Created this thread to share working settings for our Mix 2 + IMX 386 on the latest Modded Google Cam. Feel free to share your working setups for Google Cam
Version Google Cam V4.0
ROM: Xiaomi.eu 9.22
Settings: See picture attachments below
What doesnt work:
HDR+ with Flash On
Autofocus
Tap to focus
Manual Focus Fix:
Swipe left to go into video mode and tap to focus before going back into picture mode
It have the same main camera sensor as Mi 6 which also do not have autofocus and touch to focus to work.
It's quite annoying when it doesn't have HDR+ and autofocus together, hope it can be fixed in future version

You can manual focus using this workaround: Swipe left to go into video mode and tap to focus before going back into picture mode
Does the new version of Google GCam mod support Autofocus yet?
Has anyone tried the Google Camera v5.1 yet?

I tried to install google camera,installed successfully,but stop working. keep give me error. so I can not run it.
If you want to test the latest versions for Modded Google Cam, check the MIi6 thread related to this, there are regular updates as soon as they are released by the original modders:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-6/themes/google-camera-hdr-t3655762
What I found out: The Oneplus Camera also works on Mi Mix 2.
Also I think this is the original thread for the modded Google Camera: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/modded-google-camera-hdr-60fps-video-t3658552/ and it works for the Mi Mix 2 too.

Does not work for me. Are you on miui or custom rom? Which version of gcam worked for you?
MIUI EU ROM and Magisk + Camera2 API Enabler Magisk Module
how is the mix2 with this, any samples? im considering this because ive had enough of the s8 and want pure android with the performance to boot, where as the s8 just doesn't cut it but the camera is amazing
Autofocus doesnt work with HDR/HDR+ enabled. The camera works fine with auto focus without HDR features. I HDR+ is the reason why you want this mod then we are out of luck, its no better than the default MIUI cam.. may be a tad better NR processing on low light images.

Are you sure auto focus works for the default cam app when having HDR enabled? It doesn't at least for me. Thus I see no difference between GCam mod, Oneplus camera and default camera. Also, manually focusing seems to work without the left swipe.

So, I am writing this based on my experience on my Mi6 (Mi Mix 2 still has a locked bootloader for now), when you activate the HDR+ the autofocus will die, at that point you focus in Video mode, go back to Photo and take the picture.
In that way the HDR+ is working properly and as expected. You just need to keep your hands steady.
Also, on Mi6 has been reported that the Autofocus is working now with the latest version (with some bugs and messing around with the OmniVision module):

By the way, I think anyone must work on this for our device... the differences betweet photos taken with MIUI camera and Google Camera are very big...
This is with Google Camera on HDR+
This is with MIUI Camera on HDR

Hello N6P users, I succeed in getting the ZSL HDR+ works on Nexus 5X, as Nexus 6P has the same camera hardware and better SoC, I'd like to ask someone test my mod, to see if the function works.
What's ZSL HDR+?
ZSL = zero shooting lag, means you won't get camera freeze after taking a HDR+ auto shoot. it is build-in the Google Camera 4.2 and only works on Pixel phones, now I force the app using Pixel configuration, it should perform the same ZSL HDR+ shooting on Nexus 6P.
Details about the ZSL HDR+.
ZSL-enhanced For 8.0+ only, ZSL HDR+ For 7.1.1+ only, Android 7.0 users please use NoZSL version.
APK was signed by ZipSign using my own signature, it won't replace your default camera app, it will install as a normal app, with a different camera icon.
Last Update
03/24/2018 V7.4
Base on Google Camera 5.2
1. Bring back HDR+ on Nexus 5X/6P.
2. Add Lens Blur mode.
3. EIS should be back to normal on Pixel 1, as EIS will be disabled with 4K quality with official version.
4. Active Google photos combination to view results again on enhanced version.
Details and download link for V7.4
01/02/2018 V7.3.1
Bug fix version
1. Fix abort HDR+ process FC problem.
2. Fix viewfinder flickering issue.
3. Add ZSL version for Android 7.1+, the previous one should be ZSL-enhanced version.
Bugs:
1. smart-burst always mark the first photo (ZSL-enhanced version).
2. Autofocus won't work after manually focus, need lock then unlock the AF/AE lock.
12/31/2017 V7.3
Current the new version is only for Android 8.0+, will release the updated version for Android 7.0.
1. Add the most wanted feature, Portrait mode (use Pixel 2's front lens software method, it needs a human face shows up to work.).
2. Remove silence feedback service, crash report service, and the broken Help menu, for faster app launch.
3. Remove Google photos combination, motion photo still works but you need to view it through Google photos manually.
I have named it wrong and this one should be the ZSL-enhanced version, sorry for the wrong package errors on Android 7.1.2
Details and download link for V7.3.1
11/06/2017 V7.2.0
This is bug fix version, not only for Pixel 2016, everyone who is using enhanced version should grab this update.
1. Fix crash issue on Pixel 2016.
2. Fix provider author name mistake leads to a thumbnail generation issue.
3. Motion pictures should be saved with a file name "MVIMG-####-##" right now, it became "IMG-####-##" in V7.1 version, which was wrong, this might mess the G photos when index media files.
Enhanced version users should get the experimental2017 library now.
Sorry, after some more test it seems experimental2017 is not necessary, just install the new version it will be ok.
About the Lens photo editor, it will be available after the picture upload to Google cloud.
10/19/2017 V7.1.0
1. Based on the last Google Camera 5.1.014, add Pixel 2016 phones support (need test).
2. Video 60FPS mode with EIS FC bug Fixed.
3. Motion photos for Pixel 2016 phones.
4. Micro video (Motion photos) EIS use gyro sensor enabled for Pixel (it was only activated on Pixel XL), need feedback.
5. Update icon support adapted icon and regular icon.
6. Disable Motion photos and G-photo integration for Android 7.1.
-- Now there is a new ZSL-enhanced version for Motion photos, G-photos combine, diet smart-burst on Android 8.x.
-- NOZSL and ZSL version will perform the old way while added new face retouching.
-- Bugs: after shooting photos, review it and you will see a black screen, need to wait for HDR+ process, I don't know it is normal or just hardware limited.

Get black screen only on nitrogen rom. But have custom kernel installed
Works great on 7.1.1 even with ElementalX 3.08!! There is some lag when its moving around, the regular camera doesnt have this, but its probably what makes the ZSL possible! There is still some lag with HDR+ on, but none with HDR Auto
btw this is working mint dude. good job. plan to keep it updated? id def choose this over the stock dp'7.1 camera

He said loud and clear this is for dev preview 7.1.1, there is an older version for 7.0, and nitrogen falls in neither of those, because its 7.1.0 !!!
And @op great job, this is fantastic. Now if only 1080p 60fps worked, it would be a dream

Can you try using ex kernel to see if it works? I think its the kernel thing, when we have the 7.1 kernel source we might get it work on 7.0.

Did the lag happen when using the stock camera?
Good to see custom 7.0 kernel on 7.1.1 did not break the camera, I would like to see some one on 7.0 using ex 3.08 kernel can get camera usable.

By lag I meant shutter lag with hdr+ on. With hdr auto, it works like a charm with zero shutter lag. This is all in the NZ Camera

Ah I see. I would like to ask if the zsl also works if you turn off the HDR+ ? As no zsl switch inside the app for N6P, only one for N5X and it is disabled by default...
I force it enable for N5X, but for N6P I dont know if it is enabled or not.
I suppose it is enabled as the bursts mode needs it.

MIUI Camera has a lot more features but Google Camera gives better photo results when properly configured, however Google Camera needs more time to take the photo (assuming you're using HDR+).

Not working :/
I'm using LineageOS 14.1-20180110-UNOFFICIAL-santoni and it crashes when I try to take a panoramic photo and can't enable HDR.
I found a fix on a youtube channel for portrait mode for front camera after a lot of googling. The key is to set a manual iso (idk why) while using front camera. The link to that is here
https://drive.google.com/file/d/16BT6C02pgvO3usJxCe8C0u_sVi9CbMOI/view?usp=sharing
Instruction -
Enable camera2api.
Download app, instalL.
Open settings and then do the settings u like.(i use pixel 2 and pixel 2017 zsl+ ) and other obvious settings( like turning on portrait mode etc.)
After that set the MANUAL FIXED BLACK LEVEL ONSET to 63.50 and enable.
Now everytime you use the front camera you have to turn that left slider (which i think is of iso) to 100 or any other value from auto, then hdr+ and portrait mode in front camera will also work.
This is not my work , i am only sharing it.
Credits to people who made this (arnovag2 ,TCHNO VKKI youtube channel guy etc.)
This is my first post and i dont really know what to add in your posts ,(also not liking typing this much) but i thought everyone should know this fix.
Hit thanks if this helped you.(actually idk what thanks is for LOL)
Cheers!

I agree. I took this one with 8s 1600ISO on the regular camera lens and this was easier to get than a gcam version. Also with manual controls a lot is possible.

I m on havoc os 2.8 pie . About the exif , do I have to upload the original picture? Because this one is from google photo s unlimited backup , so it's resized . I also noticed that , as said in a previous post , gcam can only expose the sensor for 10 seconds in night sight mode , instead of 32 with the original xiaomi s app , so maybe this one could be actually better

i am using miui 12 pie and both stock and gcam are working at the same time .....
both have their advantages....
1. gcam uses pixel binning ( combining ) them
_so your camera is not really using 5mpx ..it is using max pixels merged into a 5mpx output_
_this might give you a good or better looking photo than some 20mpx sensors on some phones
_people use gcam because of Google's theoretical excellence in processing photos *** therefore better photos than stock ... because if you feel.stock has better photos than there is no argument for using gcam
2. gcam mods which allow you to choose to manually force the gcam to use the secondary ( aux ) exist ...you can use it in combo with magisk modules
_dont expect a giant leap in photo quality since our aux sensor is for low light ...and was never meant not even by Xiaomi to act as the main shooter
_stock camera changing between sensors automatically while in gcam.you will. have to.do.it manually _
_VERY IMPORTANTLy ...our aux sensor is NOT api2 compliant only our main sensor ...as per Xiaomi ...so Xiaomi needs to fix that if it can be fixed....that is why our phone isn't released with api2 enabled..
Options:
1. Use magisk module in stock rom to get stock camera
2. Use stock rom to use miui 12 pie to get both stock and gcam working at the same time
3. Use gcam with aux sensor select button in settings to activate it manually in custom rom
4. buy a jasmine or wayne device and donate it to gcam.modder or dev stating your wish that he/she fixes it so it runs how you feel.it should run
I'm pretty certain this info is old and if you looked you'd find all the magisk modules and gcams and mods and info floating around ...
go check out the official gcam mods page for devs working on cams for our device and try them.all to find the one you like best and maybe give them.a small donation
try out the stock cam magisk module to see if it works correctly on custom rom
failing that just your miui with magisk to have it all.
Stock makes great depth of field photos imho
Gcam takes richer photos in general like but if you aren't careful you might run in oversaturation ..more options
_you can enable arcore and ar stickers by magisk mod and using patched playground from gcam mods page
This doesn't seem to be a GCam issue... All camera apps just see 5MP for the front and secondary back camera. It's probably an internal issue with Camera2Api?
