Camera on MI 8 ROMs - Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers

When new ROMs release (like LineageOS), how will the camera perform?
Will it include the same quality, AI and specs like the main ROM?
And... I've seen that new official ROM/Firmware updates can update the camera quality via AI, will that be possible to include in the ROMs easily? Is that part of the Treble partition? Or that is not part of the Treble and opensourced, and thus quite difficult to include?
I've currently seen in the unofficial LineageOS that the camera support is still poor.

Oxygen Camera App

Hi,
is anyone able to make a flashable .zip of the oxygen camera app for cm13/14?
Or won't the app work on cm?
Thx a lot!

It won't work on CM because of a lot of private not open source code that oneplus put into making the camera work. That's one of the limitations of third party roms on this phone or the op3, being that the camera quality isn't the same as on OOS. Google oneplus camera blobs for more info on this.

hows the cam quality
I have been using CM13 and CM14. I am now going back to OOS because you loose a good amount of low light noise cleanup. and you don't get EIS2.0 and Optical Image Stabilisation combined. which is what EIS2.0 is Electronic and Optical combined. Anywhoooo. yeah and the CM snap cam isn't bad......but in low light the camera creates a lot of noise....but w/ OOS camera it can clean that noise up pretty good....I was going to get the pixel where they barely have to clean up any noise and the noise they have is fixed w/ a really good HDR+ mode....but I'm not about to pay over 800 for the 128 Pixel XL.....hence why i got the OnePlus3T. So if you really want good low light stick w/ OOS......CM13 Snap cam isn't horrible.....but it's not as good as OOS's camera app because of the noise reduction blobs stuff (which OnePlus and snapdragon prob wrote to fully utilize EIS2.0 that works really well w/ snapdragon 821 and they know exactly what kinda noise the cheaper camera sensor produces. Snap Camera only fixes generic noise..not noise specific to the oneplus 3t's camera sensor)
Long story short....if you want the best image from this phone...stay on OOS. but isn't freedomOS OOS but w/ more features....I hope so because I would like to have more features built in vs using xposed. and I hate the recents button placement on OOS...with a passion.
I installed the apks provided here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/themes/port-oxygenos-stock-camera-cm-t3451721 on my 1+3T running Resurrected CM14 based ROM and it works like a charm. Just install the apks from under "NOUGAT ROMS." Do NOT flash the zip as they will bootloop your phone. Pretty sure quality is not as good as the stock or latest OOS but gets the job done and RR is too good to pass up for me

[Discussion] Stock OOS Camera Discussion- Feature Request

Hello Community! Greetings from Bangladesh.
There has been lots of buzz regarding Oneplus 3 Camera. For a great device like One Plus 3, Camera performance is one of the thing that many users dont like. I meant to say, since the device uses a decent sensor, a well developed camera app could have boosted the camera performance more. To me the camera performance is not that bad, but still it could have been much better. We saw Dev like SultanXDA can do magic and can really push a device's full potential to the maximum.
I was hoping if someone could have drawn the attention of one plus developers to make the camera app a bit more rich. I mean OOS camera doesnt really have that many options. We have manual mode, but its not complete, there is some limitation. I m not talking about some fancy filters here. If we look at Camera option of Sultan's CM 13, it has way more customization option than Stock OOS. Since Oneplus has not yet been friendly regarding camera Blob's and stuffs it has become pretty tough for the developers to implement something for the custom roms. Its been long, but except for Sultan's CM 13 camera performance in other custom roms are yet pretty much disappointing. We have Stock OOS camera port for custom rom, but it has some limitations.
So what i m asking here is One Plus Dev team should focus on their camera app. For example- Nubia Devices a great camera app which can make use of the sensor pretty well. Similarly Lenovo SnapIt camera has lots of customization too.
I m welcoming discussion from user community here regarding this matter. Please comment about the features that you want to have in Stock OOS camera app. Thus we can let OOS dev team know about our demand.
Thanks.

Difference in picture quality

The developers and actual 3t users,
I want to know,
is there any difference in the camera picture quality from the ported google camera apk installed on oxygen OS as compared to the same google camera app installed on the custom ROM like OMNI, Lineage or any other.
Actually, I want to know does the ROM decide the quality produced by apk camera application or the ported google camera apk produces the quality as per hardware (which is SD 821 in 3t)
If there was no difference in post processing between the Ported Version and the Play Store version, why would developers bother doing ports at all? Of course there's a difference, the post processing of HDR+ highly increases picture quality.
The ROM has an important role in camera, as the Camera HAL used by the ROM will only show the quality. Most ROMs use SultanXDA's HAL as it is much better than OOS HAL. This is a debatable matter. Some rarely updated ROMs use their own HAL's which may be better or worse. The only way to test it is via trail and error.
Please try to do research on this before you post new questions here, as you can test camera quality on your own, or read others experience here (https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...oogle-camera-hdr-60fps-video-t3658552/page235)

Camera quality?

I wounder how the camera is with customs roms? Pixel, Linage, AOSP...?
Xiaomi use their own Android; MIUI which is a bit different which is why I suspect that the camera can get worse with the custom roms... Or am I wrong?

Question Status of Custom ROMS for Note 10 Pro? - Upgrade Advise Needed

I'm looking to upgrade to the Note 10 Pro from my Note 8 Pro.
One of the main reasons why i don't like running a custom ROM in my Begonia (Note 8 Pro) is the fact that i loose a bunch of Camera features and even the ability to use the macro lens.
The devs in the Begonia thread and us Beta testers have risked our devices and had spent an unreasonable amount of time on getting custom ROM's running and to make much of the features functional in that device. But i know since this one has a Snapdragon processor, much of the resources needed to port features from other devices to this is already there.
I know the advantages of running a custom ROM. But i would like it if someone explains to me what device-specific OEM features that you are not able to use once you flash a custom ROM in the Note 10 Pro?
Appreciate the feedback!
1) cRDroid (has Mi CAM too)
2) ArrowOS
3) DroidOnTime

Not sure, don't use too many frills that it has. For 1, I think the IR blaster might not work. Not sure though.

In RN10Pro, I have tested stock rom and other AOSP based custom rom, i found MIUI camera app capabilities is missing feature in all other custom ROM, I missed turbo charging feature in some custom rom also.

Don't take adventure on your ass.
Indonesia ROM and you will be happy.
In terms of speed, smoothness and lack of problems, nothing beats this firmware.
And the camera is pretty good. Well, if it is infused correctly.
Good luck.
This is my first MIUI based phone and I bought it as a secondary device to only to flash a custom ROM.
I tried the latest Pixel Experience Plus (Aug 22 initial OSS build) and it I couldn't be happier (Well, maybe a bit if I could get a 108MP mode in GCam). The performance and battery life are fantastic. Not crash or moments of lag, stutters. So snappy, way better than MIUI.
GCam is working for Regular 12MP, wide angle, tele macro and portrait. The night shots are better than on stock. In case you need a 108MP mode, there is ANX camera. The quality might not match the stock 108MP, but it's a usable option. The selfies are also bright unlike GCam, though GCam has way more detail in the selfies than ANX or even stock.
I'm going to test Crdoid or dotOS soon to see what a degoogled experience is like, but I reckon it is going to be similar to PE+. PE+ has set a benchmark for me.
Also, a couple of bugs I've noticed on PE+ which might or might not stay with other ROMs is:
1. Auto brightness is a bit off and goes lower or higher than it should at times.
2. The front cam was crashing when I turned on face unlock. But because I prefer the fingerprint scanner, turned it off and no issues since then.
3. Features like AOD and Pocket mode have been known to be battery hogs, but I don't use them anyway.

Give you some information. Xiaomi released A11 kernel for begonia a few days and camera problems (maybe) can be fixed, wait for next custom rom A11 based before get new rmn10p.
And custom use ANX and Gcam, some problems maybe same with other device not only rmn8p.

Right now I'm testing few different Camera apps, ANXCamera + many differenet GCam MODS.
I'm looking for the best GCam MOD ... I think that I have found it!
The ANX Camera quality is the same as the stock MIUI camera ... have made a lot of test of both and have to say that ANX isn't bad at all!
You can see all my test and findings in this GCam Mods for Redmi Note 10 Pro tread here.

Thank you, i will try
I decided to buy the phone and see after reading all your thoughts. I specially want to see if the high refresh rate works well with an AOSP ROM too because that's one of the main parts of the phone that i want to take advantage of. And I would be happy as @dnana9 mentioned if there's options for me to take advantage of all the lenses. Lets see how it goes.
You won't regret it. I have been hopping from stock to Pixel Experience to Xiaomi.EU to AOSP Extended, and every ROM has minor quirks, but overall better than stock MIUI. And beteeen the 5-10 options you have, you should find the sweet spot.

Haven't tested other AOSP ROMs than the AOSP Extended but have tested few MIUI based one and have to say that AOSP Extended is super truper fast!
I'm using the same ROM on my other phone Redmi Note 7 and the ROM there is also so fast and smooth as a pretty new car from Tesla ...
