Hi! I'd like to get Google Camera app with HDR+ on my Xiaomi Mi A1

I'm with you! Wanna buy this smartphone but the fact that it's not have Google camera ported yet stops me from buying.

Hi! I'd like to get Google Camera app with HDR+ on my Xiaomi Mi A1, but the official XDA port doesn't work. I've heard of some people using the app in SD625 devices, and the Mi A1 has the 625 SoC, so in theory it may be possible to port the app... I can't code, so does anyone know something about a download link that works on Mi A1 or can mod the XDA apk to work on the Mi A1?

Almost every ported gcam works on mia1, have you enabled Camera 2 api ? it needs that enabled to work.

Anyway , you find all these ports on this thread

I don't know how to enable the API: please explain me, if you can. Moreover, is it possible to add EIS to the stock camera or at least in Google Camera ported?

If you are rooted you have to add below line in build.prop -

persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1

after that reboot. you will have working gcam with HDR+. although the slomo option won't work. and you will have EIS too in gcam.

where to add these lines in build prop ?

Anywhere. for example add at the end of build.prop.

Is it possible to modify build.prop without root? Or is it possible to root the phone without having a PC nearby?

1.No unless you have custom recovery which mia1 doesn't have yet.
2. nope.

i think Google camera hdr+ need a snapdragon 820++ isn't it?

 

[gougous3]

@thewarrior2 It doesn't, it needs a 64bit OS and a snapdragon SoC packing a certain Hexagon DSP

 

[phonequestion]

Can anybody post comparison pictures of hdr+ and stock xiaomi camera app? I am really interested in seeing the results before buying this phone.

visit mi 5s section for example there is alot of detail with hdr+

 

[Rakibboss]

Is there really any difference?? i am confused.. My redmi note 3 pro can take better pic with Google camera than this mi a1

If you cant find the difference by looking at the samples posted, then you dont need HDR+.

But the fact is the difference is night and day!
Google is primarily known for software, which is what HDR+ is all about.. It uses the camera h/w, takes many pics when you click the shutter button, each in different contrast, and applies some kick-ass machine learning algorithms on every pixel of each groups of pics it took, fuses all of them, to get awsome looking pics.. Thats all it does, and thats all that no other stock camera app does from any other manufacturer. Thats why it beats even iphone.
So basically, google does more through software , what all others achieve through multiple h/w.. Reason why pixel 2 still has single Camera.

I said the redmi note 3 pro has better performance with Google camera than this A1.. That's why i said, i am confused

 

[crewster]

So... does this camera work after modifying build.prop? Could someone upload a few pics comparing the original camera app to this one?
