Camera 2 API Fix?

After applying jigs4wkiller's zip to my mi5s for the camera2 API fix as well as google camera I noticed that the openCamera app still did not detect that the device was capable of using the camera2 API. I later learned it is because openCamera requires that the device's android.hardware.camera.level is equal to limited, full, or level3. In the case of the mi5s, it is set to null. Is there any way to fix this?

I use openCamera for its great manual controls which can only be accessed if it detects that the device supports the camera2 API.

Also, the google camera 60fps feature does not seem to be working properly when using MGCB_7.0H_C2API_Full_PXL2_v.1.4.apk which leads me to believe that something else is wrong.

Try another manual camera app like Freedcam or ProShot because for me the Manuel controls works in every camera app excepted open camera

Maybe a problem with the mediaprofiles.xml

Freedcam appears to have stopped development(thread is closed, no download link), and really would rather not buy ProShot when it doesn't even have a 4/5 on play store. Any other recommendations for a manual camera? I've tried Cinema fv 5, filmic pro and cinema 4k and none of them are better then open camera for filming imo.

Just checked my mediaprofiles.xml, and the main 1080p profiles aswell as the encoder max fps profile are set to 60 fps.

Not worth? I have proshot and it is the best camera app for the mi5s, total manual.
