Created this thread to share working settings for our Mix 2 + IMX 386 on the latest Modded Google Cam. Feel free to share your working setups for Google Cam
Version Google Cam V4.0
ROM: Xiaomi.eu 9.22
Settings: See picture attachments below
What doesnt work:
HDR+ with Flash On
Autofocus
Tap to focus
Manual Focus Fix:
Swipe left to go into video mode and tap to focus before going back into picture mode
It have the same main camera sensor as Mi 6 which also do not have autofocus and touch to focus to work.
It's quite annoying when it doesn't have HDR+ and autofocus together, hope it can be fixed in future version

You can manual focus using this workaround: Swipe left to go into video mode and tap to focus before going back into picture mode
Does the new version of Google GCam mod support Autofocus yet?
Has anyone tried the Google Camera v5.1 yet?
Link: https://www.androidcentral.com/pixe...motion-photos-and-other-features-working-some
I tried to install google camera,installed successfully,but stop working. keep give me error. so I can not run it.
If you want to test the latest versions for Modded Google Cam, check the MIi6 thread related to this, there are regular updates as soon as they are released by the original modders:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-6/themes/google-camera-hdr-t3655762
What I found out: The Oneplus Camera also works on Mi Mix 2.
Also I think this is the original thread for the modded Google Camera: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/modded-google-camera-hdr-60fps-video-t3658552/ and it works for the Mi Mix 2 too.

Does not work for me. Are you on miui or custom rom? Which version of gcam worked for you?
MIUI EU ROM and Magisk + Camera2 API Enabler Magisk Module
how is the mix2 with this, any samples? im considering this because ive had enough of the s8 and want pure android with the performance to boot, where as the s8 just doesn't cut it but the camera is amazing
Autofocus doesnt work with HDR/HDR+ enabled. The camera works fine with auto focus without HDR features. I HDR+ is the reason why you want this mod then we are out of luck, its no better than the default MIUI cam.. may be a tad better NR processing on low light images.

Are you sure auto focus works for the default cam app when having HDR enabled? It doesn't at least for me. Thus I see no difference between GCam mod, Oneplus camera and default camera. Also, manually focusing seems to work without the left swipe.

So, I am writing this based on my experience on my Mi6 (Mi Mix 2 still has a locked bootloader for now), when you activate the HDR+ the autofocus will die, at that point you focus in Video mode, go back to Photo and take the picture.
In that way the HDR+ is working properly and as expected. You just need to keep your hands steady.
Also, on Mi6 has been reported that the Autofocus is working now with the latest version (with some bugs and messing around with the OmniVision module):

I found a fix on a youtube channel for portrait mode for front camera after a lot of googling. The key is to set a manual iso (idk why) while using front camera. The link to that is here
https://drive.google.com/file/d/16BT6C02pgvO3usJxCe8C0u_sVi9CbMOI/view?usp=sharing
Instruction -
Enable camera2api.
Download app, instalL.
Open settings and then do the settings u like.(i use pixel 2 and pixel 2017 zsl+ ) and other obvious settings( like turning on portrait mode etc.)
After that set the MANUAL FIXED BLACK LEVEL ONSET to 63.50 and enable.
Now everytime you use the front camera you have to turn that left slider (which i think is of iso) to 100 or any other value from auto, then hdr+ and portrait mode in front camera will also work.
This is not my work , i am only sharing it.
Credits to people who made this (arnovag2 ,TCHNO VKKI youtube channel guy etc.)
This is my first post and i dont really know what to add in your posts ,(also not liking typing this much) but i thought everyone should know this fix.
Hit thanks if this helped you.(actually idk what thanks is for LOL)
Cheers!

It works, thanks! Tested on redmi 4x with MIUI9.2. Just don't go with the ISO too high. ISO3200 and above force crash camera app.

Bro please read the post. The versions mentioned in video is not fully functional(even described in video). Overall the points I mentioned its nowhere shown. I personally tested more than 30 Gcam mod including those 2 of video. You can test those sections even on those apps alongside other mod versions found here.
May i know whats the difference between those apk supports and Unsupported config file xml? I m on Stock Rom.. Unrooted, Fully stock. Nothing modified in my device. Which one will work fine?

Use cases of .xml file:
This can be used for a few things. For example:
Quickly switch between the best settings for low light and day light;
Use recommended settings from devs/other users for your phone;
Move between versions without loosing your settings;
Keep unstable features enabled on one config but disabled on another;

All the app mod mentioned above is for stock rom (with/without root,doesn't matter). All will work flawlessly.
What is config file?
Google Camera 6.1 versions support export/import of config(.xml) files, allowing users to use the settings of other users. You can also share your settings with other users to provide them best output. Besides this , you can quickly load different settings for different lightning conditions.
If you don't want to use any 3rd party settings, just use 6.2 versions.

Enjoy the new camera app.
I could install the app with luckypatcher. New iu feels fresh and nice. But it looks like a portrait mode on a frontal camera doesn't work properly, it blurs everything.
UPD: the portrait mode works, it needs Ratio 4:3 to be set.

Like mentioned above, you have to set the ratio for the front camera to 4:3 then the portrait selfies will work as they should At least it does for me.

It's a straight upgrade/update on my 3a (though it does warn that it's a "dogfood" AKA pre-beta APK). That means that- so far - there is no reason it can't install on any Pixel.

Maybe he's running either Pie or a Pie-based AOSP ROM? (Despite 10/Q being available, some folks have refused to move.)

for me didnt worked sow your post
It is now on the PlayStore - as Camera 7.2. If you have an earlier version installed (unmodded, of course), update. For me (Pixel 3a), the biggest gain is still NightSight; if I needed the AstroPhotography mode, the same improvements that show up in NightSight would be useful there, too. My biggest quibble is the same one that was present with the previous Camera app; motion is on by default.. (Where I'm curious is WHY it's on by default - the default with other OEM/ODM camera apps is to shoot stills.) Because of the NightSight improvements, it's a worthwhile update for the Pixel 3a and earlier - especially if you take low-light shots - and given the time of year, you likely will.
So, anybody using Cstark's PXv4.x camera mod on the Pixel 3a? Are there major improvements?
Does this install alone or does it replace stock cam?

I use it, works great, no issues found, but i did not made many pictures..
It installs as a new package, so you can use booth (or deactivate Google Camera wo you'll only have one in your app drawer)
PRO:
- set portrait zoom to 1.5 instead of 3.0
- Astrography mode switch
- many more settings to try out
CONS:
- Selecting Google Lens does not work, but you can use it easily from the app in the Playstore.
Just install it and try it for yourself, if you don't like it, you can uninstall it in a breeze.

These camera apps will install as a second camera. They do not replace the stock camera app and they can both be installed at the same time (just like any other 3rd party camera app). You can select the PX Camera to act as the default camera, but the OEM camera is available in the apps draw.
I'm running Camera PX 4.1 (version 7.2.014) right now. It adds a bunch of extra settings that are definitely helpful. One of the best features is bringing back Smart Burst mode (where the camera takes a series of high quality images while you hold the shutter button down). This was taken away by Google when they introduced the dumb video feature which only provides one high quality image and the rest are really low quality.
It probably won't make a noticeable difference in picture quality for normal pictures, but might in night or astro mode.
The only "downside" or feature not working in PX 4.1 is the "Google Lens" function. Selecting that mode doesn't actually do anything. I have to use the OEM camera right now if I want to use Google Lens. Hopefully that bug is fixed in the next version. Everything else works as expected.
Wow...
Gcam apk for my Pixel device???

Hi guys.
Pixel 3a with December 2019 updated on Android 10.
No Rooting done.
I also have a MiA3 with gcam apk installed.
The selfie on MiA3 with gcam come off better than on my P 3A.
Why is that? They have better dynamic range and details as well(on zooming).

Little off topic, but i thought the same about my nokia 7 plus with GCam.
Thing is the fixed focus on the pixel front cam. You need to hold the phone more far away to get nice selfies.
Try the modded version mentioned in this topic. i think Cstark made improvements to the front cam too

Thanks for replying.
But I had Pixel 3 before 3A(switched due to atrocious battery life), and even in that I felt that the selfie camera was ok.
The situation with my 3a is similar to my friends iPhone 11, great back camera but ok front one.
Oh well....

Nothing special really......
I have "4k Smart Burst", "Restore Smart Burst" turned on and "Super Res Xoom Always On". Portrait Zoom set to 1.5x. "AI AWB for HDR+ Enhanced" turned On and "AI AWB for Night Sight" turned on.
I don't do anything with Lib patcher. I figure the stock settings are about as good as they are going to get.
I have tried Gcam and MIUI Camera magisk module, but none of them allow me to use the full extent of 48MP camera on the device, photos taken in GCAM show up as photos taken from a 12MP camera and the ones taken from the MIUI cam is shown as those taken from a 8MP Camera, how can I use the full extent of 48MP Camera?
Just saying , Im using the Unofficial Superior OS Rom, based on A13

not possible
MIUI cam depends heavily depends from the ROM configurations, MIUI core and libs for it to work. those need to be built into the ROM in default
thats why you get those 8MP shots
on my redmi note 9 pro, ROMs that fail on these dependencies above will take shots of much lower resolution from the 64MP camera, and even worse from the pixel binning (16MP, basically the "Photo" mode in the viewfinder), including the failure of some camera modes, like portrait.
these dependencies need to be from their own phone, so, the redmi note 9 pro has to have its original MIUI camera core and libs, so does the redmi note 10 5g.
ROMs cannot have another phones dependecies or else it would probably be a bricking ROM (if those are built in, same for flashing systemless camera modules sometimes)
GCam is a normal phenomenon, GCam always uses pixel binning.
for instance, the redmi note 9 pro has pixel binning from 64MP down to 16MP.
the redmi note 10 5g has from 48MP down to 12MP, thats your result
64/4=16
48/4=12
this occurence of pixel binning is the process of combining pixels into larger ones, capturing more light and reducing artifacts on the photo. however, most of the detail is preserved, therefore there shouldnt be any issues on the general quality
theres really no possible way of using the 48MP camera sensor to offer a high-resolution image. however, you can use the upscaling function (if it’s available in the GCam port you installed) to enlarge your picture. but take note, it won’t have any effect on the image’s quality and it will remain just like the 12mp one (basically resizing a 2000x2000 picture to 4000x4000), making any gallery app think it is a high-resolution image and let you zoom in.

for instance, the redmi note 9 pro has pixel binning from 64MP down to 16MP.
the redmi note 10 5g has from 48MP down to 12MP, thats your result
64/4=16
48/4=12
this occurence of pixel binning is the process of combining pixels into larger ones, capturing more light and reducing artifacts on the photo. however, most of the detail is preserved, therefore there shouldnt be any issues on the general quality
theres really no possible way of using the 48MP camera sensor to offer a high-resolution image. however, you can use the upscaling function (if it’s available in the GCam port you installed) to enlarge your picture. but take note, it won’t have any effect on the image’s quality and it will remain just like the 12mp one (basically resizing a 2000x2000 picture to 4000x4000), making any gallery app think it is a high-resolution image and let you zoom in.
