portrait mode in GCam / Custom ROMs? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers

So I see everyone talking about the quality of video recording in GCam, HDR + etc. but I'm just curious how the rear camera portrait mode working in third party cameras and if it's working, is it actually utilizing both rear cameras?

No 3rd party camera can use the 2nd camera at the moment(doubt if they ever will), not even the modded GCam uses the depth sensor. It takes better portrait anyway using only one camera, better separation, though with a little less depth blur.

Does GCam requires camera 2 API? I heard that the stock camera crashes after enabling Camera 2 API.

The stock camera works fine after enabling camara2api. The problem is after enabling camera2 API, none of the cameras can focus during recording video, so that's an issue you'll have to deal with if you decide to enable it.

Still none of gcam mods which support for second depth camera?
I'm on RR so I can't use stock camera. It's not supporting

MI6 Camera Quality

Hi Guys..
Camera quality of MI6 in outdoor photos is really good,
But in door photos there is lots of noise and sometime it looks like VGA camera,
If we enable camera api2 is there any chance we get better in door photos? I saw one thread here for Google camera but focus is not working so sad.
What you guys think in Oreo update we will get camera api2 officially?
Why this is not implemented during release time by Xiaomi strange?

Xiaomi doesn't want to rebuild their camera app to utilise camera 2 Api so they just turn it off.
If you enable it the miui camera stops working.
Google camera is good. It seems to be being developed slowly to work on most xiaomi devices by BSG.
So far on NisseCool's LOS 15 (cam 2 enabled as default) I have g cam working and HDR+ works if you toggle it off and back to "N6 HDR+ auto" in settings menu.
After closing though you have to go back to settings and turn it off and on again but it definitely is almost working.
Without HDR+ it's a very good camera anyway. Fast shooter.
Not sure if it actually offers any benefits over the MIUI camera though so you might be better off keeping the MIUI one for now and see if Oreo enables 2 api.

Manual Camera

Is there a camera app, possibly a modification of the stock camera Google Camera app, that allows for full-fledged manual operations and control?
I mean an app that allows you to control the camera like a DSLR. Of course without the aperture and the focal length..
Thanks in advance
Try proshot on the app store
Camera FV-5 from the play store

Pro shot camera
Footej camera
Lumio cam
The only 3 I can recommend at this time. Don't waste your money on camera fv-5 until the developers show they wanna keep their app you to date... hasn't been updated since Sept of last year. There's bugs and I wouldn't count on support at this point.
Also, don't waste your money on manual camera as it to is buggy and very inconsistent updates.

But isn't there a modified version of the stock camera that allows for manual controls? I want hdr+ so badly?
I have heard that the Nokia camera app is coming soon to all android phones. That would be the best manual camera app. Just wait for a bit more.

Suggestion for camera apps true bokeh effect on lineageos based rom

any camera suggestion? for bokeh effect , true bokeh effect that use secondary camera as depth effect not software effect. i didnt saw any bokeh effect mode for lineageos based rom stock camera apps.
The A1 magisk port is the only camera that uses the secondary camera on custom ROMs. Bokeh works well on it but hdr will cause the camera to crash, so make sure you disable it.

Ok but, anyway, is 20mpx camera exploited by gcam to get better photo in some way or only the 16mpx cam is used in every situation so 20mpx is never "powered on"?

In OOS 20MP camera is used only in auto mode and portrait to detect depth. It shoots 20MP photo then magic OP software interpolate it to lower res to "improve quality and decrease noise" and then i don't know why, extrapolates that image back to 20MP. If i'm right it is written in camera HAL so we can't do nothing with it... Test it by Yourself, just type *#*#1597#*#* in dialer and take photo with "tele" and "wide" in sunny day.
I'm not sure 100% about it, correct me if i'm wrong.

Dialer? Why using dialer to take photo?
@rmroot You use dialer to input this code I wrote earlier. It opens camera app which now allows You to switch lenses manually.

Does 64MP works in third-party apps?

Hi,
Before buying i'm wondering if you're ale to take 64MP pictures on third party apps? I'm most interested in Open Camera. If yes, does Open Camera allows to shoot 64 MP in RAW format? Could someone with phone check it ?
Its totally normal....stock camera is build for this sensor
Yes, but stock app dosn't support RAW, but phone support camera 2 API, so i'm wondering if you can take 64MP RAW pictures on third party apps ?
Only gcam have 16mp raw on main camera. All others camera applications have same problem with raw, on main camera. "Failed to start camera preview."
Snap Camera HDR also capture RAW 16mp and jpeg 64mp with main cam.
The advantage of GCam is that when it does HDR, does it in JPEG and RAW also. On a Snap cam, when we turn on RAW it no longer capture HDR even it shows that it is on.
Something interesting with a Snap Camera, unlike a stock camera, a Snap Camera can produce an HDR image with 64mp jpeg, like as GCam 6 with 64.xml profile on portrait mode.
what's the quality of RAW format?
