Hello xda, today I decided to go through all the processes of installing TWRP and CM 14.1 on my Mi5, I have been using MIUI8 for a month straight since I received it. I really about the camera on my phone, I am always using it, and as everything in software-hardware stuff optimization is always possible, so I decided to install CM in order to try all those camera ports. So far I installed the Oppo port, and HTC 10 port on the thread that is on the forum, both had some bugs and to be fair didn't look good, same on the stock CM 14.1 camera. I wanted to know if you have any advice on what is the best setup that you can have on your mi5 to get the best out of the camera on the phones, thanks for your advice.
Best camera experience ever i had on my mi5 on miui 8 rom. Rest of them ar very bad this is the only reason I'm using miui otherwise I would go with cm14
Try the camera from CM13. Seems decent enough.

I had a back up of my MIUI 8 and tried to restore it with TWRP, had a brick and now my phone is functional again. I love the auto focus of MIUI8 camera, it has got me some neat shots.
Try footej camera.

Hej,
as the Xiaomi Mi 8 supports project treble.
Can I just download a ROM from here and flash it?
Thank You very much
On the Redmi 4x you need a treble enable TWRP. Dont know if the Redmi is officially suppported by treble.
Maybe we can just flash with TWRP. Have to wait another 300 hours to try :/
The Xiaomi Mi 8 is a treble device, at least it was told that any device which is released with oreo running supports it. Also the treble check app says it supports is. (Only A partition) which seems to be normal with xiaomi devices
So I just flashed this ROM.
Seems, that Lineage does not yet know a notch
I hope that maybe android auto runs without the black borders... then I am gonna switch
Android auto runs on this ROM, but all those other problems... bad photo, screen brightness locked at 50%...

Any other issues?
Could not find a decent Camera app, the one installed is without hdr or portrait ... just basic photography.
Could not find a working Gcam for example

i think gcam had to be modded to work.
Did anyone try flashing a GSI on the Mi 8 SE?
I was told by a couple of people that flashing any GSI image on the SE caused a soft brick, so can anyone please confirm or disprove this?

Would you mind sharing your experience? What about fingerprint, and other hardware parts does everything work? Is it snappy? I'm really surprised it just works! Just amazing eagerly waiting for mine :>
Screen brightness is nailed to 50% and it cannot be changed, also Livedisplay does not work.
Also the just basic camera was a problem.
Hi! My mother is getting an X526 from Gearbest and I think that I will change the ROM when it arrives because she is more used to stock Android experience. Also, I watched some videos about this phone and the UI just doesn't seem right to me for whatever reason. I find it to be too Chinese and I think that my mom will not like/get used to it. (The videos I watched are from 2016 though, it may have been some improvement since then, idk) Can anybody give me opinions about EUI? Any feedback is really appreciated since LeEco is a new brand for me. By the way, these phones usually come with shop ROM's right?
Thanks in Advance
Sorry for bad english
You can install custom roms but the problem with every rom is not working camera(Stock) you can use footej or anyother camera. Leeco(RIP) is dead and didn't even provided us Nougat update. Don't mind but i think you should have gone with Any latest Xiaomi phone. Surely leeco Le x526 is currently best bang for your money but at cost of software experience.

Totally agreed.
I am using a LeEco Le S3 X522 as spare phone, and I recommend you to install the Official AospExtended Oreo version. It's the most stable AOSP rom, but as all AOSP roms the camera needs some tweaks to work. You should enable the camera 2 api and install OpenCamera or Footej to get at least some decent camera pictures.

Thanks for the feedback. I actually considered a xiaomi phone, but I found this phone irresistible considering the price... Maybe i did a bad choice... Hope not.

Thanks for the feedback. That's what I will do. I'm running AEX on my ZTE Axon 7 and I love it.
It has OLED, popup camera, underscreen FP, and the price is amazing
So why is the scene so small? so little ROM support?
Just asking

I'm asking the same questions. I mean, not even the newer XT has it all.
But perhaps because of it got squished by tons of new devices this year, devices that is given more promotion funds thus more the hype.
I just bought this device few days ago. I waited a couple of months so that the price dropped. Got this for basically USD$200
Weird because the XT and X2 are everywhere on youtube, maybe realme stopped production because of costs? that popup camera cant be cheap to make
I was about to buy it but I heard the stock ROM is reaaaaally bad, did realme say if its going to get official android 10?
And again if there was better custom ROM support I would buy this in a second

I hear ya. I'm currently on candyrom and it's very stable, currently my daily driver without any problems, and excellent battery life .. It's just on the first build so there are few wrinkles to be ironed out, realme has handed out devices to developers so expecting a stable solid build soon ?

Make sense. They must be loosing money on this device, thus they ditched the pop up cam and return to the drop.
But for me the stock ROM is rock solid. For the first time, I kept coming back to the stock ROM rather than all of the custom ROMs I've tried. Not that the custom ROMs are bad, it is just I keep on missing features of the stock ROM.
That said, I do wish that more dev would come in and create more and better custom ROMs for this great device.
???
It's been months since device has been handed to developers but still I can't see any great support except lineage os by @SagarMakhar

Mainly, the full-functionality of the stock camera app.
EDIT: Now I'm rocking AospExtended plus the latest GCam mods, so good by ColorOS!

Any bugs? is everything working?
This is my first mobile after a lollipop, and I am proud of it.
Hi,
I own ZUK Z2 Pro that I have unlocked, flashed with AOSP Extended v4.6 official and rooted many moons ago. I simply can't fault this device or this rom, but one thing - the camera quality is very poor. I know it was poor on official ZUI rom as well, so I had no regrets to move to AOSP Extended, which I am very happy with. And I would continue to use this outdated Nougat rom, but I am about to perform a factory reset, so I thought I could try something newer. However, I read the topics and some new custom roms are somewhat buggy. I can adjust / sacrifice some UI glitches providing the camera gets a quality boost with GCAM mod, which as far as I know is not supported on my old rom.
So the question I wanted to ask is. Are the new custom roms having a better google camera mod to what a stock ZUI app or old custom roms had? Is the gcam worth it? Is there a rom that you could recommend that fits with gcam mod well?

Yes, it's really worth it. I recommend updating to android 10 (PixysOS - https://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z2-pro/development/pixysos-3-0-4-official-zuk-z2-pro-t4080859).
I installed AEX, although it has good resources, I found serious problems and the above ROM seems to be the best.
You must follow the procedures, updating with original ROM - ZUI 4, and then updating with android 10, in order to use API2Camera.
I'm using this version of GCAM:
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog1150/
You have to configure it, front camera not to keep the photos with green tones, you can download an xml with the settings.
front camera Nexus6, and rear google pixel xl.
The difference of other cameras for GCAM (with correct configuration), is very great. You will have much better photos and videos.

Thank you so much for your input. From what I have read about all Android 10 custom roms for ZUK Z2 pro, they all suffer from some bugs and flaws. Whether that is going to improve - only the time will tell, but looking at how old this device already is, we may not see a great improvement.
As you have probably already gathered, I prefer older, more stable roms. Is the GCAM mod so good on Android 9 as well? And is the API2Camera available on Android 9? Thanks

Yes, all ROMs have little problems.
I was running Android 10, and I had a problem with magisk, and I needed to re-install the ROM urgently, as the android 9 files were stored inside the zuk, I ended up going back to the android pie.
I have a lot of activities, as soon as I have some time I will return to android 10, because I thought it was better.
The two ROMs that look best to me are Arrow and PixyOS.
AEX has great features, but it has several problems. I didn't test evolution-X.
GCAM, for me, works best on android 10. But yes, it also works on android 9.
My experience with android 10 (Arrow and PixyOS) were good and I recommend, I think this is better than the ROM with android 9.
In Zuk Z2 pro, between versions 8.1, 9 and 10, in my experience, the best ones are, 8.1 and 10.
As version 10 I can use the latest versions of GCAM, this will be my ROM.
Best version I found:
