Hi,

I installed Omni ROM, without Gapps (i do not need it). The problem is that GCam not working now. I tried several version. On LOS 14.1 everything was fine (without Gapps).

Is there any solution that GCam works on Oreo 8.1 without Gapps?

Thanks,

Which version is best suited for MIDO ??

I've been using the latest Arnova8G2 beta9, will BSG work better..?

Do we have any build which is specific to MIDO ?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] DarthJabba9:
I have been using Arnova8G2 v6. Did you ever use it? How does beta9 perform?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] misterkekko:
Ask those who understand it. I'm losing my mind at the various Google cameras. Which one do you think is the best?

Question a little more technical. Can you use the moving photo feature? If yes, how?

For motion picture i think you need Oreo ROM and Pixel config set in gcam, not sure im not using this feature.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] misterkekko:
I'm on Oreo aosp (unofficial rr). I tried some gcam, but I don't know which is better. And motion picture don't work. Also with suggest settings.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] k3lcior:
So i just tested and the motion photos work with the camera i linked.

You need this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.photos

In gcam settings enable Config camera HDR+ and also in advanced settings choose Pixel II model, close app reopen it and you should have motion photo working.

But with this settings there is something wrong with front cam photos, they are super bright & over exposed for some reason.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] misterkekko:
In the version that you linked there isn't motion picture in settings

Inviato dal mio Redmi Note 4 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] k3lcior:
It's not in settings, it will enable itself at the top. You just need to use Pixel config and have Oreo ROM.

You dont need to use this version, u can use any gcam 5.1.x / 5.2.x mod.

And to see the motion photo you need google photos app.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Amnesia404:
I just tried this and damn I'm pretty impressed and tbh now the stock camera looks pretty bad. Can someone explain how the same sensor can put out such a better result with the Gcam ? Does the stock cam have really bad optimization or something ?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] misterkekko:
Can you see me your gcam version and you settings? I can't do it. Thanks in advance.

Ps: I have Google photos. If I do a photo on gcam with motion capture. The photo erased itself.

How to install this to note4, it force closes everytime
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] flymetothemoon:
To help you, Details would be nice (which System/ROM, Gapps present or not, result of "Camera2 probe" app).

I got it working on LineageOS official 14.1 with Gapps. On unofficial LineageOS 15.1 without Gapps it closes always on start. Camera2 probe lights Level_3 support in green.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Stuart0610:
I can't help you there, sorry. I only rarely use my camera so I have not the time to test it. Although I am satisfied with the default settings.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] flymetothemoon:
For all that experience closing on start: Check your privacy Settings!

Settings --> Security and Privacy --> Privacy --> Hold for a second the Gcam app.

Allow it to "Change Settings".

This does it for me. GApps are not necessary.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] flymetothemoon:
Worked with LineageOS unofficial 15.1 WITH GApps but not without GApps. No idea why.

With LineageOS 14.1 official it just worked, no matter if GApps or not.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] flymetothemoon:

Someone made google camera for redmi 4x with everything working including slow motion.

Here is the link

https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=774539&st=6640#entry69906936

This is in Russian. So please translate it before reading.

OR

https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog129/

For downloading the app.

I tried it.. But force closes while recording slow motion video.

Can anyone port this for mido with slow motion working?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] stephendt0:
This may be because the Redmi 4x is very different to the Redmi Note 4x.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] sanju14:
Of course its different. That's why I asked if anyone could do the gcam port with slow motion for mido.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] stephendt0:
Sorry I misunderstood. I'm sure it's doable, just takes the right set of libs that work together properly.

I've tried a lot of versions of gcam, on MIUI 9.5.4.0 i have with omnivision sensor, a little bit of crashing app, especially outside..

Which you are recommending me??
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] kiodo1981:
I'm using GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V7beta-test-9.apk and it works fine except the slowmotion.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] DarthJabba9:
Which camera sensor do you have?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] kiodo1981:
I've Samsung sensors for both cameras.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] wimstefan:
Is there another way to find out which sensor is built-in than using a init.rd script to log the boot process? Matlog doesn't reveal the sensor name ...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] DarthJabba9:
Indeed Arnova works well for Samsung sensors. The real challenge is to find something that works well with omnivision.

Sorry guys, it's a few months I'm searching for a stable gcam, I've tried almost all new versions, almost all devs, I've tried:

- both Pixel Experience and Lineage OS (now I'm on it)

- flashing blobs (thinking I've omnivision sensors, but through MatLog I've found I've Samsung sensors: s5k3l8 and s5k5e8)

- flashing firmware fw_mido_miui_HMNote4XGlobal_V9.2.1.0.NCFMIEK_095a79e80a_7.0.zip

- disabling screen auto rotation

- the most settings (Pixel/Nexus mode, etc...)

but till now every gcam port has issues (FC on start or FC during use, and so on)

I've a Redmi Note 4 4/64, clean Lineage Os 15.1, TWRP for treble (obviously)

I don't mind slowmo, I don't even mind video at all... Only portrait and some normal hdr photo (both horizontal and vertical), with frontal and back camera.

Can you help me? Maybe I'm missing something...

And uninstalled stock camera too.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sectorian:
Whats is your camera sensor?

Maybe i can help.

Iv you have in the preview nougat version whit google camera pink pictures then you have a omnivision sensor.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] gasparirob:
As I said in the post, I suppose to have Samsung sensors for both front and back cameras: MatLog says I have s5k3l8 and s5k5e8 sensors.

I didn't check when I was on stock rom.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sectorian:
And you got google crash when shooting whit hdr+?

You can try this app from google camera --> https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/...GCB_7.0H_C2API_v.4.0_AllinOne_Full_Manual.apk

I got omnivision sensor but this apk is the most stable for now wen shooting hdr+. Just dont click right the way after shooting the hdr+ on the picture w8t to proces the image and then click.

Is 100% stable.

The only disadvantage is that not have portrait mode.

Thats why i use 2 power button this apk for main camera and another pixel base camera whit hdr off for portrait mode.

Try and write in the comment.

I was think that only the omnivision camera si crashing whit hdr+ .

Gues i was wrong.

I was start thinking to change my camera sensor whit samsung or sony.

But in that case it will doo nothing :(
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] gasparirob:
And what Google base camera do you use for portrait mode?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sectorian:
pixel
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] gasparirob:
Obviously ?

But which one of these: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] karamancho:
UriKills versions are made for and tested on mido

So the latest ver from him would be the safest bet
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] gasparirob:
Already tried... Urikill, arnova, bsg, scrubber... Maybe they work at the beginning, but after some days/shots they begin to FC...

I don't know why...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] karamancho:
MGCB_7.0H_C2API_Full_PXL2_v.1.4_60FPS_noburst_v3 is the only ver without crashes but it's also super old, no zsl and no portrait mode. Its on you to decide what you value more, features or stability
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] DarthJabba9:
I think much depends on your camera sensor. I have Samsung sensors and ArnovaG8 beta 9 is rock solid. Omnivision sensor users may struggle to get something decent and reliable.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] gasparirob:
I only need portrait mode
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] karamancho:
It craps out in low light situations IMO. You can try it for yourself since both can be instaled at once. The difference is night and day (pun very much intended)

Ps. I also have a samsung sensor
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] DarthJabba9:
I will have a look at Urikill. However, Arnova beta 9 has yet to FC on me (in whatever light situation). But then I don't take many pictures.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] tenshin_76:
I dunno, I've tried all the suggested ones on the Azevedo site. Currently using the one based on 4.4 and also Arnova's latest Beta. I still find pics either dull or too colourful, like too fake looking. Either that or overexposed, like weird textures on every object. But then again, I've got Samsung sensor which can't work miracles... BTW, video is pretty bad quality on both thse sensors, prefer Open Camera better.

Any other suggested version for Samsung sensor?

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] karamancho:
In settings look for black level settings for front camera and set it to 64 (should be set to 16 by default)

Edit: it looks like I misread your question, this works for the front cam, I never had problems with rear cam
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] riyadfaysal:
Where can I find it?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] karamancho:
In camera settings. Advanced settings -> black level settings -> fix black level front camera.

It should be 16 by default. Set yours to 64

I tried Urikill's latest update and sad to say the quality is not very good. Lot of noise in low light. The version in bold (which supposedly is the good, stable one) hdr+ doesn't work. The controls aren't on screen but there is no hdr+processing either after you take pic. Those of u with Samsung sensor, which version do u recommend? I truly think it's all down to sensor hardware tbh, gotta admit the Samsung one is pretty mediocre, quite worse than the Sony.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] iakoboss7:
use his latest
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] karamancho:
Did you know that these apps have settings menus? Places where you can enable things like hdr control, hdr processing and different exposure modes for better low light photos.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] tenshin_76:
Obviously buddy, hadn't toggled options enough though. I'll keep experimenting with this latest Urikill, day pics are not bad and with minimum iso setting, night pics aren't too bad either.

Urikill mod is overrated, it's terrible in low light conditions compared to https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/MGC_5.2.022_FINAL_1.0.apk

samsung senzor
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] XDA-Heinz:
I'm using this one quite happily. As you, I don't really care about stuff like slow motion video or other features, the picture quality is my main focus.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634795525
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Antretng:
Best picture quality (from my samples at least) is the one for n5 (no AF for videos and you have to turn on hdr+ the very first time you start the app)

Faster shots, with working AF and some extra settings the v1.5 version.

There are also other modes with ZSL but I found the same or worse results from 1.5

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Antretng:
There is no version without random crashes. However the latest with the ZSL support, seems to have less crashes.

For me it is not a big deal a few crashes. What is really annoying is the difficulty that it has in focusing at long distances. I don't know if it can be improved.

HDR is ON. Both are at default exposure. CBA making 10 different pictures with 10 different settings to prove my point, use Urikill if u think it's better couldn't care less lol.

Urikill produces far less detail, about twice as much noise in low light and even bigger file size output than Arnova's. Atleast on Samsung sensor.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] karamancho:
Maybe, if you use the default settings :)

Use arnovas version then.

I did a test for myself a few weeks back (when arnova released beta9) and found that in good light they are about the same but in low light urikills version gave me better photos. And I have a samsung sensor too, but im on LOS 14.1 so maybe that makes a difference IDK

With this mod you don't need to change any settings, unless you are shooting at night or low light conditions then you can play with exposure/iso settings.

My friend's n4x has a samsung sensor and i have an omnivision sensor. I just noticed that using the same gmod app his sensor has much sharper low light pictures (way more noise though)? My OV phone has less noise but it looks smudgy in low light. Is it a libs problem?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] k3lcior:
Maybe different config. Pixel configs produce low noise but are smudgy, Nexus configs have better details (sharp) but more noise.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] goodybags:
I set it to the almost same configs though, both nexus 6p for model and pixel 2017 hdr+ config. Was curious too since supposedly the libs should have not much effect since google uses their own hdr algorithm?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] k3lcior:
There isnt that much difference between different sensors, but what you described perfectly matches what i've said above which you can easily test yourself maybe your friend changed the setting.
