I don't know what ROM you are using. If you are using Lineage OS or its descendants, you could look at https://gitlab.com/LineageOS/issues/android/-/issues/3848, and the same setting works for MIUI if you have rooted. Roughly speaking it is the ROM that forbids the access of Open Camera to aux cameras.
For the second, look at my previous ticket https://sourceforge.net/p/opencamera/tickets/873/

[Anonymous]

Thanks. Patched APK is no more available for download so I cannot try, but it seems it can be done.

I run Xiamo Redmi Note 10 Pro all official. I do not play with custom ROMs.

I hope some time soon, OpenCamera will have this sorted out. I used it on all my previous phones. Now I got this one and met this issue.

[EiQuo7ji]

It is impossible to fix if you don't have root. Essentially, there is a whitelist of camera apps to access the aux camera and Open Camera is not in that list. Some phones don't have this list and therefore the aux camera is accessible for all camera apps, therefore it varies from phones to phones. That patch would work only when the Open Camera is whitelisted.

By the way, it's recommended to avoid downloading random unauthorized patches. If possible, apply the patch to the source code then compile it instead.

The 108 Mp is purely a marketing scam. It has 12 MP output (108/9). The "AI mode" is part of the scam.

[Predrag Supurovic]

What was the point of your comment? Trolling?

You are wrong. It does have 108 MP camera and it produces 108 MP images.

Thing is official camera application is not that good. OpenCamera produces significantly better photographs, but it can access main camera only, not 180 MP one.

[EiQuo7ji]

If I understand correctly, the main camera is 180MP. It is just that the standard code could not recognize that it is, and thus produces suboptimal photos.

One of the most important deficit of the stock Camera app is that it is proprietary and closed source. I would not trust such for camera apps.

The patch is already there. I hope that the developer of Open Camera could find time to study that patch and integrate it into the master branch.

For multi-camera functionality, you can see if my patched version of open camera work (https://github.com/Adriankhl/opencameraR)

[Predrag Supurovic]

It seems not to recognize multiple cameras.

It is correct that it detects only two cameras, since google advice (or enforce) phone manufacturer to expose logical camera then physical camera (https://developer.android.com/training/camera2/multi-camera#logical).

Can you zoom out to get the view that you weren't able to do so before? Or can you zoom in without losing resolution?

[EiQuo7ji]

In this fork version, as in the original version, Zooming in will lead to loss of resolution. Neither is wide lens camera "automatically" accessible.

[Predrag Supurovic]

I see no difference in resolution regarding setting zoom. It is always 3000x4000 pixels.

any advancement?
i want to use Open Camera to do focus bracketing with the macro camera note 10 pro :(
