As for portrait you should use google camera, which is way better in my opinion both in edge recognizing and quality (and it works for both front and back camera).
For B&W you can use Snapdragon camera (included in most roms), but i noticed it has some bugs with focusing, or FreeDCam, which should cycle and show B&W using the second camera (but it depends on the rom you're using).
As for MIUI camera you can get it to work on custom roms through some ports, but you'll get basic functionality and for sure no support for second camera. They're also old miui 9 versions, so they won't have portrait.
If you still want to try here are some versions to flash (remember to give all the permissions prior opening the app, otherwise it will say that it can't connect).
I still recommend to avoid using miui camera on this device, it is really bad with picture compression. Just use GCam for almost everything and you'll get awesome results, i even compared with my friends' mi 8 and the results are impressive.

Where I find B and W in FreeDCamera? didnt found yet

Assuming you are on oreo-based rom (i'm on syberia and this doesn't work), just open FreeDCam and try to switch camera. It should show front camera, and changing again camera should show up the B/W sensor. I can't say it works for sure, i used to do it on an old unofficial rom (AICP based off old los15 sources), and it may still work but i didn't do further testing.
I asked to syberias' dev if he could look into that, hopefully we'll have working B/W sensor for third party cameras other than buggy Snap
UPDATE: Got it working guys, made a new thread so that it will be pinned for others too

REMINDERS
Before I start, I would like to give some reminders on using ported GCam on any phone other than a Pixel:
1) Full resolution is not guaranteed. I don't know why this is the case, but the leading explanation is that Pixels have 12MP sensors instead of 16MP. See this thread for details.
2) This is pretty much trial-and-error. The APKs I have suggested may not work, since different developers make different tweaks on different versions of their APKs. It also doesn't help that there's no APK created specifically for the ZenFone 3, which means we have to rely on APKs made for other devices.
3) Thanks to Celso Azevedo for providing a very clean mirror of all APKs, which allowed me to try A LOT (think 20+) APKs.
What works:
GCAM 5
GCam 5 is very stable, so almost any GCam 5 APK is going to work. This includes fast HDR+ processing and absence of green/purple tint on front camera. Every feature is on GCam 5 except for Night Sight. I have a few recommendations though:
1) fu24's 5.2.025 APK - pretty much the latest and most customizable one can ever find on this version.
2) Arnova's 5.1.018 APK- #1 is the king, but you might try this one as well.
GCAM 6
This is where it gets tricky. A lot of GCam 6 APKs have bugs as GCam 6 is new in itself. You might observe issues such as black screens, green/purple tint on front camera, and crashes when trying GCam 6 APKs. To date I have not found an APK that works with slow motion.
To save you the headache, I have a few APKs to recommend:
Arnova's V 2.0 - the best APK I've seen. Just set the front camera model to Nexus 6P, and green camera tint will be gone.
DO NOT TRY
There are APKs which are guaranteed not to work. These APKs just crash every start-up. Don't try these when experimenting with APKs. These are:
1) Any 6.x Arnova8G2 APK, except for those with "Pixel2Mod" or "Pixel3Mod" in the title (these don't have any customization options other than the one bundled with the Pixel, also have green tint)
2) Any APK made for Poco/OnePlus/Exynos/Kirin phones.
I have confirmed every piece of information to be accurate at the time of writing. Circumstances may change, so I'm updating this thread every month to be more accurate.

Thanks for this but rear cam is laggy any setting you recommend?
Thanks for the links. Currently using the recommended Gcam 5 with the last PixelExperience ROM and I couldn't be happier with my phone. Truly spectacular pictures.

Google camera 7 [Pixel 4 build]

Try this.works well .
New ui. No lag what so ever in viewfinder.
Only cons: selfies are just way more softer (who clicks them anyway??), Video recoding doesn't work.(stock cam is better for vdo as 1080 60fps with better faster focusing...

It's a shame because I'm loving my Moto Z4! The camera could be a little better though. It's just a little soft and lacks detail. I downloaded the Gcam port for the Moto G7 Plus and while it works for taking photos (with substantially better fine detail than the stock app), many things aren't working e.g. reviewing a photo takes you to the photos app rather than giving a preview of the photo like the stock app.
Is there anyone out there much cleverer then I who is willing and able to port the Gcam app for the Z4?
Thanks!
There you go man: https://www.dropbox.com/s/h2piu4itiv8uftn/MGC_6.2.030_StableAwbVersion_V16.apk?dl=0
Best version I could find out there for Motorola devices, also has plenty of options.
Cheers, I'll give it a razz
Wow! It's working perfectly on Moto Z2 Force. Thx!!!
Just found another one that has no issues at all and works better.
Just disable Force Super Res Zoom in settings:

On the Moto Z2 Force it works with Super Res Zoom On too.

This is the best version of GCAM port that i found that doesnt crash on my Z4 ....
Bugs:
Night Mode doesnt work in landscape as expected (not sure why this happens). It also defaults to astrophotography (you can turn this off in settings). Works fine for selfie and portrait style pics.
Slow motion doesnt work.
*Edit* Video on *back* cam doesnt work but does on the front -- moto camera app takes better video anyhow .
Enjoy!
The lastest version of the above gcam project works fantastic with the Moto Z4. Video and night capture works flawlessly. Only thing that doesn't work is slowmotion.

I have had pretty good luck with this one. It crashes on slo-mo, but everything else works perfectly. (Yes I have a moto z4)

Howdy!
I'm using LineageOS (without Gapps) on my OnePlus 7 Pro and it's great. The only drawback is the camera.
I installed the Stock ROM OP camera app and gallery app and they kind of 'work' but the picture quality is just not there. It looks a lot worse, especially in wide angle mode.
Very soft, mushy, very grainy in the shadows, just overall poor quality.
Also, the camera app crashes when I open it every time. I have to long-click and select a mode, that's the only way to open the app. I also can't get from the camera directly to the gallery.
I'm using the 'correct' versions since I got the apk from my device when it was running OxygenOS 10.3.1
I tried installing 'OnePlus Camera service' apk, but it wouldn't install.
Did any of you guys figure out how to get the stock camera to work on a custom rom? I suspect there is some post processing app needed that runs in the background, cleaning up the picture.
thanks!
You should give Gcam a go.
There's a good discrption in the apps thread
I haven't seen OOSCam work well in any ROM. Gcam is great for photos, but stock OOS cam is what I want to use for video. It's the reason I went back to stock.

I plan on testing out the various Google Camera ports out there when I get this phone, but I was wondering which one anybody else had the most success with and whether there are any existing configs that should be used with it. Thanks in advance.
I'm using (MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1w_ENG), works great and is stable.
Tried many of the other 8.x camera ports but had trouble with green tint pictures.
Have not had time to mess around with configs yet, happy with default settings.

Thanks for this info..
Google camera mgc.8.1.101_a9....ENG. .
Working perfect on GSI android 12 pixel experience...
I was already fairly impressed with the stock moto camera quality (Moto G Stylus 5G 2021 / Android 12) but I installed Gcam and it's consistently taking better photos when comparing stock app vs gcam, even indoors.
Very nice and it was simple to install, using default settings so far, version is MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV2a_ENG
EDIT: Ok when testing further out focus outdoors it seems the stock app is a little better focused in the distance but so far that's the only negative i'm seeing. I'll have to mess with it, also not using any config files (yet).
You should try the Greatness 8.2 and I still think I get better results with the latest Butchercam. I think it's a GCam 7.x but I think it looks better.
Bumping thread, with some "new" info. I've had good luck using

The settings I had to change to get it to work was turning on auto white balance (pics were green without it turned on), then I went to the advanced->ancillary camera settings to turn on the ID2 and ID4 cameras so the buttons would show on screen. Renamed ID2 to wide lens, and ID4 to Macro lens. I don't know if I used correct terms for names, the ID2 is the 0.5 camera and the ID4 is the flower icon camera from original camera. ID1, ID,3, ID5 options seems to crash app so I couldn't figure out which one goes to the physical 4th camera on back, so no clue how to access that particular camera plus I don't know what it's for.
Video and everything else appears to work without crashing. It does crash as I play with setting to get it to work better, but
I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 pro. I changed OS from MIUI to PixelExperience, but it was too buggy (although the cameras all worked), so I changed to LineageOS. Now, even if I install gcam (using gcamator) I can't get access to the ultrawide camera or the macro camera any more. I don't have ultrawide lens option in the app (even in OpenCamera). Have I missed something? Is there a custom app that will find my cameras? Is there a better forum to ask this question?
TIA!

Camera is always an issue with Custom ROMs because stock camera is proprietary property, the developers that create custom ROMs can not use and do not have access to canera source to include in the ROM. Virtually all LOS ROMs have camera that doesn't work when the ROM is first released, sometimes the camera is fixed sometime after the ROM is released but often it never gets fixed. The only working solutions other than fixing it during the ROM building process is to try various camera apps from Playstore but it won't have your stock camera's features. If you want to use your stock camera's features, you need to go back to using your stock ROM.
