Modded Google Cam on Mix 2

Created this thread to share working settings for our Mix 2 + IMX 386 on the latest Modded Google Cam. Feel free to share your working setups for Google Cam
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

You can manual focus using this workaround: Swipe left to go into video mode and tap to focus before going back into picture mode

Does the new version of Google GCam mod support Autofocus yet?

Has anyone tried the Google Camera v5.1 yet?
Link: https://www.androidcentral.com/pixe...motion-photos-and-other-features-working-some

I tried to install google camera,installed successfully,but stop working. keep give me error. so I can not run it.

If you want to test the latest versions for Modded Google Cam, check the MIi6 thread related to this, there are regular updates as soon as they are released by the original modders:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-6/themes/google-camera-hdr-t3655762

What I found out: The Oneplus Camera also works on Mi Mix 2.
Also I think this is the original thread for the modded Google Camera: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/modded-google-camera-hdr-60fps-video-t3658552/ and it works for the Mi Mix 2 too.

Does not work for me. Are you on miui or custom rom? Which version of gcam worked for you?

MIUI EU ROM and Magisk + Camera2 API Enabler Magisk Module

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):

My Autofocus works with HDR+ on, I got the APK from the mi 6 thread (b-s-g camera).

Ok, I've been testing the kenzo build, but same error, autofocus stop working with HDR+ on.
By the way, I think anyone must work on this for our device... the differences betweet photos taken with MIUI camera and Google Camera are very big...
This is with Google Camera on HDR+
This is with MIUI Camera on HDR

As can be seen, the HDR+ post processing is very much better than MIUI original.

Yes Lens Blur is present and working.

I'm using V8.3 build 5.1.018.177624777 without problems. Should I remove that and then install it? Also what changes are present between the version I'm using and this? The existing version is working great, and the reviews for this current build have been mixed based on the comments here. Please guide.

v 8.3.b1 is the most stable till now, albeit without night sight.

I think 4k video recording has EIS support in the app. As the video is getting cropped in when video stabilization is enabled. Can anyone verify it

Only the Viewfinder is stabilized and not the actual video. The video recording which is saved is without EIS. as our hardware doesn't support 4K video stabilization.

I agree. I took this one with 8s 1600ISO on the regular camera lens and this was easier to get than a gcam version. Also with manual controls a lot is possible.

I m on havoc os 2.8 pie . About the exif , do I have to upload the original picture? Because this one is from google photo s unlimited backup , so it's resized . I also noticed that , as said in a previous post , gcam can only expose the sensor for 10 seconds in night sight mode , instead of 32 with the original xiaomi s app , so maybe this one could be actually better

Face Retouching (Skin smoothing) not working in Portrait mode.
Please suggest some settings without losing Portrait mode..

Some new versions from The_Dise :
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/a...e_dise/#apk881
As from V3.3 it is not exclusively Android 10 but now also supports Android 9 Pie !
Testing V3.4 now.

Portrait mode on the back camera won't work for me. It just considers them burst shots. It doesn't even attempt to process the photo to add blur.

Force close on Havoc OS 3.0
