Very poor quality resolution on panorama photos

Same issue in google camera even when I set settings to high quality. It jus doesn't want to shoot a non pixelated image. Why would this be?

It's the mediatek version. ROM is 7.2.5.0. I did the antutu test and it said it was real. I bought it from the big Suning electronic store in China, from the Mi vendor. The camera goes low res as soon as you select panorama, very noticable, almost blurry.

It does exist only 2 options in this caser the device is fake or is a defective unit.Try Atutu Officer to see if pass the test.Mine is SD version 32 GB,but i dont have any problem with camra at all.You must don't have trust in chinese sellers.
Slow motion video also not good

No, it's not fake. I checked with the app. And I went to expensive SunDan centre, they do not sell fake phones, and checked the demo phone's camera - same problem! Very low res.
The rom version you described is not the rom's version. I think it is miui version.
I believe the mediatek one is 13MP compared to 16MP on the SD version, but that shouldn't be a reason for low res, I guess you could try another camera app from google play that supports panorama photo.
7.2.50 seems like an old firmware - or fake vendor/generic firmware
-
Version: V7.5.1.0.LHNCNDE (MIUI7) is the latest - but I don't see a global firmware for this device - only the chinese - which might explain why they put the generic firmware in .

Same problem
Hello, I have same problem with Google camera. I like to pick panoramas but it has very poor quality, even when I set High resolution panorama.
Panorama in default xiaomi app is good, no problem. I have Note 3 with SD/3gb/32gb.
Please, can you help me? Or do you know another app with more types of panorama like Google's one?

Confusion between Camera Sensors?

Hello, I have purchased Redmi Note 4 (sd 625) India via Flipkart. The same phone is also purchased by my friend via Flipkart.
But I notice variation between my and his camera and when I dig out the problem I come to the result that both phone has different camera modules.
I've a Sony imx258 back camera but he has a Samsung S5k3l8 back camera. So, I contacted some more Redmi Note 4 users and some of them have Samsung Sensor while some have sony.
So my question is while flashing any custom ROM will my camera work or not? As I think the camera blobs for both devices are different.
Note:- To view your camera sensor just go to Settings>About Phone>tap kernel version 5 times>version information.

Camera works fine for both sensors . However, the slow motion and other feature enabling tricks work only on Sony sensor.
You got lucky. Xiaomi changed the camera sensor from first Sony to Samsung and then to Omnivision. Sony is the best, Samsung is fine and Omnivision is the worst out of this three sensors.
You shouldn't get any difference if installing a custom ROM

You're right maybe I'm extra lucky cause I ordered it in the month of July and still I get Sony IMX
My friend broke his RN4 display and he's selling the phone and when I asked him, He is willing to exchange the camera sensor(He has the sony sensor whereas I've the samsung) Can I just pop out his camera sensor and plug it in into my device or things are different on the software level too?

Technically it should work because the drivers for the 3 different modules are already installed within the ROM.
What is the product number of you and your friend's device? It should be on the box (2016101 or 2016102). And would you be able to take a picture of your friend's Sony module? A lot of people on a different thread are trying to replace their Samusng/Omnivision modules with about 50% success because we don't know the exact numbers of module code of the IMX258
Thanks in advance!

Which camera sensor are the new lots of RN4 shipping with in India?

Hi All
I am planning to buy a RN4 from Flipkart.
To one of my queries in Lineage OS thread, one user responded the following:

----------------------------------------------------
I've read that the modded Google cam is the best camera for custom roms possibly even better than stock MIUI as there are settings that you can tweak to get the best possible photo quality however there is a huge catch, it doesn't work with Omnivision camera. Well technically, it still works but you don't have HDR which is pointless as the app was modded for HDR to work.
There is a huge chance that you'll get Omnivision if you buy brand new as newer note 4x batches no longer comes with Sony or Samsung camera. Hopefully the October 6 camera commit by highwaystar on Lineage fixes this.
Yes, you can flash MIUI camera ported from MI A1 but HDR and few other features does not work and yes there is camera quality degradation which is very common on non-nexus/pixel devices as there are proprietary libs/drivers that's closed source.
---------------------------------------------------
People who bought RN4 recently from Flipkart, please help me make an informed decision by mentioning what camera sensro you got?
Sony / Samsung or omnivision?

LCD Tianma?
Regarding FP Sensor I got confused. Goodix has issues with some roms right? or is it FPC?

I don't know about LCD. And yes oreo roms has issues with goodix sensor right now, but devs are trying hard to get it fixed and eventually it will.
Doesn't matter where you buy it, it's 100% random you can get anything.

Agree
Which app are you using to check what the hardware is? I wanna check my camera and FP sensor too, since I bought from Flipkart too during that sale. Thanks.

Doesn't work on custom rom I am guessing? On RR.

GCam

Just received my Mi Note 10 today and thought I'd kick things off to try and find the best GCam app.
After looking around, I've found one that supports three of the rear cameras (main sensor, wide and 2x zoom).
The build is: Gcam_6.1.021_Advanced_V1.6-Fu24_5Lens-01h.apk
I'm a new user, so can't share the link, but it's available at: celsoazevedo.com
How are the results?
Crashes for me and the couple of pics I did take were not as good as the stock camera. The first pic is gcam no night mode, the second is stock camera no night mode, no flash. It was 9pm last night dark with no street lights
I'm seeing mixed performance as well. At first it seemed to be working okay, but it does crash occasionally for me.
Hopefully this gets the ball rolling in finding a good GCam app though. I'll scour for some more apks and will post if I find anything else to try.
finally someone asked the question !
i"ve been waiting patiently since the device came out and strange enough every one seemed happy 'bout the stock camera but we know xiaomi better than that it's a ****ty app
hope someone will get the gcam mod right
..stay strong..
Latest cstark27 gcam 7.2 seems to work rather well on Night Mode and even (forced) astrophotography, however the saturation is lower than normal (increasing to max value doesn't seem to have any effect).
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog856/
Thanks this one works on nigh mode but basic camera crash with no error or with resulution error if raw enabled,
anyone knows if any gcam works with the 108Mpx mode?

For the moment Nothing
Wait for S11
Wait for Galaxy S11, That phone is going to get a 108px sensor too .
And I think developers will then be more eager to develop for such high megapixel sensors such as the mi note 10..we just have to WAIT!
---------- Post added at 03:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:20 AM ----------
And also cuz S11's sensor might be the same sensor as in mi note 10 or a 2nd generation if the leaks are correct so I guess that the S11 port will 90% work on this phone and sensor
Would be nice to get an app that supports all of the cameras. I wonder what penta setup the S11 will have?

The fu24 build mentioned at the top is the only one so far that I found to output 27 MP photos from the main cam, as well as work with the ultrawide and 2x tele.
However, all gcam builds I tried so far have severe lack of saturation with the main cam. Even those that allow increasing the saturation.
Apk and source decompile stock cam
If anyone wants to try I can send you the apk and source code decompilled smali files of the Xiaomi Note 10 stock camera App, to look for the 108Mp codes to trigger the mode, since at camera api 2 the resolution is not there, PM since can't post links yet
I'm testing this gcam https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/GCam_7.2.010_Urnyx05-v1.4.apk
From the settings enabled the wide and tele cameras, then from the advanced settings go to library patchers and set the contrast to 2.0.
In my opinion they are good, later I attach a proofIf someone wants to test and maybe work on it, it would be a great start, among other things, it starts at 27 mp

Very interested on this... not yet received my MN10 anyway!!! How's your overall experience?
Nice.colours are better If i Take awb from pixel3
Yeah taking the AWB fixes Satzration. Only Tele causes Crashes for me
Fellows I'm waiting still for my mi note 10 to arrive. However I've heard that this version from Dise could potentially work.
DMGC_7.2.016_ver.3.4.apk, from celsoazevedo website... not allowed to post links yet
It's based on 7.2 and should also run on Android 9+. You might give it a try.

I've tried, crash after take a photo
That's bad looks like a developer needs to build something more customized for the mi note 10.

always On display

I have UK dual sim unlocked handset and have moved from my note 10 5g due to the zoom and better camera (or I hope)
I miss my always on display is there any such thing on the oppo 10 x I cant find it in the settings
Also is there any edge lighting system for notifications which I had on the note 10 plus
Thanks
Unfortunately, you must wait 'till next Android release (10), Which planned on december 20-26
Noticed oppo are not as quick as Samsung for updates I had November update on 4th November my 10 x zoom only has October update
Love camera though
Ive got feeling like oppo phones is like a third hand for the company. First hand is OnePlus - support is much better instead of oppo. For O+7 you can get CustomRoms etc bit for reno nothing...

The 10x zoom does have always on display.
If you go to settings - display & brightness - screen off clock and then turn this on. You can also set the hours it is actually on.
