Will It Be possibile to use Google Camera and his mighty HDR+ with our Tele camera (2x optical zoom)? Is there a way to switch between the two cameras and decide to use Wide or tele lens? I'm sure we could get a true and reliable optical zoom in almost all light conditions.
I don't think Google camera supports dual cameras at all and that was most probably the reason why xioami chose to use their own camera apk for this device..
Google Camera doesn't support dual camera. My question is: can we force Google Camera to use only telephoto lens? Can this be done by a magisk or xposed module? We could have two apps, one Google Camera using only 12 megapixel Wide lens and another one using only 12 megapixel telephoto lens.
Cstark27 made a Gcam version that uses Lgv30 Wide angle camera. That's exactly what i was asking. A Gcam using our telephoto lens is possibile! Is there anyone able to do the same for Xiaomi mi a1?

But Cstark write:
NOTE: This is built using info from the LG V30 which has 3 camera ID's:
Camera 0 (back)
Camera 1 (front)
Camera 2 (back (wide angle))
I cannot guarantee success on other devices, especially if the phone does not even report all cameras through the Camera2 API (use Camera2Test app to verify your device info).

Camera2 test, on my Mi A1 report only 2 cameas: Back and front :crying:
Maybe It has to be enabled in build.prop.

I hope that this version targeted to a dual camera phone will add support for that specific feature. If Google translation is good they are talking about how to have access to the 2nd camera. Maybe i'm too optimistic?
Solution here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/themes/magisk-google-camera-telephoto-lens-t3767531
My needs:
- Good Camera, esp for indoor and low light use. Need a good manual mode. Portrait mode not important, need to shoot mostly landscape pics.
- Good build quality
- Long lasting battery (~1-2 days for light use)
- Light user, no gaming or other heavy apps
The camera of Mi A1 vs Zenfone 3:
- A1 = dual set up vs Zenfone = single 16MP camera
- A1 = no Laser autofocus, no OIS
- Zenfone 3 = Sony IMX 298 sensor (same as on on oneplus 3t), not sure about A1 sensor quality.
- Maximum shutter speed : 0.067s for A1 vs 32s for Zenfone 3
- Zenfone 3 has a full featured manual mode (more options for shutter speed, WB, ISO etc)
Zenfone 3 comes with a full glass back, and is now more than a year old. The price is half of the launch price. What would you advise. The mi A1 or the Zenfone 3?
go for the A1. some users of ZF3 are having camera issue like blur camera or not focusing.
The camera is not great you need full light. The dual camera is more of a marketing gimmick.
Battery is also not great but does well for the capacity.
For battery I recommend the Lenovo P2 although I have no info on the camera.

thanks for that info, I went thru the Asus forums and like you said, users have complained of camera focus issuing. Are ther any known issues in the Mi A1 that I need to be aware of?

thanks for confirming what i suspected about the camera on A1. Lenovo P2 was on my list, but its bigger and heavier than I need.

Both are 5.5" the size difference is minimal. Slightly thicker due to the monster 5100mAh battery
Expandable memory up to 256mb and HD video. The main drawback being that pesky Lenovo software but community is active on here.
If you take indoor photos, don't buy Mi A1. It has awful low light performance (and I mean awful. The pictures come out grainy. However it has slightly improved by Oreo update). The daylight photos come out amazing though! Landscape photos are amazing.

Thanks! Zenfone 3 is better IMO. In A1, images are blurry but in Zenfone 3 images looks sharp and better.
You can get sharp images with the a1 but there is kind of stabilisation so it's hard and videos are better in zenfone 3 too, if you switch to night mode in the zenfone the Image is very bright and pretty clear but night mode on a1 does nothing lol

I had a Zenfone 2 Laser and man, how much I hated that phone. It has bloatware with takes a big part of the space and like a Custom ROM fan I am no one even cared for that device. So, I recommend any phone over Asus ones ^^

Is HDR+ enabled? The difference between the pictures is huge.
Yes, hdr activated on both cameras, to have a fair comparison..
The camera it is more than i need on the phone.. my complains are two other thing: it is huuuge, compared with my ex iphone 5s and i don't have a real fm radio app.. maybe when we will have the kernel source...

i use it on the latest xiaomi eu dev. also portrait mode only works with the rear camera, not the front. the front camera is just upside down with no blurr effect and low quality. but maybe its because i have the mi5 api fix installed that fixed the upside down front camera after you installed api2. dont know
what works now with miui android 7 is:
config camera HDR+:
Nexus 5X, Nexus 6 Auto, Nexus 6P, Pixel 2016 Tuning (doesnt crash but has problems saving pictures), Pixel 2017 Zsl Hdr PD (doesnt crash but black screen, no connection to photo camere, video works)
everything else crashes.
Model:
Pixel XL(corr), Pixel 2XL, Pixel 2, Nexus 6P, Nexus 5X = basically all work fine.

GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V2.apk
** Please mention me in the thread of your device with a logcat or screenshots.
It works perfectly on Mi MAX 2.
HDR+: Nexus 6p.
Rom: xiaomi.eu 9.2 STABLE
Thank you @Arnova8G2
Using Google camera mod v. 5.1.018.177470874 with xiaomi.eu stable 9.2 and everything works well except slowmo(didn't modify mediaprofiles because that crashes slowmo in miui default camera). Just modified build.prop for camera2api support and the angle of front camera for the upsidedown problem. I use Nexux 6p configs.
Works perfectly for me MIUI 9.2 stable .eu ROM, Nexus 6p configs.
have anyone managed to take astrophotography using mi5? mine isn't working. I have tried many gcam 7.1/7.2 ports, none worked. It shows astrophotography on while mounted to tripod but only takes 8/9 seconds to take picture instead of 4 minutes long exposure. I'm using PE10 rom.

I've not rooted the phone so I can't see the info, but I doubt whether the front camera is ov16880...
From Google, we can see the other phones which uses ov16880 module as back camera can even support 4K video and the result is much better than the one in front camera of Max Pro M1 6GB.

Because it also depends on SoC. I'm attaching a screenshot to show you that I didn't give wrong information.
By the way, latest GCam mod by Arnova8G2 added 4K video recording support on front camera.

Okay...
How about the focus mode? How come the sensor is capable of more focus modes, but it only has fixed focus as front camera here?
Btw, I can't take photo without turning on HDR or HDR+ with this gcam...

You're wrong in both cases.
Check the last line of the screenshot. It says fixed focus for front cam. The focus modes written in the middle is for back cam. Both are described in the screenshot.
And second, yes, I can take photos without turning HDR or HDR+ on.

Of course I know the fixed focus is for front cam. I'm just asking why the same sensor in other phones can have many focus modes while it only has fixed focus as front camera here.
Because in my old phone I can tap to focus using front cam, and now when I tap the focus is still fixed. I can focus on specific object in front cam of old phone but not for in max pro m1. When I am close to the camera enough the things in back is naturally blur in viewfinder, not fake one synthesized by alogrithm. It was a phone made in 2015.
Can you take photos for both front and back cams without turning HDR or HDR+ on using this gcam?
Are you using custom rom? I'm 6GB variant phone on stock Oreo. Thanks.

The cameras of the 3GB/4GB variants are disasters.
The sensors of 6GB variant are good overall but a bit weak in low light in some cases. This can be solved using gcam when you takes photos.

As far I know, ZB601KL has 16 MP front camera on 6 GB variant, which is probably for Indian & Indonesian markets only.
On the other hand, International variant has 8 MP front cam. But this model also has NFC, which is not available in 601KL variant.
