Completely substitute the on board camera app with the Google camera

Help guys,
I am currently using miui 9 beta rom from Xiaomi eu on my Mi Mix.
For the camera, I am getting really amazing results with the modified Google camera apk, the one with ported hdr+ from the Pixel.
It's useless at this point to ever lunch the stock camera, which is really awful.
I use very often the "double click the power button" from lock screen to get into the camera. This however launches the stock camera.
Is there any way to force MIUI to launch the Google camera instead?
Thank you for your help.

try button mapper... or similar apps from store, no root, root or xposed.. depending wich level modification u want...

Hey. I've tried selecting 3rd party cam apps as default to get them triggered by double press to launch(screen off) but however it only launches the stock camera app. I also froze the stock and tried so but no luck. Im on MM build so you can just give it a try by Settings » Installed apps » Defaults(icon on the bottom) » Camera then select Google cam.

I was looking for the same thing a few days ago didn't solve it and moved to ViperOS rom.
Maybe it can work if someone finds a specific MIUI file with the camera path shortcut on it, I have no idea where to start looking ...
So far even button remapper doesn't work for this

You need to enable camera hal3

Can I do this with Super SU or do I have to have Magisk?

Either, then you will need build prop editor with root.

This must be work

Can anyone share some feedback on this app working on custom ROMs for the Mix like LineageOS? With a custom ROM and a better and more customisable launcher like Nova Launcher for example, I think the integration and implementation of the Google Camera HDR+ app will be much better than on the stock MIUI ROM.
Thanks in advance

i tested and works great!
slow motion works only in SD resolution, works nice but yeah 480p, i think would be great if you can change the icon for a rounded one.

Thanks A Lot Bro ✌?✌?✌?

Is it work with RR Remix OS?

Actually,... The Google Camera still the best than this camera. Why's that?
You can see yourself the different.

@pupun47 Did you try stock RR camera with proper settings? Also changes in build.prop?
Maybe this helps for you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73451528&postcount=2 and see "Some tweaks for camera driver"
Let me know.

Camera NX ( Portait mode ) for Redmi 4 prime ( Nougat )

Link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1O9-AVTW5onxl-QpHuVYttRMixCqMNqld/view?usp=drivesdk
Hey guys . As many of you have heard the Camera NX gives full capability of portait mode without having dual cameras . With only one camera you can get Pixel XL like photos with this app .But it has a drawback . It only runs on Android Oreo roms . But I have modified the app to run on Nougat ( 7.0 ) devices .
Bugs: Front camera isn't working on this app but you can use google camera for front bokeh

I can confirm the app works. In potrait mode, viewfinder is a bit zoomed in though.
Also ui is a bit laggy on low light.
Thanks for the mod.

REMEMBER: Google Camera only runs on ROMs with the Camera2 API enabled. IF YOU DONT ENABLE THIS, THE CAMERA FC
TO ENABLE.
- Edit the build.prop:
-- Search for "persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=0" and change it from 0 to 1;
-- If you can't find it, add: persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
-- Reboot

[New][Stable] Google Camera Mod with HDR+ & Portrait

There are a lot of versions of Google Camera Mod floating around on XDA forums for obvious reason - there's no single version that works just fine on all phones.
It also means that not everyone has the patience to test out every version, with every possible configuration. But fortunately, I've found a stable version among all these hundreds of these after trying many of them from different sources.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Update: Mar-2019
Current version (stable):
Pixel 3 Google Camera (based on version 6.1) by san1ty
This is the most recent and stable version available now based on the feedback of many users.
Archived:
Download
Older version (stable): Pixel2MOD V6 Download
-------------------------------------------------------------
Mods by @[B]Arnova8G2[/B]
This thread will be updated whenever a newer version with same/better stability is found (by anyone).
( For a full comparison of the photo quality, stability notes and suggested settings - you can read the article on it )

This works on almost all 8.0+ ROMs as long as they have Camera2 API support and are 64bit builds. Make sure you're ROM meets these requirements.

I use Pixel Experience ROM. Usually when I install a new GCAM it sits along the one provided on the ROM, but when I installed the new minimal version it seems to have overwritten it. Version is 5.2.025

I'm running LineageOS 15.1 and when I'm playing music on Spotify, if I go to take a picture with this camera it will stop Spotify. This only happens with HDR on. I'm assuming this is due to it having to use all the phone resources to process the HDR photo? The load time takes quite a while for the HDR photos too, and sometimes it will just keep loading forever when I try to view the photo.
The HDR-off mode of this camera also doesn't work well. The picture it takes just glitches out at times and is splotchy looking.

gcam minimal is the most stable I have used.

I think it's because of the microphone usage by both apps.

[UPDATE] [Android 10] BEST GOOGLE CAMERA APK WITH NO BUGS

UPDATE: i found a new apk which is working absolutely fine on android 10 roms.
negligible or no freezing issue or shutter greyout issues. (rarely- with flash on pic doesnt click, so turn off the flash and click again)
personally i have tested it on Evolution x, Pixel Experience and Havoc ROM.
Features-
1. it has super-res feature with upto 10x digital zoom. Working absolutely insane?. (attaching sample)
2. night mode working perfectly on both cameras.
2. everything works
Download link- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-ygeRSVc1crIF57D74e9UWwCbkmVFs11/view?usp=drivesdk
OLD............
Edit: use it if you are having same problems listed below.
Suggested rom: AOSP EXTENDED PIE for best results.
Note: also tested on 3gb version
.
Most of the asus zenfone max pro m1(6gb) users facing a problem with their gcam. Problems are:-
1. Sometimes Shutter icon turns gray and doesn't click pictures.
2. Hrd+enhanced settings sometimes crashes.
3. Hdr processing stuck in the middle and need the device to be restarted.
Guide.:-
Either its the android oreo problem or the previous apks problem. But now my version of gcam never crashes or shows bugs as listed.
+ it has google lens support.
I am giving the link of the gcam. apk i am using.
Guys if the problem still happening, try switching to aosp extended pie rom. This rom. Is buttery smooth + g am never crashes even on extreme settings.
Downloads- https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/...B-S-G-based_v.1.0.10_manual_focus_TlnNeun.apk
