Mi A2 Lite Shutter Speed Problem - Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers

I was pretty excited to take some night photos after I unlocked Camera2API on my A2 Lite but it seems that while all manual camera apps allow up to 32 seconds of exposure time, the camera doesn't go further than 1 second. Anyone else experiencing this?

yes it,s similar but with working portrait mode front and back.
Thank you sooo much!
One thing: Portrait mode with back camera not working - but I use omni gsi - perhaps that´s the reason!
Edit:
Ok now I installed the "Mi A2 Camera" from magisk downloads and my portrait problem is solved!
Do you guys notice a diference in the portrait mode when using the A2 lite (stock) camera vs the A2 camera? The harware is quite different, and I believe A2 lite secondary camera is used as a depth meter, so more blur in the background when using portrait mode. Am I right?
So far everything works except for the group selfie. Thx

Mi A2 camera app (magisk module - to download directly via magisk downlaod manager) is better than stock! Portrait mode works better and also for front camera!
I updated the magisk A2 camera module to the latest version and it comes with a couple extra features, but more bugs. Portrait isn't working, and manual controls aren't there anymore.
Do any of you guys still have the previous version and can share the file here? Thx!

Installed today and it works perfectly! I tried to install magisk Mi A2 camera module version 4.0 firstly, but camera crashed and it duplicated the main camera... so, I couldn't use it.
This one, replaces the stock camera and the results, in my opinion are better. Better portrait mode and better pictures in low light conditions and better front camera pictures. I think that this app really makes a difference. The manual mode is awesome too.
I have installed Gcam too and now I can use both too.
Thank you very much!

Best camera app?

Which camera application has worked best for you? Do you have any application to recommend?
If you like miui-cam the best version is "Mi A2 Camera" magisk module, found under downloads in magisk! Portrait for front and back camera
-> the best is: it´s working on gsi treble roms! I´m on omni right now and it´s working great!
If you like gcam, you can use pixel2mod and mgc up to version 5.2 by Tolyan: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-tolyan009/
Here I posted a tiny comparison between 4 camera apps for stock users. Normal apps. No magisk, no root, no gcam and no camera2API enabled https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77703505&postcount=11
Just as Voodoojonny said, if you want to squeeze the camera a little more, you'll have to install magisk and enable camera2API. Then, install a gcam app (there are 2 threads about it in this device forum) or install the Mi A2 camera magisk module. Also, Open Camera app and Camera zoom fx app let you shoot with manual, which is pretty neat, too.
Give them a try. If you like tampering with settings and so, you have enless hours of fun. But in the end, all what matters is user experience and final result. And it's quite personal. Try them. Start with the stock app. Then, A2 and gcam (both very powerful). And give a try to regular cam apps such as open camera (ugly but really good for manual), camera zoom fx and camera mx (I like the post-editing capabilities).
The best I've seen is gcam with HDR/HDR+
I don't know why everybody likes the gcam HDR+ so much. For regular photos with good light, good focus and all, I like the regular mode (no HDR) better. And it has better quality. HDR is always more "dusty", like if it shoot with higher ISO (zoom in and you'll see what I say).
I'm pretty happy with GCam, lot of settings to play with

Which is better Mi A2 module vs GCam ?

I was wondering which One is better forum the mi A2 lite
i think mi a2 module is beter for low light photos if u use in manual mode but gcam goes all the way ?
Ive tested many camera apps on mi a2 lite and I think that the pixel2mod v8.2 is the best ( need the camera2api enabled )
I like the gcam. But if you zoom in, the photos always have more noise (this sandy effect the high ISO makes) and, therefore, lower quality pictures. But better color treatment. So, overall, I'll say that the MiA2 module is better than the gcams I've tested.

I think tha there is a method to install OTAup even you root your phone. follow this guide created by @BubuXP https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/guide-install-magisk-proper-support-ota-t3836952

The OTA update from July to September was working without problems here with Camera2 API enabled.
Btw, also using gcam 8.2 by Arnova.
Going back to the thread question...
After a few days of regular use (not testing use) I choose Mi A2 camera with no doubt (I don't use the front camera, and I don't usually take pictures to people). I'll keep both cameras because they offer different functions, but I'll never shoot with gcam HDR (which is suposed to be it's strenght). In the gcam R5plus_fix_crash (the one I use now), it is extremly bright (burned photos) and there is a lot of noise in the picture. And with the Arnova8G2, it takes forever to process after taking the photo. I haven't had any issue with the A2 camera. However, with the A2 camera, there isn't much diference between pictures shot with HDR or wthout it.

Long exposure photography

Hi, I've tried many apps to make photos with long exposure time, from fv-5 to freedcam and hedgecam, but in every camera exposure time always stops at 2 seconds. I've read that it's a software problem because MIUI version of A2 lite camera can go up to 32 sec. Now, I have camera2 api enable and I doesnt affect nothing. Aniway I found a mod of nokia camera by @linuxct (Im currently on 91.9.1130.40) that allows to shot 4 seconds, unfortunately without RAW. Here are some photos:
Apk?
im tried camera fv-5 (paid) and it work to take long exposure shot >16s with camera2api enabled by magisk module,,
but~ the image quality is poor~ not like the other phone,,

Are you sure it's long exposure and not image stacking? Cause for me it seems It only stacks images. I tried to take a photo with the lite version and with nokia camera, settings are exp time:4 sec, ISO:400, for both cameras. The brighter One Is nokia

This magisk module works on stock rom and evolution x, crdroid and lineage os this miui camera can shoot up to 32 seconds without anybug or problem and It's made for Mi A2 Lite.

Because its real shutter speed. Not the collection of images .

yup,
did the option for "force usage of legacy camera driver" is off? you can check it on
general setting > compatibility
it must on then your shutter speed option will not showing as scrolling, it will showing as manual input number. and it work on my a2 lite than scrolling mode.

Works perfectly! This Is what I was looking for, though It doesn't have RAW it's the best camera for long exposure I've tried so far. As soon as there will be a good night sky I will provide some photos

Yes I have It on and the seconds instead of the scrolling, but doesn't make a real long exposure, maybe it's because Im on lite version(?)
There we go

Of course, as mentioned already; using Camera2 API / HAL3 and the MIUI Camera's Manual mode is the better option.
You can otherwise get it working in FreeDCam, albeit with Camera1 API:
Turn off / remove Camera2 API and reboot
Confirm Camera1 API is in use by using Camera2 Probe, ensuring "Hardware Support Level" = LEGACY
Launch FreeDCam and re-run FeatureDetector
Set your image settings as desired, and turn OFF Zero Shutter Lag
Use Mode Pic, JPEG output. Swipe up from the bottom, and set the shutter to desired value in seconds
(optional, but recommended) Set ISO to ISO_HJR to get >ISO3200 in low light
39 seconds @ ISO12744 is the highest/most I can get. From 40s on there's some sort of wrap or restart from 0.

Are you on A2 lite? Because I tried your method but always stops at a 0.4sec
Edit: playing with settings and now magically works, lol. However the fact that you must use api 1 otherwise it crashes it's annoying, because RAW is only usable with api2

The Problem with Note8Pro and the RAW Mode

Hey Folks,
i know the topic is discussed sometimes already, but the most commong solution: "just use Gcam" doesnt really work for me.
Well to my problem, as we all know the RN8P cant shoot raw using MIUI except with Gcam or Front Cam 3rd Party Apps.
I am mostly doin astrophotography with this Phone and in AP Raw Format is kinda Must for Post Processing. Now people gonna say: But Google Camera has Astrophotography Mode!!!
Ye ye i know it does, and it is "okay" when u think its fully done with 1 button press, but comparing the Results between Google Camera AP Mode and Fully Manual Mode Shots + stacking are drasticly and very extreme. I live in a very Light Polluted Area and for me the difference between Gcam and Manual Mode is Having a Milky Way Photo or having a photo with only 20 Stars on it. So thats why GCam isnt really a solution for me. So i switched to HAVOC OS CFW which is great because now i can Shoot in RAW in Full Manual Mode with ANX Camera and 3rd Party Apps. So far so good. The Thing is, i like the whole MIUI Experience with its UI and the way they handle the Apps and all its blinky blinky animation.s More Than Stock Android like on Havoc.
Now i saw the Begonia Mods here on XDA which activated some camera mods. Sadly not the RAW Mode. Is it possible to add something to the XML like: "supports_raw"true or something like that?
Or is it possible to deactive the 64MP Mode for 3rd Party apps so it only connects to the 16MP Sensor Data with Pixel Binning and we dont get the Camera Error the whole time? Or does anyone know a fully working Manual Camera with White Balance Support, Manual Focus, Manual Exposure Time and Manual ISO which does support RAW on our Phone when using MIUI 12? I mean its basicly just a software lockout, since the phone definatly supports RAW as we can see with CFW or Gcam.
I actually checked the camera 2 api probe and its not HAL3 Full, but in CFW it is HAL3 Full. Back when i had the Mi Max 2 (oxygen) i had to enable c2api manually in the build.prop. Did someone tried to activate HAL3 manually in the build.prop already to have it on FULL support?
I am open to any solutions you guys can think of or tried yourself. I dont mind rooting MIUI 12 or so, all i want is MIUI OS + Full Manual Camera with RAW no matter how and at which costs
And please as i said earlier: "Just use Google Camera" is no Option for me
Greetings and have a nice Day
snap camera hdr allows raw capture on note 8 pro with full iso and shutter speed control but limited focus and white balance option
select raw and tap on the iso value to enable manual control
for wb and focus tap and hold on the viewfinder
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.marginz.snap
I have same problem and you are firs person who say same. Havoc os shoot 64 mp raw? or 16 mp like gcam?
