Hello,
this thread is actually nothing special, I've just found some settings to get good results out of these Gcam apks and I'd like to share them here.
This is tested on the latest Stock Pie (10.0.2.0) and it works on my device.
So, first of all you have to enable Camera2API obviously (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/how-to/how-to-enabling-cam2-gcam-android-t3868766), but I think you're all familiar with that at this point.
Download one of these apks: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-bsg/
(I'm on the latest one) or if you prefer an Arnova version based on MGC by BSG (No PixelMod).
After that go into settings->BSG MOD settings.
Input Model: Set "Interface Style" to "Pixel II" (there are some focus issues with Pixel III), "Back Camera" to "Pixel 3 XL", "Front Camera" to "Nexus 6P" and "Config" to "Pixel2018 ZslR Hdr+"
FIX: Set "RAW Format" to "RAW10(default)" (this should already be set), "Image Format" to "YUV_420_888 (default)" and enable "Enable Motion" if you're into motion photos.
After that close the app, clear its cache and start it again.
If you experience some FC, try to clear again the cache and restart the app.
Now you should get a fairly stable Gcam with good performance, at least this is the best I've tried so far.
Portrait mode, HDR+, HDR enhanced and HDR OFF all work, burst photos work, Motion photos work, Night mode work, front camera works, panoramic works.
The only broken thing is Slow Motion.
The Camera will crash if you try to take a picture with Flash and HDR+ on OFF, but to me it's not a big deal since I never turn it off unless I want to take a burst. Anyway if you set "Pixel2018 Zsl Hdr+" in "Config" you should get this to work as well, but you'll lose Motion Photos. it's up to you here.
So that's it, if you find any better Setting, please share it
Sorry for maybe hijacking the post but i was using a gcam for nokia 7 plus which has the same 660 chip found here https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-backrider/ . I found it to be really stable too except 4k which doesnt work.

No hijack, don't worry!
I'm trying it and it works mostly fine, but it looks like it FC a bit more often than the BSG version (maybe it's just an impression of mine).
Anyway the main think I dislike about the non-BSG versions is that you can't select "Pixel II" as the interface and you lose tap to focus, which makes the app completely unusable to me.

HI,
i'm on the lastest Nitrogen Os rom. The rom is fantastic, despite the camera that act weird and it's too much instable (i have those problem on all Nougat Roms).
I found a Workaround to fix flash and camera derps (green\black photos).
Camera hal2 derps:
Derp1
Derp2
Roms with stablest camera i've tested: NitrogenOs, Dirty Unicors, Caf Aosp, CitrusCaf.
First, download (or buy) Snap Camera HDR Trial from playstore. Than go to:
-settings
-other
-scroll down to use camera2 API, tap and select force hal1 (if you can't, download a previous Snap Camera version, like 8.2.6)
-reboot
-done
UPDATE:
SNAPCAMERA HAL2 by @Shaky156 (Tested on Dirty Unicorns 7.1 by @poad42, if you try to other roms feel free to say if it works or not).
Use this camera if you want to avoid camera hal1. To avoid Camera switch crash, wait until focus finish. Expect more app crashes.

FOR VIDEOS:
-FOOTEJ CAMERA
FLASH FIX
FLASH FIX UPDATED
(tx to @hichaam, @Umang96)
This will fix camera in Nougat Roms?
-No\Yes. Only updated camera blobs can hard fix. But camera is STABLE now with hal1.
So why i should do that?
-If you make photos, this fix green screen and flash problems. But kills video in snap camera.
-For my phone, this is a STABLE way to make photos, as i like to shot pics with it.
Also expect some crash when opening to much camera apps. <--- fixed in last NitrogenOS
This is a workaround, we can't do nothing until xiaomi relases Android 7.0, or some other brand with sk5p3 camera sensor ( Ulefone Future, Samsung C series, Vernee Apollo Lite) do.
PS a copy of my post in other trhead:
CAMERA FLASH\RANDOM REBOOTS FIX:
-INSTALL NITROGEN OS (MAYBE WORK IN OTHER ROMS, BUT I VE TRIED IT ON NITROGEN, SO..)
-DOWNLOAD SNAP CAMERA HDR
-ENABLE IN SETTINGS FORCE HAL1
-REBOOT APP
-ENJOY YOUR FULLY FUNCTONIG CAMERA
FOR VIDEO:
-DOWNLOAD FOOTEJ CAMERA
-MAKE VIDEO
-- don't make videos with snapcamera because won't work.
Its important for you (until you answer to me: camera is working dude, even with api2.0 blablalba) that api2.0 are INSTABLE. They work for limited times, and 80% of times you get no flash, no manual ISO, reboots etc. Camera HAL1 will make our camera STABLE again, with flash synced in EVERY photos you makes. Only Videos won't work with HAL1 in Snap Camera HDR.
Also in snap camera you will find some interesting goodies for our crappy cameraphone. Its important that you will enable:
-ZERO STUTTER LAG (your device will capture the image at over9000 speedo)
-LENS SHADING (it gives better image quality in borders)
-MEMORY COLOR ENCHANE (better colors)
-DENOISE (remove the exagerate noise of our thin sensor)
-Sharpness -2 (remove the exagerate noise of our thin sensor)
So yes.. try it, for me its working for 2 weeks now.

Try to make multiple photos with flash. You will notice that camera can't sync it, or it will not start at all. Even with Footej camera i have Weird green screen, like many others.
I just tried in the dark room with flash on and auto focus on with footej and did about 20 shots, always worked...guess im lucky...but on all other ROMs it did not work or recording failed...

I'm also using Footej camera & NOS (01.23). I didn't edited anything. Video record is okay, and the flash also in photo mode.

Flash in N roms works 70% of times first time u open camera (even less sometimes). It's a common problem of all roms because camera sources. This is the method to assure 100% working flash\camera with all tryng. Its normal that if you take 2 photos here and there, you will notice nothing. I take 40-50 photos a week with this phone (even more), so i need stable camera. And i can assure you that this is the only method that works until now with nougat.

Hi guys,
So I have Google camera installed and works smooth while taking pictures compare to the stock camera.
But I have a question here in the comparison of both.
Attached is the comparison collage for same shot on stock camera and Google camera. In the Google camera, for the sky, it creates the color using dots which are clearly visible when I zoom in. And it is something which is bothering me.
Can anyone here tell me, if I am using some wrong settings or it is there in every setting?
I have the dots also, didn't find what's causing them, but version 5.0.009 gives me much less dots, so try to find that version and see if it helps.

same problem here, did you find a solution?
I have tried several different Gcam versions, types and configurations and all of them had this behavior with HDR engine activated. Gcam might need additional fix for our phone :-\
here is my comparison video

Nope, still the same problem. It's extremely easy to replicate, just take HDR photo of Kinder surprise yellow egg (or anything similar). It will show dotted pattern no matter what. The same pattern is visible on light uniform color (sky, wall,..).
_mysiak_: i try it now and i have same problem :/ ...but i must zoom in this photo, otherwise I can not see dots
Photo - yellow wall

I see it too. I switched back to MGC_5.1.018_7.0+c2API_Min_2a_AllInOne (December 12) and it does'nt appear to have this problem. I was on 3a and it had this problem. I'm using the Pixel setting (Marlin + Taimen) as device, with Pixel auto HDR+ and ZSL enabled.

Just tried it and even this version failed my yellow test, pattern still visible.
Edit: 5.1.018 versions crash on my phone here and there, so I'm back to "stable" MGC_5.1.014_7.0H_C2API_v.1.5g_AllinOne

Try these settings and app version from a photographer using our phone.
Just tried the photographer config and I can still see the dotted pattern.
My hope is that Xiaomi can upgrade the camera with android O update next week (and add image stabilization)

You are right, pattern is not visible, but also output of HDR+ isn't so good :\ I would even say that's it's pretty much on the same level as stock camera app.
I have tried almost all versions and settings combinations and it seems that we either have amazing HDR mode with strange pattern or HDR with low details and no mysterious pattern.
Try 3.5 BSG version. I've tried the AllinOne_Full_Manual 3.5 version and it doesn't appear to have the blocks. Using the same test subject, and I noticed that all versions from current all the way back to 1.2 have this flaw. I am working my way up on the versions, got to 3.7 and 4.0 but I can't get HDR to actually process.
This method works on Oxygen OS Oreo ( Stable 5 and beta 19/29 ) are confirmed to be working. This currently only works on rear camera and only if the subject is a human or a pet. Also HDR + works without any issues.
Steps -
1. Download this apk.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZwqW9cxta6mh56-QmcrnA06xPq1B0v-n/view
2. If you already have a conflicting app installed, first uunistall t then install this to be on the safe side.
3. Open the app, set the proper config and done.
( I'll later share the video showinf everything step by step and the best configuration too. )
Just a heads up that I can't upload a sample picture of portrait mode as I don't want to reveal my identity here but after trying it in a bunch of situations I found out that it works alomst as good as the original pixel 2 but only for human subjects, i.e you need to have human face in the viewfinder.
Configuration -
P.S - I'm not the developer of the app, in this thread I just intend to share the version that works best for me along with a configuration.

As suggested the @thes3usa
After testing with many subjects in bright lighting, portrait mode works only with Humans and sometimes pets as mentioned in OP. Does not work with objects.
Face Retouching works.
HDR+ works
60FPS recording works
Slow-mo still broken
AR stickers works.
Only work on rear cam

It's the same. But you have to read through the posts. Arnova is the dev of this mod. His work is based on BSG gcam Port. Last gcam version 1.4 has portrait mode. Just enable it in the advanced settings in the app. As I've mentioned... Read through the thread

Hey @Arnova8G2
I installed the pixel camera port ( GCam5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.4 ) on my oneplus 2, but it force closes. I also tried GCam5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.3, it opens but gets stuck with a camera icon in middle with black screen.

Which ROM you are using??
cuz in My ROM Application is closed forcefully.
Hi there!
I flashed the ResurrectionRemix rom, but the stock camera app that comes with it does not seem to allow changing the aspect ratio and resolution (we were several people to look into it and did not find the option).
Then, I installed CameraMX, but it bugs a lot with panorama, and cannot switch to front camera (when I click the button to switch, it says on the back camera).
Because, at least in my memories, the stock camera app of the OP5 was near perfect, I'd very much like to install it in place of these 2 bugged camera apps that I have now.
Is it possible to do this?
Thanks a lot!
