Help.!!! Google Camera Portrait for Redmi 4X - Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers

I am on Redmi 4X MIUI 9 running Android 7.1.2. As I noticed there are lots and lots of Google Camera Mods all around xda and over internet. Read so many posts that portrait mode on both front and back doesnt work all the time. Saw lots of videos on YouTube regarding the mods. Really impressed. Want to use the Portrait mode on both front and back. I would like to get some help on choosing the correct and stable version of Google Cam which works on my device. Can someone provide me with the information, links and the correct setting to get the mod working. Thanks.

LEAKED APK/No Root-Nokia Camera from 7/8 Chinese FW w/Pro Mode, PIP, Tele/Wide, Etc.

I am not the original source of this content. I found the leak described here on XDA:
https://www.xda-developers.com/download-nokia-camera-pro-camera-nokia-7/
A similar article was posted on Android Police:
https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/04/10/nokia-camera-pro-camera-mode-available-try-apk-download/
There is a slightly newer variant of the leaked APK (8.0260.50 vs 8.0200.20) as well which reorganizes some controls, but it would appear we lost the option to switch between wide angle in this latest apk. Will have to play with them some more. I have uploaded/mirrored both applicable versions to MediaFire:
8.0200.20
http://swifttopia.com/4MUZ
8.0260.50
http://swifttopia.com/4MZ5
My device is an LG V30 - VS996 (Verizon Wireless) running the latest and only Oreo 8.0 fw update. I'm assuming if I was successful in not only actually installing the apk, but all of the following also amazingly worked on a VZW device then I believe it's pretty safe to say it will most definitely do the same for all lol.
I couldn't find a function in this new app that didn't work with my device except for one. I was able to utilize the Wide Angle/Telephoto Angle lens toggle although it was backwards lol, Picture in Picture and Dual Screen camera functions are unique, perhaps useful for bloggers/vloggers?, HDR functions, all the different shooting modes to include the new (reintroduced) Pro Mode. I could not get the app to switch storage to ext sd but that was the only issue I had. Going to play around with shooting a few pics today. If anyone checks this out, enjoy!
Thanks for the share but any chance did you get any additional manual controls like shutter speed?
Sent from my LG V30 using XDA Labs
I have been able to access manual mode using the .20 version, but have not been able to access or even see pro mode yet. Apparently even the Nokia 8 can't see pro mode, just the 7. Been playing around with the APK to look for some sort of system check that could be altered. I've been wanting to learn to patch device/OEM specific apps, a la Arnova/Cstark Google cam mods. Gonna try to play with this as a first project.
In the meantime check out this OnePlus 5T Camera + Google HDR+ hybrid someone over at the XDA OP5T forums developed. Obviously could only extract and install the actual camera app but surprisingly pro mode etc works. Swipe up on "photo" to select pro mode. I like the layout and placing of the histogram/settings.

FYI: XDA Developers member @linuxct has managed to port the newest release of the Nokia Camera WITH Pro Mode. Pretty sweet, you can check it out here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-nokia-camera-8-0260-50-pro-mode-t3798127
how's the photo output? Do you find it to be better then the stock camera?

Working Gcam v6.2.30

Hey guys,
This is a working version of GCAM V6.2.30, which supports timelapse.
What doesn't work:
1. Motion photos seems to be hit or miss, sometimes they crash the Google photos app
2. Slow motion does not work because the camera does not support 120fps video (1/4x slow motion requires 120 fps)
3. Manual Focus does not work in HDR and or with Flash.
Everything else works, just need to change front camera base model to Nexus 6p
Bulkin043's modded ports work the best compared to all other modders, i have not been successful in running Arnova's mod, the front camera of which crashes instantly.
Sadly, the guys at google cam ports decided not to host Bulkin043's ports going forward anymore (i dont know why).
The latest version which you can download is v5TR, which works,
Thank you,
Please post if you have better versions. Thank you
Link: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-bulkin043/
Latest build : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-LroZ4Y7zjnvt62vtvqJ7EmSRWD3RE2O/view?usp=drivesdk
P.s. : going forward, for this phone, i think this is the best modder whose ports we can rely on.
I know a lot of people direct to Arnova, but sadly, his ports doesn't work very well except for Gcam V5.
Edit : Arnova's latest build for 6.2.30 is also working, but as of now it is not updated on the google cam port page, uploaded to gdrive and shared.
Link : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gVM9KLXtfEsRAFrQm-DR0hZZ5wXKjBb0/view?usp=drivesdk
Edit 2 : Arnova's build fails to click photos in Non-Hdr mode, it most of the time does not do anything in non-hdr mode and sometimes crashes.

https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog1343/

You can Install it without Any risk additionally to the MIUI Cam and try it.
In my oppinion everyone Sees a Picture different, so try it an decide for yourself which Looks better for you
Use Nikita Gcam

There are two comparison videos on youtube:

Gcam needs work, stock camera looks better in many cases, especially at night.

Thanks for the videos, might wait a bit then. But the selfie camera is way better with GCam though.
gcam version: GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.2-fix.apk
Cons:
0,6x is Macro sensor and
, 2x is actually UltraWide
No UltraWide/Macro Video
No 64M mode
No Bulb Flash in photo mode
Macro is better in stock
Pros
Sharper in low light than stock
UltraWide NightSight works, stock nightmode only in main camera
Less chromatic aberration
Focus tracking in photo mode (need testing)
creared question se below
Same bug here, wide and macro are changed (v2.2 with no extra config)

A quick question here.
Gcam must be adapted for each device, right?
What's the point of using gcam if there's not a device-specific gcam for us yet? At least afaik

There are still some slight advantages besides interface

Edit: here are some night pics:
btw for those interested, I managed to adapt a config from K30 in Wichaya's cam (most work is camera IDs, all quality settings and such are my preference, but didn't go into the advanced ones, for AWB I used the "most similar" camera setting, which is the poco x2 one) not sure if the best or not, feel free to edit the config, and share the config with us if you are good with photo settings )
Everything I tested (macro, 0.6) is working (mostly similar to what bacitoto posted, except cameras have the right "name"), except:
1- Bokeh effect in portrait mode (idk if that gcam can support it, no slider i think)
2- Zoom bug in front-camera VIDEO recording (there's a workaround, just zoom upto 1.01 and it works fine, 1.00/default zoom looks like 500.00 zoom :S).
3- Macro/0.6 crash on video, but I think stock camera doesn't support that aswell?
4-other things i'm not even aware they exist?

i'm not an expert, but works
for me, gcam is years away versus stock camera, at least when taking photos at my floor :S (it has wooden details and such)
PS: You might want to use 4:3 instead of 16:9, 16:9 loses too many MPs

I've swapped to arnova gcam using pachenko's config (htcmania) tho, he knows better about libpatcher configs, and in arnova there's no front zoom bug (it has a workaround here anyways, so experience is similar)
Can you share the config and the apk?

Question Xiaomi Mi 11 Camera problem

Hello everyone
Got myself Xiaomi Mi 11 but the camera really suc*.
Taking pictures using the main 27MP (108MP) of people faces is a pain and when zooming the photos i see loss of fine details and in most cases faces come out underexposed or out of focus (same issue with S20 Ultra).
Even tap to focus not really helpful.
On the other hand taking photos of objects with or without Ai not showing the issue.
Anyone else facing the same?
Have this issue like you.
truly odd, if im using the Pro Mode without changing any values the image quality is better, not perfect but better

- Fixed Mi11 issue where the video finder would freeze.
- Fixed the problem of switching between additional front modules.

i can confirm that it works perfectly.
Now I'll test it thanks a bunch!

Question ANX camera makes more noisy photos than MIUI camera

Hey guys, when I'm using ANX camera the photos are getting way more noisy than on stock MIUI camera. I'm using Arrow OS. I posted 2 photos for comparison.
The noise is more visible in the corners. I have installed:
- ANXCameraUnity_185R.SaltyIntelligentPlainsqueaker
-RN10P ADD ON
- 48 MP fix.
Anyone got any ideas how to get better results with ANX camera?
nop.
Xiomi did the firmware for his sensor, the anx is a port. Obviously u will get better photos on stock miui.
Oh, I see. I thought that they extracted that firmware completely. Well then that's a bummer.
Hi Adrian,
there is in fact one more file to install for a proper work of ANX Camera and you can find it attached here. I found this file on accident while browsing the Telegram channel "Redmi Note 10 Pro/Max Photography". I hope its installation will make the difference you / I hope.
You can also install (from Google Play) ANXCamera pro which gives access to a lot of other functions even if not all of them work with ANX for Redmi Note 10 Pro. I, for example, use this app only to activate the Dual Video mode which is not available in ANXCamera port but is available in the stock camera.
oh, Thanks a bunch. I gonna install and test it.
Don't use the 48MP fix
I tried both installing libcameraservice service and uninstalling 48 MP fix and the quality is still more inferior than on stock MIUI camera or Gcam.
Thanks for all the suggestions though!

Was feel that too, on custom ROMs with ANX on it.
But since ANX is kind of universal/port, we can't rely on it more deeper, we need an actual "device specific" port but not really sure if it's possible or not.
Try with any GCam out there which fits your need or else turn back to MIUI.
New Update for ANXCamera! Maybe there are improvements!

more stable , but quality still same.
Thanks, I bought the phone mainly for the camera, but I hate MIUI so I'm running PE with both ANX and GCam. GCam seems better, have you tried it?
Would be awesome if you can add a comparison for all 3!
I have similar observations with the newest ANX camera update. There are no longer any crashes after install, although sadly quality hasn't changed a bit.
Right now I'm on custom rom so I can't make such comparison.
