The pictures are made with Mi 6 but you can expect similar results with Mix 2 as the devices share the same Sony sensor.

The only difference is a slightly darker lens on the Mix 2 (f/1.8 on Mi 6 vs f/2.0 on Mix 2).

i ve tried several modded google cam apps, all of these close after start... even if i delete app cache and data

anyone has a link to a working app on your mix 2?

You must enable Camera2Api, there are Magisk modules for this or you can manually add this line to build.prop. Save, reboot, enjoy!

persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1

P.S. You need to have an unlocked bootloader or root.

My Autofocus works with HDR+ on, I got the APK from the mi 6 thread (b-s-g camera).

I can't get the back camera to snap pictures with this version.

Could you post some low light pictures with the xiaomi camera app vs the google app? I am hesitating between the oneplus 5t and the mix 2 only because of the camera.

would this work on latest RR ?

 

[Tyr808]

Wow those samples are amazing. I'm really tempted to do this, but I really don't want to unlock bootloader now that it causes safetynet to fail…

I wonder though, if camera API 2 was added in 5.0, why haven't OEMs enabled it in their roms? I'm guessing since OEMs haven't done it by this point, there's no point holding out hope they'd add it anytime soon

Thanks. Any special instructions on how to install. Or just install apk normally

I have noticed that in normal light conditions the video recording is really dark with 30fps and even darker with 60fps. Pictures work fine, but videos are a mess. Seems like the exposure time doesn't work correctly.

Installed msgisk module and Google cam. It opens but when pressing shutter button nothing happens. No pic is taken. Any ideas? Thanks

I had that issue with an older version of the app. Try version 5.1 or a later version of 4.4.

HI,
I am using GCAM5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.2. (Arnova's latest version) and I can't get auto focus feature... Rom is miui eu weekly latest with magisk. I need to focus within movie mode then swipe to camera mode and take pic, is it still normal?

 

[UltraCLD]

picture shot with google camera still looks awful

i flashed the mokee rom and the gapps packs in sequence into my mix 2.And then i boot my mix 2,open play store and find that i can upgrade my camera to google camera(so i guess the camera packed in the mokee rom or gapps packs is a previous version),and after i upgraded it i find no hdr+ option,and the picture still looks awful.kind of disappointed.

How is the picture quality?I find the picture shot from Google camera look not a bit better than the stock camera on my device.I'm not using miui,I'm using mokee now.

You can’t just use the google cam from the play store. You need the modded one from b-s-g to have hdr+ available. Read the thread for links.

To have last version of differents Mods : https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
This is the link

Don't forget, you must add in your /system/build.prop file. ( and have, without this, the app will crash )

persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1

So you must be ROOT

NB : If you want slow videos (120 fps), you need the Google Camera Patch module with Magisk... ( Maybe, sur, you have another way to activate )

I use :
Arnova's 5.1.018_v1.2...
with settings:
Config camera HDR+ : Pixel 2017 Zsl Hdr+
Model: Nexus 6P
HDR+ parameters : High

For others guys who don't want root phone, you have, also, one excellent app : Open Camera...
I use this app too, because have many options, support HDR, take good pictures ( the photographer also counts ) and it's free

Enjoy, and take good pictures.
