Extract camera app from Xiaomi.eu ROM as an independent, standalone camera app? - Xiaomi Mi 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods

Hi, is it possible to extract the camera app that comes with the Xiaomi.eu ROM to install and run as an independent, standalone app without having to unlock the boot loader, root, magisk, etc.?!?
The xiaomi.eu ROM camera app comes with a lot of better features and in my opinion it produces better pictures than the camera app that comes with the official Xiaomi MIUI 10.2.26.0 PFAEUXM ROM.
Thanks!
Best regards,
Lars

Have you tried using anx camera (google it and download. It is flashed by magisk and replaces the system camera, unless you disable or uninstall the module, at which case you revert back to the ststme camera. Better backup in twrp before just in case something goes wrong. I tried it in eu miui and it worked OK)

I'm just curious what features you like better
I prefer the stock camera app to that on the eu rom(though I'm running the dev build)

I like the additional HDR modes (live and pro) as well as the dynamic pictures (aka live photos, I missed them since I had to forsake my Windows Mobile Lumia 950XL). Also, when comparing (pixel peeping) photos I prefer the ones coming out of the xiaomi.eu ROM's camera app. I think they just may have adjusted the JPG compression rate, but IMHO the xiaomi.eu ROM's camera produces pictures with more details, I've also compared them with pictures shot on a Mi 9 running the latest official global stable.

+1 :good:

I would love to get a non magisk camera for custom ROMs that can use all the lenses.
As far as I've seen, nothing on the play store can do it. There doesn't seem to be a standard even though practically all phones are adding multiple lenses.

[APP] [PORT] MIUI Camera for Mi5 [REQUEST] [POLL]

I have used many ROMs based on Lineage OS here.
Testing camera performance especially front camera for selfie.
MIUI camera delivers exceptionally amazing selfies.​
I have tested Open Camera on MIUI and the selfie quality went bad, selfies became dull as same as they are in Lineage cameras.​
This means the App is the key to better selfies.
If its possible to Port that app, Many users on internet willing to donate for the same.
Also this will improve overall device feel and experience on LineageOS.​
If this thread becomes capable to attract at least one developer who shows interest in this we will be lucky.
Participate with your ideas and try to attract Developers here.​If you are willing to Donate for this project kindly do mention.​
I've seen this happen on every Xiaomi phone I've owned. On all of them there's​ a thread of people really wanting a port of the MIUI camera, but on none of them is it possible. The MIUI camera is part of the MIUI framework and won't work without it. So unless someone makes a Magisk module of the MIUI framework that plays nicely with AOSP and ports the camera it won't be possible
Guys please participate in this thread.
Participation is only key to get Dev attention. ​

I just found this MIUI5 port that works on Marshmallow (I don't know if works in Nougat): (Sharing)(APP) MIUICamera App
Maybe this could help to find a way to port the newer versions.

Not useful, people who used it are saying it's working as a normal camera app only.
And I tried, not working in my phone.

I think that is just the app, it doesn't include the low level firmware optimisations. It doesn't work on the MI5,and it's based on MIUI5 which is 4years old. The fact that we haven't made progress post that is testiment to how difficult it is to port the camera firmware. Atm the only solution is dual bootiing, and using a MIUI based ROM if you go out to take pictures (like on a holiday). It's ****ty, but it's what we're stuck with. Google Camera works OK on Lineage for quick snaps anyway.
Wait for next update of the snap camera. I am sure it will rock
I have realized that MIUI has really developed its camera app over the time, even if some other camera app are launched. They will not catchup with this app. Hence if we have a scope to use this existing piece of work we must port it rather than focusing on other means.
I just hope some developer has seen this thread and considering to take on this project.
will a camera port be ever available?
I really like the MIUI camera because the focus peaking option, who else ?
guys I have talked to developers, they are saying that it's not possible to port this camera.
And if it was possible, someone in XDA community would have already ported it like these is Google camera.
So if you want great photos, be on MIUI.
Guys, Sad news is Developers have denied to make any such port.
They say MIUI camera has something to do with Miui framework also this camera is Closed Source.
Sadly in summary If you want to use your phone for camera stay on MIUI only.
Use raw shooting for max quality for both AOSP and MIUI. As it pulls raw data without any touch you can get superrior quality compared to MIUI camera app.

Le Pro 3 Camera Quality on Lineage OS 14.1

How is the quality of pictures on Lineage OS 14.1?
Do you have samles? Original files for me?
Thank you.
In my opinion, it's worse than the stock one.
I am not so sure but i think that every nougat has more or less the same quality in photos which i find it to be little worse than stock but not that noticable.
I also use open camera.
i thought nougat will bring better camera performance? Why is it a step back?

because leeco used propietary camera app, nougat is stock camera app, there are a few threads showing results with different camera apps , but they are with sotck based roms.
But camera can be improved with next updates in lineage OS?
Isn't there an HTC camera port that contains HTC libraries so it can render pretty good pictures?
Dont know??
I have a question. I am using OniRom and as I see I cannot use HDR in any app. It either doesn't show that option at all or even if it shows it (only in omnirom default camera) photos are definitively not in HDR. Does anyone know reason or solution for this?
Its horrible.
Doesn't the Pro 3 use a Sony IMX298 sensor, same as the OnePlus 3? Not a flagship camera but it shouldn't be too bad, no?

Camera: OOS vs Paranoid vs sultan vs GCam port

Hi,
I'm opening this thread to discuss the several camera options there are available, so that all are informed by the options available.
There is OOS camera with HD and HDR.
There Paranoid camera which claims to be even better than stock OOS
Sultan camera, which sultanxda put a lot of effort improving the camera
GCam port that has HDR+
Share your experience with each, saying which camera you like best. If possible, detail the best camera that:
- provides the most accurate color
- provides the best motion/action picture
- provides the best low light condition
Share your photos indicating the camera app was used.
I personally use gcam to do most of my shooting. It provides the best dynamic range and image "crispness". I also enjoy how quick it shoots too.
The only time I'll switch from it is to shoot raw and manual on the Stock OOS camera.
When I'm shooting video (1080p 60fps) I usually use the OOS camera just because 60fps in gcam stutters for me on occasion.

I have used paranoid android 7.3 and I have realised that OOS camera is the best in low lighting as PA camera also does well in good lighting condition.
Paranoid camera app is very good. 60 fps on 1080p works very good. It is snappy too. OOS camera on latest beta not that snappy.

What do you think about low light photos in PA? And motion pictures? Can you share some pics?
I have used the OOS camers on OB17 / OB16 / OB15
I have also used the Google camera app.
In my opinion the OOS camera app is better at low-light shooting plus regular shooting is pretty good. I have not tried the latest ported version of the OP5 OOS camera app but I am curious, so will probably try at some point.
I have not used PA. The Sultanxda camera app has a boatload of options which in my opinion is overkill for a regular user like me.

I hasn't used paranoid ever, can't help in this regard, i myself curious about paranoid
Thats my usage:
Low light: Google cam with HDR+
Daylight in raw: OOS
Daylight jpg: Google cam with HDR+
Video: OOS
Personally I'm using Google Camera for quick shots at college, but at parties or something, I'm shooting RAWs with Snap Camera HDR - because it limits max ISO to 799, where OOS can go up to 3200 (and leave you with very much noise).
For videos I'm using OOS camera - recording 1080p60.
Daytime: Stock OOS Cam
Nighttime: Google Cam HDR+ :good:
Is there a version of the updated PA camera from 7.3.1? for me PA Cam so far gave the best results regarding image detail, since it doesnt use noise reduction, or it can at least be setup so.

Even compared with OOS?
Some photos I took solely to note the differences in low light for noise and color reproduction:
17-06-22 - OnePlus 3T - ROM & Camera Image Processing Comparison - Paranoid, Sultan, Oxygen
https://goo.gl/photos/BUFDMEc4uThYXuoW6
I currently use the Google Camera port with HDR, though for long exposures I use the OxygenOS camera, and also like that one for full resolution bursts.

Just compare the file sizes of those two camera apps, the details in OOS cam get a disgusting watercolor effect.
the ones from PA cam look nice and are like 10mb bigger than OOS camera ones.

The new PA update should improve the camera app. It is possible to compare with that version? Specially in low light and motion/action shots? I like OOS camera, but in low light and motion/action shots... Could be better. I'm curious about PA in these scenarios

No, as this was all done months ago and I wouldn't be able to set up the exact same scene, and don't wish to re-flash all of the various roms, rename files, etc.
...Though I'd certainly pay for a good photographer to do this with the various ROMs in different conditions.

Oneplus Camera (from OP6T) [v3.0.16]

Oneplus Camera App from Oneplus 6T.
Disclaimer - I'm just merely sharing. APKs I post mostly I extract from OOS roms of Oneplus Devices. I have nothing to do with the updates and development of the apks.
Latest (v3.016) - Check Post #3 for links.
**Please do read Post #3 fully before asking any questions**
Anyone knows how to enable promode? there's promode on the oneplus 5
Oneplus Camera (3.0.16) -
Camera [from OP6T OB4] - https://goo.gl/JK4Rg1 (3.0.16)
Noted Changes - APKs from latest Beta of OP6T.
Regarding HDR :-
Guys, I tested almost all the old apks to find ones that have hdr working and post'em here. But it seems like this isn't an apk issue. Because all the old apks I tried had the same hdr always off issue. I think this has to do with our Roms. (I use AEX5.5 and have been on AEX from nougat days.)
I even tried editing the camera apk to find if it calls any specific package for hdr function that i can import from OOS dumps. Doesn't seems so.
If anyone using last builds of nougat roms or very early builds of Oreo, please try the latest apks and let us know if hdr works.
Common Note :-
I don't develop this app, just sharing with you guys. So I can help you with only basic solutions and cannot do app level corrections.
Since this camera app is developed with only the oneplus devices in mind, many features might not work on other devices. Some of these features that work on 5T don't even work on 3T. No one can help it. All we can do is wish for an update to solve the issues. I too am wondering why the HDR mode suddenly vanished in the latest versions but maybe updates will solve it.
There will be limitations in Pro mode like shutter speed not changing beyond a point and all. This is due to the fact that our device has no Level_3 hardware support of Camera2Api. And also there are physical limitations due to our Camera sensor being a less capable one than oneplus 3/3t 5/5t cameras. So don't expect a solution to such limitations in updates.
I don't use OP gallery app. Don't ask me any questions regarding that app. If asked, the only solution I can give is, better move to Quickpic app.
My actual main camera app (for now) is Gcam Mod by arnova. I use OP camera rarely for the Pro mode & Video.
Any other working apps from Oxygen OS you guys would like me to post here along with the camera app please let me know. I download the whole roms for just 2 apks and then delete the roms. I have no trouble posting a couple more apks alongside the camera and gallery. Again, i can only extract and share the apps, cannot make them work with our device.
Cheerios :good:

Resolution is adjusted when you change the Aspect Ratio on top. Jpeg Quality is default and I guess at 85%. That is not changeable. Oneplus Camera app doesn't have the most controls but is the best HDR (fast but good) and also the most stable amongst all other phones's camera app i tested. Also if you switch to AEX5.0 you get the Pro mode from OP3/3T/5/5T working on our phone. If you want maximum controls try Snapcamera.

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.
