I was wondering if the procedure described in this guide can be used to enable camera 2 API on Redmi Note 4 without installing a custom recovery.
We can install Magisk without installing a custom recovery as shown in that guide so i was wondering if we can enable camera 2 API through adb shell as shown in the Mi A1 subforum. We could just install Magisk, enable the API through ADB shell and remove Magisk afterwards. There shouldn't be any problems with OTA updates with this procedure as long the API remains enabled after updates and doesn't get overwritten.
Of course we don't have to lock the bootloader again.
I tried and it worked, i installed Magisk and enabled Camera 2 API with this method and i can use Google Camera (the scrubber version with API 24).
I'm waiting for first OTA to see if the settings survive the update or get overwritten.

Stock camera works fine for me, with or without HDR.
I'm on last official global beta rom if that matters (8.4.19).
P.s. Google camera is so much better.

Yes it does.
I tried updating and it survived OTA update, so it totally works.

Yes he can be locked again, but you can leave it unlocked if you want since it doesn't create any problem with OTA updates.
Remember that this method is permanent only if you don't factory reset your phone.

Ok gonna unlock then relock again soon
By the way what firmware arr you using
I tried this method and it worked. The problem is my sensor is omnivision and gcam has pink tint on rear camera. I dunno if there is a way to fix it while keeping system untouched or intact

I'm on a totally stock MIUI Global Beta 8.4.26.
I can't help you with GCam because i have only used the scrubber 24 version which is working fine for me because i have a Samsung sensor, as far as i know the fix for the pink tint needs flashing a file through TWRP recovery so i don't think it can be done with stock firmware.

Why on Earth would Google remove ability for night mode apps to work? This is a major bummer. I'd revert back to 7.0 but I don't feel like having to wipe my phone. The bootloader unlock and android pay sucks as well. I used AP quite often.... But I'm in no rush to lose my data by relocking.
I'm having a different problem, I used the night mode enabler on 7.0, I disabled it and later joined the android beta program and got 7.1.1 beta and now it's reenabled and I have no way to turn it off...
Apparently nite mode, I forget what they're calling it now, is an exclusive feature on the pixel. This is where I get annoyed. I understand new features being exclusive, but this is something that worked, and was then taken away.
Where are you guys finding 7.1?!

smooth update: just removed the -w from flash-all script, booted once, went back to TWRP to flash latest Flash Kernel + Magisk.
Fails safety net for me no more Google pay
1. Can I flash this (removing -w) over july 8.1.0 and keep all my apps and settings?
2. Is it already good enough as a daily driver?

Thanks! One more noobish question. Can I revert to a full TWRP backup (including vendor etc) if for some reason I want to revert back to stock 8.1?

You will need to perform a full backup, transfer the twrp folder to PC, flash vendor image, then flash twrp,then transfer over backup to restore.
After two cycles from 100-0. With latest ElementalX kernel and Helix engine.

have you tried to install a custome kernel? if i remember right, it should be enough to install a kernel for that..
I flashed it and in my enthousiasm forgot to remove the -w so it became a clean install...
DP4 is already a major upgrade over 8.1.0 with lots of new features. The portrait mode in the new camera app is great and also no intermittent wifi drops anymore.
Indeed its good enough as a daily driver so I'm staying on it now.
Xposed and v4a working?

Mine too, but the "fix" is to remove your SIM card. Without it, your phone won't go into the bootloop. No need to go for the factory reset just yet...

Same here, nothing changed. This is the patch just for security from Google. I think they will fix all this bugs only with Android Pie update, just not to make a double work )

You can manually enable it again if it didn't carry on from oreo.

If you had enabled camera2api in pro then it'll become enabled in pie too. Otherwise you can the fast boot method provided for non root Oreo users in XDA

I updated my NP1 to NOS 1.1.7( with fix) and today to 1.5 beta. My device is not rooted with locked bootloader and still is not google certified and fails CTS. Any ideas on how to fix this?
I tried the default Universal SafetyNet Fix and it didn't work, I also tried using a custom fingerprint but it would break my fingerprint scanner, I ended up using a modded version of the fix it CTS is passing for me.

I'm afraid you can't do anything while locked, we were warned that bank apps would break.
