How to set GCam as standard? - Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers

Hello,
i tried to set GCam as standard, but I failed. I cannot change it to standard even if I disable the stock one. GCam not showing up in Default Apps -> Camera. After disabling the stock cam it just cannot open camera from lockscreen, so it doesn't recognize GCam as "true" App.
Any advice from your site?

The way I did it is I enabled the double tap power button to launch camera gesture, then the phone offered me to choose a camera app and use it as default.

And which phone do you have? I got a pocophone f2 pro and enabling doubling tapping the on off button to open the camera isn't working for me. There is still the problem, that gcam don't show up on the standard camera option

How to stop camera from taking photos when launching with volume key

Double tapping the volume key from lock screen fires the camera and takes a picture. How can I stop it from taking a picture so it only launches the camera app. I'm on the B106 firmware on a Middle Eastern unit.

Open the camera app and swipe from the right edge. Scroll down and you'll find it.
Definitely not there. Maybe because of an older OS? Attaching the screenshot.
You need to disable pro mode first to see this option.

Thanks. That worked.

Selfie photos Reversed..

I took a few selfie photos and the resulting photo is reversed (back to front). Any ideas how to resolve this? I've looked at the settings and cannot find the solution.
Does nobody know how to do this? I suspect you'll want to when you get one of these. I've checked all the camera settings that I can find (noting too that they are different dependant upon what camera mode you are in, and can find nothing .
Might be fixed in the next software update.
Mine are not reversed. I no selfie expert lol, but looks fine.
This is the setting on the 10 for that

Go into camera and make sure you are using the front camera. Then go into the drop-down menu and select settings - camera settings - there is an option for mirrored selfies.

I suspect those offering advice do not have the U11, or a different ROM. The photos below show the settings when in Selfie mode.
I too have an HTC 10 and the setting it has is missing on this handset, at least my one.

With all due respect, I am typing this from my U11 using stock rom.
Try scrolling down on the menu on your first thumbnail for more options

Thanks. There is no scroll bar so it appears as though you are looking at the only menu items, as per the screen capture.
Duhhh.

Edge Sense to launch another camera app, screen off

Hi,
I have set up Edge Sense to launch another camera app (the Google camera) on single squeeze. However, if the screen is off, it won't launch the camera app I chose. It just turns on the screen. It works with the default camera app. Any help?
Thank you.

Not possible. The "Start Application" option always requests the device to be unlocked. Once unlocked, the camera app should start.

You can set double power button press to launch camera instead of squeeze.
It doesn't need unlock

Portrait-mode Selfie

How do you take a selfie in portrait-mode (to get the blurred background)? It doesn't seem to do it when I take a normal selfie nor does there seem to be an option or setting on the selfie camera mode. When I go to the portrait mode, there in no option to switch to the front camera.
Any help would be great! I've looked all over for an answer.

You switch cameras first then go to portrait ?

Do you mean just open up the camera, switch to the front camera and then go to portrait? Cause when I do that it switches back to the front facing camera ?

It seems like that's not an option since the camera is a default app. Doesn't even show up in my apps in the play store.

Go to My Apps and Games from the menu in the top left of the home screen in the play store. Do you not see any updates available?

No I have it set on automatic and it says no updates available. I tried turning everything on and off as well just in case and checked on both WiFi and data connections

UPDATE: there is a cool feature I found under settings. Click support at the bottom and it allows you to chat with a support and then do a screen share. He did a troubleshoot for me and figured out that I am in fact running the version of camera that doesn't have the front facing portrait. He said the update is being released in batches and that is why it's not in my play store. Thanks everyone for your help!

Just that
This is happen after .86 update
If that's the case, then you would need someone to come up with a Magisk module or some other method to override the system. Sounds like they did it to avoid the lights interfering with the camera, which means they likely have no intention of it being optional.
