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

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.

Hi all,
I've seen what the E5 Plus can do:
12MP, f/2.0 aperture, 1.25um big pixels, LED flash, PDAF (Phase Detection Autofocus), Laser Autofocus, HDR, Panorama, Manual Mode, Burst Shot, Best Shot, QR code/Barcode Scanner, Slo-motion mode, Video Stabilization, 1080p video at 30fps
Seems like our Redmi 4X is capable of the above too. Can we get them?
try this https://windroidwiz.wordpress.com/2017/08/23/download-moto-z2-play-camera-port-for-all-phones/
i have installed this app on my Redmi 4X MIUI 10 Global beta 8.8.16 but since i haven't enabled the camera api due to Mi camera stops working. pro mode were missing, slow motion was not working, has 4k 30fps, has panorama mode, qr code also missing but again this features might will get working if camera2api. i am not sure if moto camera app requires camera2api to avail this functions. this port is from 2017.

How can you be so Dumb. How can you even expect to get these features. Those are hardware features and not software feature which you will get by installing a camera app you fool.

There's a possibility though. Chipset is the same, camera specs looks the same on paper. It's good to explore the possibility than getting a new phone. Why not do something useful for everyone than words like those?
Since my note 9 camera is buzzing/vibrating on 2 x zoom on the stock camera app,can anyone suggest another camera app which will produce crisp pictures and videos.The app should use full potential of the note 9 camera module,except for the the buzzy camera.
Thanks in advance.
Any camera app other than the stock camera will produce clearer pictures while zoomed in, simply because the telephoto camera (which is the culprit) is only available in the stock camera app. Digital zoom and the main lens is used instead; The best and in the end the most convenient solution is to simply replace the camera module.
Is there anyway to use the full 20mp in front facing camera.. All gcam takes default 5mp by pixel binding.. also flash didn't work like stock... It acts like a torch while capturing photo

i am using miui 12 pie and both stock and gcam are working at the same time .....
both have their advantages....
1. gcam uses pixel binning ( combining ) them
_so your camera is not really using 5mpx ..it is using max pixels merged into a 5mpx output_
_this might give you a good or better looking photo than some 20mpx sensors on some phones
_people use gcam because of Google's theoretical excellence in processing photos *** therefore better photos than stock ... because if you feel.stock has better photos than there is no argument for using gcam
2. gcam mods which allow you to choose to manually force the gcam to use the secondary ( aux ) exist ...you can use it in combo with magisk modules
_dont expect a giant leap in photo quality since our aux sensor is for low light ...and was never meant not even by Xiaomi to act as the main shooter
_stock camera changing between sensors automatically while in gcam.you will. have to.do.it manually _
_VERY IMPORTANTLy ...our aux sensor is NOT api2 compliant only our main sensor ...as per Xiaomi ...so Xiaomi needs to fix that if it can be fixed....that is why our phone isn't released with api2 enabled..
Options:
1. Use magisk module in stock rom to get stock camera
2. Use stock rom to use miui 12 pie to get both stock and gcam working at the same time
3. Use gcam with aux sensor select button in settings to activate it manually in custom rom
4. buy a jasmine or wayne device and donate it to gcam.modder or dev stating your wish that he/she fixes it so it runs how you feel.it should run
I'm pretty certain this info is old and if you looked you'd find all the magisk modules and gcams and mods and info floating around ...
go check out the official gcam mods page for devs working on cams for our device and try them.all to find the one you like best and maybe give them.a small donation
try out the stock cam magisk module to see if it works correctly on custom rom
failing that just your miui with magisk to have it all.
Stock makes great depth of field photos imho
Gcam takes richer photos in general like but if you aren't careful you might run in oversaturation ..more options
_you can enable arcore and ar stickers by magisk mod and using patched playground from gcam mods page
This doesn't seem to be a GCam issue... All camera apps just see 5MP for the front and secondary back camera. It's probably an internal issue with Camera2Api?
Has anyone with an Exynos device had the chance to test if Gcam works for all lenses in the new Oneui4? Also, how does the quality of photos seem in the normal camera app?
Gcam wichaya with s21 settings works well, sometimes better then Stock camera, but missing special focus and Max zoom
I have made a few posts about the Asus camera and became familiar with some of its less obvious details and features. Here’s some notes that apply mainly to daylight shots. I’ll make a separate post about night shots.
Asus 64MP Jpegs
You can take a 64MP Jpeg picture in one of three ways;
The normal camera’s “4:3 (64MP)”
The Pro camera’s “4:3 (64MP)”
And the Pro camera’s “RAW+JPG” settings
HDR processing is not used on the 64MP Jpegs so they are not suitable for general photography as they can lack detail in the highlights and shadows.
You might find a use for the normal camera’s 64MP Jpeg if you ever need the highest resolution Jpeg of a subject with limited dynamic range as it is slightly sharper than the normal camera’s 16MP HDR Jpeg.
I’d avoid ever using either of the Pro camera’s 64MP Jpegs - they are a lot more noisier than the normal camera’s 64MP Jpeg.
Asus Smaller Resolution Jpegs
All of the 16MP(and smaller sized) Jpegs have HDR processing and so will make better looking pictures than the 64MP Jpegs, especially for general subjects. They also have smaller file sizes than the 64MP pictures.
Asus Raw Files
Use the Pro camera’s “RAW+JPG” setting to record a 64MP DNG file if you want to make the very highest quality shots. I transfer the DNGs to my laptop and edit then in a Raw file editor, Capture One. Other Raw editors, such as Lightroom and Affinity Photo, etc, can be used. The noisy 64MP Jpeg that is recorded alongside the Raw file can be discarded.
Raw files are the best option to use if you want to produce the highest quality shot from a mobile phone. Jpeg files can be edited afterwards too, but Raw files contain lots more digital data than Jpegs and are more suited to post production. I use the Asus normal camera HDR Jpegs for general photography, but for special shots use either the Asus 64MP Raw or the the Wichaya GCam Raw files and edit them afterwards.
The final look of an edited Raw file depends on your skill, experience and preferences. But the edited 64MP (9168x6872 pixels) Asus Raw beats the 16MP (4560x3416 pixels) Wichaya GCam Raw, as it is definitely sharper and more finely detailed.
However you won’t see much difference between these two edited Raw files unless you view them alongside each other at the same viewing size - i.e. Asus at 100%, Wichita at 200%. So for general purposes either and be used. (See attached screenshot)
Although the Asus Raw is sharper it is also grainier, especially in smoother, less detailed areas - but sharp detail is more important than visible grain if you ever need to make large prints.
Asus camera fast startup
You can open the Asus camera from the lock screen without entering a pin code or unlocking the phone. At the bottom right corner of the lock screen is a small symbol - swipe it up to open the Asus camera without unlocking the phone.
Gallery app Raw file previews
When you open a Raw file in an editor app it has almost no color, the highlights are white and shadows are black. The camera’s gallery app shows you a preview of how it looks as a Jpeg.
Asus camera vs Wichaya GCam
All of my previous tests have shown the Asus stock camera produces better looking pictures than the Wichaya Gcam, at least in my opinion. They are punchier, better exposed and have a more accurate white balance. They are, however, generally over-sharpened and highlights are over-smoothed. When enlarged they look flatter and less natural that the Wichaya GCam shots.
Unfortunately the Asus camera allows no control over sharpness, highlights and shadow detail, HDR intensity, etc. Wichaya’s GCam Ram Patcher settings let you adjust many parameters but so far I have not been able to alter them to look as good as the Asus camera. I look forward to the Wichays’s next GCam version and hope to have more success.
If you have used a different GCam APK that produces better results than the Asus camera please share your findings, preferable with comparison pictures - I’m sure Zenfone 8 users would be interested.
