On my Mi Note 10, aux3 has the same field of view as the main cam. Also, it is in 4/3 aspect ratio regardless of the xml loaded.

I am giving up on finding a gcam for regular use. I have discovered open cam and find it the most functional cam app for my phone. It is satisfactory and reliable for daily use, but is weak in low light. So I am also keeping miniflex for ns.
Did you download the correct fu24_a9 from the google drive link? That version actually has the camera lenses labeled as 5x, 2x, main, and 0.6x. I had the same problem on some of the other fu24 ports but the drive link corrects it.

Thanks for pointing me to the Google drive download. Yes, all cameras work. However, any digital zoom still results in very low res pictures.

If you just need one for NS don't use miniflex, that I love but not for NS.
For NS and portrait I strongly suggest you DMGC, also fast.
I'd like to keep it just for NS and portrait but I couldn't as my main drive is miniflex which cannot be installed together with DMGC:

(just turn off superres or it'll crash)

Ps anyway x2 from Fu24 is much better than x2 from stock, the issue may be with X5 if you meant this...

Why you install gcam on mi note 10. I understand other 12 mpix phones, but why in mi note 10 27-108 mpix. Photos will be always worse..or maybe I dont know about something

Several gcam builds can output 27mp pictures on the mi note 10, so the results will not be worse. The stock cam does quite well in low light, but the night mode does not compare to gcam night sight. For me though, the main reason for abandoning the stock cam is bugs. All versions of gcam have serious shortcomings for daily use. I have found open cam to be the most convenient replacement for the stock cam.

I think Miniflex NS mode is very fine with invertedAWB. But I just noticed under low light conditions, increasing HDR parameter to more than 7 (which s the default value) is a very bad idea. The more HDR frames the darker and less details is the nightshot

Yeah. But I've found that cropping/zoom after taking a 27mp photo still has good detail. Not sure on the how they would come out on the zoom lenses.

Fu24 can output 27mp photos.

Miniflex is giving me very strange colors in back camera, did you guys change anything for Mi note 10?
Forget to mention but by going with savitar lib (which is not the default) colours are less satured, maybe less impressive at the first sight, but more realistic.
Generally speaking more realistic then stock cam as well, which is too warm to be realistic.
The things are worst when you move from natural to artificial light, colours are still ok but surfaces tend to be a little too cold

When I compared jr hypercam (against my favs: miniflex, Fu24, DMGC, ultracam) it lost.
But I tried it out of the box: will try again with your XMLs, tks!

A new Fu24 version is out:
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/Gcam_6.1.021_Advanced_V1.6-Fu24_5Lens-02b6.5.apk
I installed it and it's fully working but have not compared with older one to see which one is better.

Finally, another Urnyx is out as well but I cannot try it at the moment:

This is working beautifully.
You are my favorite person of the day.
Thank you!
Compared with miniflex and still loosing with main back cam during the day.
Will post comparison.

But they can go together, so will check this against Fu24, my secondary cam.
Portraits, 2x and NS is what I need from this.

fu24 with all working cams is nice, with better detail in 2x and 3.7x than stock, but general detail is way behind can't get anywhere close, tried increasing sharpening, it always seems like out of focus with no tack-sharp detail
