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.

Originally I made this as an addon to my Pie builds for View 10, but since it works for other devices as well and I want to separate it from my development thread, I decided to post it here.
This is a HwCamera2 app ported from BKL-L04 stock 8.1 with the following additional fixes:
Fixed mode switching crash on P
Resolved gallery-related issues
Fixed saving photos in portrait mode
Everything works here including portrait, AI scene detection, dual camera.
Compatibility:
Confirmed to be working on 970, 960, 659.
The full and proper functionality can be guaranteed only for 970, but it should work just fine on everything else.
Installation:
It's a flashable ZIP, so you just need to flash it via custom recovery.
Download:
Google Drive (link is always up-to-date with the latest version)

It works on Pie update for the Honor 7x/Mate SE (havent tried on other versions), please thanks to the original developer on his own thread im just reposting it here for visibility.
Hi everyone
I use a port of Google camera on my Galaxy S6 G920i with Nougat.
But I can not use the same APK in any version be it Oreo or above.
The application simply freezes and I can not do anything.
I would like to test and use LineageOS, Pixel and other ROMs, but the native camera is not good. GCam would be the solution, but it freezes, I believe that because of some function available to Oreo and above.
Can anyone use GCam without problems in these versions? (8.0+)
Sorry for my bad English!
Try to to Download Gcam v3.0 and i prefer to download this https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ix-camera-stability-scam-fix-tw-oreo-t3889584 , it's a Scam Fix
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....

i have downloaded gcam 7.0 MGC-7.0.009_MiIXSE.RPII.MiVIII_V1b

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.

The shutter button hangs for me after trying to take a picture no matter if hdr is on or off. I think it's either working only on global rom or Indian variant of 8a. I'm not sure how to tell which variant u have unless u bought it there locally. I'm currently on EU rom instead of global but the model my 8a is global version with more bands since I ordered it online. Also I think gcam is supposed to work if these are showing but it doesn't for some reason

Anyone have any idea about gcam or any other camera app that has night light and slow motion for redmi 8A. If not both any one of the mentioned features...
After testing multiple GCAMs and performing multiple tests. The only cameras that i found compatible are: Camera Go, GCAM version 3 and some versions 4. Also a version 5 but without HDR +.
The rest of GCAM does not work on Redmi 8A.

Crash after using lens blur for selfie
When i try to use lens blur for selfie the app crashes.
How can i take portrait selfie?
Do i have to make 64 bit os for taking portrait selfies?
And another thing is cyanogenmods website suggests arnova gcam 6.1.021 but doesn’t install in my phone.
Thank you for your service.

best one
64bit gcam link plz
I've found this port of gcam for redmi 8a. Everything works except for the front camera. If you want front camera to work you need to enable hdr+ for front cam in settings which will break the main camera. Also there is a button for night sight. It is very reliable.
Link: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog1520/
There is a newer version but it only supports android 9.
Thanks to Expace for this great app.
If you installed miui 12 and the photo quality is very bad, this port is a real lifesaver! Unrelated but is it just me or does miui 12.0.1 update destroy the camera quality?

It was working before I installed custom rom (64 bit) in my phone.
It just doesn't show any image after opening.
Please help me this gcam was the best one I had and I don't want to go back to miui to run this
Nice
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.
