Anyone here who is using a google camera port that works on our device? I always get the App Not Installed issue when I try to install them.

Hi I have following problem.
I am using Miui 4 2.9.29 and i can't use goggle voice. Altough it is installed.
But in play store there is no option to open the app or deinstall it.
I have posted some screen shoots below. I don't have this problems with other roms.
Thanks in advance.
Dear fellas,
So I was trying to download the Google camera app port from here:
https://www.xda-developers.com/google-camera-hdr-customization-raw-support/
And after downloading it, I had no luck in launching the app, not even after trying to:
- Clear cache and data for both the stock camera app and the Google one.
- Enabling Camera2 API, by adding this string to build.prop: 'persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1'
- Rebooting the device multiple times.
So now, after I gave up on getting it working, I uninstalled the Google camera app, and removed the added string to build.prop, and cleared the cache and data for the stock camera app. Then rebooted the device.
Now when I try to shoot using the HDR mode on my stock camera, the app freezes and it crashes. And it won't open up again until I reboot the device. I can't manage to get it to shoot in HDR, but other modes are running fine.
Does anyone know what to do to solve this? Or even if it was possible to run the Google camera app?
I am running a rooted Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus, 128 GB
Running on: MIUI Global 8.5 | Stable
8.5.2.0 (MBGMIED)
Will copying the original build.prop for my device solve this? I don't have the original one though. So any thoughts would be much appreciated!
Has anyone tried using Google Camera w/ HDR+ on Mi 4i? I wanted to try it out, but unfortunately I cant because it the phone that I uses for business and it is required to be on all the time.
Thanks in Advance
Ever since I received pixel 6A, I have been experiencing this issue which I believe is well known to prior releases in this series.
The moment I open Google cam downloaded from play store and not installed from gcam port repos, it force closes and immediately reboots my device.
Are there any workarounds other than using another app for this?
Google camera is a system app built in, why would you need to download it from the store?
Try to factory flash or just replace from Google

I didn't separately download it from the Google Play store, but it did update itself.
Also the reason I specifically mentioned it being sourced from play store is to let experts know that I am not using any gcam ports or custom modified version of Google camera app.

Interesting....cant say Ive ever seen that happen.
@nikha I too faced the same issue when I got my P6a. It was on Android 12 and I updated all the apps including camera from Playstore. Suddenly it would freeze for a second and the phone would reboot whenever I opened the camera app.
Fix - I cleared the data of the camera app and updated to Android 13 and did factory reset. The issue has not occurred again. So far, no issues.

I did all that you have done and suggested, but no change unfortunately.

If that's the case, I would return it. That sounds hardware related if it's happening with vanilla no apps installed that might interfere android.
Hi,
is it possible to use Gcam with a third party gallery because I kind of dislike Google Photos?
And if it is not possible by default, is there any workaround or even a Gcam mod for the Pixel 7 which is staying as close as possible to the original but just allows me to change the gallery?
Cheers
Kind-of.
Basically, you need a "google-less" build of Android, like GrapheneOS.
You then can install "gcam-services-provider" (photos release from github, not basic).
The gcam services provider will create a "fake" google-photos that can be launched by camera, which then launches your selected gallery application.
Alternatively, you would have to find a way to fully uninstall gooble-photos and create your own shim.
So this means, I uninstall the Photos app from my Pixel, install the "Gcam-Services-Provider Photos" and install a different gallery app. Afterwards, Gcam will open the third party gallery?
Or do I need to uninstall more than the Photos app?
I know that some of the Google Camera Mods, which were called Camera PX, had an option in the settings to use a different gallery outside of Google Photos.
You can try random versions to see what works, but keep in mind, if I'm not mistaken, the Pixel 7 version of the camera is a version ahead of the older Pixel phones. If something doesn't work correctly, just know that everything works fine on the stock camera app.
Another thing is that normally, these mods were to get Google processing and whatnot to work on other devices or bring newer Pixel features to older Pixel phones(this is the version by MWP). I'd recommend trying the MWP version first and checking the settings after that. Idk which version of the camera by which developer had the option, but it does exist.
