could you please provide link for the apk and possibly settings if needed? a friend of mine has A1, he will be so glad to have this.
I didn’t save the links actually. Just search it through the xda forum.
LOL…every expert is rating Mi A1’s camera above moto phones and here you bragging how your phone would have done better than A1.
Hi. I can’t seem to find the XDA post anymore but you can try [this](https://xiaomifirmware.com/guides-and-tips/install-google-camera-hdr-xiaomi-mi-a1/) guide.
I’ve heard of some people unlocking the bootloader, activating camera 2api (which allows 3rd party camera apps) then relocking the bootloader and it sticking, and then everything being done thereafter, but probably best looking over on XDA forums for stuff like this tbh
Shouldn’t be a problem, just don’t think google updates would stick, rather not root my Gf’s phone if I can help it.
If you use Auto HDR config as Nexus 6P it works what are you using ? The Pixel settings don’t seem to fix the overexposed areas with Arnova APK
Front cam is not bad.
How did you made it work?
It didn’t wipe data on Redmi devices I unlocked in the past but it did wipe data on my mi note 3.
On my Redmi Note 4 Auto HDR+ doesn’t fix overexposed areas but HDR+ enhanced.
How did you get Auto HDR+ to work ?
Can it work with a meizu m2 note?
You need root access for starters
It works in phones with dual cameras. But it only utilizes the wide angle one. Telephoto lens is ignored.
That’s actually insane
Unlock the bootloader (which I think wipes data unlike on other Xiaomi phones) download Magisk to the Downloads folder on the phone.Flash the Magisk from TWRP then install the Magisk Camera2 enabler module.Then download a Google camera mod APK
It didn’t seem to work for me too.
I have tried to install that on mi6 but none of them is working. It always crash when I try to use it
You won’t be able to update via OTA unless you use Magisk which preserves the original boot.
Redmi devices require you to sign in with your Mi account but the Mi A1 doesn’t so it’s a security risk maybe we should report it to Xiaomi.
Yes
Just followed the guide I saw on xda forum.
I use this: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
You can find the recommended settings somewhere via Google.
What? Even though with GCam the photo looks way better, this is still an atrocious camera. I believe my Moto G3 takes better pictures in day light than the Mi A1 and we’re talking about a 2015 phone.
Then this picture isn’t in favor of A1, maybe the settings on GCam aren’t quite good and need more tweaking.
Man I might buy this phone in some days , currently using redimi note 4 it’s a beast phone as well , how is mi A1 front camera? And I know mia1 is a beast af phone .
how?
How? Just got my gf the same phone. She’d love it.
Hello. You may refer to the comment by /u/otaku_helicopter in this [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/7mlf2z/how_do_i_install_google_camera_on_mi_max_2/?utm_source=reddit-android)
Auto HDR+ is supposed to fix the overexposed areas but it doesn’t seem to work in this port.Does Auto HDR+ work for you ?
I read up a while back on Ryan Geiss’s website on how he wrote the code (or helped). He is a freaking genius, did stuff like milk drop and a lot of other optimization on early graphics cards and then did the kinect for Xbox. He’s now at Google doing stuff on the HDR+ camera software. Incredible how most of this is just software and no better lenses or sensors required.
Just followed a guide on xda forum.
Isn’t your data open to phone theives then since you don’t need to sign in like Mi Unlock
No, it needs a specific DSP used in certain snapdragon CPUs. Your phone has a mediatek CPU.
I know right?
hardware output is still the same, it’s imagine processing that’s being changed here.
Thought someone said it didn’t work with dual camera phones.
Sexy af
You use HDR on Xiaomi Camera app?
Maybe the only way to test or see if it worked for anyone else
Takes around 5-10 seconds if I take a HDR+ photo which locks me out from taking other photos in the process. I’m using the LG V10 which has the 808 and is 32bit.
I am curious about why they decided not to force a wipe, even though basically every other OEM does this. It was convenient for me at the time because I’d already done some setup I didn’t feel like doing again, but still…
Can you please link the XDA post? Thanks in advance.
Yes
I use BGS. 😊
> Unlock the bootloader (which I think wipes data unlike on other Xiaomi phones)
It doesn’t (I did this two days ago).
I didn’t. I also use HDR+ enhanced.
Some people say it doesn’t require the DSP that without the DSP it’s just slower to process
More ram and Ram with android one 😋 . But battery is kinda lower than redimi note 4 🙄😡
