Photography RAW on Lollipop - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

[Q] Camera RAW image capture?

Looking for a RAW capture with Android camera.
I am trying with Xperia X10 camera to capture RAW image, now it has got Android 2.3.3 and APIs are available.
Couldn't get it though.... Can anybody shed a light on it?
Also, is there any API or lib or .so which I can play around... I promise I will share all my knowledge here
Thanks in advance.
I second this request I would also like to shoot raw photos on my droid. I dont like JPG its an awful format.
I think it is related to camera hardware and not software. As I know, only one windows mobile phone from HTC can shoot and save as raw.
If you want to have a better quality, you can increase the image quality or just keep it as 100% original in media_profile.xml
Accidentally sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
Its likely a low level driver thing. Which like modems, the manufacturers don't release the source for.
+1 on this.
shooting raw will be a super feature for photography savvy users.
especially that almost all in-phone processings are extremely suck.

As far as i know, only android lolipop has the ability to capture raw images. You have to upgrade to android 5.0 to capture raw image from your phone's camera. Its android Lcamera. It is an experimental app and will work fine if the hardware of our camera supports all the functions of camera.

Xperia X Camera2 API support

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.

RAW photo capture?

Hi guys, I have a question...
Is there a possibility for OnePlus X to shoot RAW? I heard official Camera app from OnePlus should be able to do it.
However I am using CM13 (which should even have camera2 if i am not mistaken) and I cannot shoot RAW. The only thing I can shoot now is HDR (which is neat, but raw is raw for me as a photographer and I don't my carry camera with me everywhere).
Could it be because I am using Sultan's HAL (although I installed HAL switcher correctly)?
Thanks for any advice and help!
Also I cannot go to lineage as I use xposed framework on a daily basis
The camera supports deviating forms of the RAW format... All of which are digitally processed. You are not going to get true RAW photographs out of the camera
Someone worked on that and .dng were produced, but they were to much regressions to use it. Manuals controls out, some artefacts...

Google camera with working hdr+ option for sony devices

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.

Camera2 API and EIS

Hi, will it get Camera2 API support & EIS soon? At least in Android P?
Or can we enable/add Camera2 API support & EIS in the phone?
Maybe it isn't possible if we can root first

Their reply regarding this matter,
As per your inquiry regarding Edge Detection, we have taken your feedback and shared the same with the relevant team so that they can look into your suggestions.
For Camera inquiry, we would like to inform you that your device supports camera 2 API.
Without unlocked bootloader it cant be possible. I heard somewhere that gcam Doesn't work with mtk soc.
