MIUI / ANX Camera

Magisk KSU APatch

Xiaomi's MIUI Camera is widely regarded as one of the most feature-rich stock camera applications on Android — packing AI scene detection, a full Pro manual mode, Super Night Mode, beauty algorithms, and cinematography-grade video stabilization. ANXCameraT by h1toru brings every one of those features to your AOSP-based custom ROM on Android 12+, installed as a clean, reversible Magisk module — no permanent system modification, no APK sideloading tricks.

MIUI Camera Feature Highlights

The complete MIUI Camera experience — all features preserved exactly as Xiaomi ships it, running systemlessly on your AOSP ROM.

AI Scene Detection

MIUI Camera's on-device AI engine automatically identifies the scene — food, landscape, portrait, pet, night, text — and applies optimized processing parameters for each category in real time, delivering better color science and detail preservation without manual tuning.

Night Mode & Super Night

Dedicated Night Mode and Super Night Mode leverage multi-frame stacking and motion compensation to produce dramatically brighter, cleaner low-light photos with far less noise than AOSP camera apps — without requiring a tripod.

Pro / Manual Mode

Full manual controls including ISO (50–3200), shutter speed (1/4000s–30s), white balance (2000K–8000K), focus, and exposure compensation. RAW (DNG) capture support for post-processing in Lightroom or similar tools.

Portrait & Beauty Mode

Computational bokeh with edge-aware subject segmentation for Portrait Mode. Beauty Mode offers skin tone enhancement, face slimming, eye enlargement, and smoothing controls — all processed on-device without requiring a cloud connection.

EIS Video Stabilization

Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) is activated for video recording — smoothing out hand tremors and walking motion. MIUI's EIS implementation uses gyroscope data combined with frame warping for noticeably more stable footage than stock AOSP stabilization.

Slow Motion & Video Modes

Slow motion (120fps/240fps depending on hardware), panorama, time-lapse, clone (multi-exposure), dual video, and MIUI watermark stamping. Video modes previously locked behind MIUI are fully accessible through the module's stock MIUI Camera app.

How ANXCameraT Works on Non-MIUI Devices

MIUI Camera is built tightly against Xiaomi's proprietary system libraries — MiuiLibs, MIUI framework extensions, and hardware abstraction layer (HAL) shims specific to MIUI ROM environments. On a stock AOSP custom ROM, these libraries do not exist, causing MIUI Camera to crash on launch if sideloaded as a plain APK.

ANXCameraT solves this by bundling the necessary MiuiLibs and compatibility shims directly into the Magisk module ZIP. When flashed, the module's overlay injects these libraries into the system framework path — making them available to MIUI Camera as if it were running on a real MIUI device. The module also includes patches to stub out MIUI-specific IPC calls that would otherwise fail on AOSP and cause feature crashes.

The T variant by h1toru specifically targets Android 12+ by updating the library compatibility layer to handle the stricter SELinux policies, changed vendor HAL interfaces, and new permission model introduced in Android 12. Because everything is installed via Magisk's systemless overlay, the stock camera app remains intact on your device's actual system partition and is fully restored the moment the module is removed.

Frequently Asked Questions

ANXCameraT is a Magisk module by h1toru that ports Xiaomi's MIUI Camera app to AOSP-based custom ROMs on Android 12 and above. It is a modified version of the original ANXCamera by AEonAX, specifically updated to work on Android 12–14 since the original project no longer receives official updates for newer Android versions.

ANXCameraT is designed for devices running AOSP-based custom ROMs (LineageOS, PixelOS, Evolution X, crDroid, etc.) on Android 12 or higher. It does not target stock MIUI devices — MIUI Camera is already built-in for those. Compatibility may vary by device hardware, especially for cameras that require device-specific HAL support.

The large size reflects that ANXCameraT bundles the full MIUI Camera APK along with all required MIUI system libraries (MiuiLibs), camera HAL shims, and supporting framework patches needed to run a MIUI-native app on a non-MIUI Android environment. These libraries cannot be dynamically downloaded post-install as they are version-locked to the bundled camera APK.

The original ANXCamera by AEonAX only officially supports Android 11 and below, and the project has been inactive since approximately 2021. ANXCameraT by h1toru is a community fork that adapts the module to run on Android 12–14 by patching compatibility layers, updating the MiuiLibs stack, and adding support for Magisk, KernelSU, APatch, and KSUNext.

Yes. The module installs MIUI Camera systemlessly via Magisk's overlay system, replacing your current default camera app. Your original camera app is preserved untouched in the system partition and will be restored automatically if the module is disabled or removed from Magisk Manager — no data loss, no reflashing required.
