Share Google Camera port (I have experienced) for Redmi 5 Plus

Hi everybody,
I have experienced a time of this google camera port and found it quite stable, no crash.
And I decided to share it with everyone
It runs fine on Lineages, Mokee, AOSP Rom and MIUI
Note: ** Your phone has root and activate camera2api.zip file here

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?

[MAGISK][APP][FIX]Google Camera with HDR+ on FRONT/BACK, Portrait mod fix and Guides

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

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

No, you shouldn't have any issue with that.

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.

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:

Which Google Camera port should I use?

I have level 3 hardware support for camera2.
The problem is, the apk in the guide seems like an old version, but there are about 100 different APKs here
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-arnova8G2/#apk411
Which one should I use? Would be nice to know what to look for for future updates too
Thanks

Id like to know as well, the sheer amount of links on the GCam page is really confusing.
I'm using the MiMax version which works well but sadly the portrait mode doesn't and you need to turn off HDR+ to get the fron cam working

Try the cstark27 one of the best fit this device, front facing camera is about the only thing not working but don't do selfies so I am ok with that

Yet it still is the most functional one, lacking a gimmick feature that doesn't even work that well on this device isn't a huge deal.

you must unlock bootloader and enable camera2api or simpy root with magisk and install "camera2api enabler" module from the download section!!

I'm getting weird green artifacting sometimes

Now in pie i use arthur's latest version.
Everything is working and 5.3.15

There is no cera2api enabler in magisk download page. May be they removed it or what should i do to enable camera2 api?

After you've installed magisk
Download Root browser from play store
Open the Root browser
Go to the folder named "system" and open it
Scroll down to build.prop and click on it, open with Root browser text editor.
Scroll to the last line after the empty row press enter to start another row
Type 'persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1' without the quotations.
Press enter to move to another empty row
Them, press back and save changes
Now reboot your phone, you're good to go

2 gcam with hdr+ working in front camera

Hi, this is not my gcam and not my xml files, I only share 2 gcam tested by me (in android 10 custom rom and gsi) and fully working.
Thanks for the users who shared (happymilkman_ teftel and other user in Sakura group).
How to use xml files:
Make a folder in internal storage named : GCam
Inside that folder make another named : Configs7
In that folder put the xml files inside.
In gcam double click next to shutter button and choose your xml config and click in restore.
Finalstable xml is for revolt gcam.

Excellent! I found that the "Revolt-7.0(PiTG)" version works best for me using AOSiP 9.0 rom. I had to switch off the "portrait.depthdata" and switch on "mod.use_portrait_fix_format" and "portrait.allow_raw_blur" settings in Developer Settings because the portrait using front cam was giving a completely blurred photo. I used "FinalStable.xml" as the base config.

revolt is working good for me on stock android 10

I'm using the Revolt version and it works just fine on Android 10 (I was one of the lucky guys where the OTA went without a hitch).
One question I have: is there any way to influence the image file name?
Yesterday I took a pic using the portrait setting and the photo was called "00100sPORTRAIT_00100_BURST20200325173925842_COVER.jpg".
I'd like to be able to change this to for example IMG_yyyymmdd-hhmmss.jpg or something equally simple.
Thanks in advance.

im using revolt too its working,, but sadly lastnight when silence day im tried to captured a milky way on this phone and not working lol (tried on night shot/astrofotography)
and all Raw files is broken when i put it on adobe lightroom.
well i think its time to buy a new phone lol~

I use Parrot043 GCAM 7.3.020.
Front camera is working with following settings:
HDR+ you need to disable (display) flashlight
no HDR* with enabled (display) flashlight
No FC on stock android 10. But SlowMotion seems to be broken. Stock cam works, but with GCAM 5/6/7 video is stuttering.

I'm having some issues with both cams and xml. I'm on stock 9.
The slow motion 120fps (1/4) freezes a lot of time. And when I set the 240fps (1/8) the app crash.
I already tried to reinstall the apps and didn't work... as far I remember both (1/4 and 1/8) works fine. I already rebooted the phone, nothing. The Manual Camera Compatibility app show all list ok...
