GCam Lens Blur and Photo Sphere issues - Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers

Hello,
Recently received my Mix 2S and liking it a lot so far. My only issue so far is that in Google Camera from any modder on any AOSP ROM, the lens blur and photo sphere modes are bugged. They do output images, but the resultant image is far too overexposed.

Does anybody else have the same issue? Currently on AOSiP 20190915, Canting v2.4, Magisk 19.3 with the only camera related module being Luffity's ANXCam.

Other Camera apps?
Did you give a try to other camera apps such as (the free & open-source software) Open Camera (https://opencamera.sourceforge.io/)? It has recently supported panorama mode.

I did give open camera's panorama a shot as per your recommendation, but the image from that is also similarly overexposed. what's even more strange is that gcam's dedicated panorama mode (not the one in photo sphere mode) does not have such an issue. also, I'd rather have one camera app that does most things properly, rather than having a multitude of camera apps to fix what is broken on others (having anxcam do stabilised video is the only compromise I'm willing to make). furthermore, open camera doesn't have a wide angle option like on gcam.

It is true that using only one camera app is preferable, but comparison with different apps could be used to determine where the problem originates. If another app does not have the same issue, it could be a problem of the algorithm in certain apps. A sidenote: it could happen that proprietary binaries do not appear in the custom ROMs due to various reasons.

well since open camera has a similar bug I guess it's a vendor issue then. but now I am just curious as to whether other people are getting similar results as me when they use the lens blur and photo sphere modes in gcam.

update: after flashing global miui 11.0.4.0 (gcam needs google services to work apparently), issues have been resolved and now works properly on aosp roms. i think it was due to the pixel3rom i flashed prior to other aosp roms, which seems to utilise a different vendor that overwrote the stock camera lib but was subsequently not overwritten by the vendors of other aosp roms.

Hi, sorry for bumping but I'm facing the same issue for Poco F1.
Are you using Android 10 or 9? AFAIK, that fw is for 10 but I don't want to update to 10 yet. Is it compatible with 9?

at the time 11.0.4.0 was pie. not sure about pocophone. the issue was only present on certain aosp pie roms, now that I'm using 10 I've not run into this problem. perhaps u can try flashing back to stock miui and trying out a few pie roms and see which rom+vendor combo works best for u.

Cam results?

Hi,
I got CM 11S flashed on my Chinese OPO, boot loader unlocked and rooted.
But the cam results are terrible.
1. Front camera though 5MP has better results.
2. Main camera, in Auto mode wit Flash set at auto, doesn't flash in darkness, if for some reason it does the pic results are so dull, creamy unsharp, despite that its a 13MP.
3. Flash sensor issues?
4. I got great results with Color OS initially......... and later when previously flashed CM 11 S over Color, they weren't that bad either..........may be by chance the the Color cam got ported over CM 11S?
5. So disappointed plan on going back to Color.
Any suggestions, recommendations,
Thanks.
Yeah, i'm not a fan of the camera. AT ALL.
Some things that bug me about the One's camera:
1) pictures look destaurated and color's don't pop.
2) exposure is too dark in almost all cases
3) sharpness is no where near my nexus's 5 stock camera.
Nexus 5's camera is MUCH better.
Unless someone can tell me how to improve this, I just hate the one's camera. sucks.

Thanks for the reply.
My phone's issue is cam sucks with CM 11S?
When I got it CM 11S with cm-11.0-XNPH25R-bacon-signed-fastboot OR cm-11.0-XNPH25R-bacon-signed results of cam were not bad.
But with this OPO_64GB cam sucks.
Thanks.
For the camera, I don't know what to tell you, but it sees like you just want to modify the camera shutter and exposure settings to your preference. Or you can go into the themes/app section and reflash the stock camera.

I would have to manually over expose the camera EVERY TIME i launch the camera app. Annoying.
I've already installed Google Camera. The stock OnePlus camera and some other ones from the play store.
They all give the same results.
It's fundamentally a camera sensor issue.

Yea, that sounds amiss; personally, I haven't had any noticeable issues with my camera.
But shouldn't the settings persist though, so you don't have to do it EVERY time?
Am a a bit confused........does the Color cam give bad results or CM 11S cam?
Stock OnePlus camera and Google camera have similar results.....What do you imply by stock OP cam?
Is Google cam available at GPS, should I try installing it over CM 11S?
Camera sensor issues are with Color OS?
Thanks.
Guys, it's a matter of knowing how to use a smartphone camera properly. Point and shoot just doesn't cut it for all situations.

If you know how to use it, it is really good.

I've used the app Perfectly Clear to help edit brightness and saturation and have been very pleased.
Again, it's a camera phone. You can't expect DSLR quality. Great lighting is key with these sensors.

Woh simply too good.
Probably should reflash CM 11S.......... cm-11.0-XNPH25R-bacon-signed-fastboot.
Thanks again.
I have seen some complaints but for the less than two days I have had this phone camera has been wonderful.
Outside in good light is on par with most flagships in my opinion and low light is OK but have seen few phones that are better.
Been using slimkat with Google camera and response time is great with auto mode

[PORT] Huawei P20 Camera (EMUI 8.1)

Hello ! This is a port from the Huawei P20 camera, based on EMUI 8.1.
Additional fixes:
Gallery preview fixed
Portrait mode photo are now saving
What is not working:
Nothing ! If you got any issues you can report it here.
Informations:
This port should work on Huawei P20, P20 Pro under Treble roms, but also on other devices..
Just flash the zip file in TWRP, and enjoy !
If you are under Treble ROM, I'd recommand you using "Google Photos", it's faster than stock gallery app.
I wanna thank @flex1911 for his help on this port. Without him it wouldn't be possible.

quick question - is there any difference between the P20 and P20 Pro camera apps? Don't really see what they could change, so don't know if it's worth to flash on a stock P20.
This is a port from P20, not P20 Pro.
There's no reason to flash this on stock P20.
It's useful for Treble roms only.
Does Raw work for anyone with a p20 pro? I'm on lineage and it crashes the app.
Everything else works great and I finally have pro mode monochrome back and the "color" options in the normal photo/video mode.

Here you go, started recording the log right before opening the camera and eventually I switched to raw and it blacks out the viewfinder. You can still switch modes for a little bit but eventually the camera app just stops responding.

Going to take a look. Thanks for the log, it will be very helpful.
I installed it on my P10, using DotOs, and I can say that it works perfectly! :laugh: :good: this is a great port, everything working, even raw and gallery.
Thank you so much for this port bro.
I can confirm that raw mode in p20 pro freezes the camera app. I'm running latest LOS.
Hey, thanks for the good work.
I'm trying it out on a P20 Pro running the Pixel Experience Treble Rom, and am I doing something wrong or does the gallery not work? it keeps saying that I need to add a gallery to the work profile or something along the lines of that

Doesn't work for me either on lineage 15.1. This is still my favorite camera app despite the gallery issue and raw not working on lineage
Since you are on pixel experience with a p20 pro, does raw work with this camera? I'm curious if it's a rom issue or app issue. Also, how's the rom? Anything not work?

Raw freezes the camera app so I guess that's a No.
I've tried Lineage 15.1 and Pixel Experience together with Havoc and the rest for the P20 Pro. Imho, Pixel Experience is my go to.
Lineage is great, but there's just that little bit of lack of responsiveness that I can feel in the UI that bugs me. Another breaker for me was not being able to use it in dual sim mode. It kept dropping my signals left and right, making it super irritating when I was travelling and using two sims at the same time.
Pixel Experience is incredibly smooth and fluid, more so than Lineage (reminds me of my U11+, albeit not quite there), though there are some bugs but not breaking.
VoLTE doesn't work, though I guess that's pretty much all AOSP ROMs, no fast charging with the Huawei Supercharger, and the signal bars are shown as half all the time for some reason, though I don't think this affected my overall usage at all.
Other than that, it's perfect.

8.1, the last time I tried 9.0 it bootlooped, not too sure why but I haven't tried 9.0 ever since.
I flashed mine using TWRP, but you could use fastboot as well if you wanted to.
Not working
I'm using pixel experience rom and it does not even open
Is it possible to make a magisk module of this port?
Any chance to run this port on miui stock roms?
The download is trashed? Was hoping this could work on the OnePlus 7 pro
Can someone Update the link please? This was the only version that worked for me.
I would also like to request a new download link. Please and thanks!

Which Gcam version are you using for your Mi Note 3?

Hi all,
I am curious which gcam version are you using for your Mi Note 3 since I want to make sure that we are using the best version possible.
I have Global Stable 10.1.2 Rom (Nougat) and below are the only apps that are working to some extent, but share yours if you think your version is better/has more working options. Unfortunately, there are no Gcam versions with Night Sight for Nougat, but do share them with the rest of us, pointing out which android version you are using.
For Nougat:
Arnova's v8.3b1: GCam-5.1.018-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.3b1.apk---------- good for taking photos with HDR+ enhanced, NO good for video, front camera is also no good, no night sight, no slow motion. Panorama, photo sphere and Lens Blur seem to be working.
v5.3.015 v.1.0.15 final--------good only for 4K video not Full HD, No good for photos, no front camera, no night sight, no slow motion. Panorama, photo sphere and Lens Blur seem to be working.
Do share your opinion and improve the discussion. DONT ASK FOR INSTRUCTIONS! There are plenty of topics about that. Just share if you installed gcam.
Thank you
It is more about what settings do you use. GCam 5 would be perfect for me since with nexus 6p back camera is the best but selfie one is bad so when I was on MIUI I was using mostly arnova's Gcams also we have @WebDingo who made one port of GCam special for our device so you can use that one too with his settings.
Sent from my Mi Note 3 using Tapatalk
I understand your point, but the thing is different versions have different options working. Here are 2 more versions that a user shared on another forum
GCam_Pixel3Mod_1.3_build.6.1.021.apk: Night mode, Photobooth, faster capture and processing time in general, slow motion not working (probably working on Oreo only)
GCam-5.1.018-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.3b1.apk: for slow motion with sound only as everything else is slower here (works on Nougat)
Also If you are on a beta with Oreo, I advise you to check the Pixel 3 mods since they have Night Sight and it is amazing (please see below)

I understand your point, but the thing is different versions have different options working. Here are 2 more versions that a user shared on another forum
GCam_Pixel3Mod_1.3_build.6.1.021.apk: Night mode, Photobooth, faster capture and processing time in general, slow motion not working (probably working on Oreo only)
GCam-5.1.018-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.3b1.apk: for slow motion with sound only as everything else is slower here (works on Nougat)
Also If you are on a beta with Oreo, I advise you to check the Pixel 3 mods since they have Night Sight and it is amazing (please see below)

Yeah, GCam_Pixel3Mod_1.3_build.6.1.021.apk is working on my lineageos 15.1 and if you ask me, significant improvement from stock camera and gcam pixel 2 mod. Night sight is also working. But you have to install xiaomi mi a2 camera magisk module first to use it.

I have installed the following module on my a freshly installed Lineage 15.1 build with firmware from 8.11.1:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/themes/magisk-pixel3-gcam-enabler-t3870770
... and the GCam_Pixel3Mod_1.3_build.6.1.021.apk released on 2018-11-27, but it just crashes. What are you doing differently?

Ok, first you have to install front camera hdr+ fix magisk module if you haven't already.
Then you have to flash the following magisk module.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JMBz_PNFwcv92RQLBQUCg_9_2XcX1Q6M/view?usp=drivesdk
Then install the mentioned gcam and enjoy.

Thanks for the feedback. It might be worth mentioning that your link doesn't seem to work, but I resolved the issue by installing the Mi A2 Magisk Module and the following camera.
MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-based_v.1.2_TlnNeun_Fix
Thanks for your help!
Update
So I'm using EU stable 10.2.3 Rom and these are the details for the gcams
Although I installed the fix for Front camera, I couldn't find a single camera that will have the front camera working for me!
These are not working for me at all
MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V1d_fu24-01f.apk
GCam_5.1.018.177470874.41362666_IDan_N6_4.1_fix.apk
MGC_5.2.022_1.0.apk probably working only on pie roms
Probably the best versions so far are
MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-based_v.1.3c_fix_TlnNeun.apk
MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-based_v.1.3d_TlnNeun.apk
Photo and slow motion don't work, but night sight and video do work. (tip: use night sight for daylight photos too)
GCam_Pixel3Mod_1.3_build.6.1.021.apk Very Fast capture and processing! Photo,video, night sight works. No Slow motion
For Slow Motion
GCam-5.1.018-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.3b1-- only for slow motion, but its relatively dark!
GoogleCamera_5.2.025-Final_fu24-17_845Colorfix.apk, photo work, video-slomo work but relatively dark,Doesn't have night sight
Do recommend other versions that you have tried.
Sorry @mwarner I didn't check the link before posting it. But link updated if anyone's interested.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Qs3bOCSx78P1kEogAfOSN1DJ1ueeTTx1/view?usp=drivesdk
Also MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-based_v.1.2_TlnNeun_Fix.apk this version is buggy and slow for me. Thanks anyway.
I think this works. I am on global miui 10. You have to use magisk fix for the front camera portrait. Hope it works for you. GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.2.apk

Hi, did you check if there is a setting in BSG mod menu named FIX. If it exists check for Slow motion and change it to 120fps.
You can try these versions https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V2a+.apk and this one https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/GCam_Pixel3Mod_1.2beta_build.6.1.013.apk

GCam Collection, Configs & Discussion

​This is a collection of working Google Cameras (GCams) for the Galaxy A20 & A20e.
This thread is not in its final state and will be updated over time. If you want to add/edit something, feel free to tell me.
Important​All of the following GCams require to enable RAW Capture with this Magisk module.
This shouldn't be required on recent versions of Eureka ROMs. To check whether you need the module or not, download the Camera2 API Probe app. If the "Hardware Support Level" is set to "FULL" and "RAW capture" is available, you don't need to install it.

If you don't enable RAW Capture, you'll get a black screen and only video recording will work.
GCams​BSG's MGC 8.1​Download (I suggest you to download the com.samsung.android.scan3d version)
Advantages:
Very stable, handles all the cameras without any problems
LOTS of configurations, each camera module can have different settings
Disadvantages:
Slow performance, but this is expected in our low-end phone. However, other GCams are a little faster, specially when switching between modes (photo, video recording, night sight...)
Slow Motion doesn't work
Motion Tracking doesn't work
Astrophotography doesn't work
Configs:
@TBM13's config: Enables the wide camera and disables the zoomed front camera. On the back camera, increases sharpness, sets correct AWB model and enables motion photo. Download
@SerbianGeek 's config: Increases contrast and makes colors more vivid. Download
Tutorials:
Enable wide camera
Remember that your ROM needs to expose it. For more information check the FAQ below.
Go to Settings->Modules>White list then type 50 , press Ok and restart the app
Enable motion photos
Go to Settings->Global and enable "Motion Photo"
Go to Settings->Modules->Back (1.0) and set "Module hardware level" to "Level 3". This will make Motion Photo work on the back camera.
If you want to enable Motion Photo on other camera modules, repeat this same process on them.
FAQ / Issues​Black screen. Only video recording works​Make sure you installed the Magisk module to enable RAW Capture.
​Sometimes the phone lags / freezes / reboots while using GCam​This happens to me quite a lot. Sometimes the phone freezes and I have to reboot it holding volume down + power key, and other times it reboots itself. This is most likely a software issue on our camera library, and nothing can be done for now.
Closing all other apps before opening GCam seems to help a lot with both the overall performance and stability, so I suggest to do this.
Wide camera is not detected / doesn't appear​Your ROM needs to expose it. You can check this using the Camera2 API Probe app: if it's being exposed, you should see a camera with ID 50 at the bottom of the list.
Additionally, some GCams also require to change some setting.
How to expose the wide camera?​If your ROM doesn't expose the wide camera, as far as I know nothing can be done.
However, if you are using PHH's AOSP GSI or any other based on it (like LineageOS GSI, Pixel Experience GSI, etc.), you can expose it by going to Settings->PHH Treble Settings->Samsung Features-> Tick "Enable access to all cameras" and reboot.
Photos aren't saving when HDR is enabled​This seems to be an issue in newer GCams, like in BSG's GCams newer than 8.1.
I haven't found a fix for this.
Night sight photos are pinkish and blurry​This seems to be a common issue in all GCams.
A workaround is to lock AF/AE, which can be done by pressing any part of the screen to focus and then pressing the lock that appears at the top right.
This needs to be done every time before you take a photo with Night Sight.
Slow motion doesn't work!​I haven't found any GCam with working slow motion as of now. Seems like our phone just doesn't support it.

do you have a config file for a20 ?
How do I download? And which APK to download? Is it the "googlecameng" APK? After I click the APK it says "you are trying to access a temporary link."

Not right now. I will soon add two (mine, which just makes it easier to get the wide camera to appear, and another guy's config which modifies colors and contrast).

Yeah, they are all the same. I don't know why you're getting that message. What browser are you using?

Thank you!
I have cleaned the thread a little bit and also uploaded my config for BSG's 8.1 GCam. Most of its changes are on the back camera, as I made it for personal use and I don't really use the front and wide cameras. It'll probably be updated over time, when that happens I'll try to notify it by commething here.
