Experiencing problems with the ultrawide angle camera - Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers

Hi!
I updated my phone yesterday to MIUI 10.3.11 Global and I saw that the ultrawide camera is lagging a little bit. At video (or recording) it's working normal, like the others. And in gcam it works normal too. Can be the problem in the latest firmware? (If I remember well in the latest firmware worked well but, it was on first day I got the phone, and later that day I updated the phone.)

Huh, same here. GCam wide angle working normally, but the stock app lags quite a lot. Thanks for the heads up! Hope they fix it soon

LG G4 Advanced cameras (Arnova8G2 , Camera NX, BSG and similar)

Hi to all!
I would like to create a meeting point for all LG G4 users of Google Camera mod's.
In my personal experience (LG G4 H815 @kessaras AOSCP (Oreo 8.1) 20170105):
NX Camera 7.1 fails
BSG Camera fails
 @Arnova8G2 Cam5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.4Beta2 works partially (Portrait mode works perfect. Normal photo mode fail on rear camera)
Hope to help to join experiencies and get a extra on our nice camera
@Arnova8G2 GCam5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.5Beta2.apk work fine (some crash) on @kessaras g4 aoscp Oreo 8.1 20180107 ROM. Back and front camera working portrait and hdr+
scrubber_GCam_5.1.018.apk works but no portrait

I'm on v29 Nougat. (H-ROM).
MGCB_7.0H_C2API_Mid_v.3.8b_AllinOne_Full_Manual:
Works fine for me, I genuinely like the pictures better than stock camera. But I also feel like the stock camera makes worse pictures than it did under MM (only a feeling, didn't do any testing). Video doesn't work, however.
GCam5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.4:
Front camera works, but back camera is all black, going through a ton of settings didn't fix it.

Does any google camera port work on any of the Stock Rom? any with HDR+ or portrait?

Best GCam for Our phone?

Hey, Hi!
I have a X727 using a Oreo Rom (AEX 5.4) and I've have tried some Gxam Mod apps, mainly Arnova's and miniuser's version. Both are great! And I get a beautiful bokeh/portrait effect with both cameras, rear/front.
Just a little issue. Using Portrait mode with front Camera, if there is much light or directly under Light/Sun, the results is a over exposed image, a lot bright and Burn. Some time I got a little bit orange face. This only happens with Portrait Mode and only with front camera. Using front camera without Portrait mode, I get pretty image, not issue there. Rear camera work perfectly Normal/Portrait mode.
My question is, its a front camera fault? If its a hardware/sensor issue, its ok for me. Any setting to fix this or can use another Gcam app? Already I used a lot of them with same results, so I think could be a some of tweak or play with setting... I don't Know...
Thank!
some of gcams allow to change exposure manualy even on front camera. try to lower it and see how it works. and clean the camera too ?

I'm actually using the same rom and have played around with a few different mods. Did you settle on a favorite? So far my fav has been the Arnova pixelmod2 v6. It balanced features and speed for me (I prefer the pixel/zsl mode speed over the nexus 6 mode).

This is the best link to stay up to date with all of the numerous versions of GCam that will work on this phone: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
Personally I use, Arnova's v7beta9: Which is the most up to date and provides " a pixel-like experience (portrait mode, motion photos, etc). Doesn't require a camera fix anymore in some phones"

I installed GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V7.7.apk which I think is almost the same but with fixes. Looks like it's working fine. However what settings do you use ? I kept defaults for now.
Which Gcam do you use with x720 and official Lineage 16?

Lenovo P2 kuntao main camera fix in HAL3 mode (Gcam HDR+ fix)

So, its known Lenovo P2 (kuntao) has camera bug when using HAL3 mode with RAW capture, it look like pink lines instead of preview and captured pictures. I fixed this ****, now all HAL3 apps working fine. Google camera mods working including HDR+ mode.
changelog:
v1
*Initial release - fixed raw photo
v2
* Fixed issue with video recording in Lineage Snap camera, less changed bytes
* Please test and write review if this version all fine to you, if its fine, will be included in next Lineage releases.
v3
* Only 2 bytes changed compared to stock lib, so have to be least negative impact on previous working apps as possible. Please report if it breaks something.
choose one of the attachments depending on what rom you using. If you have treble enabled rom please use kuntao_fix_main_cam_v2_8.1treble.zip (149.0 KB) and if you using 7.1.2 based or 8.1 with no treble use kuntao_fix_main_cam_v2_7.1.zip (149.2 KB)
Install it using recovery and test camera apps. I have tested Google camera mod MGC_5.1.018.177624777-41364271.apk (BSG, 2018-07-12) from https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/ . It has working HDR+ mode when choosing Nexus 6P model.
If it fixed camera for you, I will appreciate small donation https://www.paypal.me/VitaliyTomin
And second small fix is for those who want to use front cam in Gcam. Set black level 16 for front camera, or you will get green/yellow tint.
What about the dark video in both front and back from default camera
Sure i will donate 100rs
Don't you have paytm?
It works! I am on Arnova 7.9 official, the one with a red link on celsoazevedo link.
Anybody upload some sample photos and specify the (config) details if applicable.
Can I just flash this as a new user ? Do I have to flash anything else
@highwaystar_ru add portrait fix in topic too
Amazing job!
With official LineageOs 15.1 the pictures are a little pink-ish to me.
Damn it worked.
using latest beta version GCam_5.3.015-Pixel3Mod-Arnova8G2-v4Beta4.apk by Arnova8G2 and portrait mode is damn fine.
Everything is working except slow motion video.
Thanks @highwaystar_ru and @celoxocis
I was hoping that mike would do it didn't expected from you guys and after reading @celoxocis comment few days ago about some imx258 blob problem i thought this day will never come.
Official lineage oreo and now gcam. You guys rocks.

@highwaystar_ru did all the hard work!
i was simply supporting him in trying to find possible proper alternative blobs and checking their content using hex values. while he spend days with IDA to make the original blobs work!
ne never gave up! the results speak for themselves!
Good work @highwaystar_ru , did you take library of p2 and you fixed it or did you ported from another device?
Photo quality is astounding ! Using latest camera mod from the provided link.
Many thanks !
When using treble and LOS 15.1 - will the mod survive system updates, being in the Vendor partition ?
on the latest beta. I noticed when it is to dark and you switch to front camera. it crashes the app. anyone know a possible fix for that? I remember reading something on a OnePlus subforum. but can't remember where.

I have tried front camera on almost all lighting conditions just to tried what's working and not. I haven't encounter any crash on low lighting (i have tried even in complete dark too) but i have face 1 crash using front camera in outdoor lighting. It just freeze for 1 second and then crash. I have changed some setting in the app.
Look at the hdr+ photo it's just not look like it's from our camera

I went back to MGC_5.1.018.177624777-41364271.apk which is rock stable. in the beta the front camera (selfie camera) was crashing too much in my tests. especially when switching cameras. it's probably an issue with the beta.
now if we had a fix for video camera support for 30fps and 60fps. that would be great. all recordings now are in 24fps. which are smooth and without micro stuttering. even on Open Camera. but Snap Camera (default LineageOS Camera) refuses to take a video recording without 30fps at least.

well in theory. yes. it should be able thanks to @highwaystar_ru
he added the profiles [email protected] 24 fps and [email protected] fps to the video profile to the back camera.
but the rom media profiles xml needs to be adjusted i think. for it to work with snap. for now snap and OpenCamera will record in [email protected] fps.
i haven't tested 4k yet.

Is the autofocus problem prevalent in all ROMS? Kernels?

Hey! I love this phone but i'm kinda getting tired of my beautiful gcam pictures coming out a little blurry, and not being able to "tap to focus". 9MP is off the table for me since I just can't get myself to like the aspect ratio. So, is there any rom or kernel that fixes it? obviously, it has to be pie.
note: the last time i tried to unlock my bootloader, an error popped up. when i reseted my phone, the official pie update installed itself. would that affect any new attempt at unlocking it?
thank you guys so much in advance!
Many said that the AF problem in Pie disappear when using custom roms and install Flex's HAL1 port. I haven't tried this myself since I'm staying on Oreo.
I've got Lineageos and autofocus with gcam is good.
Custom roms dont have auto focus issues, all working good

GCam 7.3 (stable version) on Note9 Snapdragon Android 10

Hi Note9 fam. I was contemplating selling my Note9 because GCam had stopped working since Android 10. But luckily, I've found a stable version (I can't stand the performance and quality of the stock Samsung camera).
PixelCam_7.3_V3.0 by jairo_rossi (https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog1124/). The link was found originally from this list (https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/).
I tried about 9-10 different modded versions and this was by far the most stable. I'll list out below what works and does not work based on my testing. All you need to do is download the APK and install it. No other tweaks/mods required. I'm using an unrooted Note9 128gb, Snapdragon variant.
What works:
1. Photography (regular and portrait; both selfie and back cameras work flawlessly)
2. Videography (both selfie and back camera works flawlessly)
3. Night Sight (tried it in my room with all doors and windows closed) *Astrophotography is included but I have't had a chance to test it out
4. Panorama
5. Time lapse video
What does not work:
1. *Photos in 16:9 ratio (will force close and you won't be able to reopen unless you clear data/cache*
2. Slow Mo video (will force close but app will relaunch)
3. Preview after taking a photo (this will ONLY work if you have Google Photos; if you use the Samsung Gallery or any 3rd party gallery app, previewing after taking a photo does not work)
Hope that helps! Please feel free to add in your experience. All credit goes to jairo_rossi for giving all Note9 users a stable GCam version for Android 10!
Which of them in particular. They ate about six gcams of different dates. And can it work on os9 of note 9?
I've been using GCam version MGC_6.1.021_BSG_A on my Note9 snapdragon for well over a year and it takes considerably better pics than the stock camera.
Is this version a lot better than the Pixel 3 ports like the one I've been using?
Latest Urnyx05 version works great.. but astrophotograhy isnt working
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfil...5-v1.7-fix.apk
Can someone else try it?
Hello, testing jairo_rossi last update pixelcam plus 1.1 from 05/23
So far this is the best gcam for note 9 snapdragon i have tested.
In android 10, stock samsung camera got a huge improvement, very good night pics, compared to stock camera android 9. In pie, almost any gcam was better than stock. Now not any gcam is better than stock, most of the variants you got a very pixelated night pics, so gcam from jairo_rossi is a very very good! Some pics are a little dark vs stock, this can be improved.
Testig Astrophotography this night.

When enabled, the sky pics get very very pixelated, normal night shot is better. This can be by the high ISO used. May in the next update this can be improved.

Jairovrossi is working in my note 9. Snapdragon, android 10. If your device is exynos Look for Exynos version. If you have android 9, look for a version that works in pie.
I haven’t tried Astrophotography but everything in my original post still stands for the version I downloaded, even after 2 software updates for the Note9. The stock camera quality is still subpar after the Android 10 update so GCam is a must have for me.

For normal pics?
I just testing night sight. Last version of jairorossi pixelcamplus v2.0 is much better, but stock night shot is still very very good, i found gcam is just a little better. Tomorrow going to test normal pics.
Some samples day outside, and night shot inside.
Stock night shot is very goog in android 10, almost no diferences, and in some shots quality is not subpar.

Which gcam are you using (dev, and ver.)? Also, are you using a config for the note 9?
Hello fellas. I, as many of you, wasn't ready to give up on the gcam port for this device, so I went looking for one of the modders that hasn't let me down on these matters.
This is the version I'm using (gcam 7.3) from Arnova8G2, and the only thing missing is the astrophotography. Aside from that it works great, even the slow mo, portraits and night sight.
Cheers mates.
I want a supper camera
FYI. I have an SM-N960U with U1 stock ROM flashed onto it. This camera app opens then crashes.
i got this GCAM APK And the night sight is the same as the night mode on Samsung Stock. Their is more noise on the GCAM And Astrophotography makes no difference. anyway to fix this
