google cam 4.4 with hdr+ crashing - Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers

hi,
my mother, aunt and uncle all use the redmi 4x. I installed xiaomi.eu 9.1.2.0 on my mother phone + magisk + api module and gcam 4.4 hdr+. everything works. stock cam, gcam.
my aunt saw the photos and wanted the same so I did. everything the same, works aswell.
now my uncle wanted the same and I installed but with newer version 9.2.1.0. stock cam crashes. gcam crashes aswell. without api stock cam works.
now I updated my mother to 9.2.1.0 too, stock cam stopped working but gcam still works. so how I get the gcam to work on my uncles phone??
thanks in advance

Stock camera stopped beign compatible with camera2api since 7.12.28 update, so every new update has this problem including the latest global stable. Till now the only way to fix this is installing modded miui camera or rollback to miui 7.12.21 or a previous version. For gcam, I'm not sure why it doesn't work in one of your phones, but try this one with manual focus, you can take photos with portrait mode in front camera too.
In fact I was in oreo, but decided to give another try to miui, since oreo still has a annoying bug with multitouch even now that it's pretty much stable. So now I have miui.am. not the official miui. But I can confirm that both cameras work. Only problem for me is that miui camera has less options for some reason, I still need to test. And in gcam everything work just fine, I can use all the options like camcorder, face retouch and portrait mode in front camera without any crash or need to change settings, like before in oreo. Only problem is that you still need to set the iso manually.
Give it a try if you want, this is the modded miui camera: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74893764&postcount=1431
A mirror of the gcam with manual focus, because they deleted the original link: https://mega.nz/#!H5UgUKBZ!wBsXz5fbpPRREooq5-WcNsd0Tdfkit-yQcyOapMo464
And I will attach my settings. Also if you don't mind to much about miui, you can install latest unofficial RR luis build, it has already miui and google camera, and both work fine.
To use portrait mode in front camera, you need to adjust the iso with the left scroll to any value between 800 and 3200. Just don't let it on auto.

mine uncle got it to work but with nexus 6p settings, your settings gives him a black screen. do you have a autofokus version? no auto fokus in videos is noticable.

I have the same version that I posted to you, from the mega link. Tbh I'm not sure what makes some version work on certain roms, while in other doesn't. Im using clarity kernel, but if I'm not mistaken it worked also on stock kernel. On miui eu it worked fine for me too

thats weird that I have 0 problems on my mothers phone but uncle got always 1 problem. I can use your config on my mother and it works. on uncle it's black screen. then he can use camera with nexus 6p config but then front cam not working. I think I read that many xiaomi phones got diferrent displays / fingerscanner / cams etc.

Yeah, that may be the cause. It's common to see the same redmi 4x with different hardware like screen type, fingerprint sensor and even the led, some has only white led when others have full rgb led like mine.
Anyway, check here. There is a lot of gcam's versions. With some luck, one of them will work on your uncle's phone.

Yeah, unfortunately it didn't work well for me too. I tried to see if arnovaG82 would fix it, but seems like not. So righ now I'm on Multipro 7.12.14 build, with little but nice customization, but more important both cameras work fine.
This modded camera seems like it doesn't work well on miui roms for some reason. I tried it on newest and some old miui builds, and neither worked fine. I'm not sure why, I can remember that it worked before. Now only if I flash it on a custom rom it work fine.

Does the Google Camera HDR+ Port work on Mi Mix?

I noticed recently on the XDA page this came up:
https://www.xda-developers.com/google-camera-hdr-customization-raw-support/
It mentions at the bottom of the article that there is a specific version for SD821.
Would this work with the Mi Mix? Does it need API2 enabled? Does it make a difference?
Thanks!
I have google camera v3.7 working with HRD+ but when you enable API2 by editing the build.prop it stops working and crashes
Thanks, does it make much of a difference?
It works perfectly on custom ROM's such as RR, LOS, Viper OS, etc.
I used mainly because of RAW support and Googles HDR+ is really great, definitely worth giving it a try!
Yes.
How do you install it? I get a message saying it conflicts with an existing package.
I uninstalled the existing camera app via titanium but it didnt help.
I am on the latest RR.
Thanks

Mi A2 Stock Camera App

Anyone have stock camera app from stock rom for Mi A2/Mi 6x? I need it for my custom rom
This link should have it for you: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1efwL5y90eDG8ugivIJ_7wkj6LWbWQCJN

I installed the camera app. But it shows app is not installed. And the camera app which was already present was not opening too. Any suggestions? I'm running on 8.1.0 stock rom with August security patches.
Also can I have stock camera working which has effects like mint,maze and others?
Thanks in advanced.?

I'd suggest you do a factory reset, as it sounds like there are problems with your system. I've never used any of those effects and don't know if they are available or not. Good luck.

I just restarted my phone and the camera again works. When I bought my phone the camera effects were there. But when I updated my phone with August security patch the camera effects were changed.

I'm talking about the effects that are shown in the screenshot.
Also I have a complaint about the portrait mode on my rear camera. The pictures are little dull. Again don't get me wrong I'm only talking about the portrait shots. Everything except that is working like charm. ?
I think mi A1 had better portrait shots.

Keep in mind the Mi A1 had different lenses than the A2 does. I'd bet the A1 software is exactly what the A2 is running. So the app is probably tweaked for the A1 (and other of the xiaomi line up).
The A2 is different than other phones in that the aperture of the 2 back cameras is f1.75, where the A1 has f2.2 and the 2x is f2.6. Those are **very** different than the A2.
I'd bet (hope anyway) that Xiaomi tweaks a version of the app for the A2. AND they enable cam2API and EIS! I'm sure many are disappointed in the effort needed to make those work, if you dare (I don't want a permanently rooted phone, I'd like to get the updates).

This is a good start! Thank you !
This is great! Is there a reason why you ported version 5 instead of the newer versions (6.x)? Merely curious.
Excellent, just did a quick test and photos seams sharper with gcam.
- Can you change default app for opening miniature?
- ISO setting don't work
Keep up the great work

Hi! Ma Shao
China Mainland seems to have published nw-a100 and ZX500 Series with android 9 system
Have you tried to extract the app of the player from walkman APP (W.mucis)
For use with XPERIA phones.
What's the difference between the two apks?
Settings works, great!
M-rom you make very good custom ROMs you ever going to make for Xperia 1 I use to have m-rom on my xz premium
Portrait mode doesn't blur the background or am I missing something?

Some minor diffenence in settings.
Not all settings work, have to try some times.
My observations so far are that Gcam images look more organic and with much less artifacts than the stock camera, jpg files are also bigger with more information and hold up to editing better than the ones from the stock camera. The port is definitely worth it and I hope M-rom keeps working on it.
I can't get regular photos to work with either apk. Video works, photos w/front camera work, but can't get rear camera to work. Any tips?
No idea, both versions work for photos for me (on one of them portrait mode doesn't start). I use both.
Can anyone post comparison photos between Gcam and original ?
Portrait mode doesn't work with portrait camera.

Maybe you can check if you turned the "raw+jpg" on or not. I tried this before and it won't work. Turned off then rear camera worked.

These settings are better, night mode works pretty good with it. Also, there are buttons to switch cameras
Use trCamera 7.1 with these settings, newer version crashes

Question Best Miui-Camera?

Hey guys, are there any miui cams?
anx is the most popular one, i guess. is it fully working? and which add ons do we need to get it fully working?
is there also a stock miui cam?
i use a gcam atm, but found out that the 2x /zoom camera isnt´t working properly(focus never correct) so i wanted a miui cam as secondary camera app.
any recommendations?
and if anx, what do i need besides anx cam itself?
thx in advance
The 2x/zoom camera is not focusing properly because it is not a 2x/zoom camera, it is a macro camera that only focuses to around 4 cm. This phone doesn't have a tele camera. If you want to use a 2x zoom, you have to use a digital one or shoot at 108 Mpix and crop.
ah, so 2x is only digital zoom? i thought stock cam had it, but i don´t remember had too many phones in my hand
2x I suppose it's a crop from full resolution or more than the default.
@L-ViZ MIUI camera has zoom up to 10x, but it's all digital, and the macro camera has its own button in the menu (Super Macro). With GCam, it depends on port, version and config - some versions show you 0.6x, 1x and 2x buttons, which represent the three cameras, and so 2x is actually the macro camera. Some versions have 1x and 2x buttons, which serve simply as shortcuts for digital zoom of given level with the currently active camera (with up to 10x available via pinch zoom) and the switching between cameras/modules is done in a different way (and the macro camera might still be referred to as 2x or tele in that case). And then there are also versions which allow you to modify the UI to an extent and rename the individual modules, in which the macro module might be actually called "macro" or something like that.
You can tell quite easily if the button is for a digital zoom or switching to a different module - switching to a different module takes time and effectively restarts the app. Digital zoom is instant, with no pauses/black screen.
@Case_ thx for the datailled explanation
have you tried using the camera apk's found on the stock MIUI? I was able to pull CameraTools.apk and MiuiCamera.apk from mine. I haven't tried them yet, I'm waiting for my 7 days to be able to unlock and try different roms.

How did you try to install the apk? with adb install?
finaly passed the 7 days probation today and was able to flash my phone to Arrow OS 11 but couldn't install MiuiCamera failed dependency on cloud-common.jar and now don't have the original rom installed anymore to get it
@~JL~ I don't think MIUI Camera works on non-MIUI ROMs anyway. That's why ANX exists.
i am using A11, which anx cam is the best and working for a11, just read someone is still using 185R, since this seems to be the best working one. anyone got newer versions and which addons were used? thx in advance
