App not installed
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Themes, Apps, and Mods] rzki03:
did you uninstall any gcam before installing this?

if not, uninstall first, then install this gcam. App not installed occurred because maybe your gcam have different apk signature than this gcam, so the package installer won't install it.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Themes, Apps, and Mods] ChocoHR:
It was that! I forgot I installed a beta a few weeks ago.

Thanks a bunch mate!:good:
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Themes, Apps, and Mods] rzki03:
No prob ! ?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Themes, Apps, and Mods] MiM81:
Yeah, thanks for your answer. Of course I will continue to be patient with the GCam Mod :)

But just out of curiosity I would like to know from you other Mi9 SE owners if your Mi9 SE phones produce the same bug as I described?

With every video taken with the main camera with the native stock camera app, the video freezes every few seconds for a few fractions of a second, as if the recording just can't be saved fast enough to the device? This only happens with the main camera. Not with the wide-angle camera and not with the selfie camera.

That's why I hope so much that the GCam Mod will be much more powerful than the stock camera app.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Themes, Apps, and Mods] rzki03:
well, i tested it just a minute ago, and it's safe to say it's not happened on my device, it's normal, on my case
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Themes, Apps, and Mods] MiM81:
Thanks for testing it.

Okay, I guess then there's something wrong with my individual device. I thought this would be a general software problem, because for example if I select the video mode for the stock camera app (without filming, just select the mode) then the picture on the display stutters immediately. The same happens of course when filming.

If I do the same with the current GCam mod, the displayed image does not stutter.

So I think I will have to send my device in for repair, if only I have the problem. Sorry that it was off topic then. :)
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Themes, Apps, and Mods] rzki03:
it's okay. Maybe that was the software problem. Did you manage to try flash the rom from scratch? maybe that will help, because you said that was happened on stock camera app, which was the system app...
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Themes, Apps, and Mods] MiM81:
Well, I did a factory reset several times and then installed all updates for all system apps (but there was never an update for the camera).

Will I lose my warranty if I completely reflash the ROM?

When I got the phone, the first time I tried the camera app, I got two or three error messages saying that it could not connect to the camera. Since this error message disappeared afterwards and I had only photographed at first, I had not noticed the problem with the videos in the beginning.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Themes, Apps, and Mods] rzki03:
flash it with newer version and see if the problem's gone. AFAIK, you're not going to lose your warranty if you aren't unlocked the bootloader yet (i assume you are).
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Themes, Apps, and Mods] MiM81:
Okay, thx. Well, I'm gonna go do this. I honestly don't know how to do that right now, but later, when I'm near the phone, I'll pick out threads that deal with it.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tgcastro:
I tested this latest version. It worked fine, the photo really is better than the native app. The only thing that does not work is the timelapse option, the app closes when it is enabled.

Any settings recomended?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Themes, Apps, and Mods] rzki03:
You can experiment it yourself for the best settings. And timelapse mode is not working atm according to devs.

[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Themes, Apps, and Mods] OC-Freak:
Your apps are wrong ;) Yes it has 20mp front camera and in stock camera app it works fine in 20mp mode. Many other apps will fail to correctly identify the camera and/or use the full resolution.

Any news about this? Im interested into Mi9SE for Summer cause is compact but... meh.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Themes, Apps, and Mods] cassinet:
No news yet. If you're looking for a cameraphone I advise you not to buy the MI9se, the proprietary software is disappointing and the gcam mod for the moment is far from being a valid substitute. P.S. shameful battery life.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Themes, Apps, and Mods] dzidexx:
48 Mpx are in portrait mode.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Themes, Apps, and Mods] cassinet:
Yes, but in the portrait mode ( of course ) there isn't the RAW. ?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Themes, Apps, and Mods] Jairus24:
V1 just came out, flash is already working and wide angle support as well. I hope they can make the telephoto lens to work and a proper RAW support, it just weird for me that the size of the DNG is only around 10mb, I'm not use to it because on my S9+ the size of DNG output for a 12mpx is around 22mb, unless it's compressed here too much.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Themes, Apps, and Mods] Haldy:
how to use wide lens?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Themes, Apps, and Mods] Jairus24:
You can do that by tapping the button for switching the rear and front camera module in the lower left corner of the screen, they added the wide angle to that button. The cycle goes like this: Main>Front>Wide>Back to Main.

The latest GCam from BSG, V1: Link here

If you're talking about the version of my phone, I have the global version of Mi 9 SE with MIUI 10.2.2
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Themes, Apps, and Mods] MiM81:
Also for me it doesn't work to double-click the Toggle button of the camera or to switch through one after the other. The wide-angle camera simply never appears.

Generally I can't share the enthusiasm about GCam versus Stack Camera (yet). For example, I find that every time I've tested, the stock camera shoots a better night mode image than any of the GCam mods I've tested (including V1). Nevertheless, I was happy to donate some money. I still appreciate the work of the developer.

Regardless of the mod (don't read this, if you are only interested in taking photos, not videos with your Mi9 SE):

Meanwhile I've had my Mi9 SE replaced (see my other posts here in the thread) and the new Mi9 SE also has a similar annoying behavior regarding dropping frames. I also see this in the video of what someone posted here a while ago (where he walks through the garden into his shed / garage). Strange that you others don't see this :)

In particular (but not limited to this) whenever the autofocus zooms, these dropouts occur. If you deactivate the autofocus (locked), the overall video image is much smoother. But that's not really a good option. (Btw I think the auto focus is pumping ... and it's nothing good)

I don't want to put anyone in a bad mood who is already using the device. I myself will keep this device as well because in general it is a really nice phone. But I'll mention that honestly anyway for those who wrote, they don't own the device yet but to play with the thought. This issue is only with the main camera, not with wide angle mode. But IF you are interested in taking good videos, you should keep in mind that with a standard gimbal (e.g. DJI Osmo) you cannot film with the Mi9 SE in wide-angle mode without permanently seeing the gimbal. And without a wide angle ... see above.

Read this, if you are interested in taking 48 megapixel photos with your device:

By the way, 48 megapixels are completely overrated. Every mobile phone that has installed this special Sony camera chip, you have to consider as a (good) 12 megapixel mobile phone. The chip was designed to create a real 12 megapixel image from the 48 megapixels in combination with the AI chip. Just shoot a 12 megapixel picture and a 48 megapixel picture of an identical situation with the stock camera app (or Gcam Mod, if meanwhile working, I didn't test this). And then you enlarge both images to 1:1. In 99.99% of all cases there will be no difference between the 12 megapixel image and your 48 megapixel image. This is completely normal. I've taken tons of pictures where I tested this. (All with Mi9 SE 48 megapixel, 12 megapixel with AI and without it versus iPhone XS Max)

The 48 megapixel image will look like a 4x magnified 12 megapixel interpolated image. If you reduce it to 25%, it will usually look even WORSE than the native 12 megapixel photo (cause the AI didn't do it's magic).

Since I own the Mi9 SE and the iPhone XS Max, I can at least say that in extremely many tests I have made, the much cheaper Mi9 SE shoots just as good "48" megapixel images (12 in real terms) as the much more expensive iPhone XS Max. Which is cool.

Sorry, I can't see any photos in your post. (I was inactive here at xda for a long time, maybe I'm missing something).

The 48 megapixels only show to their full advantage under extremely favourable lighting conditions. I live very rural and often have the possibility to photograph distant objects (e.g. high stands, distant trees, distant buildings) and it was maybe 1 photo out of 100, where there really was an advantage regarding the level of detail at 48 megapixels versus 12 megapixels.

Because this irritated me myself, I researched the exact camera chip and you can read on many websites that this chip was NOT designed to shoot real 48 megapixels, but uses 48 megapixels of different color ranges to calculate high quality 12 megapixel images from it. Which, in my opinion, works very well.

But don't misunderstand: I also think that the Mi9 SE takes very good photos. Only the 48 megapixel hype I could not understand under my real conditions. But this concerns all mobile phones that use this chip (or almost identically constructed).

Edit: I'm sorry I can't show any photos. Due to an error on my part, I lost all my Mi9 SE images (forgot to synchronize the subfolder I had created with the MiCloud before factory reset) in the course of my device replacement.

[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Themes, Apps, and Mods] MiM81:
Interesting. I took almost identical photos a while ago. (I photographed the list of ingredients of a chewing gum box under artificial light.)

For me it was the case that on the one hand the font of the Mi9 SE 12 mpix photo was not blurrier than that of the 48 mpix photo (scaled to the same size) and on the other hand also the font of the 12 mpix picture AND the 48 mpix photo was a little bit blurrier than the font of an iPhone XS Max photo taken exactly the same way (with tripod).

This made me research what kind of chip was used in the Mi9 SE, because the iPhone has "only" 12 mpix and I wanted to know why the 12 mpix of the iPhone always produced the same sharpness (or more rarely sharper) photos as the 48 mpix of the Mi9 SE in every single attempt. And it was exactly in this context that I read what I wrote earlier (that there are no real 48 mpix with this camera sensor, but only for marketing reasons they are allowed to call it 48 mpix, because technically it is one).

I'm German, so I can't explain some things well enough in English. I think, for example, it's not really about color ranges, but about subpixelsets or something like that (I read that some weeks ago and don't remember that well).

I also find it very difficult to explain in English what I mean by "frame drops / missing frames" for video recordings with the Mi9 SE. In German you would say "starkes Ruckeln des Bildes", but if I translate that literally, I would have to write "strong / heavy JERKING images", which of course sounds very ridiculous ;)
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Themes, Apps, and Mods] Jairus24:
To save you some time, the image sensor used in Mi 9 SE is Sony IMX586, it is a real 48 megapixel sensor with 0.8 micron pixel size but the setup and how it works is quite different from the regular 12 megapixel sensor with traditional bayer filter and bigger pixel sizes. The Sony IMX586 is using quad bayer filter for pixel binning which combines 4 pixels into 1 big pixel in a 2x2 setup resulting in 12 megapixel image with 1.6 micron equivalent pixel size. In image sharpness, the sensor itself is only half of the story, you also need to consider the build and quality of the lens used.

[MENTION=7345678]Jairus24[/MENTION]

Thank you for your comments on the 48 mpix sensor. Exactly what you posted, I had read a while ago in German.

Very nice that there is now a 60 fps mode. :)

I still only have 1080p, no matter if I only select UHD 30 fps via the settings or additionally press the 30/60 fps toggle on the screen, all videos are taken in 1080p. :confused:

For 1080p the 60 fps does a better job now, keeping things noticeably smoother than before. :)

The (auto)focus is still pumping heavily, which is disturbing (at least for my eyes). But I think it's the hardware and not the GCam port. The pumping can be replicated if you film a small not very clean mirror and slowly get closer. Then the camera doesn't find a reasonable point to focus on (which is normal) and starts doing the so-called pumping (looks like a weird heartbeat effect). Which isn't that normal. Not every recent mobile phone does that. Some do much better, may be others do worse. I was just giving an example of how it's easy to replicate. Of course, this pumping happens with every new focusing, even if filming completely normal things. It's possible others won't mind.

Still, it's nice that the development of the GCam port is progressing so fast. :good:
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Themes, Apps, and Mods] dzidexx:
If you set 60 fps it will be 1080, nothing you can change.

For now, GCam development by BSG is stopped due to the buffer/RAW bug. Hope Xiaomi with news software, expecially China will fix it asap. Otherwise is a small defeat for this phone.

BSG has already done so many improvements including the 60fps in 1080p video which Xiaomi can't properly add to their own camera app, the only things that I think missing is the proper RAW support for GCam and the proper use of the telephoto lens. We'll see if Xiaomi will change or fix the camera2api support on MIUI 11 Android Q in 4th quarter of this year.

[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Themes, Apps, and Mods] Jairus24:
Here's what I use, amplify denoise and JPEG quality is up to you. I recommend amplify denoise only if you are shooting in low light. As for JPEG quality, you won't notice any difference between 97% and 100% in terms of image quality, just higher file size for 100% (I just like to maximize everything ). For HDR+ quality, put it at +1 if shooting in low light to avoid blur from hand shake but on sunny or very bright conditions, you can choose whatever you want, the higher the better image stacking. Same for night sight quality, +1 or default if hand held to avoid blur, max if using tripod.

After the 10.3.1 Global update release, EIS stabilization is still not on par with the Mi 9 or at least, the Mi 9T (with the same camera setup as Mi 9 SE except for the Sony IMX586), while Mi 9T has the same stabilization as Mi 9. EIS on Mi 9 SE is still the same as before, broken, even on 1080p 30fps with stabilization on. Maybe EIS will be fixed once the 60fps 1080p support are released for the official ROM. I don't know what's up with Xiaomi engineers and developers why they still can't implement this on the Mi 9 SE while the just released Mi 9T have working 60fps 1080p and stabilization since its release; they don't provide consistent software experience.
