c2api is not enabled on your phone.
This two magisk modules are only for MIUI.
If the modules don't work via Magisk maganer, try to flash them via TWRP.

Yes, it works, and the stock camera app as well. I use the latest weekly EU rom.

Now i've uninstalled the API2 module because the front camera was upside down.....
But i've installed the magisk API2 Module, reboot the phone, then downloaded some gcamera version from the thread posted before. One of those worked good, but don't expect miracle.

Thanks!
For anyone trying to download, here it is:
https://www.xda-developers.com/google-camera-hdr-ported/
And you MUST have Camera2 API enabled.. To do it:
Edit build.prop, create the string:
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
save and reboot.
If the string doesn't exist, add it.

Sadly Phone doesn't support for Camera2 API so it isn't possible to use gcam without root and tweaking system.
GCam
You can install GCam but not the latest version of the app... 2.3v was the one who works at my V9 without root. From v7 you have to root your phone and install some third parties then do some little tweaks for you to fully enjoy the latest version of the app but still there cons after you install the app.

Naah, works on 8.1. You'll have to install that Magisk Module.
I just tried it. Works flawless.
after doing this im having problem with stock camera app.
in portrait mode it just capture blank green pictures(miui stock camera)
normal shots are great in gcam but i think miui stock app takes better portrait pictures.
anybody knows why or a fix to this?
edit: so looks like video mode on stock app is also broken.
says can not connect to camera and force close itself.
by disabling module stock camera comes to life but no gcam
looks like you have tu constantly make the module on or off base on your need.

That might cause the problem. Stock version of gapps come with Google Camera which may interfere with your gcam apk. Try installing packages which don't include Google Camera, such as pico, nano, micro, mini or full.

Clean flash is always preferred, especially if it comes to rom/gapps things. Flashing it directly probably won't remove previous gapps package so yeah.

It's the one before all night shot got introduced (it's a Pixel 2 port) but all features work as intended (camera, video, slow-mo, portrait, front and back flash) all stable and nice picture quality.
You'll need to uninstall the GCam apk that's pre-installed in the device.
