I have sony xa ultra and I want to try Google camera. I downloaded many versions some of them were installed but then many were crashing upon opening and the versions that worked were lacking the HDR+ feature..
Any one can help
Thanks
Camera2 API doesn't work on XA Ultra. No HDR+, no RAW support. Even trying to enable RAW support from MTK Engineer Mode fails.

I'm very much interested in the camera capabilities (esp. manual video controls) of Android phones. Thinking about getting the Xperia X as an additional phone . Can anyone with a Sony Xperia X tell me what Camera2 API support level the X has? ('Legacy', 'Limited', 'Full' or 'Level 3') There are two free apps on the PlayStore which you can use to test: "Camera2 probe" and "Camera2 Probe" (sorry can't link as I'm a newbie here).
Thanks in advance
According to the app, the Xperia X (F5121) has Full support level, although no RAW capture, though

That's great thanks! Raw is less important to me, I'm more interested in manual exposure capabilities.
Hi I was wondering about why here isnt a fully functional port of Google Camera with HDR+ for non-google devices ?
If I read correctly, its SW thing, so it can be ported, but cant find anything.
Anyway after some research i think it can be possible. Its all about "hack" camera apk to think its running in Nexus 6P (or any other HDR+ compatible device), and file (for Google Camera 4.3) that control it is in
"\smali\com\google\android\apps\camera\util\ApiHelper.smali"
Can some developer look at it ?
I am using AOSP 8.0.0_r34 on my device and I'm trying to find a working Google Pixel Camera port with the HDR+ feature. I tried installing many APKs that I found online, but they either won't install or will install, and when I open them, I will only see a black screen with the shutter button and camera switch button.
Has anyone successfully installed one of the latest versions of the Google camera on their device? How do I do it? Are there no working Google camera ports that are compatible with the AOSP ROM? Is there hope?
Newest Camera from Google is 64bit only so it will not work on our phone because it's 32bit. There are no 32bit ports at the moment at I don't expect to be any, sadly.
HDR+ is a feature of the SoC unfortunately, not just software.
I've tried several Google camera builds but most of them crash while processing photos. So I'd like to know that which Google camera build with portrait mode and hdr+ works the best without crashing?

Me too. I'm searching for a working Google Camera port from 2 months. I have had installed Pixel Experience custom rom as soon as I bought my phone and then I tried A LOT of Google Camera ports: BSG, Arnova, UriKill, cstark, Skulshady, Toylan, scrubber and so on... They always have FC (more or less), some of them doen't even start, or have bad quality photos, or too pink... or too FCs.
Then I changed to Lineage OS 15.1... same story: tried the most GCam ports... same results!
Today I reverted back to stock (MIUI 9.5)... installed Arnova's v7beta9... and till now I haven't had FCs!! And with stock camera I can record slow motion videos (this is not possible with gcam port)!!
But I really don't like MIUI. Even with Magisk's Pixel module.
I have been using this GCam ver. 4.4.012.156195200.build.41155109 for many months now on stock MIUI rooted with Magisk. After each OTA update I just reflash the magisk image and change the build.prop for enabling Camera 2 API, and I get it working again. The slo-mo is buggy which I found fixed using the "Google Camera Patch" in magisk repo.
Here's the link for the apk I use: drive . google . com/file/d/1iXAkhIAq4kpGsn7u_eGBMeURknJR64p6/view?usp=sharing
You can also find the apk on Android FileHost.
P.S. I can't confirm it working with any custom rom. I am on MIUI 9.2.2.0 now and it works flawlessly (HDR of stock camera doesn't work with Cam 2 API enabled)
And XDA didn't let me share the link directly
It's a very old version, not supporting "Portrait Mode", is'nt it?
It does
HDR+ : Rear
Potrait mode (Lens Blur): Both rear and front
And I should add that the HDR+ works really well... seriously!
Can you send a screenshot / link of the exact Magisk module you're talking about?
If you're talking to me, I mean the "Pixel 2 Experience" module (v. 4.4)
The module's name is "Google Camera Patch" created by "simonsmh"
Hi;
I have Meizu MX4 Pro, Android 5.1..1; Flyme 6.2.0.0G.
Main camera is Sony 20.7 MP. There are some conflicting articles about the Android version, which should support RAW photography, and at the other side, lack of RAW photography support from Meizu side.
The must for the RAW photography on android is the OS version 5.0 Lollipop and camera2 API. It seems that Lollipop is not the same, standardized for all phones, some have camera2 API, some not.
Have to ask if anybody had use RAW photography with this phone / camera - is it possible to upgrade the system to get the feature working?
Thank you.
