About phone...
Hit some times build number and put your pin.
After go back...
System...
Advanced...
And developer options.
Thats it.

Good job, but is not the definitive camera for our phone. Selfie Camera for the most part of the people is really important.
However an important step for the definitive gcam

These are the instructions to enable developer mode in the phone.
The problem here is that to turn on camera switch in fu24's GCam you should enable the developer option in the app (settings ---> about) but this option is not avaible in the "about" section of the app settings.

The option "Aux cameras settings" does not appear to me

You need to change your SELinux to Permissive.
It's the only way I found that's working

Some tweeks for le 2 for rooted and non-rooted devices

Hi in this I'll give you some tweaks for both rooted and non rooted le 2 devices. I came across these tweaks while exploring the device...
For Non-rooted devices -
1) Enable dolby atmos app -
For this you need to download shortcut maker app from play store. I recommend to use quickshortcutmaker app in this app go and search for dolby and after that go to mainactivity and create shortcut of the app on homescreen via create button at bottom of the app.
2) Do factoy tests on your phone -
For this do steps same as above and in the search box of quickshortcutmaker type factorykit test and then go to app and then create shortcut of the app or click in try to directly open the test app
3) Enable multiple user accounts (guest accounts) in your le 2 -
For this type users in search bar of the quickshrotcutmaker app and then click on settings icon which comes in result screen and then go in the users activity and click on try to open users screen and then you can click on guest user or create your own user (Note - I recommend you to not use multiple users as eui is heavily customised rom so by going form one user to another user may stop some of phones features from working. In my case I logged into guest account but after coming back from guest account my fingerprint sensor stopped working but everything went normal after reboot)
4) Using manual mode (professional mode) in phone -
For this you just need to download bacon camera app from playstore which give you all manual functionalities to work in phone such as manual gocus, manual iso, manual exposure, manual white balance etc.
For rooted phones
1) Enable camera api 2 in phone -
For this trick you need to edit your build.prop file located in system. To do this download buildprop editor app from playstore and type the following line
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1 and then reboot the phone this will enable camera api 2 in your phone then you can use many functionalities of camera such as save raw image files, use manual options etc. Use manual camera app after enabling camera api 2 on your phone it is paid software but you can download it for free from any other website.( default camera doesn't support many manual functionalities)
Thease are some tweaks for your le 2 if you know more tweaks then please wirte them into comments thank you

After a lot of testing I'd place open camera over manual camera cause its more tweakable,gives better results and is free too

Video exposure and focus lock?

Is this possible via the stock camera app at all or I need to look into Filmick (or other 3rd party apps) for such features? Auto focus and auto exposure adjusting constantly when shooting changing scenery/lighting can be a real PITA. Cheers
You can use the pro mode to focus manually and get a fix exposure.

Aaargh... I had thought of that so I had looked in Pro mode but didn't see any relevant video settings (or so I thought). Now when someone tells you it's there it somehow extends your awareness and voila, there's a camera icon on the top right corner that, wow, switches to Pro mode for video
Thanks man!
Is this camera icon shows up when you are in the pro mode? Or where? I can't see it.

Enter Pro mode, to the right you see the normal "Photo shoot" button, above it there is a camera icon, hit it and the button changes to "Rec" button and you are in Pro Video mode.
Haha, I found it, thanks man

This is Gcam 6.2 version, it works flawless, no issues anymore (green tint front cam fixed, Night sight in very low light issue fixed, more)
Link for Download:
www(dot)celsoazevedo(dot)com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog666/
Need some change settings to make app work flawless:
1. Enable Advanced mode in About settings
2.Change Main and Back camera to Pixel 3 XL
3. go to HDR+ control > Fix device session.
-RAW format = RAW10
-Image format = YUV_420_888
-enable "Use Restart"
Link: imgur(dot)com/gallery/KV5JC0W
*For Ultra wide angle*
Just enable "AUX button" in setting , then in viewfinder you will see a new button on the bottom right.
Note: *enable "Light Tail Switch" can fix Ultra wide len in Night sight. But it will make your photo blurry because of not steady while taking photos, this option need to use tripod. You also can leave it enable in setting then just turn off toggle on the viewfinder . (Recommended turn it off)
Everything is working fine now
Because i'm new member in XDA so i can't post with link, sorry for inconvenient.

Camera is not taking photos with hdr disabled and/or with flash enabled. Flowless? No but much better.

Mine work fine, wide/ultra can take video recording as normal, even Time Lapse and Slow motion also work.
But video only can take at 30fr even change to 60fr.
I can't use video too! There's some solution?
EDIT: I swiped cache and dalvik and video recording is working.

Well, it should appear in one of the main sections after you enable the advanced options (in the About menu option). If you've done that and still can't find the option... It's weird.

It still doesn't work. This is what I have:
Code:
vendor.camera.aux.packagelist=com.dual.GCam,com.Wide.GCam,com.Tele.GCam,org.codeaurora.snapcam,com.android.camera,com.google.android.GoogleCamera
Probably because I have LiquidRemix rom?

Any option to use secondary camera in gcam?

I have read about changing vendor build prop and using gcam with aux support. But I can't find gcam with aux support. If someone can shed a light on this/is it possible to activate the secondary camera would be helpful.
the_dise has recently launched v4.2 which supports aux switch with the help of magisk module. However the secondary 20mp camera output is just 5mp due to pixel binning

I've also installed the_dise gcam (he's on 4.3 btw) together with the magisk module but can't seem to switch to the second camera. Does your camera switch has another colour than white?

You have enable auxillary camera in advanced settings. Primary camera setup number by default is 0. Enable telephoto camera and camera number by default should be 2. Restart camera and you will have two white small white buttons to change camera.
And you need to have a magisk module for all of these things to work....so rooted phones with magisk only.

I am actually on Extended UI rom. Gcam works great. No problem. It's a stable rom with Xiaomi parts containing screen vibrance and audio settings which actually is great. Just look for the rom video to get detailed idea. I personally don't like updating rom every 2-3 wks. Instead need a complete stable rom. If you need stable MIUI cam, message me. I have ANX camera luffitys build which is officially now not available. And everything works great in that camera too

I'm on Pixel Experience for a few days now, no need to install gcam enabler, the_dise version works out of the box, aux enabled through magisk also works now, although the second cam is not worth it, I just wanted to test
And off topic again, damn, why have I waited so long on stock, custom is soo much smoother!

{Mi A2 only has a primary lens which has a 12mp sensor and a secondary lens which has a 20 mp sensor on the rear side, it doesn't have telephoto, wide angle, macro, zoom) but still I enabled all of them, after installing the "dmgcaux_v1.zip" file with MAGISK. and still the camera app doesn't give me any options to switch lenses or use both lenses together, when I capture an image it says it's 12.2mp, in all modes, no matter which I choose (night mode, portrait, camera) it captures a 12.2mp photo. And if I cover the 20mp sensor it doesn't effect the camera at all. So, the app is not using my secondary sensor. And there is no option to activate it after enabling all the auxiliary buttons.

How To Guide Camera hidden settings and features

Hi Everyone,
I love the camera of my MI11U. but there are a few tunings that I REALLY HATE!!! one of them is default beautify in selfie and portrait. taking photos of black objects (tried with GCAM which took a perfect shot). and a few minor others.
Searching here and there, I found a way to turn off and on some additional settings like beautify and some other functions. this will help whoever understand all these settings (not me ), so I thought to share this simple method and see your thoughts and outcomes. ***note that there are some settings are in Chinese***.
1 . go to file manager and go to phone storage....
2 . go to DCIM/camera
3 . make a new folder with the name mentioned below....
lab_options_visible
4 .save and exit.....
5 . go to settings and force stop the miui camera app....
6 . now launch the app.....
7 . go to camera settings menu of the app.....you will see new options available in there....
8 . just turn off beautify in portrait mode....
9 . come back....change to selfie mode....tap on the blue star.....now tap on clear.....
Hope this helps everyone to take better photos.
would much appreciate if we can share the benefits of these settings in order to get best results.
Wow, this is amazing. Thx

I am using GCam Wichaya 8.1.101 V1.4
it is not perfect, original xiaomi camera is impressive with all functions and control of device way better than GCam. but GCam is better in some conditions and scenarios like taking a photo of a far black object or photos of people. with Xiaomi, far black objects will be like a void in a photo and no details at all in it, and beautify is so annoying. with GCam, both are better, but colours are less vibrant and saturated.

The reason I made this thread is to share experience and understand what exactly they do. I really do not know any other that beautify in portrait disables it for all camera modes and not only portrait.
I found the following over internet by someone tested them on Mi10 devices, and some features are not mentioned or were disabled with previous devices. hope it helps at a start.
Internal magic tools : activates internal tools to improve the quality of photos and videos.
Face detection : the mobile camera can recognize the face and frame it in a box to improve the result.
Hide face detection frame automatically : this option hides the box that appears when activating the previous option but keeps the improvements.
Beautify in Portrait mode : Activate beauty mode in all camera modes.
Turn on dual camera : turn on dual camera to enhance photos.
Turn on dual SAT camera – currently does not have a user function.
Turn on MFNR : when activated, the device takes 6 consecutive shots which when superimposed and eliminate the noise from the photo.
Turn on SR : with this option the resolution of the image is enlarged as if the sensor of the mobile were larger.
Turn on quick shot animation : activate the quick shot animation in the app.

Thanks for explaining the features.
Thanks for the tip. One of the options I really like to see is the ability to pick the metering type (full frame average, center weighted average or spot metering). Can be quite useful. Seems like center weighted is the default.

Tried on xiaomi.eu latest weekly and didn't work. There is a modded miui cam in a Telegram group. Can't give TG links since some butthurt people hate me and sharing TG links appears to be against the "rules". Just search up "Sevtinge's Mods". That cam got many more options to tweak for, especially the Leica stuff.
