What about Camera2 API? Does it enabled by default? Or do you need to root and enable it later by editing the build.prop?
Can you post some screenshots from this app? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.weis.camera2probe

I wish this phone had ARCore support; it even has a dedicated depth-sensor :|

Pls enble camera2api in the pie update... Pls pls pls pls...

(Guide) Record better videos with Lenovo A6000 plus!

Don't ignore this post!! Try it! It works wonders!
Hi guys, I am certain everyone is unhappy with the camera quality of Lenovo A6000 plus, otherwise a great phone. Having used LUMIA 920 for 2 years and LUMIA 520 for 6 months, I was very much disappointed with the camera quality of this phone. I was expecting it to be at least on par with the 'just 5MP' camera of 520 but was proven horribly wrong. The case worsens even more if you are running a custom ROM. So loads of searching and trying all available camera apps on the play store I finally got a solution. I want to share it.
First you will have to download this app 'Cinema FV-5'.
The link - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flavionet.android.cinema.lite&hl=de
This is the lite version. Try it, if you like buy it! (This is not my app by the way, just sharing).
1. Open the app, go to settings. In 'General camcorder settings', uncheck 'focus before capturing', and check 'allow capturing videos without focus', this is necessary for continuous focus during recording.
2. In 'Video' tab, check custom video settings, change the video resolution to 1280x720 16:9, change the FPS to 24 and leave everything else as it is, don't change.
3. On the same page 'Video', touch 'set image parameters', you will now be on viewfinder screen. There decrease sharpness to 0 and hit done.
4. Touch the [AF] icon and change the focus mode to continuous like in the image. And you are done!
You won't believe how much difference it makes even compared to stock Lenovo camera. While the stock Lenovo camera makes jarring and VGA quality videos, this app with these of my settings records much much better videos!
For photos -
For photos, you can use the sibling app 'Camera FV-5', go to settings > photo encoding settings > set image parameters and decrease sharpness to 0.

updated OP. Thanks you liked the trick! Sad that many people only view this thread. I hope they try it. I really want to take out the only shortcoming this phone has!!
I test today this program. The colors are more quality but I did not like focus. Some inscriptions I can't read with this program ,but when I use original is more better.

Did you follow every step mentioned by me? It should give you better results than stock camera any day!! At least on a custom ROM! But I believe it will work just as good on stock rom too cause the video recording in stock rom with stock Camera app pretty much sucks!! By no means it looks 720p 'HD', it feels like VGA at 15fps recording. For better focus you need to pay attention to the first and last instruction in the OP. Have a good luck!

Make constant frame rate un low light conditions

Hi people
I love my R3P except for its video recording capabilities
When we want to record something in low light conditions, the phone tries to get as much light as possible, by lowering the frame rate
I tried to change settings in media_profiles.xml, put the minimum frame rate to 30fps but with no success
So I guess that it has to be tweaked in lib files, just like people did for the OnePlus X : http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...-custom-camera-hal-4k-uhd-dci-30-fps-t3315382
Maybe some of you can let me know what files are related to camera properties, or even help me ? (Who knows?)
I made a big discovery: on AICP CM13 ROM, vidéo recording is smooth
Please I need you to know what file I need to replace to get this result
C'mon guys I know that you know please it's something really important I'm pretty sure that it matters for you too

Software (ease of use, features, etc)

When you hand your phone to granny to take a photo of you, can she get the job done? Rate this thread to express how you deem the Xiaomi Mi A2's camera software. A higher rating indicates that the software is easy to use, fast, uncluttered, and inclusive of advanced features for when you need them.

Love the software. It's very well optimized on this phone, running Android One 8.1 out of the box. It's promised to receive Android Pie soon. My only complaint is that you can't move the Google search bar (at least I haven't figured it out yet).

I have the Mi A1 and removed the Google search bar with Microsoft launcher.
There are photo, video, portrait mode, panorama and also manual.
Manual have the options for you to change white balance, aperture, shutter speed, ISO and also two of the lenses (regular and low light).
Interestingly, in aperture mode there is a "PEAK" options which show you the peak point in picture. (I don't know how to explain it but try it for yourself!)
There are timer (3s and 5s only), tilt-shift (circle and parallel), straighten (which help straighten the image), group selfie (take multiple photos and create a shoot where everyone looks best, it claims), HHT and beautify (which have 1-5 and advanced options that can make you slender, have big eyes, tone and smooth your skin).
In settings, you can save your location, enable pocket mode, adjust anti banding, auto exposure, contrast, saturation and sharpness.
So it's quite cool in all.
Since i have installed the September update i have got a Software Bug. Everytime I am using by default the HDR mode of the stock camera, my foto is just a green square! But onyl in dark conditions - maybe the app wants since the september update to change the camera lense... and it does not work probably.
does anybody else has the same problem?

yup! i experienced this twice in a row when i was taking a picture. not sure what the issue is.
I have found the software to be very smooth and fluid; the September update on a fresh reset seemed to have also removed some of the bundled MI apps but then actually allows you to pick and choose which ones to install (such as the MI remote for IR blasting). An awesome feature to have this come from xiaomi instead of the xda community via rooting and other uninstallers etc. Camera and google maps also load very fast, which helps a lot.

Google Camera [How can I code and Implement a New AI Algorithm]?

Hi so recently I have been getting into the google camera development, I wish to learn how can I develop my own custom GCam MOD? And in addition is it based of a Google Camera model. Finally I want to learn how I can use previous dev's work like @cstark27 and modify it to make it more modern, add a UI change or new AI algorithms. Can you guys assist me? I really would like to make some GCam models that produce higher quality HDR+ photos and better lens blur photos.

[Video frame drop issue !!!!][Solved][1080p 30fps with EIS ][4k 30fps with EIS]

I will be not responsible if you burn your device
I don't know its fully working or not but I have tested almost 10 videos and most of them are more than 10 minutes long and all of them was different different conditions lightning conditions.
My prediction was if the Camera sensor is not getting warm with direct sunlight in G-cam then why it is MIUI camera app lagging and throttling down CPU performance ???
The ans is simple Xiaomi put some thermal profile in our vendor so that our phone temperature stays in stable mode / In one way it is good and safe but the profiles are not Optimized to obtain the highest performance of our beloved redmi note 7 pro . That's why the phone is lagging in recording video in stock camera app
The solution is simple ,Just delete those thermal profiles
For MIUI and Custom rom users
Your phone should be Unlocked and you need root permissions.
Using any root explorer go to vendor/etc/ folder
Delete thermal-engine-camera.conf[for camera throttling CPU performance]
Delete thermal-engine-pubgmhd.config[For pub throttling CPU performance]
Or just Install the magisk module[miui and Custom rom] Download-https://drive.google.com/file/d/1I0VGCbjR4rnfi_54OeY9guV_nRCkhiG7/view?usp=sharing
Reboot and try to shoot videos in Direct sunlight Hope you will get particular 29/30fps in 1080p
Your phone will heat upto 52dC [tasered in mine]
Tested on latest vendor and mokee official rom and XEonAX's latest camera mod [4k 30fps is available with EIS:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:] and the videos are buttery smooth
XEonAX's latest camera mod link-https://github.com/XEonAX/ANXCamera/releases/tag/96.singularity
Please share your experience with this modification, I might be wrong
