Google Camera Mod - Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Themes, Apps, and Mods

I am using this version of the mod with good results.

A quick and dirty comparison with my Pixel 2 XL.

Hi. Does this need root? It only opens and closes on my Mi Max 3.
Cheers

here it works with Magisk "Camera2api" enabled

Yes, root is required. Root using Magisk and then install the Camera2API Magisk module. You should be able to use Google Camera after that

The photos you've taken look great. Hard to believe they were taken with a budget device like the Max 3. Even more excited to get my hands on it now.

Looks great. Any crashes at all to report?

Yes, sometimes it crashes but not that often.
Regarding, photo quality. Yes, it looks great, especially in low light. I have used the gcam mod on many devices and it always delivers great stills. Even older and cheaper phones like Redmi 5 Plus and Mi 5s Plus with worse camera hardware takes great low light photos when using gcam and hdr+.
On smartphones, I believe photo quality is like 90% good software optimization and 10% good hardware.

Sounds like a good start. Perhaps try saneklic's APKs? They're optimised for the Redmi 5 Plus, which has a similar sensor and framework to the Mi Max 3. I found them to be very stable on my Redmi Note 4.

Yes but Max 3 is even more similar to Redmi Note 5 AI (same sensor and SOC) and the apk above is that works best on Note 5 according to users on the Note 5 forum I think.

Fair point. Crashes are pretty annoying though.

Oh man I can't wait till mine arrives, sucks that I need to wait 360 hours before I can flash anything and try this camera. GCAm is always so darn good.

Yes, but sooner or later some dev. will probably work on a port optimized for Max 3. I think Max 3 will be a very popular device.

I found a better version of GCAM:
MGC_5.3.015_B-S-G-based_v.1.0.7_TlnNeun.apk
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/MGC_5.3.015_B-S-G-based_v.1.0.7_TlnNeun.apk
Magisk Camera2API should be installed.
it makes very good photos in the dark.
My settings:
Correction of auto-exposure = 1/2 sec.
Reduce noise reduction = on
Auto correction HDR+ = High Quality
Advanced --> Fix Black Level = On & Maximum ISO in the dark = on
Pictures taken in the dark with HDR+ enhanced are very good - I'm impressed.
Check yourself: stock cam vs. GCAM

Why root is needed? On other phone it works without root.

You need root in order to activate camera 2 api. On some other phones, this is already activated by default.

Can I just install Magisk to activate Camera2api then later uninstall Magisk? Camera2api is still available after the uninstallation, isn't it? I don't need root and I'm also afraid some of my bank apps wouldn't run with the rooted phones.

Yup

Do could anyone write some tutorial how to install gcam without root?

Marshmallow update...Xiaomi is playing with us!

I bought a Mi4c a few months ago convinced it was a great phone that could replace my Nexus 5 and yes it is a good phone with good specs but I bought it also when Xiaomi announced it would update to Marshmallow. My Nexus 5 was already running under MM so, I thought it would be a matter of a couple of weeks (Xiaomi announced update in Decembre) Today months have passed, many manufacturers like Motorola, Sony and even Samsung have updated some of their models even Moto E...but still nothing for Mi4c. Xiaomi makes good phones and I thought it was better than others cheap Chineses makers. It wants to be compared to Apple but it lacks support and compromise to existing customers. I probably had placed my expectations too high. Am I the only one? Next time I will buy a Nexus again.
Xiaomi uses Miui rom. There is no mutch different between MM based miui and Lollipop based miui.
Miui have most features of MM has already.

thats right! because of that i have no stress to get MM.
sMIUI runs great for me and have many many features!
IMO, they have too many devices to support. Just look at this table:

Many vendors only support their devices for 1 year, some 2, but here you can see Mi2S which is almost 3 years old and is still a supported device. I don't think Xiaomi has big enough development team to maintain all of those devices to match current base Android version. Moreover, they're advertising MIUI, which should have the similar experience between supported devices regardless the base Android version. 3 devices are already out with MM (still beta?), just wait for Mi4c turn. What features do you need from MM anyway?
"What features do you need from MM anyway?" My thoughts exactly.
Looking at the new features of MM, the ones that are interesting are the memory manager, per-app permissions and battery management. These are all things MIUI has built in already. Which probably also makes it that much harder to integrate into a new MIUI version.
Most of the other changes are cosmetic and most likely would not be reflected in MIUI anyway, when the MM update does come out.
or you can install TS CM13 - built by TS team or TS broken OS. They are 6.0 MM and pretty stable now. Great team with great supports and speed.
Sent from my Mi-4c using Tapatalk
The only real feature M offers over L is SD card as internal storage. Since Mi4c has no external storage you aren't missing anything. MIUI already does a Doze feature killing everything in the background.
Doze, per app permission and memory management are thé most wanted feature un MM.
MIUI is good and I don't criticize his developping team very active. I am only mad at Xiaomi marketing team making announcements and not complying.

Like a few of us mentioned so far, those features have been built into MIUI for a long time already. So rejoice, you have your most wanted features
On a serious note, it's probably reasonable to assume the MM rollout will follow the release of the new flagship, the Mi 5. Which I think is like a day or two away. You can bet that'll be released with the latest MIUI iteration of android.

Please provide at least 1 quote from Xiaomi officials that said Mi4c will get MM soon.
And no.. gizchina "xiaomi mm devices updates schedule" is not official.
i use Broken that is 6.0 and it works perfectly...
if u want 6.0 that bad get it...
Smartlock is there but it is not working at all... That would be nice to have it, dont know if under Android 6 or 7, or actual 5.1...
Enviado desde mi iPad utilizando Tapatalk
i believe it's a matter of time before the mi4c reveives marshmallow... but judging from xiaomi history mm won't come anytime soon... i'd estimate (personally) early autumn the soonest......
Am I the only one that think Xiaomi won't update Mi4c to MM?

I guess so. Since Mi 3/4/5/Note get it, there's no reason to skip Mi 4C/4S/Note Pro/any other still supported devices. However, they seem to be in a discussion now, for supporting newer Android base with locked bootloader or stay with older one with unlocked bootloader.
Why shouldn't it get MM? The Mi4S just got released and should therefore get it, which is very similar to the Mi4C.
Maybe they will update Mi4c straight forward to "N" just like Mi4 which jumped lollipop to MM.

4K 60FPS?

The Snapdragon 845 supports 4K 60FPS but all the reviews and specification sheets claim the device can only do 30FPS, is there a modification that can enable this?
Anyone have a potential solution or input on this?
There's a video from a guy who claims he recorded with 60fps and 4k with open camera... However I only got 30fps with it. https://youtu.be/VQ2a01Bd00Q

I just watched the video, someone's requested in the comments he shares the exact app but they've yet to get a reply, since Snapdragon 845 can do it I assume there must be some modification with root or a specific app that can do it
I would assume open camera supports this, i have this app on my Nokia 8 and can adjust a lot off thing resolution up to 4k/60 fps which is not in possible in the stock cam app only 4k/30. Also bitrate is adjustable for vid and audio. Please try and let us know.

Camera2 api is fully activated on mix 2s. I set 60fps on open camera, then it limits the resolution down to 1080p FHD. If I set 30fps it allows you to record 4K UHD

Miui's official Global rom. Not xiaomi.eu
There should definitely be a way to enable this with root the Snapdragon 845 is capable so it must be a software side thing, hopefully someone finds a way soon

I think it is blocked in the cam driver or in rom. My Nokia 8 is S835 with no stock 4k60, with open cam it is easily done 4k @60fps with bitrate of 50mbps without any hiccups. I would like to know if anyone tried open cam on Android P... I have to wait until monday for my MM2s was out of stock.

Really hope it's a ROM issue and not a driver issue because if it is then we can save goodbye to 40k60fps even on custom ROMs (I think), my 2s unfortunately doesn't ship till July so I can't do any testing etc.
Anyone tried 4K 60FPS on Android P Dev preview?
The mi 8 seems to have the same camera hardware and gsmarena says it does 2160p 60fps so hopefully its easily doable on the mix 2s.

Oneplus 6 vs Xiaomi Mi Mix 2s vs Xiaomi Mi 8

Hi, I need an help to choose my next phone.
My current phone is a xiaomi mi5s, very good phone but the software is a little buggy, with the new miui often only one of the 2 big cores are working and the phone lags.
The oneplus have good reputation for the software but I never tried one.
Here in uk at the moment the oneplus is the most expensive of the three:
Oneplus 6 469£
Mi mix 2s 387£
Mi 8 422£
All of them are 6bg ram and 64 rom.
Both the xiaomi are cheaper but oneplus maybe has better software.
I think the mi8 has better hardware but I don't like the big notch that hide the notifications, the mi mix 2s is the cheaper but i don't like the front camera quality and the oneplus is a little too expensive on the official website

I chose Oneplus 6 because of English/Western OS support. I tried to get Mix 2S for the longest time, but people who actually got it complained about numerous bugs and incompatibilities with Google. I don't know anything about Mi 8.
Tell me where do you find the mi 8 for that price? The oneplus is cheaper than the xiaomi mi 8, despite the launch price. But what if they are not selling at the launch price...
sorry for my English
Why not Vivo Nex ??

Yes that's what I was thinking, the miui is a good rom but some models doesn't receive the support that they deserve, my mi5s is left with a bugged rom and they release updates for the older model mi5.

I was considering getting xiaomi as well, but I decided to get one plus in the end as it has much better software development and OOS is a lot better than MiUI in my opinion.

oneplus6 is already expensive AF, it is almost $1000 Canadian pesos. Vivo nex shouldnot much more expensive, but still all of this phone ugly and do not have maximum performance as they should. At least the top model should have maximum available for manufactures.

Yes but they ship from China so you need to pay import duty and vat, I'm looking on something that ships from Europe.
I never bought from grossoshop, I discovered this Web site from some phone reviews on youtube and is it says that there are no import duty to pay so I suppose they ship from Europe.

Actually they are very close, on the selfie camera oneplus has eis stabilization but on mi 8 there is less noise at low light.
Rear camera picture same quality, video 4k 60fps oneplus is good, 30 fps is rubbish (no details), 30fps on mi 8 is good but no support for 60fps, I like the wider field of view in the videos on mi8. Audio OK on oneplus, rubbish on mi8.

Funtouch 9 apparently comes with 72 new features, 55 optimizations of different details, 263 UI improvements, as well as a simpler and more beautiful interface, and a smarter and friendlier user experience - at least according to vivo.

Well this is something Vivo has to answer.
They need desperately bring new re design UI to Nex S as was their No 1 flagship that sold not only in mainland China but internationaly.
Only then will gain respect from user base aspect by strongly support their previous flagship on software matter.
Or else Vivo will loose many current and future customers and will not buy future smartphone by them.
Personal talking no matter what Vivo do I'm going to purchase OP7 day one if all the rumors come true(4000 battery,pup up camera and no redicules notch or holls)
I prefer Oxygen no matter how Fantouch will evolve.
I'm user who like a lot of customization and oneplus will deliver without any compromises.

Do I see the dark mode and AOD notifications from external applications? This is what I expect!

Some of the changes Fantouch 9 bring is the center position of the clock at home screen as well drastic redesign of control center.

That's the answer to your question guys. And I am delighted since the time we wait well deserved I think (translate google)
Well apperantly Nex S owner got the device with Fantouch 4 while being young and until getting Fantouch 9 they'll be much much older [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Unfortunately as I can see this details review the native dark mode with Fantouch 9 it's useless as its light gray so no any impact to battery life and looks horrible.
Vivo should had add very dark gray or total black option even better.

I've got the feeling first Vivo introduced successor of Nex S and then will bring it to last year flagship
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Vivo is launching its new Origin OS on November 18 in China. The new Android skin is said to replace Vivo's current Funtouch OS. ... The Chinese smartphone manufacturer will select a limited number of users who will get to try the latest Vivo Android custom skin on the scheduled date.

Smaller display, slower cpu, less/same ram, smaller battery, slower gpu... Do you even have eyes, what f****** successor?
Costs 400€, maybe even that is too much..

What are you talking about??
I'm clearly mention about the 10X Zoom Edition high end version NOT the midrange proposal with the Qualcomm 710.

I'll probably go from Nex S Global version to 1+ 7 Pro too. The nex S is a great phone, but I find it very disappointing that the Global Version is still on 8.1, I'm worried how this phone will receive future updates and this is not a problem on OnePlus's side, their developers are a lot closer to the community than Vivo's.

The Oneplus 7 sounds great but the lack of a headphone jack is a let down. Someone on another thread says he's downloading Pie to his Nex right now. If true I'm good with this phone for another year.

Yes oneplus 7 pro seems to be solid upgrade to Nex S.
But again will be missing 3.5 audio jack.
But the main differences is in software between Vivo and Oneplus.
Majority of western world users will prefer Oxygen than Fantouch that's the advantages for oneplus device.

Yes I saw that earlier. Thanks.
I've heard rumours that ColorOS 6 doesn't allow you to install custom Launchers, could some confirm or drop me an interesting link about what's so wrong with ColorOS before purchasing one?
Also, as I never had Oppo before, should rooting and removing Chinese market apps be easy?
Thanks!

If it's like the Chinese Funtouch version then probably not but there are workarounds for launchers I understand. Don't know about rooting and removing Chinese bloat.
First suggestion would be to wait for the Global model and second is to check the Oppo forums on here and elsewhere.
So... is this video up-to-date then?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQFe0R1YirE
I'm asking this because I don't have too much that I ask from Android at all - Nova Launcher + quick-shortcut to turn on LED lamp (e.g. long press on some button) and honestly I would be happy enough

The video looks old because the phone is definitely an old model. What do they say on the Oppo forums.
I long press the volume down button on my Nex. Probably the same for the Oppo. Again, you're asking in the wrong forum.
I like the oppe reno 10x much more than the Oneplus 7. But if there is no development possible on the reno it's worthless

There is an Android Q preview already for the Oppo Reno and soon Oppo Reno 10x Zoom.

But the main question is why would i upgrade my phone within just 9 months?
