Any idea to fix poor camera result in "Video Calling Apps" like Whatsapp, Skype etc? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers

Any idea to fix poor camera result in "Video Calling Apps" like Whatsapp, Skype etc?
Is there any Custom or MIUI rom for Note 5 Pro where camera works just fine during videos calls instead of being dark, blurry and grainy making it look like a VGA camera from a decade ago in 3rd party apps like Whatsapp, IMO, Skype, Facebook etc? I tried many versions of MIUI 9 and 10 (Stable & Beta) also tried latest Lineage, Nitrogen and PE Extended custom roms but result is same horrible camera result in video calls.
The camera works fine in Google Duo and built in Camera app so the issue is not with the camera. This is a major bug every user is facing it in RN5P and MIUI forums are full with threads on this bug but i haven't seen any youtuber mentioning this bug at all although there are a like a million videos about RN5P on youtube discussing same features over and over again.
Roms i tried:
MIUI 9.5.19
MIUI 9.6.4
MIUI 10.0.1
MIUI 10.0.2
MIUI 10.0.4
MIUI 8.10.25 Beta
MIUI 8.11.1 Beta
MIUI 8.11.8 Beta
PE Extended Latest
Linage OS 15.1 Latest
Nitrogen OS Latest
All of the above mentioned Roms had this issue.
So any idea how can i fix this bug or if there is any rom with a fix for this issue? This is really poor from Xiaomi to have a 13MP front camera with a bug like this and they are not even willing to fix it.

That's not a solution i can't ask everyone to install Google Duo just because my phone video calling sucks in other apps so they need to stop using those apps too.

Atleast in recent mobiles google duo comes pre installed..
Right now there is no fix.. wait for future updates, Xiaomi is enabling camera2api in their mobile and hopefully Xiaomi will enable camera2api in our device

I enabled camera2api and also tried roms with api enabled but result was same i guess it's something to do with the firmware not roms?

It can also be problem with those apps... Can't blame Xiaomi alone... Camera2api from Xiaomi can improve the overall quality because OEMs have complete control over camera blobs

I found out that if in video call, I switch between front and back camera, the quality changes.

Miui rom camera vs AOSP rom camera

Is it safe to assume that the google camera on stock based roms is better than the miui 9 default camera?
Im saying this because I just got the Honor View 10 and will be doing some camera comparisons and dont really want to go back to miui rom.

Imo yes, Gcam is better. Especially front camera.
In my Mi6, the stock camera was better than Gcam

Which ROM?
miui9 with Camera2 enable way too much noise
Official Aicp 12.1, Google Camera can't focus, in the end i'm using bacon camera
Unofficial LOS 15.1 Too much noise again
The best picture i could get with my Mi6 was with the stock rom and default camera

I'm surprised.
Google camera on any ROM I've used has been consistently better than any other set up.
I don't even use HDR+ because of the autofocus issues.
Just normal photos.
Always better than stock camera and others even when using HDR+ with those.
Video is another area though. Only MIUI camera produces consistent video quality.
Gcam just lags and crashes.
Bacon camera was decent enough as an alternative for video.
Currently on AOSPA I have gcam for normal photos and MIUI camera for video and special photos
I was really eager to use Gcam, the phone i had before the Mi6 was a J5 Prime.. So no Gcam either. Everyone said it was an awesome camera, so i waited 72 hours, unlocked bootloader, twrp and then enable camera2.. I tried a few gcam mods and in my Mi6 none of them where superior to the default camera that came with miui9.

Any Custom or MIUI Rom where Camera result is fine in video calling apps?

I tried a couple of custom roms and a few miui 10 and 9 global and beta roms but result is same horrible camera result in video calling apps like whatsapp, facebook, skype, imo etc so i will really appreciate if you can suggest a rom where it actually works fine as it should with a 13mp front camera instead of looking like a vga camera. Thanks
(it kinda works in Google Duo but i dont use Duo at all)
Anyone with an answer? i will really appreciate it thanks

Video recording in custom rom

I'm currently using evolution x custom rom adnroid 11 for redmi note 8 (gingko) and I have never been able to record any video. Any app that I use crashes or doesn't record the video at all. When they do, it has a weird long length and doesn't play at all. I even tried ANX camera but it also crashes when I try to take a video. Video stabilization also doesn't work in ANX camera as well. Is there a solution for this?

EIS Not Working After Flash Rom

Hi at all,
I'm currently on arrowOS, I use Gcam for photos, but it crashes for videos. All the video apps I've tried don't work with ois. The xiaomi stock camera app also crashes, so and I cannot install it. Is there any solution to use OIS when recording?
The Mi 10T Pro camera has been broken since october and there have been no updates since to fix the broken camera as the device is not available in china so the chinese dev do not take out any fixes for the camera and the EU xiaomi devs. are lazy af to fix the camera hopefully the broken camera should be fixed in MIUI 13 YOUR only option is to roll back to a stable stock build around sept. to have a working official camera otherwise you need to stick with what you have

Question To those running custom ROMs, do you guys miss OOS Cam?

Post title.
I've had this phone for nearly a year at this point, and the main reason I got it was on my OP7P, all the nice custom roms I could try out. However, the difference between there and here is that custom ROMs on that phone had OOS Cam, they also had the ability to dualboot.
I've avoided being on a custom rom this entire time is because I don't want to give up OOS Cam, but what do you guys feel about the lack of it? I know GCam exists but you can't use 4K120/60 video recording with GCam as far as I know. Has there been any changes to the app to allow for that?
I think that more and more people are asking for it to be integrated in custom ROMs. The thing is that on the opposite of the OnePlus 7 OOS cam app, the OnePlus 9 Pro's is heavily tied to OPPO's ColorOS Camera. And from what I understood, ColorOS has been a pain to deal with for developers, as OPPO isn't as community orentied as OnePlus.
That's one of the things stopping me from switching to a custom ROM. When I've tried GCam on OOS, none of the ports are stable enough. I'm not a huge camera user, but if my camera could crash when I WANT to use it, that would piss me off.
I found somewhere in this forum port of OOS cam, photos and videos working, some features missing tho, lucky I don't use them
So, custom ROM can live with OOS cam

That camera is from OP7 AFAIk, and it's next to useless. photo processing is broken, and video fails at 60fps, so people may as well use Gcam since it's does a far better job than that broken port.
