Hi Ahmad,
Not expert on this, but learning by doing.
First of all, you have to DO this:
- Make sure your device unlocked bootloader.

1. Flash custom Recovery (I suggest TWRP)

It is normal to happen. To fix that:
You can use root explorer ( I prefer using Solid Explorer + SE Text Editor)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.solidexplorer2
Go to:
/system/etc/camera
Find a file named:
msm8996_camera.xml
Open it with text Editor and find this near the bottom of the text.
<Position>FRONT</Position> <MountAngle>360</MountAngle>
There is two "Front" if you use "find" and change 360 to 270.
Restart.
Hope it's going well.

Use the GCam mod by Arnova found in this link:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/themes/app-collection-camera-modded-t3591177
This will only work if you're running an Oreo 8.1 64-bit ROM.
It does not encounter the issue you are facing. But it is advisable that your gallery must be Google Photos as default.
Most features are working properly except the EIS, Photosphere and Panorama. Be sure to turn off EIS when in video recording mode.
In my opinion, the google cam is not so good compared to the stock cam. Today i just successfully install gcam using the fastboot command non-root method, i did expect a lot that gcam could significantly improve the overall quality. But tbh, it fails, even on the hdr test, the stock cam app beats it absolutely. Anyone got the same results? Share with me your thought
Sorry for bad English!
Ok you may have managed installing gcam without root but w/o root you surely never can enable cam2api.
And i doubt w/o cam2api gcam can perform well.

what u mean? how about this tutorial?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/as...ow-to/guide-enable-camera-api-2-root-t3823498
Hey Folks,
after reading a lot i switched from my Galaxy S7 to the Mi A2 and im really happy with the camera - after unlocking Camera2API and switched to modded gCam I unlocked Camera2API over the temp. TWRP method and adb (in the TWRP terminal) on my August Version.
Now i was very unsure, if the official September OTA Update breaks my gCam Setup - but after the update :fingers-crossed: the modded gCam works perfect :highfive: so i dont need to redo the Camera2API unlocking :good:
@@@Best gCam Mod@@@
Thx to "celsoazevedo.com" for the nice Site: bsgfixPortrait-GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.2.apk
All is working +SloMo +RAW :good:
Info: Use classic Smart Burst and Enable HDR+ Toggle
I hope, i could help anyone with the decision to make the OTA Update and which gCam is the best (so far) :good:
Great, i want to do that but i have the latest update ( september 1st and second update) and as far has i know the I unlocked Camera2API over the temp. TWRP method and adb (in the TWRP terminal) does not work for the ones that have the latest update.
Has it said in here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/how-to/tutorial-camera2api-gcam-root-t3842475
I don´t want to root, just want camera2api enabled.
But maybe you can flash the complete Firmware from August (unlock bootloader with critical part.) and flash the complete older (August) firmware. Then unlock the camera2api and update the OTA (Septmber) This was my emergency plan, if the OTA would destroy the unlock.

Tks, i tought that also, but for now i don´t want to mess too mutch with downgrade and command shell, just a clean unlock bootloader, enable camera2api and nothing more. I think the problem is TWRP, i will wait for an stabel/official version so i can go any further.
Can you record in 4K with google camera? For me it is not working no meter what gcam port I try.
Nope, but 4K is without stabilisation and only useable, when you own a ststiv or a gimbal. Free Hand recordings looks like **** in 4k. 1080p is with EIS and look way better, then sharp and shaky 4k
4k with EIS is just possible in "Snap Camera"

Opencamera should work too right?

When camera2api is enabled, opencamera loses option for 4K. 1080p EIS works, but with zooming image.
OpenCamera dint work with Camera2Api enabled.
cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_v4.2t3_fu24-02.apk (fu24, 2018-10-01, normal/wide angle, changelog)
Im using this version for now. Front camera working. I think all functions works, except slow motion, but i don't care about...
Unfortunately front camera doesn't work with Arnova's apks. I hope this feature is fix soon for our device

This doesn't support 18:9 screen, is there any gcam for 18:9?
Hi,
I am running a custom ROM, crdroid, on my Mi9T pro. I have installed GCam which seems to be a great camera application but it doesn't support the lens choice.
I saw that ANX can do that, is it the only application and the best to do that?
I saw on the website a lot of apk version for this application which by the way take a lot of space! I don't know which one to choose between all ANXCameraUnity files.
And there are also a ANXFrameworkUnity file, do I need to install it?
Thanks

Try V184
download files from here --> https://camera.aeonax.com/
1) ANXCameraUnity_184.IrritatingModernSqueaker.zip
2) 48MPFixQ_181.GlossyIntelligentCock.zip
flash ANX camera 184 then 48MP fix and done...
on first launch if camera closes automatically then go to App Info and allow permissions manually.
Thanks,
I tried the proposed version, and even with the autorisation set manually, the application close each time a take a picture... Furthermore, they are some problems displaying the sheetings as you can see in the attached screenshot.
