How did you made it work?
Can you please link the XDA post? Thanks in advance.
Maybe the only way to test or see if it worked for anyone else
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.
Just followed a guide on xda forum.
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 .
Thought someone said it didn’t work with dual camera phones.
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.
More ram and Ram with android one 😋 . But battery is kinda lower than redimi note 4 🙄😡
Yes
You need root access for starters
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 ?
Some people say it doesn’t require the DSP that without the DSP it’s just slower to process
hardware output is still the same, it’s imagine processing that’s being changed here.
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 didn’t. I also use HDR+ enhanced.
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.
I have tried to install that on mi6 but none of them is working. It always crash when I try to use it
I didn’t save the links actually. Just search it through the xda forum.
Just followed the guide I saw on xda forum.
how?
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.
No, it needs a specific DSP used in certain snapdragon CPUs. Your phone has a mediatek CPU.
I know right?
Sexy af
On my Redmi Note 4 Auto HDR+ doesn’t fix overexposed areas but HDR+ enhanced.
How did you get Auto HDR+ to work ?
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.
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.
You use HDR on Xiaomi Camera app?
You won’t be able to update via OTA unless you use Magisk which preserves the original boot.
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
It didn’t seem to work for me too.
> Unlock the bootloader (which I think wipes data unlike on other Xiaomi phones)
It doesn’t (I did this two days ago).
Then this picture isn’t in favor of A1, maybe the settings on GCam aren’t quite good and need more tweaking.
I use BGS. 😊
It works in phones with dual cameras. But it only utilizes the wide angle one. Telephoto lens is ignored.
I use this: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
You can find the recommended settings somewhere via Google.
Yes
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
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…
How? Just got my gf the same phone. She’d love it.
Can it work with a meizu m2 note?
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
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)
It didn’t wipe data on Redmi devices I unlocked in the past but it did wipe data on my mi note 3.
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.
That’s actually insane
Front cam is not bad.
Isn’t your data open to phone theives then since you don’t need to sign in like Mi Unlock
