Blurry Group Selfies - Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers

All group selfies are unusable because of blur, I have the feeling it is not an out of focus blur, but the artificially applied portrait lens faking blur. Can't find more information or how to disable it?

Were you using portrait mode instead of photo mode?

Would it be difficult to implement a way for front-facing photos in Google camera to be saved as they are previewed in the viewfinder like in Snapchat, Instagram, etc?

It would be kinda difficult, but why do you want to take a screenshot of the viewfinder rather than using hdr+ which is superior to any other phone in every way, There is prob a camera app out there that can do this, lemme do some searching for you

I suppose I'm moreso looking for a way for my photos to mirror back to how they appear in the viewfinder. Not so much much a screenshot of the view finder, but an automatic vertical flip of photos taken with the front-facing camera. I was just curious, thank you

[Request] Port Oxygen OS Camera from 5T for Custom ROM

Just a humble request to all who have knowledge to port apps.
Please port the oxygen os camera from OnePlus 5T for Custom ROMs.
The already ported camera is not working in 5T due to differences in camera lenses.
I know many of you will saying use Google Camera it is better than the Oxygen OS, so i agree with you but none of the google cam is also working fine in 5T.
Some google cam has pinkish images, some has broken front cam, some has black screen on front cam, some doesn't has HDRa in rear and front and some has camera crash ui error so, some doesn't have touch to focus ability.
I saw in Oneplus 5 forum, the ported camera is working fine with Portrait mode even front camera is also working. But that camera is not working in OP5T.
You again requesting here to port Oxygen OS camera from OnePlus5T for custom ROMs.
Note: Please do not compare google camera with Oxygen OS as you already know google cam is not stable enough in OP5T.
Just hoping for the best.
Thanks.
I'd like that as well ! The only reason why I'm keeping OOS is because of the camera (and the portrait mode that I use a lot) but as soon as it's ported I'll change
I also want this port. Hope some dev soon port this.

There's one here. I'm using it with OmniRom but the app doesn't connect to the gallery after taking a picture.

Yeah with the OnePlus 5T. It was working fine on the 1st day but was severely crashing on the next. I take back my recommendation on this. Sorry. I believe there was no portrait mode.

U can get portrait mode on the 5T with Google mod camera. I've used it on at least 4 ROMs and it worked flawlessly and also has front facing portrait which OnePlus cam does not have. I had HDR, HDR+, front and rear portrait, burst, lens blur, everything. Read up a little about the gcam mod and get it working. It's well worth it and portrait mode works great.

Alright so this is by my far my favorite one and the Urikill versions have been for awhile. Now, others work, u just have to play with settings. First off, you have to flash this for front camera portrait mode fix and HDR in front can to get It working. https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/...sk-front-camera-fix-oreo-4MP-op5-5t-v1.1.zip. There's other methods to besides this zip but this is the easiest way for me. Second, here is the camera I use, https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/MGC_5.1.018_Urikill_vXXII.apk. I will attach some screenshots of my settings, but again most of these can be tweaked and changed to your liking. I have HDR working for front cam in portrait mode. Regular front cam doesn't work, but you don't need it because portrait mode front cam takes the blur photo and regular, both HDR. Also, I have HDR working on regular can as well. Regular HDR and HDR+ enhanced if needed.
I stress again, that many of the camera apks work, this is just my favorite and right for me. I also stress again that many of the settings can be tweaked and changed to your liking. If it breaks something, switch it back. You have to play, and play, and play. I did for a long time until I found the perfect setup for me and all things working. Anything there is not a screenshot of is default. Hope you get it working. If you have trouble or questions the original Google cam mod thread, and there is also one specifically for the 5T has a lot of answers and help, that's where I got it. Also this page, has all the info u need off the most part, https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/#apk195. This is probably the most help I can offer, lol.

So, here is the conclusion... Front cam not working ... The only way to work with front cam is portrait mode... And that's the thing I don't want.
Thank you for posting your comment and you proved it us right as Google cam never be compare with Oxygen OS camera untill google cam get fix.

Update.from 8.8.30 till 8.9.3 Miui version gcam didnt have "washed out" colors.unfortunately from 8.9.4 they return....but thanks to NatronCH and extremegreat we got the solution from version 8.9.4 and after. flash this fix for washed out colors
https://www.filedropper.com/polarisfixgcamcolors theres also a magisk module for color fix also. https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4591757&d=1536468359. BEST WORKING NEW VERSION. https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/MGC_5.3.015_MI8_V1a.apk
I have tried several on MIUI China Dev rom. Whenever you activate any of the HDR functions, the camera starts to lag significantly and it is not possible to take any pictures. I think that someone reported it working on the P preview rom though.
Edit: I have just tried some latest version of Arnvoa Gcam port and portrait mode works perfectly.
Although the HDR effect does not apply, the portrait mode works for both front and back camera.
The only problem is a blue-ish tint on the front camera. But it works!

Nice to hear this. Does HDR+ works on both Rear and front camera?
Does the front camera go up side down?
HDR+ works on both front and rear cameras. Front camera does not go up side down.
The versions mentioned are not working with hdr+ mode. When you shot and try to see the photo is missing the "hdr proccesing" msg. Any other version i tryied its just lagging the camera when try to setup (ie nexus 6 or pixel2)...

Not work hdr+ on mix 2s( checked for MIUI and Android p. Two options: the photo is taken without HDR+ or the camera application is closed
Xiaomi Mix 2S IMX363 sensor have very similar spec comparing to Google Pixel 2. I think if the Google Camera Mod is fixed, it would give the very close result of what Pixel 2 get. Just like the Mi 5s got the same sensor as Pixel 1.
I tried most versions with my Mix 2s on Global ROM 9.5.18.0 and when I try to use portrait mode it freezes and stops working. The portrait mode on the default cam app sucks hard!

I agree, it is REALLY bad. The camera overall can take pretty good pictures but the portrait mode shots look terrible when the subject is a person. There's a ton of detail lost and their faces look washed out and smoothed out somehow.
Someone can post me a link to download the miui camera app?
I've the dp2 ROM and I've forgot to backup it
(You can simply use amaze file manager and go in the app manager menu to backup it)

I agree. The stock camera uses the tele photo lens above the standard lens to make portrait mode pictures. I've only found great/acceptable results taken portrait mode fotos in broad daylight. Anything taken in doors are useless. Shame, as the standard sensor is so much better and comparable to the pixel phones in terms of capabilities.
Hungry for Gcam port to 2s that works as good as they do on the Mix 2.

Ok but, anyway, is 20mpx camera exploited by gcam to get better photo in some way or only the 16mpx cam is used in every situation so 20mpx is never "powered on"?

In OOS 20MP camera is used only in auto mode and portrait to detect depth. It shoots 20MP photo then magic OP software interpolate it to lower res to "improve quality and decrease noise" and then i don't know why, extrapolates that image back to 20MP. If i'm right it is written in camera HAL so we can't do nothing with it... Test it by Yourself, just type *#*#1597#*#* in dialer and take photo with "tele" and "wide" in sunny day.
I'm not sure 100% about it, correct me if i'm wrong.

Dialer? Why using dialer to take photo?
@rmroot You use dialer to input this code I wrote earlier. It opens camera app which now allows You to switch lenses manually.

Why google camera flipping of front camera photos?

I just can’t believe that the best market front camera does not have flipped photo mode, so disappointed.
The GCam Tool doesnt work :crying:
Is there any solution?
yes, i am disappointed too...
Hello, I am the developer of GCam Tool. I had replied to your Play Store review, with my email address ([email protected]), requesting you to get in touch. Nevermind, let me help you here.
First of all, could you please check your selfie using a third party gallery app like Piktures? Sometimes the gallery inside Google Camera app is slow to refresh thumbnail and so it might show it flipped but the actual selfie might not be.

What do you mean by flipped photo mode? My front camera photos all come out in the proper orientation, where the image matches the perspective of someone who is standing in front of me.
I'm using the gcam mod and it works fine. For selfies not being mirrored that is.
Apptuners you're right in saying Google photos is a little slower to update but it does work

But it is like a mirror reflection of what you see in the camera preview, isn't it? What you are saying is logically the correct way as even the writings on your clothes will be readable. Still I guess some people (myself included) prefer to have the output exactly as you see in the preview.

Thank you. That is great to know.
i hope google will fix this with an option to choose.
i prefer to see the same result as i see in my camera before i shoot
Glad I'm not the only one. It feels weird and unnatural when the picture isn't like in the preview. I know it's the way people see you but still I rather the pic be the same as the preview

Hold something with writing on it in front of you while doing a selfie. The screen will display the writing backwards. But the pic will show the writing correctly.
I like it the way it is.
Thnk god now they have added a setting to save the selfie just as previewed.
i am facing the same problem, when i open the front camera in potrait mode it doesn't capture what it shows, it flips the image, i wish if there was an option to restrict flipping images...
