GCam - Please Help Me!

I'm an Android and MIUI newb, I really try to get the hang of it, but please, can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong here:
I want to install the apk of GCam and it just doesn't seem to work. I installed the latest version by B-S-G (MGC_6.1.021_Vc_Newlibs) and still the camera doesn't run smoothly and freezes every time I open the app.
I'm running on MIUI 10.1.1.0 stable, my device bootloader is NOT unlocked.
What am I doing wrong?

I'm not certain, but I think you need to root your phone to use Gcam properly.
But one advice: I have custom ROM in Mi 8 which had Gcam (BSG) in it. Not impressed as it is not that stable and as far as I understand, not a single Xiaomi model with Gcam can use slow motion. And I think you also lose optical zoom with it (not 100% sure about that).
I think I'll chance my ui back to miui and just de-bloat all the crap Xiaomi have put in.

I got the same problem with 10.1.1 Global Stable. Gcam is very laggy and freeze

Hm, I don't know....
The only reason I want to use it is Night Sight.
But, on the other hand, I don't want to root the phone and lose all my data.

Hello, same thing here! I'm on MIUI 10.1.1.0 global
Night sight has a VERY laggy viewfinder and pictures is not properly taken (seems to be a normal picture) and takes about 30s

I have Pie Beta 8.12.7 MIUI.EU and the last version, 1d work perfect for me.

Newest GCam Ports only working on latest Betas without problems. For the 10.1.1.0 Release you need to use the Android 8.1 versions of the GCam Port...

Thank you, that makes me hopeful.

You just need to read... you need android 9 with night mode in stock camera app. If you have that you can install latest gcams without issue and no need to do additional steps.

Sorry, but what night mode in the stock camera app? There's no such preference on my phone.

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

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

This one works fine for me

For me it stops showing live screen after 3 seconds and then just stops. Like BSG and other mods.
How does it work for you? Have you used any xml?

Works very well with no crashes so far. There were some that crashed but I just worked my way down the list of recommended versions until I found this one.
Not tried any XML yet. Stock camera quality has caught up with Google's so not much difference

Good news guys. I managed to get a stable GCam without any crashes or problem. I'm using Wyroczen GCam port.

Seems to work, together with Urnyx' 2.5 xml from Mi 10T Pro. Lets wait for someone who adapts xml, because the ultrawide has some texture on it.

Hi,
anybody has a working 8th version mod of gcam here with Mi 11?
Now I'm using 7.4 Nikita v2 and 7.3.018 Wyroczen v2.5, but curious of those BSG 8.1 or UltraM8 mods, they seems to work for a few secs, and then screen freezes. Is there a way to go around that?
Besides, made a quick comparision video of Mi 11 vs old Mi 8:
The Mi 8 in good light altogether with gcam keeps cool against Mi 11. Also there is some samples of Mi 11 shots with native and 3rd party apps.

I've used these two (Mi 10T Pro and Mi 10 Pro, but with some changes for myself), link is there:
Config Files for Urnyx's GCam 7.3.x
Stable settings for Urnyx's GCam 7.3.x with xml config files support.
www.celsoazevedo.com
Now the best result's I've got with 7.3.018 Wyroczen and 7.4.104 Nikita V2. Much better details than native camera app. Night sight like the other phone. But still believe there is room for improvement for main and ultrawide sensor with gcam.
By the way, first version of 8.1 gcam compatible with Mi 11 is out:
BSG: MGC_8.1.101_A9_PV0j
Download MGC_8.1.101_A9_PV0j by BSG.
www.celsoazevedo.com
But I don't see how to enable HDR Enhanced+ option there. And it is still trailing behind in quality than those who I've mentioned (7.3 and 7.4 mods).
Any reports from other users about their experiences?

HDR+ can be enable in the advanced settings.
MGC 8 works before freezing...

What MIUI version do you have, 12.5?
Because I have a global Mi 11 with MIUI 12.0.3 and even with donation version, the image freezes after a few seconds.

There is a new update. Specifically adding support for mi 11 on BSG gcam mod

this doesnt support 108mp or even 64 mp

Im gettin in here with the same problem. Thats why i got back from ArrowOS or other AOSP roms simply due to the fact I cant use my camera(108mp) with all its features. Is there any solution to it yet? Im currently trying PixelPlus rom...great so far...but the camera app is just...well.

There ain't any gcam mod that supports 108mp, at the moment, as far as I know. Plus, There are so much different gcam mods with different levels of stability and so much different configs available for each of them that I got lost in testing and camparing all of them. In my opinion, it's not worth the time trying to get the perfect one, especially when there's always someone claiming to have the best mod with the best config file and someone says that it looks crappy compared to his, right after.
Having tested a respectable amount of them, I find that gcams produce often quite noisy pictures.
ANX is the way to go if you want a good camera and that you're fed up of tweaking your phone after installing all the bootloader and custom rom and magisk as I am.

There are many GCam mods which support our camera. There is NO support of the 108 MP sensor but at least you can choose which camera to use - the main one, the ultra wide or the Macro Camera.
I have tested many different GCam mods - latest and previous versions.
Below you can see the pictures made today.
The camera is placed on a tripod and the focus point is on the same place.
In the picture name I have put the name of the GCam mod and version which is used.

Using the photos from these tests you can decide for yourself which camera you like
You can see the differences only if you zoom the pictures on a big good quality monitor. On the phone display they are the same ...
Below I'm posting the information about the GCam Mods which I tested and which supports our Redmi Note 10 Pro in the way described above:
The Camera with the best picture quality and detail according to my own tests and preferences are:
1. MIUI stock camera in 108 MP mode ...
The best GCam mods are
2. BSG GCam mod version 8.1 I have received the best results with this config Lupo-BSG-Gcam-mod-RedmiNoteo10Pro.xml which I modified a bit from the Alim config.
3. MIUI stock camera in Pro mode
4. MIUI stock camera in Photo mode
5. BSG GCam mod version 8.1 with some other config made from Ararsh
6. Urnyx v.7.3
7. Burial v.7.3
8. Urnyx v.8.1
9. Nikita v.7.4
10. Nikita v.8.1
11. trCamera v.7.4
Just for the test I have made 2 pictures also with my old Redmi Note 7 - just to be sure that the quality of the camera sensor of the newer Redmi Note 10 Pro 108MP is better when using GCam mod ...

Is there any possibillity to use the 108mp on any 3rd party rom? If not is that likely to change?

ANXCamera is a port of stock MIUI camera for custom roms and it works perfectly on my RN10Pro with PixelExperience. 108mpx works like a charm. You just need to flash 4 zips in TWRP in exact order:
1. Magisk apk (even if already have it, without that the rest of zips will throw errors)
2. ANXCamera zip
3. Redmi Note 10 Pro plugin for ANXCamera zip
4. Some patch zip that I don't remember how it was named.
Just type in Google "Redmi Note 10 Pro ANXCamera" and you will get links and instructions

I've noticed the MIUI cam is better than GCam even on other devices (RN7 Pro). Its the main reason I always stuck to MIUI based roms, usually EU. Its just gotten silly when ppl keep saying GCam is the best even when its not. For RN10 Pro, MIUI cam is a no brainer.

I'm using ANXCamera with AOSPExtended ROM + BSG GCam mod.
Definitely the original MIUI camera is the best one, but I have to say that the ANXCamera, which is MIUI camera port is working also very well with my Redmi Note 10 Pro - ANXCamera have very good support of my 108MP sensor, also the Pro mode is working as it is working on the original MIUI Camera!
In order to install the ANXCamera on a AOSP based ROM (Android Open Source project) you need Magisk and to flash few Magisk modules.
Very good Step by Step instruction how to install ANXCamera on Redmi Note 10 Pro you can find here:
ANXCamera 190R Sweet Downloads
IMPORTANT: If you have 108 MP sensor, DON'T install the 48MPFix For R and also if you are using AOSP based ROM install the libcameraservice which is at the bottom of this ANXCamera HOWTO above.

mine got boot looped.. help! my device is SweetIN - 8/128

Is there any way to get Dual Video or 108mp modes working with the latest test version of ANX?
