If you're getting weird green/yellow high-contrast pictures when using the Telephoto lens, I found disabling HDR+ will fix it.
You need to enable "HDR+ control" in the Advanced settings in order to toggle HDR+ off. It is on by default.

Hello guys, I'm going to get the phone tomorrow, and I am wondering, from all these versions you guys used, what is the most stable and good one overall? (I don't need slow-motion tho)

Guys what setting are you using in those options - Custom libs, HDR+ Enchanced Frames and Pixel AWB in HDR+ Enhanced. Thx
Urnyx05 , san1ty, xtrme, there are so far these 3 dev who do the gcam mod for us. Have you tried all of them? What are the differences? i think xtrme version is based on gcam 6.1.. not 6.2. any comments?
Really amazing night shots, so much better than the stock one. Do you guys use any limbs/custom settings that may enhance the quality even better?

What is Google Camera (AKA GCam)?
Google Camera is the camera app for the Google Nexus and Google Pixel phones. It is not designed or intended to be run on other phones.
What is HDR+?
HDR+ is Google's proprietary image processing routine. HDR+ employs image stacking to control exposure, and also to preserve details, reduce noise, increase sharpness, etc. It is an all-in-one package.
Installation instructions
Download APK to your Phone and Install it (No Root needed)

URNYX VERSION CHANGELOG:
FAQ GOOGLE CAM
I CAN'T INSTALL X VERSION, WHY?
Make sure you uninstall every other GCam Port on your phone. You can't have both versions installed.
HOW DO YOU SWITCH BETWEEN CAMERAS?
(6.2) Settings > Advanced > Auxiliary Camera and enable the Buttons
HOW DO YOU USE NIGHTSIGHT WITH THE DIFFERENT LENS ?
Select the lens in main mode, then switch to Night Mode
HOW DO YOU USE MANUAL FOCUS (SLIDER) ?
If you want to use it with enhanced HDR+, you need to disable focus tracking. Or else it will only work with regular HDR+.
Also the way it works is you set a focus distance, tap once into the viewfinder, then tap the shutter button.
WHY THE FRONT CAMERA IS 5MP AND BACK CAMERA 12MP ?
Selfie camera uses pixel binning, same as for the main sensor. Since camera2api implementation only delivers a 5MP raw stream (20MP/4 = 5MP because of pixel binning)
GCam can only work with what raw stream the API delivers.
HOW DO YOU TAKE PHOTOS FASTER ?
Enable HDR+ instead of HDR+ Enhanced
DOES GCAM WORK IN AOSP BASED ROMS ?
Yes
THANKS TO @Urnyx05Ref: https://xdaforums.com/Mi-9/themes/xiaomi-mi9-googlecam-port-t391003422Hi, since I see everyone without knowing which one uses,I will tell you the differences here.
-Xtreme, it has different profiles available a that works better in different conditions, you can pick the sharp.xml for day light pics and the night.xml for Night Shot only pics. I will add my profile that has the best (in my opinion) image quality, contrast and saturation in average. So you dont need to change the profile each time. Xtreme can achieve 48Mp in main camera settings, but won´t work on certain profiles, it will reduce by software to 12Mp, with the 1-4 Pixel information, that takes a 48Mp pic and resamples it to 12Mp to get more detail and light. Selfie 5Mp max.
Video 1080 60p, 4k 30p, 720 240p.
- Urnyx is the good to go apk, it can work without profiles and is almost ready. The night shot is slightly better than xtreme if you are not using the Night.xml The main camera gets to 12Mp, unlike Xtreme. Selfie 5Mp max.
Video 1080 60p, 4k 30p, 720 240p.
- Arnova, it was the first attempt to mod the Gcam, it is not very stable in Xiaomi Mi9 and so it is not on Mi 9T. The software process is kinda bad at this time. We would see if it can get to be better than Urnyx and Xtreme. I won´t set any parameters or info since it crashes with almost every photo taken.
Video won't work on wide lense at 12/8/2019.
Video can't achieve 4k 60p, it is hardware limited because of the Sony Sensor, which is worse only in video than that of Mi9 / Mi9Se / Mi 9T pro. But in camera capabilities it's the same sensor so we have that.
Electronic stabilization is not available on video (max 1080 60p) yet in both urnyx and extreme, but there is on pictures so we have steady shots.

The best apk overall today would be https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog641/
The Xtreme MGC Beta 10 with the following options we can achieve the best day light and saturated pics. At night it is recommended to always use Night Shot lowering the Ilumination manually in the screen after selecting ZnWhizzMI9T profile
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/f/download/ZnWhizz.Mi9T.Xcam6b7a.StdV1.xml, once done we change the following parameters:
- HDR Parameters: 12
- HDR enhanced Auto White: Pixel 2
- Resolution : 48Mp back
- Final jpg quality: 100%
- Control HDR+: enabled
- If the saturation level with green pictures (such as that reflective green on some sports Tshirts is too much, set the HDR parameter to 9)
I will submit my profile so you only have to upload it. Any addition to this is welcome.
Let´s rock with our Mi 9T
(I am adding my profile here, I hope you enjoy it)11The actual difference in Gcam vs Stock
I will provide you a variety of photo taken with the main and wide lenses to explain the differences in Gcam vs Stock.
Gcam: Xtreme_MGC_6_1_021_x...Beta10
Miui Stock: Camera 3.0 / Miui Global 10.3.12
In the main sensor, differences in day light recalls in the White Balance so far, image quality and sharpness are almost the same (Because Stock does a very nice job), where we can find a distance is in the pictures where a Person is supposed to be (Such as Portrait Mode or a Selfie Lense) where Gcam has better quality image overall and those taken with low light condition.
Overall, we can see that Stock applies a warmer setting, while Gcam would get closer to get the "real temperature" color, being the one closer to reality. If we take the AI mode Off. the warmer temperature goes off and it gets colder than it should be. So as I like a warmer photo over colder I let the AI mode by default.
The night mode gives back less noise than Stock Night Shot.
The wide lense on the other side is always better in the Gcam, no discussion here, better light interpretation in day and better quality and picture itself when light is not on point.
Telephoto, contrary as wide lense is always better in the MIUI Stock Camera, somehow Gcam doesn´t get to use it, and I think that it is just a Software Zoom.
The one with the watermark are those taken by the Miui Stock Camera. Both Apps have the same config. HDR On, and everything else in auto. (Miui Camera has the AI mode, so it can have that high saturation and make it a Fair Fight).
If you need the differences in other scenarios, I will give your more, like a Night Picture focusing the Moon or a Bar, where light can be tricky. :laugh:7Urnyx's 2.4 Lib Custom
