I'm an Android and MIUI newb, I really try to get the hang of it, but please, can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong here:
I want to install the apk of GCam and it just doesn't seem to work. I installed the latest version by B-S-G (MGC_6.1.021_Vc_Newlibs) and still the camera doesn't run smoothly and freezes every time I open the app.
I'm running on MIUI 10.1.1.0 stable, my device bootloader is NOT unlocked.
What am I doing wrong?
I'm not certain, but I think you need to root your phone to use Gcam properly.
But one advice: I have custom ROM in Mi 8 which had Gcam (BSG) in it. Not impressed as it is not that stable and as far as I understand, not a single Xiaomi model with Gcam can use slow motion. And I think you also lose optical zoom with it (not 100% sure about that).
I think I'll chance my ui back to miui and just de-bloat all the crap Xiaomi have put in.
I got the same problem with 10.1.1 Global Stable. Gcam is very laggy and freeze
Hm, I don't know....
The only reason I want to use it is Night Sight.
But, on the other hand, I don't want to root the phone and lose all my data.
Hello, same thing here! I'm on MIUI 10.1.1.0 global
Night sight has a VERY laggy viewfinder and pictures is not properly taken (seems to be a normal picture) and takes about 30s
I have Pie Beta 8.12.7 MIUI.EU and the last version, 1d work perfect for me.
Newest GCam Ports only working on latest Betas without problems. For the 10.1.1.0 Release you need to use the Android 8.1 versions of the GCam Port...

Thank you, that makes me hopeful.
You just need to read... you need android 9 with night mode in stock camera app. If you have that you can install latest gcams without issue and no need to do additional steps.

Sorry, but what night mode in the stock camera app? There's no such preference on my phone.

i heard that the camera should be fine on 8.0 but it seems to be slim pickings for oreo support these days.ive tried mostly pie roms on this phone, theres a problem with camera with all of them. ive been using lineage 15.1 oreo and the camera gives almost the same amount of issues. so i guess my question is the camera just going to always give me an issue no matter the version? the lineage oreo also has been noticeably slower than the pie version
this is a same problem speak me and nothing answer, i flash-pixel-lineage the problem are always bluetooth and camera.
the only work well are the port partial xiaomi and the original

Which xiaomi port? And when you say original, do you mean stock?
The bluetooth has been working fine for me but I rarely use it. Camera has been a consistent issue

Heyyo, Google camera mods have been kinda touchy on S2, but luckily nullby has made s2 specific gcam mod ports.
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-nullbytepl/
As for custom ROM support for these? You'll need either a custom ROM that has selinux enforcing policies for it like LineageOS 16.0 (which I did a crapload of work on to ensure nullby gcam mods would work perfectly on with selinux enforcing) or any other ROM port based on LOS 16.0 selinux enforcing trees. Otherwise? Any custom ROM that is selinux permissive.
I recently flashed miui and am really liking it. Enough people don't talk about the port for some reason, maybe they don't like the skin perhaps? It's been the best rom I've tried from what I remember

Which v of MIUI port r u using?
How's the Battery SOT, Stand-by Stats & GCam compared to MIUI stock Cam?
I previously ran ROS MIUI 9.3.21 ROM only to find the Camera crash while trying to take photo and Video call in WhatsApp.
Now I'm on EUI 6.0.030 by Cuoco92 & it's fine. But I'm looking for a good & stable MIUI ROM without crashes but with decent Battery stats and Camera system...
Thanks...

I have tried PE 11 beta already. But the kernel causes issues when flashing Viper4android.
So, which is the best Android 11 custom ROM according to you guys? Does Viper work without breaking wifi? Also, which GCam works perfectly in Android 11?
my current ROM is https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-unofficial-11-0-raphael-lineageos-18-1.4176901/
I don't use viper, so IDK if it works, and I use
NGCam_7.4.104-v2.0 - New Update[10-12-2020]
Apk Link: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog1444/
XML files : https://gofile.io/d/eY1xLD by Mevcetin
for my gcam, USE THE CONFIG ASWELL.
Btw I don't think viper works with android 11 yet no sure tho.

Nice. Viper doesn't work properly. Breaks notification and call sounds. Also breaks wifi sometimes if it's stock kernel. Thanks for the GCam link.
So, do you use any sound mods?

Currently the best a11 rom based on miui vendor will be Evolution X AND WIFI will break on perf kernel u will need to flash any other kernel for it to work.
Gcam i use Urnyx's 7.3 v2.5 as it works as a good replacement for anx camera and doesn't has lot of things to tweak around simple and easy gcam but with less features.

Yeah. EvoX seems like the best A11 ROM right now. I hope there'll be some improvements once MIUI 12.5 vendor is out.
I use the same GCam too. Still waiting for a proper GCam 8

Nah. I don't really shoot videos that often. Right now, I only have GCam and ANX. Tried NGCam, but it crashed at times
Would appreciate if anyone can share their experience with a worked GCam for Mi 11. Thanks.

This one works fine for me
For me it stops showing live screen after 3 seconds and then just stops. Like BSG and other mods.
How does it work for you? Have you used any xml?

Works very well with no crashes so far. There were some that crashed but I just worked my way down the list of recommended versions until I found this one.
Not tried any XML yet. Stock camera quality has caught up with Google's so not much difference
Good news guys. I managed to get a stable GCam without any crashes or problem. I'm using Wyroczen GCam port.

Seems to work, together with Urnyx' 2.5 xml from Mi 10T Pro. Lets wait for someone who adapts xml, because the ultrawide has some texture on it.
Hi,
anybody has a working 8th version mod of gcam here with Mi 11?
Now I'm using 7.4 Nikita v2 and 7.3.018 Wyroczen v2.5, but curious of those BSG 8.1 or UltraM8 mods, they seems to work for a few secs, and then screen freezes. Is there a way to go around that?
Besides, made a quick comparision video of Mi 11 vs old Mi 8:
The Mi 8 in good light altogether with gcam keeps cool against Mi 11. Also there is some samples of Mi 11 shots with native and 3rd party apps.

I've used these two (Mi 10T Pro and Mi 10 Pro, but with some changes for myself), link is there:
Config Files for Urnyx's GCam 7.3.x
Stable settings for Urnyx's GCam 7.3.x with xml config files support.
www.celsoazevedo.com
Now the best result's I've got with 7.3.018 Wyroczen and 7.4.104 Nikita V2. Much better details than native camera app. Night sight like the other phone. But still believe there is room for improvement for main and ultrawide sensor with gcam.
By the way, first version of 8.1 gcam compatible with Mi 11 is out:
BSG: MGC_8.1.101_A9_PV0j
Download MGC_8.1.101_A9_PV0j by BSG.
www.celsoazevedo.com
But I don't see how to enable HDR Enhanced+ option there. And it is still trailing behind in quality than those who I've mentioned (7.3 and 7.4 mods).
Any reports from other users about their experiences?
HDR+ can be enable in the advanced settings.
MGC 8 works before freezing...
Gcam fully working! Needs BSG donate edition for working! Using week everything works we'll!

How I make it a donation edition?
Not working for me, neither 8.1 nor 7.3 with xml....don`t know what to do more. Freezes after seconds...
I get the MGC_8.1.101_A9_PV0j and its works fine on my mi 11.
Guys if you want to %100 working Gcam only donate edition work's.
You can use only on your device that gcam because it generating special id for each device.

What MIUI version do you have, 12.5?
Because I have a global Mi 11 with MIUI 12.0.3 and even with donation version, the image freezes after a few seconds.
There is a new update. Specifically adding support for mi 11 on BSG gcam mod

I am using xiaomi.eu rom ( xiaomi.eu_multi_MI11_21.2.3 ).
Hey whatsup!
Im currently on Pixel Extended 4 Android 12 and the rom is really great. However, I still miss many features from the Miui camera so I want to go back to Miui. Whats the proper way to do it?
Regards
You can flash the recovery rom if you need your bootloader unlocked even after flashing miui but if u don't need that you can flash the original rom from mi flash tool
Thanks alot..i already tried and it worked. Thought I couldnt flash MIUI in Recovery due to encryption. But it worked flawless. I still need to get used to the "slow" experience on MIUI compared to Pixel Extended 4. But I want to use the camera to its fullest content.
Thanks

You can try the European miui rom, it has better speed than the other ones
Im using the EEA europe version right now. you mean the xiaomi.eu rom? Thats even slower and stuttering is pretty common opening apps.
I should have said this earlier but there is an mi camera port called anx camera. But not sure it will work or not
Theres no working ANX for Android 12 as far as I know. And IF, theres no 1080 MP sensor. But nvm..Ill stick with Miui for now. Maybe theres some upcoming stuff in the future.
Thanks
Ok good luck
Hey there hello
So I've been playing around with custom roms for a 1.5 year. I think I have enough experience and now I'm starting to get interested in mods and ports
Idk much about that and I just want to start asking how do I install the Xiaomi stock camera app in my Redmi Note 10 Pro with a custom ROM installed on it.
Also if anyone can explain me what does been "ported" mean thanks

Ported/Porting/Ports means a specific software that only works on selected devices and giving it support to work for other devices.
In the case of your question, Xiaomi Cam, or MIUI Cam, is the default camera application for Xiaomi devices tunes by Xiaomi themselves and only works for Xiaomi devices, with specific features for each devices.
ANX Camera is the port of MIUI Camera that works for Custom ROM and some non-miui based OS. ANX is a Magisk Module too meaning you'll have to root your phone to install systemlessly. Link to the download:
ANXCamera by AEonAX
Download latest ANXCamera, A Miui Camera Port for Xiaomi's Devices, Install via Magisk or TWRP
camera.aeonax.com
I recommend you to use v204 even though it's an alpha release to get the closest camera quality similar to stock. If that doesn't work, try the stable release which are 190R or 185R.
