Tested on AEX by @xdatman
ENJOY! Say Thanks if you like it!
If you feel like, invite me some snacks and sodas
:laugh: SEND SNACKS TO Carlosggb CLICK HERE :laugh:
Will testing soon ???
Tested this on AOSiP ROM.Most of the things works well,but there are some bugs
1.slow mo doesn't work
2.very slow(3-5 s). Time to change between portrait and photo mode and also from back to front camera
Overall it's the best miui camera port that I have come across. I jumped to Aosp ROM as soon as this camera is ported
@carlosggb
Tested it out in AOSiP. Camera quality is good, portrait mode works great, same as stock camera.
Bugs I could find so far:-
1. As stated above by @Subhashis Switching from portrait to normal mode and front to back camera or vice versa lags like hell, takes 3 - 4 seconds.
2. FP Shutter doesn't work.
3. No auto HDR is available.
4. AI Mode is not working (I don't think it is gonna work anyway).
5. Even 1080p video doesn't have any stabilization.
6. Clicking on slow-motion crashes the camera app.
7. I don't know what magic mirror does but enabling group selfies does nothing (I know its a MI series features and I don't expect it to work on this phone either).
The lag is main problem in this camera. Otherwise its great. Having FP Shutter and Auto HDR would be convenient though. Thank you so much for your hard work man!
Edit:- Another problem I found after some time that flashing this camera stops Google camera from working, it crashes at launch. After disabling or uninstalling A2 camera form magisk Google camera works fine.
Edit 2:- Well, after disabling the module and making google camera work, re-enableing the module both camera works fine. Its wired or I might be doing something wrong.
Great. Will test it out
Nice work op.
But it force-closes on Liquid Remix 20180727.
Wow nice one
I'll testing soon
good work thanks i will also try to stable it
Clicking a normal picture in photo mode makes my phone go into reboot. Anyone else facing this issue?
Dont work on Pixel rom!

Working. Enable all permission. Reboot ur device then check
Photos taken using portrait mode in both the front and back camera takes years to process (10-15 seconds). While processing the camera is unusable and if you press too many buttons while its stuck, it will force stop.
Only portrait mode working here, anything elks results in phone crashing to black screen and have to reboot.
Edit: I did something and now everything working well
Edit: ok have found the culprit. HDR must be enabled along with AI. If HDR is disabled when AI is active, phone will crash
For camera related apps and mods, I think its a good idea to also state your device model -- Indian RN5pro or Global RN5 when reporting, because there might be some camera module/sensor related problems

Sorry, edited my post, the problem was HDR had to be active when AI is active. Once I realised this I've had no problem. This is so good. Thanks
Doesn't seem to work on Resurrection Remix. App appears as '60' and refuses to open. Still, I'll keep an eye, this port is promising
Greetings, as mentioned above, I need device, ROM and logs of your issues. Incomplete information WILL BE IGNORED.
THIS IS A FIRST BETA, NEED LOGS TO IMPROVE
FC in AEX. All permission enabled.
Can you try this? change line in /common/system.prop ro.product.device=tissot_sprout to ro.product.device=whyred. and replace /system/etc/device_features/tissot_sprout.xml to whyred.xml found in miui rom and see if it helps.
Anyone got Google camera with working portrait mood?
This is not possible yet until some one will work for it...
Till we can only hope for this
There are some ports that nearly work well, but don't worth the try unless you want to have to reinstall the app and reboot your phone every 2 pictures... One works well but has a heavy blue tint, the other is good but make the camera driver crash at nearly every 1 or 2 pictures so you have to reinstall Google Camera app and reboot phone.

Once you use it and
1) if directly switch to stock cam, everything including launcher and Ui crashes. No way to get out of it other than force restart... (you will get screen artifacts n thats it)
2) if launch this cam... Take a pic, exit and open stock cam, your stock cam wont load until you restart the device....
TALKING ABOUT HONOR PLAY DEVICES
And overall HDR+ doesnt do crap when compared to HDR mode in stock cam app

Weird, I don't think HDR+ would ever be supported for Kirin devices
Honor play boys i have good news for you. I have just found the working gcam. Everything is working i will suggest you the setting
Only you have to tweak the two settings ie, saturation and input model
Instructions:
1. Download the modified Google Camera apk here
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/MGC_6.1.013_MiMAX2_V1b_A8.1+.apk
2. Install the app;
3. Give all permissions,
4. Go to settings, "BSG MOD" --> Input Model --> Pixel XL for Rear & Front
5. Restart the app and go to settings --> BSG MOD --> Saturation --> Back Camera : Highlight Sat to 2.0 and Shadow Sat to 2.6
Front camera: Highlight Sat to 2.0 and Shadow Sat to 2.6
6. Restart the app [needed]
7. Go to settings --> advanced --> turn On all the switches except HEVC/H.265 one.
8. Restart the app [needed]
Enjoy Google Camera on your Kirin Devices especially i have tried on Honor play

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.

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
INTRO
Here I will collect all the sources where I've found working APKs for the P20 and other APKs that work in other Huawei devices.
None of these are meant to work on Huawei devices. Theese have been tested on the EML-L29/EML-L09 EMUI 8
These might also work for other Kirin 970 devices, so give them a try.
Just so you know: the main goal here is to get HDR working. I don't care if Night Sight or Portrait mode doesn't work, the main goal is to get the best image quality for the Huawei Camera using Google's magic (HDR and HDR+).
===I'll edit this post if I find other ports that work or if I have anything important to add=== (Edited: 23/02/2020)
::Some important info about Camera2 API and Huawei devices::
The android.hardware.camera2 API provided by Google is needed for the Google Camera to work. Huawei devices tend to limit the functionality of this API, having little support for it and restricting functionality when installing third-party apps (e.g. FilmicPro or the GCam ports).
There are several levels of support for this API which you can consult in this app: Camera2 API Probe.
Since Android 9 (EMUI 9) updates began to roll out, Huawei devices (P20, P30, Mate 20, Mate 30, etc.) are on the LIMITED level (View P20's level support here). If you want to have the full functionality of the GCAM (ports by modders mentioned in this post) you need at least LEVEL_3 support, which Huawei won't have from now on.
If your phone has LEVEL_3 support, you can try any APK mentioned below or consult the latest mods posted in Celsoazevedo's page (Dev-Arnova8G2), which may work for your phone.
WORKING APK FOR HUAWEI P20/OTHER KIRIN DEVICES (Works only with EMUI 8 - Android 8.1.0, crashes on EMUI 9 - Android 9 users)
Some people might find interesting downgrading their phones to have the Google Camera. Here you have a quick guide on how to do it: Downgrading the P20
The best working Google Camera APK to this day is MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova_TlnNeun_1.2_test_fix_Exynos.apk (only tested on the P20, it might works for others too).
This APK provides partial HDR+ functionality, night sight (issues found on EMUI 9), portrait mode, Photo Sphere, Google Lens, video and panorama.
IMPORTANT: You need to tweak some things in the settings so it doesn't crash:
Open the settings
First go to "Advanced options" in the "Quick Settings" tab and go to "FIX" (at the bottom)
Go to "Viewfinder Format" and choose the "YUV_420_888" option
I have also set "Settings">"Advanced options">"Base">"Config" to "Pixel2018 ZslR HDR+" and "Settings">"Advanced options (at the bottom)">"HDR+ Control" ON to enable or disable HDR .
You can also try other configurations to see which one does better.
This should be enough to be able to take HDR photos, which a lot of the APKs mentioned below can't do, but if you try to take some photos you'll notice that the image lacks color. To fix that you'll need to:
Open the settings
Go to "Saturation". Change the value on "Highlight Saturation" and "Shadow Saturation" to your liking (for me 2.4 and 2.8 give the best results using the YUV format, but you can tweak it as you like)
You have a clear comparison in these images: HDR - No Saturation and HDR - Saturated w/ settings from above (it's a foggy day and the differences between the HDR and non HDR photos are minimal, but you get the point).
Thanks to @vov4arka for suggesting using the YUV fix and @Arnova8G2 and B-S-G for spending their time on porting the APK.
If you're an Android 9 user: This APK seems to have the HDR function working (L-G_cam.apk by harysviewty), but it's an older and modded version of the GCam. It is much worse than the APK mentioned above but it is the only one I've found.
OTHER AVAILABLE APKs
You can visit celsoazevedo's web, where you can find a ton of modded Google Camera APKs for every kind of device (Samsung, OnePlus, LG, Xiaomi, etc.). Huge shoutout to the web creator for providing this APKs, and also to the modders for their work on these mods.
For the P20, the working APKs that I've found are Google Camera v4.1.006.126161292 and MGCB_7.0H_C2API_v.4.0 (both stable on the P20):
MGCB_7.0H_C2API_v.4.0 has the HDR+ function but is disabled on the settings, if you enable it the app crashes.
The same version of the Google Camera v4.1.006.126161292 with HDR+ can be found here, but I think the HDR+ feature it's broken (you can see it in this thread (also stable on the P20):
[url]https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B7oAweIKkrytSXdJYkQ2NUtxS28[/URL]
If you only want the Google Camera because of the Panorama mode (I think the Google Camera is the best camera app to take panoramas), those should be enough.
Another APK that I've tried is GCMod5 1.7 from @Arnova8G2, it is a newer version (v5.1.018.177470874) and it has more features and some developer options:
[url]https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/GCam5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.7.apk[/URL]
This one has crashed a few times but everything seems to work fine (except for HDR, I can't see a difference between a photo with HDR and without it, so I guess it doesn't work either).
You can find older versions of the GCMod in here, for example, some betas and other versions (like the 1.6 or 1.5), but I haven't tested them on the P20 and I don't know if they'll crash right after you install them (as it happens with a lot of other APKs from that page) or they will work just fine.
In December 2018, @Arnova8G2 uploaded a new version of his Google Camera Port for the Huawei Mate 10, Mate 10 Pro and Honor Play, which have the same processor as the Huawei P20. I tried it on the P20 but it crashes (Android O and P). If you have one of these devices you can download it from here: MGC_6.1.021_V1d-Advances_test2.apk
The version V1d-Advances_test1.apk does not work as well.
APKs I'VE TRIED AND DON'T WORK (tested on EMUI 8)
I've tried a lot of APKs from celsoazevedo's page trying to find the ones that work on the P20. Here you have some of them (most of them crash before opening):
All of the APKs I've talked about before
P3v9.1_GoogleCamera_6.1.021.apk and previous versions
MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova_TlnNeun_1.2_Final_Fix_Exynos_kirin.apk, MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova_TlnNeun_1.2_Final_Fix2_Exynos.apk and MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova_TlnNeun_1.2_Final_Fix3_Exynos.apk. These are the only ones tagged as "kirin" in celsoazevedo's web at the moment (except for the TlnNeun_1.2_test_fix_Exynos.apk which I talked about before).
MGCB_7.0H_C2API_Full_PXL2_v.1.4_60FPS_noburst_v3.apk (Only for Android 7 devices)
Pixel 2 Mods from Arnova, like GCam-5.1.018-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.3b1.apk or GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.1.apk
GoogleCamera_5.2.025-Final_fu24-17_845Colorfix.apk and other versions from kokroo
MGCamera_5.1.0.18_R5Plus_v.5.1.6_fix_crash_slowmo.apk and all the other fixes that saneklic has on the version 5.1.0.18
OnePlus6_cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_v3.7.apk and v3.8.apk from the developer @cstark27. Some people say that v3.4A.apk works on the Huawei P20 Pro, but in the P20 crashes after few seconds.
Potter versions from san1ty, such as MGC_6.1.021_Potter_v6-san1ty.apk and previous versions
Except for L-G_cam.apk, all of the harysviewty GCam apks
TL;DR / Conclusion
Don't buy a Huawei device (not only the P20, any of them) if you want to get the most of its camera through GCam ports. All the restrictions that Huawei implements in their devices for the Camera2 API ruins any possibility of having full HDR+, Night Sight or other modes from third-party apps, like FilmicPro or GCam ports. If you have a Huawei device, you are most likely to be stuck with the stock camera app.
Despite this, there are some APKs that work partially with the P20 (and maybe other Kirin devices too):
The best one to this day is MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova_TlnNeun_1.2_test_fix_Exynos.apk (only tested on the P20 running EMUI 8, it might works for others too).
Other APKs that work for the Huawei P20 are the ones I mentioned at the beginning: Google Camera v4.1.006.126161292 and MGCB_7.0H_C2API_v.4.0.
Despite not having the HDR functionality, they work just fine as the Google Camera for panoramas, slow motion, photo sphere, video recording and lens blur.
Whenever they stop working (for example if you tune anything in the settings and the app crashes) reinstall the app or clear the data/cache.

This app works pretty well in my P20, if you choose "Viewfinder format - YUV_420_888(default)" in FIX section.
HDR+, HDR+ Enchanced, Night Sight and Portrait mode work perfect on the main cam. Front camera can only shoot video.
Front camera works on configs with (need YUV), but with this config doesn't work HDR+, HDR+ Enchanced, Night Sight on both cameras.

It's true, it works!
This APK works wonderfully on the P20 with the YUV fix. This is the only APK I've seen with the HDR function working on this Huawei.
However, do you have the same issue with the saturation on HDR photos? The images taken by the app come out almost in black and white, I had to tune the saturation setting to get it working right.
Also, I have added your suggestion in the post, I didn't notice this setting on that APK and it is pretty useful. Thanks!
One more thing. On 4pda those users who had got Android 9 found out that HDR doesn't work anymore on this version.
With MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova_TlnNeun_1.2_test_fix_Exynos .apk
Night mode does not work on 9.0.0.160, the camera app just closes itself when selecting Night Sight.
Quality post and great summary all the modded APKs. Thanked!
By the way, what version of EMUI are you trying these on?
I also cannot get Night Sight to work with MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova_TlnNeun_1.2_test_fix_Exynos .apk. I'm on EMUI 9.
Any working version for p20 pro? On this version aplication work on p20 pro but i can only rec movie or click panorama... In normal mode (portrait etc..) i have black screen
Works
Confirmed working and takes better pictures than stock camera in almost every situation. However, night mode is still superior due to noise reduction and slow shuttwr speeds. Great job finding this. Keep us posted if therebis a front camera fix!

I'm using Android 8.1.0 on EML-L29 (EMUI 8) and Night Sight works fine.
As @vov4arka said, some EMUI 9 users have reported issues with some features not working. I don't have the EMUI 9 update yet so I can't see what's not working, but you can try the APK's labeled as "kirin" on celsoazevedo's page to see if any of them works on that version.
However, I think that Huawei's Night Sight does a good job too. You can see it in the comparison attached below.

Have you changed all the settings that I mentioned in the post? It is necessary to have the YUV fix applied.

Actually I found that not only Night Sight is not working on this port, the camera actually close immediately whenever I take a picture in normal Photo mode. I'll see if I have time to test other kirin port in your post.
I tried one of them and then it crashed. The stock camera also crashed. After reboot stock works but the video camera can only record 720p. Had to clear data.

So far living having the Google camera on the P20. Had missed it ever since upgrading from my HTC U11.
Only issue is front facing camera. Works for video, but cannot take images. Anyone got settings that work?

Me too. Do you find any solution ?
Even though Huawei P20 has its own aperture & portrait mode on stock camera ,I was interested to see the quality of the GCam pictures on portrait mode, but I cant get it work. I press the shutter button but no picture is saved. I dont know why.
I am running my Huawei P20 on EMUI 9.

Have you changed all the settings that I mentioned in the post? It is necessary to have the YUV fix applied.
If you have changed all the settings and still doesn't work, try this:
I haven't tested it (I don't have the P20 Pro) but they say that it works

Ive tried the one you posted sir , but only video and panorama are working. Using my P20 Pro.
And then I also tried the one you quoted, but then only the v3.4A.apk works, but with no night sight like the other newer versions. hard to find any working gcam for P20 Pro. I thought the one you posted is also working but sad to say still needs a fix, btw, thanks for sharing sir. Keep it up, i'll just wait for another fix hopefully :good:
Same problem here, after i click shutter button gcam can't save pictures.Panorama and lens blur are working. But the camera itself it does'nt. Emui 9 and Android pie version here.
Hey everyone,
Just curious to know if it's possible to change the default camera an app is using? For example, on my Xiaomi Mi 9T, it uses the zoom lense in Google Meet, which sucks as I do present stuff via Camera and actually would prefer to use the ultra-wide lense. Sadly, Google Meet does not allow to switch the camera used (besides from front-camera and first back camera)
Is there any app / Magisk module / setting to change the order of the different cameras so that apps first use the ultra-wide lense?
Thanks
Try to add USB camera. Or connect web camera to computer or mobile. Now you will see two option. You can change default camera.
For that you need to root mobile.
Try Gcam mode software which are used on Google pixel.
