•Download This https://drive.google.com/file/d/1skMGmQlHOn0pVXh5UD7AS6F6LIQNTF91/view?usp=drivesdk
•Everything has been done for you except front camera black level offset which needs to be set at 12.00 or 16.00
•Dont complain about bugs this is only for front portrait
•Please share your pics
•All credits go to the porter all I did was make the presets
•Use Hal3
•If you don't have hal3 enabled here is a module created by Robson Williams (Flash in twrp)
•Please join our telegram @cedricchat

Can't install. I'm getting this app isn't compatible with your device. I'm on stock 7.0 debloated and optimized, magisk 16 with hal3 module enabled. Gcam custom curve is working but no portrait mode.
Thanks!

U reminded me I should state its for Oreo

I have tried this and many other camera apks and nothing is working, all crashing at boot. I'm on the Pixel Experience Rom. I flashed Hal3 too (I tried MOTO Camera before flashing hal3 and it worked, but that doesn't work either)
Any ideas?

Google Camera Port with HDR+ (arm64)

Due to the new arm64 Roms i decided to find the best gcam port that would work for the g5s, so i found it.
GCam Port v1 [8.0-9.0] - [Download]
GCam Port v2 [Better Low Light & Stability] [New] - [Download]
It needs camera2api enabled. Add this to /system/build.prop:
Code:
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
(Optional) To prevent certain applications from using camera2api, add this line to /system/build.prop:
Code:
camera.hal1.packagelist=org.lineageos.snap,com.motorola.cameraone,com.whatsapp,com.instagram.android
For GCam Port v1 you need some application settings to prevent camera crashes:
Go to Gcam Settings > Advanced Settings > Model and select "Nexus 6P"
Go to Gcam Settings > Advanced Settings > Config camera HDR+ and select "Pixel 2017 Zsl Hdr+(new)"
V1 issues:
Some modes do not work
Crash when processing photos taken in sequence with hdr+ enabled
Random Bugs
V2 issues:
Some modes do not work
Video recording broken
HDR+ on portrait mode not work
Random Bugs

How to configure if the app keeps crashing?
Edit: I had to install Pix3lify to get it working even after enabling camera2api.

The camera has to be opened only after putting the "persist.camera.HAL3.enabled" in the build.prop and restart the device, because it will crash for not detecting the camera2api

I did put it and restart, but I don't think the file saved properly. So I installed Pix3lify and it works now. Also if you install Pix3lify instead of editing the build.prop

Camera2api module not compatible with GSI ROMs

Hello everyone, I have perhaps the biggest doubt. Why can i easily install the Gcam in the Stock version of the firmware by enabling the module; but if I install a GSI Rom and try to enable the module, does the default camera stop working? And even the possible Gcam to install does not work. Someone could tell me why? Truly I would be infinitely grateful!:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

There are a couple of apps on google store that you can use to check if camera2 API is available/enabled on your phone, testing with gcam is questionable. I use ArrowOS and camera2 API is fully implemented. Try for example OpenCamera which definitely does camera2. Or FreeDcam on github.

Thanks for your reply celrau, after installing the module, i checked if it was enabled with for example "manual camera compatibily test", and each string was enabled. but as i said, stock cam not work more, and neither any gcam. So i don't understand why. Have u ArrowOS in mi a2 lite mate?

Yeah, MiA2 lite with ArrowOS. Most likely gcam not running has nothing to do with camera2, maybe it needs some libraries specific to stock or something. See if you can find some magisk module with gcam, maybe it helps.

compatible modules unfortunately I have not found, maybe there will be something that does not go with the libraries as you say. But unfortunately about this, I understand little and nothing. unless someone tells me directly what I have to implement

Try searching miui 10 camera 2api, it has a full set of libs , but also has media files for ringtone ,user interface, maybe download and remove the media folder or replace the .oggs with your stock ones then magisk flash it

Thanks mate, i'll try it!

You can try editing your build.prop and add this line with the name of the app that you want to use the old API:
camera.hal1.packagelist=INSERT_YOUR_APP_PACKAGE_NAME HERE
ie.:
camera.hal1.packagelist=com.android.camera
I'm using the stock ROM now but I've used that method before on my old REDMI 4 PRIME Ressurection Remix ROM for some apps that wouldn't work with CAMERA2API.
EDITED TO ADD: You can also use the same ADB method to change the properties (root needed):
ie.:
adb shell
su
setprop camera.hal1.packagelist com.google.camera,com.skype.raider
Hope that helps!

[MAGISK][P] Stock Camera HAL for custom ROMs

Description:
This module brings back Xiaomi's proprietary camera HAL and libraries to Pie custom ROMs and disables CDS mode to workaround green artifacts on 4.9 kernel.
It is only necessary for MIUI camera support and you really should avoid using it in other cases.
Disclaimer:
Once again, please don't install this unless you really need MIUI camera. Xiaomi's camera HAL is not as stable as the open source one, it leads to random issues with third-party camera apps and isn't really supported anymore.
And no, this doesn't install MIUI camera by default, you will need to use a separate module for it.
Download:
Stock Camera HAL for custom ROMs v3 (Google Drive)
"Source code":
https://github.com/Flex1911/tissot-stock-camhal

Great man [emoji2956]

not a memui camera lover but yea i always love Gcam
well as you shifted to Opensource hals which are stable af so in future anytime ? any possibilities that it will fix front portrait on gcam 6.xx?
just wanted to know about this otherwise gcam 5.xx works just perfect and once again great af job ??

Updated both stock Camera apps from A1 & A2 for proper compatibility with this module.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78913134&postcount=369
Just use one module at a time since both apps have the same package names.

Great work. Thanks from camera-addicted like me
We all are lucky to have a master like you working on our device.

The module have been updated:

As a workaround you can set selinux to permissive for a moment than back again to enforcing. This fixes this bug in my case.

I get black and white images with v2. With v1 works ok though.

To set Selinux permissive in a terminal with root access type:
Su
Setenforce 0
To re-set Selinux to enforcing type:
Su
Setenforce 1
Or use an app (Selinux mode changer).

[HOW TO] Enable Camera2API and install GCam

Hello everyone
UPDATE!!!
Now you can skip all the tutorial, and just install the magisk module:
"GCam enable for XiaomiMi8Lite", then you install the GCam.
Thanks to @ncandroid84
But if you want to do all the process manually:
I'm doing this post because no one knows how to do this and I have the solution so I want to share it with you.
First of all, I assume you are an advanced user and have rooted your device with the guides of xda forums, so don't ask about it, please.
Also I've seen that many people done magisk modules, scripts and blabla, but also many people said that those methods don't work, so this is the manual method.
So let's do this.
1. Install a build prop editor (search in play store) and add the following lines in "persist" part:
For Oreo:
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
persist.camera.eis.enable=1
persist.vendor.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
For Pie:
Batpope said:
For Pie you need the following settings in order to enable Camera2API correctly:
persist.vendor.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
persist.camera.eis.enable=1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now save and restart your device. Check with the app "Camera2 probe". You should see at hardware support level "LEVEL_3" checked and with green text.
If you see this, now you have Camera2 API enabled.
But... Front camera doesn't work anymore, with any app, so you have to replace a file.
2. Install a file manager with root that let you modify file permissions and access your root folder.
You should download the next file:
Oreo:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1w2Qw34Pmy0dLmlXRYRSm8JyKgEb2mZ6u/view
Pie:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1u7AREkr6_QKKdSZw2s_5itYk0xkKYTm2/view
-Copy the file.
-Now, go to to /vendor/lib and paste it. Replace the existing file.
-Now set the following permissions in the new file you pasted:
Owner: Read and write.
Group: Read.
Other: Read.
Or rw- r-- r-- for advanced users
Save and restart.
Now you see that front camera works fine with many apps except stock camera. This is when you install the gcam.
I'm using now the Arnova's Advanced 1.4 version downloadable at Celso Acevedo's page. (Google it).
Also, 4k recording doesn't work but you can use stock camera for this.
That's all and I hope I've helped you.

Hi! I did these steps into the build.prop but Camera API shows me the support level "LEVEL_3" in red

You need to download the libmmcamera_platina_imx576_sunny.so file posted above. Once you overwrite it, change the permissions and it should work.
Remember, after this fix the front camera won't work with the stock camera app, but it will work on all other apps, including gcam

Make sure you have edited the build.prop correctly.

I thought the API would be enable in the latest update to Pie. Or they will enable it in the next miui update?

Thank alot..
It worked for MI8 Lite Havoc-OS-v2.4..:good:

Hoping for getting a official update ?

Hello I have enable camera2api and installed gcam but my front camera doesn't work
my file explorer doesn't let me to paste and replace the fix file into root /vendor/lib i try to do it with other file explorer but i have the same problem.

Replacing the libs broke the instragam front cam.... Any solution?

Sometimes Gcam stops taking photos and i need to reboot the phone. It is normal? Any fix? I use latest Pixel Experience rom.
Do you have the same problem using Gcam in Miui?

I am on pixel experience too. I have noticed that the camera doesnt take pictures not only on gcam, but on every app that uses the camera. I have tried both caf and aosp versions of PE and i had this issue

How much better is quality of the photos from GCam over stock MIUI camera on this phone? Is it worth doing and loosing front camera in stock app (and have it just as 6 Mpx in other apps) over using just stock camera?
