Google Cam ports - Xiaomi Mi 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods

Anyone tested out any gcam ports?
I've just tried one (from the Mi 8 xda forums link below, via telegram) and initial tests show photos and night sight works! Not tested it thoroughly yet though, such as video etc
It's this one:
MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V2e.apk
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8/themes/mi-8-google-camera-mod-t3803984
Update: seems most things work other than portrait mode, just crashes

Hi cd993,
what for a miui version runs your Mi9 out of the box? is it on stable channel? Is camera api2 enabled as default in miui9 stable yet?
can you please test if HDR+ is working and can you confirm the port uses the primary (48mpix) lens for photos or does it use another from the three lenses?
I hope i get my Mi9 tomorrow, then i'll do a big photo comparison between Mi9 camera vs. my Mate 20 pro and my grilfriends Mi8 (with google port).
Can't wait to unlock the phone and hope a pixel experience port will arrive soon
Thanks

Hey,
OK see attached my miui version.
HDR+ appears to work, it takes that little bit longer to process, though not tested thoroughly. The photo was 12mp so presumably just the standard lens

Thanks fotr the info.
Its the stable channel version, lets look how the beta version is ... after 300hours ...
Can you test the camera setup again? 12mpix can be correct even if its shoot with the primary 48mpix sensor because the sensor uses "pixel binning", these combines four to one pixel to increase sharphness and lightning. Maybe the pixelbinning were just applied in the sensor itself. Its easy to test which lense the port uses. open the google cam port and cover the lenses with a finger, if you look at the viewfinder. when you cover the lens at the top and the "viewfinder is covered" then the primary lens (48mpix) sensor is used.
Thanks

THank you very much.
So happy that you can compare Mi 9 with Mi 8 Google Camera performance.
Considering whether to upgrade from Mi 8 to Mi 9 for camera upgrade. THank you.

Yes, but i can finalize the comparison even after March 16th, due to traveling.
I've done a comparison between Mi8 and P20pro last year but Mi8 was shooting without Google Cam port, because the port wasnt availible at this time.

okay.. hello rommco!!

Can you tell me the best settings you have found to make gcam work efficiently on our mi9?
Pics are too softened by night with normal camera. And with night mode they are catastrophic too much artificial sharpening.

Yes, but the photo is only 12mpx, also in Raw mode.

Much better to use Arnova latest version. Since mi 9 supports c2api level 3 can utilize the aux camera feature for telephoto.

Tap on the swap camera icon, it uses telephoto after switching to front cam

Ah thanks yes I see now.
Is there a way to use the wide angle? Perhaps not yet but will love it if/when we can

I made a comparison between Huawei Mate 20 Pro and Xiaomi Mi 9.
https://photos.app.goo.gl/ecGsAyjPUKVQ7adX9
I'll gradually add more photos.
See the watermark to differentiate the phones.
Images without watermark were captured with the Google Pixel Port (in the dark with Nightsight)
Images were captured via point and shoot, both "AI" Features are enabled. Google Pixel with HDR+

Can somebody link a scam that works directly with the mi9? Is it possible to take photos in 16/9? 12 mo lens I think...
Thank you.

I think not yet since most ports are from phones with dual cam only with telephoto. Hoping someone will port a build specifically for mi 9.

Found a version where portrait works.
GCam_6.1.021_N7P_test2.3.apk
Motion photo also works, theres also a toggle to always show night mode for easy access which I think is really good.

Google Camera and HDR+

I know some devs have succesfully ported pixel camera for nexus devices to allow HDR+. Is it possible to do the same for the LGV20 so that we can also expirience that HDR+ software?

So this question really irked me, in a good way of course. Whilst studying for my history exam, I was thinking that HDR+ is essentially software based. The Pixel's camera's specs are kinda mediocre aside from the 1.55um sensor—only f2.0 aperture and no OIS; the best part about the camera is the software to back it all up. So, I looked around to see if you could potentially port the camera app itself, which might have the correct algorithm for HDR+. I came across a dev who made the app Camera NX, which in essence is a port.
So here is a brief overview of the app.
And here he explains how the HDR+ has zero shutter lag.
What really got my attention is the following quote:
This mod is just an update to Chow's Camera NX app, which itself is a port of the Pixel's stock camera app and libraries. What that all boils down to is that you don't even need to be rooted to get Zero Shutter Lag with HDR+ mode right now.

Anyways, since I do not own an LG V20 (I hope to soon, once my Note 4 contract expires), you'll have to do most of the testing and report back, if that's alright. Nonetheless, I hope this was helpful!
Thanks for the reply. I did come across that apk and installed it. It does work as a camera but unfortunatly there is no HDR+ present. There is exposure setting and whitebalance toggles. The other problem i notice is that the slow motion seems worse quality then what is found on the stock app. By all means i am no expert bit if any one else has feedback or have tested this themselves and see improovements or HDR+ present let us all know.
Unfortunately I haven't found Google Camera to work on the V20;it works good on the note 5 though...weird. Stinks because there is no option to make photo-spheres with the V20 .
scrap that. I just downloaded the latest from xda...no problems!

actually the hexagon dsp on the snapdragon 820/821 does the heavy lifting for hdr+ which works different between the pixels and the 5x/6p. the latter ones only can do software hdr+. there was an interesting post on reddit about this. currently also searching for a modified google camera app as camera nx is only modified for the nexus phones. the lg g5 and v20 are very much capable of what the pixel does.
It probably isn't as simple as that. But have you tried changing the build.prop to identify the phone as a pixel?
I can't try myself as I don't have root access.

Photo sphere works on the regular Google camera app available on the play store, you don't need a modded version to use that feature

Except Google camera app is not available in the store with stock LG V20 software.
Does anyone know if it's possible to use the pixel camera mod with the wide angle lens? I'm not sure how you would put the ability to switch from regular to wide in the app but is there any way to have it default to the wide angle lens instead of the regular one?

There are reports of the app using the wide lens and for others it uses the regular narrow one. For me on my h918 it uses the regular narrow lens. There is no button for switching like on the stock LG camera so as of right now I'm not aware of any way to switch between them.
I've found nice GCam mode suitable for V20

Google Camera HDR+ function can be activated on Mate 9's?

Recently seen that for the latest 8** series Snapdragon SOC driven devices the HDR+ function on Google Camera was made functional on most of devices. The results in comparison to their original camera seems day and night from all points of view especially in low-light situations. As we now this seems to be Achilles heel for the Mate 9 and maybe the biggest reason that most of us lookup for other devices.
As I am no expert, I wonder if this function can be made functional on Kirin chipsets!? I want to take this opportunity to pull the alarm for the developers' and for the skillful members of this forum.
If successful most likely most of us won't look that soon for the planned new launches like: Note 8, V30, maybe even the next Mate.
You can do it yourself you know. Just shoot several raw images and combine them into one in post. Not as quick as HDR+ but it works!

That thing already know, but regardless of how hard you try (any app or setup) you cannot achieve results that good. Plus google camera's exposure is much better. Please check this thing yourself if you don't believe me.
does google camera even work on mate 9?

Yes. But not the most recent ones. The ones for 7.0 work.
True HDR uses three different images that you then assemble in a photo editing suite of your choice. The 'HDR' function in any phone is not a true HDR and just a computer algorithm that blends three exposures. Since the Mate 9 shoots raw, most will just do it the 'real' way Would be neat to see this function in the Mate 9 for us lazy folks(yes I am lazy and yes I am a professional photographer)
Ok, so no interest in this direction, nobody keen on improving the camera.
Not what I was saying at all. If we can improve the camera and keep all the functions built into it by Huawei, I would be first in line to sign up. Hell, I bought this phone specifically because of the camera. It is a wonderful performer that I have not even begun to stretch to the limits yet, but I have only had the phone for 3 days or so. I look forward to an improved camera, but only without the loss of functionality

No, I didn't do anything special. But pay attention: there are two different APKs. One of them is for Qualcomm CPUs. Download the one in the first link. This one.
Hey guys, I've tried the other one I think and crashed the camera driver had to reboot! Lemmie try this one! Thanks kermex
Edit: Nope! I open once, then can't open again :/ Oh well... Another curious thing is that it only detects the 12MB RGB Sensor... These sensores have so much potential, hope Huawei will get into the Camera Software deeper...
So now it works, change hw level to legacy.
Comparing histograms using 2 pictures, one is stock HDR and the other is using the Google Camera HDR+, I can conclude that HDR+ isn't working, can't see any improvements regarding dynamic range. What do you guys think?

The only thing I changed was the option to save as RAW. Nothing else.
will test it with several set-ups to see if any improvement comes from the HDR+ function.

[APP] [PIE] [Mi5] Stable Google Camera

Hi everyone!
I was looking for the most stable Gcam for my Mi5 (Gemini) and didn't find newest post about it.
On testing here, GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.2 shows better results and more stable.
Link to download: https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.2.apk
But it is based on Pixel 2, without Night Sight.
The newest release by Arnova8G2 (GoogleCamera_6.1.021.220943556.apk) is really slowly and spend a lot of battery.
There is other bugs on Tolyan009 too (MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-based_v.1.2_TlnNeun.apk), like purple photos with NS and Noise Reduction. Other bug is green and dark photos from front camera.
I got other bugs with camcoder pause/shot functions.
Well, did anyone test another Gcam for Pie that all functions is working?
TRy MGC_6.1.013_B-S-G-based_v.0.6b_TlnNeun.apk
I've been tested almost all Tolyan/Arnova.
The winner is GoogleCamera_6.1.021.220943556: https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/GoogleCamera_6.1.021.220943556.apk
Just one bug: inverted photos using Night sight for selfies.
Minor bug: Battery is a little used more than expected. But I don't think that is an disadvantage cause this version there isn't any lag, good integration with Gphotos and HDR+ processing is fast (1 or 2 seconds to finish).

Can't help. I did a rollback to Android Nougat 7.1.2.
Hi all,
i am still using a fantastic Mi5 Pro and the only issues that i am still having is the google cam battery drain in the pictures shots.
every kind of Gcam, 5 or 6 ver. still have this issues during the processing of the HDR features; the battery can drain 10% in a minute (with 2-3 shots), it's unacceptable....
Any ideas? Thanks
I've long been in a search for the best google pixel camera for the MI-5.
The best I've found (and am using as a daily driver) is this one:
GCam-6.2.030_Arnova8G2_Urnyx05-v2.3.apk
This has/can:
- Close to 0 shutter lag (others often had 0.5-1 second)
- motion photo
- More than 3-4 photos in a burst (had this issue with others, those stopped taking photos while they were 'processing')
- Fast start times (other gcam ports often took 2-4 seconds (!!!) to start up)
(Note, this is in combination with LineageOS 16)

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.
Are you still there?
Up to v6-v8 arnova version was the best but there isn't support for Night Sight.
I give up it cause I rollback to Android 7.
Now other person need to use Mi5 and want Gcam with that feature.
Using that:
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/Gcam_6.2.030_Advanced_BF_V2.2.1.190822.1145.apk
oxi_arn1.4_mi5_config_v3.xml
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/p/f/2019/10/oxi_arn1.4_mi5_config_v3.xml
The results is great but front camera stills get green photos.
I tried many different settings but the same results (green photos on selfie).
Ths version is very stable, fast and works great with Gphotos. Night Sight is another real good feature.
And on that, I can't use this .XML.
Other versions Selfie isn't green but the quality is very poor and crackled.
Anyone know a hint to solve this?
Thanks.
@Arnova8G2
I am now using Xiaomi's Mi5.
Current Operating System: Pixel Experience Android 10 Plus Edition
Now I am looking for the best Gcam for my phone. Recently I have used some of the Gcam versions. But every one of them has major bugs.
I noticed high battery consumption and experienced various problems( green effect, saturation etc) while taking pictures.
So, I want to know if there is any version available for MI5 which
which doesn't drain fast
close to 0 shutter lag
Fast start times
HDR+ processing is fast
Good integration with Gphotos
Night mode and most of the other features are available
Able to take Perfect Selfie (Without any green/dark effect or saturation problem)
Thanks in advance!!!
Note: Camera2api is enabled in my device. But the phone is not rooted and I don't intend to do so

Astrophotography on Gcam

Is astrophotography working on RN7 on Gcam?
I downloaded latest version of Gcam and setup all in developers options and still I cant get astrophotography..
I read somewhere that this is not available on MiUI..
I've unlocked and installed a custom rom (Atom OS, Android 10 based), thinking that being on Android 9 based MiUi would be the problem for not having Astrophotography mod working on my RN 7 - unfortunately, even on the new rom, this is not working.
Astrophotography doesn't work either for me with RedMi Note 7, MIUI 10.3.6.0 and Google Camera v7.0.009 V13 by Bulkin043 aka InnocentParrot.
I tried to put the phone on the table, I set the night sight, the 3 second self-timer, the focus on infinity, as seen on some YouTube videos, but the 1 minute and 6 second shot does not happen.
What am I doing wrong? Or what should i do to enable it?
Astrophotography it's pretty new I think it's not available for our model yet.
Astrophotography works in default miui cam. I managed to click some decent pictures.

It works good with miui manual cam settings.
Same with Redmi 4x even the camera2api is already level 3.
Infinity focus, 3 second timer already set.

You can see a comparison near the end of this youtube video: vOPA7Xz8fTk
(sorry but I'm not yet allowed to post an outside url)
Or in other similar videos searching for google camera astrophotograpy.

I don't think so, because the length of the shot in normal night sight mode is about 6 seconds while in astrophotography the shot is about 1 minute and 6 seconds long.
very nice, but I think it´s not working for me on the official global miui. It may be related to a firmware on the phone.

It works good with miui manual cam settings.

Update - Images reuploaded.
Took at tmo the day I bought it.
Upload didn't work.
Don't bother with the stock cam. Use GCam Mods.
Why?
GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.1_Wichaya_V2.7.3 - normal vs OP8T stock (Oxygen OS 11.0.1.2.KB05BA

PS: GCam 7.4 also works, but missed HDR+ so far.
Aux cams (wide, macro) don't work

Thanks for the comparisons! I'm hoping to be comparing my Pixel 4 and 8T side by side with Gcam here in the next week.
Photos are a huge thing for me as well so this will be my primary driver towards OnePlus or moving to the Pixel 5.

Same for me. I really enjoy the Photos of my OP3 with Gcam 7.2 very much, everyone is astonished about the quality a 4 year old 450€ phone can achieve.
It's just too slow, takes 30 seconds after 2 shots to process
So far, I had no time to test the OP8T, but tomorrow I hope my wife and me can make comparison shots with OP3 and OP8T, both with GCam. The macros that you can achieve with of the OP3 and GCam are really amazing, you can see single hairs on bumblebees.
Why did I not choose a Pixel 5?
1. You can't buy it officially in Austria and they cancel illegally purchases from Austria in the German shop
2. Google support is the worst of the worst, while OnePlus has fantastic support, easy to reach.
3. You get so much more raw power in the OP8T than in the Pixel 5. While the Pixel 5 is good for anything it does today, it's CPU is 1/2 to 1/3 of the power of the 865, so in ~2 years it will already have problems with some software
That said, the pixel camera software is unbeaten and If there would not be Gcam mod, I had a Pixel.

Hey
Can you please share the gcam link
My Jeep in the snow
Anybody managed to get a good enough picture with the macro lens? For me the macro camera is really poor. I mean, like 2005 used to have better camera than this, the photos are very unclear and grainy every single time, pretty useless. The main camera is good enough and the Ultrawide is ok, usable. But the other 2 are really a waste of space. imo.

Last night there were clear skies for 2hrs, so I used that opportunity to test out the astrophotography feature on Google Camera. Both photos were taken from the same position.
1st photo - main lens
2nd photo - wide angle lens.

How is the camera on this phone? I really want to buy one, but i'm not that convinced about the camera, from what i've seen in the reviews. Currently i'm using a Huawei Mate 20 Pro. Can anyone tell me how this two phones compare in camera quality?

Don't buy this phone for camera. It's not worth it. Better get OP 8 Pro which has IMX 689 sensor.

Camera gets far better with Gcam.
I'm seing that it uses the same camera sensors as the 7! Is this true?! How come they don't update the sensors?
