Which ROM is the best for photos? - Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers

I think the chinese stable rom should shoot the best, but which custom rom shoots the same?

If you want the best photo quality, go and buy a DSLR...
BTW: That's not the right section for questions

Since almost all custom ROMs for the MI 6 use the standard MIUI camera app it really doesn't matter which ROM you choose.

Does it all come down to the app though? Surely the missing MIUI libraries in AOSP ROMs negatively impact on picture quality.

i see the camera on Mi Note 3 has hardware same as Mi6
so why the photos taken by Mi Note 3 better than Mi6?

Mi A1 Camera app port on AOSP Mi6

As dual camera app with all it's features is available on AOSP Android One Would it be possible to Port it on AOSP Mi6 Custom ROMs?
The camera is made by Xiaomi and has Xiaomi UI, it is very similar to the one on Mi6.

Sorry, I misunderstood.
Yes, I assume that this would be possible when A1 kernel sources will be released as well, anyway is a great news
Remember that Mi6 still doesn't have kernel sources, Devs are limited untile they get released.
I also want this!!

MI 6 vs MI A1

Hello guys,
I need your honest opinion.
I need to get a new device. I only use blackberry old phone at this moment.
I am thinking of mi 6 or mi A1? Which one do you think is better?
I am thinking a1 for the price and stock android (what I love with oneplus before) but I like also to have snapdragon 835 and EIS for camera.
EIS also affect the quality of normal photos or videos only? I have shaky hands by the way.
Please advice.
Pricing:
mi a1 = 749 aed
mi 6= 1399 aed
Thanks guys
Mi 6 is better
Buy Mi 6 and install custom rom if you like stock.

Which custom ROM would you recommend? I couldn't find any with a battery performance and camera as good as the original one...
Mi 6 is flagship grade. A1 is midrange grade. The answer is very obvious.
imo
Brother! I have both the me A1 and the Mi 6 and the MI6 is so awesome and way better than the A1. Don't get me wrong, I like the A1 but the Mi 6 is so much faster and has many custom roms. If you look for the Mi A1 right now in the XDA forums there are no ROMs as of yet! The size of the Mi 6 is also much better than the size of the A1! I promise you brother!! You cannot go wrong with Mi 6!. It is an absolute pleasure to hold and to use!! And the dual firing speakers makes this a special beast! I personally love the MI6. I am selling my Mi A1
mi 6 is the best choice bro, good luck
Yep I had both the mi 6 was smaller in hand and snappier. Battery life similar on miui. Cam was also better
Mi6 my choice
I'd say if stock is more important to you and you dont mind weaker hardware - Mi A1.
You can install custom rom on mi6, but there will be bugs.
When my nexus died, I needed a replacement phone quick and A1 was not available. Having played with mi6 for a few month now, I'd probably bought A1 if I had a choice... or OnePlus5

Basically two reasons:
I used custom aosp rom on nexus 4 when official support ended and while it works, you need to jump through some hoops to get everything working and wipe the phone (cba).
There is no Oreo roms. Updates will be late at least and most likely there will be bugs.
I know I should just get a pixel, but google has some issues with displays it seems.

Regular sized pixel 2 display is fine. Just the XL if seems.
So don't let it put you off.
Gf has it and is very happy and it is a little bit better than my mi 6 for software updates etc.
Performance is barely better like scrolling in chrome looks nice but google on Google will always be better with their optimizations.
If you need a performance device get one with the SD 835 its an amazing chip.
Blazing fast and no heat even on custom ROMs on Mi 6

Mi Max 3 Gcam HDR+ vs Mi Max 2 Gcam HDR+?

Hi, was wondering if anyone could do a Mi max 2 Gcam HDR+ vs Mi max 3 Gcam HDR+ front and rear camera comparison? I would like to see the maximum potential of these two cameras to see how much it has improved and whether I should get this or just keep the Mi Max 2? Thank you!

Only a few people may have both of these phones and even fewer probably use gcam on them so I would not be to optimistic about someone posting a comparison. I have used the gcam mod on many different devices from Xiaomi and the results has more or less been the same. I would guess that Max 2 and Max 3
produce very similair results when using the gcam mod. Photo quality from smartphones are like 90% software optimization and 10% camera hardware quality.

Not at all. I owned a Redmi 5 Plus and Huawei Mate 10 at the same time. I prefered the low light photos from 5 Plus with gcam even tough Mate 10 has way better camera hardware.

It's true, I guess it was worth a shot. I'm only asking because I checked the mi max 3 vs pixel 2 gcam comparison on XDA the other day, and IMO the mi max 3 was better than the pixel 2 in almost all the shots, I was shocked myself, so I wanted to know if it improved by a lot when compared to the mi max 2.

In January I posted a comparison between Redmi 5 Plus and Mi 5S, using the ported gcam app on both phones.
https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/albums/72157692005458944
Even though Mi 5s has a "much better" image sensor, the photo quality was very close IMO. The reason? As I said earlier, the photo quality from smartphone cameras is mostly about software optimizations.
IMO all phones produce more or less the same results when using Gcam and HDR+. You may find minor differences here and there, but not any large differences.
I'm waiting Max 3 6G/128G. As I know Max 3 has all Samsung camera sensors which are more compatible with GCam so result will be better. HDR+ processing speed also improved on higher performance Max 3
I got both phone. And also the third one, the mi max prime, first of all! ^^.
All are rooted. But i'm in vacation. So... You need to wait. But I can allready said that mi max 3 cam is more more capable that cam of the mi max 1...

The stock one. I have trouble with magisk module and i'm unable to install camera2api...
I have both Mi Max 2 and 3, both with GCam installed (but different versions)
The Max 3 has more/different GCams available (that don't crash), and thus has better quality

You should do yourself a favor and install a custom OS anyways, and have your phone rooted
One of the reasons I prefer Android is rooted apps that give me a more pleasant experience, like Adblock, custom keyboard add-ons, Xposed
It also takes 1 second to apply the Gcam patch if your phone is rooted

MIUI is getting alot better these days with all those extra features too.
we pretty much only need a custom kernel to squeeze more juice / performance from it and that's it.

Coming from a Oneplus 5T

Is worth it change my phone to a Mi 10t lite ?
I send my Poco F2 pro and keep , Redmi note pro 9 5g! Its not so important CPU . there is no big difference , but the rest, fresh rate , 108 mpx camera, fingerprint sensor on side.. phone is awesome for me .. I win it on Mi community on same game , and I got Chinese version. I was thought that I will get regular note 9 pro , and start looking for buyers to sell ,but when I open the box and see 9pro 5g, totally change my mind.
i was have Poco f2 pro about 6 monts and it sas time to move on.. this is the first 730g series CPu that I get but do the job,it not so import , camera is a beast...and thats why I like a like it ...

these mi phone with their heavily skinned stock rom are not making any sense after installing a custom rom or rooting as its not increasing any performance and more over that its causing more trouble than solving a few. it makes more sense to stick with a minimalistic stock rom providing brand.

How can you justify not having better performance in custom ROMs with MI devices?
I'm running a Mi10i. I hate MIUI because of how bloated it is. And unresponsive.
Switching over to something like AOSP really did help the device maintain its speed and battery life.
