[MAGISK][APP][FIX]Google Camera with HDR+ on FRONT/BACK, Portrait mod fix and Guides - Xiaomi Mi Note 3 Themes, Apps, and Mods

As everyone was asking for some guides and fixes of the Google Camera on our Mi Note 3 device, I decided to help you out with a guide and all necessary resources to get it working.
First of all, for people new to Google Camera, follow @dimi89 's guide as an introduction to all processes needed to achieve a working camera port.
To make it simple, you need to:
Unlock bootloader
Flash TWRP or boot it through fastboot (there are plenty of guides here)
Install Magisk systemless root through TWRP recovery
Flash my fixes module below to enable Camera 2 API and make front camera working as desired
Install the best APK for you from https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
Be happy
Until now, we had it working but some features like Portrait mode, front camera HDR+ and portrait, plus front camera flash were missing.
With the help of @defcomg I managed to make a Magisk Module as a bundle that does both enabling Camera2API and adds necessary libs to fix the camera. You can download it below.
As per the apk of the GCam on your device, I recommend latest Arnova8G2 version. You can also find it at the bottom of this post. It is great and does not require any other settings after you apply the fix in Magisk.
Downloads here:
-Camera2API, Portrait mode + HDR on front camera fix (MAGISK MODULE) - https://mega.nz/#!M5gjSQxJ!K5Q4XmdRimI_x2xpOWexHR52qUi5sklOV7SVhWWo9RE
-Stable and autoconfig GCam - https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/...eCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V7beta-test-9.apk
For any other questions, feel free to ask me.
IMPORTANT!! The fix for front cam may not work with all ROMs. It was tested on the following:
XIAOMI.EU Stable 9.5.4.0
XIAOMI.EU Stable 9.2.x.x
XIAOMI.EU Developer 8.3.22
Lineage OS
AOSP Extended
You can test it on your device on your own risk. If it does not work you can delete module from magisk.
Credits to @defcomg for the help with the library, @WebDingo for the magisk module and @Arnova8G2 for the amazing work with all GCam ports. Also crediting other developers for their great additions to this community.
Enjoy!

Great job
Great job Gcam now works very well, the only thing I noticed is that is laggy at times in portrait mode. Is it normal?

will it work on my mi5s?

Thank you, its working! Mi Note 3 xiaomi.eu 9.5.4.0

thanks bro for sharing
it works well

Anyone have flash via twrp fix version ?

Thanksss. With arnova v6 (and this beta) works fine. So I've a problem but...you have 60 FPS video? For me is ever 30 FPS and I search in every part of the web the way to have got 60 FPS in full hd. For me is very important. If you know a way, please tell me (also use another new custom ROM). Thanks

Portrait Mode on Nextbit Robin

Hey guys,
Luckily I'm having a Robin, recently BSG mod Google camera is updated with Pixel 2's Portrait Mode. I tried GCamera (V5.1.018) and Portrait mode working surprisingly good on Nextbit Robin. But problem with the Rear camera is that it is not working without Portrait.
Settings i was using:
Conf. Hdr+ : Nexus 6 auto
Model : Pixel2XL
Hdr+ Parameters : High
Can you tell exactly what version did you get?
Are you using a ROM in particular?
I can't get it to work in Lineage OS
Ya which exact version did you install and which ROM are you on?
There are a lot of v5.1.018. A link would be really helpful.
Also you can continue this discussion in the other thread we already have about Modded Google Camera app.

I'm currently running RR-Final with magisk15.3 and both the rom and GCamera are working very well.
The GCMod version 5.1.016 has that portrait mode, I've just combined the two versions and in this mod, only lens blur is replaced with the Portrait Mode and it's working absolutely fine motion photos are too working good.
There's a screenshot of app and mod download link below,
https://www.mediafire.com/file/3n2qed5qs5mhcpz/[N7.1.2]Portrait+mode+GCam+Mod+.apk
Hope it'll work for you guys also. Give a Thumbs up if you liked my work.?

No issues here, which rom you're currently on? Try flashing google camera patch and c2api enabler from magisk, it may help you with that. ?

In order to use the excellent Google Camera features ( HDR+ and etc.) you need to have Camera2 API Enabled, to do that you need root.
Otherwise you can just install some basic google camera with sub-optimal performance.
Does front camera HDR+ and portrait mode work?
I remember my Redmi 5 plus worked in portrait mode but no front cam HDR+
But now my phone is bricked, so I can't test it

Noup, i tried every GCam apk under the sun. No luck.
I can live with that but main reason i keep my stock camera around is because the front flash doesn't work on GCam...

yes, but you should turn off hdr mode in portrait mode
There are 2 versions here. If you use the first version, you will use the portrait mode normally. If you use the second version, during use you must turn off the hdr mode in portrait mode
I just checked it thoroughly. The first version is compatible with all roms. The second version is compatible with MIUI
I have no idea why, but Arnova V2 crashes a lot. I'm using latest EU stable rom.

Wrong. No root needed, just setprop hal3 = 1 in twrp adb shell Mode. Using gcam without root here, miui eu 9.5.4.0
blinking the camera2api.zip the camera stock is uninstalled? If not, how do I remove the camera stock?

Installing Google Camera mods on Nougat ROMs.

For anyone still on Nougat, I managed to get Pixel2Mod to work on my backup AEX 4.6 ROM. Here's how:
1) First, you'll need a root explorer (I use Solid Explorer)
2) Via your root explorer, navigate to root/system. Scroll down until you see the build.prop. Click and open the file using your root explorer's text editor.
3) In the build prop, search for the "persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=0" string. Change the 0 to a 1, save and exit the build.prop.
4) Reboot phone to recovery.
5) Download the ossTWRP zip file from here. Copy it onto your phone's internal memory. Flash via TWRP. Reboot.
6) Download Arnova's Pixel2Mod (I used version 6 for my test). Install as standard. You should now have a working GCam mod on your Nougat ROM. Enjoy!
Feel free to test this with other GCam mods. So far, the Arnova P2 mods are the only ones I've seen to work without issues (e.g: green selfies/portraits).
thanks but OIS not works on Gcam Android 7

Has anyone had issues taking pictures of/from moving vehicles on the latest AEX ROMs? I was on 5.7, and every pic I took under said circumstances with GCam (5.1 Toylan mod) came out super blurry. After reverting to 5.5, I can now take clear and discernable pics from/of moving vehicles, with little-to-no blur.

Thank you.
Hey bro, thanks for your hard work, the camera finally works on mokee 7.1.2 with your method.
But when the battery power is below 25 percent, my phone begin power off automatically, do you have the same problem? and how to solve it?
I think mokee 7.1.2 is the greatest mod I've ever used, beacuse it performs well in playing games.I don't want to change other roms.

[GoogleCamera] - Mi A2 Lite Optimised.

I am not sure if there is already thread regarding this version from @Hass31 version of Gcam . If there is , then please ignore this thread .
Otherwise , then here it is .
This version by @Hass31 is optimised for Mi A2 Lite and I can say this is the first version of Google Camera that I used which is fully functional .
Pre-Requisites : You have to enable Camera2Api in order to use this version of GoogleCamera .
Tested :
1. Front Camera (Potrait) HDR+ On = Working
2. Front Camera HDR+ = Working
3. Front Camera HDR+ Off = Working
4. Rear Camera (all mode) = Working
5. Video 60fps (I doubt it shoot at 60fps) with Stabilize = Working
6. Video slowmotion 120fps = Working
Thus , I can say we finally have this version that is sufficient and better than the stock cam .
Download Here : https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/GCamera.apk
THANKS @Hass31
Mod optimised by hass31 for his Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite.
Changelog:
- First update.
A small modification of Google Camera for our device differs from others: stability, operability.
Update check in the paragraph (there you can also state your suggestions and learn about the development of the modification): "About the application" - "Check update".
(Thanks for to Konstantin for the translation improvements.)

isnt it possible to it not require camera 2 api?
I can also confirm that everything works.
But sadly this isn't the latest build of the Google camera and is only build v5, so until than, the Tolyan009 version is better in my opinion.

I can confirm that this MI Mix2 version is the most complete for the MI A2 Lite: it only misses the HDR/HDR+ front and Slow Motion.
WIth this and other 2 different versions installed, I'm good to shot every existing mode for foto and video
How to use this? just simply install or theres some magic needed before it works?
