Modded Google Cam on Mix 2

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):

My Autofocus works with HDR+ on, I got the APK from the mi 6 thread (b-s-g camera).
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74513338&postcount=184

Any improvement in low light? What about portrait mode with the mix2? Is it working?

any sample images?

Ok, I've been testing the kenzo build, but same error, autofocus stop working with HDR+ on.
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

As can be seen, the HDR+ post processing is very much better than MIUI original.

For slow motion, I recommend Open Camera. It's slow motion is much better than stock camera.

Working on Nokia 6.1 Ta 1050 too.
Wery nice!

Where is the lens blur option???

@sydaquib77
Yes Lens Blur is present and working.

No issues, everything working perfectly for now

I'm using V8.3 build 5.1.018.177624777 without problems. Should I remove that and then install it? Also what changes are present between the version I'm using and this? The existing version is working great, and the reviews for this current build have been mixed based on the comments here. Please guide.

v 8.3.b1 is the most stable till now, albeit without night sight.

I think 4k video recording has EIS support in the app. As the video is getting cropped in when video stabilization is enabled. Can anyone verify it

Only the Viewfinder is stabilized and not the actual video. The video recording which is saved is without EIS. as our hardware doesn't support 4K video stabilization.

GCam 6.1 for Huawei P Smart (2018)

Hello everyone! Before starting this article , I would like to say that this Gcam port doesn't belong to me. There are multiple developers that worked on this , i'm here just to share the link and my experience with it.
"Story" :
Anyways , I've had my P Smart for a year now, And I mostly bought it for the camera.
After using it for about 7 months , I really saw how poor the processing is on the stock camera app. So I decided to look at some solutions to my problem.
One of the main problems with the stock camera for me was the "Portrait Mode" and "Wide Aperture". They were really bad on EMUI 8.0 and they are just as bad on EMUI 9.1. And well, Here is Gcam to solve the problem
My experience with it:
I've been using this Gcam port for a while and I can say that it is amazing.
Things that work really well:
-HDR,HDR+, the zoom is waaay better
-Portrait mode works like a charm and looks very good (only works on humans, not objects)
-Video Recording (also you can easily stabilize the videos from the Google Photos app)
-Photo sphere
What doesn't work:
-Night Sight
-Slow-mo
-Panorama
-Taking a photo with no HDR
What kind of works :
-RAW ( has a really weird green tint on the pic)
Photos:
All of these photos were taken with the stock camera (Emui 9.1) and Gcam
1)Stock Camera, Normal mode, No zoom
2)GCam , HDR+ enabled, No zoom
3)Stock camera , Normal mode, Full zoom
4)GCam , HDR+ enabled ,Full zoom
As you can see , the dinamic range is way better on GCam
VERY IMPORTANT!!
Settings before you use it!
The default settings are wrong. You first need to go to "More" then "BSG settings" and then set the saturation as you like , otherwise the photos look dead
And well , here is the link Just like I said , THIS MOD DOESN'T BELONG TO ME!
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/MGC_6.1.009_MI8_V1a.apk
Like this post if this helped ya , Have a nice day

I've been using this for a long while got it from honor 9 lite forums. Here are the settings that I use. Front camera isn't very good though always makes lights pink and even rear camera sometimes does it but I try to fix it in snapseed.
If you do have good settings for front cam let me know!

Well , the saturation settings don't really matter , it's about preference,
But I think it's some sort of glitch from the app itself, and to avoid the glitch , you always have to focus on the point where is the most light. here are my setting tho , and an example of the pink tint on my p smart

I cannot seem to get video to work, everytime I try the app just closes. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Google camera 6.1 for Mate 9 (emui 9.1)

Guys I have tried a few versions of Google Cam and found a working version from celsoazevedo gcam portal.
The google cam version is 6.1 and works perfectly in emui 9.1 except night sightand portrait mode.
[MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-TlnNeun_Urnyx05-v4.4.apk ]
* Working - photo, video, photo sphere(to replicate wide angle images), lens blur, raw images, hdr+(its enabled but not too sure if works perfectly)
* Not Working - Night sight, Portrait (need to check configuration)
** make sure to change viewfinder format to YUV_420_888 and disable motion photo (if camera crashes after any changes and shows black screen restart phone and change config)
** Base config- back camera Pixel 3XL
Front camera Pixle 2XL
config Pixel2018 HW Zsl HDR

Great tip, FYI NightSight can work (not crash) if you enable Advanced->FIXES->Buffer fix....BUT it doesn't actually capture a picture
I can see a difference when I enable 36 frames for HDR+ else....not that much.
Also, the secondary back mono camera is never used

yeah even I realized the HDR+ mode has only a slight difference even with 36 frames, unfortunatly the mono cam cannot be used just used only by the emui cam
