Am I the only one who is getting worst images, cannot focus or even getting blurry photos? Everywhere, from instagram to stock camera, even I tried gcam, still blurry photos. I'm on april build. I need to restart every time when I want to take a pic, it works for awhile and then again goes to blur.
I have yet to install that april update
- Did you root ?
- Had magisk installed ?
- Enabled Camera2 API persistant ?
if yes then by magisk or adb shell terminal / property files ?
Nope.
Never rooted, Enabled Camera2 api using rootless method and no! Never tried magisk on this device.
Have you tried reflashing the ROM?
And then try clicking with and without Magisk and other mods and cameras?

Me too since january update to Pie. It's a common bug since Pie update. i'm on stock , no root nor bootloader unlock. That's a pity, camera is not usable since January, cannot autofocus nor manual focus . Only camera 2x seem not to be affected. (already tried factory reset) This topic is popular on the web , but xiaomi seem not to listen us. So sad , didnt want to buy a new phone. I was really satisfied with mi A1 since 2017.

Its okay if you use gcam as you mentioned, but I dont know why it does in stock cam or instagram. Because when using stock ROM, in my case you can't take full res photos with gcam, u need to take 16:9 photos as there works autofocus.
So we have someone replying 1 year later that he got same issue... last year was post Oreo, now we are post Pie, there has been 1 update per month.... not sure all this is related?
Anniversary bug. Good to see Xiaomi keeps dates sacred
Just used oreo, mi a1 on pie is trash, oreo has no issues and you don't need Android 9 anyway

didn't feel the need of custom rom since this bug. which one you advice ?
ps : i know its a dumb question , but i'm not modding since two years (i was on nexus 5 and it was easier ). i have unlocked bootloader now . what's next ? Can't find an easy guide to flash twrp .
Tbh, I've noticed it too. I'm on PE CAF and after flashing April modem patch, the camera won't focus on touch. I'm lost.

I tried using the stock oreo rom after the pie update, but kept facing this issue- https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/help/secondary-sim-issues-downgrading-stock-t3911288
Did you face the same issue?
Hi,
I read a lot in this forum and in other sites about the possibility to enable Camera2API on our fantastic MINote3 phone but, at the end, I don't understand if is possible to enable che Camera2API WITHOUT root the device. Can someone give me a final answer about this question ?
PS
If the answere is "yes, is possible without root", then other questions are:
is ok this method https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/tool-google-camera-root-magisk-enable-t3747585/page10 (see post 98) or is only ok for MI A1 ? Are there other methods ?

If you can install TWRP you can enable it without rooting your system, as TWRP has root priveliges while it is running.
Here you can find a zip file to flash in TWRP to enable it.
I have used it.

Yes, I have done it myself on Mi Note 3 running the latest Xiaomi.eu weekly 8.4.26.
I have also done it on Mi Max Prime, Mi Mix, and Mi Note 2.
If you had read the whole thread you would have seen my posts.

Thank you soo much for all your informations.
Only one question: is necessary to flash the twrp on the device or is enough to load the twrp via the command "fastboot boot twrp.img" ?

It "should" work to only boot into TWRP without flashing it.
That is if you do not want to install TWRP, just use it once.
The next time you reboot, your new TWRP will be gone again.
I have not tried this myself.
I will try the procedure where I only boot twrp (without flash it) then will try to enable camera2api parameters on built.prop and also change permission of this file (with su permission).
I will update this thread with a feedback about the operation
Hi,
finally I enable Camera2API on Mi Note 3 (with last official global rom) WITHOUT root the device. These are my tasks:
- unlock the bootloader (with MI official utility) and lost all my data
- flash TWRP Red Wolf then run it and, to give the right access to the partitions, I wipe and format my device from the TWRP menu and reboot the device
- Then, from TWRP, I install "HZQ_MIUI_Camera_Mod_CAMERA2_API_170824.zip"
Thanks Cobben for the good informations
PS
Now I use GCam5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.2.apk and run very well. The quality of the night shoots is better a lot respect xiaomi default camera
I add that with gcam the videos are better that xiaomi cam:
- less nois
- better color
- much details
Then, at the end, gcam become the main camera app on my device (and I will use xiaomi cam only for boken effect or camera zoom)

Hi, I installed the Xiaomi.eu rom and installed also the Google camera (v.7.9.4 - everything is working correctly even the Slow motion). I can say that the Miui camera is on par with Google camera or a level down. The Miui camera uses the algorithm in the open-source Gcam app. You can try the Xiaomi.eu rom which is based on China rom - it is great.
In my case instead I use the last global 9.5.3.0 and gcam is the best
Mi 6x and MI A2 have same hardware but when we flash mi 6x MIUI rom to Mi A2 camera does not works properly(Enhance low light Option makes it stop ) But the camera modules are identical , basically I am talking about the global variant . Here is the twist xiaomi implemented same camera module but they set some hidden code number in the hardware module so that these module can be matched with our IMEI and The image processing system can understand that it is Mi 6x or mi A2 !! The idea is not quite enough to stop us !!!! WTF is the need of this , It took 10 days to figure it out .
So every thing is already fixed in every miui rom nothing to patch or replace.We can easily bypass or fool the image processing system.
Mi 6X's Code name is "wayne" we can change it "whyred" it is the code name of redmi note 5.
What we need
- Root
- A root file manager[ Xplore, Ex ]
- A working Brain.
steps
-Go to "System/etc/device_features"
-Rename "wayne.xml" to "whyred.xml"
-Now Open System/build.prop
-Now find out the line "ro.product.device=wayne"
-Change it to "ro.product.device=whyred"
-Now make a reboot
Yes you got a fully working camera!!!

With camera it says "Cant connect to camera".

Any solution to the Indian variant?

Hello,
I converted to 6X from A2. On MIUI 9, the camera worked, I never tried MIUI 10. Is the problem only with MIUI 10? I have global, 4/64 variant.
Thanks.

How to Root A2 Converted to Mi6X Wayne (MIUI10) ?
hello,
I want ROOT my xiaomi facilitate files and tutorials this xiaomi a1 Thank you so much guys
ROOT MODEL XIOAMI RED MDG2
I don't know what the "red mdg2" thing means, but as long as it doesn't change anything you could just use this or this guide, or mine which I tried to explain as much as possible in it, so you are not left confused, but of course this ends up making the guide longer. Also my guide shows how to add a custom rom to your device, which the other guides don't.
Hi awesome XDA Devs and fellow Redmi K20 / Mi 9T users, hope you & your family are doing well. I need help, I own a Redmi K20 (davinci) - Indian device. I had installed Pixel Experience rom, which I didn't like and wanted to roll back to stock rom. But without reading the guide to flash fastboot rom, I flashed the back up I had taken via TWRP. Apparently, my phone was bricked and I had to enter EDL mode via CMD and flash the stock rom which showed some error, but the phone booted to stock rom. Everything is working fine, even the touch-fingerprint sensor is working. All the other sensors aren't, also, native camera's rear video recording has stopped working, it just freezes. However, I use gCam PX by cStark which records the video without any issue. I tried a lot of things from a lot of XDA posts & guides, but to no avail. I took my device to the official service centre (Mumbai), they couldn't fix the sensors' issue.
