Has anyone gotten the new Google Camera with HDR+ to work on this phone? - Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime Questions & Answers

Tried installing this one.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/themes/google-camera-hdr-t3656174
I'm on Razziel's Nougat RR. The app FC's immediately. Doesn't run for me.

I think HDR+ it's working only on newest Snapdragon SoCs like 820, 821 etc...

Take a look at the link in my post above. They claim it works for "almost all Nougat devices".
I got it working on kenzo, which has Snapdragon 650.

The problem is RR doesn't have the camera api2, I asked in another thread if anyone knew of a rom that had it but so far no reply

There aren't ROMs based on Nougat with API2 support, if you use API2 for camera video recording can't work anymore.

thanks N1ck474, then no HDR+ camera for use then

Try Footej Camera pro. You can search the apk

Ah, yes. I forgot about the api2 issue. This can certainly be fixed in a future rom update, though, can't it?

For now, custom ROMs development are suspended....Razziell say it, he was the best developer for 4 Prime, nobody know when we can see a new version of RR/crDroid/LineageOS.

Edit we use only hal3 so hdr+ won't be working untill we find a way to fix camera2api

Its work for me, if you use magisk, there is module for camera2api.

I got it to work, just download the Google camera (Snapdragon 600+) apk from this link and install it.
Then, edit or add this to the build prop ( I used ES file explorer) - persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
Photos are really good. I leave it on auto HDR+

Experienced the instant FC and editing build.prop fixed that issue. Next issue is recording with back camera makes the app FC. Front facing camera works fine for recording though. When using any other camera app the reverse is true, front camera FC's and back camera works.
I'm on LOS 28/8. Stock camera is bugged so I will continue to use Bacon Camera until a fix comes around.

Thanks for letting me know about the recording issue, I don't really record videos so I didn't realise about the bug.

Do you think this works on Miui 8? Thanks

Nope, it needs Android N.

I got it working on karevns LineageOS 14.1 ROM. But had to edit build.prop to enable HAL3, just a quick fix, but requires root (use MagiskSU for this)

I've installed the camera port as well, the recent one with raw support. But I cannot find raw captured image(setting enabled under experimental option). The hdr+ also seems to have no effect on image quality. I've enabled HAL3.
Rom: RR 5.8.5 by hrafninn, with default kernel.
Edit: I've downloaded another version (GCamera Pro 3.3b) from main thread link, and it works as expected, auto hdr+ and raw support, with hal3 enabled. Some prescribed modifications had to be done on settings.
Settings to modify:
Max Settings:
Buffers size: 28
Total imagereader image count: 52
hdr+ burst frame count: 60
Calculation imagereader image count: PixelXL
hrd+ imagereader image count: 10

For me the Slow Motion Tab causes the camera to crash, I think due to hardware limitations, this happens in any port of the camera app. Also in the port mentioned in the beginning of this thread video recording in normal mode causes a crash.

I just realized that all Google Camera App ports are crashing if trying to record video for me. Seems like a bug special to my ROM (karevns LOS 14.1)

Camera crashes for video recording on mine too. Additionally, I can't capture panorama or 360 photos with hal3 enabled. Disabling it allows me to capture 360 photo with street view, but gcam crashes.

initial report:
slow motion
at 60fps - i didnt found any changes
at 90fps - when indoors recording, it didnt find any changes but when I stepped outdoors, everything when slow-mo. Pretty odd (??)
at 120fps (SD 480p) - works flawlessly
all stated above was recorded above 40 seconds without crashing or camera hangs. The same with normal video recording too . Great work guys

Best alternative Camera App

I just got my new Mi A1 and i found that the stock camera app is very good in good light conditions, although in poor light i got only blurred photos.. I tried to install the google camera (stock apk and also the hdr+ mod) but it always freeze and stop when i launch it.. I don't have root, so camera2 api aren't activated (and the hdr+ don't work without that), but i thought i could have used the google camera as a normal camera app just to try it.. are there any good camera alternatives that i can try or should i root to improve photo quality in low light?
Without rooting i don't think you can improve camera quality much
Maybe you can try open camera and see if it helps much.
I tried most camera apps out there and the best option is root, enable EIS/Camera2 in the build prop and ported Google cam with HDR+.
Rooting is easy enough on the A1, but if you don't want to do that try the latest HTC camera on apkmirror. Only thing not working on that camera is the HDR mode; it crashes if you turn it on. It will give you better photos indoors with normal lighting conditions. Low light/night will still be quite blurry.
Thanks a lot, i'll try the opencamera and the htc one, cause i decided to wait until andorid oreo for root.. ? anyway, any idea why the google camera apk (from apkmirror) doesn't work?

Because you need to enable Camera2 API in the build.prop. Otherwise it won't work.
You can install an old version of the Google cam like v2.7 but then you don't have HDR+. Other than that it works fine, though.
Try AZ camera
Well this is just my view but after trying open camera,
Snapdragon camera, the default camera hht mode, and bacon camera. I got the best results for night shots using the bacon camera manual mode and selecting the Sutter speed set to the lowest of 1/8 but keep in mind you need to keep your hands very steady. I used my selfie stick as a stand it helped me keep steady.

And one month later you'll ask why OTA update fails to apply.. Just wondering, why do you prefer direct modification of system files instead of systemless Magisk? It really puzzles me why some people do and suggest this without mentioning the drawbacks.

Front camera doesn't work, neither does access to photo galley. Also photo taken was quite small file size, open camera seems better. This was with Jan 18 updated one plus camera app
Try Bacon Camera (CameraApi2 Free)
Check out the bacon camera from play store, you don't require root and it is specifically made for non supported CameraApi2 Phones,
It has a ton of manual settings.
Hope it helps
i use this port:
"scrubber_GCam_5.1.018_25 (scrubber, 2018-01-09, no config needed, changelog)"
i am new user, so i can't post links. Just google it and search for celsoazevedo.com.

Best settings for Google Camera ported (by Arnova8G2)

Hi guys,
first, I'd like to thank to @Arnova8G2 for his development and porting of Google camera. Due to his effort, many of our phones take much better photos than with stock camera. If you don't know what the app is, please visit this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/themes/app-collection-camera-modded-t3591177
His app has many different settings and I wonder what are the best setting available. If we can find the best settings, we all can take better photos!
I made a small form which I please you to fill (takes aprox. one minute): https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1...ntry.560585008=95%+(default)&entry.1874216323
Thank you everyone!
So please fill:
Device you own (I know this is Mi5 section, but still, GCam is used by many others)
Which ROM you run and version of it (Lineage 15.1, 14.1 etc.)
Settings you use
Sample photos (at day, at night, portrait mode, video ...)
Results
Or just share it down here.

Hey ! Nice initiative.
I'm running on Mi5 with Google PixelMod mod by Arnova8G2 5.1.018-v1 . Settings :
-Model : Nexus 6P
-Config : Nexus 6P
-Option HDR+ On
-HDR+ Parameters : super high
-ZSL On
This is a great idea, let's set up a spreadsheet where people can input their settings, so we can easily get an overview of what's in use?
Which fields to you think are most important? (don't want to over complicate things)

For sample photos we should only take on comparison photos (same user, motif, different settings) if possible. Would be easier to spot the differences. On the spreadsheet, we should also classify the most used settings as separate, named groups, to minimize clutter and find the best setup.

Go and edit this file: /system/etc/camera/msm8996_camera.xml
You can use ES_File Explorer built in Note editor.
Look for:

and change the "360" for "270". There's 2 times on this file.
It will be:
<Position>FRONT</Position>

Yep thats it. the file's already modified in new version (360->270), but the problem persist.
Maybe we just have sit for a while until the next version released. Perhaps
stable rom its working properly
Was attempting to match some of the results in this thread, but by changing GCam versions I've lost my front camera HDR in LOS 14.1
Any recommendations for me? Configured for Nexus 6 Auto/Nexus 6P/High/95% JPEG. Tried the following:
Arnova's 5.1.018_v1.5 - Previously functional, but now no front camera HDR+ and front cam portrait is upside down.
Arnova's 5.1.018_v1.6 - Same as 1.5
Arnova's 5.1.018_v1.7 - Not a fan of manual focus, same issue
Am I missing something? Always clearing data for version install, and stopping/starting app for each setting change.
Solved: GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V6 on LOS 14.1 has all my HDR+, all portrait, and no more upside-down photos. Other than the directories created for each photo; I can't figure out how to disable that.

Lenovo P2 kuntao main camera fix in HAL3 mode (Gcam HDR+ fix)

So, its known Lenovo P2 (kuntao) has camera bug when using HAL3 mode with RAW capture, it look like pink lines instead of preview and captured pictures. I fixed this ****, now all HAL3 apps working fine. Google camera mods working including HDR+ mode.
changelog:
v1
*Initial release - fixed raw photo
v2
* Fixed issue with video recording in Lineage Snap camera, less changed bytes
* Please test and write review if this version all fine to you, if its fine, will be included in next Lineage releases.
v3
* Only 2 bytes changed compared to stock lib, so have to be least negative impact on previous working apps as possible. Please report if it breaks something.
choose one of the attachments depending on what rom you using. If you have treble enabled rom please use kuntao_fix_main_cam_v2_8.1treble.zip (149.0 KB) and if you using 7.1.2 based or 8.1 with no treble use kuntao_fix_main_cam_v2_7.1.zip (149.2 KB)
Install it using recovery and test camera apps. I have tested Google camera mod MGC_5.1.018.177624777-41364271.apk (BSG, 2018-07-12) from https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/ . It has working HDR+ mode when choosing Nexus 6P model.
If it fixed camera for you, I will appreciate small donation https://www.paypal.me/VitaliyTomin
And second small fix is for those who want to use front cam in Gcam. Set black level 16 for front camera, or you will get green/yellow tint.
What about the dark video in both front and back from default camera
Sure i will donate 100rs
Don't you have paytm?
It works! I am on Arnova 7.9 official, the one with a red link on celsoazevedo link.
Anybody upload some sample photos and specify the (config) details if applicable.
Can I just flash this as a new user ? Do I have to flash anything else
@highwaystar_ru add portrait fix in topic too
Amazing job!
With official LineageOs 15.1 the pictures are a little pink-ish to me.
Damn it worked.
using latest beta version GCam_5.3.015-Pixel3Mod-Arnova8G2-v4Beta4.apk by Arnova8G2 and portrait mode is damn fine.
Everything is working except slow motion video.
Thanks @highwaystar_ru and @celoxocis
I was hoping that mike would do it didn't expected from you guys and after reading @celoxocis comment few days ago about some imx258 blob problem i thought this day will never come.
Official lineage oreo and now gcam. You guys rocks.

@highwaystar_ru did all the hard work!
i was simply supporting him in trying to find possible proper alternative blobs and checking their content using hex values. while he spend days with IDA to make the original blobs work!
ne never gave up! the results speak for themselves!
Good work @highwaystar_ru , did you take library of p2 and you fixed it or did you ported from another device?
Photo quality is astounding ! Using latest camera mod from the provided link.
Many thanks !
When using treble and LOS 15.1 - will the mod survive system updates, being in the Vendor partition ?
on the latest beta. I noticed when it is to dark and you switch to front camera. it crashes the app. anyone know a possible fix for that? I remember reading something on a OnePlus subforum. but can't remember where.

on the latest beta. I noticed when it is to dark and you switch to front camera. it crashes the app. anyone know a possible fix for that? I remember reading something on a OnePlus subforum. but can't remember where.

I have tried front camera on almost all lighting conditions just to tried what's working and not. I haven't encounter any crash on low lighting (i have tried even in complete dark too) but i have face 1 crash using front camera in outdoor lighting. It just freeze for 1 second and then crash. I have changed some setting in the app.
Look at the hdr+ photo it's just not look like it's from our camera

I went back to MGC_5.1.018.177624777-41364271.apk which is rock stable. in the beta the front camera (selfie camera) was crashing too much in my tests. especially when switching cameras. it's probably an issue with the beta.
now if we had a fix for video camera support for 30fps and 60fps. that would be great. all recordings now are in 24fps. which are smooth and without micro stuttering. even on Open Camera. but Snap Camera (default LineageOS Camera) refuses to take a video recording without 30fps at least.

Is it possible for our cam to capture at 60fps?

well in theory. yes. it should be able thanks to @highwaystar_ru
he added the profiles [email protected] 24 fps and [email protected] fps to the video profile to the back camera.
but the rom media profiles xml needs to be adjusted i think. for it to work with snap. for now snap and OpenCamera will record in [email protected] fps.
i haven't tested 4k yet.

32bit Gcam Mod

For those on stock ROM, there is a modded Gcam that works on 32bit. This Gcam does not have all features, only HDR+ on rear Camera, front HDR is borked so needs disabling in the settings if front camera is used. You also need camera2 api support by adding this to your build.prop, "persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1".
The camera was made for Nougat but works on stock Oreo also.

Screen attached of the settings to disable front HDR.
Excellent. Thanks for sharing.
portrait mode works?

No, as I said in OP, only HDR+ on main camera. Most features definitely need 64bit rom.
I have been informed that by changing the default black level for front camera to 16, HDR+ works. I can confirm this is true. Thanks to XDA user capedukewuhaha for pointing that out.
Also I can confirm that this 32bit mod actually works better than all the 64bit GCams I have tried on custom ROMs. I am on linage now and this camera works best.
for me, this port doesn't work... i am on moto z2 play stock oreo 8.0 October update
edit: oh, now i see... must be rooted, nah...
i am willing to root because of this moded app... would like to know if there are any improvements in pic quality, some examples? thanks in advance

There is hdr+ and less image processing. Stock camera is better for video, I use both cameras when on stock. If the extra hdr is not important I'd stick with stock since you can use Snapseed to get a similar hdr+ effect on photos. I have something else in testing that reduces the over image processing of stock camera which I will post if it works on Z2P(originally it is for Moto G5 plus, both same hardware almost).

You need root. Add the camera2 api line to your build.prop.
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1

Settings GCam HDR+ 3.2.045.
Model and both cameras - choose Nexus6P.
HDR+ parameters - Super High.
What the front-facing camera would work in HDR+ - Black Level Value(Front) to choose - 17 (but will work both with 16 and with 15 if it is necessary).
What the back camera would record of video - in Resolution & quality - Enable video stabilization(switch off).
With these settings works all but slow motion.

It was only available on the linked site, I don't use this camera so don't have it. I use Resurrection Remix which uses 64bit camera.

MGC_3.2.045_FINAL_3.1.apk
Anyway, this app is very buggy, if u want to take good shots with it set model to Nexus 6p and auto exposure correction to *2 or Min.ISO.
Remember API2 must be enabled (on stock rom).
But, you won't get amazing pictures with this apk (our sensor, Sony IMX362, is capable of a lot more in terms of quality), HDR+ Algorithm is not very good.
I fixed focus of a bunch of gcams for our device, will post here later maybe (this subforum is dead). You will need 64 bit OS.
