I have read about changing vendor build prop and using gcam with aux support. But I can't find gcam with aux support. If someone can shed a light on this/is it possible to activate the secondary camera would be helpful.
the_dise has recently launched v4.2 which supports aux switch with the help of magisk module. However the secondary 20mp camera output is just 5mp due to pixel binning

I've also installed the_dise gcam (he's on 4.3 btw) together with the magisk module but can't seem to switch to the second camera. Does your camera switch has another colour than white?

You have enable auxillary camera in advanced settings. Primary camera setup number by default is 0. Enable telephoto camera and camera number by default should be 2. Restart camera and you will have two white small white buttons to change camera.
And you need to have a magisk module for all of these things to work....so rooted phones with magisk only.
Just stock rom with cam2api enabled won't work.
By the way, parted ways from stock rom. Custom rom rocks

I have cam2api and magisk and aux options set but still don't see those buttons.
Stock might be the issue. I'm still on Stock Pie November. Maybe it works on Q, but I was thinking to
convert to custom rom anyway; thinking about pixel experience or lineage os. What are you on so I'm sure gcam works fine?

I am actually on Extended UI rom. Gcam works great. No problem. It's a stable rom with Xiaomi parts containing screen vibrance and audio settings which actually is great. Just look for the rom video to get detailed idea. I personally don't like updating rom every 2-3 wks. Instead need a complete stable rom. If you need stable MIUI cam, message me. I have ANX camera luffitys build which is officially now not available. And everything works great in that camera too

I'm on Pixel Experience for a few days now, no need to install gcam enabler, the_dise version works out of the box, aux enabled through magisk also works now, although the second cam is not worth it, I just wanted to test
And off topic again, damn, why have I waited so long on stock, custom is soo much smoother!

And if I cover the 20mp sensor it doesn't effect the camera at all. So, the app is not using my secondary sensor. And there is no option to activate it after enabling all the auxiliary buttons.

Version Google Cam V4.0
ROM: Xiaomi.eu 9.22
Settings: See picture attachments below
What doesnt work:
HDR+ with Flash On
Autofocus
Tap to focus
Manual Focus Fix:
Swipe left to go into video mode and tap to focus before going back into picture mode
It have the same main camera sensor as Mi 6 which also do not have autofocus and touch to focus to work.
It's quite annoying when it doesn't have HDR+ and autofocus together, hope it can be fixed in future version

how is the mix2 with this, any samples? im considering this because ive had enough of the s8 and want pure android with the performance to boot, where as the s8 just doesn't cut it but the camera is amazing
Autofocus doesnt work with HDR/HDR+ enabled. The camera works fine with auto focus without HDR features. I HDR+ is the reason why you want this mod then we are out of luck, its no better than the default MIUI cam.. may be a tad better NR processing on low light images.

Are you sure auto focus works for the default cam app when having HDR enabled? It doesn't at least for me. Thus I see no difference between GCam mod, Oneplus camera and default camera. Also, manually focusing seems to work without the left swipe.

So, I am writing this based on my experience on my Mi6 (Mi Mix 2 still has a locked bootloader for now), when you activate the HDR+ the autofocus will die, at that point you focus in Video mode, go back to Photo and take the picture.
In that way the HDR+ is working properly and as expected. You just need to keep your hands steady.
Also, on Mi6 has been reported that the Autofocus is working now with the latest version (with some bugs and messing around with the OmniVision module):

How do you get this APP worked?
I'm on LineageOS 14.1, already added "persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1" with a magisk module, and 'getprop | grep camera' shows it's enabled, but the APP you provided still keeps force stopping. neither can Camera2 Probe from playstore detects any information about Camera2 API.
Could you please give some advice on my issue? Thank.
BTW, I see GCAM 5.1 is for 8.0+, so are you on LineageOS 15.1?
Update: Seems something's wrong with my ROM... It works now, but can you use HDR+? Which profile did you select?
Update 2: Camera is broken if I add "persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1", even AIDA64 can't detect the camera, so forget about Camera2 API...
I see no HDR option, does that mean HDR is just automatically on or that it hasnt' been added in yet?
Keep up the good work!

Portrait mod requires camera2api enabled. Almost of the moto doesn't have it enabled by default except those with OS 7.1+.
Try with latest custom rom.

Its showing app doesn't compatible with your device ..I am using AOSP ext 7.1.2
Works on stock 7.0 for photos. Had to lower to 720p for video. Would be nice to get 1080p working for video.
As mentioned by others; can't find HDR(+).
Installed the latest APK on my Moto X that is running stock 7.0.0. I can get portrait mode to work by switching the camera from back to front to back.
I read a few threads about the modded camera app and dont see how to enable Camera2API. Any suggestions?
EDIT: Is there an option to have Pics saved directly to the SD card? I dont see it under "settings"
EDIT2: Looks like I need to edit build.prop and enable "persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1".
EDIT3: After editing the build.prop, the Camera app stopped working. It just showed a black screen.
Non of them support HDR.. I'm sticking with Moto Camera.
Not work on Moto X Play

I could install the app with luckypatcher. New iu feels fresh and nice. But it looks like a portrait mode on a frontal camera doesn't work properly, it blurs everything.
UPD: the portrait mode works, it needs Ratio 4:3 to be set.

It is now on the PlayStore - as Camera 7.2. If you have an earlier version installed (unmodded, of course), update. For me (Pixel 3a), the biggest gain is still NightSight; if I needed the AstroPhotography mode, the same improvements that show up in NightSight would be useful there, too. My biggest quibble is the same one that was present with the previous Camera app; motion is on by default.. (Where I'm curious is WHY it's on by default - the default with other OEM/ODM camera apps is to shoot stills.) Because of the NightSight improvements, it's a worthwhile update for the Pixel 3a and earlier - especially if you take low-light shots - and given the time of year, you likely will.
So, anybody using Cstark's PXv4.x camera mod on the Pixel 3a? Are there major improvements?
Does this install alone or does it replace stock cam?

I use it, works great, no issues found, but i did not made many pictures..
It installs as a new package, so you can use booth (or deactivate Google Camera wo you'll only have one in your app drawer)
PRO:
- set portrait zoom to 1.5 instead of 3.0
- Astrography mode switch
- many more settings to try out
CONS:
- Selecting Google Lens does not work, but you can use it easily from the app in the Playstore.
Just install it and try it for yourself, if you don't like it, you can uninstall it in a breeze.

These camera apps will install as a second camera. They do not replace the stock camera app and they can both be installed at the same time (just like any other 3rd party camera app). You can select the PX Camera to act as the default camera, but the OEM camera is available in the apps draw.
I'm running Camera PX 4.1 (version 7.2.014) right now. It adds a bunch of extra settings that are definitely helpful. One of the best features is bringing back Smart Burst mode (where the camera takes a series of high quality images while you hold the shutter button down). This was taken away by Google when they introduced the dumb video feature which only provides one high quality image and the rest are really low quality.
It probably won't make a noticeable difference in picture quality for normal pictures, but might in night or astro mode.
The only "downside" or feature not working in PX 4.1 is the "Google Lens" function. Selecting that mode doesn't actually do anything. I have to use the OEM camera right now if I want to use Google Lens. Hopefully that bug is fixed in the next version. Everything else works as expected.
Wow...
Gcam apk for my Pixel device???
*Do we need to root to use this?
Thanks
Hi guys.
Pixel 3a with December 2019 updated on Android 10.
No Rooting done.
I also have a MiA3 with gcam apk installed.
The selfie on MiA3 with gcam come off better than on my P 3A.
Why is that? They have better dynamic range and details as well(on zooming).

Little off topic, but i thought the same about my nokia 7 plus with GCam.
Thing is the fixed focus on the pixel front cam. You need to hold the phone more far away to get nice selfies.
Try the modded version mentioned in this topic. i think Cstark made improvements to the front cam too

Thanks for replying.
But I had Pixel 3 before 3A(switched due to atrocious battery life), and even in that I felt that the selfie camera was ok.
The situation with my 3a is similar to my friends iPhone 11, great back camera but ok front one.
Oh well....

These camera apps will install as a second camera. They do not replace the stock camera app and they can both be installed at the same time (just like any other 3rd party camera app). You can select the PX Camera to act as the default camera, but the OEM camera is available in the apps draw.
I'm running Camera PX 4.1 (version 7.2.014) right now. It adds a bunch of extra settings that are definitely helpful. One of the best features is bringing back Smart Burst mode (where the camera takes a series of high quality images while you hold the shutter button down). This was taken away by Google when they introduced the dumb video feature which only provides one high quality image and the rest are really low quality.

Nothing special really......
I have "4k Smart Burst", "Restore Smart Burst" turned on and "Super Res Xoom Always On". Portrait Zoom set to 1.5x. "AI AWB for HDR+ Enhanced" turned On and "AI AWB for Night Sight" turned on.
I don't do anything with Lib patcher. I figure the stock settings are about as good as they are going to get.
Oreo: Gcam5.1 , Gcam6.1
Stock Pie/AOSP rom: Gcam6.2 Arnova, trCamera7.2, Burial 7.3, Wichaya, Nikita 7.4

This is Gcam 6.2 version, it works flawless, no issues anymore (green tint front cam fixed, Night sight in very low light issue fixed, more)
Link for Download:
www(dot)celsoazevedo(dot)com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog666/
Need some change settings to make app work flawless:
1. Enable Advanced mode in About settings
2.Change Main and Back camera to Pixel 3 XL
3. go to HDR+ control > Fix device session.
-RAW format = RAW10
-Image format = YUV_420_888
-enable "Use Restart"
Link: imgur(dot)com/gallery/KV5JC0W
*For Ultra wide angle*
Just enable "AUX button" in setting , then in viewfinder you will see a new button on the bottom right.
Note: *enable "Light Tail Switch" can fix Ultra wide len in Night sight. But it will make your photo blurry because of not steady while taking photos, this option need to use tripod. You also can leave it enable in setting then just turn off toggle on the viewfinder . (Recommended turn it off)
Everything is working fine now
Because i'm new member in XDA so i can't post with link, sorry for inconvenient.

I've tried this and now this is my main camera app that i use. No issues so far
Camera is not taking photos with hdr disabled and/or with flash enabled. Flowless? No but much better.
I can't use video recording. lens does not turn on. Is there a solution?

Mine work fine, wide/ultra can take video recording as normal, even Time Lapse and Slow motion also work.
But video only can take at 30fr even change to 60fr.
I can't use video too! There's some solution?
EDIT: I swiped cache and dalvik and video recording is working.

Well, it should appear in one of the main sections after you enable the advanced options (in the About menu option). If you've done that and still can't find the option... It's weird.

It still doesn't work. This is what I have:
Code:
vendor.camera.aux.packagelist=com.dual.GCam,com.Wide.GCam,com.Tele.GCam,org.codeaurora.snapcam,com.android.camera,com.google.android.GoogleCamera
Probably because I have LiquidRemix rom?
