Under the great efforts of developers like B-S-G, Arnova8G2, cstark27, xtrme and so on, our device xiaomi mi8 is able to acquire excellent pictures as what pixel 3 & 3XL can do. Let me make some conclusions on this thread.
The most flawless versions are from B-S-G, which are named like "MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V2b.apk", many developers use B-S-G versions as a base and add more features or compabilities. B-S-G versions can accessed in a telegram channel.
GC(Mi8) by B-S-G
Here you can find port GCam specially for Xiaomi Mi 8.
https://t.me/gcammi8mi
Download telegram and join the channel above, you can find latest version and instructions.
The other versions are not intended to work on mi8, but you can also try it by yourself. In my experience, some of them DO NOT WORK on MIUI roms.
You can download them by the link: [url]https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/[/URL]
For the fresh users of google camera, here are some settings recommended by B-S-G. They are just an basic instructions, if you have higher demands it is better to change the settings by yourself.
OP6 don't use the same IMX363 Exmor RS lens. So tweaks are probably needed for sure.
Anyone developing this? Or has any developer got any hand on mi8 yet?

I'm sorry to tell you that recently I've been following developers' work in oneplus 6. Here's the link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/themes/oneplus-6-google-camera-port-t3797544/page39 . And I didn't receive any new about mi 8.
I got my Mi 8 Global version from Hong Kong and unlocking my bootloader. I have to wait 15 days to complete the bootloader unlock. I will try to install latest Arnova Gcam when it is ready.

As far as i know, xiaomi mi 8 has tha same hardware as xiaomi mix 2s.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-mi-mix-2s/themes/google-camera-mod-t3792143
But mix 2s users reported lots of bugs, they are using the mod modified for OnePlus6, which used sdm845 as CPU.
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
I tried many versions, the only one available is OP6v0.1_MGC_5.1.018_FINAL_3.4A.apk, but severe bug still occured.
The black level of hdr+ image look like purple, i can't change tint using Manual fixed black level offset.
Hoping developers can fix that for us, thanks a lot.

My Mi 8 is the Mainland China version, so I borrowed my friend's account to unlock the bootloader without waiting for 15 days. I can do that because his MIUI account has been used for one year longer, there is not such limit. Then I can edit my build.prop file to enable the camera2 API.

Ok, so I have wait 15 days after I can extract the ROM. I need to wait for permission to unlock bootloader.

Yeah, global isn't released.
So far I've tested with several versions built by Arnova6G2 in OP6 forum. Thought it were not meant to be running in Mi 8. I found it that the OP6 versions provided best compatibility.
OP6v0.7.1test_GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8
This version is the best choice for now.
Present bugs: washed out color, incorrect color in some light condition, view finder lags after stayed on view finder for a while, portrait not work.
Here's some photos captured by this version
GCam_5.3.015-Pixel3Mod-Arnova8G2-v4Beta2
This latest version crashes in Mi8.
It says: this camera device encountered a fatal error.

I discovered this today, but I'm not sure of its validity:
http://huawei-firmware.com/rom/huawei-honor-10/col-l29/27004
There were only 4 downloads. Can anyone confirm details?

9.0 0.46 is the latest beta for our model (COL-L29). But watch out, it is a pain to rollback to Oreo if you don't like it ..
BTW, don't be fooled by the installation process, we do not have sdcard slot... I personally tried through 3rd party website to update, but I rolled back few days after (lot of problem, like no compatible TWRP (no data decryption))

Indian Honor 10 have a custom Emui , you have to wait for some more time then the normal Emui users.
But good new is that Emui 9.0 is also launched for Indian Users too, you will get beta in some days . Might be between 20 to 31 Oct . For good news see this link.
https://www.xda-developers.com/emui-9-android-pie-made-for-india/
saw this. in FF... its for columbia and i am from India

Is this version legit? I'm on a brand new stock Honor 10 so I missed the Android Pie Beta.
Can I install it without any trouble using the dload method?
Are there huge bugs?
Is the battery life as good as it is in Android 8.1?
Hello! Tomorrow my Pocophone F1 should be here from the mail and I look forward to my upgrade from the Xiaomi Mi A1.
I have grown spoiled of my pure android experience however and know I'm going to be dying to get a similar stock experience on the Pocophone as well.
1. How do you unlock the bootloader without waiting the arbitrary "3 day" limit?
I know how to use the recommended method but multiple places have also made note of the Mi Flash Tool. One site specifically said that this tool can bypass this wait?
2. In what order do I install and make these modifications?
I assume it's Unlock bootloader, TWRP, Root, Lineage OS but am I wrong?
3. Is Lineage OS the best stock android option available right now? I really love how clean and basic my Mi A1 is I know it'll be a nightmare moving to the Miui.
4. The Netflix "HD" DRM issue is hardware based correct? Is there any workarounds?
I'll leave some specifics on the device I picked in case it's out of the ordinary.
Xiaomi Pocophone F1
128GB
Graphite Black
Global version

Oh this has a lot of helpful information thank you!
It appears as though the Mi Flashtool unlock they link as option 2, Is a much older version? I suppose it doesn't have a wait timer built into it perhaps?

Darn was really hoping to get that today.
Could you do me a favor and run Antutu benchmark?
I'm curious if there is a significant performance difference between stock MIUI, and Lineage OS.

My dear antutu score and performance have no direct correlation, so just enjoy the good thing without worrying about scores.
And if u want good antutu score look for showing off look for tips on how to.
As we all know stock camera is great working as is, but video was lacking stabilization especially for 4K 30fps! For a premium flagship device, Xiaomi did not even bother implementing this. But worry no more, after concurring with AEonAX and his extreme generosity, EIS is working now for 4K 30fps on stock MIUI 10 rom.
This was tested fully by me, using Xiaomi EU rom 9.1.24 on a Chinese Mix 3 device. It does requires root, so this may not work for Global Mix 3 shipped since there are no working root as current that does not break stock camera functionality.
https://github.com/XEonAX/ANXCamera...NXMiuiCameraMagisk_18.RobustDenseThrasher.zip
Instruction:
1. Make sure your device is rooted, and installed Magisk 17.3
2. Download module and activate using Magisk.
3. Reboot and clear data/cache, and allow permissions.
Use as you would normally, and 4K 30fps will now have EIS!
Thank you for the Post, Its great seeing my work here.

Try this one:

i get the "can't connect to camera" error as well on the Pixel Dust GSI
I also can't get it to run on Pixel Experience. The other version without stabilization does work.

Ensure that ROM identifies your device as perseus. P3R doesn't

What rom is best? Global? Eea? India? Ru?
I've heard before that EU roms have less bloatware, is the POCO X3 NFC EEA rom the EU rom in this case? (Sorry, not very knowledgeable on Miui as I usually boot custom roms on my older devices)

EEA got less ads / bloatware, but is updated late compared to Global, and since you can disable ads and debloat global, well, it seems more interesting.

I know lot of us have been waiting for official MiUi 12 release (no record of bugs so far, will update this thread if this will be the case)
.
HOW TO INSTALL STEPS :
.
1- Check if you are in MiUi version 11.0.9.0 in setting -> about phone.
1.1- Download the corresponding file (link is below)
2- If yes, head to settings -> about phone -> update system.
3- Click on MiUi logo many times in rapid pattern until you unlock additional features.
4- Click on the three dots in upper right corner then select "choose update package"
5- Make sure the battery still have sufficient power for the update process, also be sure that you'll have no use for the device for the next few minutes (update installation period)

You will know the global is stable if the eea had been released.
as long as the global has some bugs they will not release the eea.

In Android world, there is no ROM with zero bugs especially for MiUi, as for the global version it is specifically just varied in regional settings and built-in apps compared to EEA.

Just got my update to 12.0.1.0 (stabile) via the MIUI system updater. My previous version was 11.0.8.0.
finally got it, been waiting since July.
Finally, you download via OTA now.
