This is mine

It worked
I have Moto X XT1092 running CM12.1. It worked like charm. But I have a query. Why is that other camera apps, even paid ones(like Camera FV-5), doesn't support ISO? For instance, Camera FV-5 has ISO setting and yet I can't access it. Not only that, I have tried with many other camera apps.

I don't know yet,but i'm working on this to work with all camera apps! Only on stock camera for now

Tested and confirmed on Moto X1 (ghost) and Moto X2 (victara)

Installed apk on 6.0 and restarted, no ladybug showed up. I'm on the xt1095 using the Brazil release thru twrp restore.

Running cm 13. Says "camera error: please restart the camera" when taking a picture
Weird... Screwed up the cm camera too. Says "camera error: can't connect to the camera"

This is an unrelated CM13 bug. The camera will crash after one picture

no ladybug shown with Victara in Marshmallow stock rom

For me it works, full stock MM.
I should precise I installed the app when I was on lollipop and it worked already. I use it to lock ISO and the results are way better than stock camera.

Worked on xt1092 with MM. Installed next to original, so when I twist my wrist I still get the old camera app.
But you can do much more than just iso adjustments! Really cool!
Edit: the ISO setting does not work. Whatever iso I choose it will do auto. Changing the picture size to 8mp and disabling QCdenoise will give great results.

How is the battery life on los 15.1??

Its good

Resurrection Remix 5.8.5 is very stable & as far as I'm concern, also bug-free.
To get better battery life, root it Magisk then install Greenify and Root Master (choose Battery mode).
Currently I'm using Pixel Launcher 3 instead of Trebuchet launcher from RR.
Status: Finish full charge on 7am, bring to work, connect to office Wi-Fi, back home at 6pm (also connect to Wifi), battery is still 48-51% remaining.

Does Resurrection need to wipe internal storage coming from Miui 9 Xiaomi.eu or I can flash it with simple system/data wipe? 120 GB of data is a bit annoying to be moved somewhere else.

Based on my experience moving from MIUI 8 Global Stable to Paranoid 7.2.1, it's not necessary to wipe the internal storage. Just make sure you have the right version of TWRP installed and flashed the most compatible fw version with the ROM you want to flash. As for RR, I use the capricornCNFirmware-7.11.16. Google it for the download link. Happy flashing...

A thing that I really want to know is: I'm moving to an AOSP ROM because Miui 9 system block some apps to properly working, so I want try on another ROM and I want root it,
1) can I go with SuperSU zip as usual or there are better alternatives?
And a very interesting thing I want know is
2) how does camera work? Is it good?
3) if I want apply camera mod to enable 1080p 60 FPS recording, does it work? Never tried?

If you currently use MIUI 9, make sure you unlock the bootloader first to be able to change the bootloader to TWRP. Only after successful install of TWRP you can begin flashing the custom ROM of your choice.
1) As for rooting, I use Magisk (install the zip via TWRP). Magisk comes with handy apps for you to download many interesting add-on module, such as Viper4 music equalizer, Google Product Sans font, Greenify, etc.
2) You can install gcam or even a ported Mi A1 camera apk. Browse through this XDA Xiaomi Mi5 forum. Plenty of information here
3) Sorry. Never tried this. Maybe anybody else can help?

Los15.1

Omni rom is the best as for battery, fluid, bug free, stable for Oreo

It have that option sometimes its not functioning

60fps can be forced in some 3rd party camera apps(Google camera mods for instance) via modifying a system file, but the effect is actually the opposite. 30fps videos get about 22fps and 60fps gets 24fps. As far as i know it's IMPOSSIBLE to really record 1080p 60fps with Mi5. Probably some hardware limitation, otherwise it would be enabled by default, there have been many official updates since release.

Oh no it is possible to record in 1080p at 60 FPS infact OnePlus 3 with same hardware of Mi 5 already support this function since 2016 (shame on Xiaomi which still doesn't give us this possibility). But fortunately we have great independent developers who try to get us all features to our phone, infact on a forum some good devs were able to bring us recording in 1080p at 60 FPS. Check the Mi 5 mod section to find it and be able to use it.

Tried it, doesn't really work, I thought I made it work too. Read what I said... As far as I've read on all forums, nobody made it work, so it must be impossible. I can really love with it though.

Use the GCam mod by Arnova found in this link:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/themes/app-collection-camera-modded-t3591177
This will only work if you're running an Oreo 8.1 64-bit ROM.
It does not encounter the issue you are facing. But it is advisable that your gallery must be Google Photos as default.
Most features are working properly except the EIS, Photosphere and Panorama. Be sure to turn off EIS when in video recording mode.

Question on options for custom Android 9 or 10 ROM

Hello!
Any custom Android 9 or 10 ROM which has all of these features (and works well overall)?
1. Working GCam OR full stock camera (any of the two is fine);
2. Working camera button;
3. Night light.
Also, am I correct that the Oreo AOSP Extended has both of these options?
Thanks in advance.

As I mentioned in my other post full stock cam and Gcam GO is available in:
Linagege OS: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...rom-lineageos-17-1-unofficial-coming-t4047763
Havoc OS: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-xz1-compact/development/rom-havoc-os-v3-6-t4113345
The shutter button works in Lineage OS, but is broken in Havoc. But you can use the double tap to open camera gesture.
Also Gcam Go is a lite version of Gcam with only portrait mode (not yet working) and HDR+ available. Hopefully more features will be ported by developers.
Night light is available in both ROMs. Others I have not tried.
Hopefully this helps.

Thanks a lot. That's very useful.

Hi again. I noticed one can install LOS17 starting from the latest (and probably last) firmware. I assume this entails losing DRM keys. Are they worth saving anymore?

As far as I know there is no photo comparison album comparing camera quality going from a DRM restored firmware and non DRM restored firmware so I don't know how much of a difference it makes.
But the ROM developers do recommend backing up DRM as it is might come in useful in the future or if you want to go back to stock. Based on what I have seen in the Lineage OS thread it is unknown why the camera works without DRM.
I would recommend backing it up since once it is lost it is lost, and restoring it to the official firmware before flashing a custom ROM guarantees that you have the best possible camera quality.
As addition info:
As far as I know there is no way to re-lock the bootloader which might make it harder to sell it so if you are planning on selling I would not recommend unlocking the bootloader.
Otherwise, happy flashing!

Wise advice about the drm. Thanks again.

I made the switch to LOS 17. It took me some 5 hours to downgrade to Oreo, save DRM, switch back to Pie and then install a fully-working LOS (the first two installs generated some issues with both cameras - the stock Sony did not focus or take photos at all, while the stock LOS was not saving pics - and with the SD); but it then finally worked (procedures followed were the same every time, go figure).
Also, I lost my attest keys in the process of downgrading to Oreo (although I did remove all persist and *.ta files before flashing); and the camera was black after this downgrade - but then the procedure worked eventually and the camera came back fully featured in Pie, somehow. Again, go figure.
All in all, I am happy for the switch and the LOS 17 is absolutely great. Will definitely buy modpunk a beer.
Now, if only there was an equally good procedure and ROM for my other phone, the xz2c, which Sony ruined with the upgrade to Q .
Thanks once again for the encouragement.

Hey, what is the native camera app you have on those? Is it good? I've got a global rom on my cc9 meitu edition but the native camera app on the global sucks big time, it is not nearly as good as they native camera app that came installed on the original Chinese stock rom.

Native camera is AOSP version. I do not use it. I am using gcam 6.2 because this is the newest version which works in a11 without buffer fix. When buffer fix will be fixed for a11 I will use better.
The native camera from MIUI is able to install. You can found both los 18.1 and camera on telegram.

I'm kinda of a newbie, is it simple to install it? Gcam, I mean.

I use MGC_6.2.030_MI9SE_V4_plus2.apk . Install, set rights and use.

Thanks man, I appreciate it. It worked.
And indeed it's a good camera, even though I am comparing now with the exact same phone stock version camera app that my brother has and is much better, I don't know why.
But the Gcam will do for now, so thanks.
I have a question: is it possible to adjust the shutter time? It's taking like 3 seconds to shoot the photo when I shoot it. Know what I mean?

Many gcam version are prepared. This one is without configuration file. When we will have working buffer fix , we will have much better and newer gcams.

I hear you. Is there any newer version of gcam available as of now? For our phone?
EDIT: I just realized Gcam takes pics only with 12mp max. Since my phone has 48mp, how do I fix this?
Also, the colors on photos in Gcam are washed, no vivid color even though I set the saturation to maximum on settings.
Also, is it possible, via TWRP, to uninstall the native camera app and install the APK from com.mlab.cam that came stock on my phones stock firmware?

We have some or many but for A10. I have written, we do not have working version of buffer fix for a11.
You can find a lot of XML config files for many gcam on telegram. Each separate prepared for different situations .
The camera in customs is an app and possible to uninstall normal way, is't it?
No need to uninstall, you can install in twrp what you want.

Mate, thank you very much! I finally managed to get it working properly. On the telegram group someone gave the directions to install the buffer fix and now I was able to download the latest Gcam, and it's working like a charm (except for the slow-motion video, which isn't available on the latest version).
Big thanks from the heart, mate. Have a good one.

Do you use android 10 with buffer fix for a10, or use a11 with bf for a11 or use a11 with bf for a10 ?

Using A11 with BF for A11.
I've installed 3 different gcams. These are amazing apps, I'm greatly surprised by the quality of the photos now. Even night photos are amazing.

Nice.
I discovered, enabled AFWall+ xposed module kills BF work in a11.
