Gcam with nightsight - Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers

Anyone using the new gcam with nightsight? Apparently eventhough bulit for oneplus 6 by arnov it works better with mi5 but im on miui rom and it won't work. So i wanted to know if anyone has used it before changing roms abd whether it works only on pie roms or anything from nougat.

It needs pie.

its pie only as of now use syberia os if you really want to try of btw its laggy and sluggish but actual camera performance is mind bobbling .

FreedomOS or Resurrection Remix

I'm a new 3T owner who got my phone just a few days ago (came from a Nexus 6P). I decided to load the FreedomOS rom initially because I was curious about OOS. Overall, I'm fairly content, but a few of my apps haven't worked correctly (e.g. Accubattery and Xfinity WiFi). I was curious about Resurrection Remix which, I believe, is based on Lineage.
I'm a bit apprehensive about loading a Lineage-based ROM primarily because I think I read something about Lineage not supporting some of the 3t's features (fast charging?). But after searching I can't find the thread I thought I read those warnings....so maybe I imagined it? Can anybody provide any clarity on if that's even an issue?
I'd also like some feedback from folks who have run the official RR Rom. Any downsides? Any benefits over FreedomOS? And the same question to FreedomOS users who have used RR...any feedback on why you prefer FOS over RR?
i'm on freedom rom right now wiht xceed kernel, loving it, i woudn't do AOSP or LOS based roms because you'll loose the camera functionality and manual mode

Do all Lineage-based ROMs (for the 3t) not have camera? What do you mean by "manual mode?"

They have, but no other ROM will have the same quality than OOS-based ROMs.
You can try this ported stock camera if you are using LineageOS: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/themes/port-oxygenos-stock-camera-cm-t3451721
Remember to flash "HAL1 Enabler for LOS(and based on it): LineageOS" also from the same page.
Not sure which things are working and which aren't, some says that 1080p 60fps videos are not, but atleast I was able to take the video with that ported camera app, not sure was the outcome really 60fps.
Can't test any more of it for now, went back to H2OS 7.1.1 beta

yeah basicaly non OOS roms won't have the same camera quality in terms of processing and features.
Camera blobs are out and there are some ports but non function similarly to how the camera functions on OOS

What do you like about H2OS? Is it difficult to get gapps working properly? How about other launchers? Any issues for an English-speaker US-based user?

I dirty flashed it over OOS 4.03, everything seems to work fine, since Google apps were already there. I'm using Nova Launcher myself, can't spot any difference except language, since I was using finnish before, but there is english of course to choose.
Remember to take backup with TWRP if possible before flashing it easier to go back if you don't like it or something goes bad.
Edit.. seems that OOS 7.1.1 open beta 3 is here! http://downloads.oneplus.net/oneplus-3t/oneplus_3t_oxygenos_openbeta_3/
Well, if you really want 7.1.1 for OOS, you can just flash their Beta released today.
I'd say you should go for FreedomOS for now. All of the LineageOS and AOSP based roms have a buggy camera due to the buggy Camera HAL3. Only the ROMs based on OOS have a fully functional camera. You can also try out the OOS Open Beta 3 released earlier today, its based on 7.1.1

In fact, Hydrogen OS has gapps, just disabled. Install play store directly should be okay.

Yeah, I think I'll probably stay put on FreedomOS unless I discover another OOS-based ROM with a dedicated dev. Resurrection Remix looks nice, but a buggy camera would be unacceptable for me.
I really appreciate all the feedback/advice. I'm not a newb, but am new to this handset so I really appreciate all the info you've shared.
I'm for RR :3

Do you have any problems with it? What is your experience with the camera? What do you like most about it?

It's not my daily driver right now, but I've flashed it earlier, so I would say it's really good
Performance is smooth and fast, any bugs (so far), camera is fine, nearly compared to OxygenOS
I like a big amount of customizations the most ^^

*LINK UPDATED*[8.1][Oxygen] Slow motion GCam Port Without Root

Hey Everyone.. Like all of you I've been using the gcam magisk module on our max 2. But when it comes to Oreo ROMs slow motion did not work on them.. So I checked a lot of ports and found this one.
NB: no other plugin/add-on were flashed or installed on my device. And Device is not rooted currently! {So no magisk}
Tested on : All Oreo ROMs!
Source : https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
The version I found working :
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=746163614322274623
Installation: Just the way you install a normal apk!
*oh and everything works btw*
Enjoy!!
And kindly hit the thanks button if it helped you!!
nice thx for testing lots of versions should come in handy for lots of oreo MM2 users
subbed
[Off Topic]{Out of curiosity}
I tested this port on some other devices running SD 625 and it only worked on MM2!(so far) IDK why!
Every device had Android Oreo 8.1 |Custom ROMs|
Devices I Tested it with:
1. Moto G5 Plus
2. Moto G5S Plus
3. Mi A1
Not important but I thought I'll let you guys know
much obliged:laugh:
Use the Redmi 5 Plus GCam version, works on every 8.1 AOSP ROMs I've tried (all modes, slow motion included): Pixel Experience, MSM Xtended 9.5, AOSP Extended, LOS 15.1, Havoc, RR 6.1, DotOS 2.x, Bootleggers 2.3
We also have a modded version for Max2 from BSG, I tested it on AOSP Extended but slow motion mode didn't worked
Nice Job
work pretty well in mi max 2 with RR 6.2.0 Oreo
GCam 6.1 mod for Max 2 works flawlessly except slow motion mode. Night light enabled and really improved quality of photos in dark night.

Best ROM for pure android (one plus/pixel) experience

Hi everyone,
I have had a Google Nexus 5 and a one plus 3, so the experience with MIUI feels strange.
I have tried with china, global and Xiaomi EU ROMs.
I have seen here in xda a ROM call pixel experience
I wanted to know your opinion about the best option.
And this pixel experience ROM does anyone know how much time takes the updates from China ROM to be in this one? Will it work on android Q beta?
Thanks!!

MIUI is very divisive, I'm on the hate it side.
Pixel experience, as the name suggests, is a modified version of the Pixel phones ROM. So it will be more to what your used to. Personally I've never tried it, as it has too many Google apps baked in for my liking.
There's the Lineage ROM, which is also very close to a stock Android feel.
Finally, there's the Resurrection Remix ROM, which is based on Lineage but cherry picks from a variety of other ROMs to give much more customisation and features.
In time there will be a more ROMs arriving, quite possibly an Oxygen OS ROM.
All of these are based on AOSP, so have no reliance on the stock MIUI, other than for the vendor images. At the moment the dedicated ROMs are still in early development and have a few issues to iron out, mainly flaky FP sensor performance, but are stable enough for daily use.
There's also GSI ROMs too. Though these have a few extra issues over the dedicated ROMs. I'm using the Havoc GSI and the small number of issues with it don't really affect me (except the flaky FP sensor, which isn't too bad to live with)
All of these ROMs will want an official ROM installed first, before flashing, to ensure the correct vendor image is installed. I wouldn't recommend installing over the Q beta ROM directly.
Thank you very much!!! Your explanation is really helpful??

This guy @Robbo.5000 knows what he's talking about! Listen to him! Personally, I'm waiting for the OxygenOS rom considering that I've previously had a Oneplus. MIUI, is a hit or miss, in my opinion. That being said, I can live with it till the time a stable OxygenOS arrives. Best of luck!

Yes, Oxygen OS will be great!!
I think I am going to install pixel experience ROM and when Oxygen OS for androidQ comes out I will upgrade.
I think this will be in the 3rd quarter of this year or something like thay, am I wrong?
Thanks!

No errors until now and the great pixel experience.

is the camera crap on all custom roms?

i heard that the camera should be fine on 8.0 but it seems to be slim pickings for oreo support these days.ive tried mostly pie roms on this phone, theres a problem with camera with all of them. ive been using lineage 15.1 oreo and the camera gives almost the same amount of issues. so i guess my question is the camera just going to always give me an issue no matter the version? the lineage oreo also has been noticeably slower than the pie version
this is a same problem speak me and nothing answer, i flash-pixel-lineage the problem are always bluetooth and camera.
the only work well are the port partial xiaomi and the original

Which xiaomi port? And when you say original, do you mean stock?
The bluetooth has been working fine for me but I rarely use it. Camera has been a consistent issue

Heyyo, Google camera mods have been kinda touchy on S2, but luckily nullby has made s2 specific gcam mod ports.
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-nullbytepl/
As for custom ROM support for these? You'll need either a custom ROM that has selinux enforcing policies for it like LineageOS 16.0 (which I did a crapload of work on to ensure nullby gcam mods would work perfectly on with selinux enforcing) or any other ROM port based on LOS 16.0 selinux enforcing trees. Otherwise? Any custom ROM that is selinux permissive.
I recently flashed miui and am really liking it. Enough people don't talk about the port for some reason, maybe they don't like the skin perhaps? It's been the best rom I've tried from what I remember

Which v of MIUI port r u using?
How's the Battery SOT, Stand-by Stats & GCam compared to MIUI stock Cam?
I previously ran ROS MIUI 9.3.21 ROM only to find the Camera crash while trying to take photo and Video call in WhatsApp.
Now I'm on EUI 6.0.030 by Cuoco92 & it's fine. But I'm looking for a good & stable MIUI ROM without crashes but with decent Battery stats and Camera system...
Thanks...

Question Downgrade Android 12 to 11

Hey whatsup!
Im currently on Pixel Extended 4 Android 12 and the rom is really great. However, I still miss many features from the Miui camera so I want to go back to Miui. Whats the proper way to do it?
Regards
You can flash the recovery rom if you need your bootloader unlocked even after flashing miui but if u don't need that you can flash the original rom from mi flash tool
Thanks alot..i already tried and it worked. Thought I couldnt flash MIUI in Recovery due to encryption. But it worked flawless. I still need to get used to the "slow" experience on MIUI compared to Pixel Extended 4. But I want to use the camera to its fullest content.
Thanks

You can try the European miui rom, it has better speed than the other ones
Im using the EEA europe version right now. you mean the xiaomi.eu rom? Thats even slower and stuttering is pretty common opening apps.
I should have said this earlier but there is an mi camera port called anx camera. But not sure it will work or not
Theres no working ANX for Android 12 as far as I know. And IF, theres no 1080 MP sensor. But nvm..Ill stick with Miui for now. Maybe theres some upcoming stuff in the future.
Thanks
Ok good luck
