[problem] Stock camera HDR mode broken

Dear fellas,

So I was trying to download the Google camera app port from here:
https://www.xda-developers.com/google-camera-hdr-customization-raw-support/

And after downloading it, I had no luck in launching the app, not even after trying to:
- Clear cache and data for both the stock camera app and the Google one.
- Enabling Camera2 API, by adding this string to build.prop: 'persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1'
- Rebooting the device multiple times.

So now, after I gave up on getting it working, I uninstalled the Google camera app, and removed the added string to build.prop, and cleared the cache and data for the stock camera app. Then rebooted the device.

Now when I try to shoot using the HDR mode on my stock camera, the app freezes and it crashes. And it won't open up again until I reboot the device. I can't manage to get it to shoot in HDR, but other modes are running fine.

Does anyone know what to do to solve this? Or even if it was possible to run the Google camera app?

I am running a rooted Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus, 128 GB
Running on: MIUI Global 8.5 | Stable
8.5.2.0 (MBGMIED)

Will copying the original build.prop for my device solve this? I don't have the original one though. So any thoughts would be much appreciated!
