Hey guys, do you know any gcam version work with locked and no-root Mix 2 running stock MIUI 11. Currently, I installed old 2.5 version of Gcam and it worked fine. I already tried serveral 5.1, 6, 7 version mods but no luck.

Hello,
does anyone know how to fix the landscape mode in the front camera, because our camera is on the bottom is ok if I turn it upside down but in landscape it keeps rotating to the wrong place (shutter button on the same side as the camera)

I'm using Gcam_6.2.030_Advanced_V2.1.190614.0200.apk

Thanks.

Any suggestions? Im just wondering if its possible to have it working like the default miui camera that lets you have the shutter button on the opposite side of the camera sensor

Without camera2api enabled it can work but without any improvement than stock. It's a no-sense.

How to flash magisk manager in?

Now my mix 2 stock miui11, I have unlocked bootloader and use adb to add setprop persist.camera.HAL3 to 1 and persist.vendor.camera.HAL3 to 1.
But nothing change when I check the manual camera app, it still all red.

Hello, what is the longest time you had in the Astrophotography mod on MIX 2? I could achieve only 15sec. (the longer exposure the better)

There's not too much info here so I thought I'd give my opinion.
I've tried about a dozen different Gcam mods from celsoazevedo over the past year.
The one that works the best for me with Mix 2 Pie and Xiaomi.eu rom is:
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/MGC_MI6_MAX2.1.apk

There are some other similar ones here as well.

Note: I am rooted with magisk and have edited the build prop file.
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
persist.vendor.camera.HAL3.enabled=1

Slo-mo doesn't work for me either, but you could try this version from Urnyx05 if you have Android 9:
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/GCam-6.2.030_Arnova8G2_Urnyx05-v2.5.apk
Others:

He tests with several phones, one of them being a Mix 2.
Don't bother trying any versions above 6.3 as they are focused on Android 10.

Hi I have tested dozens of gcam version too.
There are some that I like but most have some combination of things doesn't work for me, either:
1. Portrait mode (no image at all)
2. Front camera (Most can show, doesn't capture. Some can capture, but give blurry image)
3. Auto Focus
4. Touch to Focus
5. Auto White Balance

I'm on official Los16, with Magisk installed but no related modules installed as I know camera2api is enabled by default.

Currently the closest one for me is the MGC_MIX2S_VENOM_Q.apk from Alexey070315.
Everything works except Front camera not capturing.

Am I missing something important? Please shine a light.

p.s. Also, anybody has a FingerPrint Shutter Magisk module that works on Chiron?
Thanks!

    Hello everybody. I want to share my experience on Mi Mix 2 with Gcam.
    First of all i suggest to instal the latest global stable rom as it looks has better ram managment and battery life. unlock bootloader flash official twrp and instal magisk.
    In magisk you will find a module called Pixel experience it adds the nececery files in build.prop to make the gcam run with no problems. You can choose if you want pixel launcher too.
    After installing the module reboot. Sometimes after reboot wifi doesnt work so reboot again maybe wipe cache/dalvik helps.
    Instal this version of gcam
    Gcam <---press
    Rember any time you make a chenge in settings of Gcam you must terminate tge app to take effect.
    Screenshots from my gcam settings( some are in Greek language)
    Notice higher hdr+ parameters means more time to take the image so if it is a dark place to take photo will take more time to take the photo. (Sry for my english)
    Edit: Dont enable 4k in front picture it doesnt work.
    Also dont enable the night mode that removes the reddish bla bla bla... it doesnt work.
    60fps doesnt work.You can record a video but 1st is dark and 2nd is still in 30fps.

    If you want the moving picture you must enable the motion option but it doesnt work the HDR+ you will notice that. To see the motion picture(moving) you need the google photos app to see it moving. Doesnt work with stock album.
    Any mode that doesnt totally works with Gcam you can do it with stock cam example the slow motion.
    Any question ask me...

    I've been testing more and more of these camera apps. I'm running Lineage OS 15.1, and I just wanted a camera that works, without having to do a lot of modifications and tweaks to get it working.

    Out of the box, this one "just worked":
    GoogleCamera_5.2.025-Final_fu24-18.apk (fu24, 2019-01-25)
    * has working Slow Motion
    * has Portrait Photo
    It's missing newer stuff like Night Sight and Google Lens, but everything seemed to work flawlessly.

    This one needs to be changed to init SlowMo at 120fps, but so far seems to have the most working features:
    MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-based_v.1.3d_TlnNeun_2.apk (Arnova8G2, 2018-12-30)
    * has sorta working Slow Motion (it only records in 1280x720, and stutters). Slow Motion can be disabled and removed from its interface, though.
    * has Portrait Photo
    * has Night Sight
    * has Google Lens
    You have to go to Settings > Advanced > FIX > "Init SlowMo with" and set to 120 FPS to get Slow Motion to work.

    I recommend the first camera if you don't need Night Sight. Luckily, both can be installed at the same time, and they even have different colored icons.

    Yep true. Can we expect a fix for pixel2017 hdr+ as it is best in capturing people, pets and moving subjects
    I am going to modify to config hdr + the use of auto mode
    Auto = Pixel 2017
