EDIT: A lot has happened on GCam scene since the opening post, that's why it needs to be reviewed. Now we have much more GCams working well on mido, even with Omnivision sensor, including mods based on GCam 6, 7 and 8. Anybody interested in getting support is invited on the Telegram group:

https://t.me/rn4xphotography

I'm active there and with some friends we are trying to provide support for mido users. We have a channel as well, when we store tested GCams for all three sensor users:

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Afri92:
Thanks bro works fine on AEX Pie, any update?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Lord Sithek:
Do you use v3 now? I uploaded v4 and v5 recently along with updated xml
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Afri92:
I use v5 and config v4, did we cant turn off hdr+?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Lord Sithek:
If you activated HDR+ toggle in settings, the option should appear on the upper panel on the main screen and you should be able to turn it off. If the toggle in settings is turned off, the HDR+ is constantly active
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Afri92:
Now i use v4 with configs v4, got some bug and force close use v5 with configs v4.

Also i think sometime picture take the colour like more warm or abit reddish, u know about this?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Lord Sithek:
Yea, the cam is not perfect, that's because of omnivision sensor, I belive, which is problematic... I'm getting purple hint somteimes in low light conditions and night sight. You can try to tweak Auto White Balance, Base and some other options to see if it would help. But I'm not able to get rid of this hint totally. At least this GCam mod is really stable and takes beautiful pics in good light condition :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Lord Sithek:
I uploaded newest HyperCam version (vs 6) along with xml prepared for it. Give it a try and enjoy :highfive:

EDIT: Probable night sight crashes on omni sensor unfortunately... ?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Afri92:
I just download and install without uninstall old one v4, also without load any configs after install v6. For now havent get any crash, will see later..
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Lord Sithek:
Good for you ;) Sometimes I'm getting crash while processing HDR on Night Sight. It hasn't happened until v6, but still acceptable performance.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Afri92:
Update :p got some bug, now i try reinstall v6 also use configs v6, to be continue.....
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] pre.r:
hi,how can i find what sort of sensor i have ?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Lord Sithek:
You can install this e.g.:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.andr7e.deviceinfohw

imx=sony

ov=omnivision

and there is Samsung sensor also, I don't remember what shortcut :D
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Lord Sithek:
Deleted
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] pre.r:
thnx,i have the samsung sensors
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Lord Sithek:
New version of HyperCam released and cfv version prepared. Changelog from the dev:

Change log of E1:-

LibPatcher for Aux Lenses (Noise and Sharpness Control if available on your Device)

* New AWB Camera Keys (OV12A10, OV13880 and GM1. Pixel 4 disabled for now due to compatibility errors) Credits: Arnova for the Code and Wyroczen for the implementation.

* Added Samsung API2 (Live HDR, ISO Max and Min Control, f2.4 and 1.5 Lens Aperture Switch and Photometry)

* Code cleaning out of use.

I didn't test it yet ;)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Afri92:
Any configs xml for E1?

My back cam is ov13855_qtech
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Lord Sithek:
So do mine... I loaded xml for V6 as the base and I'm going to try new AWB settings for ov sensor, I just didn't have time yet and poor weather in my location :rolleyes:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Lord Sithek:
I did some comparison of all auto white-balance settings in new HyperCam E1. As the base I used Naazish's xml v6, just changed photo ratio and turned on manual focus and AWB Gains mod. I took some shots in the evening inside my room and then during the day outside. Just remind I have omnivision sensor. On my Google Drive account I placed a folder with pictures for you to compare (i wrote down AWB setting used in top-right corner of every picture).

My personal observation is that in the dark conditions with artificial lights Pixel 3 gives the best results. Pixel 2 and OV13880 not bad too. IMX is overly warm, OV12A10 - too pale, Pixel 2, GM1 and Off - too pale plus purple hue. In the daylight, Off and GM1 gives best color rendering and vividness. IMX much too pale, Pixel 2, OV13880 and OV12A10 - average, Pixel 3 - bit better.

So for me there is no one best awb setting. Pixel 3 seems to be most universal, but since I take most pictures in daylight, I'll probably stay with Off most of the time.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Afri92:
Thank you bro, i was try in daylight same with you and yup Off is the best :good:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] PythonHD:
Thank you ?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Lord Sithek:
:) I uploaded xml's for E1 version from some users, still in the test phase
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Lord Sithek:
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1-Q4IDDWvOdQASC4h6d1mXGGntBuFBony

Hello everybody. I did some cleaning on my GDrive folder and uploaded a new stuff.

I uploaded HyperCam E1 version with additional libs included (called Naazzz libs). These libs should improve visibility of the details in the dark areas of the photo (unfortunately, on Omnivision sensor the difference will probably be less visible than on Samsung and Sony sensors).

Additionally, I uploaded several configs in xml files and sample pictures (taken with HyperCam E1 + Naazzz libs, in daylight - with HDR+ Enhanced, in the night - with Night Sight). You can test it yourself :) (warning: so-called "TrueColors" config doesn't give true colors at all :D).

Enjoy!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Afri92:
Nice bro, :good:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] cevi:
I'm getting "Error parsing the package" while trying to install the APK. Any idea?

Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X (Snapdragon) -Magisk Rooted

Thanks.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Lord Sithek:
Do you have any other GCam mod installed? If so, try to clear data and uninstall, then try to install HyperCam. Maybe will help
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] cevi:
I don't. I've just made a fresh install on my device and tried this from scratch. I think older version of gcam might solve the problem.

Any other idea?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Lord Sithek:
Hmm... Weird, no problem with installstion here... Maybe downloaded file is corrupted. Try to download it once again
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Lord Sithek:
One more thing that cross my mind... What ROM do you have?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] cevi:
Tried, same. :(

---------- Post added at 06:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:13 PM ----------

MIUI 11 Stock ROM.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Lord Sithek:
Aaah. Here is the culprit. Google Camera requires camera2api framework enabled, which as far as I know isn't enabled on MIUI stock ROMs. And I'm not sure if it can be enabled manually... You can search some info in the web. But if it can't, you would have to change ROM in order to use any GCam mod. A MIUI port for mido or AOSP-based ROM.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] cevi:
Already enabled by adding two lines in the build.prop file.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Lord Sithek:
I give up, I don't know what else might cause this problem :rolleyes: Nobody else here or on Telegram reported such issue, and I installed the app without any problem too. I deleted the file from GDrive and uploaded once again (in case that the former apk was corrupted) along with E2 CFV version, which was released meantime (at the moment without modded Naazzz's libs). I left HyperCam V6 CFV on my drive too, try them all, maybe one of them will work for you
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Noter2017:
That won't help you. GCam doesn't work on MIUI 10 or MIUI 11. Xiaomi disabled it on purpose, so that you will have to buy a new phone.

Stop using MIUI and be happy
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Lord Sithek:
Haha, I knew that something is wrong with MIUI ? Fortunately I switched to AOSiP ;)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] cevi:
Nope none of them work. I remember when I was on MIUI 10 I've managed to install one old version of gcam and that one too was buggy.

I've tried Lineage OS few days ago but day after the installation started throwing errors with the pixel launncher. What ROM (and kernel) do you currently use on which gcam works nice?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Noter2017:
AOSiP as well. Comes from a well known developer, monthly updates and super stable.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Lord Sithek:
Precisely I use latest AOSiP DerpFest from Smokey (MOD EDIT: Link Removed) with Ethereal kernel (https://xdaforums.com/redmi-note-4/...el-ethereal-kernel-redmi-note-4-t3869237/amp/) and all HyperCam CFV versions work fine. Not perfectly maybe (rare crashes on Night Sight), but definitely it is most stable GCam 6 mod for mido (especially with Omnivision sensor).
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] cevi:
Thanks guys, I've finally got it working. It's night here so I'll try it tomorrow under daylight. I had problems while installing the AOSIP ROM with the fingerprint sensor not working and installing the mentioned Kernel. I've fixed the fingerprint but couldn't managed to install the kernel. Whenever I flash it through twrp the phone stuck on the boot animation. It's working fine with the stock one anyway.

Thanks again. :good:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Lord Sithek:
HyperCam E2 CFV with modded Naazzz libs uploaded to the drive. I added some new xml's too.

Meantime HyperCam team released HyperCam S version, but it's been built on different base and doesn't work with Omnivision sensor. But reported to be working with Samsung and Sony. For further details check Telegram groups under the links in the OP.

So probably E2 is the last mod I uploaded...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Lord Sithek:
Hey hey, good news guys! HyperCam E3 CFV version released and uploaded to my GDrive :D It contains new functionalities from S version and works with Omnivision sensor. I'm uploading two new xml configs prepared by Naazzz and K M users, shared by them on Telegram. Reportedly the S version will be discontinued since E series contains all features now. Enjoy!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] T3sla:
Gcam version still 6.1?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] cevi:
Yes.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Lord Sithek:
Yea, sun crash fix works only with 6.1 base, so we are bound to it... Until some GCam 7 mod stable for mido will be released... Maybe... There are few working with ov already, but aren't stable unfortunately
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] kiodo1981:
Which versione for android Q (havoc)?

Thanks.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Lord Sithek:
There is E2 version prepared for Q, I'll upload it on my GDrive and you can try it
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] T3sla:
Can you give a little more info about the configs, which one is for night shots etc.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Lord Sithek:
Hmm... Please remember that I am not a maker of those xml configs, and I'm not as skillful in tweaking GCam configs as some other users... So I can just share my personal impressions.

I think that Naazzz xml has good balance overall. It gives quite realistic colors both in daylight and with the Night Sight, especially good details in the shadows. I'd like it to be little bit more bright, so for my personal usage I increased exposure compensation a little bit. QD xml on the other hand is brighter and renders colors very well, but unfortunately it gives me dots pattern on the bright parts of the photo, eg. on the sky (it may be involved with noise reduction settings, but I'm not sure yet). And it reveals less details in low light conditions than Naazzz xml.

Sincerely, I'm constantly testing and tweaking configs in order to find something that would suite my needs best. I'm in contact with other users and xml makers in Telegram. I think to a large degree it is the matter of personal taste and feel. I always recommend to play with the configs yourself, but those xml I upload are good base to start the adventure :D
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Lord Sithek:
Hey. I decided to upload my own xml config to the GDrive. It is based od Naazzz xml, since I find it well-balanced overall and it gives me less or no dot pattern on bright parts of the photo (I've been fighting it for a long time). I've changed some values for better fitting my preferences. I increased brightness, sharpness and main cam saturation, trying to keep the naturalness as well. Also I changed ratio and some other minor things. I've tested the config under different conditions and in my opinion, generally it's working quite fine. But of course, it is not possible for one config to be working best for all conditions...

I'm sharing this for Omnivision users, if it will help somebody, I'll be glad :) Please do not criticize this config since everyone has its own preferences. Besides I'm constantly searching for better quality and at some point I can conclude that I have to change something in the settings. It would be ideal to prepare separate config for all types of conditions - daylight outdoors, daylight indoors, night sight outdoors, night sight indoors... etc ;) But who has the time for this...

And definitely I don't consider myself to be an expert :) So feel free to share your ideas on what could be improved. I'll try to help too if needed and if I'll be able to.

Cheers!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] T3sla:
I found Naazzz's settings better than QD in general, also QD gave me crashes on low light conditions on LOS Adv pie.It's a bit outdated build so not sure if it's rom related or something else.If i find time i will test your settings and report.Thanks!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Lord Sithek:
:) I also uploaded another xml prepared by one of the more experienced users from Telegram, but he has Samsung sensor. I find it very good for low light especially, but I'm getting dots in daylight unfortunately
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] groovepeppy:
Do i need the xml on android 10?

Edit: nevermind, i use Naazzz's, kinda like it

Thank you
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Lord Sithek:
I just installed Android 10 and I see that xmls work the same way as on Pie. Generally xmls are not neccesary - they are just preset configs prepeared by somebody, but can be useful as a base to make further adjustments according your preferences ;)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] groovepeppy:
I see, big thanks for your infos ?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Lord Sithek:
Hello, I uploaded two additional cams on my drive. First is the Nokia Cam for mido, which allows to record slow motion and time lapse. Second is latest trCamera based on GCam 7.2. I am still testing it, but it seems to work fine even with Omnivision sensor. Maybe somebody will find this useful ;)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zasnizas:
Thanks for sharing. Any major bug that you have found on Gcam 7.2 so far?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Lord Sithek:
Slow motion freezes the camera (not crashes instantly, this is some improvement :D), but time lapse seems to be working nicely. Some users are getting pink hue from the front cam, I haven't noticed that, but the pics from the front are grainy. On the other hand, I'm able to take really nice shots with the main camera, just need to calibrate it more, I'm still looking for better config

I'll try, when I find some free time and the weather allows me to :D
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Lord Sithek:
Hey everyone. Latest HyperCam and trCam versions uploaded on GDrive as well as xml config files. Cleanup of the OP also made :)

Note: trCam V2 is not official (was withdrawn soon after releasing), but it's working and it has some features absent in other versions. Feel free to try whatever suits you :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Lord Sithek:
Hello everyone. Some cleanup on the GDrive again. HyperCam based on GCam 6 got a final version and won't be updated anymore. I uploaded Pie and Q versions. All previous xmls should work fine with those. Just some minor things have changed and maybe one more feature added. I uploaded QD xmls for day and night, to use them you need to extract gamma files in Lib.zip file to Internal Storage > GCam > Lib folder.

Additionally, I uploaded two xmls for trCam 1.5 - day and night version. They've been prepeared by me and my colleague from Telegram group. Feel free to test and give suggestions. This is the cam I use the most nowadays. Fast processing and stable. Maybe the interface lags a bit, but you can live with this ?

There is trCamera V2 released already. The base was moved to Urnyx and done some refinements. Officially it doesn't support mido, although I'm able to install it and even taking pictures, but it isn't usable still, giving crashes. Once we get a version working stable for mido and omnivision sensor, I'll upload it on my drive.

Other stuff you can currently find there:

1) MGC Parrot043 v3: based on GCam 7.2. Smooth and stable mod, with some tweaking you can get nice results with the main cam (default settings very flat), but night sight is a mess. I uploaded my config as well, I've tried to get as much as possible from this, you can give it a try. Just xmls are stored in a different location: Internal Storage > GoogleCamera > ConfigsCamera7.2

Parrot 7.3-based is under development, I'm waiting for an update.

2) GCam 7.2 for Nokia by marlin_ku, working stable for mido. Doesn't support xmls so far, does not have LibPatcher too, but gives pretty decent photos in all scenarios.

3) hmdcamera: This is Nokia Cam adapted for mido. Slow Motion, Time Lapse and motion pictures working :highfive:

4) 3 different MIUI Camera ports, working (most probably) on Pie only. Photos quality rather poor, but manual mode, Slow Motion and Time Lapse working.

5) E-Aperture app for shooting floating clouds, flowing water etc. I haven't tested it yet, but install and see the tutorial inside the app, you'll get what it is about ?

6) Light Painting app for shooting lights moving. Not tested too, but looks promising ? I think it is something similar like light trails feature in GCam (trCam offers this as well)

Enjoy!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Afri92:
Thanks for update bro,

Can u help me with trcamera, the app always force close when i change to 'time lapse'.

First I on AEX pie now switch to AOSiP pie with ethereal kernel but still same. For configs I use vian-sith.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Lord Sithek:
Unfortunately Time Lapse never worked in trCam... I don't know any gcam port for mido with time lapse working. For this purpose you can use Nokia Cam or Snapdragon cam (I uploaded snapcam to my drive too).
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] hopyamanipopcrn:
Help

So Yesterday i took the risk and rooted my phone and turns out i cannot install gcam bec im on miui 11. Are there any cameras that can work on my rooted phone? Or i just rooted for nothing? :(

I downloaded camera2api probe

It says ✔️ LEGACY
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Lord Sithek:
Unfortunately on stock MIUI it is not possible to run Google Camera, even with camera2api enabled :( If you are willing to play a little bit more and install custom rom or MIUI port from some other device, you'll be able to enjoy nice cameras :D
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Lord Sithek:
By the way, guys, I uploaded new stuff to my drive:

1) onfire v3 cam based on GCam 7. Added Alice libs, which give vivid colors rendering. Very good in daylight, not bad in night sight, but I can't get good results with selfies :rolleyes: I added my configs to try.

2) trCamera 1.2. Actually, recently I use this cam the most. In my opinion it gives best results in daylight from back cam among all GCams I've tried so far. Selfies are bit grainy, but decent too. Night sight mediocre. You can test my config too.

3) HyperCam Raizen for Pie and Q. This is new version of HyperCam released by new maintainer. Settings are rearranged, but basically are the same as in previous version. But new libs are added and the interface seems to be smoother and faster than before. I use it for selfies and night sight, I shared a confing (not mine) which works really good for me.

Enjoy! :highfive:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] hopyamanipopcrn:
?????? Hahaha rip, i dont wanna mess up with roms, what else fun features i can add while being rooted? I only know game guardian and lucky patcher ???
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Lord Sithek:
Huh. Using GCam is sufficient reason for me to root and change ROM ? But there are many others. What I love the most are Adaway and Xposed Framework :D Besides, when deciding to change rom, you can enjoy many fancy features of Android 9 or even 10 (yeah, there are many Q roms available for mido right now ;)) The procedure isn't that much complicated. And you can always go back to stock if it won't meet your expectations :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Lord Sithek:
Hello everybody. New Parrot version uploaded! :victory: Based on GCam 7.3. Seems to be very stable (aslo for Omnivision) and of good quality - for normal shot, selfies as well as night sight. Unfortunately, it doesnt support xml configs yet. But the dev releases betas frequently, threre is a hope then he'll add it in the future :D Cheers!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Afri92:
Thanks bro..really" nice now Time Lapse working:victory::victory:, now just need wait for support xml configs:laugh:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Lord Sithek:
I didn't even test Time Lapse, good to know :laugh:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mcheraghimn:
It is indeed a very stable version (and fast!), but it is still a little behind in terms of quality compared to what Raizen offers when using Naazzz xml file.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] tedony:
help me - im on havoc 3.4 os rom - give me a suggestion about camera - im confused
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Lord Sithek:
HyperCam Raizen (GCam 6) or Parrot (GCam 7) are best you can currently find for mido. Also you can try The Dise 4.5, trCam 1.2 or 1.5 or Onfire v3
