Questions regarding pixel experience - Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers

I flashed the last pixel experience today and im facing some issues and have some questions:
1) The rom doesnt have built-in compass or voice recorder?
2) My rear camera is "yellow" depending on where im focusing and the light conditions (its not a normal yellow)
3) Portrait mode isnt working on rear camera (it only takes 1 shot and its with bad quality and not portrait mode), the front works ok
4) Can i use an app like fingerprint gesture to lock the phone? (i tried but need to set fpgestures as administrator, and when try to unlock with fingerprint the phone asks the pattern because an administrator have locked the phone)
Thanks!

1. You can download some apps on Play Store for compass and sound recorder.
2. Maybe it has something to do with auto white balance. If them, try installing, GCam mod by BSG. Although you need to remove the stock cam first vua root before trying to install the GCam mod.
3. Portrait mode only works on humans.
4. No idea on this one.
Hope it helps.

Thanks! I rooted the phone and got rid of "4)" problem. How I can unninstall stock gcam and install another? I (the gcam post here in xda says you need to be on miui rom to use gcam port, it will work on pixel experience?

The pixel experience should have gcam as its default. Clear cache, clear data, reset to first install. See if that works. If not I don't see any reason why the gcam port won't work. I know people are using it on other ROMs like Havoc and Nitrogen. At least, I think I read that at some point.

Gcam MOD G7 working on V40 (not everything)

Hey guys, last update of GCam for G7thinq working on out device! (not everything is working obviously).
Working:
- main camera with HDR
- wide angle
- portrait
- video at 1080p
- H265 video recording
- night sight (but lags)
Edit: apk with working wide angle (thanks to @Whoareyou)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kQq...w?usp=drivesdk
Enable Add AUX
Now switching between front and back camera twice is your switch to wide angle and back!
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g7-thinq/themes/app-google-camera-gcam-lg-g7-thinq-t3855081
Cheers!
Here is an example of stock (top) vs Gcam (bottom). Gcam preserves more details (check bricks for example), and makes low light images a bit more clean overall.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/14j-1hnBAVNeIdqufDQP8F3UeH4swnZ7x/view?usp=sharing
The v40 has a very similar night mode, it just doesn't do much and conflicts with the flash. They seem to have tried but quit
I have an apk I found with working Wide angle but I am not sure which one it is (I've got a few in my downloads ?) I'll upload it here when I figure out which it is.
Edit: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kQqhAxvcDEQZN8MGu1Qg3WgtuiI7Cyex/view?usp=drivesdk
Enable Add AUX
Switch to wide angle:
Switch to ffc
Switch back to rear
It should now be using wide angle.
@Whoareyou great find man! Works well!
For unfamiliar folks, what makes Google Camera great is the software post processing, particularly Google's HDR, which I never turn off, and portrait - great results. Also somehow GCam manages to preserve more details compared to LG's camera. Now we have working wide angle, I can switch to GCam completely, at least for photos. Night sight working as well, we just have to deal with lag in viewfinder.

Thanks for the link, but am I missing something as far as fixing the extreme lag with the view finder and image capture? Between hitting the capture button and the actual image being taken is several seconds, and the viewfinder lag makes it very hard to use.
I have lag only in night sight mode.
Shutter button works only on second touch for me. And yes, GCam takes a moment to take a picture compared to stock camera, that's just how it works on on phone.

The viewfinder is laggy no matter what for me, and it takes much longer than a moment for the shutter button to register for me. Oh well, maybe I'll have better luck with some future modded APK. The camera that comes stock with the V40 is already pretty good, but having night sight and Google's HDR would be the cherry on top.

Sounds like you missing something in settings. Make sure buffer fix is on on settings - bsg - fixes

Focus problems on third party apps

Hi everybody,
I was looking to buy a gimbal for my phone, and to choose which one to buy I tested some camera apps that can be controlled by the gimbal (DJI and Zhiyun official apps, and Filmic).
I sadly noticed that although the LG Camera allows me to correctly focus from macro to infinite, on all these third party apps I can focus from macro to about a couple of meters far, not more.
Does anyone have the same bug? I'm running stock Oreo firmware with MK2000 kernel (necessary choiche, as Magisk breaks the flashlight when using the stock kernel).
I attach here my /system/vendor/etc/camera/camera_config.xml file, as it seems that playing with the TotalFocusDistance and MinFocusDistance values changes the behaviour of the manual focus wheel in the apps, but I still didn't find how to focus to the infinite.
Maybe I edited that file and I forgot about it?:silly:
EDIT: the problem only occours with manual focus. Autofocusing works great.

Best GCam 6.1 for LG v20 (Night Sight / HDR + Enhanced working well on all cameras)

Gcam_6.1.021_Advanced_V1.6-Fu24_5Lens-02b6.5.apk is by far the most stable version of GCam that I have used for my LG v20, and I've been following the various versions for a long time.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-6/themes/google-camera-mod-switchable-telephoto-t3859831
My Important Settings for the LG v20:
1. Hexagon DSP enabled (meaning, not disabled)
2. Allow Unknown Devices
3. Fix Green Tint
4. Sabre off for the main lens. Sabre auto (or off) for front lens. Sabre off for aux lens.
5. Viewfinder processing: Only turn on Auto-exposure (Motion breaks a couple of functions in various modes)
6. Config: Pixel 2018 ZslR Hdr+ or Pixel 2018 Zsl Hdr+
7. Model: Pixel 3 XL for both cameras
8. Use HDR+ Enhanced ONLY for ZsLR
9. ReINIT Camera Session turned off. Buffer Fix turned off. <-- Turning "on" Motion in Viewfinder Processing was what required me to initially turn these modes on since it created lag in the processing. Once I turned it off, I realized I didn't need the Buffer Fix anymore. This allows me to take photos a bit quicker now.
10. Default GCam CaptureSession: turned on for both
11. Resampling Method: Raisr
12. AWB Mod: Turned off (LG's processing is pretty good already)
13. Pixel 3 Color Transform: Turned off (LG's colors are already pretty good)
You can change any of the other settings based on your own preferences.
Tried on android 8.0, seems to work really well, thanks for the tip. I don't know anything about the settings so I copied you and I like the results. The app feels snappy and well made, also works with the wide camera without needing another separate app.
Thanks, I'm glad it worked out for you too!

Is this still the best camera on Oreo? I'm thinking of upgrading to oreo just for this camera and v4a.

From all the ones I've tried, this one is the most stable and feature-rich for the LG v20.

I'm happy enough on Nougat, it's super stable and I'm very happy with the battery life now I'm using Perfine 420mah batteries but I'd really like to be able to use the night sight - I'm concerned the battery life would take a hit.
I used to root all my phones and run custom rom's but now I'm using some App only banking companies, I don't want to risk them not working.

You need to enable HDR+ Control if you don't have the option selected already.

HDR+ control is enabled.
Do you mean to only use HDR+ enhanced when the config used is Pixel 2018 ZslR Hdr+
The way you worded your post made me think that:
8. Use HDR+ Enhanced ONLY for ZsLR
is also an option that I need to set, maybe put it in parentheses next to option 6 to be clearer
Everything work flawlessly Thank you

I installed that version of the camera and adjusted the configs all as you specified. My phone is lg g5, the camera works, and since the camera is almost the same as in the v20, I took your configs. Now I have some problems ..
1. I enabled on "fix green tint" and "Improve in low light (removing Pink/reddish...) and I still have red and green lines, when I shot in low light with and without night sitght..
2. Which number of frame to use on HDR+ parameters? I set it to 7..
3. As far as I understand I have the most problems with HDR+ settings. Do you have any ideas on how this could be corrected or improved?
Anyway thanks for help!
Thanks for this. I'm running Gcam_6.1.021_Advanced_V1.6-Fu24_5Lens-02b6.5-a10.apk on Android 10 with success.
I've exported the settings from the previous comments and attached the xml.
Enjoy.

Installation on los 17.1 movie recording has no sound.
I was just wondering if anyone knows of a modded gcam that has night sight w/ astrophotography that works (at least for pics) on Oreo 8.0?
Lastest I can be on is stock 8.0/no full root so can't do an different rom.
Has to be gcam 6.1 with night sight/astrophotography. If able to provide a download/link that would be awesome.
I believe anything after 6.1 won't work in Oreo.

Hey Mystic, your posts have been very helpful for me in the past. I'd love to help you out. Here is a picture with the stock LG camera app (auto) vs Gcam 6.1 referenced in this thread (night sight). I believe I have my settings very similar to what's listed in this thread.
The lens blur feature is also very nice. I had to set my lens blur in settings to 'auto' so it would not crash the camera app.
Edit: for astrophotography I have used the stock app on the manual settings. And it has worked very well. Just takes a little bit of fiddling with. Between shutter speed and ISO... I always use the Cheese Shutter so I don't have to shake it. You also have to prop up your phone or put it in some type of tripod or Mount so it is perfectly still. The last three pictures are with the stock app. I try keep the ISO between 50 and 100 and go for a longer exposureS, sometimes up to 30 seconds. The last picture is of the comment we had last year. Near the end of summer. @Mysticblaze347

Night sight is awesome, so is the lens blur, but I need one that is still 6.1 that has astrophotography built in for night sight so it can get better star sky shots (picks up more stars then regular night sight mode). I'm on the fu245lens 02c 6.1 atm. Its good, just no astrophotography feature for night sight mode. I wish we could use 6.2+ on oreo.
Edit: @kaluna00 I will try those settings, thanks for advice .
With the exception of a optical zoom, would you say that this GCam with these settings makes the camera on the V20 comparable to an inexpensive point and shoot camera for those of us who are not professionals?

I just ran into this as well. Night sight on the front facing cam also generates static like channel 3 on an old TV with nothing plugged into aux.
I took a short video from this mod, and it isn't crashed like stock camera so far. And when taking a photo using night sight, it crashed shortly when saving it.

GCam

Anybody found a good GCam and config file for this phone yet. I'm using GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v1.6 with the lg-g8sx-th config file and it's pretty decent but wondering if there's a better more compatible version.

I've been wondering how gcam works before pulling the trigger. Do you mind elaborating on "pretty decent"? What all works? I like the phone's camera, but I've seen instances in reviews where in auto mode it overexposes the highlights. I'd like a functioning gcam mod for when I don't want to go into manual mode

Sure, I'm by no mean a photo person and everybody have their preferences as far as photo goes but I found that with GCam the colors are more accurate and lighting and exposures looks better in most shots for me.
Downside with this particular version is that some features will crash the app still when you try to use it such as Nightsight and Portrait. It's a hit or miss and I find myself using the default camera app half the time, especially for video. The search continues.
I use a release by Pitbull that works fairly well. The bugs currently are no 4k or 60fps video recording, no video at all on wide lens (without clearing cache first), but no bugs I've found in selfies, portrait mode, or night sight mode. If you toggle the 4k button in the pulldown, the app will crash and no longer open causing you to clear data in storage and perform setup again, same with choosing Camera 3. Latest release does have support for configs though. In settings, sabre has to always be off. If it's on, all photos will crash. Also the option "disable openGL preview" needs to be toggled on to allow night sight to work properly under fixes.
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/MGC_7.4.104_V0a_Pit.v.1.6.apk
In the screenshots, I circled the important settings. The first one is in main settings screen, the second is under fix settings screen. With these settings, and not choosing 4k or camera 3, app works great, especially photos. If you like gcam for pictures, you will like this one.

Hi, thank you for your recommendation, I just got my new LG v60 and your apk and Screenshot helped me get it working well, I wonder if you have a new version or any new updates on this Gcam for Lg V60
Thanks again.
To the top - trying to see if anyone has had any luck finding something that works decent.
I have tried the 8.x versions from Wichaya, Urnyx, with and without the LG G8(x) configs, to no avail.
The issues range from images saved as a corrupt file, to random blotches of red appearing in the photos, viewfinder getting locked when in Night Sight, and 0.5x camera not being there altogether.
The same thing. A lot of Gcam mods are kind of working on V60 but weird colours here and there is the problem Can't find properly working Gcam mod too.
来自中国的玩家感谢你的分享
Is anyone using any working Gcams for the V60 with configs? I would mainly use it for the front camera.
TIA

Hi @nickadsy, this thread is being closed since a GCam thread already exists. Kindly continue the discussion in this thread. Having multiple threads for different versions of the same mod is not productive, and it's better to have one single thread where the discussion can take place.
Have a nice day!
