Heya, does anyone else have issues with recording videos on MIUI11.0.9 android 9 (no root) and MGC_7.3.020_Parrot043_V8.apk? I think Parrot043 was recommended here for RN8 and the issue I have is the videos I record do not get saved! Can't see them in the gallery, I can't access them straight from the camera itself too. Suggestions anyone?

Maybe there's a different version of the GCam you prefer on your RN8?

Try GCam 7.2 and below, saves videos properly.

Thanks a bunch, I'll try different versions of Parrot's Gcam and maybe trcam as well.

The videos got recorded but appeared in the Gallery app with quite a delay, I saw them there just today.

If I find a gcam version that works for me, I'll post here.

here's some versions that work well for me:
Urnyx05: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog1218/ good for wide and macro support (if you're rooted)
Parrot043: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog1239/ good for customisation, getting the best quality from your photos

trCam is rather famous and would do what you want. Urnyx (if I spelled right) also does a good job.

Just downloaded trcamera for my Note 8T and it's working nicely. Had no idea my stock front camera photos were lacking detail until I compared with trcamera! So much more detail!

Anyway, is there anyway to change the location where photos are saved? I would like to save to my SD card by default, was able to do this with the stock camera.

TIA...
