Google Camera: Full Portrait Mode and more! [Updated : 23rd March 2018]

Both rear and front cameras are rocking with Fully Working Portrait Mode, HDR+ and more!
Recommended Android Version is 8.0+. But you can try on other Android versions as well.
I will update this thread daily Enjoy!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE:
1. I didn't make the app nor developed any single thing on the app, I just shared the app link. All credit goes to the actual developer (or developers). Thanks, Man!
2. Not sure about other devices, tested and working on my Redmi Note 4 (MIDO).
3. It is rootless. (Let me know if there's any issue with this)
4. My Redmi Note 4 is running AOSPExtended Custom Oreo 8.1 based ROM, and its working. (May or may not work with MIUI, all Custom Nougat ROMs)

Please post which version you are using...

Can anybody point me to the right version for AOSP 7.1.2 ROM's? I am currently using AEX 4.6 Final build released on mid November.

Thank you! It's working perfectly fine on my Mido AEX 8.1. Just one problem though, it crashed every time I open slow motion. Beside that it's great!

[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.

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

Back camera portrait mode not working

Working Google Camera Mod by BSG

I've tried a bunch of google camera ports, so far this is the only one which has everything working for this phone - front and back portrait, HDR+, slow motion 120fps, etc.
This was made by XDA developer BSG and not me, I'm only sharing a link to his work.
(Enable camera2api before using these ports)

---------------------------------------------
I'm using Resurrection Remix on Oreo by Shahan 12/6/18
Also best settings (AFAIK):
BSG Settings:
-Old Style -> Nexus (so front can works with and without portrait mode)
-Portrait Mode Always Active (So portrait mode appears instead of tilt shift) NEW ONE (5.3) HAS IT ACTIVE BY DEFAULT
Panorama Resolution: High
Majority of the other settings you can play around based on your preference.

If bsg's mod isn't working then try arnova's latest gcam there front cam won't work, front portrait will work. And if you'd use v7beta9, disable "camera.enable_micro" in developer settings....then everything except slow motion will work.....

Why are all camera apps recognising the front cam as only 5mp instead of 20mp?

Maybe the issue is with camera2api, 'cause on camera2api open camera was detecting front cam as a5mp sensor but when I whitelisted it for using HAL1 only it detected it as a 20.1 mp sensor, so it might be an issue related to HAL3 too...

Actually,the post should've mentioned that this gcam works fine on AI version. Apparently,the gcams from tigr and marlin-ku has front camera working on 6.x gcams.Arnova fixed the front camera bug and they too rectified it.You can easily download the gcams from celsoazvedo.
Marlin one:
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-marlin-ku/
Tigr one
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-tigr/
Before trying,check if camera 2api is enabled and also make sure to remove all camera related patches from magisk(if installed)
