If you use BSG build, you will understand what I mean when you selected Pixel 2 or Pixel 2 XL model from the B-S-G settings. Could anyone enlighten me with this situation? I find it so weird that the front camera can do HDR+, but the back camera is left behind.
Can anybody contact B-S-G to help us have, at least, decent camera experience on AOSP? His build are the only one I see the potential to a working Gcam in Axon 7.

It's from the lack of Camera2 API. Though I don't know why the front camera works, i guess because camera2 isnt really needed for HDR front camera

Hi. Which build works best for you guys? I'm in Resurrection Remix nougat and its a bit frustrating with the all the builds i tried is laggy. Thx in advance
We have to contact Arnova8G2, someone said he'd be able to help with this. I sent him a PM but he didn't answer
The best course of action would be to make a bounty though.
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.

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.

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.

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.
Any Stable gcam v6 app with night sight with working front camera, slow motion etc.
Would Love to try that
Try this one https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V1f.apk
Front camera does not work at all. Rear camera is fine.
Few low light sample photos, please.

Hopefully some devs ports it soon to the device. Its a bit of a hit or miss because theres no one porting it currently. Or at least i believe at this moment.

Yes, you can use stock camera, other camera apps (eg Instagram and snapchat etc.)
I have a problem with this port. HDR processing stops halfway or in 3/4 of process and the picture doesn't get saved. I tested few versions on clean installation of the newest Arrow OS and Havoc OS. It's useless and I have to stick with stock PIE beta. If the HDR would work I could use this for back cam and stock camera port for front and I would be good to go on custom roms. If this won't work, its still a dealbreaker for me...
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

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

THank you very much.
So happy that you can compare Mi 9 with Mi 8 Google Camera performance.
Considering whether to upgrade from Mi 8 to Mi 9 for camera upgrade. THank you.

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.

okay.. hello rommco!!
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.

Hi,
Is there a way to install and run OOS Camera app (the one that comes preinstalled in OOS) in LineageOS 18.1 ? I'm guessing it's not only about the camera apk itself but also about some parts of the sub-system / kernel which include appropriate drivers to the Camera sensor hardware.
I switched from OOS to LOS and experience has been near flawless, until I remembered that camera support is as usual with AOSP roms is still a big issue since manufacturers will not open their APIs for full access and control to the camera sensor. I've tried all sorts of gCam mods, and the main issue is that none of them actually support the 2x lens, which I use a lot. Even back when I ran OOS and had both OOS camera and gCam mod installed, I would still defauilt to the native OOS camera for most usecases (full res photos, video, slowmotion and timelaps videos) and use gCam for specific uses (photosphere and panorama). I feel I'm going to have to revert to OOS if I cannot find a workaround the LineageOS / gCam situation and I feel I've been thrown back 5-10 years back camera performance-wise.
Thanks in advance for your help
There is no 2x lens in 6T it's a depth sensor.
Use this GCam Mod follow the instruction properly, it's a great camera app.
If you want to try OOS camera, try this. It didn't worked very well for me but you can try.

You are mistaken. The 6T has a dual camera set up. The first and main is a wide angle, the second is a 2x fixed lens. You can actually switch between cameras on the oneplus camera app (and you can check that by masking each camera with your finger) ; you cannot on the GCam mode which only talks to the main wide angle lense.

I dont know if its related to the API but sometimes the picture is taken with a bad focus even if it was good on the preview. And the flash is too late. There is a reddit about this with no real solution... I dont know if i have to inform lineage to adapt their stock app...
