Hi,
After briefly checking available camera parameters of the LG G2 (stock), I found this:
picture-format-values=jpeg,bayer-qcom-10gbrg,bayer-qcom-10grbg,bayer-qcom-10rggb,bayer-qcom-10bggr,bayer-mipi-10gbrg,bayer-mipi-10grbg,bayer-mipi-10rggb,bayer-mipi-10bggr,yuv422sp
So I've started to work on a small app that will get unprocessed images to process them later on. But I've faced the following issues:
None of the eight bayer modes give me any callbacks for "PictureCallback raw" and "PictureCallback jpeg".
Is there any chance to get the raw image from this device's camera? With root? Different rom / kernel?
In addition the camera's images are extremely blurred due to aggressive denoise. Since I prefer to clean the noise in photoshop later on, I would like to disable the denoise filter. Unfortunately, params.set("denoise", "denoise-off") does nothing...
Is there a way to disable it?
Thank! :fingers-crossed:
The denoise options you saw are just the standard android camera api...in fact, if you notice they already show as off! Which we know isn't the case LG ended up using their own (licensed) algo.
I tried to get the bayer modes to work a while back myself and met with no luck. I think the problem lies in the supplied driver. There are certainly keys for those modes, but not full driver support.
That said, I hope you succeed!

Thanks for your reply!
Regarding denoise - will it be different if I'll flash CyanogenMod? (Since it rewrites the kernel)
Maybe the filter strength is somewhere in the system files? So setting the filter strength to zero with a rooted phone?

If you're using the stock android/google camera that's included with CM, then it should be. I've reduced the denoising in normal photo mode on a mod to the stock camera/rom, but it didn't give me much granularity in controlling it, unfortunately. It would be nice if it had an integer value to pass to it, but it doesn't appear to.
WIth SlimKat, i was able to get a raw image, using YUV422SP.. The problem is that there isn't any YUV 4:2:2 Semi-Planar viewer or converter!!!
The raw image is 26MB vs 3,64MB the JPEG
With IrfanView, you can view the RAW, but since the app doesn't support 4:2:2 Semi-Planar import, the best image you can get is a grey scale BMP..
if you still need the Bayer data I managed to get all the supported raw sensor data
use this its setup for raw capture
www.mediafire.com/?4d723slsdlg3d1y
dissemble the apk
search for picture-format string open the one from the e.smali file
it will be in a method called PR
change locals to 4
then copy add const string v3 with desired picture format then replace v2 with v3 in the set invocation of Camera$Parameter. You need to change to change two more values and you're good to go next search for ".raw" you will find two one in addImage the Other in UpdateImage Method it will be in a.2.smali
change the const-string above equalsIgnoreCase to match the desired picture format in both addImage /updateImage methods Happy Snapping Tested on Zte Nubia Z5Sn with same sensor as G2
I miss an old feature of Galaxy S3: Location in picture filename taken by Camera.
Is it present in Galaxy S5?
I cant find a similar option!

Have you turned Location tags on in your camera settings, this enables the GPS, then in gallery when you look at a picture, tap the Menu buttons > more info and the location is indicated there using Google maps, is that what your looking for.
Thank You, but I'm looking for a differend feature. On my old Galaxy S3 picture file name was like this: 20140216_104656_Abbey Road_HDR.jpg so there was the name of the street where You took the picture into the file name.

Yes, I completely agree. On my old Note 3 i used to be able to enable this very useful feature, "contextual filename" - what that did was basically add a *_street_name* location tag to the end of the filename. Now people who make lots of albums surely find this extremely useful, as you can instaltnly recognize the area where the image was shot (very handy, trust me, if you have like thousands of pictures)

On my actual Note 4, you CAN enable location tags, but you CANNOT turn contextual filename on, as it's completely gone as a feature, and I have but recently realised this, after copying some pics from my phone to PC, where the EXIF will not even show you the basic coordinates.

Yes it is available on my S3 which has camera version 1.5, it is on my TAB which is version 2.0 but its not on the S5 which is version 3.0, when you decompile the apk it is not even in the structure as disable option its just not there at all, only Samsung know why they have removed it completely.
Hello every one! Hope you're having a great day
I'm here because I need your help To make a long story short, until I can save enough to buy a new proper camera, I'm stuck with my P9 Lite, which cannot save pictures as RAW/DNG files. This feature is provided by Google's Camera2 API, which my phone doesn't have/support. Four questions:
1. Is it possible to install Camera2 API on my phone, through a custom ROM?
2. Is it possible to install a custom ROM without losing on the initial image quality provided by my phone's camera?
3. In theory, could this API be enabled by a future software update? Or does it only have to do with how the phone was originally conceived?
4. Even if I managed to get the API on my phone, would it be possible to make it fully supported, and would I be able to save RAW/DNG files even if my phone originally doesn't offer this option?
Thank you very much!
P.S: I've never thought of "flashing" a custom ROM on my phone, this issue is the only reason why I'm considering it. As you may have noticed by my way of explaining things, I'm a five year old when it comes to informatics, and I'd probably be the first in line to buy Smartphone Software For Dummies. As much as I admire how technical and specialised you can get about a science that goes way beyond my understanding abilities, if you can keep things slow and simple, as if you were talking to an actual five year old, I'd be very grateful

Can't you just install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.opencamera on stock ROM? I think the camera2 api should be available.
Thank you for replying! The application supports Camera2 API, but if the API is not available on my phone in the first place, I don't think the application will work...According to my researches, the API is like, let's say, a camera: if your phone doesn't have a camera, you could install as many camera apps as you want, your phone still won't take any pictures...What I need is a way to add a camera to my phone - in our case, the API - so that I can start taking pictures - in our case, saving RAW/DNG files. Also, I might be wrong.

So the app doesn't work? I can't test it cause I am not on stock.
Just tried open cam on stock rom and I can capture RAW dng files, so it seems like camera2 is supported try it out!
UPDATE: Enable "Use alternative flash method" in photo settings if it won't take pictures when camera2 is enabled.
Open camera is pretty buggy on this phone when shooting RAW. Try "Footej camera", seems to work better
yaa but for footej need to pay to have fully featured. I payed for this but for m there is no diference to open camera.
I didn't say that Footej is better than open camera. Just that open camera often bugs for me when using camera2 - eg nothing happens when pressing camera button.
Sry for reviving the thread, is there any way to increase max shutter speed in camera2 api? I'm really interested in shooting some raw stuff but apps like Opencamera or Adobe Lightroom won't allow me to set over 1 second shutter speed (apart from the built-in camera app that allows up to 8 secs, but without raw support...) so it's a pain in the butt if I want to take raw pictures at night.
Using the stock Marshmallow Emui
The Lightroom app has a built in camera which can shoot RAW, I tried it and it works flawlessly.
Camera API2 *IS* present on p9 lite and *DOES* work.

Yup it does, but shutter speed cannot be set over 1 second (see the screenshot), that means night photos end up being very noisy since I need to drastically increase iso. The default camera app allows much longer shutter time, that's why I'm wondering what's wrong
If it was possible to set it to like 10 secs in the Lightroom app, the camera would be damn great

Full. Does it work for you?
Also I heard that official Nougat brings raw support to the built-in camera, can anyone verify that? I might wanna update in that case

I Know This Is Quite Old But In Case Someone Is Still Wondering;
I'm Using Stock Nougat Firmware On My P9 Lite And It Does Support Raw Format, But You Have To Root The Phone And Enable Raw/DNG Format In Some System Files
Hello,
I hate the samsung camera! After sayd this, I'd like to get some custom values to set a greater shutter speed.
The possibility is limited to a 10 seconds of shutter speed and I wish to have a list like 2,4,6,8,10,20,30.
I saw that also installing on s8 others camera app, it's possible to set the shutter speed to max 10'' or less.
I could give up to many short exposure values to have more long values.
I tried to disassembler the apk camera but I was not able to understood what modified is needed.
Now:
1. First of all I wish to know if it's possible to make this modifies (I guess yes, otherwise how "zero mod camera" do it?!)
2. In second place, this change has to be makes in the apk or in some file system?
3. Any advice about how to do that?
Thanks for your reply
Hi guys,
i didn't find an answer so i'll just post it here. Has anyone found a way to activate location tagging on pictures without having to enable the location enhancements in options ?
It is a real battery drainer and i don't want to leave it activated but i couldn't find a way to add a location tag to the pictures i take without it...
thanks for your help
