A camera made mi5,will someone to port it to mi5s? - Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers

https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/development/app-t3529722
There is a function,X-HDR,of this camera app.The pic it takes is very near MIUI HDR.
The version M4.1 is working but sometimes FC,and M4.3.3 can't open on mi5s.
Is there someone going to port this app to our devices?

I'm using this cam. It works well on our device. ?

Can you use the M4.3.3 version?

4.3.3 broke my camera on RR.

The new version works very well. Btw, I'm using MIUI.
Didn't try it yet on Los based roms

Are you using 4.3.3 or 4.4.0? I'm using MIUI 7 by xiaomi.eu, and all camera apps can't connect to camera.
I'm not sure about it, as I manually put files in system and added the persist.camer.HAL3.enabled=1 to build.prop.
But I guess the system/etc/msm_8998.xml could be different from 5

I'm using the v4.3.3.
I also experienced that before because of editing the build.prop. All I did is just reflash the rom and install the camera manually.

I extracted the apk from 4.3.3 archive. Work on RR but some features doesn't work like panorama.

That's not the build.prop issue. I kept that line and it's still working. Just delete system/etc/msm8996_camera.xml before flashing and it's working.
msm8996_camera.xml contains the string imx 298, which apparently indicates it's only for Mi 5

If you just delete system/etc/msm8996_camera.xml before flashing panorama is working for me (though not sure if correctly). The one which takes 5 photos to allow you to focus again never worked for me. This is the only feature that snap dragon camera actually attracts me

Thanks ! Works well with new 4.4.0.
Currently I found that this app is usefull only for X-HDR mode. Photos is really closed to Stock Miui App quality.
However, panorama photos are very ugly, Ubi focus doesn't work, etc...
But it's a good improvement for our device.

I usually use 3rd party camera apps. There are mods like https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5s/development/mi-5s-camera-2-api-fix-t3622901 and https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5s/development/light-patch-t3616788 which might make los have better libraries (drivers) than stock . I wonder when using 3rd cameras, if los is a better choice. Los (cm) usually lacks some functions compared with stock rom(miui), but it seems now more people prefer los. I was thinking moving to los, but I like the back up apps in miui, and I don't know if everything's working on los

4.4 0 keeps crashing, I now installed 4.1 which works pretty good. Is there a post which explains the various features? I dont know what "X-HDR" is, for example. Also, what settings do you use?

Why can't Sense Roms control softkey backlights...

while cm7 and other AOSP roms can, either directly, in display brightness settings, or through apps (screen filter, Moon + reader etc)? The same apps don't work with the softkeys in sense.
Am currently on cm7, mainly because of the darn softkeys blinding me while reading or watching vids.
And is there a camera app for cm7 that does auto focus, like the HTC camera app? And how about internet pass-through?
It seems I need a combination of both types of Roms!
Have you tried the Miui Camera? I was using it with CM7. It's pretty nice, has Autofocus as well as Antishake.
It can be installed as a system app and replace the stock camera (rename the apk to camera, and place in the system app folder and change the permissions. or just install as a stand alone app. I chose to replace my stock camera.
If you have any issues, let me know.
Thanks!
I'll give this app a try!
Mine must be broken because they are hardly blinding.

I just installed it! First time I had a chance to use the barcode scanner.
Nice app! Is there a way to zoom in using video? And can I use the front camera with it? I haven't found an option for that, so far.

I don't know of any way to zoom on the video.
I have the front facing camera option on the left hand side of the screen near the top. It has a camera with arrows around it. I'm not sure if it is on the version I linked though. I've switched back to the Miui rom and using the lastest version 1.9.9 which has the front facing camera option (works for both camera and video)... I can try and pull the apk and see what happens if I flash it to CM7 later...
Thanks! I would appreciate this very much!
PS: I'm still hoping someone can explain why there is no control over the softkey lights in sense roms.
For example, screen filter and Moon + reader can both turn them off using AOSP roms, but the same apps cannot in Sense roms.
Is this something that is easy to add and nobody else wants this function, or is there something in the sense roms making it hard to incorporate?
Tried flashing the camera from the latest Miui build (1.9.9) in CM 7... no luck, just force closes.
I'm sure there may be someone out there that knows what needs to be modded to make it work. I wish I did...
I'll enclose the apk if anyone wants to try to mess with it.
Thanks a million for trying, Don!
No problem. Good luck on the backlighting.
I enjoy being able to kill mine when reading books. It's a nice feature to have. Crazy that on the sense based roms that dimming the display doesn't effect the soft key back lighting like it does on the Aosp roms Crazy..

The Fixed2 version doesn't have FFC support. There is also a TEST1 version which has enabled the FFC for some. The link in my signature will take you to the post about Fixed2 but it also links to TEST1. I'm currently working on the version from 1.9.2 so if you want to try it out, PM and I'll give you the download link. The only reason I'm not just posting for everybody right now is so people on various devices/roms give feedback about what needs fixed and tweaked.
As far as why we can't take the app right from MIUI and have it work is because it's dependent on pieces of the MIUI framework. Basically, to make it work the apk needs to be decoded and have some of the framework added to it. Would be a lot easier if MIUI was open source.

Ignore! [MOD] Arnova8G2's gcam mod 6.* for Pixel

This thread is no longer relevant. Please use the infinitely better alternatives our there, for example cstark's.

If you try to install Arnova's version, it will fail due to conflicts with the original GCam. This is just a cloned app that can be installed on Pixel/Pixel XL.

Arnova's version has some of the pixel 3 functionality enabled for other phones (like portrait mode and focal length changing after taking a portrait mode photo). If you install the non moded version, you don't get portrait mode or h256 encoding for videos (and more).
None of the v6 based moded gcam apps on the site you link work on Pixel due to their manifest, which is exactly the same as the original app (preinstalled on pixels), forces an update of the original app, update which fails as it recognizes that the moded version is not really a qualified update for the original one
I installed it on Pixel.. CameraNX captures much more beautiful photos.
More saturated and brighter
Working great . Thanks for compiling it.
Will you update whenever Arnova updates or wait for stable builds only?
Does it has top shot, night sight, super res zoom, motion auto focus, photobooth, etc all the features in pixel 3??
Will it ever get it?

Apk from apk mirror installs perfectly but This Arnova mod is not. App cloner seems to solve this problem.
Newer version available. Nothing exciting yet. It's more stable than the previous version. Night mode and photobooth options are there but not really doing anything. Also I am unable to get topshot to work so if anyone has been able to kindly share.
Note: Use App Cloner from Playstore to install
Can't share the link since I am new here. Just Google 'Arnova GCam' and download GoogleCamera_6.1.009.215420794-beta-1.apk
Silly question, but is it possible to download the newest Arnova app without updating the stock cam and without app cloners?

I updated my stock camera with the 6.1 APK taken from the Pixel 3 that can be found on APK Mirror and it replaced the one that came with the system.
Then I downloaded the one from the Google Drive link on the first post and also works and installs as CameraP, but has a little bit of an issue with WB.
Do the new releases try to overwrite the stock Camera?

Yes.
So you have to install using AppCloner. I can't share links or otherwise I would have shared the apk with you guys.
The newer version is much more stable. Seems almost perfect except for the zoom. You have to tap the plus button to zoom, if you pinch zoom it will crash. Also, HDR+Enhanced is giving some next level low light shots. Portrait mode seems better than Camera NX. No Top shot, night sight, Photobooth for now.

I never used AppCloner. Does it require root?
Edit: I've checked over the Play store and there are a lot of app cloning Aps. Which one do you recommend?
Can you provide either a play store link or the exact name of the app and Dev so we can try this new GCam port.
Thanks!
EDIT 2: Never mind the link. I got it from APK Mirror. I installed the camera but the viewfinder was really laggy and the phone started getting really hot. So I just uninstalled both, the Camera and AppCloner.
Did something similar happen to you?
I don't like the idea of installing app cloner. Hopefully there will be a way to install it alongside stock app

Not really. Pixel does get hot occasionally though. And both cameras you mentioned are working pretty well on my side. I am loving the Arnova's version and can't wait for the next release.

[DISCUSSION] What Google Camera are you guys using?

Since the old thread aren't responsive anymore, here's a new thread. You can discuss and share anything about Google Camera for Redmi 5 Plus, including the version you're using, the bugs, the fixes or anything else.
Btw I'm currently using back.rider's latest Google Camera. It works pretty well on my device.
Download: https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/GCam_6.1.021_N7P_test2.1_defaultjpg.apk
Bugs: Photobooth aren't working, front portrait aren't working, HDR+ and HDR+ enhanced aren't working.
Fixes: Idk if there's any fix for our device, but if there's anyone capable of making a fix by editing the .lib file, that would be good too.
Hopefully everyone can contribute something in this thread.

Saneklic one has green tint on the rear camera, especially if u tap the shutter rapidly. You'll see green tint bug in the photo viewer. :crying:
I think that the green tint bug happens on all gcam version 5.1, no matter who's the developer. I tested gcams from almost all developers but none really fixes the green tint bug.
However, changing to gcam version 6.1 does make a difference. There's no more green tint bug, but the front HDR+ and portrait mode won't work (until the future update from xiaomi fixes it or any developer edit the lib file in the system folder). At least, it's good for daily use
I'm using GCam-5.1.018-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.3b1.apk after playing around with saneklic and arthur versions, Arnova is the best.
Strange i never had any green tint

make any small change in the app settings, for example toggle camera sound or save location button and the tint will go away. its an quite a common issue and easily fixable.

Use san1ty's GCam 6.1.021 for potter. Works flawlessly except for front cam HDR (omnivision).

That's so strange asking for this, because it is so simple to test it at your ease.
This is a simple APk to be installed and removed simply if you don't like. it is NOT any deep system modification that can raise questions...
Gcam is a must on my phone.Installed the first day for testing.

That's not the case! I don’t own the device yet. But if I get positive feedback about this aspect that might change pretty soon. Normally you get better result with GCam on top of custom ROMs. But that may vary. That's why I wanted to be sure before buying & not regret afterwards.

Two issues I found were:
1. The slow motion isnt working with the latest MGC GCam
2. Images on the front cam are only 4-5 megapixels (20mp on stock)
Everything else is great though. The main cam has more detail in GCam than stock

[MAGISK] OnePlus Camera for ROMs without it

This is my first time making a module, so it's probably held together with tape compared to other modules made by competent people.
A simple module, just installs OPCam and needed dependencies. I've only tested this on the Derp A12 ROM, and it works fine.
Macro mode doesn't show up, I've no idea why, if you do, let me know and I'll update it.
DOWNLOAD:​
opcam.zip
drive.google.com
CREDITS:​@topjohnwu
XTENDED XR-vX.r team as I pretty much just looked through their ROM to see what files they used to get OPCam working.
The app seems to crash when I open the video function, and only when using the normal camera.
It works fine with the selfie camera but the second I switch the app disappears.
Using latest derp. Any advice?

But is it possible to make a zip that is flashable from recovery instead?
Thanks a lot, this is working well. Portrait mode works great as well. I prefer GP over the OOS Gallery app so I disabled it, but everything works great, just had one question. Is this version latest for the 7tpro?
