GCAM for Pixel Experience - Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers

Any suggestions? Stock camera is worse than GCAM for MIUI 11.

Check the Gcam mods site.
If you're looking for a Gcam that works with all lenses... unfortunately there is none right now.
There is the Tigr mod that I'm using with config files for the 8T, it makes the main and wide lens work like a charm, the 48 MP and the macro don't it has some bugs but its usable.
I suggest to read how to load the config file, because not every Gcam mod loads these files the same way.

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.

Question about Arnova's Google Cam for OP5T and its fix

While looking for a nice Google Cam port for this handset, the XDA Portal Google Cam Hub mentioned Arnova's port. I've also seen that there is a fix for our device so that the port works properly, and that it needs root or TWRP to be installed. Without root and with the stock recovery, I proceeded to install the GCam port and used it for a couple of days, comparing its pics with others from the stock camera app. I have a couple of questions:
I've noticed no difference in quality. Do I need to adjust something in the settings of the ported APK other than to prevent the camera from taking purple photos? Maybe I'm doing something wrong and the quality could be better, maybe on the OP5T there isn't a big difference in camera quality between stock and GCam, and I just don't know it.
Is the fix needed if I'm just going to use the ported APK to take still pictures with the rear camera? I've read that the fix just deals with recording video and with the front camera.
Thank you beforehand. Probably there are details that I failed to read when I was searching for the port, but with this GCam thing being so decentralized it's a mess.
The image quality es better, less postprocessing and HDR+ it's just fantastic and GCam always perfect White Balance
I found that some versions of Arnova has that purple thing, just try diferents versions and stick to the best one (it depends if your ROM has the libs like Omnirom Treskmod)

Question Gcam XML configs for OnePlus 9 Pro (seamless zoom, library etc)

Hi everyone, I have been using BSG Gcam on my OnePlus 9 Pro as I heard it's most stable but was wondering if anyone had a good config file that allows zoom between different lenses without needing to restart the camera app, and has a seamless transition between them?
Also if there is one that has ultra wide at 4k60 but wide at 4k30 by default that would be great, as currently it always seems to default to 4k60 on the wide main cam which makes it crash.
Thanks!
Oh yes, I noticed there's an option for libraries. Does that mean it's possible to export the OOS camera library and import it to Gcam to get the hasselblad colour processing?
Just wanted to bump. Especially wondering about the image processing library option When comparing the images from the OOS cam to GCam the images look a bit desaturated and flat (which is pixel style) but would be really curious to see GCam with OP colours
Another bump here
Check out the current discussion on this topic.

Currently, there is no support for GCAM to take 4K videos for oos12 or 12-based custom roms!

Using ROMS, What's the Best Camera App?

Since the OP5T is no longer supported, I started looking at ROMs.
I've never cared to use ROMs, because none of them in the past, ever had a camera app that could equal the OnePlus camera on this phone.
But, have times changed, and now there are some camera apps just as good?
At the moment I'm using e/ and it uses the Open Camera, I don't find this to be a good replacement at all.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, to figure out what's the best camera app for this phone.
It's always been my understanding Arnova8G2 is the best.
So I've been thinking to use 'Gcam-8.1.101.build-V6.2.211013.2305_Snap', any thoughts on this version?'

Does anyone know if there are Configs for this phone Arnova8G2's GCam?

I thought I had to download the apk; Gcam-8.1.101.build-V6.2.211013
Does anyone also know if this OnePlus 5/5T Front Camera Fix is still relevant to use in any of the Developer's GCam apps? When I tried it with Nikita's GCam the phone Settings would no longer open and crash... hmm :/

Question Gcam ports

I've been wondering if anyone tried any GCam ports.
If yes, could you please share which port and your configuration file, please?
I've used all major GCam including MGC, Arnova, Nikita and so on. Almost all of them worked perfectly with a bit of caveat. However, BSG port 8.1 is the best one. Cause it's lightweight, fast and works every option with every lens out of the box. Normally no need for any configuration for it to work nicely. But here is my config file anyway. However, I haven't been able to shoot with full 50MP resolution. If you or anyone have any good config I'd love to try that.
