Hey guys, I have had the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 for a while now primarily for the battery life and stock Xiaomi camera. Has anyone found a good AOSP ROM that has good battery life and supports ANX Camera? So far I cannot find a ROM with camera and battery as good as stock. Note: I do not want to use Gcam as face photos are better in stock

Hi,
How would you compare camera in Mi4c vs Galaxy s4 ? Is there any one who moved from s4 to Mi4c ? I have browsed all pages with pictures and comparison tools however cannot find real user experience. I am currently using sgs4 and camera is enough for me, however with new phone I would like to get a bit more Will I get it with Mi4C ?
Thanks
If I were in your place, I'd wait for mi5. S4 ain't a bad device
The only thing i liked about the S4 was the screen. The camera takes blurry shots 4/5 times and it lagged to no end. The Mi4c is worlds above it.
I had i9505 2 months ago I sold It and bought mi4c I think mi4c has a better camera as compared to s4 and if we talk about features of camera mi4c has awesome manual mode which s4 lacks
I agree with ermacwins. You should wait a little for mi5
hey, as far as camera is concerned the mi4c is miles ahead of the s4 (and it should be, actually, it's a flagship two years ahead !) i wasn't a sg4 owner but i have used it a lot and i'm also a previous xperia z owner (both share the same imx135 sensor) and i can safely suggest the mi4c as a camera update over the sg4. however if you are very interested in night photography mi4/mi note will suit you better (and of course mi5).
mi4c's imx258 is way ahead of s4, IMO the worst thing about mi4c's camera is the MIUI camera app itself - you've got plenty of options, but in worse light conditions it ruins 9 of 10 taken photos - a much simpler google camera takes much better pictures as it uses better exposure parameters and doesn't try to wipe out the higher ISO noise along with all the detail left
and yes, wait for the mi5 to appear - the mi4c price will drop making it even better buy
Hi, I come from a family of S4 owners but used a LG G2 instead.
The Mi4C takes much better pictures than the S4 (main reason being its fast PDAF focus). The processing is mature, it capures much more light in the same conditions as well and shutter lag is much less. Like the other people here, I advise you to wait for the Mi 5 release, but here are some pictures I took with my Mi 4c:

I remember reading your comments on the xda portal camera related on cm roms. If you havent tried cm13, try it now because it has a new snapdragon camera and it rivals the miui stock camera.

actually the miui app has proper manual controls and the g. camera has not. but yes, in auto mode your night shots come out both blurry and full of noise. (who makes the software? the camera picks 1/12 s.s. and 3000 iso ! tons of noise and shake too ! )

I'm on Team Superluminal's CM13. I'll definitely look into it. The stock camera of CM13 is horrible, it doesn't even support PDAF. At the moment I have to restore a MiUI build when I know I'm going to spend the day taking pictures, and revert back to CM13 afterwards. Thank you for letting me know, camera quality is the one thing that bugs me on AOSP.

Are you on the latest build because it was added with the ROM. I'm on a older build and had to flash the camera. There was some flickering but apparently fixed.
is there any gcam for redmi note 6 pro?
Hi, I've tried many different versions of GCam but this is the only one with a low level of noise (expecially in low light zones):
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog288/
It works perfectly, except for slow motion. Please set Nexus 6p as input model for front camera to avoid colour problems
With Experience Pixel rom, it works pretty well, the slow motion works.
I disabled HDR + and remove motion.
Night Sight works, slow motion works.
Must put in input model "Front camera Nexus 6P" because if no there are color problems.

GCam
Would you say either of these are better than the stock cam app?

I'm using it and it surely is far superior in my opinion in terms of the image quality. Regarding using the app itself is not such a pleasant experience i.e. the app is subject to FCs and sometimes the photos don't get saved on MIUI 10. However, there are quite a few apks out there and you can choose which works for you the best
Does gcam work on miui?
Specially night shots.
Is there any cam app that can take those night mode shots? Like the photos in honor 6x for example?
Hi, I'm considering getting a pixel 3 as the prices have come down quite a bit.
From my experience with oneplus and Sony the cameras aways take a massive hit when you flash a custom Rom. Given the gcam apk is available does the pixels have this or the gcam performance is the same whether or not it a stock Rom?
When you Install the gcam the quality is the same.
And when you Install an magisk modul the gcam has the same Performance, But even without this Module the Performance is Almost equal.The difference in speed is barely noticeable.
I am thinking of applying Pixel Experience Custom ROM or LineageOS ROM in my PIXEL 2 when they will be available with Android 12. Should I be concerned with the chance of the degradation of Pixel's camera quality? Does a Custom ROM harm the pixel photo capturing capability? Do the HDR+ work?

I've had much the same question, from what little bit of experience I have, there seems to be very little difference.
Cheers
1. Coming from a Redmi Note 4 (RN4) I know Xiaomi/Poco likes to source components like camera sensors, diplay panels and fingerprint sensors from different manufacturers. If you bought a RN4 half a year after release you got a worse camera sensor (Samsung instead of Sony) and display. What can I expect buying an X3 NFC at this point? Did you hear of worse displays and camera sensors being used? I'd like to have a sony sensor.
2. Does the Gcam on Custom-ROMs perform worse than on Stock MIUI (becauses of worse drivers maybe, I've read this somewhere)?
3. Are there 100% stable Gcams for this phone out there? I've always had crashes in bright sunlight with Gcam on my RN4.
4. Can we expect official LOS for this device soon?
Thanks

1. It's all the same hardware. From the very first reviews to the current point, nothing was changed.
2. I haven't heard that. GCam and ANXCam (stock MIUI camera for custom ROMs) have an own forum, so you may take a look.
3. GCams are pretty stable. If you had crashes in bright sunlight on your phone, you had the wrong version installed.
4. Looks like it. Take a look at the LOS thread.
I got a Poco X3 NFC myself 3 weeks ago to replace my Redmi Note 4X after 4 years or so:
Unlocking the bootloader is the same as for the Redmi Note 4X. Flashing a custom ROM for the first time was a little different than what I was used to but also very easy.
Currently I'm running ArrowOS with GApps pre-installed and I couldn't be happier. Super stable, everything works and has lots of features that are actually Pixel exclusive.
Running ArrowOS, you still get unlimited picture upload in Google Photos, for me example.
The last custom ROM I had on my Redmi Note 4X was AOSiP (Android 10) and ArrowOS feels exactly the same. It's pure Android with the addition of some Pixel features

@uiuiuiui
1. Incorrect. Poco X3 uses Tianma or Huaxing (TCL) panel. Huaxing is better by rule.
2. In photos, no, it takes much better photos. In video, stock camera is better because stabilization works properly. Anyone who says that Gcam video stabilization is much better than MIUI is deluded. Video stabilization in Gcam works in some ROMs, in some not. It works in some Gcam mods, in some not. But when you get it to work, it works horrible with a lot of judder and motion blur effects which are not present in MIUI camera. Gcam uses ROM camera drivers, but Gcam also uses special libs which makes the photo processing much better.
3. Yes, you can check out Gcam thread and try several mods including mine.
4. LineageOS for Poco X3 is developed by gardiol & he said that it won't take anytime soon to get official as he needs to rebase whole device tree for LineageOS 18.1 official. He also did LineageOS 17.1 for which he got approved for official device tree, but not the whole ROM.
I can't use miui at all, it droves me crazy, using pixel experience is incredible on this phone but the quality 9f the camera is awful, is there a way yet to port the original camera to a custom rom?
You can use ANX Camera white PixelExpierence - although you have to root your phone and not everything works a the moment...
