Does Google camera right now utilise our secondary camera? or it only use single camera?

Ok, gcam is definitely a needed app for Poco F1. But just found that the play ground app was getting FC when try to open it. Tried with two version of Gcam but still the same. Below are the details:

GCAM version: MGC_6.1.021_V1h / MGC_6.1.021_V2a+

Miui 10 global beta 8.12.20

AR Core version: ARCore 1.6.18111209

Playground version: Playground_All_Pack_V1.8build-2.1.181127086.apk

Appreciate if anyone has a solution on it.

Regarding night sight mini popup, it doesn't come in the nights even when pixel auto hdr+ option is enabled.

Im using the latest v1+ version.

Any idea how to fix it?

I'm using the same version. Playground works fine for me. Try uninstalling and then reinstalling both the arcore and playground. If that doesn't work try the same for gcam as well.

Using AOSP Extended (11/12), and yes have full root permissions enabled if ur asking that in kernel aduitor, also what's a fingerprint in roms? Is it sort of mac id for phones?

And what can be done to fix the ar problem (other than flashing new rom?)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] giridharan860@gmail.com:
The new arnova version works but night sight doesn't works as usual and when u enable motion function the app doesn't opens in stable ROM pie
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Stampyron:
Check the device section in kernel adiuter and send the fingerprint here. Device fingerprint is basically used to identify the model of the phone.

Arcore uses this device fingerprint to figure out which device model you have and then applies a device_config that is tuned and made for that specific device. This is done everytime you open an ARCore app. If your rom used a different device fingerprint that is meant for another device that doesn't support arcore, ARCore won't be able to find the device_config for the device and therefore crashes.

You can use MagiskHide Props Config found in the magisk download sections and change the device fingerprint back to poco. You can read all about the module and how to use it here

I am worried that if I unlock and Install TWRP I will loose the OTA updates automatically

Please help me
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] sarathchandraj:
Unlocking bootloader doesn't prevent you from getting OTA updates. Just go ahead and unlock it. I've been getting OTA updates without any issues. And I can update them within the app too.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] LoneRanger007:
Thank you..that did the trick..for all other if u're using 'safety net patch" module, just remove it else it will conflict with "magisk hide props" and will not change the fingerprint, and the main culprit for change was the safety patch module, removing it reverts to default id.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sreekantt:
Motion photos need Level 3 Camera 2 api or support for YUV format.

New Stable Miui update is expected in early Jan. Hopefully Xiaomi includes the new vendor in it.

Google camera portrait works only on human subjects which requires a special format. Use Mi cam port for portrait on objects

I fail to understand.. Despite of fixing issue... Updates are cracking the working things

1. Selfie is coming pink :p

2. Portrait mode crashes in selfie

3. Slow mo.. Still a mystery

4. Lags are coming

5. After clicking many times the photos are getting clicked.. Its a weird thing

I have lost all the hopes with the developer

P. S: I am on latest MIUI pie beta 8.12.20
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sreekantt:
WTF ?

1. Turn off 'Fix black level' in settings which you enabled.

2. Nobody is facing it.

3. Of course! Slow mo is always a mystery with Gcam because it has custom libraries. At least it works on ours along with few other devices sacrificing the quality with a new hack where as it crashes on 90% of other phones.

4. Nobody is facing it too unless you click more than 6-7 pics within seconds which equates to more than 100 pics to process at a time. Use HDR+ Enhanced if you want to click tens of pics consecutively.

5. What ? Never faced it. Any logcat ?

Don't blame the dev for user side errors as he isn't doing magic and nobody is forcing here to use it.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mr.Sm1th:
Lost all hope?

Then it would be a good time to prove yourself that you might be able to handle the gcam port development.

Imagine if you are the one who developed the gcam port and someone say they lost hope for you while you were doing it for free...

Seriously we can't thank you enough to BSG and also sreekant for this development... Without them we might not have gcam at all
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] praveenriyer:
1. I never touched any setting.. Its ON by default.. And anyways why adding unnecessary settings which user will only fave trouble for the reason.. This setting was never there BEFORE.

2. I have more than ten apks for this app.. But still we are not getting the basics correct.. Night shot is still ****ty, no idea of slow mo.

Even miui night shot is better.. Camera goes haywire and takes time to take a photo, even doesn't responds to the shutter clicking many times only works..

Google will shutdown the program if they come to know.. Not because of IP issue.. But the app was made miserable and its deteriorating the Gcam in public..

I was patient since many months.. If you're not able to correct it.. Don't give people such a miserable piece of apk.. And better remove features if it's not working..
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mr.Sm1th:
That's wonderful bro..

We suggest you to uninstal this gcam port and continue using miui camera which is works wonderfully for you..

And google wont shutdown gcam just because of the bad port..

It will only make people like you will go ahead and buy Google Pixel phones..

While people like the one are here in this forum strive to be better..

To be better is the way of life for some of us here in Xda..

Please stop being so patient with this gcam and go buy pixel phones...

So you will stop giving us your negative vibes here in this forum...

This thread is clearly not for you...
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] crazyDarshan:

---------- Post added at 11:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 AM ----------

I guess only you're facing such issues. Maybe something wrong with your device, get it repaired.?

If you're happy using Mi camera app.. then go for it. Why you're shouting here in gcam thread. These developer are not getting paid from Xiaomi for making ports. If you're ready to sponsor them, then they might make a custom gcam port for your device. Think before you speak. :angel:
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] praveenriyer:
First I wasn't talking to you so no need to poke your nose into it.

Secondly.. You don't even deserve a reply i was talking to the Dev directly.. So don't try and ping unnecessarily
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sreekantt:
1. It's not enabled by default and if it is- We didn't know it would be so hard to turn off a simple switch. You're not the only one to whom this port is custom made. That setting is aimed at Redmi Note 3 users. There's nothing wrong in having options as personal preferences vary.

2. Lolll! Nobody is sponsored here to do something. Everybody including the other users who are trying to help each other are investing countless hours for making something to work which isn't supposed to do primarily and here you are ranting about things which are working for everybody except you and without a proper logcat.

Neither XDA nor Android is for you. Buy an I phone and enjoy your closed device/life.

HDR issues with BSG mod

I have been facing this same issue repeatedly with various versions of the mod. I can't take pictures if I disable HDR, with the latest version and previous versions. Please help.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sreekantt:
That's already known and needs support for YUV format for it to work which isn't present on our device and only Xiaomi can fix with firmware. Let me know if anyone finds reliable algo for converting Yuv to RGB on the fly.

But, Why do you want to click non HDR pics on Gcam? They would be pretty bad and 200% worse than stock cam. You're better off using stock cam port for Non HDR pics in burst shoot scenario and HDR+ in gcam for far better quality.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] koax88:
to whoever who rant about this port. Personally, im really grateful for this port. its miles better then the one ive used on op3t. I owned a pixel 2 ,bought poco f1 after my p2 bricked, trust me the picture quality is pretty much the same. Night mode on miui stock camera is a joke, it just boost the contrast and saturation and make the images seems heavily edited. gcam night sight is far better with natural color and detail and comparable with p2 gcam. Stop your whining and just accept this port as it is and be grateful.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] CROrION:
Lol i am on xiaomi eu rom, no problems with gcam, works perfect. I see some guys complaining here, and they are probably on stock rom that is not good for gcam.

It works when on the first run, but once it shows the error, then it never works until I flash the ROM again (MIUI 8.12.20).

Also, none of the other AR apps work.

I'm a OG Pixel user who just bought a Poco and I'm loving coming back to the ROM flashing days of Nexus 4 and 5.

I've been surreptitiously following this thread and installing all apks and enjoying gcam for a while now. So far I have followed OP and everything has worked almost exactly as described. Wanted to share my setup in case it will help someone.

ROM: MIUI 10 Beta 8.12.27

Installed MGC 6.1.021 MI8 V2a+

All stock, no fix flashed

Everything works great!

Few things I've noticed:

Video stabilization doesn't really work in any video quality

I was the biggest user of double clicking power button for camera, but in MIUI I haven't found a way to override the stock cam. But I'm getting used to this, especially with the ridiculously fast face unlock

Other than that, I'm extremely greatful for the devs and this community for this port. It has enabled me to spend less than 300 USD and still have almost a Pixel 3 cam. (I sometimes use the OG Pixel for unlimited storage sometimes [emoji4])

I wish I could contribute more than just this post and my experience. Maybe a night shot from yesterday.

Edit - don't have permission to upload photos [emoji17] I guess I'm too newbie
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] serralha137:

I have exactly the same setup as yours, MIUI 10 beta with MGC 6.1.021 MI8 V2a+.
