Does the 1.3.3 version crash when you have auto HDR+ enabled (not enhanced) and it detects that it doesn't need HDR and takes a normal photo - these photos are mostly green. I'm on 1.3

Slow motion don`t work @Ayush061

Thanks for 1.3.
Slow motion crashes but motion photo works with the following settings.

Works fine, thanks!!

I had the same problem when I installed Oreo through the ota script. I reverted back to nougat and then did the oreo update through the phone.
Also, make sure you have the permissive script installed

Best Working Camera Mods and Ports - Collection

Hello,
i know that there are many Camera Ports and Mods out there and i wondered if we could put all in one Collection?
Which do you know?
-Google Camera Pixel 2 HDR+ Port
-Oneplus 5 Port
-Moto Port
I do not know much. Can you help me? Maybe with links?
Maybe we can create a threat like:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/themes/app-collection-camera-modded-t3591177
by the way, do you know if the Ports for Xiaomi mi5 above work for Redmi Note 4 (Snapdragon)?
Thank you.
i tested the oneplus camera(both the v8 and 2.0.0 version) from the link you gave and compared it with the oneplus camera from this link https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...s-5-camera-port-redmi-note-4-7-0-t3656125.The best of these 3 is the oneplus5 2.0.0 version but iso on the pro mode does not work.If you have to choose between the oneplus5, the moto g5 camera and the google camera,google camera is the best in my opinion.Also,i have a sony sensor
It depends on your camera sensor... Photo or video, And how you take photos, manual or point n shot.
Mine is omnivision, I just care about still photoshot, I never record video. Then I don't want to mess with manual mode. So, the best mod is google camera hdr+ and snap camera with LLM mode.
Do you know if we can install and use the ports from link above in my first post?
Im getting pink images on hdr on front camera alone

I installed google camera and it worked. Not perfect (Front cam and few functions do not work) but it works.
But i did not install camera2api. But i am in resurrection remix. Maybe i do not have to install it?

No need to enable camera2api or.make changes in build prop . That is required only if you using official miui . Custom roms comes by default with camera2api .
Few things don't work ?
Well.except slow motion and some artistic pictures with front cam ? all is fine ...
I am currently on v11 -N build ..didn't tried the beta builds ...

[Updated]Scrubber GCam (Portrait mode Working!!) for MIUI 9 (Android 7.0) (API 24)

Hi guys
Recently developer Scrubber (4pda) released most stable version of GCam till date. But unfortunately it requires Android 7.1+ to work with.
Which means it can't be used with any of MIUI ROM.
So here I come, I modified the APK uploaded by Scrubber to minimum api level 24(earlier 25)
Now Everything is working perfectly without any fc (except slow motion):good::good:
HDR+ & Portrait Mode working on both front and rear camera.
Note: 1. Camera2 API must be enabled. (Pls do some research)
This may help
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-4/how-to/guide-enable-camera2-api-root-t3690366
2. [Very important] If you're coming from a different GCam, you must clear app data, otherwise you may get nothing but a black screen.
Update:
Hey guys good news is here, Scrubber has updated Gcam. This time he released it separately with api level 24 support. So no need for any modifications this time by me.
Changelog: Added option for HDR+ parameters.
Tested on MIUI 9.
Download Link in second Post....

Yes, you can. then you need a custom recovery and flash a script to enable Camera2 api.
Even though you don't need to root your device, it will then no longer pass a safety net check. You will then have to flash something like Magisk, and add a safety net fix.
Alternatively, you have to convince Xiaomi to enable Camera2 api in the stock Miui rom... That may take years

Google Camera 5.x - Portrait mode and HDR+ fully working [UPDATED 2017-01-17]

First I have to say that this is not my job, I just want to keep a post updated with the latest functional version for our devices, as the other threads are not.
This app works at least on s6, s7, s8 and Note5. (Exynos an Snapdragon)
The source of the mods:
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
The original thread,where I get the info:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/themes/google-camera-hdr-t3687312
The person who made it fully functional for our devices: @miniuser123
The latest version of the app:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TLi5mt9DDlraF5ncE4SbV7lcfHpeqv4X/view?
The recommended configuration for this version:
(Leave everything by default, minus the following)
B-S-G MOD settings:
Model: Pixel XL Marlin+Taimen
Config camera HDR+: Nexus 6 hdr+ Auto
Manual fixed black level offset:
Fix black level front camera: 0.00 (Exynos S7)
Portrait Mode on all models: enabled
Developer Settings:
Camera. faceboxes: enabled
Camera. af. debug. show: disabled
Once this setting is applied, Force Close and reopen.
Possible problems:

Yeah I tried that, didn't work. I finally got it sort of working though by downloading a different version someone posted in the comments here, but while the normal camera functions worked, portrait mode still didn't, it would just crash the app when selecting portrait mode. The version from the link in the original post wouldn't work at all though.
Whenever I open slow mo mode... The app closes down!
Only 8MP rear max? Why is that?
