[MOD] [REQUEST] Fixing video recording under bad lighting

Hi everyone.
After playing around with the camcorder, I came to this conclusion: Video recording works fine when shutter speed is over a value of approximately 25. Anything less than that, the phone starts dropping frames resulting in a horrible 14fps.
My request to any willing devs is this:
Can we modify the driver so that shutter speed doesn't drop below a certain value?
I sincerely believe that this would fix night time video.

Hello, we, 4PDA developers (@nhappymann @sad96 @serj87kz) have already made the second version of this fix. In it, the fix works on both the main and the front camera. Works on both 8.0 (Oreo) and 7.1.2 (Nougat)
Google drive: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1btN2_jom-j7alADnn4j6EoENDAM85pHQ
It's module for magisk v15+

Thank you!
I was looking for something like this everywhere but couldn't find it.
Sorry for double posting, let's just hope that Xiaomi will issue an official fix too.

i think this only works in SnapDragon camera app?

This also fixes slow motion (120fps) with Google Camera?

best gcam mod for redmi note 7

This thread is to discuss best gcam mod for Redmi Note 7.
Redmi Notes 7 supports Google Camera without unlocking the bootloader thanks to the native support for the 2API Room.
So how are we?

there's a thread started here
- https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-7/help/gcam-version-settings-people-using-t3896896

I think you have to try yourself since some features work while other don't + difference in Quality.
Maybe I will do a spreadsheet again (like for the RN5pro).

Go to Google Camera port hub on xda find port mi 9. Go to the link download 'Download xtreme version [updated 30/03/2019]' it works perfectly for me. even photobooth works.

Could you please let me know, what exactly the photobooth stands for?? I tried, but it does nothing.

a feature called Photobooth will also use AI to get the best shot, except it will work more like Google Clips. Set your Pixel 3 down somewhere and it will take photos when something interesting happens, or when all subjects are aligned and looking at the camera. It sounds like a selfie timer that knows exactly when to hit the shutter for you, but it will also offer you a range of images to choose from.
Copied ?

However, it just doesn't work on any gcam for RN7 that I've tried so far....

What do you mean by "it works perfectly for me"? Is everything working? like EIS in video recording?

The last 6.2 version by back.rider has everything working, it's the one I use daily: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-backrider/

I don't know what has been going wrong for me, but my phone running Chinese dev Rom doesn't work with any gcam mods, if it does the app only opens with a compatibility pop up, but then does run. Most others just close without any extra messages.

Actually disregard my earlier post, BSG released a build specifically for RN7 of which I have been using since and has not crashed on me yet on all features.
Build I'm referring to is:
MGC_6.2.024_RN7_V1.apk (BSG, 2019-04-20, redmi note 7, changelog)

This version has no option to disable camera sounds, right?

I think Bsg one is the best right now.

this version runs best on global device with samsung gm1 sensor. i use it also. but if you get force close on other versions in nightmode ,just disable sabre if awailable in gcam options. and when it hangs on creating HDR.just use google gallery in options...that fixed it fir me on other gcam versions. greatz....

Theoretically someone briliant cound make it possible to work.
But google camera uses special snapdragon processor architecture command (which dont have mtk). It is designed for snapdagon and almost every port of google camera use the same command to work and work only on snadragon processor. Google camera oryginally is designed for snapdragon google pixels.

ONE IMPORTANT NOTE FOR PEOPLE WHO SAY, THAT GOOGLE CAMERA WORK on this phone​
Yes, it work but WITHOUT HDR+ mode, then dont work HDR+ need snapdragon, this part of google camera

I saw in some app that is enabled

Guys, as far as I could understand, Redmi note 8 pro does not have full support, raw export is impossible. Tested on open camera.

Gcam apk (19.2mp)

Found it!
No Hdr+ support and lens blur crashes. The rest seems fine.

Impossible, unless you re-code the app.
Pixel's dont have a sd card, so there is no provision for it.

Thank you for the explanation

I've installed this on my XZP w/eXistenZ Pie and my XA2 w/LOS 17.1, and I'm not sure what the appeal is. What is this supposed to be better at than the stock Sony camera app, or any other camera app?

Anyone got comparisons? I have stock XZP no unlock, can i install this on mine? Thanks!

I have found that the Gcam Go works well with HDR running on this device.
The version of the Gcam Go with partial working HDR is called:
CameraGoHDR-2.apk
