Great topic, thanks.
This device has a lot of potential and deserves more attention.
I would mention this ROMs and tools collection http://bbs.anzhi.com/thread-8772913-1-1.html, pretty up-to-date, unfortunately requires forum registration, besides the forum access issue. I mean this topic, for instance: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2522601.

hello do you know if available miui official version?
what rom did you mean is the better?

hello Lampis, MIUI ROM is still in closed beta tests, there are some issues as I read the users experience shared on MIUI, Nubia and AnZhi forums.
we'll have the first official MIUI ROM for Nubia Z5S in a week or two, I guess. a little bit more patience
can't say what ROM is the best, I just have the highest expectations from MIUI.

ok if have in a week or two the official rom of miui this is very good!!!in what site is the developers for miui rom for z5s?

http://www.miui.com/forum-413-7.html - the official Chinese MIUI forum for Nubia Z5S
http://en.miui.com/forum.php - the general English language MIUI forum
http://bbs.anzhi.com/forum.php?mod=forumdisplay&fid=1237&filter=typeid&typeid=14029 - the most comprehensive up-to-date Nubia Z5S ROMs source

hello..anybody try the 4.4.2 cm 11 rom?its very hard to find link to download.do you have any guy the link to flash in my phone?

syhost has recently posted the project status http://bbs.anzhi.com/thread-8830679-1-1.html and he has published his English recovery as well http://bbs.anzhi.com/thread-8831509-1-1.html

Camera Mod Apk
http://d-h.st/siE
Sent from my NX503A using xda app-developers app

short test report on Camera Mod apk
- made a copy of stock Gallery2.apk on a backup folder
- have installed new apk with Root Browser from Rom Toolbox Lite, then reboot
- did some random shoots, mainly on Pro settings
- the app crashed with "unfortunately, Gallery has stopped" when raw has been chosen instead jpg, feedback report has been sent
- old apk install fails, new apk can be successfully reinstalled, but still stops by launch
- sorted out with App Manager from ROM Toolbox Lite, clear data and clear cache for the Gallery system app
Some specs: Nubia Z5S 16GB, modded rooted ROM v1.30
A dedicated thread for the camera app would be helpful.

There is a thread on the Nubia camera app v1.0.24 here http://bbs.nubia.cn/thread-119718-1-1.html.
It gets installed as user app and then you can update to v1.0.26, download link http://nuvision.app.nubia.cn/apk/nubia_camera_v1.0.26.apk.
Not exactly like stock Gallery2.apk, some menu changes.

ROMs current status, mostly based on Chinese forums and Google translate:
- current stock ROM v1.30 and previous, as well, show shortcomings on 2G/3G/wifi/gps signal strength and stability, on voice quality maybe
- there are many third party mods on stock ROMs, claiming some minor improvements, the largest ROMs collection here http://bbs.anzhi.com/forum.php?mod=forumdisplay&fid=1237&filter=typeid&typeid=14029
- there are multi-language ROMs based on stock ROM like http://forum.etbuying.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=4005&sid=5279d3567647d83bb2abd7c84ae4e28c, check this forum for update threads
- MIUI works on its adaptation of the stock ROM, has started the beta closed tests on Feb 18, last build 4.3.19 still looks buggy, not sure they'll release the official ROM this month, as expected, official forum http://www.miui.com/forum-413-1.html
- meantime leaked MIUI builds have been published, not worth to try them, my 2 cents
- LeWa works on a stock ROM adaptation as well, 2 releases so far, major release expected for April?, claiming improvements on 3g/wifi, official forum http://bbs.lewaos.com/forum-316-1.html
- TDBeta group works on official ROM adaptation as well, first release http://www.tdbeta.cn/thread-124108-1-1.html
- syhost works on a CM11 adaptation, first succeeded compile has been reported here http://bbs.anzhi.com/thread-8830679-1-1.html, no idea what time perspectives has his project
Please add missing data or correct me where I'm wrong.

Done Lol thanks I didn't even think of looking there

Nubia Z5S has a new dedicated forum on http://bbs.mfunz.com/forum-376-1.html, meaning MoKee team is working on a adaptation for Z5S, I guess.
MoKee OpenSource is based on the Google AOSP and CyanogenMod project according to http://bbs.mfunz.com/thread-831456-1-1.html

have installed camera as instructed
what I like:
- can be installed as user app, much easier for anybody
- we've got everything possible in Pro mode settings, I guess
- picture quality setting
bugs:
- the bug on camera launching with hardware button is not that bad, at least the button works on taking shots
- ISO setting is not permanent, it loads on Auto on every camera restart

Elephone u pro Google Camera ported GCAM

Hello to all
May someone is interested to try working gcam in eragon 10.3 (may be also other roms).
Here you'll find gcam 5.2.025 and 6.1.009 (with night mode)
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1buw1JXD5EWpCzIBl-zi0oprKVVXzf-g9
I'm testing which is better, but in the moment I don't know.
It's not my work, I've found out by downloading and installing a lot of ported cams.
Perhaps you've got a better one then post it please.
Further more I've tried a lot of pie treble roms but I didn't found a rom with working Bluetooth (one was working short time but then stopped working).
For me at the moment the best oreo is eragon 10.3, congrats to @skeleton1911 . Only one problem in eragon is for ne that sometimes the phone not responding around 10 seconds if it's going in lock and short tine after if I wanna unlock with fingerprint. But it's acceptable as only one problem.
If you've found a working pie rom, please post it here.
Thanks and let's get the best rom for our elephone u pro.

Do you or someone else know how to start the gcam every time in a predefined mode eg night mode?
And do you know the differences between eragon 10.3 and 10.4, is it only the locked bootloader?
How to flash the twrp in eragon 10.4?

eragon 10.4 - https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410932744536990254 . Made on the basis of 10.2 - 10.3 . The market is certified. The loader is closed. Launcher 3. There are themes from the stock. Charge saving gapps included . He did it for himself - as skeleton1911 no longer does. If you need an open bootloader - replace the system 10.4 to 10.2 - 10.3. Sorry for english - google translation

Working Patch + GCAM Combination for Global Users with HDR+!

Hey guys. I just wanted to share that I found a (almost) fully working combination of patch + gcam for us global users! The only problem I encountered is, that after viewing photos in gallery the front cam won't save new pictures. To fix/avoid that just take a photo with the rear cam switch back to front and everything works again. No need to wipe cache or restart.
You can get the patch here: https://t.me/rn5cp (since I don't know if I'm allowed to share directly I share the link to the telegram group here) Im using the latest version (currently RN5 Camera Patch TWRP v1.035a (Pie 9.0).zip). This isn't a magisk module and has to be flashed in TWRP. The changelog says (+New libs for front cam by @BeatBydad) so maybe this is the magic which made it work now. : )
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/GCam-5.1.018-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.3b1.apk is the gcam Version I am using and everything from recording to portrait mode and focus is working just fine as it is.
I am currently using Havoc OS 2.0 but will keep on testing with other roms. Also the above gcam version is the only one I discovered so far which is fully working. Newer version still FC on frontcam.

[Updated] Gcam with Playground for Realme 5 Pro

GCam and Playground for Realme 5 Pro
I started the project thinking if I could run Gcam on Realme 5 Pro which does not have Bootloader unlocking yet.
Then I searched around the internet to find the suitable one for our device. At last I found it( thanks to @Arnova8G2 and BSG) but there are some hiccups.
The camera does work with the cost of lower resolution and not able to use certain feature.
I had to fiddle around with settings to get it working correctly.
Current Bugs are as follows:
Lens bur doesn't save the file.(Crashes after taking Pictures!!)
Slowmotion (Crashes the app!!)
Saturation isn't good as whenever I try to change the saturation for different scenes, it displays the color either saturated or dull in different scenarios.(I think it's Fixed.)
Photobooth doesn't work(Removed)
Max resolution of Rear Camera is 9.0 MP(Increased to 12.0 MP:good
Max resolution of Front Camera is 4.0 MP(The Same as before.)
Installation Process
1. Install GCam.apk
2. Install Google Play Services for AR Core.apk
3. Install Playground.apk
4.Install the Stickers you like.
5. Enjoy.
These are the settings I used to get the most of the GCam:
1. Navigate to Settings and open “BSG MOD Settings”.
2. Enable “Enhanced HDR+ in portrait mode”.
3. Open “Saturation”, change the Highlight and Shadow Saturation to 1.8 and 2.4 for the Back camera. Change the Highlight and Shadow Saturation to 1.2 and 1.8 for the Front camera.

No. I'm just a Tech geek who tries to unlock bootloader, root, install custom rom, kernel, in app billing and proxy for his device to reach maximum performance that the hardware can support. I don't develop anything though.

Sorry. Now I see this is what you were talking about.

gcam app not installing on my device
via your link i installed gcam app on my device realme 5 pro. but whenever i want to install, it is not installing.

First ensure, there are no other/old versions of Gcam already installed in phone (though some versions allow you to install multiple gcams). Remove older versions and install the new one.

There is a purple tint in all the photos....

gcam 7.0 not working in realme 5 pro
i have downloaded gcam 7.0 MGC-7.0.009_MiIXSE.RPII.MiVIII_V1b
on realme 5 pro
when i installed it it shows application not installed
please suggest me a better option...

Uninstall any gcam version you might have earlier installed then install the 7.0 version. It will work.

Solution:
Go to gcam app info, select storage usage and then select clear data.
FYI:
none of the gcam ports slow motion works.
Edit: sorry, just realised, not my post.

Hi there, i install ARCore & Playground but when i try to enter it, GCAM just close..?

Latest stable gcam

Can someone please share a link for a stable latest gcam? Is the front portrait+astronomy mode work?

I mostly use stock camera app but I have this gcam installed just in case I ever need it: https://koopahtmaniac.com/getLatest.php
Worked on android 10 and works now after updating OTA to android 11. Front camera doesn't work (crashes) but astro/night mode does.
I downloaded it from the telegram group.
Edit: the link in the group now just takes you to that same website so just get it from there.
