Clean installed MIUI EU 9.1.17 with Vendor 9.1.21 full wipe / format data, installed latest version, set all recommended settings, nothing else, camera perfect till 2 photos and start crazy lag instantly after. So, how to fix? Is the "TWRP Fix" still applicable on this version/vendor?

Ok, I flashed the camera libs and it's better but first 2 shots are almost instant others takes time to make the photo still, just no crash or freeze.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] redhotiron2004:
It's amazing. Loved the night shot and playground feature. I just can't get enough of it. Using it on poco f1 with stable pie and miui 10.2.2. The only issue is that the camera or shutter takes time to take a photograph after clicking 2-3 pics. If that get resolved then this is going to become a pixel 3 mobile with added features.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Kabal LV:
I have a problem where the first picture or two shoot normally with hdr+zsl but after that, it no longer takes zsl photos until I restart the camera.

I'm on all recommended settings, latest Los 16 and latest pie firmware.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] bitye:
I had a working version what was awesome once I updated I can't get any of the old or new versions work with any of the configs on any ROMS AOSP or stock MIUI any versions with full wipe. :'(

Flashed the fix what gives me one more shot, so after third it lag and can't open tooken photos (grey Frozen screen)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ChrisIT9:
I ****ed it up

I think I accidentally broke your GCam forever by taking too many pics. The biggest issue I'm facing is that HDR+ doesn't actually do anything (which is confirmed by the fact that the HDR+ circle thingy at the top never actually fills up, which it did before this whole thing happened), unless I force HDR+ Enhanced which is slow and unnecessary most of the times. Another annoying issue is that sometimes if I zoom in and take a pic, then reset the zoom and take another one, the zoom level doesn't actually reset on the second picture. This happens the other way too, by taking a standard picture and then zooming in. Also sometimes it decides to just give up and stop taking pictures until I completely restart the app. I already tried reinstalling, wiping cache then reinstalling, rebooting my phone, deleting the app's folder both from internal memory and SD Card, but the issues still persist no matter what. Mind you that the app was working perfectly until yesterday, then I started taking a bunch of pics in a row and it decided to stop working properly. Another really weird issue I'm facing is that even if I uninstall the app and reboot the phone, and then I install the app again, it somehow remembers my settings (even the ones that are not default like "Use Google Photos" or the Saturation settings), so I'm guessing it's some kind of weird caching issue that I have no idea how to fix.

I'm on the latest Pie stable which is 10.2.2.0
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] indhimaga:
Yes me too.,. Same problem here...
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Navi44:
Reduce the number of shots taken in HDR. Its 25 right now so obviously take more time to process. Reduce it to 15 and it will be fine
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sreekantt:
That's very long :p Anyways, I'm not facing a single issue which you mentioned and most of the problems disappear by clearing cache in recovery, clearing data of the app, rebooting etc

I'm assuming you did all that, A logcat whenever a issue happens would be really helpful as very limited set of people experiencing those issues.

----

As a side note People whoever is facing more noise on the new update ? Are you guys using Pixel XL as the model ? Make sure you do because Pixel 3xl model has comparatively more noise.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sreekantt:
On the san1ty version, almost everything is preset by default except few things like Pixel 3 awb, ae etc.

What do you mean by blurry ? Any samples which you can refer ?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sreekantt:
Fun project

MGC_3.2.045

-Doesn't need Gapps.

-Portrait on objects working (Lens Blur)

-Panorama working without any weird shutter speeds.

*Set HDR+ parameters to 'Very High' if you need brighter images.

*Set 'Correction of Auto Exposure HDR+' - Increase exp. to 4

(Quality is on par with new versions with some more sharpness at the expense of noise.)

Really old version of Gcam which few people prefer as it consumes less battery but the picture quality may/may not be worse. It has got some legacy but things you won't find in new versions like lens blur(portrait) on objects.

*It's not a substitute/Update. Just another option for people who appreciate the good old days ;)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] daun20:
To be honest, Xiaomi's night mode isn't that bad at all if there's only "low light" and not full dark: https://photos.app.goo.gl/Hykuve5rkvvTJGNXA vs GCam night sight https://photos.app.goo.gl/onNJ3driLFQsm7Z37

For this special scene Xiaomi's night mode is much better (look at the snow...). But all in all I like the results of the ported GCam better than the pictures taken with stock Cam ..
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] martinsskutans:
I feel like I have missed something or am stupid :)

Can't get how this iso/shutter slider works? I enabled Savitar v5 libs, but in Camera mode it doesn't work... Does it work only in specific mode? Or what?

Can anybody help?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ahmadmurtadha:
Hello guys, i noticed that the new sanity mod version with the recommended settings gives a slightly blueish final photo compare to the Normal BSG mod with Its recommended settings. Are you guys facing the same issue? Thx.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Anik_:
It might not be in pixel phone may be due to firmware differences but only OP could tell better about this
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] YC1818:
Yes, I experience exact the same issue you had.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ChrisIT9:
Sorry about the length lmao

Anyways, I decided to just root my phone, which obviously meant wiping the data partition twice (I also unlocked the bootloader). Now, I installed GCam again, and to my surprise, even after literally wiping the data partition, it still loaded my settings from somewhere. At this point I'm gonna guess the problem is related to my SD Card somehow. I'm gonna experiment a little bit more with it and I'll keep you updated.

EDIT 1: I figured out why the settings kept being loaded automatically even after wiping the cache. It's just Google's backup thingy that saves app settings on the cloud and loads them automatically.

Every other problem however is still persisting and at this point I think I'm going to give up and live with it, maybe it'll magically get fixed with the next update or something lol

Use hdr+enhanced

---------- Post added at 02:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:51 AM ----------

Use pixel xl if want warm colors

---------- Post added at 02:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:12 AM ----------

Use hdr+enhanced it slow shutter but more fast than hdr+ if u want continues shot, use hdr+ if u want shot moving subject but cant fast continues shot (10sec or more to take other shot)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] martinsskutans:
Can You explain me this step by step, because I can't quite understand where is that exact hdr+enhanced I must use.

Thanks!
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nakul231195:
Thanks
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] masdacheri:
U need enable hdr toggle in advance settings so u can use hdr+enhanced or hdr+ on top viewfinder
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nakul231195:
I tried it but it is not working..i enabled prevent flipping for front cam.prevent flipping of front cam motion pics and double check to make sure only google camera pics are not flipped...please let me knkw what i am missing here as it is still not working for me
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] martinsskutans:
Oh, thanks!

Ok, I've enabled this, changed libs to Savitar, but still have problem - lets say, if I put 2sec/100iso phone takes picture for about 20 seconds (that progress circle is on screen for that long), but when I check picture it says 2 sec @ 100 iso...
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] masdacheri:
Yup that hdr work multi frames so 2sec/frames mybe 10 frame for 1 shot
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] chuckychux:
But funny enough I was thinking pixel 3xl would be better than pixel XL because of the name and the newness
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Kamalis:
Features

Hope you guys add the mirror feature on front camera and high image resolution on front camera. Thats my opinion, thank. Look forward for the next update.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] JJ111:
Cool, thank you very much. Finally again a version, where one don't need GApps/microg ?

And I love the picture quality. It's more natural (but also a bit darker) than with latest Version 1.4.

You think there will be more updates to this version or was it a one time only fun project?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nakul231195:
Btw it is now working for the normal front cam but not for the front potrait mode..sorry for the trouble..but is there a fix for mirror image in portrait mode?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Anik_:
Turn off the 'save to dcim/camera' option in bsg settings and then check ur image in gallery. It should work
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sreekantt:
*You can choose 'Very high' in the HDR+ settings.

Set 'Correction of Auto Exposure HDR+' - Increase exp. to 4

Brightness would be almost identical to new versions with some extra sharpness at the cost of some noise which really looks natural like you said.

On a side note, Panorama mode is also perfectly working in contrast to the new version.

I guess it doesn't need anymore work as everything is working.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] JJ111:
Very nice, thank you. One bug I noticed, is that if one takes a photo and than looks at it in the app directly and scrolls back to previous taken pictures, the last and new picture overlay/change very quickly - at least I get this flicker.

And SlowMo Videos are just normal Videos.

Just interested: could this "natural look" with more "relaxed" colors also be done in newest 6.1.021 GCam?!
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sreekantt:
Yes, with lots of trial and error by changing input models, Config and playing with saturation.

Is there any option to hide the sliders on the left and right on the latest version? (Iso and focus)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mallikarjun170:
What does it mean?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] cyanides13:
You have a 20MP sensor but it will take 4 pixels and combine it to 1 super pixel you will get a better detail on the 1 super pixel but will result in smaller MP picture. Basically 20MP divided by 4 eqials 5MP.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Born2rein@gmail.com:
Smoothing is still required and shooter button lag and other issues let others share lugs for Dev to look into
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] R46N4R0K:
This kind of picture quality would be welcome in the 6.1.021 versions. I have tried with different libs and different input models, but I couldn't figure out a setting to take such nice photo as this new-old 3.2.045.

Also the HDR+ smoothing option would be a nice option in 6.1.021 versions. With that enabled it looks like less noise.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] leax90:
When I take a picture in portrait mode with the back camera, if I edit it I can not apply the Pop effect. Is there something wrong with what I do?

Funny, that such an old Version does better pictures than the new one ;)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] thanhnvt194:
Can you share your recommended settings for this build?

in last versione 1.4 phone doesn't save night sight images.

It clicks but then only black image compares.

I tried to uninstall version, erase cache and app data, reboot phone, install newly but i didn't solve my issue.

(It seems like uninstallation doesn't go well.

When i erase cache, data, uninstall, rebbot and install again there are my previous settings .

How to erase all app data?)

The phone creates the image, i see it for 1 or 2 seconds in the little circle preview, but then it becomes black.

Old BSG version, v2bplus3, NS works well and the images are saved without any problem.

MIUI 10.2.2 stable.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] alberto88a:
Hello all, I found a small bug and it is not a big deal: from the app Contacts, if you want to change the person's picture and you decide to use the camera to take a picture and you choose the Google one (our beloved one) even if you press the shutter button, nothing happens and the picture is not saved/used. No problems with the stock cam.

Not working on my device

I have a Poco F1 device with Lineage 16.0 OS with the OpenGApps ARM 64 -> micro. I tried a lot of GoogleCamera APKs and none are working for my device. It is lagging when I just open the app, the only version which works for me "well" is the "LGN2_MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V1d.apk" and "LGW2_MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V1d.apk" BUT the Night Sight function is not working as well... it is bugging for only opening the function. I tried to fix it with the Magisk Mask "Night Lib Fix for Mi8 Google Camera" but nothing changes. Can someone help me or has the same problem?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] michalpal:
I took few indoor pictures to compare 6.1.021 v1.4 from the first post and MGC_3.2.045, both with recommended settings suggested in this thread and I have to disagree that old 3.2.045 version takes better pictures. In my case every single picture was much sharper, with less noise and better overall when taken with the new version of this app. Difference is obvious especially if you check pictures on the computer screen. Moreover, 6.1.021 version takes and saves pictures much faster. I am on stock miui 10.2.2.0 global.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] SJshah:
Excellent, updated to 10.2.2.0 today and eager to finally try this out!
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sreekantt:
People never told 3.2 was better than 6.1. We were just talking about the overall 'natural' feel.

It's just a personal taste for people and options exist. 3.2 is never here because of quality, It serves a different purpose.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] michalpal:
Random post from previous page: "Funny, that such an old Version does better pictures than the new one"

If blurry pictures with less details feel more 'natural' then ok. It may be that the old app outperforms the new one in good light conditions, however it did not convince me.

It's subjective, I like that natural look of the old version better. Of course others (like you) might like the look of the new version better.

Isn't it great, that we have such a rich choice of possibilities?

But I've noticed that the Hdr+ enhanced doesn't seem to work well with the back camera, on the front camera there is a big difference between that and Hdr+ but on the back one I can't see any, even the stock Hdr seems better, am I doing something wrong? I'm using the recommended settings btw, thanks.

I did a comparison of the libraries from Eszdman - v2 to v6 beta and google stock. All the photos were taken from Poco F1 running 9.1.18.

Used a tripod to minimize handshakes and blurs. The objects were placed in line of view of the camera lens.

For the 1st comparison which was shot in ample light in a closed room, I used night shot with exposure of 1 second. Eszdman v4 seems to be doing pretty well.

For the 2nd comparison which was in very low light, used night shot with exposure of 1 second. Here google stock and ezsdman v4 did a good job.

Gcam 6.1.021 not working fine on MIUI 10.2.2.0

Hi,

So a day before yesterday I received the OTA update for 10.2.2.0, and I was excited to use gcam's latest version (6.1.021). But there's some problem with gcam.

The click/shoot button stops functioning after a while, when I try to tap and focus. It won't let me click the pic.

When I restart the app, it works fine but only for a few seconds.

I've attached the pic, and you can clearly see the shoot button is kind of inactive (grey coloured).

I couldn't find any post reporting this same bug. So probably it's only for me? idk

Hope to get a solution here.

Thanks for your time.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] masdacheri:
In low light use manual mode on stock cam, bcoz different auto mode stock n gcam is in shutter speed on low light situation, stock cam use zsl shutter speed if auto mode so just get 1/17s slow shutter but gcam not yet work pixel zsl shutter it can be lower slowshutter 1/4 or 1/10 s its that can be effect to brighted result picture..then why gcam more better its hdr+, with hdr+ shutter speed 1/10s gcam like 1/4s stock cam,,, so gcam more sharp, bcos if use more slower shutter can get unstable picture (if phone camera not support stability OIS)
