About camera quality - Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers

Hey guys, I hope you're all doing well.
I've been wondering if there is any way to switch from MIUI to another room but retaining the same camera quality, I've tried with LOS 16, Pixel experience and xiaomi.eu with the anx camera mod, they're all really awesome ROMs but I've noticed that the camera quality is a little bit worse in detail and color than the stock rom one at best.
I'll be thankful if anyone could guide me in this subject.
Thank you for your time. Cheers.

Why don't you try a camera app with full manual controls?
Like Snap Camera HDR, it's awesome & takes great pics.

I've tried but can't get any more detail/quality than it has, most of them don't even let me use the 48mp camera. I've heard that it has to do with the camera libraries that aren't open source or something like that. But I would like to know if there's any custom ROM that has the same quality as stock or if there's any way or something to be installed to get that. Or if I'm stuck with MIUI if I want camera performance.
Thank you for your patience, I don't really understand these matters but I'm looking forward to learn by asking.

Yes, as I said in the first post, I already tried using anx camera but the detail in pictures somehow is not the same, I tested it side by side with a stock RN7 and a LOS16 RN7 both at the same time and there was a lot of detail lost. Maybe I did a bad flashing or something, I don't know, but this loss in detail is normal?
On a side note, is there a module or a zip or something that I can flash in order to make MIUI look more like stock? I don't like the inbuilt theming that it has, as it only reskins the system.
Thank you guys

They say google camera has more details than stock.

Hello, first ... The gcam versions are great and much better than the stock cam because much more details in the pic. Big thanks to the developer.
.
I tested nearly all..from 6.1 to now 7, from all modders
.
But i only see a different in the awb and sharpness up to the lib.
So ..for me.. there is no great different. 7. looks for me like the 6.3 versions (picquality)
.
I miss really a pro mode with manual iso and shuttertime.
.
That together works for me in no versions from all modders. Is there a chance to get it. Like in the stockcam?
.
What you think?
.
Best greetings

GCAM way better. Huge difference to Stock or ANX...
IMHO the trCam 7.2 Mod is the absolute best right now https://t.me/RedmiNote7Photography
Better than Parrot's or Arnova

Don't install modded gcam. They make the phone run slow, takes up memory even when it's not used. Mi camera isn't bad anymore, after all these updates.

which camera are you using?

I had BSG version on my phone until 2 days ago. I'm not really a camera guy, I don't need 2 cameras on my phone. So I uninstalled. Then I noticed increase in overall snappiness, more free memory, and less storage cache. Also, as I wrote, stock camera was poor in the beginning but now it's not that bad after all these updates.

I know that mostly Custom ROMs have Snapdragon camera, I was saying that mabye I'll try to use Camera FV-5 on some custom to see if there will be manual focus at least (I don't think there will be focus peaking tho). In MIUI installing FV-5 there's not even manual focus, instead on MIUI camera app there's manual focus and focus peaking too.

After Leaving MIUI 8 and choosing CM13 on my mi4i , i just felt miui camera app is awesome. A d after 2 weeks trying every 3rd party camera app, luckily i found a good alternative to this, and that is OPPO camera mod, you can find oppo camera app searching in threads. That works great but i have downloaded a oppo camera version that looks same as R7 camera app. You can try that searching in forums.

Probably I tried some Oppo camera with my Mi4, but I can't remember well.

Actually, Oppo camera app have more features than miui camera app, like HDR, HD pic (more sturations for cropping), slow shutter (lightning painting), Gif, doubke exposure etc etc... All you need is to download 2 apks, 1 for app 1 for plugins.. thats it. I HAVE UPLOADED 2 CAMERA APP INTERFACE SCREEN SHOTS. THATS Mi4i. CM13

Why custom ROM camera cannot defeat stock ROM camera quality?

Why custom ROM camera cannot defeat stock ROM camera quality?
Because it can and does? Stock rom has awful side effects like aggressive sharpening and noise reduction. I hated it and had to mod my system files to get decent photos. Unless the custom Rom you are using has bad camera library files or something, I don't see why it wouldn't be a major improvement over stock.
I know some custom roms, like the pixel experience one, are supposed to have camera2 and HDR+ out of the box. Maybe it depends on the rom?

Can you post these mods here and also if you can ask savitar to mod camera lib callibration as pixel2, cause both got the same sensor and having pixel2 callibration will surely improve camera quality.

Actually, Savitar said the Pixel 2 calibration was worse than the one he's been using, aside from adc noise profiling and color calibration. The rest was unusable/ didn't enhance.
There's a thread where I've tried to gather relevant links and information about the camera here:

No need for custom Rom. Use Bacon camera from the play store.

Worth using the Gcam vs stock Moto camera?

With a hell lot of beta versions of gcam being developed daily of different variants, I just wanted to know if it's really worth a shot flashing a custom Oreo ROM and using those Gcams, instead of stock Moto Camera. What are your thoughts?
For me, not really, instead i use snap camera hdr , that app give me better results than gcam but gcam has a faster hdr algorithm that can be essencial for fast moving objects for example, or fast pictures snap. The autofocus of gcam never worked that well for me, but the portrait worked very well. On custom rom you lose slowmotion.

Dude don't listen to this duncan dude. gcam is amazing now. focus is just as good as stock camera and the picture quality is miles ahead. even portrait mode works perfectly fine. the only thing is front portrait is noisy on most camera apps. but the results from back camera are comparable to iphone 7 and s8 and pixel.(seriously- cuz g5 plus uses same sensor as pixel 2)

Some issues with GCam on Zenfone Max pro M1

GCam is working fine most of the times. I am using the latest recommended version V5.1 that requires no set up. Images are great albeit quite some noise, however my main issue is with evening shots like taking sunsets,the lower left corner exhibits ugly pink noisey vignetting and the whole image has a slight pink hue to it. I have enabled the toggle in the settings to fix this pink hue issue but it still persists. Please help me fix this. May be recommend another version.

Yeah I have that issue too but it's on my gcam pixel 3 mod. I could only suggest using fu24mod which is also stable and has rest of the features except night sight

Custom ROM Advice - Camera?

Hi all,
I'm going to install a custom ROM but wanted to ask a few questions first.
What's the deal with the camera? Camera quality is important to me and I've heard that custom ROMs can degrade the camera performance. What exactly happens? I don't think much of the stock camera app and so use Snap Camera instead as it has the ability to turn off noise-reduction and has way more features.
Will there be any difference using Snap on a custom ROM. Does HDR still work well?
More generally, what ROMs are good in terms of being bug free, smooth and recent Android version (7+).
Thanks
Oh, and if anyone could point me in the direction of a good guide for initial rooting and custom recovery for the 900F that would be super! :good:

Man, for me, the performance of Snap camera is better than stock, I was fear of the same, camera quality, but for me HDR and noise-reduction is much better than samsung's camera. Now I can't barely use stock roms without Snap, or Mi A2 Magisk module. It just don't have so many functions like stock one, but I don't mind for it.

Here, just make sure you're downloading files for your phone model, you can see it in "About the phone" on settings of your phone, thanks for who made that guide of the link
For the camera just use snap camera (default LineageOS app) and this mod https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-15-1-camera-supporting-60fps-120fps-t3809145
Also, for rooting G900F you just need to flash TWRP using odin and then the desired root solution, (i would recomend latest magisk)
Thanks both.
I've been using my phone on CrDroid first, then Mokee for about a week now and I think the camera is just fine.
I have done some comparison shots and there seems to be no difference between Snap Cam on stock and Snap Cam on custom rom.
The few differences I have found are in the denoising process. If you like denoising (and I don't), then the stock TouchWiz camera does a much better job of resolving detail and contrast than Snap Cam or the in built camera app of CrDroid or Mokee does. Denoising is pretty bad. However, I have recently installed Google Camera on Mokee and that seems to do a pretty good job with denoising. Alternatively you could just use an app like Snapseed to denoise photos you think need it, and get much better results.
