Crash at launch means it's not functioning at all?
Is there any other gcam which is working?(maybe mi8 or mi mix 2s camera port)
None of BSG, Arnova, cstark, arthur work.
We will wait for the s845 pixel 3 to come out then we will have a fully functional gcam
Did you guys try out the one given in this video description?

Camera samples from Arnovav7 beta test9 are aweful. Please look at samples from Poco F1 (V7 beta test9) vs Redmi Note 5 Pro (v8.1 beta3)
Redmi Note 5 Pro - 7.9MB
https://image.ibb.co/j2iG9e/Redmi_Note_5_pro.jpg
Poco F1 - 1.9MB (For some reason, it does not capture beyond 2-2.5mb) and hence loses details in images
https://image.ibb.co/gfctpe/Poco.jpg
Redmi Note 5 pro - Zoom (Look at the details on the pink basket, it is so clear. Look at the pink comb, and you can see the bristles clearly)
https://image.ibb.co/fbj1aK/RN5_PRO_zoom.png
Poco F1 - Zoom (Look at the washed away details on pink basket. The bristles are looking bad on pink comb)
https://image.ibb.co/bBi85K/Poco_zoom.png
Result - None of the GCAMs are currently producing good images. POCO F1

Sanjav, photos are again bad with 7.9.7 APK. I have a Redmi Note 5 pro, and Poco is not able to match the photo quality. As I said, we would require @Arnova8G2 to look into our phone. I am ready to donate $10 if he is willing to help us out. Other members could similarly contribute generously for his efforts.

Damn, I didn't look at the file sizes and thought MI improved the stock cam optimization a lot as it was capturing a lot better than Gcam. So it's definitely capable of massive improvement with Gcam. I hope it isn't hard for Arnova, Serjo & BSG to port stuff as the camera sensor is closer to Pixel 2 and other phones like MI 8 would also be benefited from this. We can tag Arnova & BSG after the sufficient logs are gathered.
You have to enable the camera 2 api firt then the gcam mod will work
I am using this currently
Potrait and HDR not working. But, HDR+ works great

It is enabled by default on Poco. You can run manual camera or such app to confirm

Yes, HDR+ works, and the photos come out great. Photos are nearly 10mb with highest setting. I just clicked 2 snaps, will post detailed review later today evening.
Portrait does not work.

I have this also installed . But in my case photos with the one I linked are better than this.
Also shutter lag in this is terrible.
Do u have any particular settings to make it better

So I've been using the Miui Camera app for a little while, just before I unlocked the phone and went to LOS16. On LOS16 I'm using the default camera app, but am missing a couple of things from the Miui Camera app. In particular the Fingerprint Shutter and the different modes (AI / portrait and such). Would it be possible to create a separate apk file of the original Poco Miui-camera, to run on Custom Roms?
Exactly my thought. This is the only thing i miss from MIUI rom! Hoping there's some way we can install the stock camera app on LOS
Its know fact that xiaomi and other brands original camera will not work on los 15, 16. Its because it uses code that is not opensource and is locked to miui system. Only alternative is google cam port, or using camera apps from google playstore like opencamera, footej camera and others.
Can you use the video stabilization in LOS 16?
Or the slow motion?
Slow motion is not working. Video Stabilization is on, at least, that is what it says. Seems to stabilize my movement.
Main reason I am on LOS 16 at the moment is Android Auto, which works there.

i think that's not true, I've seen whyred (redmi note 5 pro or ai global version) stock camera for custom rom on magisk module. Maybe it'll need more time for the development

Hello , is there a camera app that can use all the cameras,
I'm using pixel experience but the gcam im using only supports the main camera

I was able to use all the three cameras with gcam systemizing the Gcam App (I use the hypercam) and three buttons to change camera popped on the top right of the viewfinder. You can find the discussion I read here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=81292763&postcount=98

I really don't know how to help you, I just did those steps and it worked, btw I'm on the stock ROM with the camera2api enabled as stock.
I attached a pic on how it should look like.
i installed MGC_7.3.018_Parrot043-v1 as system app on miui and it crashed

Use ANXCamera version 164 and download the 48MP fix zip from ANXCamera website. BTW, there is no telephoto lens in Mi A3. Only wide-angle and standrd. The 2x zoom in the camera option is digital. It still uses the main lens. The third lens is a 2MP depth sensor. Portrait mode also works on ANX 164.
PS. I am on the lates Pixel Experience Plus Rom

Use the latest anx 175 and 48mp fix, why use an older version? Everything works perfectly
The manual mode on the camera does not work with the 64MP option. 1. Am I the only one who cares... 2. Do we know if this is something that can be fixed with an update. 3. Is there an app that can access the 64MP mode that DOES have manual settings?
hmmm I will try diff camera apps and see.
yeah tried 4 camera apps that have pro manual mode but no good for the v60. only 64mp photos on auto mode.
There is a modded Open Camera app but it didn't work for the v60, 64mp mode works with another phone though.
heres the link, maybe that person can mod for the v60.
Open Camera Mod - real 64MP for Redmi Note 8 Pro [no root]
Ive tested this on my Redmi Note 8 Pro on stock MIUI 12. For me it is working. It is a source code mod on the open source project Open Camera see https://opencamera.org.uk/ Why would you want this? Currently it doesnt offer much over the stock...
forum.xda-developers.com
The stock camera app of Nord 2 is ****. It over processes the images and the photos don't look like they are taken from a 50MP camera.
Any suggestions on what to do or some good GCam you can suggest?
Some examples? High mp sensors suffer in low light and have a more shallow depth of field especially up close to subjects. An accurate AF lock is important because of the narrow DOF; example, always try to get a AF lock on the subject's closest eye when shooting a face.
Adjust your shooting style according to the camera's strengths and weaknesses. See as the camera sees not as your eyes see. Human vision has exponentially more processing power and an incredible imaging system more so than any camera.
I want a proper gcam version if available or any better alternative that stock.
Always disable HDR option and pictures will look a lot better (sadly the app doesn't remember this setting so you have to turn it off each time) . The HDR process in the Nord 2 is absolutely awful .
Download the first file in this link. Photos taken with the primary camera will be much better, though I don't think Night Sight works. https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-wichaya/f/dl5/
DISABLE HDR. It's a known issue.
But you can't disable HDR when taking photos directly in other apps (whatsapp, telegram, etc)? I had OP8T and it had same issue and I had returned it...
GCam won't give you 50MP. AFAIK the only way to get 50MP on stock Nord 2 is by using the Extra HD feature in the stock camera app.
I'm curious to know if people with rooted devices have this capability enabled in the API. Let us know please

I don't think HDR and other processing options are enabled for 3rd party apps (same goes for the ultrawide lens, you can't use it in other apps) for me whatsapp and telegram pictures look good (but they are heavily compressed)

50Mpx is available in some GCAm versions (Wichaya and Nikita if I remember correctly, BSG and Greatness don't have the full resolution option) , but the 50mpx full resolution of the sensor is totally useless (not only with the nord 2 , but generaly with all other phones) , 12mpx pixel bining gives you better image processing, less noise , etc... a quick look at the reviews explain very clearly why is not a good idea to use the full resolution (50, 108mpx etc...) of a phone sensor.
Personally I use the BSG 8.4 v10 version and pictures are great, Google HDR+ implementation give a lot better results than stock app

Was this on stock or rooted? Btw for me the 4:1 binning is not something desirable since I stack very low light photos, run my own denoising and various other process. Hence why I need the full sensor data made available to apps like OpenCamera

Yes, IM apps do compress photos but that's different story than colour fidelity. In my time with 8T the colours in photo app and telegram/whatsapp were simply blown out of proportion: something normal-red in real life was glowing like burning Mars in 8T photos. After disabling HDR in camera app the photos looked ok (though still overprocessed hence IMHO OP3 photos looked better!) but in whatsapp/telegram I still had same issue with stupid extreme colours...
