I cannot find a way to enable Camera2 Api in LineageOS 15.1 on Mi4C. This mod is no exception.
Any suggestions?

Tried a bunch of Gcams on my nougat LOS and the best one that works for me is GCAm5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.6.
Some cams don't even start up.
Some start up, but black screen no matter what.
Some partially work, with 3/4 of picture being green, and the 1/4 messed up colors, AND non working portrait mode.

But the GCam5 has working portrait mode (only back, doesn't work on front camera), HDR+ works on Medium and pretty much everything else on it just works.

It just blows stock LOS camera out of the water. I can't understand how stock camera lags SO MUCH when compared to GCam, like, it's not even funny, it's like 2 different chipsets.
HDR+ is the main reason what makes GCam so great, its like magic.

Also, can GCams work without Camera2API ?? Didn't try it myself.

Gcam work with camera2api. Try to enable zram (520-600mb)and choose "high" hdr parameters

How did you make portrait mode work? I'm using the same Gcam version and already enabled portrait, but the photos aren't getting blurry.

Hello,

I am using a Mi4C on MIUI 8.9.13 (the last version ever for this phone).
I have tried :
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/MGC_3.2.045_MiMAX2_2.apk
and
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/MGC_5.1.018_v2e_tolyan009_v1.4.apk

From my tries the app seems to work best with Nexus 5 settings on MiMax version and Nexus 6 on Tolyan. O have not managed to get the apps working by using any other model than Nexus 5/6, which seems a bit strange as the Nexus 5X was very close hardware wise to the Mi4C.
Howver, the resulting images do not seem better than the Stock APP with HDR Auto on. The resulting images, especially in low light are full of noise, grain and with a red tint. Sometimes the photo takes so long to capture that the phone looses the focus.
Also, enabling hdr+ on front camera causes the app to crash.
If anyone has obtained better results, please post the version and configs used.

I am on MIUI 8.9.13 and none of the suggested versions works on my Mi4C 2/16. I am fairly sure it is a RAM-related problem as there are either users who can run the suggested mods and the ones who experience the black screen and/or FC.

2GB does not seem to be sufficient to run the app at all. Out of approx. 40 apks I have tried, the only one that works for me is "GCam5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.7Beta2.apk", but it is buggy as hell and the black screen error occurs whenever there is a RAM overload.

Enhanced HDR+ RAW files look great, though. Too bad it is not fun to take photos like that.

The best bet for anyone loving MIUI is to revert back to Lollipop-based MIUI 7/8 and use FreeDCam instead (for RAWs) and/or modified MIUI Camera with denoise off (for HDR).
