The MIUI 10 stock video camera app can now be installed on AOSP ROMs running on the Poco F1 to take the best photos possible from the Poco F1 even on customized ROMs. read on to install the MIUI 10 video camera port on Xiaomi Poco F1 running AOSP based ROM.
The Poco F1 from Xiaomi has proven to be the best value for money smartphone taking the crown from OnePlus. With regular MIUI updates, the Poco F1 is now also amongst the few smartphones that can record very slo-mo videos up to 960fps. Although Xiaomi’s implementation is much more software and not as great as the slow motion on the Xperia or Galaxy flagships, we have to remember it’s a phone that costs a third of the price.
MIUI 10 video camera Port
Xiaomi is offering updates pretty regularly, and Poco F1 is a great steal. but the heavily iOS-ized MIUI skin it runs on top of Android is not for everybody. numerous users thus, choose to install an AOSP based customized ROM which offers a much more stock Android-like look and feel. one of the main reasons that would stop such users from going the customized ROM route though was the lack of a good video camera app. The built-in stock Android video camera is nothing much more than garbage. Google video camera for the Poco F1 only works on MIUI 10. Therefore, if you were to install a customized ROM on the Poco F1, you’d be left with a mediocre video camera app that takes mediocre photos.
Having seen the capabilities of the Poco F1 video camera though, it would be hard to work out for the mediocre image quality. thanks to XDA Member AEonAX though, now you don’t have to. The dev has managed to port the MIUI 10 video camera app. It works with any AOSP based customized ROM for the Poco F1. The port can be installed rather easily as a Magisk module. and that implies you’ll need to root the customized ROM you’re using. This may cause problems with apps like Google Pay.

Features and bugs
The port is currently in beta so there are plenty of problems, however, they can be overlooked. first of all, here are the features that do work partially or fully.
960fps Works
Photo Works
Square Works
Panorama Works
Manual mode Works
Portrait Mode
As for the bugs, the 12-fps video recording doesn’t work while the 240fps video recording does, but it plays at 240fps as well. If you do need slow-motion you’ll have to play the video at a slower speed by a capable media player such as VLC or Mx Player. night mode and AI mode may or may not work, the results have been pretty inconsistent among users. Moreover, 960fps slo-mo video recording only works in landscape if you rotate the device to the best in purchase to get to landscape mode. With even more development and much more updates, you can expect numerous of these bugs to be fixed if not all.
