Hi! I'd like to get Google Camera app with HDR+ on my Xiaomi Mi A1, but the official XDA port doesn't work. I've heard of some people using the app in SD625 devices, and the Mi A1 has the 625 SoC, so in theory it may be possible to port the app... I can't code, so does anyone know something about a download link that works on Mi A1 or can mod the XDA apk to work on the Mi A1?

Almost every ported gcam works on mia1, have you enabled Camera 2 api ? it needs that enabled to work.
Anyway , you find all these ports on this thread

I don't know how to enable the API: please explain me, if you can. Moreover, is it possible to add EIS to the stock camera or at least in Google Camera ported?

If you are rooted you have to add below line in build.prop -
Code:
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
after that reboot. you will have working gcam with HDR+. although the slomo option won't work. and you will have EIS too in gcam.

i think Google camera hdr+ need a snapdragon 820++ isn't it?
@thewarrior2 It doesn't, it needs a 64bit OS and a snapdragon SoC packing a certain Hexagon DSP
Can anybody post comparison pictures of hdr+ and stock xiaomi camera app? I am really interested in seeing the results before buying this phone.

If you cant find the difference by looking at the samples posted, then you dont need HDR+.
But the fact is the difference is night and day!
Google is primarily known for software, which is what HDR+ is all about.. It uses the camera h/w, takes many pics when you click the shutter button, each in different contrast, and applies some kick-ass machine learning algorithms on every pixel of each groups of pics it took, fuses all of them, to get awsome looking pics.. Thats all it does, and thats all that no other stock camera app does from any other manufacturer. Thats why it beats even iphone.
So basically, google does more through software , what all others achieve through multiple h/w.. Reason why pixel 2 still has single Camera.

The Google Camera with HDR+ uses algorithms that aren't possible to get with Camera1API, that's why Camera2API was developed. The GCam only opens if it detects that the new API is activated, otherwise it force closes.
If you have it activated and wanna see the difference between API1 and API2 download Open Camera, go to configurations, disable the option "use Camera2API" to force the use of API1, go to HDR mode and take a photo. It will take 3 pictures with different bracketing and merge them together, this process without API2 will take 5-10 seconds. After that go to configurations, enable the option "use Camera2API", go to HDR and take another picture. The process now will take up to 1-2 seconds. With API2 it's faster and the results are better.
Thanks for the explanation
just to help out people on a stock rom wondering why it immediately closes when they open it

Hi,
Does anyone know a version of Google Camera working for Samsung Galaxy A50 (Exynos 9610 Octa core) 2019 android 9.0?
Thanks.
Camera2API Spport
This device currently dont have camera2API support. When checked using Camera2API probe app, the highest support available is "Limited".
There is no use of GCam as of now.
Anyone got any gcam working on a50???
There is GCAM for A50
Here is the link.Try this.

To address your issue, I'm going to suggest you to change the aspect ratio. It's currently 9:16, right? So, you have multiple ratios available to choose from. So, the ratio that has the most pixels is the "3:4H". This is the highest you can get on your A50. Now you get crispier photos with larger photo size. Hope it helps! :laugh:
Install recent update and change camera settings.

Install recent update provided by samsung and change camera settings (set aspect ration to 3:4 H). Try using pro mode, which will give you satisfied output.

I tried latest Arnova version of gcam. While changing modes of camera, camera lens moves backward. You can confirm by seeing the movement through camera glass.
I am not sure if it is safe for the camera hardware or not.

Does the Portrait mode works on Front camera? inst working for me on my S9 SM960F [ EXYNOS]. Despite this, the rest of the functions work perfectly. I have already installed and configured more than 10 different versions of GCAM for Exynos processor and I did not succeed with portrait mode with the front camera, does anyone know which one works?

I know a lot of people used to think the stock camera was oversharpened, personally I think some images look a bit soft on auto, but pro mode especially using raw and editing in lightroom you get an amazingly sharp detailed photo

There must be a reason. If I was you I wouldn't count only on GCam. An update can disable it.
Since gauguin now has LOS 17.1 alpha and mi-globe currently the lack of a good working GCam is holding me back to seek to buy this one - and a little the imanent release of Redmi Note 10 Pro, which should have the same Snapdragon 750G and maybe Radio support.

Try this gcam mod - gave it a quick test and all basic functions seem to work
Video will record in 60fps without 4k option selected
30fps with 4k option selected - if you try 60fps the app will close and you need to clear data of app to use video again
