GCAM Best version and Settings - Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers

Hello,
I am using Mi6 rooted on xiaomi.eu ROM and camera2api enabled.
Can anyone suggest best version of GCAM along with its detailed settings for maximum output of HDR on both Front and Back cameras?
Also , does GCAM have potrait mode as in stock cam of mi6?
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Regards.

Depends if you are on Oreo.
I'm on Oreo and the best version I've tried so far is that one MGC_5.2.022_FINAL_1.0.apk
Those are the settings I find the best:

Are you being serious now? What the heck I just learned it I'll try it tomorrow. Another question, any possible way to make it work on objects too, like MIUI camera?

If you want to use portrait mode on objects you need to use "Lens blur", which appears after disabling portrait mode.

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,

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?

Can you please add a new link thanks
GCamera_Mod_v.5.1.23_R5Plus_fix_crash - I use it for Front Camera | Everything works, requires good config, flash works, no night-sight.
GoogleCamera_5.2.025-Final_fu24-18 - I use It for certain conditions not always so It's not recommended but It's ok to have it!!
MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-based_v.1.4a_TlnNeun - It's the best GCAM for Vince, Night Sight, HDR+ Enhanced, Portrait on People,
Requires Good Config, has 5 Libraries in order from Google to Xtreme!

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

I highly recommend tolyan009's mods. The latest 5.1 is best (5.2 just gives me black screens on AEX 4.6): https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-tolyan009/

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.
Thanks!!:laugh:
