CONFIRMED TO NOT WORK

Another test for devices FROM 2019 and OLDER (for example Redmi Note 8), that have black viewfinder in every mode even in MIUI, install this apk over the module

Clear Camera cache, open Camera, hold it on black screen for few seconds and go to /data/data/com.android.camera/cache/debug_log/ and send log file from there in comments/chat

(also removed some useless log entries about miui stuff missing on aosp)

Updated repo with Beta 7.5, also added config.xml values documentation to leica-5.0 branch
https://gitlab.com/ItzDFPlayer/vendor_xiaomi_miuicamera/

So I randomly found a code of decompiled com_xiaomi_engine_MiCamAlgoInterfaceJNI (libcamera_algoup_jni.xiaomi.so), here's that good ol' error

open libmialgoengine.so failed!

Sadly it's harder to implement as I feared

for this shit to work I need to save the original codename to the txt file, then re-save it when changing the setting, and then load the new codename from the txt on camera launch

how tf I implement saving string to txt file in smali

Heheheee

You can now spoof your device to any other that camera may support

tbh with this I can actually try to rewrite how device config loading works and make it load external config just like ANX/older MIUI Camera with device_features

basically config will load by default from apk, but it will check if anything replaces parts of the config in the external file, but this would need really big code changes in DataItemFeature

Unfinished Beta 8.0, only device config switch implemented, have fun

still doesn't work for devices with vendor tag issue

Device config will change only after you press Restart camera button in the settings

Please redownload the apk, I maybe fixed the crash on launch issue

Also don't forget to install this apk over the AOSP/MIUI modules

Devices with vendor tag issues please try this (trying to get main rear camera working)

Look into the comments for more newer test apk files

Btw updated camera apk on my repo, accidentally fucked up parallel processing checks once again (enabling normal parallel processing accidentally enabled parallel for all modes including portrait/night), that apk is Beta 7.5hotfix2, soon it will be released on DevUploads

So the idea for the Beta 8.0 release is to make all these options saved and loaded from the config file in sdcard/Download/XiaomiCamera/ as config.txt or XML or JSON, idk yet, for now I need to implement key values being saved/updated with values in config file and parsing the config by key values

Btw, Parallel processing seems to be fixed once again from ROM sources in A14 QPR3, soon Alphadroid update for Mi 9T will be released with it working!
