Google cam is installed but keeps crashing. I tried in Windows 7 . Also camera 2 probe is showing legacy in hardware level support.

Ok thank you. I have installed it already.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5amar31:
The settings options differ though from what you suggested in your . rar file.

The one you are suggesting is this one

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Fibra Man:
I have 2 cameras (GCam5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.6 & GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V6) and I used the same settings for both.

*EDITED*

GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V6 - SMARTEC360 suggested configuration:

Dont use Nexsus 6 auto on camera HDR+ ?Auto option is better?

In my tests I didn't see any difference. You can use "Nexus 6 auto" or "Nexus 6P" too.

Is it gonna disable the ota update? Because of the TWRP? I've seen one guy on Mi Community saying that he couldn't update to the March security because of using this tools
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Eshwar123:
Many have reported that they were able to update after using this..

I installed it after march update so don't know..

However update should work. follow the video/instructions exactly, don't do anything in TWRP or so...

If you still need confirmation, wait until April security patch is released, and people will confirm whether OTA is working or not.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] 21vm:
Absolutly not : i've installed it weeks ago and i've received security patch just as usual. If you like to take beautiful pics with your smartphone and keep disapointed by the stock cam, do not hesitate and give a try to this mod, it's really fantastic (just give a look to the pics posted above).

You may have to intempt various times to make it works, as it occurs to me, but, really, i repeat myself, it's worth it.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ocult:
One thing... when you plug your phone to the PC you select "Transfer files"?? If no try with this opcion!

Because the video and the program works for me with march update without any problem!!!

Try to follow this guide may be helps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11EWkGDWStg

try you advice & from youtube...still failed & also i ended up on unlocking my bootloader & google camera stil fc everytime i opened

Note: i got stuck on TWRP & cant past first menu, the i pressed Read Onbly & well i ended up got unlocked bootloader but no working gcam
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Distky:
Okay, thx for the information, I'm actually already install with the root method and still receive the March update and it's works fine, but I have some bugs like my phone restarting if I play a game for a long time, so I just reset my phone to test it and yeah it's still hapen (I thought it's cuz the root, n it's not). And now I installed with the tool and I want to clear that thing so I don't need to flash ota or even reset to get the update in the future.

Thank you so much guys :laugh:
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] probiewankenobi:

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] chriselanko:
Only problem is with the driver installation, Windows automatically installs other default driver once phone goes into fastboot mode.

Go to device manager, find device , select update driver, then select browser on computer , choose Samsung ADB from the list

Do it every time it gets stuck. No need to disconnect the phone or exit the application in computer
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] antonioli84:
I didnt understand the part of install another Gcam app. It says "it's necessary use that button to enable camera2Api, EIS, .."

What button?

Btw, will it replace de original Mi camera app as default in whatsapp, facebook, or whatever apps?

Thanks guys
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] macelaru:
Gcam button.

You need it first to enable camera2api, EIS. It will also install Arnova.

After the tool finished you can install any other camera you like.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] antonioli84:
Thank you mate. And what about replacing the original Xiaomi Mi Camera app. Is it does that as default?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] nitroax:
Great work man. Just on suggestion: Since this app also enables EIS and apply audio fix, i think you should rename the "Install Gcam" to something else more precise. But its your choice..

Anyway thanks to simplify this method and not to add much crap like fonts or colors :)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Prabin813:
Anyone tried EIS?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] AridaneAM:
Yes, I think it's better one button for patches and other for install apk or select different apk available.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] alf69mi:
Thanks, it worked

- removed pin and fingerprints (no lock at all)

- enabled oem unlock - usb debug

- tried the following commands before running the tool (adb /fastboot drivers 1.4.3 already installed)

adb devices (saw device listed)

adb shell reboot bootloader

fastboot devices (saw device listed)

fastboot reboot

adb kill-server

---

then launched the tool, no manual intervention at all and gcam installed.

Hope this helps
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] bilal.fanatic:
The results are very shocking, I never thought this phone could be capable of capturing images in even fairly low light so well, it completely gets rid of all the noise in the picture. See for yourself. :good::good:

ps. I used HHT mode for stock and enhanced HDR+ mode for g-cam
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] bilal.fanatic:
Yup it works, but the frame rate seemed inconsistent. Still much better than stock.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Prabin813:
For me EIS not working.can anyone upload a video sample?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] AridaneAM:
If you know adb/fastboot stuff you can do it in that way, this tool is to do the process automatically.

To see if the phone is detected.

adb devices

Reboot in fastboot mode.

adb reboot bootloader

To see if the phone in fastboot is detected.

fastboot devices

Bootloader unlock.

fastboot oem unlock

Boot into twrp. (don't touch the phone in twrp).

fastboot boot twrp.img

To see if the phone is detected.

adb devices

adb shell

Enable HAL3

setprop persist.camera.HAL3.enabled 1

Enable EIS.

setprop persist.camera.eis.enable 1

Exit of adb shell.

exit

Reboot in fastboot mode.

adb reboot bootloader

To see if the phone in fastboot is detected.

fastboot devices

Bootloader lock.

fastboot oem lock

Reboot into system.

fastboot reboot

Finally, you can install any GCam apk.

You can see that is a simple tool :)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] alf69mi:
Ok thanks ,

i was only trying to make sure the MI A1 was correctly recognized by ADB and FASTBOOT before running your tool, just to avoid problems.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] antonioli84:
Dude, I just installed here in my wife A1. It's working like a charm. If I could, I would hug you mate.

One stupid question. The camera app is supposed to work in Pixel/Nexus devices that not use SD card and I noticed that the photos really go to phone memory. So, is that any way to put make the app send the photos to SD card?

Thanks in advice

True, lots of version but as said [MENTION=7957661]Fibra Man[/MENTION] who tested a lot for our device, this version maybe the best (GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V6 (Xiaomi Mi A1) ).

I just used AridaneAM's tool to install gcam, the process seemed to be successful, but google camera app is not working, it closes right away I try to open it. Stock camera app works fine.

What could be the issue?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] jav1mad:
Hello! Do you know (or anyone from here) if the "GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V6" (or other app/version) solves de dot matrix that appear under some conditions, like in flat colors and soft gradients (sky...)?

Hi. I had the same problem, but I don't know if I use the same version as you of AridaneAM. I used the version that display 3 icons:

If you click the third icon (the X), the google cam won't work. You have to play the first and second icon.

Also, you have to disable pin, password... and fingerprint of your phone. Then, once the google cam is installed, you can again to enable your pin, password... fingerprint...

And, of course, reboot your phone. Just to insure.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Fibra Man:
It's very difficult question. Both cameras are the best in my numerous tests (on Xiaomi Mi A1). Maybe, at very low ligh, V6 take best results because the configuration "slow shutter" in Auto-exposure mode. Take some pictures w/both cameras and compare exposure and ISO. It's a very intersting experience. Regards.

5-so I had to manually reboot the phone with not to install twarp in mind

6-it did the reboot with a screen saying that my phone is now unlocked

7-i had and extra loading screen after boot saying (android is staring) and it loads every time phone starts

8- the Gcam app installed but it continually crashes and not working

9- I tried to undo the entire process using the tool to disable HAL3 but it is not working

10-i tried multiple times to install and install the app but it is always stuck at some point and the phone still saying it is unlocked and giving me this link (en.miui.com/unlock/)
