This will be a dedicated thread for the different Google Camera ports working for the Xiaomi Mi A1 since other threads are not being updated by their OPs and I will try to maintain this one like the OnePlus 6 Google Camera Port thread. These are the most stable GCam ports for our device and I'll be updating this thread each time a new port is available.

Thanks! Added to the OP
Rom version: Nitrogen OS 9.0
Gcam version : GCam_Pixel3Mod_1_build.6.1.013
Feedback : front photo green
Photo captured :
Here some sample for comparison,
App: MGC_6.1.013_MiMAX2_V1b_A8.1+
Rom: Stock 8.1
Darker ones are shot with HDR+ enhanced mode and Brighter ones are with Night Mode
Everything is working fine in Arnova8G2 GCam_Pixel3Mod_1_build.6.1.013 except front camera. All the pictures taken with front cam are greenish and blurry. Night sight working like a charm. I'm on LiquidRemix 10.0.1 pie ROM. Here are some samples.
GCam with HDR+ GCam with Night Sight
GCam with HDR+ GCam with Night SightGCam_Pixel3Mod_1_build.6.1.013
Appreciate the feedback guys! Keep them coming!
Great thread! Quick question tho, anyone still getting the dot pattern bug when shooting bright blue skies and bright colors? It shows when zooming in photos taken with hdr+
The front camera will be fixed in the next version, i talked to aranova and he will fix it.
The arnova pixel3 version works a bit slow/laggy for me, also no live picture in night mode, although it works/produces the image. BSG version works better, except for the annoying "hexagon" popup.
Side question - which is the best/most stable gcam version with ZSL/motion stills/slomo? I used a pretty old one, I wonder if there was any progress to this day - will try the ones in 1st post tomorrow.
p.s is there any way of having several camera apps installed? Usually it wants to overwrite the current one, although id like to test a few ones parallel.
cheers,
j.

Did not test this with the BSG mod I installed, but the front camera is green. And it says "hexagon failed" when taking a portrait or night photo but it still seems to work. Could you edit the post and add this? Thanks

All 6.1+ versions still have front cam issues if you'd read previous replies.

The 625 is weak and zsl and other features would be too much for it.
Some launchers can rename apps. App cloners should also be able do it.
Great to join this thread..
hope front face camera will be fix soon
Thanks bro

Have you installed it on PIE rom?
The latest version is not only for 4x
I tested on pie and oreo, works great and fast
also you can manual focus and manual iso

I tried it on pie...
1. Focus is very bad working.
2. Back camera takes monochrom. photos.
Gcams updated in the first post.
I have been testing some ports, and now, with Android PIE the best for me is:
Gcam-6.1-minimal-test.apk (Tolyan009, 2019-01-29, android 9+, changelog)
In advance options (or similar, i have the mobile in spanish) u should disable portrait zoom, and active enchanced HDR. I use the "normal" GCam mode in large range photos, and it´s focused, when the camera cant focus i use the portrait mode (wihout de artificial zoom) and the tap focus is working aceptably. Night mode "works", not as it should, sometimes it´s in focus, sometimes not. I think i probed about the last 15 or 20 ports of GCam and been trying to change BSG configurations but i don´t find a better results than this "minimal" port.
Hope it be helpfully.

You havent right. The first post contains focus working gcams...
well, have been testing most modded gcams here : https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
and unfortunately the reality is,
- focus is broken since our device got PIE. on oreo, it was perfect, photo shoot&forget... all sharp photos, no blurriness
(any betatesters reading here? maybe xiaomi will have a reason to ignore this issue because first root is needed to enable camera2api before but this focus issue becomes really irritating as 3 OTA's arrived after PIE)
- other methods mentioned here are all temporary: switching to portrait mode and then photo mode , or changing resolution to 16:9...
cameras updated in the first post.
did you use all this? (when enabling camera2 api, on mi a2 forums, they said they had problems in night mode, when not using all this setprops)
setprop persist.camera.HAL3.enabled 1
setprop persist.vendor.camera.HAL3.enabled 1
setprop persist.camera.stats.test 5
setprop persist.vendor.camera.stats.test 5
gcam pixel3mode for a2 pie rom
with this camera, everything is working except, portrait with hdr.
even slow motion, that is 1st time its working on gcam 6.+
and flashlight is not striking to soon. (on normal photo mode)

I've tried. But i can't compare.
People on A2 forums, told, you cant use G Camera 6.1+, properly if u don't use use all these strings ,
when you enable camera2api.
I did all that, but i cant compare.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/how-to/camera2api-mi-a2-using-temporary-root-t3869543/page2
in this link they said its neccesary to use all that, if u wanna use gcam 6.1, after pie update,
if u use oreo its enough just 1st line.

A2lite isnt A2. Problem is NOT version of gcam. Problem is focus issue on A2lite and it seems only xiaomi developers can fix it. Maybe in one of next pie versions.

Yep focus does not work, tried at night.
With original camera it does, only gcam problem i think.
I have tested a bunch of GCam mods and found that best results come with versions optimized for Nokia 7 Plus - N7P.
Working ver. 6 GCam_6.1.021_N7P_test2.3 can be downloaded from here: https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/GCam_6.1.021_N7P_test2.3.apk
Most of the stuff that I tested works - slefie cam with HDR does not work though.

I'm using this app, but the result photos can't be viewed via gcam app (gcam picture viewer is broken), must using external gallery.
Edit: I actually can view photos directly via gcam gallery, I changed the gcam setting on "using classic photo viewer"
Google Camera (GCam-6.2.030_Arnova8G2_Urnyx05-v2.1) tested on Android Pie (July updates) with perfect focus for Xiaomi MI A2 Lite.
Bugs found so far:
- Don't disable HDR, because photos will be in lower resolution than 12 MP (for main camera).
- You need to disable HDR for front (selfie) camera
- Photos taken in Portrait and Night Sight mode in front (selfie) camera won't be saved.
- Photobooth.

For Mi A2 Lite I found that the front camera won't save photos in portrait and night sight mode. Everything else is working including touch to focus which is really good.

Even if I do this, in Portrait and Night Sight, it won't work. But It works well in the "camera" mode.
Nope, tap to focus doesn't work for me. Stock pie.
can someone confirm that the autofocus is working with this gcam on the a2 lite with stock pie?
works on device without root? I installed it but it closes every time I open it

Gcam 6.2.30 on S10 plus looks fine in viewfinder but after processing there's a green yellow tint to final images, tried all manner of settings, stock app is sharper and more natural on this Snapdragon variant I have.
Hi,
Since MIUI12 I'm inclined again to switch to CFW ROMs, but I need to know if the camera can be usable!
Please post some photos taken with ANX Camera or Google Camera, so I can decide.
Thanks
Hello, ANX Camera work as a charm, 64MP, Macro, Night...
There's only a bug with portrait item that does'nt work (under Pixel Experience and v190 ANX).
Hope it will fix soon.
I test many others (opencamera, gcamn etc) and I keep ANX Camera witch seems to me far better.

I am using Havoc OS. It runs quite awesome. Only bug i could find so far is Portrait Mode in ANX (none of the fixes work) and i am using Version 184. Important: Download ANXCamera Pro tool from PlayStore and unlock RAW! Normal JPEG are fine aswell but only RAW give the ability to Post Process for special areas of Photography. For example Astrophotography
Kindly provide link of gcam which works.
It'd be awesome if aux cam also works without root etc
Hi, I have the x51 5G which is the same phone but for the european market, and the latest Arnova stable works perfectly, albeit just the main cam.
Latest BSG works fine also, but since there is no libpatcher available in the mod, the picture quality isn't any better than stock, and I would say it is less detailed.
Arnova mod is tweakable to your liking, and is very good once tuned right.
No luck yet at getting the other lenses to work...

Hey mate, could you post Camera2 API results from "Camera2 API Probe" app from the Play Store? It should provide some information about the camera2 API capabilities, and let us know if auxiliary lenses are "blocked" from being accessed by GCam ports. A screenshot would be perfect. Thanks in advance.
Hello everyone,
So I actually decided to buy this phone (European X51 5G) and only the main & front camera seem to work in GCam ports. Portrait lens, periscope, wide angle - they don't work. They're not even showing up in the camera2 API probe. Main camera and selfie camera are both level_3.
I'm currently on the latest Funtouch version which is PD2005F_EX_A_36.7.11 (Android 11). The GCam ports that I've tried and can confirm work well are:
trCamera (Xmas release) : LINK
Nikita NGcam 7.4.104-v2.0 : LINK
The only issue I've been facing is with trCamera, when enabling focus tracking, the app just crashes. Other than that, these two GCam ports work very well and are highly customizable.
im not sure what for do u need google camera. Stock camera app does really great pictures and have most gcam feautures

Hey mate, since a recent update, I'm now able to use AUX lenses in GCam. Weird if VIVO intentionally enabled this, but it's very nice nonetheless.
I'm on Funtouch 11 Global (build PD2005F_EX_A_36.8.3)
You have the X50 Pro so not exactly the same firmware, but it's worth a try to update your phone to the latest version, and see if it works or not.
