Astrophotography on Gcam - Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers

Is astrophotography working on RN7 on Gcam?
I downloaded latest version of Gcam and setup all in developers options and still I cant get astrophotography..
I read somewhere that this is not available on MiUI..

I've unlocked and installed a custom rom (Atom OS, Android 10 based), thinking that being on Android 9 based MiUi would be the problem for not having Astrophotography mod working on my RN 7 - unfortunately, even on the new rom, this is not working.

Astrophotography doesn't work either for me with RedMi Note 7, MIUI 10.3.6.0 and Google Camera v7.0.009 V13 by Bulkin043 aka InnocentParrot.
I tried to put the phone on the table, I set the night sight, the 3 second self-timer, the focus on infinity, as seen on some YouTube videos, but the 1 minute and 6 second shot does not happen.
What am I doing wrong? Or what should i do to enable it?

Astrophotography it's pretty new I think it's not available for our model yet.

Astrophotography works in default miui cam. I managed to click some decent pictures.

It works good with miui manual cam settings.

Same with Redmi 4x even the camera2api is already level 3.
Infinity focus, 3 second timer already set.

Can hoy share a photo with that mode?. Don't ver confused with the regular night mode?.
Thanks

You can see a comparison near the end of this youtube video: vOPA7Xz8fTk
(sorry but I'm not yet allowed to post an outside url)
Or in other similar videos searching for google camera astrophotograpy.

I don't think so, because the length of the shot in normal night sight mode is about 6 seconds while in astrophotography the shot is about 1 minute and 6 seconds long.

very nice, but I think it´s not working for me on the official global miui. It may be related to a firmware on the phone.

I know that mostly Custom ROMs have Snapdragon camera, I was saying that mabye I'll try to use Camera FV-5 on some custom to see if there will be manual focus at least (I don't think there will be focus peaking tho). In MIUI installing FV-5 there's not even manual focus, instead on MIUI camera app there's manual focus and focus peaking too.

After Leaving MIUI 8 and choosing CM13 on my mi4i , i just felt miui camera app is awesome. A d after 2 weeks trying every 3rd party camera app, luckily i found a good alternative to this, and that is OPPO camera mod, you can find oppo camera app searching in threads. That works great but i have downloaded a oppo camera version that looks same as R7 camera app. You can try that searching in forums.

Probably I tried some Oppo camera with my Mi4, but I can't remember well.
I'll definitely give it a try, anyway I guess there will not be focus peaking feature.

Actually, Oppo camera app have more features than miui camera app, like HDR, HD pic (more sturations for cropping), slow shutter (lightning painting), Gif, doubke exposure etc etc... All you need is to download 2 apks, 1 for app 1 for plugins.. thats it. I HAVE UPLOADED 2 CAMERA APP INTERFACE SCREEN SHOTS. THATS Mi4i. CM13

If you enable camera2 api, all apps that support it will work. Otherwise, only MIUI camera has it (proprietary api?).

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)

Well, probably device, ROM and versionof it, version of app and settings: Config camera HDR+, Model, HDR+ parameters, Advanced. Plus some sample photos.
IDK what else?

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.

Yes it is!
Go and edit this file: /system/etc/camera/msm8996_camera.xml
You can use ES_File Explorer built in Note editor.
Look for:
<Position>FRONT</Position>
<MountAngle>360</MountAngle>
and change the "360" for "270". There's 2 times on this file.
It will be:
<Position>FRONT</Position>
<MountAngle>270</MountAngle>
Now save and reboot the phone.

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.

Google Cam ports

Anyone tested out any gcam ports?
I've just tried one (from the Mi 8 xda forums link below, via telegram) and initial tests show photos and night sight works! Not tested it thoroughly yet though, such as video etc
It's this one:
MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V2e.apk
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8/themes/mi-8-google-camera-mod-t3803984
Update: seems most things work other than portrait mode, just crashes
Hi cd993,
what for a miui version runs your Mi9 out of the box? is it on stable channel? Is camera api2 enabled as default in miui9 stable yet?
can you please test if HDR+ is working and can you confirm the port uses the primary (48mpix) lens for photos or does it use another from the three lenses?
I hope i get my Mi9 tomorrow, then i'll do a big photo comparison between Mi9 camera vs. my Mate 20 pro and my grilfriends Mi8 (with google port).
Can't wait to unlock the phone and hope a pixel experience port will arrive soon
Thanks

Hey,
OK see attached my miui version.
HDR+ appears to work, it takes that little bit longer to process, though not tested thoroughly. The photo was 12mp so presumably just the standard lens
Thanks fotr the info.
Its the stable channel version, lets look how the beta version is ... after 300hours ...
Can you test the camera setup again? 12mpix can be correct even if its shoot with the primary 48mpix sensor because the sensor uses "pixel binning", these combines four to one pixel to increase sharphness and lightning. Maybe the pixelbinning were just applied in the sensor itself. Its easy to test which lense the port uses. open the google cam port and cover the lenses with a finger, if you look at the viewfinder. when you cover the lens at the top and the "viewfinder is covered" then the primary lens (48mpix) sensor is used.
Thanks

Yes, but i can finalize the comparison even after March 16th, due to traveling.
I've done a comparison between Mi8 and P20pro last year but Mi8 was shooting without Google Cam port, because the port wasnt availible at this time.

Can you tell me the best settings you have found to make gcam work efficiently on our mi9?
Pics are too softened by night with normal camera. And with night mode they are catastrophic too much artificial sharpening.

Much better to use Arnova latest version. Since mi 9 supports c2api level 3 can utilize the aux camera feature for telephoto.

Tap on the swap camera icon, it uses telephoto after switching to front cam
Ah thanks yes I see now.
Is there a way to use the wide angle? Perhaps not yet but will love it if/when we can
I made a comparison between Huawei Mate 20 Pro and Xiaomi Mi 9.
https://photos.app.goo.gl/ecGsAyjPUKVQ7adX9
I'll gradually add more photos.
See the watermark to differentiate the phones.
Images without watermark were captured with the Google Pixel Port (in the dark with Nightsight)
Images were captured via point and shoot, both "AI" Features are enabled. Google Pixel with HDR+
Can somebody link a scam that works directly with the mi9? Is it possible to take photos in 16/9? 12 mo lens I think...
Thank you.

I think not yet since most ports are from phones with dual cam only with telephoto. Hoping someone will port a build specifically for mi 9.
Found a version where portrait works.
GCam_6.1.021_N7P_test2.3.apk
Motion photo also works, theres also a toggle to always show night mode for easy access which I think is really good.

Is the autofocus problem prevalent in all ROMS? Kernels?

Hey! I love this phone but i'm kinda getting tired of my beautiful gcam pictures coming out a little blurry, and not being able to "tap to focus". 9MP is off the table for me since I just can't get myself to like the aspect ratio. So, is there any rom or kernel that fixes it? obviously, it has to be pie.
note: the last time i tried to unlock my bootloader, an error popped up. when i reseted my phone, the official pie update installed itself. would that affect any new attempt at unlocking it?
thank you guys so much in advance!
Many said that the AF problem in Pie disappear when using custom roms and install Flex's HAL1 port. I haven't tried this myself since I'm staying on Oreo.
I've got Lineageos and autofocus with gcam is good.
Custom roms dont have auto focus issues, all working good

GCam 7.3 (stable version) on Note9 Snapdragon Android 10

Hi Note9 fam. I was contemplating selling my Note9 because GCam had stopped working since Android 10. But luckily, I've found a stable version (I can't stand the performance and quality of the stock Samsung camera).
PixelCam_7.3_V3.0 by jairo_rossi (https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog1124/). The link was found originally from this list (https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/).
I tried about 9-10 different modded versions and this was by far the most stable. I'll list out below what works and does not work based on my testing. All you need to do is download the APK and install it. No other tweaks/mods required. I'm using an unrooted Note9 128gb, Snapdragon variant.
What works:
1. Photography (regular and portrait; both selfie and back cameras work flawlessly)
2. Videography (both selfie and back camera works flawlessly)
3. Night Sight (tried it in my room with all doors and windows closed) *Astrophotography is included but I have't had a chance to test it out
4. Panorama
5. Time lapse video
What does not work:
1. *Photos in 16:9 ratio (will force close and you won't be able to reopen unless you clear data/cache*
2. Slow Mo video (will force close but app will relaunch)
3. Preview after taking a photo (this will ONLY work if you have Google Photos; if you use the Samsung Gallery or any 3rd party gallery app, previewing after taking a photo does not work)

Which of them in particular. They ate about six gcams of different dates. And can it work on os9 of note 9?
I've been using GCam version MGC_6.1.021_BSG_A on my Note9 snapdragon for well over a year and it takes considerably better pics than the stock camera.
Is this version a lot better than the Pixel 3 ports like the one I've been using?
Latest Urnyx05 version works great.. but astrophotograhy isnt working

Can someone else try it?
Hello, testing jairo_rossi last update pixelcam plus 1.1 from 05/23
So far this is the best gcam for note 9 snapdragon i have tested.
In android 10, stock samsung camera got a huge improvement, very good night pics, compared to stock camera android 9. In pie, almost any gcam was better than stock. Now not any gcam is better than stock, most of the variants you got a very pixelated night pics, so gcam from jairo_rossi is a very very good! Some pics are a little dark vs stock, this can be improved.
Testig Astrophotography this night.

When enabled, the sky pics get very very pixelated, normal night shot is better. This can be by the high ISO used. May in the next update this can be improved.

Hi Note9 fam. I was contemplating selling my Note9 because GCam had stopped working since Android 10. But luckily, I've found a stable version (I can't stand the performance and quality of the stock Samsung camera).
PixelCam_7.3_V3.0 by jairo_rossi (https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog1124/). The link was found originally from this list (https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/).
I tried about 9-10 different modded versions and this was by far the most stable. I'll list out below what works and does not work based on my testing. All you need to do is download the APK and install it. No other tweaks/mods required. I'm using an unrooted Note9 128gb, Snapdragon variant.
What works:
1. Photography (regular and portrait; both selfie and back cameras work flawlessly)
2. Videography (both selfie and back camera works flawlessly)
3. Night Sight (tried it in my room with all doors and windows closed) *Astrophotography is included but I have't had a chance to test it out
4. Panorama
5. Time lapse video
What does not work:
1. *Photos in 16:9 ratio (will force close and you won't be able to reopen unless you clear data/cache*
2. Slow Mo video (will force close but app will relaunch)
3. Preview after taking a photo (this will ONLY work if you have Google Photos; if you use the Samsung Gallery or any 3rd party gallery app, previewing after taking a photo does not work)
Hope that helps! Please feel free to add in your experience. All credit goes to jairo_rossi for giving all Note9 users a stable GCam version for Android 10!

doesn't work for me... The only one that works is the latest cam plus v1.1. Although it works it is quite slow and I have N960U(snapdragon)

That sucks I was looking for this to work
Try lastest Urnyx05.
I'm testing Urnyx now.
Jairovrossi is working in my note 9. Snapdragon, android 10. If your device is exynos Look for Exynos version. If you have android 9, look for a version that works in pie.
I haven’t tried Astrophotography but everything in my original post still stands for the version I downloaded, even after 2 software updates for the Note9. The stock camera quality is still subpar after the Android 10 update so GCam is a must have for me.

For normal pics?
I just testing night sight. Last version of jairorossi pixelcamplus v2.0 is much better, but stock night shot is still very very good, i found gcam is just a little better. Tomorrow going to test normal pics.
Some samples day outside, and night shot inside.
Stock night shot is very goog in android 10, almost no diferences, and in some shots quality is not subpar.

Which gcam are you using (dev, and ver.)? Also, are you using a config for the note 9?
Hello fellas. I, as many of you, wasn't ready to give up on the gcam port for this device, so I went looking for one of the modders that hasn't let me down on these matters.
This is the version I'm using (gcam 7.3) from Arnova8G2, and the only thing missing is the astrophotography. Aside from that it works great, even the slow mo, portraits and night sight.
Cheers mates.
I want a supper camera
FYI. I have an SM-N960U with U1 stock ROM flashed onto it. This camera app opens then crashes.
i got this GCAM APK And the night sight is the same as the night mode on Samsung Stock. Their is more noise on the GCAM And Astrophotography makes no difference. anyway to fix this
