MI 5s camera mods [Updated: 1st Feb 2018]

Hi all..
This is a fix for the broken implementation of camera 2 API on our device.
This will allow us to finally shoot up to 32 sec raw image in camera 2 API and also enables up to 100k ISO...
Much love and respect to @defcomg for fixing this for us, he is an amazing dev and if you would like to donate to him you can hit this link!
NOTE:
This mod will probably only work on Lineage and 7.1.1+ ROMs. I've tested it on latest RR (16 June) and it works.
Don't flash on MIUI ROMs, I haven't and probably won't test it, but feel free if you are brave :laugh:
Make a backup (TWRP). Or if anything goes wrong just reflash ROM, it'll fix your problem.
I take no responsibility for brick or boot-loop...
LINK:
V1 - Initial [LOS/RR etc..]
V1 - Test (I need someone to tell me if this works) [Miui N ROMs]
V2 - Nightmode profiles [11 December]
V3 - Oreo Libs [1st Feb]
For future versions I would like to try to add longer exposure times as well as fix pixel binning for better low light shots!
Edit:
16 June: There is a delay when shooting long exposure, for example when selecting 32 sec, the shutter button will be pressed for like 32sec x 2 = +-64 secs, don't know why but anyways it only shoots for first 32 seconds, so just be aware of that..
19 June: Fixed Miui N test lib link
11 Aug: Nightmode coming soon, this will allow longer shutter speeds, essentially up to about 5 mins
Also all apps should be able to take advantage of this.
11 Dec:
Added libmm shutter extension and pixel binning.. The respective number (3, 9, max [14]) multiplies the shutter by that amount, meaning if you have an app that normally can only capture up to 1/17 shutter, and use 3x lib it will now use 3/17 shutter (almost 0.2 sec), this affects all video and photo apps, you can restore it by replacing original file..
Oreo has a busted HAL so shutter on manual only hits about 4 sec without breaking, using max libmm mod you can get about 1 min shutter I think, in nougat using fixed cam 2 libs, you can get about 7 min shutter time.
Pixel binning is somewhat working, it has a dark preview, and I don't know why, but when you shoot in raw, you will see the file is much brighter with less noise, but at lower res.
Place the file in /system/vendor/lib then reboot the device
NOTE: The HAL fix from above (V1) will not work on Oreo since it's using a new HAL, so don't use that, if you don't know or are unsure..
1st Feb 2018: Patched Oreo libs to allow long exposure. Added libmm multiplication hacks.
Gonna be away till like mid Jan, so might not be able to answer questions..

Good work ?

Can the default snap camera take advantage of this api2 or another camera app has to be used?

Could he fix the Google camera force close when change to front camera, thanks

I use snap camera for front camera, no problem there, I don't know how to fix Google camera errors..
With regards to slow motion, 120 FPS should be working on FreeDcam

I'm on miui 7.6.15 xiaomi.eu build(android n)....ive flashed your patch via twrp....and really nothing happened....camera still working like before....no new mods in there....like its really for aosp...can confirm that its dont break your camera in miui...but also its doing nothing in miui....in my opinion

You don't happen to have samples of stock camera vs freedcam?

I don't use stock camera, I use FreeDcam raw mode, and when I shoot jpeg, I shoot with denoise off. So with stock you will see less noise in images, but freeDcam will have much more details

Check the OP, all this mod does is enable 32 sec shutter on Cam2 api and adds ISO 100k. It doesn't add quality/features or mods to the camera..

FreeDcam app specially for Mi 5s

Is it possible to enable iso lower than 100? Or maybe it's pointless because it's achieved by software, and the quality will be worse than 100? So can we conclude that lineage (or some other) roms are better than MIUI? I'm thinking moving to these roms.
By the way, it seems that the link on the first post was incorrect (miui one), the later ones are working though.
---------- Post added at 08:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 PM ----------
I'm on miui 7.6.15 xiaomi.eu , got upto 8714 iso with snap camera. Stock remains 3200. Still 16 bit raw Still 1/3 s shutter with 3rd party camera apps, though I heard someone already has shutter longer than 1s with 3rd apps. I don't remember have flashed any other patches especially related to cameras
With los, Lightroom could have shutter 1s, but iso up to 100k, I don't know if it really works, as it's white paper after 10k anyway.

isnt it possible to use Pixel libs?

Installing N version on miui eu 7.6.15, nothing new here, camera menu just like before...no 32 second RAW, no iso 100k

Is it able to perform as good as the stock camera of RN5P? I mean the portrait mode (front n back) works fine or not?
I tried the BSGod of Gcam on RR rom. But i finally came to the conclusion that stock camera is the best for this phone. It takes pictures in super sharp quality, Gcam was not working as good as this one. Also the shutter speed was too low in GCam

Let's get something out of the way, MIUI stock camera does not have better image quality than GCam, nor it ever will (at least on this device).
HDR+ on your GCam either didn't work, or you didn't set it up properly, because there are a few settings which have to be changed.

HDR+ worked on my device but it took a lot of time. After clicking the picture took arnd hlf a second at first, and then again a few seconds to process the HDR+.also during videos, there was a lot of issue in exposure and it didn't had time lapse too.Also the selfies taken by miui camera were better as compared to Gcam(i think thats coz it recognises it only as 5mp)
Portrait mode only worked with humans unlike miui camera which worked with anything
That's why i thought miui cam is better. Is there any way to fix it? Note: I tried the BSG mod

Well first of all, my reply was about picture quality of HDR+ vs MIUI HDR(On/Off/Auto) or HHT you name it. In that regard there is no point comparing the two, as computational photography prowess of Google Camera is just ahead in every way.
And as for the other, I don't remember whose GCam I used that had working portrait mode on objects, but it really did work, try out different versions. Even though it's just 5mp, the processing is better, you must have had a malfunctioning app. Also no issues with video exposure here (just missing the 60fps) and the HDR+ processing was a bit slow only in low light).
I am using BSG mod right now, specifically MGC_5.2.022_FINAL_1.0.apk and here are my settings. You can try out Arnova's v7.9.9 I used that one too.

Daily driver Gcam for whyred!!!

I had installed pixel experience rom on my whyred and was wondering to get fully stable Gcam on it to get complete pixel rom on my whyred,then tried with BSG's gcam but it offers limited features so I turned to find a stable Gcam with almost all features and came across this Gcam mod : MGC_5.3.015_v.1.0.5_Tolyan009.
It can be used as daily driver as it almost fully stable.
What's Working in it.
1.Slow mo.
2.Portrait.
3.Google lens.
4.Video at 1080p 60 fps
<auto focus working with video stabilization>
5.photo sphere.
6.panorama.
Problems with this:
1.lens blur is bit choppy and is advised not to use it.
2.Run and use this as it is with default settings change in settings may results in app blunders.
3.there is 4k uhd option but it's not working.
THIS MOD IS TESTED ONLY ON PIXEL EXPERIENCE ROM.
YOU CAN USE ON MIUI BUT I AM NOT SURE IF IT WORKS.

For this to work make Gcam as default camera app.
Everything is working fine in my phone after making it default app and disabling snapdragon camera app.
If it still not works try clearing data and rebooting phone.

Like in stock camera, selfies look like when you are about to click the picture.
But one problem I found in all gcam apps is after clicking the picture, selfies don't look like just before clicking. They are flipped sideways.

On lineage front camera works

I just tried this with the new RR 7 (RR-P-v7.0.0-20190203-whyred-Official) and it works fine.
⌐At first the images were monochrome for some reason, switched config HDR+ to pixel 1 and the images came out normal and with HDR+. Turning it back to pixel 2 after a while
and magically nothing changed. Images were still in color.
⌐There are a few random bugs like the ones in OP and some others like there being 2 lens blur mode options.

we don't have this update on the stable pie

Thanks been waiting for this, didnt want to update to beta 6 just for the camera..

Does this run fine on Oreo or does it require Pie?

Try it. Not sure if it checks the SDK number or not. Worst that happen is you remove it and restore the camera backup you should make before removing old and installing new camera apk

Be aware that while it does install in stable 9.0 OOS, the nightscape thing doesn't do anything to the final photo (already did comparisons). I've read reports of it working on OB6 so stable users have to wait for an update.

It freezes the camera app for me. Uninstalled.

New stable OOS is out. Thats inside now.

Do we have to use with flash?

I'm having some issues with the new camera on 9.0.2. The night mode actually looks worse because it seems to apply a weird oil painting effect and it blurs out details. Aside from that the portrait mode edge detection and blur quality is absolutely garbage. There is no way to change the "beauty" filter now apparently (the slider for it was removed?). And I can't get the studio lighting feature to work.
Can anyone help?

Night mode is what it is and can be further improved, it's just software. About beauty mode, yes the slider is still there. If it isn't for you try to clean flash. Studio Lightning is, from what I've read, something that happens automatically for portrait pictures, meaning it isn't a mode/slider/option.

Are you sure the beauty mode slider is still there for rear camera? I have it for front facing camera, but for rear camera it's just "on-off". I tried wiping cache and data of the camera app but that did nothing to help.

You never specified which camera you were talking about so how would I be sure? The answer is no in that case. Slider isn't there but then again, if this is a feature request or a missing feature report, you should post that information in the official stable thread for OOS.

Lowlight vs preset. (Updated)
*•*photo 1. standard auto hdr.
*•*photo 2. iso :2000 shutter at 0.4 with manual wb at 4200+/-
*•*photo 3. iso : 400 shutter at 5 and wb at 4060k.
*•*photo 4. iso : 1600 shutter at 8 and wb at 4060k (extreme low light conditions)
Tripod used : Tripod was used for shot 3 and 4, I used a $5 one with a $1 phone mount. Something an everyday consumer would be able to get.
*Update*
(salt attack prevention)
added shot for gcam too.
Gcambuild: GoogleCamera_6.1.013.216795316-debug2.apk
Onepluscam: 2.10.5
OOS : 9.0.1
Rooted.
*Update 2*
Added* Extreme low light conditions test shots.
Comments:
obviously leaving the shutter open draws in more light but it also captures more yellow. so i just manually tune that and save it as a preset. because night photos usually need to be cooled. I tried to use as low iso as possible in the settings to try reduce any unnecessary noise caused by high iso.
photo 2's settings are nice if you dont have tripod. as you can see the noise is significantly decreased and has way better sharpness. but still kept relatively the same exposure.
then for settings of the 3rd photo are my favorite. you need a tripod. but i mean it cames out amazing. even beats low light mode.
The 4th photo and settings are for extreme low light conditions and you'll need a tripod too.

You are saying this. I am thankfull that it is working properly. All the mods which i tried previously were all crashing they were messing with my settings. Every time when i was installing those mods i had to uninstall them because there were some features which were not working then and then restart my device every time. Now i can say hdr is working that was the biggest problem in kirin devices that hdr was not processing. Now only this little blue tint is the issue....
Some one has to work for it now @Urnyx05 my friend this gcam is working now on my honor play without crashing. Every hdr is now processing. i will mention the link below so that u can try it on honor 8 pro and do the settings mentioned above this post...
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/MGC_6.1.013_MiMAX2_V1b_A8.1+.apk

I m using honor play COR-L29 8.2.0.132(C432GT).
I have followed all the instructions.
I get a blue tint all over the photo when HDR+ is enabled on back camera

I am using honorplay I tried this after installing 3.9gb system update
Downloaded->clicked on install -> but it says app unable to install , and in all apps I saw that the app is installed but when trying to open the app it doesnt perform any action and comesout directly.

I appreciate the work but i think it only works on emui 8.2 and as i m running emui 9 so it's not working for me .The moment i press the shutter button it crashes.?

Not working
Portrait mode not working.

Im no honor stock camera fan but
Stock HDR is miles ahead of (this) gcam hdr mod...
I really wish we could get something for front camera... Its absolutely ****ty... (its emui 8.2 issue) front camera is **** because we can touch the screen and make the viewfinder adjust exposure and this makes everything crap... At the same time honor 10 running on emui 8.1 CANNOT do this... The exposure is automatic (you cannot touch a light source and adjust the camera exposure)

Honor play

Features working:
- Camera (HDR+, ZSL, flash, zoom, raw, etc on back camera )
- Video (at 1080p)
-Panorama, Photo Sphere
-portrait
Features NOT working:
- Slow motion
- Due to hdr, front camera is not working properly and there is no option to disable it. This is due to limited hardware access
There is a toggle for manual hdr switch on and of that works sometimes but sometimes not...
! Tip to use front camera use lens blur.

Guys tryout the new ? mentioned above. Its working

Blue tint in main camera.
Fix blue tint plzzz

Someone has to work for it now it is the perfect gcam for kirin devices but only one option we want now is to disable the hdr on front camera. This camera takes better images than the stock camera without hdr. @saneklic can you give us the option to disable hdr on front camera. So that we can take the Normal pictures with portrait and face retouching.
It is impossible to work hdr on front camera because of limited access of hardware. So what we want now is to disable hdr on front camera.
Guys this is the best gcam
