Xiaomi has updated camera of mi mix 2s with 720 and 1080 slow Mo with @240fps capturing. I know mix 2s has different camera sensor and better cpu and gpu. But camera sensor and cpu is also capable of MI6 and mix 2 to record [email protected] and [email protected] fps. Also Xiaomi introduced scene detection AI capabilities which is software based. Also image stabilization is better on mix 2s video recordings. So I request to port the mix 2s camera and other files required to do same on our mix 2 and MI6. A lot will be benefited . Actually it will make them a complete package as gcam has improved imaging and if all goes well we can see good video capturing also.
Regards
They can't even port first MIUI camera what goes for 2s camera..

This should change now. There are a lot of mix 2 and MI6 users who could not able to enjoy device full potential and restricted to very few things.
it would be link to lib and hardware stuff. I hope Dev can make it.
Both MI6 and mix 2 hardware capable of EIS + AI + 1080 @120fps [email protected] Libs and modified files are required

you can get libs from Moto Z2 Force. It has our sensor and cpu.
Yes I thought it about 6 months ago tried to talk to various developers but non success. Actually I am noob in coding and porting. My field is testing. I can do extensive testing only.
It's very good idea. But it's seems devloper have problem in coding or porting it. Maybe after some months they can make it works. We should wait for future.
Why is everybody hyped about EIS when we have OIS? Doesn't EIS crop image, Why do we need cropped images when OIS can bring great results by itself?
MIX 2S's camera ported to MIUI + AOSP roms (with most or all of it's features working) will be one hell of a great great project, and I will be supporting it indeed!
Glad to see someone cares about MIUI Camera at all.

Like I said EIS = crop. I don't think that't the best option anyway.
At least option to disable/enable EIS will be good.
I was able to run mix 2s camera app by using odex file of mix 2 along in its folder. There is a catch, it did not capture any picture and also no AI mode works. But video works. Any one with high knowledge please do make it port.

Optical only stabilisation on such a small scale as a phone's camera isn't enough to give silky smooth stability unfortunately.
I agree that it should be optional

I'm generally oposed to the idea, but on a phone it's almost a necessity, unless you have a gimble(in which case EIS wouldn't have much reason to do much of anything) or you want to stabilize in post.

Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the Moto X4 come out. A higher rating indicates that photos offer rich color (without over-saturating), sharp detail (with all subjects in-focus), and appropriate exposure (with even lighting).
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I have an S8 too and these cameras are right up there. Plus I love the extra effects like bokeh. The sensor looks cool too.
---------- Post added at 04:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:32 PM ----------
Could easily be a five star camera. It's definitely better than the G5 Plus and challenges my S8.
thanks for the review. I have a G5Plus, and am looking to change it up to the X4, solely based on the garbage camera in my g5Plus. Can you post some photos? preferably along side the G5Plus if you happen to have them

Same sensor, darker lens. The x4's camera is weaker than G5 plus's in paper. Fortunately X4 is compatible with Google HDR+. I took amazing photos with it.
Some examples. Taken with gcam HDR+

Hej there,
I recommended this phone to a friend after reading some reviews and they all mentioned how good the camera is.
But my friend is not very happy with the photos. The quality is great but any (even little) movement results in a blurry pictures, which is very annoying.
But see for yourself: https://photos.app.goo.gl/PJ4jJUZ1FBgaSV586
(Note: these pictures have been sent via Whatsapp to me)
No review mentioned that. Maybe its a layer 8 issue
Any ideas?
Thank you

Try with HDR off, if it isn't alreadym but Gcam will probably solve this. Much better night performance, faster shutter times etc. Also has proper video stabilization.
Since complaints about the camera are often posted on forums, here is my setup although it is not the best possible anymore, as I am using the same old/outdated Gcam version since several months. Once I get the Pie update I will test Gcam 6 with night mode. For now, I am using cstark27_Gcam_5.1.018_24_v3.8 ( https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_v3.8.apk ) . Image quality is good, although the pictures are sometimes a bit flat so I have to do some post-editing in Snapseed to increase contrast/saturation. Other/newer gcam versions have settings for saturation etc.
I have changed a some of settings, I think most important changes are:
In submenu Advanced:
> HDR+ control ON
> Model: Pixel 2 XL (Taimen)
> Exposure time: I often change it depending on the situation, if you want to avoid motion blur (like you have in your examples), put it on 'Fast' or 'Slow', I often put it on Very Slow because I am mostly taking stills
> Frame count: Default or Medium should be fine, although I set it to Super High if I want to take night shots
Then in your main camera interface (with the viewfinder) you have an HDR toggle on top, use HDR+ on in normal conditions or if the subject is moving fast, use HDR+ Enhanced in difficult conditions.
I never compared it to a high-end phone but I'm pretty statisfied with the camera. Really low light is tricky and OIS would have been great but for the price I bought it performs well (and the wide angle cam is a nice bonus too, although it lacks detail).
Can't wait to get Pie so I can experiment with newer Gcam versions.
I think we can all agree that stock camera app is scheisse, but the hardware is pretty competent, with a nice gcam port photos come out lookin great. I use 6.1.021v.0.1TlnNeun and it worked great since 8.1 (I'm now on Pie). I think it might be this but we can also try this one.
Cheers.
Best Google Cam port for my Moto X4
I have a Moto X4 Android One model XT1900-1 and have tried several .apk that would crash after taking a Night Sight photo, or if successful in taking a Night Sight photo would then crash when trying to close out of Night Sight mode and returning to the normal camera. The .apk I'm suggesting comes with it's own presets but I found that it produces too much noise in my medium/low light photos (with the normal cam, not night sight mode). Also, after changing the defaults it seems more responsive. While testing for yourself don't forget to clear the app's cache after crashes and if making changes to the camera types in the base settings you need to reboot. The most important thing is that this .apk is very stable on my particular phone. I don't know about all the other functions. All I care about is normal camera mode as well as night sight mode. Thank you to the developers!

Hi everyone! I'm new here.
I was interested in this phone (x722) because its crazy cheap for what it offers, but at the same time I am interested in a phone with a good video recording (with stabilization) so before buying I wanted to check.
I was wondering if anyone having the x722 and having installed a custom rom and the GCam port, could tell me how it stabilizes, in which settings (4k, 1080) and if its possible to record 1080/60fps videos aswell?
If some nice person around here would do some test and check if it stabilizes video well and can record 1080/60 it would be great.
Thanks a lot in advance! Hope to see some useful replies
I don't have proof, but people like the camera when they're using it with the modded Gcam. 60fps recording should work with modded Gcam, but it doesn't work normally, i.e. with the stock camera or OpenCamera, despite giving you the 60fps recording option. The IMX298 takes decent 60fps, nothing special. About on par with the iPhone 6. But I don't think you get video stabilization at all. You'll have to stabilize it yourself in Google photos or something.
Source: I owned a Zenfone 3, which has the same sensor.

The OP3T has pretty good electronic stabilization and uses the same IMX298 sensor aswell, so its definitely not a sensor problem in your Zenfone.
The LeEco pretty much has the same capabilities as the OP3/3T, it should be perfectly doable
I don't know, I guess the app would have to give you the option for stabilization. I just tested video recording on my phone and it doesn't have stabilization. I used Open Camera. I'm not rooted so I can't try the modded Gcam.

Yes, I was asking to people that had a custom Nougat ROM + Google Cam 5.0
Could someone in general post pictures and videos taken on the X722 with gcam? I am thinking of buying this Phone.
Is it possible to port redmi note 5 pro stock camera app for mi a1?
I mean I don't have that much knowledge.
Just wanted to know!
That has eis and portrait mode for selfies in it that's why.
Thank you!
We already have EIS and Frontal Portrait!!
The both features that you ask for is already available via Gcam, so why do you need porting note 5 stock camera

Yes Google Camera Have better potrait selfies than Redmi Note 5 Pro. Back camera also does great than Stock Mi Camera in low light.
There are too many versions of Google Camera; one performs better with back camera pictures, one has better videos with EIS, one has richer HDR, one is definitely good but only for selfies.
Is there an "ultimate version" that is capable for all?
hey, can any brilliant developer create a super stable video for gcam like on stock camera app? i really liked that but its not possible with a custom rom or maybe there is, so can anyone do it?

Go to the Google camera ports web page and try these 3:
Xcam 6.2 beta (which version depends on your Android version) - has all features basically
Urnyx 7.2 v1.4 - same as above however it is Google cam 7 (unfortunately cannot use xmls to configure settings)
Parrot 7 V12 - unlike the 2 above, does not allow for switching to ultrawide or telephoto, however is a great cam with xmls, lots of config options in settings and is also Google cam 7
the video is not at all stable compared to stock camera

What mod are you using? Gcam has lots of mods and tweaks, I'm using Gcam 7.2 by Parrot mod and don't face any issues.
Neither version of Gcam has video stabilization like stock cam...period!
I agree at some point but to compare stock Mi9t camera 1080p/30fps/h265 vs Gcam 7.2 1080p/30fps/h265 the quality is much better on Gcam when you're walking or hiking fast the video stabilization is not that much progressive or smoother on stock camera I'd say max 5% or 10% more accurate and it's hardly noticeable but the quality drops during the video I can clearly see the image distortion and noise.
In addition Gcam is much more configurable and better quality because it is being developed constantly and Xiaomi stock camera software is not something to judge or the company is aimed for but rather quality and production of smartphones and various equipment.
Just wondering if there is a version of gcam that can be installed? And where do you check for development and updates these days? Had a Pixel for so long I've no idea where to go!!
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
considering the fact that the 8 Pro is one of the two phones in the world that uses the IMX 689 sensor, it'll take some time for developers to make a proper port for this phone.
Any luck?

Yep, This version of GCAM cannot support the UltraWide and Tele cam yet.
says it need root access to work..
That means I have no luck using ultrawide and tele lens with GCAM apps...
Use stock apps instead
Indeeed
...
I really hope we will see a stable version of GCam working with all Oneplus 8 Pro cameras.
I personally think there is a lot of potential in that IMX 689 sensor.
I am still thinking there should be some real use of this strange photochrom camera as well.
And may be a nice manual PRO VIDEO mode as well :fingers-crossed:
Most probably I will get the Filmic Pro anyway soon.
I only just installed GCam yesterday after reading this thread .. lol.
So far played with the different modes (not lenses/cameras) but the night mode seems really good. The downside (if I can call it that), is that it appears that Gcams ability to take HDR photos vs stock app's ability, Gcam's takes much longer to process before storing? Like as you take the shot, there is noticeable processing time, vs. the stock app which seems to effectively point-shoot-store fairly quickly.

GCam has a different algorithm which processes many frames. In Pixel devices, there is a dedicated chip (pixel visual core) which performs the necessary computations. In other devices, it is the main processor that has to do all the job
I played around with the GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v1.8, which delivers nice results. but I noticed that the maximum resolution is 4000x3000. the stock camera goes up to 8000x6000. is there a way to activate the full resolution? in the settings it is already set to full resolution.
other than that, can anyone recommend any of the configs for this gcam? https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/configs-urnyx-02/
How does the night mode compare to the pixel 4? I imagine it would be better because of the larger sensor
