Facing lag in BSG PixelPlusNS HDR+ mode

Hey, I'm using the recommended settings on my poco phone f1 with MIUI 10 stable 10.1.3. Everything works fine when confg. Is on auto or other than BSG PixelPlusNS HDR, but while using BSG PixelPlusNS HDR I'm facing serious lag on camera screen. [With or without buffer fix]

Also, on all recommended settings I'm facing serious lag in night sight mode too. Any suggestions?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] crazyDarshan:
I think that flickering is due to AC current frequency 50/60Hz make lights flicker. But our eyes won't notice it, camera does in HFR video. You can set your AC frequency in Anti Banding option and try.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] akhileshr:
BSG PixelPlusNS HDR starts Night sight automaticaly in low light, so you must be checking it low light. I use it on Auto, night sight is still experimental on the global stable.

Guys, for gcam tools pro, do I need to pause and start every time I use it? Because I tried with portrait pic and the file is not moving until I pause and restart the gcam tools. Is it how it works?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Stampyron:
Don't use BSG PixelPlusNS HDR. Auto is fine
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Jatin1101:
Too laggy even with all suggested settings

Its too buggy on my device. Tried all recommended settings but lags a lot even after enabling buffer setting. I have tried at lease 10 GCAM mods and the best one works fine for 2 pictures and gets laggy in the 3rd one. I have to keep restarting the app after every 2 pictures for app to work fine. Kindly let me know if there's any apk which works smooth/flawlessly.

How can I change the antibanding to 60hz the lighting is different in my country causing 4 vertical lines in the camera.

Not a problem when stock cam is using 60 hz antiband

the app hangs after taking few picture, I just update to the latest vendor. Im on Syberia OS.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ph@lo:
Try going back to Auto if you're on BSG PixelPlusNS HDR+. I had the same issue until I reverted back to Auto, and then it was fine again.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] YC1818:
For those with latest stable miui pie with latest Gcam, you do not need to close yr Gcam after two shots, just need to switch to video or portrait mode if you on camera mode, and switch it back and you can continue to take 2 shots again and just repeat the same process.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sreekantt:
You don't need it because HDR+ Enhanced automatically captures in Night Sight if it detects low light.

Instead of trying tons of Gcam mods, You could have switched to MIUI beta or Flash the fix as mentioned in OP.

Are you sure you are capturing HDR+ Pics? (Because Non HDR pics won't save)

By chance, Did you enable the wrong 'motion' toggle in the 'Bsg settings >Fix' ? It needs to be disabled if that's the case.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] shouk_1987:
I didnot touch hdr toggle in viewfinder

No I enabled the motion in viewfinder processing setting nenu
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sreekantt:
That's weird! May be decrease the HDR+ Parameters and change input model to Pixel 3? Is it saving now?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] shouk_1987:
I tried both pixel xl and pixel 3 and it stopped saving after a while in both

I had to clear data to make it save then after a while it stops saving

My hdr+ are 6 and 16 what do you mean by decrease to reach which numbers

I have uninstalled it now and trying miui cam port as an alternative

But seems its quality is no match for gcam

Once I get gcam back I will test again but with which hdr+ parameters ?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zlatislav:
Hi guys, I have poco with latest stable version miui 10 on Android P which came to me OTA.

Can someone please explain breafely how can I install this app. Everytime I try it tells me that app was not installed.

The phone is not rooted.

Thank you!
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Moosh:
I had this issue too and forgot to uninstall a previous version of the camera. Try doing that and then installing the new version.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nsd333:
There is still a bug which prevents you from launching gcam with a double power button tap while your phone is locked. And if you launch it after cold boot it won't make any photos.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dargon91:
[MENTION=1315624]Moosh[/MENTION] I did uninstall the previous version but still can't install a new one..
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] elna.nitz:
I try these settings on the last version of los 16 and when I run the setting - BSG PixelPlusNS HDR + - its very laging. Only on auto works fine.

Also, since these settings it is impossible to shoot video. When I switch to video shooting mode the app is crashing.

And last question: In night mode the camera is very lag and processing of the photography is very slow. Is this how it should be?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sreekantt:
I guess you're on stable 10.1.3 firmware. Flash this one. It will fix everything.

Regarding video crash - Enable X265 in Gcam settings > Force stop the app > Disable X265 > Force stop the app
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] elna.nitz:
Thanks for the answer, indeed I am on the 10.1.3 firmware.

If I want to flash the version of firmware that you have uploaded in link, am I just flash this with twrp and that's it?

Do you need to flash again the lineageos? Will this delete all my data?

Thank you
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sreekantt:
You don't need to wipe anything. Just flash it.

Your data won't be erased but a back up will always be good.

It's not needed to flash LOS again but I do recommend a dirty flash to get rid of few inconsistencies.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] MarilynMansonsHusband:
Hi, I'm having the same problem too. I put the settings the way they suggested, but, when I'm on the camera mode (to take still images), there's a very annoying lag, it won't let me take any picture. Can you guys help me out, please. Thank you.

Im on havoc os but vendor is of 10.1.3. i had flashed that twrp zip for fixing night sight. The night sight was working great. But it disabled the portrait option in miui cam. though clicking portrait shot in miui cam. In gallery They were showing as normal pic not portrait.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] tabzsmart:
No issues here
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sreekantt:
Raw 10 is the best. Other options are for devices whuch can't do Raw 10.

Looks like you are on stable firmware.

Why not flash beta firmware? Stable firmware is crap.

I have removed snap camera which is the stock for linage via debloater and then cleared gcam data

Nww saving and testing for a while

I have left interface as pixel 3 and config auto

And hdr+ for 1/4 and 6 16 and enabled viewfinder processing radio buttons

Edit 1 : now it is not saving after upgrading LOS even when data is cleared, I really want to have stable gcam and i am having all requirements :(

Edit 2 : I am also facing a shortcut problem where i can open camera by pressing double power button from any place

It works fine if screen is NOT locked , if screen locked it gives me permission error while i have given all permissions to camera app plus allowing to modify system settings

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] MasterFURQAN:
There's an option for 60 FPS video recording. Does it work at the moment ? I tried it but I don't think videos are being recorded at 60 FPS.

I think that until Xiaomi itself implements it on their stock camera, it won't be possible on gcam too.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Langpang:
It doesnt work for me on lineage os ...
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] shouk_1987:
Is gcam working fine with you in LOS , I have the issue of pics are not saving

I tried everything and it saves for a while then suddenly stops saving
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] hellomark:
Many thanks.

The latest version works almost perfectly except for video stabilization. It seems that OIS or EIS is not working although it is enabled in the settings. The video is more shaky but has better ACF compared with stocked camera. Hope it will be fixed soon.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] thiagoml:
It's happening to me too. When I installed the app, the very first slow motion video was butter smooth, capturing every frame and playing great. All the other videos I took after that one was choppy. I tryed cleaning data and cache, changing settings to the ones recommended in a previous post but nothing seems to work. I'm on Pixel Experience latest version with Magisk 18. Haven't changed anything on the system so for(kernel). Anyone have an idea for that issue?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] TioCareca:
you using it in low light/indoor artificial light?

It happening for me in that conditions, in outdoor in good light it works without flickering... a little chopped from time to time as if skipping frames but the best i have seen until now...

Install arcore 1.6.181112096 arm64-v8a + armeabi-v7a and lastly playground apk . This should work.

You don't have to mimic the setup as it works perfectly on all the Pie roms except Miui stable.

Just some info for you, official twrp has a lot of bugs currently not fixed, but unofficial twrp has most of the bugs fixed and can be used reliably.

For the ROM any is fine as long as your vendor, which is the most important part for gcam, is from pie beta. Latest vendor is working fine for my device running on latest no's.
