Hi every one,
I need help in a project i am doing.
I need to activate a camera module with an external controller.
The camera I want to operate is the rear cam of the Iphone 4s.
I searched a bit and found that it is Sony's camera and the name is IMX-145.
This was made by chipworks.
But I cant find any datasheet or some clues about this module or its structure.
Can you help me ?
Thanks
XDA is for android. Try an iPhone forum
I need documentation on 8 MegaPixel cam.
It does not matter to me if its IPhone or Samsung Galaxy S II.
I need a good camera (part of a smart phone) documenting, eg datasheet pinout or ICD.
Can anyone help ?
Where can I find this sort of documentation?

I think what the meant was that the majority of the people here specialize in Android based devices/parts/etc.
It would be more prudent to go to an iPhone web forum to find the information you are seeking, maybe an iPhone modding scene or something like that
... The fact that the OP is asking for a hardware datasheet it boggles my mind how the above responders think that it has anything to do with what software is accessing said controller/sensor. They must be complete Derp's to think it matters if its android or ios, and negate the fact that what is being asked for has nothing to do with it.
To the OP:
If its a new revision of said sensor, then getting a new datasheet will be extremely hard to come by. You'd probably be able to find said datasheet for earlier revisions unless its protected as a proprietary piece of hardware of Chipworks.
I would guess that maybe something would be found buried in the chipworks website on the matter. Generally though for newer hardware or revisions of existing hardware, datasheets are not released to public until they've been replaced with newer models/revisions.
As it stands It looks like they can only be bought.

XDA is for android
This forum (xda) just for ANDROID...
XDA is for Android, Windows Phone, Web OS, Meego, Bada, etc. And yes, there is even a link for iPhones on the main page.
Besides, Apple doesn't necessarily have an exclusivity deal on the camera sensors. The iPhone 4 used the same sensor that many HTC phones did, but the sensor itself can only do so much. The post processing and especially the optics are what makes or breaks a camera.
I'd find someone working for IT company and ask him to send request there - http://www.ovt.com/ and maybe to Toshiba asking for datasheet and samples of some sensor if you need only sensor. But, as xHausx said, you may need also camera-processor so you may want to look for ready sensor+processor fused modules. And these seems to me to have all very similiar interface (on ARM SoCs you can find camera handling modules - these are universal), though reversing ready device or getting datasheet for proper I2C/SPI communicating with such thing may be needed, which is rather model-specific.
iPhone from hardware level remains the very same device as all other Android devices and iPhone-developers doesn't have strictly hardware-modding forum as XDA does. So XDA is more appropriate place to ask for such things IMO.

Does the Axon 7 support ANT+ ?
I've seen a few forum posts mention it, but it's not listed in the specs.
I would assume so since there is a driver installed called "ANT HAL Service 4.0.0" if you look through the system apps. And would it really be a separate chip? I would assume it's part of the Snapdragon 820 SoC, radio related things tend to be on the SoC. So if one Snapdragon XYZ phone has ANT support, all SD XYZ phones should. Unless I'm wrong and it is actually a discrete chip.

well if some people said that LineageOS broke it, it should be working on stock, right?
Yes, it does. I use it regularly.
My ultimate decision in the next week or so will be 6T or Mate 20 Pro.
I really wish 6T included dual GPS. My understanding is it locks in quicker in built up areas.... with so much of my time in CBD I really would LOVE this.
Any hope of a surprise on launch?
Don't most phones now support GPS and the Russian (or European) variant called GLONASS and there is a 3rd one that is Chinese u thought.

You are correct, but my question is different and should have used better terminology - apologies.
What I'm hoping for in the 6T is "Dual Frequency GPS". Xiaomi first introduced it in their Mi 8 and now Mate 20 Pro has it.
Details and benefits can be found: https://www.androidauthority.com/dual-frequency-gps-878169/
I'm never excited about these launches anymore since they always seem to hold things back. I'd love to see dual freq gps in the 6t though. That would be a geocacher's dream. We'll know tomorrow.
Ahhh. Thanks for the info. Interesting.

Think its unwise to hold your breath waiting for dual frequency GNSS. Seems that even when the GPS hardware is installed, the phone makers are happy to advertise and promote it.......even if it isn't activated or is non-functional. Here is an excellent article to fill in the sorry blanks...

So I was planning on buying this phone.
But before I buy this phone I have a few questions to ask.
Will this phone get official LineageOS? if yes, how long does it take?
how was your experience with the phone so far? Was it good or bad, and why?
Will the price of this phone will drop in a few weeks?(for Malaysia set)
Thank you!

My opinions:
1. It's still in the earlier stage for this phone, so LineageOS maybe take time to be "tasted".
Need some patient here..?
2. Its bad for the software. The curve aren't smooth enough at the bottom(not sure yet is that from software or hardware).
Im also facing wifi tethering problem where its connected but no internet.
(Im starving for custom rom ?)
Hardware seems to be ok but im still confuse with gsmarena n cpu-z where gsmarena state the cpu clock are 2.2GHz but the cpu-z state its only 1.96GHz.
3. This year end sale would do, maybe. Discount only.
The price trend maybe still the same just like the M1 generation.
Just sharing my opinion..

1. I dont think you will get that Lineage OS anytime soon since the TWRP for this phone not even out yet.
2. If you had used Asus Phone before, their OS is pretty plain if you compared to the features rich Samsung or Huawei. The phone is very responsive and the screen looks great compared to my Samsung A7 2017. For the amount money you pay, you get the fastest mid tier processor, 6GB RAM and 64GB Storage, nothing to complain form me. The only problem I see now is the wordings being cut at both left and right edge at the bottom, and it seems I am unable to format any of my Sandisk Ultra 128GB MicroSD as portable storage (the card was used in my Samsung phone and it works well all the time) but It can be formatted as internal storage using adoptable storage. So far I had tried 3 Ultra cards all just refuse to work properly.
3. Direct D is selling at RM999 for the 6GB version, you should be able to find some selling on Lazada or Lelong slightly cheaper, maybe RM50 or so. They are doing promotion on the M1 at RM899 for the 6GB version but when they are selling at RM999 for the M1, I can find the M1 selling for like RM859 on lazada for the 6GB version. So unless you are getting the M1, yes you can find some with reduce price if you look hard enough, but for the M2, maybe just slight cheaper than the SRP for now.
Better not to buy, phone has lot of bugs Asus never gonna fix the issues. Better to switch mi or Nokia android one series with zero bugs.
1. Will this phone get official LineageOS? if yes, how long does it take?
Let me just clarify that I am happy with stock android because I bought this phone strictly for work. I am not even going to root. However, people who want to flash custom roms have to wait. The unencrypted source code was recently released. Hopefully, development can pick up pace and there will be custom roms soon.
2. How was your experience with the phone so far? Was it good or bad, and why?
It is good. For the price I paid, this phone is performing extremely well. I debloated it as soon as I got it out of the box and now the stock android coupled with good hardware is excellent. I have not noticed the notch issues, maybe because it is a recent purchase and it was fixed, or maybe because I am using Nova launcher and the notches at the bottom seem fine to me.
The phone is fast and responsive and the battery lasts forever. Call quality, network reception, wifi/bluetooth connectivity and external storage are all working fine for me. There are no complaints.
The camera seems sub-par. I am not an experienced photographer so maybe others could use it better. The photo quality is far from what I got from my older pixel phone but I don't mind because I only use it to scan documents, for which it works well.
3. Will the price of this phone will drop in a few weeks?(for Malaysia set)
Unlikely, seeing the pricing trend of the older max pro m1 in India
Thank you for the reply!
I think will buy the phone, but not now... maybe in a few more months or when Asus decide to put an discount
Oh and yesterday(1 jan 2019) price for Max Pro M2 got 5% off to RM819... so yeah I'm gonna wait

That the reason why I asked about LineageOS(or any other custom roms). If Asus not gonna fix it, then maybe some developer will.
About switch to Mi or Nokia, I prefer to have pure android experience... I know Mi and Nokia have in Android One program but Mi don't have audio jack while Nokia too expensive for me.

Lol, he must have someone on the inside. Every oems fix the issues through updates. Max pro M1 received like 15 updates I think. So don't worry it will get fixed. This is the best mid ranger right now.
About custom roms: some members of the community were able to port twrp and also root the phone using magisk today. So the development will also Kick-start in a month or two.
Buy it if you like it. :good:

Redmi 7 won't come for another 2 3 months even if they release it in India. Both phones will be similar and similarly priced. And don't get your head churned about the 48mp camera. It's just clever advertising.

I'm more interested into small waterdrop notch and usb type-c compare with max pro m2 notch and micro usb.
to my understanding that Redmi note 7 using Samsung sensor and its only 12 MP interpolate to 48 MP but not for Redmi note 7 Pro which is using Sony imx586 that actually real 48MP
Redmi note 7 Pro will release in China in Chinese New Year(probably) and after 1 month maybe we can see this phone for global set

Rn7 pro. Hmm. No idea when that will come to India.
Does it support MHL or not ?
My decision is greatly depending on this feature, please inform me.
Dont buy this hanging phone touch problem and hanging problem. We have to press 3 times to open particular app.

what phone are you referring to? RN7 or max pro m2?
Hi,
Does anyone know if the Oneplus 8 [Pro] has an NFC chip supporting Mifare Classic? That usually means a chip from NXP. I have checked MCT COMPATIBLE_DEVICES (and INCOMP.) and ShopNFC NFC-list but they are not listed (and actually the shopnfc list has Pro 7 listed as not classic compatible, but the MCT document says the opposite, so even if someone know that 8 [pro] has the same chip I am not really convinced).
If you have a 8 [Pro] and a Mifare Classic card (quite a lot of travelling/bus cards and access cards/keyfobs using that variant) and want to help, download MCT from F-droid or Google Play and see if the phone recognizes a card (should give a pop-up with something alike "New tag found").
Would help a lot in my decision of buying a new phone. Currently using Oneplus 6.
Thanks
(Almost duplicate as in the 9 Pro forum, but had the same question for that variant, which has a compatible chip)
Well, answer to my own question. I got an answer from OnePlus:
"We would like to inform you that both OnePlus 8 Pro and 9 Pro comes with SN100T NFC Chipset which is manufactured by NXP."
