As the title says, i have note 9s with pixel exprience rom and magisk.
I just noticed in gcam, i have only main cera and front camera! There are no such things as macro or wide!
I dont think i had these problems on lineage os (or did i? I dont really know)
Is there anyway to make rom recognize those cameras? (Like drivers or magisk modules or something?)
Anx camera doesn't support my device so i have no choice
I really like Pixel exprience (i like having google apps as my default apps, not like lineage os or miui who have their own apps. I also like the Quick tap, gaming mode and Material you present in android 12 and much more of android 12... Its hard to go back from android 12 to something else)
Also, i have tried this:
Did you figure out how to do it? I have the same scenario with my Xiaomi 10 lite 5G...
OK. I hade the macro and wide lenses in PE, but then switched to Lineage, and now they're gone -- even if I use gcamator to install gcam
Anyone with a fix??

If you want stock android on your Realme X, you should check out Arrow OS gsi.
If you want to unlock bootloader/root/flash twrp, check out Mod edit: removed
Still some messing features like inscreen fingerprint reader and front facing camera not working, but for me it's a small price to pay for smooth stock android experience.
Here's a couple of images

I appreciate your attempt, but I just can't accept the nonfunctional of front camera.
I uninstalled all not necessary apps in the ColorOS, and it becomes so much more smooth now.
hope in future it will work

Same as others say, non functional fingerprint & front camera are way too high a price to pay for stock android. Unofficial lineage os 16 too is available but with the same issues. Launchers and icon packs doing the job for now. Kernel sources are out, so let's hope the fix soon.
Hi guys,
I just bought this phone and tried some custom rom, and it works perfectly!
I have just a couple of questions about the camera,
How can I know if, for example, the google camera port is using the telelens instead the main camera?
I just love to have the pixel experience on my mi8 but, I want also to be able to use all the cameras in my phone. I also searched the 4k60fps option in google camera or im ANXCamera but the maximum setting is 4k30fps.
I tried to learn something more in some thread and i found that many people talks about the impossible to access the second camera through the api2.
I'm honest, I don't have the knowledge to understand all that, so I'm asking you, did you know some guide that can help me out?
I just want to know if with an aosp rom is possibile to access the full potential of mi8 camera, nothing else. I wish I could use some google experience instead the miui but with a complete camera app.
Thank you
Thomas
It's taken some doing but I've been able to unlock and root my Bold N1. (bricked it 3 times before I figured it out, luckily I found all the tools/files I need to flash back to stock).
For Now I have it on the stock rom but rooted via Magisk.
My only issue is I NEED to replace the camera app. The phone is AMAZING for the price point (the screen alone is worth the price) but the camera is total garbage.
I was Hoping GCAM could salvage some of that for me.
So far I hear some folks have had luck with GCAM 6.1.20 but I haven't been able to. I can get it to install but the app crashes a few minutes after I load it up. And once crashes it won't start up again until I delete cache/data on the app.
I've been searching the net for a few weeks now looking for the best GCAM Port for Mediatek Helio P70 phones but so far no real luck.
I've tried using Magisk modules to force it (bricked my device and had to wipe to stock) tried to modify the build.prop (even though the phone is already camera2api enabled) needless to say that didn't work either.
Anyone find a good GCAM Port yet? I mean the phone is camera2api enabled out of the box so it shouldn't be so hard to find a good Port. The P70 is a popular SoC and with all those GCAM devs out there Im surprised this is so hard to find. Ive tried ports that say they're for a phone with the same SoC but they fail as well. (the realme 3 has the same SoC and a working GCAM Port but I can't get it running on my bold)
At this point the camera is the only thing stopping me from putting my iPhone x in a drawer and making this my daily driver.
Only real version I've found that work is this one...
Fairly old version.
Try Open Camera

I don't know if you found a working gCam app for the Bold N1, but if not, try using Open Camera (free with no ads in the Google Play store). For me, it totally has saved the Bold N1's photography and I actually prefer it over to gCam (which I used on an Essential Phone) due to all the different options and manual control.
One thing Open Camera cannot do, however, is make artifical bokeh ("portrait mode" on many phones). So I use Google Camera (also free with no ads in the Google Play Store; not to be confused with gCam, which is ported from the Pixel) and its Lens Blur function for that purpose. Otherwise I use Open Camera for everything else.
What is purpose of this prop? It appeared after android 10 update. I could not find any information about it but I cannot use second rear camera with any third party apps. I tried changing camera.aux.packagelist, vendor.camera.aux.packagelist, persist.vendor.camera.expose.aux, I also added persist.camera.expose.aux but apps still can't detect second rear camera. Does anyone know values of prop in the title?
Thanks in advance.
Edit: persist.vendor.camera.switch.aux=unknown
If you want to use the second cam on the rear you need different things:
1. A gcam that can switch between cams like the latest The_Dise version here: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-the_dise/#apk1549
2. You also need the Magisk module to enable the auxiliary buttons. You can download this from within The_Dise's gcam or from here directly: https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/dmgcaux_v1.zip
3. You need a ROM that can handle it. It didn't work on stock for me, but on Pixel Experience it works.
All and all it was not worth the trouble in my opinion, but I just wanted to test it. I think it has more purpose for the higher end phones with more different cams on their back.
I have Redmi 8 with MIUI 12.0.1.0 (QCNINXM)
When I take a picture with GCam, it shuts down automatically and the picture is not saved.
I have tried many versions.
Kindly suggest me a better version thats works without error.
I personally use the TRcamera from this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/all-working-google-camera-in-redmi-8-video-hdr-4k-astro.4165541/
if you do not like this camera, in the same post there is a google camera, good experiments
