Gcam or stock cam app with dynamic shots/live photos (like iphone) - Xiaomi Mi MIX Questions & Answers

Hello World!
I have a question/request.
Is there any gcam mod version with dynamic shots/live photos/ motion photos and with frontal flash working (the real flash not the screen) for mi mix 3?
I have android 10, but the stock camera have dynamic shots/live photos/ motion photos missing, i saw other models like redmi 8 or 7 having this option.
Thank you for your help!

Bro please read the post. The versions mentioned in video is not fully functional(even described in video). Overall the points I mentioned its nowhere shown. I personally tested more than 30 Gcam mod including those 2 of video. You can test those sections even on those apps alongside other mod versions found here.
May i know whats the difference between those apk supports and Unsupported config file xml? I m on Stock Rom.. Unrooted, Fully stock. Nothing modified in my device. Which one will work fine?

Use cases of .xml file:
This can be used for a few things. For example:
Quickly switch between the best settings for low light and day light;
Use recommended settings from devs/other users for your phone;
Move between versions without loosing your settings;
Keep unstable features enabled on one config but disabled on another;

All the app mod mentioned above is for stock rom (with/without root,doesn't matter). All will work flawlessly.
What is config file?
Google Camera 6.1 versions support export/import of config(.xml) files, allowing users to use the settings of other users. You can also share your settings with other users to provide them best output. Besides this , you can quickly load different settings for different lightning conditions.
If you don't want to use any 3rd party settings, just use 6.2 versions.
For more info : Read this..
Any updated version for the gcam?
Sir 6.2 version need more stability
Sir 6.2 version of gcam 04.06.19 is great overall but we need more stable version specially in night sight sometimes it doesn't work

Please clear data n cache after installation. There may be little issues in each version as all the apps are modded and not officialy supported.
Thank you.
DotFix for the Realme 2 Pro, by wyroczen.
Needs root and a GCam apk with fixes to reduce noise (apks from wyroczen and some from urnyx). More info on the link above.
Kindly bring gcam for realme 2 pro with no dots effect on photo after zooming and slow mo support...
Thanks...
Firstly, thanks for the camera port...
However, in my case, it always crash at launch. could you please tell what might be the problem? I am attaching a gif image in case it matters.
I am using january security patch update.

GCAM 6.1 front cam pink photo issue

I have note 8 n950F. If I use the gcam apk (Gcam_6.1.021_Advanced_V1.7.190716.1800.apk) with note 8 exonos config, everything works fine except that the front cam takes extremely bright photos and front cam takespink photos. Link for the apk is below
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/Gcam_6.2.030_Advanced_V2.2.190716.1800-Final.apk
I can the brightness issue by modifying iso and saturation values but pink front cam photos are a real problem. I can't get rid of front cam pink photos. is there any way to fix it or is there any other gcam 6.1 apk working for note 8? I am using the gcam config for note 8. There are no crashes but pink color in front cam is the issue

mi a2 gcam front camera only 5mp ?

Is there anyway to use the full 20mp in front facing camera.. All gcam takes default 5mp by pixel binding.. also flash didn't work like stock... It acts like a torch while capturing photo

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?

Question Gcam and Camera performance in OneUi 4 (Exynos)

Has anyone with an Exynos device had the chance to test if Gcam works for all lenses in the new Oneui4? Also, how does the quality of photos seem in the normal camera app?
Gcam wichaya with s21 settings works well, sometimes better then Stock camera, but missing special focus and Max zoom

Question 48 MP IN AOSP ROM?

I have tried Gcam and MIUI Camera magisk module, but none of them allow me to use the full extent of 48MP camera on the device, photos taken in GCAM show up as photos taken from a 12MP camera and the ones taken from the MIUI cam is shown as those taken from a 8MP Camera, how can I use the full extent of 48MP Camera?
Just saying , Im using the Unofficial Superior OS Rom, based on A13

not possible
MIUI cam depends heavily depends from the ROM configurations, MIUI core and libs for it to work. those need to be built into the ROM in default
thats why you get those 8MP shots
on my redmi note 9 pro, ROMs that fail on these dependencies above will take shots of much lower resolution from the 64MP camera, and even worse from the pixel binning (16MP, basically the "Photo" mode in the viewfinder), including the failure of some camera modes, like portrait.
these dependencies need to be from their own phone, so, the redmi note 9 pro has to have its original MIUI camera core and libs, so does the redmi note 10 5g.
ROMs cannot have another phones dependecies or else it would probably be a bricking ROM (if those are built in, same for flashing systemless camera modules sometimes)
GCam is a normal phenomenon, GCam always uses pixel binning.
for instance, the redmi note 9 pro has pixel binning from 64MP down to 16MP.
the redmi note 10 5g has from 48MP down to 12MP, thats your result
64/4=16
48/4=12
this occurence of pixel binning is the process of combining pixels into larger ones, capturing more light and reducing artifacts on the photo. however, most of the detail is preserved, therefore there shouldnt be any issues on the general quality
theres really no possible way of using the 48MP camera sensor to offer a high-resolution image. however, you can use the upscaling function (if it’s available in the GCam port you installed) to enlarge your picture. but take note, it won’t have any effect on the image’s quality and it will remain just like the 12mp one (basically resizing a 2000x2000 picture to 4000x4000), making any gallery app think it is a high-resolution image and let you zoom in.
