Which mod works without issues on Mi A2? Tried latest Arnova but camera is stuttering if hdr is enabled and if disabled there is no stutter but can't take photos. Also portrait doest work well, it takes green photos.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] 4ever1lov3:
is there any version that support the front flash LED of mi 6x/a2?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] jceballos:
I'm using the_dise latest version with no bugs but haven't used it much to be honest.... everything seems to be working ok
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] mario130jr:

I don't know about dise mods but on arnova v1.5 I can switch to the 20 mp lens.

removing older versions?

Hello all,

Do I need to remove older versions of the gcam app when I install the new one? I tried v 3.0 and v 3.1 but both of them crashed immediately after starting the app.

Edit: Currently I am on Havoc 2.4
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] TonyTerry99:
I installed the new version with uninstalling the gcam and everything works perfectly. I noticed an increase in shutter speed. I recommend uninstalling the old version because the motion photo function didn't work while uninstalling the old version and installing the new one everything works without any problem
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] fercc:

I have no idea why the version name has changed to "1-PE". Maybe someone Russian speaking can figure it out?

Edit: I can't even install this one, even after uninstall ING the previous version 3.1.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] nnexuss:

I am using aosp extd right now. It also worked on RR.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] SakatonPL:
I also can't install the DMGC ver.1.1 PE, im on the newest Pixel Experience.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] mario130jr:
This version is called pixel edition and it wont get updates

Install it if you want a stable version

Also a newer version is released on telegram that solves the install issues
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] SakatonPL:
Well not for me unfortunately. I've even deleted stock Gcam that comes with Pixel Experience using ADB shell but it still doesn't want to install.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] signation:
You are right The_dise version is also exhibiting the same deep sleep issue after few days. Force closing and clearing the data solved it for now. Maybe its related to some particular setting. Let's see if it comes back. Did you try it with the default settings ?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] duhacone:
I installed v 3.1 it is working fine, but I am not able to import settings?

So to sum up, I have v DMGC_6.2.030_ver3.1.apk , it is working nice and fast, but I don't see the import settings option?

I also have Gcam_6.1_021_advanced_v1.5.190418.1850 which I also found somewhere here and import setting is an option but it is capturing the photos very slowly.

Edit: i am on havoc2.5
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] Hot-Proton:
I am on latest Stock and can not install 3.1 PIE gcam. But this will work DMGC_6.2.030_ver.3.1.apk but only with magisk module.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] no6dyVR:
Idk if I'm late, but I know the problem. That's how it works. Portrait mode in gcam only works when it detects a face. I read about it recently. You have to use lens blur if you wanna do portrait for objects.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] ki69:
I understand that, but not all the GCAM mod´s have that option.(lens blur)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] stevedat:
I recommend this gcam version. You can google it .apk
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] no6dyVR:
That's the latest the_dise gcam. It's on https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] stevedat:
Sure, installed on my converted 6x running AICP. It works pretty well.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] signation:
Finally figured out why Gcam was causing sleep issues and standby battery drain for me. If it helps anyone, it was the HDR+ enhanced mode that was causing the issue. Tried BSG, Aranova and The_dise gcam versions but the same issue crops up after Capturing some photos in HDR+ enhanced. On BSG version, setting night sight quality to +2 and capturing a image in night sight also triggers the same bug. So I guess it has something to do with processing. The more processing the image needs the easier it is to get this bug. Using the HDR+ ON setting for a week and no deep sleep problem and battery drain anymore. It sucks to not have HDR+ enhanced because on HDR+ ON the lowlight photos are just average, on HDR+ enhanced it was great.

it came back again. It seems the issue is on the ROM side and not with GCAM. Tried with different versions of GCAM also switched between 2 different ROMs but the same bug appears after some time. Didn't bother to try a 3rd ROM because they all use the same device tree. Had to uninstall GCAM at last. :(
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] onimorza:
It got updated to v1. 2 ;)

https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-the_dise/#apk881

Changelog:

- Added "Lens Blur" mode;

- Added resolution Time Lapse video;

- Fixed choose Google Photos;

- Quality of photos in "Lens Blur" 12Mpx
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] luminoso:
Since GCam 6.2 the app takes a lot of time to initialize. The view finder is slow (kinda 1 or 2fps) for a few seconds and only then it has a smooth image.

Plus, the HDR button never shows the OK with a checkmark like it used to do in 6.1. Anyone else having these issues?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] HTCDevil:
What works?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] qwerty_339:
I've been using DMGC_6.2.030 for a few weeks now and haven't really had any issues, the gallery even works (it always crashed in the other versions I've tried). The only thing is sometimes Google Photos will crash when I'm viewing Live photos.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gautam J:
Arnova's version1.1_build.6.1.013.216795316 is very stable. Everything works, including Night Sight, Motion Photos, Portrait Mode, etc. Photobooth is the only feature that crashes in this version. Been trying out many new versions, yet nothing is as stable as this one.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] luminoso:
Arnova's version1.1_build.6.1.013.216795316 makes photos greenish. Test MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-TlnNeun_Urnyx05-v4.5.apk and compare. Urnyx aren't greenish
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gautam J:
Arnova's version does not give greenish pics, at least for me. I did test Urnyx. Sure enough, Urnyx version has a ton of extra features, but I kinda like the color of the pics from Arnova's version. I tried tweaking some of the params too. I would say both are very stable :)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] onimorza:
I don't recall ever having greenish issues with Arnova's builds.

And I'm under the impression that Arnova's pictures are of better quality than those of The Dise, but I still have to test this thoroughly.

I'm using Arnova's v8.3b1 (gcam5), Advanced 1.5 (gcam6) and The Dise v3.1 (gcam6).

The most stable remains Arnova v8.3b1, but it is missing some nice gcam6 features.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] johnsci911:
Can you guys try MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-based_v.1.3d-_TlnNeun

Compare this version with others?

I have been trying other versions of GCAM and nothing can beat this version so far

I am just using all stock settings, all features are working
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] Olmaik:
Yeah i agree. I tried The Dise version and Arnova Advanced 1.5 wich i use since its out and i still think its best version for Mi A2. I took same picture with The Dise a Arnova version and Arnova version have more details then The Dise version and for me better colors and overall look i think but its personal i like natural colors and look.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] tridip.das2:

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] horizon-blues:
Arnova's Advanced 1.5 version works fine for miA2:svetius:
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] Eduardo.medi:
In my experience, Arnova's latest 6.2.024_Advanced gives the best result for both front and back camera. Only change the front camera to Nexus 6p and your set!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] robi10101298:

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] anxonic:
What's the best config for Arnova 1.6? I found a config on the website but it looks like it's for 1.4. Is there a better one for 1.6?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] onimorza:
The configs stay practically the same. There are also a few good ones posted in this thread by e.g. boljan1974. I've based my config on one of his.

I find arnova's 1.6 more stable than 2.1, that last one crashes a lot and image is stuttering. His 2.x versions need more polishing before they work fine on our device.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] anxonic:
Thanks! That clears it up. I'll try and find that config on this thread.

And yes, I tried both 2.1 and 1.6 and I agree with you about the stability part. I hope he's able to get 2.x up the same level soon.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] 5AKIB:

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] mario130jr:
I changed from Arnova version to the_dise recently because Ii noticed that night sight mode takes significantly more time than the_dise version

Is this version faster? :confused:

If not, can i install 2 versions instead of updating the existing gcam and use the_dise version for night sight :confused:
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] onimorza:
I have the feeling The Dise versions are snappier and more stable on our device, but Arnova's give better pictures. I use them parallel to each other depending the circumstances.

When you have e.g. The Dise installed and want to install Arnova, it will say either 'A' that this program hasn't been installed yet so asks you if you want to install, then you're good, or 'B' if you want to update a current version of the camera, then it will overwrite the other one, that's not good.

I solved it like this: I first had installed only Arnova and then cloned it and gave it a different name (you can find an app cloner here: https://appcloner.app/ ), for convenience I named it Arnova1.6clone. Then I uninstalled the original Arnova and then installed The Dise. You can do this for every other gcam version of any developer to have multiple gcams next to each other for e.g. testing or comparison purposes. Just create a bunch of clones :laugh:

Please note that after cloning you need to enter your settings again as it counts as a fresh install.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] technotika:
Been rocking the dise versions and are really good, however never seemed to get any EIS on video, at any res, and at any bit rate. After seeing the new posts here about arnova, can safely say I found "my" best gcam so far. Loaded with the 1.4 config with 1.5 version (new ones not stable at all with j_sprout), been really impressed with picture quality, video seems to have EIS, even at 4K, correct me if I'm wrong guys , but you can tell by the crop in etc. Yes a tad laggy but seems like it's really pushing the device to make the best images possible. Running stock with Api2 enabled via temp root.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] Olmaik:
What Libs did u guys use for Arnova's Advanced 1.6 version?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] onimorza:
I must admit that I have never changed the libs option before, so I'm using the default one.

Is there much difference? Is it a matter of noise vs detail?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] Olmaik:
i read some post here and use some configs on elder versions from Arnova where Libs were changed but i cant spot the difference so i use basic i just change Config and use basic settings and i am happy with results.. i just ask if anyway change it and have with it better results then with basic settings.. just curious u know :D

It might be interesting to know which gcam you are using or have been testing?

I have just tested it with the latest one from The Dise and it seems to work just fine.

Edit: ah, but I don't use Google Photos so I have disabled this in 'developer settings'.

I keep preferring Arnova's 1.6, a bit more dynamic range and better color accuracy (specially portrait mode).

But it's nice to have options!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] no6dyVR:
Exactly. Arnova's has the best colors, the_dise or bulkin043 is either to saturated or too grey with no colors
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] onimorza:
Indeed, I keep them both installed, Arnova's for when time doesn't matter as it crashes regularly, and the_dise's for stability, although I also still use Arnova's 8.3b1 for stability and good quality, but that one misses a lot of modern options.

So many choices, so many choices :silly:

I think you should try MicroG.

It allows you to use some features on your phone that otherwise require google's packages installed by reimplementing some Google core services, without ever installing anything Google related related on your phone.

Please note that MicroG is open source and maybe doesn't work with all apps that Gapps does.

Thanks!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] Groove18:
Hi guys

What would you say is currently the best gcam?

For me its the_dise 3.1 (im not on pixel experience, regular rom), i also have arnova 1.6 installed (had performance issues with 1.7 so i uninstalled it). Im also using 1.4 config and my config on arnova cam(best night sight overall imo, although reaally slow). So, for me its the_dise thats best overall but i noticed it had some issues with red colour and all the shades of red, it makes them look weird and unnatural most of the time in daylight, but for me in general it has better wb than arnova which seems too cold. If someone knows or has better arnova build please recommend.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] onimorza:
I also went back to Arnova's 1.6.

1.7 had an extremely zoomed in video camera and 2.2 was stuttering and crashing all the time.

Also using the Dise 1.6PE on my stock ROM.

And Arnova's older 8.3b1.

Mixed feelings about them all :rolleyes:
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods] Groove18:
I just installed dise 1.6-PE, because the first time i tried it didnt let me install it so i thought its just for pixel experience rom...nvm

It seems to be better than previous dise apps i installed. Its working really fine and colours seem to be better, but arnova still has better night sight imo.

The result ist disappointing. This gcam picture is maybe better in HDR, but the foto is much more blurry. Too blurry for my taste. Just look at the fruits on the floor.

The "improvment" is nothing compared to the gcam and the stock camera app of the Redmi 5 Plus
