Camera that CAN record UP to 4k - Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers

Is there Anyone who CAN make a moded camera for p9 lite that CAN record UP to 4k ans thanks!

If the stock camera do not record videos in 4k it's impossible. It is a hardware fact lol.

I don't know, maybe if the camera have the hardware necessary to take video/photo up to 4k ?

I had the G2 as well,and that was a really big software modification for 4k to be enabled. We have no clue that the P9 Lite camera can even record 4k videos,the LG G2 was lucky enough to be equipped with a good camera which was weakened by LG on the software level.

Lg g2
The G2 was an epic phone

The sensor is compatible to 4k, the SoC isnt.

Isn't capable to record 4k even in 30fps and a lower bitrate?

And what about with the 720p60/1080p60 video record?

Hi,
That might be possible with a little tweaking of the camerahal. The Honor 8 can do it and it has the same SoC, you might want to look at its camera hardware to check compatibility. It might be possible (if it has the same camera sensor) to take its camerahal to gain 60fps support.
Note: However, modifying the camerahal is not an easy task. It requires alot of effort to get everything working on custom roms. I cant tell you if its ever going to work on the stockrom, since theres obviously no source for that. But still, very unlikely.
Edit: I quickly checked the camerahal, it seems huawei is using a hybrid system between CameraHal1 & 2. This makes everything even more complicated. What throws me off is that devices that ship with marshmallow should be using CameraHal2 in order to match googles requirements for being allowed to ship with the google services.

Uhm, if you dont know where to find them, you shouldnt "play" with them unless you know how to code and compile roms and new kernels from scratch.

Hi,
Happy new year my friend!
I can not since i cant code, but in the past several developers and myself worked on the Galaxy S Plus aka i9001 or AriesVE and got the camera working after 7-8 months of hard work. As i said, its not an easy task.

Request: Factory LG Camera app for AOSP based roms?

Hey folks. Wondering if someone can chime in on the possibility of this...
I want the Camera app from the factory LG rom to work on AOSP phones. only because its HDR ability was much better than any app I have tried to fill that void since I switched to CM. Also it's Manual focus was a nice feature among many other things.
I assume it'd need LG's Framework as well to make it work, but if anyone can try to piece this together, or get me the files Id need (I'm no longer on LG's rom) Id be very grateful!

Focal is going to perform roughly the same as stock CM camera. We need the stock LG camera from the G2 as it can better interface with the hardware, not to mention has device specific tuning for the hardware. No other camera will be able to compete with the stock G2 camera.
To the request, i spent some time trying to get it to work few days ago. Not much progress, others have posted that hey manged to get the camera app to completely start up and take pictures, i have not made this much progress. Wish they would have posted theirs.
There is already a discussion about this in the Att-dev section.

Focal doesnt work for me. I'm on newest CM nightly, and pressing the shutter button in focal causes a FC every time.
As an update, I took the apks and odexs from the LG rom for LGCamera CameraTestApp, LGGallery and the framework-res from the old rom. I tried sideloading the apps with no luck, they wont even show up in my app drawer. I assume I need to install the LG framework alongside CM framework, but that's beyond me.

Hi, is it not possible to download the lg package from one of the g2 standard roms some of them have packages with all the original g2 apps in or am i mistaken about what you want ?
Is this what you were looking for?
Edit: It's a WIP, but hopefully it will work well soon.

Although this camera is awesome. We can't use the volume to take pics. Fc every time. Also burst mode Fc and shutter sound still goes off even though you enable it.
I love the ui of lenovo very aesthetic.
Just with burst mode worked with the volume button.

Amalence makes the software the G2 uses for image processing, and they also have their own Camera software. It's virtually identical to LG's stock camera app, it just has a different skin.

If you compare the stock to this, you'll see what I mean. It's the same camera as stock but with a different (IMO, better) skin.

Do you have a source for saying amalence is the company making LG's camera software? The program is similar yes, but not as good in my opinion. The HDR images are slower to snap and don't look as good to me. There is no "VR Panorama" or whatever LG called their photosphere mode

Note that the A_Better_Camera requires time to take 3 separate images, a good 1-1.5 seconds. The results are good tho.
I highly prefer the CM camera's HDR to A better camera, and I can't honestly tell the difference from the lg camera. The only thing missing is photosphere. I can use Focal for that, oddly enough that's the only feature that works in focal for me.

[DEV] [Discussion] Camera2 features

Hello everyone,
Now we are having fun with the Lollipop in our device. But our device doesn't seem to support every features of Lollipop. I was longing to use
the new features of android.hardware.camer2 API. But when i tried apps like Manual Camera, L Camera ; they report " It is not supported in your device". Devs isn't there anyway to integrate Camera2 support in any ROMs.
This might be of interest. http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/moto-g-2014-camera-sensor-t3053476
Heck even newly launched M9 and S6 premium phones camera also don't support all feature of camera 2 api,,, for our moto g ,,this is sure not possible. Its The reason that not even a single OEM go bang on this bad boy api, it requires lot of hardware elements to be in. Don't keep your hopes with Moto g on this ,,I an damm sure even moto x' 14 will not get this
This is the 4th or 5th thread i am going through which talks about Camera API 2.0 its pretty evident that our phones will never ever get the Camera API 2.0 support, please stop creating threads which wont yield anything!!
May I add somthing?
The Moto G has the same camera sensor as the nexus 5, the nexus 5 has camera2 api.
Also the camera2 is no hardware stuff, its an api to controll the camera manually.
Hey, maybe we could get 1080p through some camera2 api majic

I was going to answer that. Our phone is pretty capable of almost everything Camera API 2 provides to N5 (except 4k). If some dev be interested and start dig arround i bet we would end with something. We have all sources from both devices.
4k would be a tiny bit too boss

4k wouldn't be possible i believe because of the SoC pipeline. It would be too much data to be handled.
But things like ISO selection this would be perfectly possible, once on N5 this option was selectable even before camera api v2.

He is a ROM developer dude the software side of things Camera API 2.0 needs support of hardware as well as all those library files and modules. In short a complete rewrite of existing underlying Camera software which is very difficult since it requires proprietary files drivers etc. Seeing S6 or S6 Edge or any other major phone lacking it at the moment i feel we will never it until someone develops an open source driver kinda thing for it
I'm not sure what the big deal is with the camera thing. There are literally dozens of camera apps out there that are as good or better than the stock cameras. On the suggestion of someone at XDA that I forget who, I tried A Better Camera and liked it so much I purchased it. It will save to the SD card and has more features than the standard camera.

Try finding an app for manual focus, RAW support, exposure time and ISO sensitivity.
BTW also try Camera FV5. It kicks A Better Camera's a** in terms of bringing powerful features to your phone.

We are all speculating here, even you. No one has a digged to find if we can use anything from Nexus 5. The ones who has skills for this kind of thing is simply not interested.
The only thing we don't share with N5 is SoC.

Hey Guys I was wondering if someone of you could Extrakt the camera apk of the h8 because id like to try it on my h7
It won't work buddy maybe, as the API used will be different, and the processing done to display the image will also be different.
But then again, who knows if it will work or not.

Yep, you are right, as the sensors are different, all the magic is theirs, and API's which also will be different due to different sensors, and drivers and stuff.
So IMHO it won't make much difference if you use Honor 8's camera app, although the app come with a bit more functionalities or features.

[W.I.P] Samsung Camera App for the OnePlus 3T

I've read a lot about this phone lacking a good camera. I own a S6 and an S7, so I dumped the camera app from my Samsung phone as well as the frameworks required for the camera app to work.
I'm not sure if this will work because I don't have a OnePlus 3T phone on hand (I am planning on getting one though), so this hasn't been tested. These files are stock files and unmodified. From what I've read as long as the frameworks are available, the APK files should function, so if anyone would like to test these out and report back to let me know how it works I would appreciate it.
Recommendations:
Just to cover all bases, I do recommend everyone to make a backup of their system. This archive won't make any changes to your system outside of installing the stock samsung camera app, but I don't want to be responsible for any issues if something stops working for you.
I don't foresee anything causing any trouble because if this doesn't work, you can just uninstall it like any other app and remove the *jar files and everything should be fine.
Here are the steps:
1. Extract the archive file. (you should see a readme.txt, SamsungCamera4.apk, and a system folder)
2. Install the "SamsungCamera4.apk" file like any other app (Don't open it up yet after you install it)
3. In the system\framework folder of this archive, you will see a bunch of *.jar files. You need to move those into the .\system\framework folder on your phone. (These are required libraries for the APK to work properly)
You can do this using an app like "Root Browser", but you NEED to be rooted for this to work.
4. After you copy the jar files over, reboot your phone.
5. (Optional) When your phone powers back on, try and clear the cache for your camera app.
6. Try and run the Samsung Camera app on your phone.
I hope this will work out on this phone, because I would really like to see a better camera option for such a great phone!
Let me know what you find!
Extracted the apk and doesn't install.

I installed it as a system app because it can't be installed normally (package appears to be corrupted) and installed all frameworks with rw-r-r.
When I open the app, it flashes black for half a second and then closes
Dang, okay. Let me look into this and see what I can do. When you tried installing it as a regular app, did it say it's not compatible or anything came up?

I would like to be optimistic but if it was possible someone would have done it ages ago. You should be able to port from one Samsung to another as the frameworks are similar but you would need to build it from the source (i.e. build the app yourself from scratch) to have it working on Oneplus 3t and the source code is not open I believe.
You would have better chances at tweaking stock camera than porting Samsung's
Yeah, I might need to look into it a bit further. I was being optimistic and hopeful. I mean, I get that the hardware is specific to the device, but I don't see why a camera like Samsung's camera app couldn't be ported for all Android devices. After all Android is built off the same base platform.
Thanks for at least giving it a try. I think I will go and order my OnePlus 3T when I get home from work, then I'll be able to do more trial and error on my own as well!
Thanks for the attempts guys!

Good luck in testing this once you get your phone but I doubt that you'll be able to port Samsung camera to Oneplus 3t. I think better idea would be working on the stock camera and improving the algorithms and post processing there.
If you get stuck and need experts view on your ideas or help with the code ask the greatest camera developer defcomg for help as he with his expertise will be able to assist you where possible
Thanks! I was actually looking at some other apps in the playstore that are considered "high def camera" apps. I know that a lot of the quality in pictures is based on the hardware itself, however I also know that the software is what drives the hardware to work the way it works. I mean, granted the specs of the camera might not be the same as Samsung's, but a 16mp camera should be pretty darn good quality nonetheless.
Has anyone played around with any of the other camera apps?
I know someone here tried the stock android\google camera. What about one of these?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.marginz.snap
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.opencamera
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.vipek.camera
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riseupgames.proshot2
I realize some of these are paid apps, and I'll look into it once my phone comes in as well. I definitely think there is opportunity for some optimization to make the camera a little better based off everyone's feedback about it.
This is a good initiative to improve the software side of the camera. I know sultanxda has his own hals in his ROMs but I find stock oxygen ROM to have better images and videos with less distortion.
All the luck for your attempt. If you're able to tidy up the algorithms ,it's gonna improve the camera for sure.
Crossing fingers.
That being said, what camera hal version is the sammy cam? But even if it´s the same, I belive you have to build a wrapper to shim the sammy function calls to the qcom camera hal... Good luck!
Propably logs (logcat and dmesg) from the crashing camera app would be usefull.
Bah, unfortunately it seems like I got ahead of myself. I did a little bit more looking into this, and it looks like the SamsungCamera app is actually using a custom SDK, so it doesn't follow the same practice your other universal apps use. Apparently SamsungCamera uses some more low-level technique that doesn't utilize HAL.
Hey Guy's
Have you tried Google Camera? You can get this on apkmirror.
Cheers
Right, it's like I suggested in one of my previous posts. There seem to be a few high def camera apps available across all android platforms which might be a great alternative. I'm not sure, but it's worth a look and test.

Having tried numerous Google camera versions unfortunately none of them give us the same controls (no HDR+, burst mode which no one uses ) that would give to Nexus line users as this is limited to just Google phones. If HDR+ worked on Oneplus 3T it would give the results that Pixel users get and since Samsung camera app is no-go as expected I think working on Google camera app to unlock HDR+ that Google/Pixel phones get would probably be the only solution to improve the results on OP3T.
@m0d hipp¥ can you port or arrange samsung Gallery app for Oneplus 3T???
It will be a great help bro

On Reddit AMA, "THEY" said there will not be any "camera blops"!

What are camera blops and how this will affect custom ROM making, and photo quality in those?
Share your thoughts.
If you mean blobs. Basically drivers for the camera, which are needed when running custom roms to get full functionality.
They said the same about dash charge for the 3.
Okay, if it is so then for me this is the reason for not buying the OP5. Without camera blobs we can't ever get the same picture quality with other ROMs as with OOS. Even worst if OnePlus decide to deliver a broken/bugged HAL2 and HAL3 again. Then we can't use another camera app with all functions even on OOS.
Don't worry we'll get them. Official or unofficial. It's just a matter of time.
Is this really a cause of concern?

Yes. Dash charge was not really blobs. More so code in the kernel

Nope it isn't. I own the OP3 from day one and I never can use my own camera apps "Open Camera" and "A better camera" correctly with it.
OP decides to deliver a bugged/broken camera 2-HAL so only their own camera app is able to work with it.
This is since over a year and corresponding to what I read this will never change as OP don't want to fix this.
A lot of people even tried to unbundle the OOS-camera as a solution for other roms but this never worked 100%.

Not working 100% != not working.
We'll get a well working hal3 camera on custom roms. Some things won't be as good or buggy, but atleast we could use the camera.

just "using" the camera isn't good enough , specially that the selling point of all the phone is the camera , and that behind the stupid non-enhanced camera app the OP5 runs , that shooter has some pretty big potential i guarantee that ... why wouldn't they share or publish the camera blobs anyway ? didn't they already share like all the source codes for the phone ? and aren't they supposed to be user and dev friendly ? ... i get disappointed by this phones more n more everyday ...

Pretty sure they didn't release the full blobs for the OP3 or 3T either. They said they don't want companies copying their technology.
