Android pie and Miui 10?

I've just taken stock of my new MI8 128gb in white and love it after 24hours.
The question is should I update to MIUI 10 and Android Pie or just Pie - I heard some things are not so good with Miui 10 namely GPS which is important to me.
Before I update what are your thoughts as i'm already thrilled with the speed and look, also is there some really good camera app should get or other useful apps?
I have Spotify, netflix, whatsapp, FB + messenger, Samsung health + Galaxy wearables ( to go with my galaxy watch).
Thanks for any tips on next things to do to improve this phone

Pro: The MIUI camera really isn't very good with old versions. And you won't be able to use Google Camera Port(which is vastly superior) on those old MIUI versions.
Con: Most people report worse battery life with newer MIUI Android Pie versions

Flashed havoc Rom and never looked back. If you are okay with unlocking bootloader and doing a little flashing, Havoc is a far far far superior rom to miui, with great Google camera.

Havoc-OS is very good ROM, but it is not superior then MIUI. I have been used Havoc and liked very much, but i am back to MIUI XEU ROM, and it is better then Havoc. Also you can install GCam on miui without root. This AOSP PIE are good but all they have something missing. I recommend you to install XEU ROM

Yeah no Glonass or dual gps support on havoc os

gcam

Yes here is link for XEU ROMs https://xiaomi.eu/community/forums/miui-rom-releases.103/
but to install this ROM you have also to unlock Bootloader and install TWRP recovery
for GCam https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8/themes/mi-8-google-camera-mod-t3803984

Hi, I'm not very tech savvy but I thought one person reported you can get gcam without rooting.... is not your suggestion of unlocking bootloader and install TWRP recovery - rooting? I assumed there was just some apk we could download and install.

I dont understand what you mean about rooting? twrp?
this thema is name "Android Pie and Miui 10", i understand that you dont know what to use, AOSP Android Pie, or Miui Pie? i hope i am right. If you want to use AOSP Android Pie, you need twrp, and unlock bootloader. And if you unlock bootloader and install twrp then it is better to install XEU ROM then AOSP Android Pie. AOSP Android Pie or XEU ROM you cant install just as apk.
you dont need root for GCam, just download apk and install , for example this one https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog355/
I give you link of Gcam thema here on forum, to read, not just first post.

Best Android 11 ROM and Gcam?

I have tried PE 11 beta already. But the kernel causes issues when flashing Viper4android.
So, which is the best Android 11 custom ROM according to you guys? Does Viper work without breaking wifi? Also, which GCam works perfectly in Android 11?

my current ROM is https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-unofficial-11-0-raphael-lineageos-18-1.4176901/
I don't use viper, so IDK if it works, and I use
NGCam_7.4.104-v2.0 - New Update[10-12-2020]
Apk Link: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog1444/
XML files : https://gofile.io/d/eY1xLD by Mevcetin
for my gcam, USE THE CONFIG ASWELL.
Btw I don't think viper works with android 11 yet no sure tho.

Nice. Viper doesn't work properly. Breaks notification and call sounds. Also breaks wifi sometimes if it's stock kernel. Thanks for the GCam link.
So, do you use any sound mods?

Currently the best a11 rom based on miui vendor will be Evolution X AND WIFI will break on perf kernel u will need to flash any other kernel for it to work.
Gcam i use Urnyx's 7.3 v2.5 as it works as a good replacement for anx camera and doesn't has lot of things to tweak around simple and easy gcam but with less features.

Yeah. EvoX seems like the best A11 ROM right now. I hope there'll be some improvements once MIUI 12.5 vendor is out.
I use the same GCam too. Still waiting for a proper GCam 8

Nah. I don't really shoot videos that often. Right now, I only have GCam and ANX. Tried NGCam, but it crashed at times

[Magisk Module] Enable RAW capture for GCam

This Module enables RAW Capture on the Galaxy A30, and changes the camera Hardware Level from Limited to Full.
RAW Capture is required for most GCams to work.
For information about GCam, go to this thread. It's for the A20, but contains useful information.

How does it work?
It works by replacing the library located at /vendor/lib/libexynoscamera3.so with an edited one. For reverse engineering enthusiasts, here is the patch applied to the library.
Prerequisites
- Magisk v20.4 or newer
- Android 11 vendor and kernel (Not compatible with versions of the Eureka Kernel older than 9.0)
Installation
Install as a normal Magisk Module, through Magisk Manager or TWRP.
Troubleshooting
Camera doesn't work, shows Black Screen
Make sure you are using a compatible Android 11 kernel and vendor.
If this issue is happening after updating your firmware, please let me know.

Does this work with aosp based roms? Or is it just one UI?

I don't know much about kernels for the A30. In my A20 with an Android 12 GSI i use stock kernel with some small modifications (dmverity disabled, MTP fixed for AOSP, etc.)

bro, you can enable 60fps FHD record for our devices?

Wow, that seems like an promising approach ! Keep up the good work.
Any chance the patcher can be extended to Galaxy S10/20/21 ? or is that a completely different topic ?

Probably, I would have to check their libexynoscamera3.so library.

I just checked the library of the Galaxy S10 and yes, it should be possible. However, doesn't it already support RAW?

On the stock rom it probably does.
For the S10/20 on LOS only standard and wide lens are accessable whereas the telephoto is not.
On the S10 for LOS 17.1 I therefore had a patched "libexynoscamera3.so" as well granting access to telephoto lens via gcam.
However for LOS 18.1/19.0 or even for my new phone the S20 I was not able to find any patched libs anymore since nobody took the effort of reverse engineering it as you did.
Would you be willing to make the necessary adaption for your patcher to successfully enable raw on all lenses for LOS 18.1/19 on the S10/20 ?

Bro, you can make this mod for Android 10 vendor?

Technically, yes. However, in the A20 enabling RAW in the Android 10 library makes the camera freeze after some seconds in apps like GCam.
If you are willing to test, i can do it, maybe the A30 doesn't have the same issue.

Bro will this mod work for Galaxy A30 (Android 11) ??
Edit: I'm sorry....for a moment I thought this mod for A20.....Sorry again.

Yes, only on gsi or Oneui3.1 ROMs.You need ROM with 11 vendor

Version 2.1 of the module released, the biggest change is that there is no longer a need to change the Black Level in GCam settings, so GCams (or other camera apps) that don't have this option should now take photos without pink tint.
Full changes can be found here.

That's not really helpful. What is happening to make you say it doesn't work, black screen? What ROM are you using? What kernel? What vendor, the one that comes with the ROM, stock Android 11 vendor or a custom one? What camera apps did you try?

Question Is it possible to install ANX Camera in Redmi note 10 pro without root?

I am currently using Havoc OS 4.16 (non rooted) custom rom and the rom came with ANX Camera. It performs really amazing and i would like to install it in other roms. However when i searched around the internet on installation of the camera app some say it requires it needs root and magisk module while others say it doesn't need root and can be flashed from custom recovery without root. Can someone give a clear answer?
Device: Redmi Note 10 Pro
Code name: Sweet
Android Version: 11
Current rom: Havoc 4.16
Custom Recovery: Orange Fox
Encryption status: Yes
Anx version in Havoc: 204.StunningHeavenlyFugu

No. ANX is a magix module now. So magix is needed for ANX. All you can do is install a pre installed ANX rom like Project Elixir, pixelOS, etc.

There are some ROMs that have the MIUI camera preinstalled, like crDroid and PixelOS

Stock camera app in custom roms

Does anyone know if any of the android 11/12 custom roms have the stock camera app? When I tried Evolution and ArrowOS they didnt have it.

I'm searching for it also.Xiaomi Camera App didn't work on Evolution X

You need to install it yourself,
Use a magisk module called ANXcamera
