I've read that image stabilization isn't working in some custom ROMs. Is there any custom ROM with the camera working well? I'm interested in a de-Googled ROM (ArrowOS vanilla seems to be the only option), or at least a de-bloated ROM, maybe even xiaomi.eu, but I don't want to lose the quality of the camera nor the GNSS/GPS precision (I bought this phone because of the dual-band GNSS). In general, I don't use any Google apps, from a data privacy motivation, though I guess GCam would be okay because I wouldn't give it network access. If I have to use Magisk, that's okay. My 115GNE is on stock MIUI 13.0.2 Global stable at the moment. I prefer solutions that allow easy OTA updating, but if that's not possible, please mention it. Thanks for your attention!

Hello everyone,
I am currently on lastest global developer ROM (MIUI 10), without twrp/root.
I would like to know, if flashing Xiaomi.eu-ROM (or is there something better?) would be worth it?
Is the ROM faster, "better", more battery friendly?
Are there advantages if you compare it to global dev ROM?
Or is stock android even better in terms of battery life, speed?
Also, I would like to flash gcam.
Is the gcam worth it? Or are the photos as good as the photos taken with miui cam?
Would you suggest me to install the gcam?
Or is the A2 camera even better? I've just read something about that.
Also, is there any way of getting rid of all those subfolders, that are created with the Portrait mode?
Saving only the bookeh-image into the Camera-folder would be great too.
I saw some GCam-Tool app, but I dont know if it works as it should, since I dont have the gcam yet.
And one thing more.
If I decide to Flash twrp/root..
I just have to Flash twrp via fastboot, boot into twrp and Flash supersu and that's it?
Also, is magisk "better" than supersu? Are there any benefits of having magisk than supersu?
I always had supersu, thats why Im asking.
Aand, if I decide to just root my phone, do I lose the OTA updates on global dev?
Big thanks.
bump.
Hi, does anyone know if there is any OREO 8.1 ROM that would support / could run OxygenOS stock camera?
The ROM should also fulfill these requirements:
non-OxygenOS based
still maintained, that is no EOL/Discontinued and so on
I have used Resurrection Remix [6.2.1][UNOFFICIAL] by @8224Freak which had this functionality. However, the ROM was lately discontinued, and I was contemplating changing the ROM anyway since there were some Bluetooth issues in last updates.
As far as I know, I cannot just download OxygenOS Camera app from APKMirror, install it to any custom ROM and expect it work.
I would prefer OREO-based ROM since I prefer stability over fancy new features, and since there is no official Pie ROM yet, I guess the Pie ROMs are not as stable as OREO.
Thanks a lot for your tips.
Just a tip, as I don't really know of any rom as per your wish,
Give a try to havoc OS which is pie based. Quit stable and smooth except few display glitches & sensitive long press .
This ROM provides link to download OP camera, which I have never used. I am happy with GCAM
OK, thanks for the tip. It seems that your suggestion is in accord what I have found until now. I could not find any other ROM except for the Havoc OS you have mentioned. I am also satisfied with GCAM except for 60fps videos - the videos often do not have 60fps (sometimes they drop just to 21-22fps). It seems that best and the most stable results I always had with original OxygenOS camera - the videos made by this camera were always very smooth - no stuttering or dropping frames whatsover.
Hey guys, I wanted to ask some questions...
1. Should I go for android P? What are the main features that would make me switch to it?
2. Should I go for LineageOS or OxygenOS? Again, what are the differences? Which one is better for battery? How strict is OOS for Xposed?
3. I saw some not-official Xposed's, are they working?

What do you mean how 'strict' is OOS for Xposed?
I haven't really needed to use Xposed for awhile. It was just so I could use YT with no ads/background playback. Now I use YT vanced. A lot of other features previously only available with Xposed are now either built-in or available as a Magisk module.
Also I'm not even sure if Xposed framework has been released for Pie...
As far as which rom to use, if you get replies here theyll be mostly split. Some swear OOS is better, some like the extra features you can get from AOSP or other custom ROMs.
Ive been using AOSP Derpfest for awhile now. It's fast, stable, decent battery and has enough extras built-in. Haven't used Lineage since it was CynanogenMod so I can't comment on that.
Forcus on stable, you should use OOS Pie
If you need extra feature, I such guest use AOSP. I personal is DU fan alongtime.
But you can try Code Name Phoenix or Omni Treskmod
OOS pie if you want a daily driver. While there are a number of decent custom roms out for pie (several of which are generally considered superior to LOS), they all have their own quirks and issues. Either way, if xposed is a must, you can use magisk to install edxposed, an unofficial pie port of xposed which remains controversial.
Use like oos or aosip. Both very stable.
Stock Oreo.
OOS Pie 9.0.4 introduces a lot more lag and scrolling jitter than OOS Oreo.
If you don't mind that, use Pie.
Can't comment on custom ROMs, but you're risking stability, camera performance and reliability if you use custom ROMs.
I can second omni treskmod it is totally smooth unlike stock pie rom and the battery is good too.

No lag here, Pie runs perfect.
I can say MSM xtended and Blissrom are very very stable. Everything works. Battery is very good and performance is top. Of course OOS should be even stabler but I personally prefer some custom rom features.
I currently have LOS 18.1 on oneplus 9 pro, the august 17th release and I don't have google services.
I'm wondering wheter there is a way of using the camera array properly as it would have been on oxygen OS. I mean, currently I can only use the main 48mpx camera and that's it. what I cannot do:
- using ultrawide camera lens
- recording more than 30 fps videos
I already tried Opencamera and Hedgecam2, none of them allows me to do that. gcam is out of the equation since I have no google services, but I strongly believe these issues are not caused by the camera apps but by LOS.
what can I do to improve LOS and fixing these issues?
Just go back to OOS my friend. That's what I had to do.
I personally love AOSP based roms but I don't think their integrated camera/gcam is stable enough, for now at least.
I myself tried Evolution X for about 2 weeks. The battery gets a major improvement if compared to OOS, but that's about it.
It can be used easily as a daily driver but the lack of OnePlus camera and many other features which were available in OOS led me back to it.
I'm currently running latest OOS with magisk updated.
I'll probably return to cRdroid/EvoX after their camera issues get resolved.
I just want to keep this for a while, if the problem do not goes away I'll have to install OOS and perform a GMS removal.
Why not gcam with microg? I've used microg just for gcam and disable network access to it and there you go, gcam with privacy.

there is no way you can install gcam in LOS without GMS.
then you are locked without camera features

He is suggesting you install microg; a cleaner fork of GMS, I am using it currently on my 7TPro and Gcam is working just fine with microg.
Is there not a way to pull the OOS camera and install it on LineageOS?
At this point, there are several ROMs with OOS camera, and a few without. The ones without, there are camera versions you can install but they don't have the auxiliary cameras available. At least not on EvolutionX. I can't seem to find any way to make them work either. I've tried several app versions and obtained a very recent OOS 13 fingerprint and setup device simulation props, and only the primary camera is detected. I even went as far as trying to use an installer for older OOS camera apps with a current OOS camera app, but I can't get it working. Tried looking at the CRDroid files and I can't see what they did either. I'm not a programmer nor an expert with ROMs but from what I can gather, I'd just need the right system or system_ext files, and maybe a particular app version, then I don't see why I couldn't compile a Magisk module similar to others I've found.
I would be interested too, nice question man
+1 from my side!
The final answer is NO.
OOS camera requires tons of OS side changes. Installing just the APK won't work at all. Porting an OOS camera to custom ROMs was already a mess and a complex thing.
The ROMs that don't include the OOS camera require additional commits/changes.
