Hi The Mero,

Thanks for the heads up, I'm good thank you... Just couple of those file names I've recognised from the millions (ok, not quite millions... lol) of different GCam distro's I've tried on my phone from the other site, pretty much tried them all.... The first / top one I didnt recognise, but never got round to installing it.

The Profile app, I downloaded from the Playstore... but when it asked to create an acc or user details, I simply cba with it and uninstalled it... If ya have to create an account to download an xml file it's not for me... lol

Cheers, Lister
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] :
Here to help 😊

If you look at the files on that site , all hosted on Google drive and all about 50mb in size .. definitely suspicious .. so don't do it again lol.

I tried to register on that site too and gave up , no English translation . Google translate was no help either . Still hoping we see a firmware update soon
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] :
Updated my bigkaka v9 agc , video now works at 30 & 60 fps . Slow Mo crashes the app so don't even bother trying it . Plus the focus seems to hunt a lot when shooting at 60fps , but it's fine at 30 . But at least it's working 😊
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] :
Ignore this .. double posted from the phone ..again 🤣
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] :
Just playing around with the phone and noticed something interesting .. try putting the stock camera in full HDR not auto and see the difference quality wise in darker situations . Full HDR goes overboard cleaning up the noise in good light and pix look too processed so I'd leave it on auto , but in poor light full HDR cleans up the pix nicely , much better than the fuzzy mess they were . .. or is it just me
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Lister Of Smeg:
Hi The Mero,

As you know, like me, I think between us, we've tried every g'damn version of GCam that ever exists/existed...

However, I went back to the stock camera the other day and must admit it does take some stunning shots... Admittedly, this is looking at it on the phone's screen and not downloaded onto PC yet... But pretty impressed with details and colour. I've tried several of the different settings on the stock camera, and they seem ok/fine to me.

I have recently updated the stock camera, not sure if it was via the System Update (built into OS) or via some other App Installer, as have many different Apps that can update apps. Beit different AppStores, Xiaomi Updaters, MIUI Updaters and what not... but there was a big version change from 4.3.xyz to 4.5.xyz

Jokingly aside, I saw one of the rom developers included Go-GCam in their distro, so thought Id give one of those as shot, and that produced good clean quick photos too... Might be worth looking at some of the GoGCams too. Admittedly, barely all the functionality is there, but if ya want quick simple clicker, that could be a route to explore too.

Now if I could just find a way to increase Battery life without hooking into a Nuclear reactor would be cool... ;-) :P lol. Where do I find Vo-LTE in the settings again, tried looking today during lunch but couldnt find it... (what was by typing LTE or VoLTE into search on phone and not going through the various WiFi/Network settings)

Cheers, Lister
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] BobHumphrey:
Hmmm, now my stock cam is 4.3, and I cannot find out how to update it.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] :
Right then Lister .. go into settings / SIM cards and network / tap on the SIM that your using ( if your using 2 of em so it for both ) and scroll down to make calls using WiFi at the bottom and knock it Off . Plus I've got almost 6 hours of sot after playing about with the phone since yesterday , installing , uninstalling, 2 hours of YouTube , messaging and still got 45% battery left . I wonder if yours hasn't got a duff battery ?

Yeah my stock cam is 4.3 too , no updates for it anywhere , only way I could see to update it is to use a ripped APK .. and we don't wanna be doing that do we .
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Lister Of Smeg:
Hi BobHumphrey & The Mero,

Apologies, as mentioned, I can't remember if I did it via the built in System App Updater, found under Settings... and it alerted me that there was there was an app update for the Camera... Or whether it was another App. As the System App Updater is seemless and just does it by tapping on the app. Where as the other methods requiring downloading the app and then installing afterwards.

It could be the "MIUI Downloader" where it tells you about your phone, what Android OS versions its eligible to receive (Android 13 apparently, but not for another year at least I suspect... lol). It also tells you what roms are available, what news, what apps are updatable and all that jazz... It may of been there, that I saw it... However the MUIU seems to use APKMirror as source to download from, which as mentioned I am sure the other was seemless and did it within itself. However using the MUIU it tells you what version you're on and what the latest is....

I just took a 50mp photo of my bed sheets (boy, I live in the fast lane.... lol) and I must say was impressed with the detail when zooming in... Super sharp and clear... Nowt wrong with the camera !!!

Ah thank you, it would appear I have already turned it off...? :( As just gone there, and it was off already. However the other day I noticed it said "Vo LTE" in status bar, even when I hadn't tinkered with that for a while, so it's like it's still selecting/using it. So I turned it back on, went into it and said I prefer Mobile Network over WiFi and then disabled it again... just in case it's sticking somewhere...

Oh god, I hope I don't have a flakey battery. I mean, the phone is barely a month old at moment... and I've installed various stuff on it. Guess will have to backup/wipe and re-test with basic apps. I don't think I've overloaded it with too much cr@p. Allegedly it says I've installed 90 odd apps myself... is that too much?? How many Apps do you guys have installed?

Perhaps I am expecting too much, not being realistic enough?? I'll do some tests and see how quick it is to drop like a percentage.... It just feels like within a minute or two it drops a percent, and so on... literally see the battery drain... :( I just had visions of tapping away, and see drain slowly like every 15 mins or so...

I don't know if the above pictures help at all, I don't really understand what it's saying, whether this is normal and within spec....?

Cheers, Lister
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] :
Lister I thought I was the only one that took pix of the bed clothes just to see the fine detail 😂😂😂, it works though don't it lol.

Yeah try resetting the phone and just use your normal day to day apps from the playstore and see how it goes ☺️
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] BobHumphrey:
System app updates didn't have it but Miui downloader app found it and helped me update it and all working now, thanks.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] :
lister can you post shots from the phones own battery monitor , shows what each app is using
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Lister Of Smeg:
Hi The Mero,

As requested, please find the screenshots as requested. Hope these help, and what ya after...?

Cheers, Lister
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] :
Doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary there , but I notice you have NFC and Bluetooth turned on , if ya don't need them turn em off . They can use up a lot of battery searching for connections. And have you tried running with chrome instead of smashing browser ? Just do your normal stuff for an hour or 2 on either one and see how much they're consuming . It's all trial and error really
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Sperfectaras:
@Lister Of Smeg I think your accubattery estimates are really good. 14 hours of sot and 280hours of screen off is considered bad?
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] bundy2:
This is the best camera for Redmi note 11, Thanks Notclawgenius. I Use pixelplusui Rom
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] NotClawGenius:
Im happy it worked for ya. 🥰🥰
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] BobHumphrey:
Annoyingly my Gcam is stuck taking 8MP pictures again.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] :
No sign of activity anywhere , I think everyone's given up lol
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] BobHumphrey:
lol, can't get a reply on the gcam forum either.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] :
Nothing happening on 4pda or telegram , all the usual stuff .. what is the best gcam , useless XMLs . I've got a brick wall with bigkaka , photos are coming out great but there's an orange / brownish tint that I can't get rid of at all . Been all over WB / CT tuning and can't fix it 😔
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Dayuser:
Have you tried LMC gcam?

Link to latest LMC R13 or download telegram.

Download da Gcam do modder hasli

[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] :
I think I have but I'll try it again . bigkaka v9 gives really good fine detail with the pixel 6 HDR & noise models plus spatial merging , just that damn brown tint won't go 😄
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Dayuser:
Try other HDR models like pixel 5. Sabre merge is also better than spatial.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] :
Tried other models and pixel 6 gives the best detail . The rest look too soft , and sharpening does nothing . Plus Sabre only works on Sony sensors from what I've been told , well works better if that's what they meant
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] :
Even shooting with default settings on gcam it has the tint. Shane really cause the photos look lovely . That's cropped to 4mp too . I know we're having a dry spell but it looks apocalyptic 😂
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Dayuser:
Not true. Sabre works all snadragon phones..

I mean others than sony sensors. Most of the phones does use sony sensor. This one of course use Samsung JN1
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Dayuser:
Give sample of tint with full photo. Not cropped.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] :
Yeah I've used it before , but they swore it only worked on Sony sensors . I know pixel binning can crash the app
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] :
Won't make any difference showing the full photo lol . You can see how brownish the tree looks
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Dayuser:
What AWB do you use?
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] :
I've tried every single one and they all give the same brownish look . Very very small changes but nothing worth using . I'll try again with a different model but as I said the pixel 6 HDR & noise models really gave great results , shame really
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] BobHumphrey:
I'd just like to start with a 12.5MP picture output :ROFLMAO:
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] :
What version ya using Bob , I'll guide ya through it . Should be just 2 settings ya have to change ..
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] BobHumphrey:
BGC 8.1.101, it's the most up to date "stable" version on celsozavedo
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] :
I'll download it and post screenshots of the 2 settings ya have to change to get 12.5mp photos .. 🐻 with me lol
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] BobHumphrey:
That would be awesome, thank you.

While it's not the most up to to date I am finding that that version is indeed very stable and produces a more than acceptable image for my day to day needs.

I can get better with other apps but they are not reliable.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] :
Right then I think I've got it , changed the settings and still got 8mp , then realised I had bigkaka installed too so deleted it and all works . Must have been a conflict

Anyways go into settings / modules and scroll down to change these settings..

Then go back to main settings / advanced and scroll down to change this..

And all being well that should fix it ☺️
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] BobHumphrey:
Exactly the same as you, did the changes, didn't work, removed bigkaka and it worked fine.

Thank you!
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] :
Oh yes and in advanced turn off store videos efficiently. The CPU can't handle h265 encoding by the looks of it . So you'll end up with really jerky looking video with it turned on
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] :
Woohooo another satisfied customer 😄. Right I'm off to the co op , ya need any bread or milk lol
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] BobHumphrey:
Get me 20 B&H and 6 pack of lager, your tenner is in the post! lol
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] :
a tenner ! this isn't 1986 ya know 🤣. saying that 30g of baccy is almost 17 quid
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] BobHumphrey:
Last time I bought a pack of fags they were less than a fiver!
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] :
blimey that's a few years ago lol .. ya must have been 9 or 10 years old then 😂
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] BobHumphrey:
I wish.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] rodsloco:
got some strange purple marking on back sunlight photos
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] :
right have ya tried turning on white balance or changing it to imx586 , of that fails choose a different HDR model
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] :
Still using pixel 6 HDR and noise models but changed white balance to pixel 3 and merge to saber . No more brown tint in photos .. yet . Have to wait til it gets dark to test low light quality but daylight looks pretty good . Download the first apk in the list and had to compress the AGC ( config file ) cause they still won't accept it as an extension. See what ya think 🤠

I'll upload 2 photos in a bit , one stock and one with bigkaka so you can see the difference

Bigkaka v9 .. download 1st in list
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] :
This is a pain .. first few shots everything looks great , now the tint has returned again 🤬

But ya can balance it out in Snapseed , just a wee adjustment to the white balance . I can't see any other way of correcting it in cam .. so sod it Snapseed it is 🤣
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] :
Right then , gcam Vs stock .. definitely more detail in gcam but that tint 🤬
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Dayuser:
That tint maybe comes with pixel 6 hdr or awb. Pixel 6 makes images warmer than others.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] :
Pixel 3 and 4 models all give the same result . Even using it with no noise model is the same. It's definitely a HDR problem cause when you turn it off the colours are fine
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] demajor:
Btw I flashed ricedroid rooted and installed the bigkaka V9 and loaded your config, everything is perfect aside the brown tint you spoke about, my biggest issue is the green tint on the front camera, I have tried everything with no success to rid it off, anyone else with the issue or perhaps you have a fix
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] :
Here we go again lol . Right then I think I've cracked the brown tint , altered colour settings in the white balance for the main lens , I think it's looking better . And Fixed the green tint on front camera plus setup wise camera with wb and noise models too Bigkaka v9.1. Had to zip the file again as they still won't accept the agc format as an extension 🤨

Edit ... Looking at it again it wasn't that different so I've pushed the colours a bit more and uploaded a second version ..see which on you think is best .
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] demajor:
Very nice mate, let me get to some testing I'll be back with some feedback☺️
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] :
It might be me but I don't think the night / low light photos are looking good . Mine are looking out of focus, they probably are lol

[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] demajor:
I did some testing over the past few days, the v1 and v2 both have significant loss of quality compared to the first one you shared, selfie has lost the green filter unfortunately the quality is wanting, I did go back to MTLScam 7.2 attached in this thread and combined it with the config you shared and Vilola it works🥳aside the video. video from the selfie cam is excellent, However the pictures are over processed and they seem too soft🥲.Bigkaka with the first config has more detail and is perfect to me the downside is the brownish tint and it bothers me big-time, selfies are also detailed except for the green tint I wish someone could fix that damn brown and green tint cause I have not slept in 2days trying with no avail😂💔
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] demajor:
I actually did test this one as well and I must say I love it, it works well pictures are okey just needs some little tweaking which Mero is good at, and it's fast🥳🔥Mero install this one and play with it a bit I believe you will produce a sweet spot.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] :
haha I beat ya to it D 😁

i don't know about you but ive got massive shutter lag . im talking about a good 5 or 6 seconds . plus ive played with the models but still not convinced yet . on a side note my old poco x3 upgraded to A12 yesterday , so if an old phone like that can get it we should see it soon
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] demajor:
I bet you would 😚

As soon as 12 comes I think things will come out😛I can't wait meanwhile do your magic on that cam
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] :
Haha .. just realised it was shamins latest version that had the shutter lag , I'll give BSG a go now 😁
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Lister Of Smeg:
Hi All,

Not tested it myself yet, not had time, but noticed there was a huge update via BK today.... I know some people like this distro... I think I had issues last time I used an older build...

BigKaka: AGC8.4.300_V9.2_fix2

Download AGC8.4.300_V9.2_fix2 by BigKaka.

www.celsoazevedo.com

I quite like the BSG builds personally, although the latest glitched for me the other day and FC'd...

I've actually gone back to stock for most shots at moment, not great, but its reliable...

Lister
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] :
Well so far I think v9.2 is lookin worse than 9.1 . Same settings and pix look softer and the brown tint is back again 😔

Still on the plus side there's a new BSG out . Very fast shooting in HDR+ ( I'd say it's got a low frame count ) , pix are usable if a tad soft . Not a lot to configure , best HDR model to use looks like the pixel 3 .Haven't tried night mode yet but if it looks ok I'll stick to it for now ☺️
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] demajor:
BSG 8.6 you mean? If yes please send me your config🙏
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] :
I didn't like the results so back to square one again
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Lister Of Smeg:
Hi All,

I've temporarily stopped looking for a GCAM at the moment, until something better/stable comes along... I've resorted to the latest Stock Camera as I feel that produces very good shorts, especially if tweaked with Snapseed afterwards.... stunning to say the least.

However, whilst looking around at other random apps, came across this thread... One of the posters has the same phone as us, and is looking for that holy grail GCAM. Worth keeping an eye on... ;-)

Cheers, Lister
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] :
i dont think any version can turn that pigs ear of a sensor into a silk purse , i mean between us we've tried every version lol.

ive also been playing with an older version from urynx .. GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.6.apk

video dont work but thats no great loss . ill upload 2 configs in a bit . one with noise control and one without , one without has more noise of course but more natural looking detail.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] :
Well urynx was a bust,loads of banding in blank areas . But I've tried the latest Xiaomi camera app and it does look better than stock,even if the video still looks crap . That's down to the image stabilization I bet , wish they had a toggle for it
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Dayuser:
Best and heavy used gcam versions these days is based on google camera 8.1, 8.2.204, 8.4.300 and 8.4.400

These is no point to use 7.X versions if your phone is running Android 10 or newer version.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] :
best versions for other phones maybe :LOL:
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] hawkyy84:
Hello,

Until now I had a Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 with Parrot043 version 7.3.020.296349306 V8 and the quality was excellent.

I take a lot of photos of people, and I judge the quality by how detailed a camera shows a face, especially how accurately individual hairs are visible.

Now I've switched to the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 and I'm very disappointed.

The only camera-app that comes close to the quality is the MTSL 7.2, but this camera is extremely slow in processing photos and you can't take photos one after the other.

It is very frustrating, I have now tried almost all (known) GCams and the cams show the quality as in the picture on the left side, see link below.

Unfortunately the developer option to Parrot043 version 7.3.020... is not disclosed, so I don't know the settings, and Version 7.3.020 does not work with Note 11, and also the latest Parrot043 version makes blurry pictures.

What are your experiences?

[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] :
Hopefully with the Samsung sensor appearing in more budget phones we'll see more people finding " the best version " , but I still think the sensors a pile of crap
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Lister Of Smeg:
Hi Guys,

I must say the latest version of BSG 8.6 seems to be very stable so far, been tinkering with it since downloading last night and so far not crashed under any settings/tweaks. Not had chance to do any real photography tests yet, as it was nighttime/dark where I was. So tested Night Mode / Astro Mode, and gotta say they were quick at processing and came out relatively good for NO LIGHT SOURCE at all... They didn't suffer the green-ish AW bug either, didn't have to enable it either.

Oh and video seemed good too, used a flash whilst filming and then watched back and seemed stable....

So now to do some daytime tests later in the day, when get chance... have family round most of it though... lol

BSG: MGC_8.6.263_A11_V3

** Things I'd like to try/find out, but couldn't during limited trial at night **

1) How to enable the other lense (I think Macro isn't getting picked up...)

2) How to enable/change the Video Stablizer, under previous builds you could select the type of Stablizer. This one just gives generic...

Cheers, Lister
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] :
Ohhh let me try let me try lol . I was just gonna download the parrot version mentioned in the other thread, now I'll try both . Take some pix of the family and if they complain say it's for research purposes 😂

Update .. parrot won't even install , but latest BSG ain't looking too bad , fast processing as Lister said . Colours look pretty good too . Pix still look a bit soft for me but Snapseed can sharpen em a bit . And the video looks pretty good too , no focus hunting or smearing like stock camera . Now if it shoots ok in the dark it's a keeper for now . Thanks lister☺️
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] :
2 pix with the latest BSG.. 1st is stock and 2nd gcam , I think gcam still looks a bit soft but hopefully he'll add libpatcher to a future release then we can tinker a bit more .
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Dayuser:
I don't think he will add libpatcher in any versions for a long time.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] :
Doesn't 8.1 have it or am I thinking of another mod . Anyway can add a little sharpening in Snapseed . Also there's very little difference between models detail wise so I just left it on pixel 4.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Dayuser:
Yes bsg 8.1 mod has libpatcher
