latest Arnovas and BSGs have that option -> https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
I installed both ! Arnovas version show black screen in viewfinder and not taking photo but portrait,blurred and video works. BSGs version i think HDR+ not working and video has weird aspect ratio.
Only this version works (MGC_5.3.015_4) but no blurred background mode

so for mi mix 2 you suggest BSGs versions, a not Arnovas?
I tried both versions and none of them gives me less compressed results than original Miui10 Camera App. BUT, lowlight HDR+Enhanced is unbelivable.


Wow, the pics look reall great! Could you tell me which version of Gcam you are using and what settings you used to get these amazing pictures ? Thanks in advance.

I think those were mage with BSG, but I'm getting same results with Arnovas... be sure to use HDR+Enhanced

Dear all!
Let me thank you all for your efforts.
I am looking for a stable app to try on my MI MIX 2 in order to boost camera properties.
Can you pls be kind enough to highlight an app to download.
I am talking about an app, since i am not able to deal with the root.
Thanks in advance for your kind comments and support

For me everything works. Slowmotions etc. but the video quality is really bad. It is way to dark, even at 30 FPS. The video recording on the Mi5 for example was really good and the Mi5 had a much worse chip. Anyone know a version where video recording looks good?

Yes. 5.0.25 is working flawlessly

5.0.35 instead is not working and shooting only in B&W with rear and completely black from front one
I'm still waiting to receive the device. Since it works fine for you, would you say that GCam really improve the quality of Mix2 camera? Or the pics aren't that great anyways?
I have a OnePlus 5, and GCam make miracles in low light situations, but I don't know what to expect on the mix2

Well, I came from Honor8 which (with LG G4) was able to take very beautiful photo (see attachment 1 and 2)

Mix2 isn't so good, but with GCam it become acceptable in low light (attachment 3 and 4)
Definitely stock cam is unusableIMG_20170822_220311-01.jpegIMG_20170512_080355_1-01.jpegIMG_20180623_215845-01.jpegIMG_20180622_192311.jpeg

Currently running the latest BSG (5.3) version and is working great on Lineage OS. However there seems to be a AF debug message overlapping the viewfinder. Is there anyway to turn that off?

Sorry... Can you post me a link of this version for my Mi Mix 2 with Miui 10? I have tried more apk, but always black screen...
