There is no ONE Gcam mod, there is bunch of them, so when you people put pictures of your gcam, PLEASE write what gcam mod apk is it.

[MENTION=8484926]emperor8696[/MENTION], that sample picture of gcam sucks, change the gcam mod to something else.

I tested today bunch of gcam mods, and the best results overal gave "Arnova's v8.1: GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.1.apk ".

Tested:

GoogleCamera-Pixel3Mod-Arnova8G2-V3_Aux-4.02

GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.1

MGCamera_5.1.0.18_R4X_v.5.1.19

OP6_test_1.2.2_GCam_5.3.015-Pixel3Mod-Arnova8G2-Test-focus-3-no-stable

skulshady_gcam_5.1.018_Mod_v6_fix

The best overal results gave "GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.1", but to point that I tested pictures INDOORS, not outside.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] kradNZ:
Looks like the Mi A2 GCam isn't in focus, or is focusing on a different part of the scene.

Don't forget, the Mi A2 has a higher spec camera than those other devices so the differences are probably going to be less dramatic.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] Benjamin_L:
There are several comparison pics in this thread showing improvements. The one above doesnt really help. But yeah, Stock is pretty good in the a2 already
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] deckimbal:
Thanks for your link. My mi a2 is on it's way - I will have a look at your gcam mod, when it arrives!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] Benjamin_L:
Arnovas build gives you focus dots currently so i would not recommend it
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] minnuss:

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] minnuss:
Arnova2 - https://drive.google.com/open?id=1RK1KK97s60cW48viBRoQMgv-LzT-D2Ry

MGcam - https://drive.google.com/open?id=14rP6mBqJQ3z6eofp9FFLIPyC2HCA-QfM

Stock Mi A2 cam - https://drive.google.com/open?id=1liHzDSDwsLEjUm85DLYYpXZjAjXh0DcP

I dont like MGcam at all ... I have more indoor pictures, but they are to private to put public, so you can see only this three samples, but in all of them that I tested, Arnova2 gave best results.

Here is even stock cam better then MGcam.

Just my opinion.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] Benjamin_L:
I used MGCamera_5.1.0.18_R4X_v.5.1.19-fu24_1.3.apk
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] minnuss:
This in test was Arthur mod of MGCamera_5.1.0.18_R4X_v.5.1.19, not fu24.

Ok, I will trust your word and check that out.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] Benjamin_L:
I think it doesnt really matter. Take the camera which works best for you. Tastes are, as we all know, different :)

lock the phone again without losing the camera 2 API?

hi,

sorry totally noob here

I correctly unlocked boot, flashed patched_boot, persisted props and then arnova works perfectly

then flashed original boot again to remove Magisk and make it OTA-compatible and everything still works

but then when I try to "fastboot oem lock" to restore phone security and make sure I will not have problems with OTAs it wipes the data and I lose the persisted props

I tried using the "volume -" trick from the "GUIDE Rooting Mi A1 without TWRP and wiping (post May Security Patch)" (sorry cannot post URLs, it's in Xiami Mi A1 guides, News & Discussion) but with the A2 (unlike the A1) "volume -" trick locks/unlocks seem to case a bootloop

in fact just executing "fastboot oem unlock" with the "volume -" trick seems to avoid the wipe but then causes a bootloop when rebooting the A2 (in case it happens to anyone I recover from it by doing a "fastboot oem lock" which wipes and restores the phone)

I'm just interested in touching as less as possible, activating the camera 2 API and still having OTA updates

does anybody know of a method to lock the phone again without losing the camera 2 API?

am I missing something obvious?

thanks

IMO, the best gcam for front camera is still the old Arnova v8.3b1

This one is great, but the pictures taken by the front camera have a fish eye effect once they done processing. Does anyone know how to solve that? Already tried cleaning cache and reinstalling the app. Thanks.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] no6dyVR:
I dont have fish eye, but I noticed the smooth skin or whatever its called, effect doesnt really work like it did in 6.2. Also selfies come mirrored which I like, but it would be cool to have a switch to change to mirror or no mirror.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gautam J:
There IS an option in the settings to switch mirror on and off.

Where exactly? I couldn't find it :/
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] zloduheg:
For me, portrait mode on back camera just zooms freezes and nothing. Front cam portrait works but it makes 2 pics. one should be with background blur but it blurs the entire picture. Funny stuff.

Sorry if this has been covered already.

I just bought a Mi A2 and have updated to Android Version 9.

Do I still have to root to get gcam?

Is there a version of gcam which works with Android 9?

Also is there a clean and easy to follow set of instructions how to install gcam without requiring too much technical knowledge?

Thanks,
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] Olmaik:
Yes u have to root to get gcam. There is no other way. If u follow this guide u can do it even if u dont know much about it. Its very detailed and works fine.

Other functions like main camera (portrait/photo/video), front camera photo/portrait, slo-mo are working. I can live with it, I still have the default Xiaomi camera that's working fine for selfie video.

I'm on Havoc 2.8 latest (Android 9 Pie), Camera2API enabled.

Can anyone else confirm?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] akpe:
Hi all,

Running latest PixelExperience, I've been using The_Dice version which works perfectly on my device.

However, any other GCam version I've tried, like cstark's and even the one from the Play Store just closes. Looking around I found that for some reason on Camera2 Probe, Hardware Support Level only has Level 3 checked for my device, not FULL/LIMITED/LEGACY

Stupid question, but does this mean Camera2 api isn't enabled? Is there something more I should do?

Thanks!

edit: nevermind, stupid me confused legacy with level 3. I checked with Gcamator and apparently I'm ok :)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] Kunnalthapa:
Only one mode can be activated at a time. Limited is better legacy, full is better than limited and level 3 is better then all of them. You are already running the best.

And crashing has nothing to do with the mode, it is becoz of pixel experience rom.

Issue: SELinux Premissive, you have change to SELinex Enforcing.

But if The_Dise is working for you, just use that.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] akpe:
You do lose a bit of detail, I guess, but it's better than having dots all around.

By the way, if you only plan to view your photos on Google Photos, you might want to keep hdr on. The compression Google uses when uploading them to Photos practically hides them, but only when viewing them in Photos through the app or from the website.

If you download them to your device or your computer, they appear again.
