all gcams i try keeps on crashing. i think its because im currently using miui global 10.2.3?
edit* i also edited build.prop corretly, inserting the code line to enable lvl 3 camera2api stats, but never got passed from lvl FULL. =/

You can't use with Android Nougat/7.0,7.1 etc. I suggest you to install pixel exp 9.0.

Thanks a lot for your post.
Seems like the Mi5s still have capacity for nice pictures even if it is not so new
Thanks a lot !

It's a very helpful post, thank you! I just switched to Lineage for change of taste and customizations in Pie. I will try some of these gcams right away. It's a very big shame that Xiaomi dropped support of this powerful model for new Android releases, unbelievable. I wish someone could pick up Treble support at least so we can have Miui with Pie. Unrelated a bit sorry, öfkemi kusmam lazımdı bir şekilde. Elinize emeğinize sağlık.

I had a very Good Gcam, but i don't know the version. I reset my Mi5s and put the Mini Global 10.2.3.0.
I tried install the version in the post but i didn't...
It's a problem with the Miui that I have? I need help please
