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.

Why Google mod camera is not working on Xiaomi mi note 2?

Gcam mod is not working on Xiaomi mi note 2 why i don't know why?
I have camera2api enabled and my mi note 2 is rooted. i almost try all Gcam mod apps but no success yeah 3.xx version is working but is not good as 5.xx versions.
Please if any one of you have working Gcam mod so please share the all procedure and links.

I can tell you this for sure, i spent last 2 days trying to get a fully functional Gcam to work on my Note 2 and there is no way to do it. Must have tried 3 dozens different Gcams....and a dozen different hacks on how to get them to work. Some work with no HDR some work only back cam some with no Video Camera etc etc.
I'm running Pixel Experience (8.1) Rom that comes with a basic Gcam with no HDR that is the closest to a working cam. I decided to opt for Open Camera that is free fully functional (HDR, DRO and more) video rec works, front and back work and it supports Cam2Api for extra functions. I'd like to get a fully functional Gcam but as far as i know is not possible...yet at least.

The question *WHY* is a very good starting point.
There are almost no phones sharing the quirky SONY imx318 sensor. Just a handful, rather unpopular phones. Which means no development on the gcam, etc.
However, knowing that the Note 2 has a SD821 SoC and a SONY IMX sensor, porting *should* be possible.
(Google Pixel is running an SD821 and a (far superior) SONY IMX sensor)

I forgot to mention that I have Pixel Experience installed and have removed the preinstalled camera first with help of system app uninstaller , before installing the camera. HDR+ works so far.

Gcam 5.3.015 keeps crashing

Anyone else experiencing crash upon starting this gcam version?
Any fix maybe?

is your handset rooted so that it support GCam HDR+ yet?
have you tried another version of GCAM? >> https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/

Yes, every other gcam version works except 5.3.015.

Can't you use other GCams then?

Yea the version is not running but dont get why are the not running I too have Mi A1 unrooted.

GCam 5.3 and 6.1 are mostly from the Pixel devices which only use SINGLE rear cameras. I'm guessing the problem with our devices is that it has DUAL rear cameras and the app is having issues making it work while FRONT camera works for both apps.

but Gcam 5.3 version works on Mi A2, must be some other reason. @joeyhuab

Newer chips then? Probably a chipset compatibility? Or a camera quality issue?

Which version (4 or 6GB RAM) has better camera sensors?

I'm looking to purchase the Zenfone Max Pro M1 and was wondering which version (4 or 6GB RAM) has better camera sensors and with GCam support/compatibility?

Of course, go for 6 GB it has 16+5 MP setup with better apparature.

Gcam doesn't work on 6gb regardless of what version you try, capture button greys out after few clicks, sound quality is really poor on headfones. Camera and screen is below average and design is really outdated.
Only thing that is good in phone is super smooth to use on stock os and great battery life, rest sucks. I'd suggest go for note 7 or note 7 pro. Hope this helps.

Yes, I have read the GCam threads in the apps section and most are saying there is green tint in the front camera, capture button greys out and app force closes, is this the same for the 4GB version too?
I like the Zenfone Max Pro M1 due to the 5000mAh battery whereas the Note 7/Pro only has 4000mAh.

Their is just 45minute screen on time differnce between azmpm1 and RN7p
My advice would be go for RN7p or azmpm2
BTW the 4GB model camera is somewhat inferior without Gcam the quality of images is very poor

I think the screen on time will be more than an hour as the M1 has slightly smaller screen and 1000mAh more battery as I don't game on the phone, only browsing and social media apps.

@Camack , I've 3GB variant so I can't help you on that.
But if you are planning to purchase AZMP M1, then my suggestion would be go for newer piece like AZMP M2 or redmi N7pro or any other you wish. :good:

Just to confirm, this is the GCam version you are using (GCam-5.1.018-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.3b1)?

Maybe they are using good sensor now after much criticism.
Combined with 6 inch display and poor camera sensor
my phone was performing worse than redmi 4
But it has too much devlopment although after some time battery feels like it is of 4000ma

In 6gb version gcam versions starting with 5 . are working fine . no issues at all except slow-motion ,, the issues are with gcam version 6 . some versions from some developers are working fine everything is ok like nightsight ar stickers , but some blackout will occur during usage like shutter button failed to capture green tint issues are solved ,. but its working fine in after we clear the cache of the app . if we sent the log to those developers may be they can fix these issues . right now I am not using gcam because camera2api not able to activate it in pie beta .
6GB Version has better camera and the stock camera is better in daylight and some scene .
after pie there is a performance bump and battery usage time increased . when i purchased i got around 6 hr of screen on time , now i am getting around 9 hrs and 2 day standby with remaining 20 or 10 left ,
the issues with the beta is
less output on speakers
no camera2api
some UI glitches and app crashes .
sound got changes while we switches into apps .eg if we are watching movies then a call comes and we are answering in the same time if we switches to mx player or any app the sound will increase respectively ..
these are the noticed issues .
device has a great hardware quality compared to redmi devices but lack of software optimizations .

Not only so, the 6GB M1 has both cameras upgraded, 16MP front and 16MP back.

I have 6gb and I used gcam and it was flawless, also 5000 mAh battery is clearly better than 4000 + ads built in system are well....

Agree 6GB version is better. But I found that the gcams I've tried can't take photo if HDR is disabled, and the problem gone when HDR or HDR+ is enabled...
I'm using stock rom, did you have this problem? Can you recommend a gcam with front and back cameras working and night sight working, and can take photo without HDR and HDR+?
Thanks

Which version of gcam works fine in the M3?

I saw this version but I don't understand why there are 6 versions, what are the differences (same size) between:

It's for Redmi Note 9 but they share exactly the same cam (Samsung S5KGM1). This is a buffer fix to "fix viewfinder lag on Google Camera and improve processing speeds."

You can't. These sensors bin pixels 4:1, so the outputting image is always 12MP. Even when you see 48MP option in the original app, that's actually 12MP image upscaled to 48.

8.2 video not work, yep its alpha.

systemID=0 is main
systemID=3 is macro
systemID=1 is front
so, what is deep lens?

bsg 8.1 works the best
