Updated GCAM version for Redmi Note 4 Global edition? Available or not? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

Hello all,
I am searching now for a longer time to find out how to install the GCAM on my Redmi Note 4. But now I am thinking there is NO GCAM for Redmi Note 4 available.
Tried to search on en.miui.com / google.com for a proper installation guide. But nothing found.
To confirm there is really now GCAM updated available for the REDMI NOTE 4 GLOBAL? can somebody tell me why or if there is a GCAM where to look?
I am now on LineageOS14.2 with the latest update from a few days ago. And I already downloaded the following:
buildprop editor - persist.camera.HAL3=enabled-1 , and I have now full access. But now to find the GCAM for Note 4 is a more pain in duh asser.

Hey buddy join RN4 official group on telegram.....

Lineage has camera.api 2 already enabled, so there's no need to edit your buildprop.
There are lots of topics about GCam on our phone. Here's one for example:

Thank you I will try it.
One more question why all the GCAM version are tweaked by the phone model? Since this is a APK it should work on all devices after changing some things like the persist.camera.HAL3 module etcetc.
In the Oneplus topic I saw a topic with the complete details for specially Oneplus created.

Hallo,
most versions are not specifically made for our RN4, but work regardless. One exception is the version by UriKill, a russian developer from 4pda.ru, he posted it in a RN4 photography thread. It has a new slowshutter mode (for low light only) in the options that removes some noise in low light fairly well, but you gotta hold for phone still for a few seconds. In the Options put Model: 5x, Config 5x, HDR Setting: Low (the setting "Highest" doesnt make a difference in quality, just takes longer time).

ROM Problems

I have a rooted Xiaomi Redmi Note 4, Snapdragon variant. I have installed custom ROM ( Cardinal AOSP) on my device and rooted it.
Recently, I have used Build-prop editor to fake my device to be PIXEL 2 XL, to get Google Lens feature working on my Google assistant. I now wanna install Xposed Framework. Can someone tell me how and for every such thing, should I use builds for Redmi note 4 or for Pixel 2 XL?
P.S.: please don't suggest me to rename using build prop editor back to redmi note 4.

I don't have this device but, your best bet is to post this question within the following Q&A thread that's specific to your device.

Can you please be more specific?

Only flash things made for your device. Not what ever you put in the build prop. Had you done your research you would understand this.
obviously, Redmi Note 4. Your device doesn't change by faking its name in build.prop
Thanks ?!

I install pixel experience 9.0

After restarting it again install all setup , when restore setup come , it's restart again and again,
This problem comes after restart REDMI NOTE3
AFTER FACING ALL PROBLEM I DONE RESTORE FACTORY RESET AND AGAIN REINSTALL THEN IT WORKS BUT AFTER RESTARTING I FACING ABOVE PROBLEM AGAIN
Please give me solution
1 st your posting in development thread which is not the right place for your query.
2nd Which device have you this is for Mediatek devices and there is not a Pie rom for them.
3rd Look at PE Thread and you would see it is a problem with the rom, flashing the VoLTE patch fixes it. Or wait for rom update.
Oh dear - you've done goofed up - Hennessey-based devices (Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 - MediaTek Edition) doesn't get anywhere near as much development as the Kenzo-Kate devices (Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 - Qualcomm Snapdragon 2GB/3GB RAM Editions), and Android Pie isn't even developed for the MediaTek version of the phone.

Don't go around asking for stuff, we don't get paid for this, you caused a problem, you're the one who needs to fix it, no one has any obligation to help.
That said, if you had read the thread instead of just downloading the ROM you'd have noticed tons of people with the same problem and all have been given the same solution, flash the VoLTE fix.
Also, you posted on the wrong forum, this one is for mediatek based devices.
Guys, don't mind to reply OP. This man doesn't know how to read properly

No you don't install Pixel Experience 9.0. It isn't available for this device (henessy).
If you have kenzo or kate, then you want the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] forum.

Working Gcam for exynos(pie/oneui)

Hey guys,
I am just fed up of searching the camera app for galaxy S9 plus but as we all know gcam is way better than stock camera for s9+. Another thread is there but it is only for oreo and also one for Snapdragon one ui but nothing for exypie
So please tell about exynos + pie .
Thanks to all.
There is another thread open with this subject here:

But nothing for pie or can say indirectly for oneui 1

Roms for Excalibur

Since an unofficial twrp is available now and I've found some new roms, this post is an update
There are plenty of roms if you know what to look for, you just need to look for custom roms for "miatoll" and you'll find a couple of roms.
I will still add the links over here.
The roms I found earlier
Pixel Experience
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-9-pro/development/rom-pixel-experience-t4158325
Gsi
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-9-pro/development/gsi-t4105121
Msm extended
https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-m2-pro/development/rom-msm-xtended-v12-5-t4151947
The new ones that I have tried in the last 7 days:
Arrow os
Evolution X
Freaky Os
Pixie Os
Pixel Extended
Stag os
Statix Os
Telegram Channel
MOD EDIT: Link Removed
Join that telegram channel and you'll find all the download links.
Except the freaky os, rest of the rom had pretty smooth ui
While flashing any rom if you get the error: couldn't find or mount "/system_root" or "product"
Ignore it and reboot the system normally, you will get that while flashing pixis os
Statix os is based on android 11 but after flashing it, I wasn't getting any network signal.
USE Pitch black recovery it works just fine
Thank you so much for this thread, you won't believe me, but I did the exact same thing, I flashed the stock rom and locked my bootloader by accident, now I have a 20 day wait period. I'll try these and report for bugs, sot, charge speeds, etc. Hope development picks up pace. Really love the phone.
I am also getting error 7 for flashing any rom.
U can "reboot to recovery" again.
Then flash the ROM.
U won't get Error 7.

we could really use an unified thread like we have one for the t and non t series oneplus devices that is cross device development link.
Reasons? copypasta from the one of the roms link from the op's post.
Q: What do you mean by "Unified" in the thread title?
A:*Redmi Note 9S or Indian Redmi Note 9 Pro (curtana), Redmi Note 9 Pro Global Global (joyuese), Redmi Note 9 Pro Max (excalibur), POCO M2 Pro (gram) are basically the same devices, the only significant difference is the 33W charging support on the gram, joyuese & excalibur with joyuese having NFC as well. So I have decided to do a single, unified build for supporting curtain, Excalibur, gram & joyuese.

I got a waiting period of 168 hours .Simple procedure. Unlocked already.
Reporting back after testing following roms.
Arrow OS - Launcher 3 looks weird it never showed the date and weather widget, search widget looks weird, fast charging not working tried with 33w and 18w, Amazing thing is ANXcam is included in this rom.
Pixel Experience UNOFFICIAL - Never passed the setup screen it always crashes after clicking next on the very first setup step
Pixel Experience OFFICIAL[MIATOLL] - Fast charging does work.
Evolution-X - Works good. fast/turbocharging information showed are wrong. useful customization options. and to be honest a good support community
Device - Note 9 Pro Max [Excalibur]

Why no official ROMs for this device?
I was planning to buy, but with no Custom ROMs around, I am rethinking.

Official roms are there. Just the thing is that the custom roms for Xiaomi phone having 720g processor are being developed under "miatoll" codename
Its like Mi= Xiaomi
Atoll= 720g processor
PixisOs, pixel extended, Msm extended, Crdroid all are official roms

Try pixel extended , it does support fast charging , good battery life and its smooth just less customizations and you will have to flash anx camera manually.

Is there a mod that makes back cam appear as selfie cam in apps?

On my phone I have LineageOS 17.1 (official). Redmi Note 8.
Long story short, my selfie cam is not existing in software terms because Xiaomi uses newer sensors and LineageOS doesnt have the right driver for them.
So basically cam apps doesnt have switcher for front and back cams etc.
There are some apps that require you to make a selfie at login, and they are crashing.
I need to hack around so Android would lie to these apps that my back cam is a selfie cam, so they would work.
Is there a mod for this situation?
Thanks.
I found some older tutorial for other device: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/q-camera-swap-on-rooted-tf101.1699299/
Will check it later.

Basically the file mentioned in the tutorial does not exist for Redmi Note 8 / LOS 17.1
I will write a detailed tutorial in the proper device forum.
Temporary solution with tutorial: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/mod-tutorial-use-back-cam-as-selfie-cam.4232687/
Note that this only applies to Redmi Note 8, but might be adopted to some other models too.
