MiA1 developers to create GCAM but need to portrait mode in rear camera it's not work after installation without root a phone.overall front camera is work to fine
Portrait mode in default camera app of mi a1 uses dual lens system to generate bokeh by focussing on the subject and blurs the background...
Whereas GCAMMOD uses various algorithms in the software to detect the subject and blurs out the other stuff as background...
Which results in ALMOST similar effects when you take portraits for human subjects via rear camera from both applications...
But the difference is seen when you try to click portraits for non human subjects... Xiaomi app does its job well in that case but GCAMMOD fails to detect the non human subject because algorithms dont seem to help much in that case and our phone doesn't possess pixel hardware so it's a fail

I also enabled EIS and camera2 API without root method. Front camera portrait works but I am also unable to use EIS on GCam

It looks like we have full support of camera 2 api.
try snap camera from the store it have a option to enable..used the app if I was on aosp rom with the m8
Good to see
I forget where, but this was actually confirmed a looooooong time ago (well... long in tech time. Couple of weeks ago though).
I thought that since Samsung doesn't offer shutter speed control in pro mode that they didn't enable the full camera 2 api.

Hi,
According to the person who wrote this article, it seems that the camera2 api is not fully supported at the moment :
http://spectrastudy.com/camera2-api-on-mwc-2015-devices/
The manual camera checks would then bit too enthusiastic if this is true.
Can anyone who has manual camera installed try to take a picture in RAW and post the DNG file here?
I couldn't find any S6 DNG file on the web; it would be great if someone could confirm whether it is really possible to shoot in RAW with the S6.
With a Nexus 5, the 3 following apps can shoot in RAW :
- a better camera (there is a free version with limited number of shots in case)
- camera fv-5 (paid app)
- manual camera (paid app)

It does, but due to driver limitations, the longest shutter you can choose in Manual Camera app is 1/10. The longest shutter the S6 and edge is allowed to use (when ISO is manually set in the stock camera app) is 1/7. And when Manual Camera opens, WB is all green, so you need to long press WB to make it normal. There is now RAW support wither.
Right now the best camera SW for the S6 and edge is the stock, which is extremely fast to open, very quick to focus and snap, and offers a wide variety of options including manual settings, without shutter control. The latter is a pity, but without long exposures, you can just indirectly control it via ISO, either way, you are maxed out at 1/7. On the bright side... the lens is very bright, offering dramatically better lit details at the same SP and ISO than the S5, Note 4 or One M9, and it makes it a solid snapper indoors. Overall camera2 API is a mixed bag at it's current state and I hope full manual control comes soon with long shutter options.
Not sure this is because of camera 2 API or not, but you guys notice you can now separate auto focus from exposure point in pro mode? You can press and hold to lock the focus point, while shifting the exposure point to elsewhere on the screen. Makes it much better while shooting in situations where background and foreground are in vastly different exposure brackets.

I Installed "Manual camera" app (compatibility app said that it would work) but it doesn't work.
"Manual camera" interface appears, turns green and freezes, and phone either reboots or app
just shuts down. Camera gets a little warm too.
Was hoping to get DNG files from S6, but doesn't look good.
Very disappointed about this.
Uninstalled app and was refunded.
Thanks for the feedback!
I tried the Manual Camera app as well and it all appeared to be working for me, until I attempted to save a RAW image. This crashed my camera and required a full reboot to resolve.

I don't think there's RAW support for any non-Nexus phone (maybe one of the Chinese ones, but not from the major OEMs).
Also, doesn't the shutter top out at 1/10 or 1/7?
Yeah when putting it into raw and gpeg you will get a crash we have to wait for Samsung to do an update . I have a feeling that the ois is the reason samsung cannot alow shutter speed variation as even dslr cameras don't use image stabilization when it's on long exposure and as ois cannot be switched of manually then this will be a problem .
Hello guys) How to enable Camera2 API?) Custom ROMs (MIUI, CM, etc)
1) Root!
2) Open build.prop, make string 'persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1' , save, reboot.
3) Check manual features by Manual Camera Compability utility.
4) Install FV-5, Manual Camera etc and enjoy by manual exposure,focus etc)
It's working on my xiaomi.eu latest MIUI7 and Mookee ROMs)
p.s. I have Snapdragon version, pls test on the MTK who have this devices.
Thanx to Nevio (4pda.ru) )))
BUG! Stock camera in MIUI7 crashed with this feature. MIUI8 is normal.
Tested with Krexus rom and working!
It's gooood)

I tried this feature on the Manual camera and AZ camera - 0.6s maximum shutter speed. And picture have a lag.
BUG found
BUG found - stock MIUI7 camera will not work with this ftr. Mi8 is normal)

Ok, thank you!
I enabled camera 2 api and I am experiencing a crazy battery drain with mokee ROM. Is it normal? The battery drops 10 % in a matter of 10min and the phone gets really hot
How many of the manual settings stated in the manual camera compatibility app are supported after enabling camera2 api?

But RAW pictures are buggy on our phone, atleast on my phone
Edit: I had 3 reboots within a short time while opening camera apps since I've edited the build.prop. I'm on official RR, but the camera2 features are working fine (except raw), thanks for sharing!

Camera fv-5, snap cam (from play store), open camera and a lot others, they have to support camera2 api. On some camera apps you have to enable it manually in the settings. Then you can control shutter speed and some other things. I've attached also a picture, on the left side the shutter speed is short and on the right side the shutter speed is a lot longer. So for "normal" pictures you won't need manual controls, but in some cases it can be useful.

Can u plz show the ss of build prop after the edit? And the settings in any camera app?
Thanks for the guide.....this has solve the problem of reboot while using third party camera apps......google camera is also working without any problem
At least. MANY DIGITAL COOKIES TO THE OP. This was a thing that I was asking before even buying the phone. Many thanks to the OP.
Hmm I am using Snap Camera with camera2 API. Best thing) But it's need to activate camera2 in the Snap Camera settings (menu--"other"tab--go down and check Camera2 API string). Nice manual focus and manual settings in the HDR mode) Snap camera may a RAW format. There opens in built-in viewer and (who installed) can be pen into Snapseed editor.
Example of the photo in HDR mode with manual settings) Sorry for my curved hands and academical English)))
My curved hands cannot make good man ual photos yet)) Who knows Russian - you can check 4pda.ru forum--Redmi Note 3 Pro Camera branch. http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=750102&st=860 Many people tested this hint and VEEEEERY pleasured)))
So I am on stock EUI and decided to enable camera2 api by editing build prop. After rebooting, I noticed most of the features are limited.
4K video is disabled.
SLR (or portrait mode) is not working.
Some apps that uses camera2 api malfunctions.
GCam cannot connect to camera and then FC.
Manual Camera can't display realtime camera, and most probably can't take photos as well, tho the parameter readings suggests camera2 api is enabled as well as others (RAW, MANUALS).
Are these fixable?

You can't use HAL3 in EUI. If you want to use HAL3 , then flash Pie roms. But Stock cam will not work.
?
I have been using Asus zenfone max pro m1 6gb with official pie .53 I tried lot of gcam version from different developers .
and I noticed , after taking some shots using HDR+ enhanced mode camera portrait mode ,HDR+ enhanced mode and night mode are not working or the shutter goes blind also night mode view finder goes black .this fixed by a device restart fixes and it not solving by cache clear and data clear of cam app data .
I have tried almost all developers Gcams
the_dise
bulkin043/innocent parrot
blackrider
BSG
arnova8
but all have this issue with HDR+ enhanced
So people those who are using Gcam without these issues comment your Gcam link.
or test it in your device gcam mods has this issues or no issues at all .
EDIT: I hope this might be the issue if everyone gets the same issue
Edit 2; found a. Temporary fix
Temporary fix
Update 1: it's happening due to DSP processing, use arnova cam with DSP or hex process off
Sabre is a merge method created by Google that improves photo quality on some modes. Some call it "super resolution" because of the sharpness/detail improvements. It's used by Google for Night Sight, but some GCam mods also use it for zoomed photos and HDR+ Enhanced. Works with the RAW10 format (other RAW formats may result in black photos).
Sometimes Sabre isn't supported by all cameras and Google Camera will crash after taking a picture. In this case, the only solution is to disable Sabre (only available on some mods) and restart the app.
Try this
Replying from Max Pro M1 6gb
It is old version I am using latest 6.1 ..
After trying some APK I found out a arnova version which has the sabre switch .. so testing with the option off
Hi all,
Recently I bought a zhiyun smooth 4 gimbal and that the app of the gimbal does not have permission to use all the lenses. The gimbal is compatible with Filmic Pro, but neither this app can use other lenses than the main one. It is possible to let third party apps use all the lenses of the phone?
Another possibility is to use the gimbal with MIUI camera app. Somebody knows if it is possible to use the buttons on the gimbal with the MIUI camera app? I tried to connect the gimbal manually via Bluetooth but with no luck.
i think the problem is the camera API. i posted this tread a while ago:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-9t/help/fix-camera2-api-to-cameras-camera-apps-t4078935
about the same problem, third party camera apps only see main camera, no wide or tele. because the phone tell the apps it has only one back camera.
only "special" apps circumvent this limitations, like the stock camera app or gcam
maybe a custom rom can shows all cameras properly.

Thank you for your reply. Maybe I will try a custom rom later. But for now I observed that with Filmic Pro the recorded videos are noisy with 24 fps (with higher fps is even worse) than that I observed with the stock camera app. This happens mostly inside where the lighting conditions are not perfect, but still I don't understand from where comes the difference.
Because of this issue, now I'm more interested in using the gimbal with the sock camera app. Even if I can use just the record button on the gimbal is better than to have noisy videos and pictures. But for the moment I could not find anything regarding this.
