Question about telephoto and wide lenses in Gcam - OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers

Hello Guys, as the Gcam photo quality beats the quality of the oneplus camera ( in general) I'm thinking to root my oneplus 7 pro just to utilize telephoto and wide lenses in Gcam, so is it worth it ? does the quality differs compared to stock cam? thnx

Anyway to unlock the telephoto lens for video?

Hello
I bought the mi mix 2s to use it for video with the telephoto lens with a handheld stabilizer, I feel so screwed realizing I can't use the telephoto camera in video.
Is there any way/software fix that could allow us to use the telephoto lens in video mode ?

**Xiaomi Mi9 Camera**

Hi all!
Thanks for clicking on this thread!
my Question is simple and straightforward: if I buy the Mi9 will Gcam use all the 48Mp of the sensor or just 12mp? And if it will only use 12mp will this be because pixel-bining will still work\happen or just because Pixel phones(for which gcam was made) only have 12mp camera and that is the limit? So I will actually LOSE quality compared to Stock cam mi9? Mi8 only had 12mp sensor so I can't just look in that forum for answers. Sony Phones have more MP but they don't support gcam because of the api.
I have only tested Gcam on my MIX 2 and that phone is also only 12mp sensor.
I am pondering at the moment between getting mi9 or s10+.. but price of s10+ is a bit high and from the samples i saw already s10+ doesn't shoot better quality than my s9+ (with zeroprobe's camera mod) since it has the exact same sensors as s9+ only with the ultrawide one added. I have the feeling that mi9 with gcam has the potential to be better than s10 since my mix2 (which has a ****ty single camera) can rival the s9+ with the help of gcam.
Thank you in advance!

It can only read 12mp subsampling pixels (0.8micron). Not 12mp pixelbinning 1.6micron
It's so bad, when you zoom in 2x, it crop to 3mp effective resolution
I don't like this idea
S10+ has poor camera2api, you can't access wide and tele lens, no f2.4 option (f1.5 one is not so clear)

Photography - using a specific lens on multi-lens phones

I am interested in buying the huawei P40 pro+ or mate 40 pro+ purely for their 240mm focal length lenses (to replace my s7 edge). Reason being I hate the facial distortion that occurs with shorter focal length lenses
How would i go about ensuring my pictures are taken with the 240mm lens?
This question could be extended to all cameras with multiple lens AND multiple telephoto lenses. I assume when your only lenses are wide, ultra wide and telephoto simply switching to portrait mode should work... but these huawei phones have 2 telephoto lenses (240 & 80mm focal length).
Any idea or help?

[Q]ultrawide full 40mp resolution

why cant we set the ultrawide cam to 40mp?
it only shot at 10mp with lack of quality compared to my mate 20x 20mp ultrawide .

Question Is there any camera mod with more than 45x zoom?`

Yes I already know even 30x zoom does not get quality photos. But zooming is not always about getting quality photos. For example S22 Ultra can be used to recognize objects faraway for human eye. Most of xiaomi or oppo devices with 5x optical zoom cam can zoom in to 120x.
I have tried many camera apps that would support pixel 7 pro till 45x but not beyond that. Is there any good third party camera app or gcam mod which I can use for 100x zoom?
P.S: I don't expect good post photo processing in the app, just zooming
