Why no Pro Video Mode in Camera Xiaomi Mi 9 SE? - Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Questions & Answers

I am a big fan of my Mi 9 SE. But there are two things that disapoint me:
1. The MACRO MODE never made it (yet) to my device. I have MIU global stable 10.3.4, and there is no macro mode tk be found...
2. The lack of PRO VIDEO MODE in the camera is very puzzling to me. PRO MODE is already present in the camera, why not for VIDEO too? If Xiaomi does not intend on adding pro video, at least they could release the SDK for other devs to have access to all lenses, so we could use alternate Camera Video Apps that have full manual features....

Now that we have optimized kernel for battery, I think the weakness of this phone is video recording which is too unstable.

Still no pro mode for video even on the latest MIUI 11

Gcam Miui vs AOSP

Hi, my Redmi Note 5 is arriving and I want to know if I install Ressurrection Remix OS the Gcam app will have the same image quality as if I install it on Miui?
In my opinion it's even better, since you can adjust a lot in the modified versions of the gcam (look out of Arnova and saneklic.)
You can bump up the image quality by quite a bit (also in low light conditions, images can get better). Additionally you have some nice mods (like photosphere, different modis of panorama) which the others don't have. In my opinion the mi camera performs as good or worse than the gcam.
The portrait effect with the blured background can be achieved perfectly by 1 lens again, so no need to use the mi camera for that effect (since lineage snap & gcam use 1 lense only). So there is no need to use miui camera for that one.
Don't forget to activate camera2api (persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1) in the build.prop and you are good2go I hope it helped!
Edit: if you want to use the miui camera anyway, there is a thread where you can flash the .zip file and have it anyway!
I think he means that he would like to know if the gcam performs the same on Miui as on aosp Rom. In the end, is the gcam so good on Miui as the same gcam app on aosp?
Personally I think yes, because they both used camera2api, but I didn't test it.

Hello. Thank you for your work. The wide-angle camera and macro work fine in HDR + mode, the main camera does not want to start, the black screen
hdr works on the specified cameras. Enters settings only if the main camera is on. thanks for the work
low contrast, unlike miui camera

As of now I'm not sure whether gcam can fully work on Mediatek device. Main camera has blackscreen as of now. HDR+ seems to work on Wide and Macro, but it needs further testing.
As I don't have this device, I can't check by myself whether some functions are working good or not. Feel free to test everything carefully Logs (from app on phone or adb logcat), and photo comparisons with stock camera app would be appreciated

Are you developer?
You understand coding and developing?
Can you give us answer to one question,and help us all..
This Mediatek chipset , is possible to develop custom ROMs? This chipset is no different than the others..
So if possible to create ,develop ROMs, Kernel and other stuff?
Thanks in advance.

First of all thank you for your efforts.
I tried to test your version. Here you'll find the logcat output. I filtered using grep com.google.android.apps.camera to avoid too much noise. If you need specific test please tell me which steps i had to perform.
Hope this helps.

Hey, I'm gcam modder, not rom developer
It is possible to develop custom roms, kernels, and "other stuff" but it would be better to have full kernel source from xiaomi

im not a dev, but I think there's hope for that because xiaomi has release their kernel source

ps: sorry OP for off topic
I dont know how to get the logs, but I can describe overall workability.
As said: when option RAW_SENSOR checked in FIX settings, there are full working HDR+ and HDR+ Enchanced on aux Camera - Wide and Macro, and on the front camera.
With alternative config Night Sight is also working, on three cameras. So as the Portrait Mode.
Also capture RAW-dng, seems to be ok.
Noticed issues:
Crash on video
Crash when trying to get to Settings from aux cameras, but if in Aux Cameras settings check the switch "Disable Settings Mode", button Settings is still present and there is no crash anymore.
There are problems with initialization of aux cameras. They starting from time to time. It can be a black screen or loading animation or non-active shutter button. Switch to Front Camera and back helps in 95% of cases.
Problem with deinitialization of camera session. Safety app is sending notification that "The Camera is using Camera in the background", even if forcibly shutdown gcam through the app manager. It causes another system bug, with the notification LED blinking or constantly on with no visible reason..
For now, all that I tested or remembered
What is the use of advanced sensors in redmi note 8 pro when there is no Gcam developers for this mediatek processor RN8 PRO!!!!
Thanks for posting...
I try fastly...
I'm on european model
Can't have anything with wide angle/macro.
Picture from main camera is visible in background when going on "Plus"
App crashs when going on "video"
App crashs when activate wide angle/macro and going on "plus"

You need to change to RAW_SENSOR in fix menu
Also there is an xml for rn8pro which will fix lag in viewfinder
Oh yes...thanks you...
It's Ok...
I take some macro and wideangle pictures
In most cases Gcam is better :
- captures more détails
- hasn't some unreal AI process you can find on Xiaomi's cam
- most time, better colors
But in one case, I get crazy colors on macro.
This one is better with Gcam :

Than on stock :

And more accurate (orange) on stock
http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2019/44/2/1572366916-img-20191029-123339.jpg
Wide angle :
More details in trees, more contraste in foggy Sky, less AI artifacts (sharpen) in lighter trees in the middle :

Amazing details on Gcam...even if lights were yellow (Closer to stock's) and not white.
I had some problem to launch Gcam...I had to Erase data and reconfigure
when shooting during the day, it often highlights a blue or purple tint.
Can't even get the camera to initiate within the app. It shows in the background only on the "More" tab. Also, app crashes when location setting toggled off.

A few questions before buying

I'm in thoughts of buying Mi 10T/Mi 10T Pro but have a few questions.
1) Does NFC work Lineage, Evolution or similar custom roms?
2) Does Gcam work well(4K 60fps) Lineage, Evolution or similar custom roms? And does the Gcam add stabilization on 4K 60fps recording?
3) Does the fingerprint sensor work well with Lineage, Evolution or similar custom roms?
4) Are there any port of the Miui stock camera app for Cutom roms?
5) Are there any screen protection Glass that work with the fingerprint sensor?
6) Are there any other camera app than the stock Miui that is able to record in 8K 30fps?
7) Are there any know functions in the phone that doesn't work well with custom roms?
1. Yes
2. Yes/not sure for the second part, 4k 60fps if forced option, eis and ois(only on 10t pro) exist in options
3. Yes
4. There are some anx versions that some people reported to work, but it's awful, half of the stuff doesn't work, force closes, errors etc...
5. Fingerprint sensor is on power button, so every screen protector works.
6. None that I know of
7. Nfc sometimes doesn't work, but the fix is in making. Wifi sometimes prevents phone from entering deep sleep, also fix soon

2) On Pro, it is not OIS in 4K 30Fps and not in 60fps?
4) Have they succed in ports in order Xiaomi phones? Or is it impossible to make it work completly?

For the first part, I'm not really sure because I use both ois and eis in gcam...

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 GCAM for Op 11

Hi all,
I plan to get an OP 11 . Had an OP 9 before for a very short while so very new to OnePlus. Is there a GCAM app availaible ? & how good is it?
Also interested in this as I am in the same boat and the camera software/quality is all that's holding me back.
I thought I heard that GCam support stopped a few generations ago, however I could be misinformed as I have been out of the loop recently. Also I imagine that could have been talking about "official support" or smth (?), which luckily means nothing here as unofficial ports and apks are plentiful.
Gcam does work if you use a codeaurora variant from some of the popular modders featured on Celso Azevedo's Gcam Hub. Interestingly, I haven't been able to get any of the aux cameras working even with tinkering.
I suspect this is not intentional though. OnePlus acknowledged a recent update that broke Gcam compatibility with the oneplus 9 and eventually came out with a firmware update restoring the compatibility. They are definitely NOT anti-gcam. Im assuming the devs with Gcam mods will have aux working fairly soon.
I can confirm that gcam by By Shamim SGCAM_8.7.250.XX.44_STABLE_V4_ONEPLUS_PACKAGE.apk works. if any one finds one that is better let us know..
After rooting op11, I installed gcam By Shamim SGCAM_8.7.250.XX.44_STABLE_V4_ONEPLUS_PACKAGE.apk works well for main camera and front camera but none of the other cameras works.
I heard that OnePlus restrict the other cameras. Is there a magisk modular to fix that ??

It took a long time to get an "enabler" for the 8Pro/9R series.
I think we will also have to wait a long time for the "11" if we get to it at all.
For the 8Pro/9R it is here:

A Magisk module for the OnePlus 8 series (8, Pro, T) and the OnePlus 9R. It fixes/enables/improves the following: Removes the 1/30s shutter speed cap for third party camera apps, allowing GCam to use up to 1/8s in ZSL mode. Enables 48MP RAW10 capture support on GCam, both on Main (8/8T/9R) and...

What I really don't understand is that OnePlus recently brought back Aux cameras access to the 9 Pro with recent updates but then the 11 doesn't allow Aux access. It's like they haven't had the chance to fix the Color OS restrictions yet since they copy pasted the code. Kinda frustrating.

Yep I tried flashing the old one and it didn't work. Both Gcam and stock cam kept crashing.
I guess we have no choice but wait. Thanks for the reply at least I know I am not missing anything.

OnePlus got to realize there is no value in restrictions. The reason most of us choose android over iOS is the freedom to customize.
Made for LMC8.4_R18, for the Oneplus 11. Based on Matteo's M23 libs.
Instructions:
- Download and install the APK from the link above.
- Download the lib file (.so file) and the XML from this post.
- Place the lib (.so file) in Internal Storage\LMC8.4\libs
- Place the xml file in Internal Storage\LMC8.4 (load it by double-tapping the black area around the shutter button)
Modes:
Leica - Vignette effect.
LDR - Low dynamic range.
B/W: For Black & White photos with the main camera.
Main: Main Camera.
UW: Wide Camera + Macro mode
B/W2: For Black & White photos with the wide camera.
Based on Matteo's M23 libs. Tuned for the Oneplus 11.
Created to capture natural colors and much details without over sharpening the pics.
Set tone curves and gamma curves.
Set a balance between noise reduction and details.
Pics may have a bit of noise, but that is configured to capture the most amount of details.
For macro shots use wide lens with 2x zoom + set manual focus value to 40.
Notes:
- The viewfinder is customizable on LMC. You can disable all extra features in settings if you prefer a cleaner look.
