About this module

Xiaomi software restricts many camera capabilities on mid-range devices. This module bypasses these artificial restrictions by directly hooking into the Xiaomi Camera application at runtime.

Enabling the module allows you to cleanly toggle hidden features without modifying your system files. You can turn on each feature from the CameraTools app, and a toast will confirm if the hook was successful when the Camera app opens.

Note

Designed specifically for the Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G (ruby) running Xiaomi HyperOS or MIUI. While some features may work on other MediaTek Dimensity devices, this module targets the MT6877 camera capabilities.
