Apparently you need the non ZSL version for it to work on non oreo devices. Would be cool to see if anyone has found a working version.

Found one I think works:

On miui9 dev rooted.

That one although installed and seemed to work, the portrait mode did not seem to be functional and it was very buggy.

Does the Google Camera HDR+ Port work on Mi Mix?

I noticed recently on the XDA page this came up:
https://www.xda-developers.com/google-camera-hdr-customization-raw-support/
It mentions at the bottom of the article that there is a specific version for SD821.
Would this work with the Mi Mix? Does it need API2 enabled? Does it make a difference?
Thanks!
I have google camera v3.7 working with HRD+ but when you enable API2 by editing the build.prop it stops working and crashes
Thanks, does it make much of a difference?
It works perfectly on custom ROM's such as RR, LOS, Viper OS, etc.
I used mainly because of RAW support and Googles HDR+ is really great, definitely worth giving it a try!
Yes.
How do you install it? I get a message saying it conflicts with an existing package.
I uninstalled the existing camera app via titanium but it didnt help.
I am on the latest RR.
Thanks

google cam 4.4 with hdr+ crashing

hi,
my mother, aunt and uncle all use the redmi 4x. I installed xiaomi.eu 9.1.2.0 on my mother phone + magisk + api module and gcam 4.4 hdr+. everything works. stock cam, gcam.
my aunt saw the photos and wanted the same so I did. everything the same, works aswell.
now my uncle wanted the same and I installed but with newer version 9.2.1.0. stock cam crashes. gcam crashes aswell. without api stock cam works.
now I updated my mother to 9.2.1.0 too, stock cam stopped working but gcam still works. so how I get the gcam to work on my uncles phone??
thanks in advance
Stock camera stopped beign compatible with camera2api since 7.12.28 update, so every new update has this problem including the latest global stable. Till now the only way to fix this is installing modded miui camera or rollback to miui 7.12.21 or a previous version. For gcam, I'm not sure why it doesn't work in one of your phones, but try this one with manual focus, you can take photos with portrait mode in front camera too.
In fact I was in oreo, but decided to give another try to miui, since oreo still has a annoying bug with multitouch even now that it's pretty much stable. So now I have miui.am. not the official miui. But I can confirm that both cameras work. Only problem for me is that miui camera has less options for some reason, I still need to test. And in gcam everything work just fine, I can use all the options like camcorder, face retouch and portrait mode in front camera without any crash or need to change settings, like before in oreo. Only problem is that you still need to set the iso manually.
Give it a try if you want, this is the modded miui camera: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74893764&postcount=1431
A mirror of the gcam with manual focus, because they deleted the original link: https://mega.nz/#!H5UgUKBZ!wBsXz5fbpPRREooq5-WcNsd0Tdfkit-yQcyOapMo464
And I will attach my settings. Also if you don't mind to much about miui, you can install latest unofficial RR luis build, it has already miui and google camera, and both work fine.
To use portrait mode in front camera, you need to adjust the iso with the left scroll to any value between 800 and 3200. Just don't let it on auto.

mine uncle got it to work but with nexus 6p settings, your settings gives him a black screen. do you have a autofokus version? no auto fokus in videos is noticable.
I have the same version that I posted to you, from the mega link. Tbh I'm not sure what makes some version work on certain roms, while in other doesn't. Im using clarity kernel, but if I'm not mistaken it worked also on stock kernel. On miui eu it worked fine for me too

thats weird that I have 0 problems on my mothers phone but uncle got always 1 problem. I can use your config on my mother and it works. on uncle it's black screen. then he can use camera with nexus 6p config but then front cam not working. I think I read that many xiaomi phones got diferrent displays / fingerscanner / cams etc.

Yeah, that may be the cause. It's common to see the same redmi 4x with different hardware like screen type, fingerprint sensor and even the led, some has only white led when others have full rgb led like mine.
Anyway, check here. There is a lot of gcam's versions. With some luck, one of them will work on your uncle's phone.

Yeah, unfortunately it didn't work well for me too. I tried to see if arnovaG82 would fix it, but seems like not. So righ now I'm on Multipro 7.12.14 build, with little but nice customization, but more important both cameras work fine.
This modded camera seems like it doesn't work well on miui roms for some reason. I tried it on newest and some old miui builds, and neither worked fine. I'm not sure why, I can remember that it worked before. Now only if I flash it on a custom rom it work fine.

Gcam development - work in progress

So with this device, there will be very little to none users that have one but since I do own one now, hopefully Arnova and cstark can help me get this port to work. The phone is currently on nougat, and camera2 probe reports it to be legacy mode, and there's no root for it unfortunately to enable camera2api, which I think is the main issue? Here's my logcat https://drive.google.com/open?id=1dHFllU7Mg580NkolACDw9AMWD14MmxAy. The version that even load is this one https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/OP6v0.3_MGC_5.1.018_FINAL_3.4A.apk. Every other version force close, however, if I make any changes such as toggle sounds off, the app fc immediately if I close it. @Arnova8G2, @cstark27... can you see what is causing this?

Gcam Playground/AR

I have Gcam version 6.2.030.244457635 which I appears to work properly but when I load ARcore APK's (testing latest version) the Playground/AR sticker function appears on the Gcam "More" option but when I click it it just says ARcore needs to be updated (which it is). I have tested and loaded different versions of older ARcore which seems to load ok but no AR functionality-This phone is capable I would have imagined???? I searched the forums and Google but just get a handful of non-value added info on this.

You have a module on magisk to run ARCore on natively non-compaitable devices. Give that a try and see if that helps.

Which Gcam apk do you use? What is the developer's name and what is the apk name, and for which phone was it developed?
Thanks.
Arnova8G2 is the author-Gcam 6.2.030.244457635 apk from APK mirror website. (Google finds it quick) It was a shot in the dark that I tried this particular version from all the others that didn't either have complete Gcam features or just plain did not work. I am not sure which device he intended this version for, all I know is that it works on my Red Magic 3 and is better than the stock camera app in my opinion.

Does your copy have support for 12mpx for rear camera? This Sony sensor is kinda trash in dark scenes at 48mpx - it was designed with 12mpx mode in mind to combine light from 4 pixels into one for collecting 4 times more light.
Yeah 4:3 12mpx is what it was set at initially when I first opened the gcam app- works great!
Is Night Sight working as for me the shutter is greyed out.
And there is no option for 12 Megapixel.
Night sight does not capture picture it's like the appatture button does not work!

Weird, mine (and I tried several) goes 48mpx, 7.7mpx.... 12mpx is missing.
This is odd, I wish $hit would just work without jumping thru a 1000 hoops

I have a solution for you. Buy an extra phone and send it to Arnova. He'll fix it up

Google Camera apps that work with this phone?

Hey there everyone. I've installed Lineage 14 on my One and even though there's that dreaded pink tint on the camera, I want to test out Google camera on the phone if possible. Enabling Camera2API shouldn't be too hard but there's no way to know if any app works on this phone or not. If not on Android N, there are currently Pie ROMs being produced too and there's a chance some apks will work on that. Any answers appreciated.
