get an error stating there was a problem parsing package. Installed Google Camera 4.1 without issue though.

There aren't ROMs based on Nougat with API2 support, if you use API2 for camera video recording can't work anymore.

Experienced the instant FC and editing build.prop fixed that issue. Next issue is recording with back camera makes the app FC. Front facing camera works fine for recording though. When using any other camera app the reverse is true, front camera FC's and back camera works.

Camera crashes for video recording on mine too. Additionally, I can't capture panorama or 360 photos with hal3 enabled. Disabling it allows me to capture 360 photo with street view, but gcam crashes.

32bit Gcam Mod

For those on stock ROM, there is a modded Gcam that works on 32bit. This Gcam does not have all features, only HDR+ on rear Camera, front HDR is borked so needs disabling in the settings if front camera is used. You also need camera2 api support by adding this to your build.prop, "persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1".
The camera was made for Nougat but works on stock Oreo also.

No, as I said in OP, only HDR+ on main camera. Most features definitely need 64bit rom.
I have been informed that by changing the default black level for front camera to 16, HDR+ works. I can confirm this is true. Thanks to XDA user capedukewuhaha for pointing that out.
Also I can confirm that this 32bit mod actually works better than all the 64bit GCams I have tried on custom ROMs. I am on linage now and this camera works best.
for me, this port doesn't work... i am on moto z2 play stock oreo 8.0 October update

There is hdr+ and less image processing. Stock camera is better for video, I use both cameras when on stock. If the extra hdr is not important I'd stick with stock since you can use Snapseed to get a similar hdr+ effect on photos. I have something else in testing that reduces the over image processing of stock camera which I will post if it works on Z2P(originally it is for Moto G5 plus, both same hardware almost).

What the back camera would record of video - in Resolution & quality - Enable video stabilization(switch off).
With these settings works all but slow motion.

It was only available on the linked site, I don't use this camera so don't have it. I use Resurrection Remix which uses 64bit camera.

MGC_3.2.045_FINAL_3.1.apk
Anyway, this app is very buggy, if u want to take good shots with it set model to Nexus 6p and auto exposure correction to *2 or Min.ISO.
Remember API2 must be enabled (on stock rom).
But, you won't get amazing pictures with this apk (our sensor, Sony IMX362, is capable of a lot more in terms of quality), HDR+ Algorithm is not very good.
I fixed focus of a bunch of gcams for our device, will post here later maybe (this subforum is dead). You will need 64 bit OS.
