So we have been waiting for the camera api 2 to be released on the zuk z2 but there was no response till now finally @davidevinavil the AEX 5.0 dev has introduced the camera api 2.0 in the latest build of aex 5.0 All credit goes to him he is a really awesome dev and you guys should definitely check out the oreo build there are surprisingly stable for an alpha level build. I'm posting this because i really wanted to use the api2 and many people wanted it too so this is for those who dont follow the AEX 5.0 thread
Yeah davidevinavil did a great job congrats
Man.
Though many user can't use the camera app that is optimised for our chip it still is great to use the other version

FiX for MIUi 10 now!! ( xiaomi. eu Beta and global Beta Pie roms fix!!!!) (scroll to the end of post)
Update 23.12.2018. thanks to @dianluitao @EnesSastim and couple more people we have working GCam on MIUI 10 8.1
07.07.2019. *****UPDATE********
So for now cam2api is not buuged anymore on Pie roms (for now only beta) and here I will post how and files to go from 0 to full working GCam.
As usually you will need twrp and magisk or just magisk.
Flash in magisk file attached to enable Cam2api
Install recommended GCam (I am using it it doesn't mean it is the best one for you too)
Also there is file with preloaded GCam settings for easy use. How to load it? Well first open file explorer and make folder >>>GCam than make another inside of it >>>Configs than copy/paste Configs html file in it and not go and start GCam app, click couple of times on black area (around shutter button) option menu named :Choose confog pick the one you copy pasted in GCam folder and click Restore. Just to make sure close GCam clear from memory and open again. Settings is loaded and you are ready to use it.
Also thanks to @uvera we have this fix and thanks to all people involved in making GCam ports of html pre loaded settings for it.
Don't be twat, press that *****Thanks***** button below since I know you are all cheap m.... F.... and there will be 0 donations Cheers mates!
P. S. I have some troubles with attaching the files give me some time to work it out. Will update post during the day.
23.12.2018. Update - You will need china stable or miui.eu rom 10.2.3.0 for this to work ( I personal tested it on eu rom) all yopu need it root explorer, build prop editor and 2 files.
1) Download camera.sdm660.so and copy/paste it via root explorer into vendor/lib/hw/ and replace old file ( I used solid explorer to do so also you will need magisk since you need to give solid explorer root privileges ) (.so file is in zip so yes you need to extract it first than copy that file and replace it with old one).
2)go to build prop editor give it root privbileges and add this line : persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1 (persist.camera.HAL3.enabled and in value box add 1) save it and restart phone
3) after this you will need to flash front camera fix to make front camera working. fix and rest of the files are at the end of this post !
Once again thanks to @dianluitao @EnesSastim @WebDingo and @Savitar (webdingo and savit for front camera fix) and all people responsable for this fix. :highfive:
Hi, I just want to make guide - simple step by step tutorial that people can follow and install GCam on our Mi Note 3 - Jason device. EVERYTHING you do is your own responsibility and I am not to be blamed if something goes wrong while you do so.
1. You NEED a rooted phone, for now, this ONLY works on rooted phones.
2.You need TWRP since you need to flash magisk and camera2api from there. Link to magisk >>> https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
Thanks to @topjohnwu
3.Now when you flashed latest magisk you will need to do the same with camera2api (file will be at the end of this thread). Thanks to @uvera00
4.Now you can restart your device and install GCam apk from here >>>> https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/ I recommend Arnova's version 6 since it is the latest and it is working ok (it is not bugless) .
5.Now when you done all this start the camera and as you can see it is not working That is because you need to set it up correctly.
So correct (most stable ) settings are :
Advanced : Config camera HDR+ / Pixel 2017 ZSL HDR+
HDR+ parameters (you can play with this and decide which ones are best for you. I use Medium or Very High.
Disable front HDR+ / ON - THIS IS MUST HAVE
HDR+ image quality / Again this is to your own liking I use 97%
Well, this is basically it. Everything else is up to you to experiment with and share your best stable results. This setting I use every day and so far I didn't have any crashes. Also, a thing I forgot to mention in shooting mode you will see HDR+ icon up on the screen if you press it there is HDR+ enhanced mode and I do not recommend this since it is not working correctly with flash and it tends to crash app. I don't recommend it but it doesn't mean you cant use it
Share your best settings and some interesting pics! We are here to help each other.
GCam wouldn't be possible without Arnova, B-S-G, ivanich, scrubber, skulshady, cstark27, miniuser123, UriKill, Tolyan009, Charles_I, azevedo. This is their work and if you want to donate go to GCam donate link and donate to them. I am just here to make a bit simpler. Test GCam and have a nice day
Ok so there was some development for our device thanks to all GCam developers and @WebDingo for asking them to help us out. The new attacked zip is magisk module and it contains cam2api and front camera HDR fix for Mi Note 3. I tested it with couple of GCam versions and it works well. Flash it thry TWRP and enable (it should be enable by default ) in magisk. Also i there is now Arnova version on which manual focus works. The version is Arnova v7 test10 opt5-5t you can download it from official download page of Gcam ports i provided up in the thread. As always test and report
As you all know Gcam is not working on miui 10 builds. For now, we know "fix for it " i tried it on xiaomi.eu 10 stable build and it is working.
1. Download build pro editor from google play
2. Open build prop editor click on three dots in right up corner press + New - Name : persist.camera.HAL3.enabled and in Value field enter number 1 and click save.
3. in prop editor go to search and type persist.camera find this line - persist.camera.dxo=1 and delete it. Restart the phone. Now boot to twrp and flash camera fix for gcam and boot again.
4. Install Gcam you think will be good ( I tied it with OP6-1.2.1-Gcam and Gcam 5.1.018 by SerJo87)
The problem was (we think) during the broken blobs of OIS so by disabling it gcam works.
All of this wouldn't be possible without @dianlujitao @uvera and all other devs on MN3 telegram group. Special thanks to @rayser ( I don't know how are you signed up here buddy).
Findings so far:
Front camera has screen flash (when will MIUI camera implement this?)
HDR+ enhanced works correctly with flash in my case (MIUI EU 9.2.2.0)
HDR+ doesn't work correctly with flash (the flash is already off when the picture is taken)
HDR+ enhanced has greenish issue
60fps recording records 30fps (more like library issue from the base ROM)
Portrait mode doesn't work for front camera (lens blur works, though)
Are you using same settings as i mentioned above? What version of GCam ?
Video mode is very dark.....
I did intall difrently, because i dont know how to use magisk....but the result is the same.:angel:
Edit:
Forget it, video works normally..
You dont need magisk for GCam as an app. You need magisk to enable camera2api (which you did by fleshing it via TWRP) so you can just install/uninstall GCams apks normally. Also you can have more than one GCam installed on your device. I have currently 3 of them. V3.2 + v5 + v6.
What i did was wright the 2 lines with app Build.ini.
Did follow your sugestions for Gcam. Im at work without time to test....
Queston:
Why there isnt option for 13Mb in 16:9 mode? Only 9Mb....
You mean 13 megapixel and 9 megapixel ? Because 16:9 is cropped image and it is in 9mpx resolution.

Hi!
I'm on Xiaomi.EU 8.2.1 Rom .
When i activate the Camera2Api, Google Camera works, but i can not record 4K video with it, and the default Miui camera app also refuses the video recording in 4K.
I've tried a lot of camera apps, with same result. 1080p ok, but the 4K not at all.
What is the solution?
Another question:
It is possible somehow to achive 1080p with 60fps?
maybe with a modded media profiles.xml?
Thanks!
Good Questions...
Gonna try 4K too
P.S. NO problem on 4K both cameras...didnt see the sound.
is this quide for fully working google camera? or just somethings of it? like touch to focus, no crashing, hdr+? no greenish etc..
As I wrote, this is guide to set up GCam there are different versions with different bugs, in v6 manual focus inst working and hdr+ enhances sometimes crash when using with auto flash. There is version 3.2 where manual focus is working but low light images aren't that good. Also there is v5 where in my opinion are the best details. So you download different versions and try to see which one you prefer.

I tried many versions of GCam and stock camera since 8.2.1. is improved a lot. It makes similar photos (with HDR) to GCam.
But for me, best quality of photos is GCam V1,7. But sometimes it do not want to make photo on HDR+, only with enchanced.
So wich version of gcam should i install if i use all in auto with hdr on?
I'm on lineage
Try GCam 5v1.2 arnova or v6 arnova. But keep in mind that it depends a lot on settings of GCam. For GCam 5v1.2 use Nexus 6P and Pixel 2017 ZSL +

That's the first app + settings I've found with no bugs. Haven't deeply tested quality, but everything works.
Night shoots are black for me. It appears flash isnt helping. Same settings i used as in pictures.

GCam Arnova v6 is not working. It shows Black Screen only after configuring everything on Mi Note 3.

Doesnt work on my note 3, i just get black screen. Version V6 and i'm using miui eu 8.3.8

OK i fixed, just enabled "Disable front HDR+"
Can anyone give me the link to the latest working google camera mod for this device.
Hello,
Could someone give me a backup of the official Nubia Gallery application?
I recently installed a version of alternative ROM (MoKee 7.1.2) for my Z17 mini, I was able to also install the original camera application of Nubia that allows to use the portrait mode. All works fine, but I can't use the "Refocus" mode that allows to choose the depth of field (bokeh effect) after shooting.
PS : I've already enable the "refocus" option in Nubia Camera app settings but when I open a picture with Gapps Gallery app this feature is missing.
Thank's !!

Here, try this

Neovision gallery backup with Titanium backup
Thanks a lot suwardhana! I can install it on my smartphone but unfortunately when I launch the Gallery app I got a systematic crash.
I try to remove the native Gallery and replace it with your Neovison Gallery but without success. If you have any Idea... Thanks!

https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/ check the ones with 6.1
Delete default camera app via system app remover (root required).
Then install Gcam mod 6.1 test build 2, it's working perfectly.
