is there a working gcam port for redmi 5a MIUI 10 - Xiaomi Redmi 5A Questions & Answers

I was using "GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.apk" In MIUI 9 and it worked fine after enabling camera2api causing the stock camera app to crash. But in MIUI 10 even after enabling camera2api stock camera is working and gcam is not. I have tried BSG, Arnova8G2 and scrubber gcam ports none of them seem to work.

From what I have heard GCam is useless on MIUI 10 stable as it does not have Camera2 application programming interface implemented in it, which means adding the line HAL3....... Or using camera2api module by magisk wont enable it. So to use gcam u either have to use Cusrom or go back to miui 9 or just wait till xiaomi implements this API in their further updates.

Very sad feeling. I don't think Xiaomi will add it back. If they will add it in the future then why did they remove it in the first place. That's it I'm moving to a custom rom.

They may add it. At least it was supposed in beta 8.11.8 but i can't say for sure since beta updates for riva have been suspended since the 8.11.1 update for testing oreo. U can check out this article.

U can wait for a few days if u wish. Good luck if ur going custom. Hope i too could do so.

Best custom ROM for MIX 2

I just ordered mine but I hate MIUI. I would need to reflash right away. What is the most reliable, closest to pure Android ROM?
Closest to pure android is definitely AndyYan's LineageOS. I am running it for a while now and battery life is still pretty good, no bugs so far. Only thing that doesn't work in all custom roms is VoLTE.
I love Epic ROM with AOSP notifications.
The global Oreo beta is great despite being MIUI. And I'm a pure Android kind of guy.
Oreo beta is by far the best.

Yeah miui 9.2 or something. It's just the most stable everything works and has stock aosp type notifications. I've tried all custom ROMs and stock miui has everything working. In the future that may change.

MIUI 9 beta with a custom launcher is pretty close to the experience of most custom ROMs. Just install ADW or Nova and it should be fine.

MIUI 10 Stable vs Beta

Hello! What is your experience using MIUI 10 Beta ? How stable is it and are there any critical bugs in it? How do things go with energy consumption? How quickly do bugs fix there?
I want to know that did Xiaomi stopped beta program for miui 10? Or it's just they didn't provide weekly build today?
Because i'm on miui 10 beta and didn't recieve any uodate today. So i thought maybe since they have launched public stable buil so they have stopped beta program. Is it true?

It is because their devs are on holidays. They do this annually, they made a post about this and the next beta build comes at 11/10.
MIUI Beta and Stable are largely the same for now. Both are good in battery life and performance but I found MIUI 10 a bit stuttering with animations and scrolling compared to MIUI 9.6.4. Also weirdly the graphics options in PUBG has been reduced with MIUI 10. Don't know why.. Switched to MSM-X Pie Rom for now.

How? What about Anti Roll back? I was in Resurrection remix before Miui 10 but after miui 10 i have to stick with it because of ARB policy. Also miui 10 public build has no finger print lock option. But i'm on beta build so everything seems to be working fine here for now.

Arb doesn't apply to custom ROMs. You can switch between custom ROMS as usual. Just don't go back to a older version of MIUI. Fingerprint works in stable build for me.

Oh. Thanks. Then i'll definitely try Android Pie based Custom ROMS. But Camera quality becomes worse in Custom ROMS.
What's the point of having a good camera hardware if it's in no use in custom ROMS.

Wrong.
Most of the custom roms for whyred come with mi A2 camera pre installed,the you can add gcam onto that.there is no difference between miui and custom camera.because its not the operatint system that defines quality of the picture taken with camera,its the application you are using.
If its a better application or same,there wont be any difference.

Actually in my oneplus one and oneplus 5 custom roms doesn't give same camera quality as stock roms. That's why i'm afraid to flash custom rom on redmi note 5 pro. :/

Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite | MIUI Global Beta gets Pie!

Hello! i have Good News, People in the MIUI Global Beta Program are getting Android 9.0 Pie!
What I have noticed currently:
The Space Between the Apps and Notch has disappeared.
The "Hide-Notch" Feature doesn't use the Notch Area as a Status Bar Area Anymore now, It now completely hides the notch, only leaving the LCD Backlight.
Camera2API is still not supported.
Cool! Is it faster or has battery improvements if you noticed anything by now?

Global Beta is available officially if you want it now, as for the Stable i'm not sure when it will be released
I was really disappointed seeing Redmi Note 7 coming with Camera2 Api enabled and the 8 Lite still with it disabled. There is no excuses for that.

If rooted, it is easy enough to add to the system/build.prop. Sure it is a PiTA, but once added, it works well. Saving in RAW mode was pretty important to me which made rooting my device well worth it. I will wait for the official release version, or an ASOP ROM when one becomes available.

Can it be installed with the "local update" method (from the Global Oreo based release) or it must be installed withc "fast boot" udpate method?

You mean stable to beta ROM?
Probably you will need to install 9.1.17 Oreo beta and then update to 9.2.15 Pie. It'll erase your data but that's it. You can do it with MIUI installer without trouble.
Any links???

STABLE GCAM 6.1 - No patch and no root

Hello guys!
I finally found a stable 6.1 gcam for our beloved whyred. My model is Chinese AI red. I am currently using Havoc OS 2.4 (Android 9) without any patch, root or modified kernel. All standard of rom itself.
The apk's author is marlin-ku (https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-marlin-ku/)
Notice: You need camera2api enabled!
Recommendations:
Disable 4k video (use full hd)
HDR on the front camera DOES NOT WORK (but if you disable it, everything works)

You're right, Xiaomi should enable camera2api by default, on MIUI Pie it's just a value on build.prop, nothing more nothing less, it's awfull marketing
I have camera2api enabled but get only forced close.
I'm using MASIK 4.1 Miui pie. Front camera work fine for photos and videos. One bug is superzoom in front camera video with 60fps.
But finally we can use one GCAM TRUE Stable.
Thank you

Very interesting. I have the latest version of Havoc OS 2.4, on my Chinese note 5 with stable firmware 10.3.4, with absolutely nothing else (root, patch camera, kernel) and this was the most stable version I've ever installed on my whyred. Everything works, minus HDR on the front camera and the 4k video. Everything else works perfectly here.

From global rom to... which rom ?

I've just unlocked by Redmi note 8t (willow) and have to choose which custom rom to install, among the several options.
I'm oriented for an AOSP experience (Havoc, for example) but I'd no want compromises: I need a stable, full features and well supported system.
Does Xiaomi.eu remain the best choice under these last three points ?

All A10 AOSP roms has bugs, like aux camera doesnt work and hardware composer (only 1 rom with hwc fixed, hentai rom by dyneteve).
So current status of aosp development is they are waiting for official miui A10 beta release, for the blobs, which currently still closed beta and hopefully release by this month.
If you dont want compromises, just wait in miui based rom or try aosp 9 roms and if you want aux to work you have to set selinux to permissive.

Just came to eu for 2 days after unlock the phone, and has no bug to find out until now, using daily or play game (WOT). Maybe there is a little lag while combat many tanks at same place, but overall its smooth.
miui based is good enough, call recording built in, add some gestures, no bloatware except i dont like some miui apps (record, calendar, compass....) and have to replace them with gg one.
I pretended to try Pixel first, but like you, i need stable, dont worry about bugs and update n update n update...

When xiaomi will release android 10 for ginkgo, the dev will use the display and other blobs from miui and them use them in aosp, which will fix bugs like hwc and camera, so there would be more stable custom rom, am i right?
