It has been years already since this device is a top one and we all know it has a very good sensor on it's camera. But none of the developers has tried to involve into activating Camera 2 Api for it. ( Cancro on Snapdragon 800 )
My question is - what is needed to do so and how difficult is it? I used a ported Google Camera on Redmi 4X and the images where amazing! HDR+ is a performant thing for high end cameras. Why not activating it on Cancro as well? There are a lot of users with this device on hand.

Hi everyone,
All of us know that Xiaomi Mi5 came with powerful Snapdragon 820 chipset. Also Mi5 equipped with 16mp camera with Sony IMX 298 sensor. But its a great matter of sorrow that Mi5 can't shoot 240fps slow motion video in 720p even [email protected] though it has one of the most powerful hardware combination in the market!
Snapdragon 820 does support [email protected] slow-mo shooting but Mi5 doesn't. Mi5 can only record upto 120fps in 720p resolution. On the other hand 'ZTE Axon 7' also came with Snapdragon 820 and ZTE took full advantage of it. Axon 7 can record "[email protected]","[email protected]/60fps",[email protected] even "[email protected]". But poor Mi5 can record "[email protected]", "[email protected]" & "[email protected]".
Isn't it Xiaomi's poor software optimization? They are giving 2/3 years old video shooting mode on a top notch device which has a great hardware of 2017. Even nowadays a phone with poor chipset can record 1080p videos @30fps. Isn't it a great shame for Xiaomi & all Mi5 users comparing other Snapdragon 820 phones from OnePlus, Samsung, Google Pixel, ZTE etc? Sadly me also in the list.
SO I AM REQUESTING A 240FPS VIDEO SHOOTING CAMERA FOR MI5 LIKE 'CAMERA X' OF NEXUS 5X.
Is it possible to port/modify ZTE Axon 7's camera/kernel for Mi5? Or Google Pixel's camera/kernel? Or building a new one according to them for Mi5?
Remember that Snapdragon 820 does support those shooting modes by default. Just need a modified/ported camera app or kernel for Xiaomi Mi5.

Think it's a lot more complicated than that. The new Sony Xpera XZs can record up to 720p @ 960fps with a SD820 as it has a large cache size on the camera sensor itself.
I think it has to do around having a proper camera HAL capable of such recordings combined with a proper camera framework that is fast enough to store and process the captured frames.
Without proper source code it would be impossible. We barely just got working video mode in AOSP ROMs for instance. If the feature is added upstream in some other Xiaomi device (say, the Mi Mix 2) it would be easy to backport it to the Mi5.
As everyone knows lenovo p2a42 doesn't support Google camera hdr+ in rear cam and that is due to faulty camera drivers which doesn't support camera 2 api correctly so please come and tag some good developers who can develop a modified camera driver like this which support camera 2 api level_3 and Google cam We have to tag some ROM developers to bring correct modified drivers for our camera that support camera 2 api correctly just like this one we have to develop some for our phone
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2339226
If anyone knows please tag some good developers for our Lenovo p2. We can take Redmi note 4x camera drivers which has same lens as we have.
Hello everyone. There is a developer named cstark27 in the xda forums. He has one LG V30 whose camera configuration is same as Moto X4 (having a wide angle setup). He's in active development of porting the GCAM to the normal as well as LG's wide-angle mobile.
So I would like everyone to request him (cstark 27) to develop a port for us (especially for the wide angle setup) this will help us to utilize our camera in a much better manner.
Also, mention him that our front camera just reads 4MP with all the ports of GCAM. It will be really awesome if we can utilize the 16MP option.
His profile link is: https://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=2712580
P.S. - I don't know how to tag him in this post. If anybody knows do tell me, please. It will help us and our communityty. Also if possible please tag other developers too. To get a list of developers visit the following page: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
Under the "Downloads" there is a section Devs (BSG,Arnova8G2,cstark27.......) , plz tag them to this post so that they help.
Thanks a lot.

That's fine but it needs rooting right? I don't wanna root my mobile coz unlike xiaomi mobiles I can easily loose my warranty
I wished he me would make one for the x4 but haven't found one yet

I just use this GCam version below. No root required.
Arnova's v7beta9
GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V7beta-test-9.apk
As for the wide angle setup thing.. Come on.. who told you that the V30 and X4 have the same configuration? Just because they both have wide angle lens doesn't mean the hardware and configuration is similar. As for the GCam using 4MP only on the front camera... it is due to the fact that Motorola made this the default mode so the sensor size will increase to a very large 2 micron pixel. Hence, better in low/indoor lighting.
Better request Arnova instead of cstark27 because his work is more compatible to our phone.

Oh sorry, I know root isn't required. However as far as I know there's no Gcam port currently working with the wide angle lens of the Moto x4 but if you have found one that's great. I think the main request of this thread is to have a port that works with the wide angle and czstark is the one who brought it to the LG G6 and V30 if I understand everything correctly!
Having the same processor as us (845), aren't that great news for the MI 8 scene?
Will that ease developing ROMs like Pixel2ROM or porting the camera?
I haven't found which camera sensor does the Pixel 3 include, but it uses laser to focus, so I guess it is different from ours.
Not sure if I am talking out my ass but I am pretty sure we could at least port some processing technique over to the mi 8 ???
It's great because Pixel3 and Mi8 seems to share a lot in common. I'm not sure but the specs of the sensor of Pixel3 are the same of the Mi8, so it could be an IMX363 (12.2Mp, dual pixel, 1.4μm pixel size, f/1.8 aperture, check by yourself it's the same!).
Also same proc (S845), so yes great news !
Bad news! mi8 look overrated with this current software
I've ported over a version of the Google camera..https://www.cyanogenmods.org/google-camera-oppo-find-x3-pro-gcam/
Google camera 8.1
Below is is an example of the only photos I've managed to take so far. However the Google camera port definitely has a more natural tone. The oppo camera has a more vivid look to it
Have you found a way to support auxiliary lenses ?
I prefer Oppo's colour science over GCam there.
There are a couple of good X3 pro v pixel 5 comparisons out there on YouTube. There is no reason to want the Google cameras.
Part of the joy of android is being able to play around with stuff like this regardless of weather you need it or not, don't you think?
okokok,very thanks
What is the status of GCam port for X3 Pro? Everyone happy using stock camera?
Is this only mod working or we can try many other ports as well?

There's many new builds released like MGC and LMC that work good also without an XML, for MGC you can download the aweme package that can shot with wide lens but have a bug on normal lens, I prefer LMC for normal shot in day light, you can find all simply searching on telegram
