MI 5s camera mods [Updated: 1st Feb 2018]

Hi all..
This is a fix for the broken implementation of camera 2 API on our device.
This will allow us to finally shoot up to 32 sec raw image in camera 2 API and also enables up to 100k ISO...
Much love and respect to @defcomg for fixing this for us, he is an amazing dev and if you would like to donate to him you can hit this link!
NOTE:
This mod will probably only work on Lineage and 7.1.1+ ROMs. I've tested it on latest RR (16 June) and it works.
Don't flash on MIUI ROMs, I haven't and probably won't test it, but feel free if you are brave :laugh:
Make a backup (TWRP). Or if anything goes wrong just reflash ROM, it'll fix your problem.
I take no responsibility for brick or boot-loop...
LINK:
V1 - Initial [LOS/RR etc..]
V1 - Test (I need someone to tell me if this works) [Miui N ROMs]
V2 - Nightmode profiles [11 December]
V3 - Oreo Libs [1st Feb]
For future versions I would like to try to add longer exposure times as well as fix pixel binning for better low light shots!
Edit:
16 June: There is a delay when shooting long exposure, for example when selecting 32 sec, the shutter button will be pressed for like 32sec x 2 = +-64 secs, don't know why but anyways it only shoots for first 32 seconds, so just be aware of that..
19 June: Fixed Miui N test lib link
11 Aug: Nightmode coming soon, this will allow longer shutter speeds, essentially up to about 5 mins
Also all apps should be able to take advantage of this.
11 Dec:
Added libmm shutter extension and pixel binning.. The respective number (3, 9, max [14]) multiplies the shutter by that amount, meaning if you have an app that normally can only capture up to 1/17 shutter, and use 3x lib it will now use 3/17 shutter (almost 0.2 sec), this affects all video and photo apps, you can restore it by replacing original file..
Oreo has a busted HAL so shutter on manual only hits about 4 sec without breaking, using max libmm mod you can get about 1 min shutter I think, in nougat using fixed cam 2 libs, you can get about 7 min shutter time.
Pixel binning is somewhat working, it has a dark preview, and I don't know why, but when you shoot in raw, you will see the file is much brighter with less noise, but at lower res.
Place the file in /system/vendor/lib then reboot the device
NOTE: The HAL fix from above (V1) will not work on Oreo since it's using a new HAL, so don't use that, if you don't know or are unsure..
1st Feb 2018: Patched Oreo libs to allow long exposure. Added libmm multiplication hacks.
Gonna be away till like mid Jan, so might not be able to answer questions..

Good work ?

Can the default snap camera take advantage of this api2 or another camera app has to be used?

Could he fix the Google camera force close when change to front camera, thanks

I use snap camera for front camera, no problem there, I don't know how to fix Google camera errors..
With regards to slow motion, 120 FPS should be working on FreeDcam

I'm on miui 7.6.15 xiaomi.eu build(android n)....ive flashed your patch via twrp....and really nothing happened....camera still working like before....no new mods in there....like its really for aosp...can confirm that its dont break your camera in miui...but also its doing nothing in miui....in my opinion

You don't happen to have samples of stock camera vs freedcam?

I don't use stock camera, I use FreeDcam raw mode, and when I shoot jpeg, I shoot with denoise off. So with stock you will see less noise in images, but freeDcam will have much more details

Check the OP, all this mod does is enable 32 sec shutter on Cam2 api and adds ISO 100k. It doesn't add quality/features or mods to the camera..

FreeDcam app specially for Mi 5s

Is it possible to enable iso lower than 100? Or maybe it's pointless because it's achieved by software, and the quality will be worse than 100? So can we conclude that lineage (or some other) roms are better than MIUI? I'm thinking moving to these roms.
By the way, it seems that the link on the first post was incorrect (miui one), the later ones are working though.
---------- Post added at 08:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 PM ----------
I'm on miui 7.6.15 xiaomi.eu , got upto 8714 iso with snap camera. Stock remains 3200. Still 16 bit raw Still 1/3 s shutter with 3rd party camera apps, though I heard someone already has shutter longer than 1s with 3rd apps. I don't remember have flashed any other patches especially related to cameras
With los, Lightroom could have shutter 1s, but iso up to 100k, I don't know if it really works, as it's white paper after 10k anyway.

isnt it possible to use Pixel libs?

Google Camera for Op7 Pro

Hello everyone, I am creating this thread to provide the stable and beta builds of gcam, to avoid confusion and to keep the forums clean.
Thank you @S4turno(Celso) for hosting, mirroring, translating and sharing all a to z Gcam..
Special Thanks to @Arnova8G2 for all his support and hardwork !!!!
FAQ GOOGLE CAM-
I CAN'T INSTALL X VERSION, WHY?
Make sure you uninstall every other GCam Port on your phone. You can't have two 6.1 gcam versions installed.
HOW DO YOU SWITCH BETWEEN CAMERAS?
https://drive.google.com/file/d/127r0_UNKMNY5MN5OrWYZISEleK8cZj4x/view?usp=drivesdk
HOW DO YOU USE NIGHTSIGHT WITH THE DIFFERENT LENS?
Select the lens in main mode, switch to Night Mode, then double tap the Camera Switch Button.
WHY THE FRONT CAMERA IS 4MP AND BACK CAMERA 12MP ?
Selfie camera uses pixel binning, same as for the main sensor. Since camera2api implementation only delivers a 4MP raw stream (16MP/4 = 4MP because of pixel binning)
GCam can only work with what raw stream the API delivers.
Same goes for back cam.
WHICH GCAM IS THE BEST ?
There is no best gcam. There are stable and beta builds which work fine for daily usage, but not the best. There may be some crashes here and there.
WHICH XML IS THE BEST ?
The xmls provided in the folder whose link is given below are the best at the moment.
HOW TO USE XML ?
A link to Celso Azevedo site is given below which clearly explains how to import and export xmls.
Mod Edit: Link removed
WHY COLOURS ARE DULL ??
Sometimes the settings may not be applied by the xmls, and in 6.2 gcam, you need to manually set saturation levels.
Also changing awb can help.
Use the xml.
Use the settings from the given screenshots for 6.2 gcam.
WHY CAMERA CRASHES ?
Changes in libs may cause crashes, in such a case clear app data.
WHY AUX CAMERAS ARE NOT WORKING ?
You need ROOTED DEVICE for now to use aux cameras.
METHODS TO USE AUX CAMERAS- There are 2 methods:-
1) Setting selinux to permissive by-
1a) Using nfs injector magisk module or renovate ice magisk rom.
1b) Using custom kernels like Kirisakura or Smurf
2) Installing gcam as a system app-
2a(Install any of the 6.1 gcam app as a standard user app by installing the apk as you would normally.
2b)Open the camera app and enable the usual set of permissions (local storage, camera, etc.)
3)Use the magisk module given below
https://drive.google.com/file/d/19lwuT8koKQG3dod9nW2xzVHxWGQR-K3W/view?usp=drivesdk

The link below will provide the Gcams working-!!
THERE ARE 1) XCAM BETA 11
2) GCAM 6.2 WITH XML SUPPORT
3) GCAM 7 BETA
IN THE FOLDERS WHICH THE LINK BELOW PROVIDES !!
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1-FAjRY4S5PIBnL2vsf0Fm-pVw3QwOi2s
Another link for xmls-
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/oneplus-7-pro/
*These are the stable gcam, everything works perfectly except slow motion, stable for daily usage, also they support auxiliary cameras.
If you want to use aux cameras in
night sight and video mode, use xcam.
TO USE XML ON 6.2, LOAD XML TWICE!!
A quick guide on how to use xmls. -

Thanks to @S4turno
Urnyx 6.2 (No XML SUPPORT)(STABLE)-
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/GCam-6.2.030_Arnova8G2_Urnyx05-v2.4.apk
Urnyx 7.2 (No XML Support)(STABLE)-
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/GCam_7.2.010_Urnyx05-v1.3.apk
Star Cam based on Gcam 7 (STABLE)-
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/GCam_7.0.009_StarCam_v1.apk
*For gcam 6.2-
Firstly, after installing apk, go to settings, go to about and enable "Enable Advanced Mode"
*For 6.2 Urnyx gcam-
It is a simplistic mod, not much to edit.
Guide:
- How to use manual controls?
- First of all, you must use HDR+ Enhanced. Then, enable the options in settings to show the sliders (only the 1st time). When you are in viewfinder to take a photo, click on "Pro" button to join the pro mode, where you can see all the sliders. Now, you can set any values you want. At the end, tap on the screen to apply changes (otherwise it won't work)
NOTE-
1) Only this version of 6.2 supports xmls-
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/Gcam_6.2.030_Advanced_V2.2.2beta2.190907.0540.apk
2) Slow motion doesn't work for now.
3) Lens distortion in wide lens.

Do your versions support 4k video @ 60fps in normal and also in ultra wide mode?
The version of the other thread can switch to 60fps but actually the video is still recorded at 30

Hey, yes the 4k 60fps works but only with main cam, 4k works with aux cameras but only on 30fps.

Thank you...

Thanks! This works great....running intl version rom on tmobile op7pro with elementalX kernel... Used the desaturated xml, looks good. Also turned down saturation for main back camera as it was still a tad high....its weird because in viewfinder(screen) it looks ok, its only when the photo is processed is where saturation gets boosted....those settings are under "advanced" " highlight saturation" 1.3 and for "highlight shadows" 1.1 .....for anyone that wants to know. Also turned up jpeg quality to 100

Maybe this is a stupid question, but where is the apk file located initially?

Difference - do you mean picture quality or colours?

Hello,
I am assuming that everyone knows the workaround for:
1. Gcam not opening (crashing) on some versions 7 .0 or 6.2.
2. Screen freeze while in Picture mode
3. Neutral colours.
These can be fixed through settings or developer settings . Still if someone needs help, I would be glad to help (provided camera version is compatiable or even partially compatible with RM5P).

Freeze happens once you open settings (in some versions).
Please do this (and this procedure will work on many other versions too)
Settings/Other Settings/ViewFinder Format
Select "JPEG"
Even if it is JPEG-reselect it again and go back.
Worked?

I messed up with the settings and It works fine now after deleting cache and data of the app, another thing is can't switched off the values on display there's no setting to turn it off and luckily I managed to disabled the use of google photos in viewing the photos which is too slow

Finally I disabled the autofocus values on the viewfinder

hi thanks for sharing it other functions are working?

Will have to check
Well as far as i know lens changing is not working, full zoom fc, others will have to see

All three lens are functional. Thanks

For me this mod is crashing on launch. I was cleaning app data.

front camera crashes app when on portrait mode
.

Works pretty werll despite being in a light polluted metropole

Thanks for sharing, i can confirm it works on 7 pro ob7.
Btw i shared the exact same apk on a telegram group for our device, i think there was a guy named "sir tavares", she insisted on that astro cant be done on op7pro, go buy pixel etc. Then she banned me when i shared the apk to the group ?
just be careful guys this type of people are toxic in your life beware of them and their group.btw i have screenshots of his language i can share if anyone wants to see it.more like "sir moron".

Hmm, it must be some combination of Bliss Rom/kernel that is enabling a different menu and front Portrait. I'm on stock 10.3.0.
I read in another thread that the GCam app needs to be a system app (in the system/priv-app folder) to enable access to the aux cameras. I tried moving the app folder there, but it just moved itself back after a reboot. I'm seeing if I can move the app some other way. Not sure if any of those Magisk modules from your screenshot would help with the app settings.
Edit: successfully converted the app to a system app using the App Systemizer Magisk module. Made no difference for the settings (still don't see options for aux cams). Oh well, must be a rom/kernel issue. Thanks for you help!

Thanks for this. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for the Parrot version, only the Urnyx. The colors on the Parrot version are pretty bad, and the selfie cam won't work (3/4 cameras not working) so I've switched to Urnyx, and have the tele/zoom/selfie lenses all working now, but lost Astrophotography. Oh well, I give up.

For me, the colors on the PMGC 7.2.014 were terrible (initially pale, unsaturated; improved a bit with saturation settings) but I just couldn't get the white balance right.
I've attached 4 pics: Stock 10.3.0 cam (default), Stock 10.3.0 HDR forced on, Urnyx05 7.2.010 (1.6), and PMGC 7.2.014.
(Note: It seems you can get different settings based on your rom/kernel, so your results may vary.)
I preferred the Urnyx05 7.2.010 (HDR always on) slightly over Stock with HDR (though, depending on how you like your shadows, you might even prefer stock). The color accuracy between these 2 was the same. Stock without HDR didn't handle shadows well, and PMGC needs settings adjusted before it's functional.

The above review and attached screenshots refer to the main camera. I just realized you were asking about the aux cams. I compared the Stock HDR vs Urnyx Gcam HDR (I suspect the PMGC will have similar results as the Urnyx after adjusting the color/saturation settings):
Telephoto (Zoom): Stock starts "3x", Urnyx Gcam is labelled "2x" but is showing only a slightly wider field of view than stock. Stock appears to be zooming/cropping some of the native image. Color accuracy is about the same. Default settings in Gcam make the picture undersaturated (like PMGC), but given the Lib Patcher settings, contrast & saturation can be boosted to match stock. About a tie here once you play with the Gcam settings.
Wide: Once again, Stock cam crops/zooms into the native image more, so the Urnyx Gcam has a wider image. However, Urnyx Gcam makes no lens correction and the edges are pretty distorted. The colors on this lens showed the most difference, with the stock being slightly more saturated with a much better HDR result, while the Urnyx Gcam is lighter/less saturated (likely adjustable in GCam's additional settings), but not a great HDR output. Stock cam wins here, with the significantly better HDR and lens correction. (Note: attached images are cropped for privacy; upper-right ~75% of the image is shown)

portrait, video and settings work, just open this mode by long tap on the icon.
So It's probably just something to do with xml settings.

Anyone found out the best config for our device? I tried the one @dannejeanne posted and i think it looks better than xiaomi camera, but the app is not working good enough for me to switch to it for daily use..

Hi people,
I'm also looking for a working version of GCAM for the Xiaomi 13 (fuxi), I'm quite surprised that I haven't come across any comprehensive thread yet that addresses this. Or there was even an XML config for this model.
From my own testing, I can write about the functioning of these versions:
Tested on Xiaomi 13 (fuxi), MIUI Global 14.0.22.0 TMCEUXM, Android 13 TKQ1.220905.001
Camera2 API export for Xiaomi 13 (fuxi)

I've only tested the versions by BSG, BigKaka and Shamim - so if I'm talking about these three developers and specifically mentioned versions - then in my given configuration only BSG's version MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV2b is fully functional.
I am communicating with the developer Shami, hopefully he will be able to solve the problem of the app crashing when switching to video mode.
