Hey, I was researching around the internet and I saw that the HDR+ feature can actually be ported over to other phones using the camera nx app. I saw that the Moto z had it ported and some guy claiming it worked on his galaxy s8. The galaxy s8 is using a snapdragon 835 which is the same as our phone, so I'm guessing it is possible to port the feature over. Anyone know how to do that?
The camera blobs don't support HDR+ in any shape or form so it's not impossible but incredibly difficult i.e why bother.
From reddit
Sorry if I got anyones hopes up but it doesn't seem like we will be getting HDR+ anytime soon. I tried everything I can think of but it seems like the OnePlus blobs don't support HDR+. This is something I have confirmed with Amir Zaidi. Therefore, it's unlikely that I could port it over anytime soon.
No, impossible because of the blobs.

Before S8 was officially released, I have read "leaks" that the phone supposedly has 1k fps slow motion video recording, because the camera chip was capable of it.
Is the camera module in S8 really capable of that? If so, then do you think Samsung will later introduce the feature, or that maybe someone could create a ROM with such a feature?
I don't think this is the camera, our camera is pretty much the same as last year S7, the 1k FPS is the newest Sony camera that just came out, but I could be wrong, since I can't find reference to camera model with this capability. I think we do have 240FPS max.
Then whats up with all those leaks? I thought they got the specs, so they analyzed the HW and realized it was capable of it, so naturally they expected it in S8. I, of course, could be wrong, but I still thought that maybe Samsung just decided to hide the feature so they could make some great update and act like big heroes bringing amazing updates, like they did with the original galaxy S.
Anyone know if 1000fps is possible on S8's hardware? Really freaking hoped it would be implemented, because the phone wasnt nearly as great as I hoped the S8 will be. Pretty much S7 Edge with less bazel I have an S8+ btw.
You assume every leak is legit? Come on...
Well last I read the sensor in the US model is the same as the upcoming sony Xperia. So in theory maybe. As for the international s8 like mine, it has the same spec sensor but built by someone else and not sony so may not be capable of the same thing.
Here http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/Sony-Xperia-XZs-Review_id4351/page/3 Sony XZs with 19MP sensor and sensor has dedicated large frame buffer to store those frames. As far as I know S8 has 12 MP sensor which is just newer model of S7. Also the review says that cam is not so good in low light, not sure if I would want to trade 12 MP sensor we have now, with good low light performance to 19MP sensor with low light performance not as good but with 4x slower slow motion.

Read wrong.. 19mp in the sony... opps
From what I've seen in Unbox Therapy's video the camera app (and especially it's portrait mode) on the Galaxy Note 8 seems to be a lot better. Will there be a port like we saw with the Pixel camera? The note 8 had a model with the SD835 like the op5 and I guess other smartphones with the same type of dual camera setups could benefit from this as well. Will we ever see a port of the app and if not why?

I wouldn't hold my breath. TouchWiz is much further away from OOS than Google's version of android. Too many proprietary files on TouchWiz that we wouldn't have access to.
Doubtful, even if it's got the same chipset, it won't have the same cameras. OnePlus usually use Sony cameras (Apparently the main camera is the Sony IMX 398), Samsung will most likely use their own and the software will be designed to fit their own hardware.
Apparently the S7 has a Sony camera though, so....who knows.
Yeah, probably slim to none. Touchwiz is too proprietary

Before I got this phone I kept seeing the comment about how we technically have the same camera hardware as the S7 but are limited by Moto's software versus Samsungs Superior camera app/software/image processing. So I've been wondering for a while but never seen it brought up around here........ Would an S7 camera port ever be possible? I know TouchWiz is it's own world and this would probably require porting all of TouchWiz, but I wonder if it's worth it, or maybe even possible for just a camera port alone?
It is not the same camera as in S7.
I believe the image sensor is the same as the S7 (a Sony unit), but that's all. Likely, the optics are different, and that's where the differences start. Hard to say if the kernel driver is the same, but I'd expect Sony to supply something to OEMs in that regard.
The only thing that can really help improve image quality on a G5 plus is post processing, ie. Use snapseed or some similar app.

I am planning to buy the Le Pro 3 x720 and customise it to have a oneplus 3 experience.
The LEx720 and OP3 has the same camera sensor and almost same processor (snapdragon 821 for LEx720 & snapdragon 820 for OP3)
kimovilDOTcom/en/compare/leeco-le-pro-3-6gb-64gb,oneplus-3-6gb-64gb-cn
Yet the x720 camera reviews are less positive in comparison to the OP3. I guess its the processing.
1. So has someone ever tried the Oneplus camera on the LEx720?
apkmirrorDOTcom/apk/oneplus-ltd/oneplus-camera/
2. Is it possible to have some samples comparison please, especially against the google camera?
My alternative choice would be the Meizu M6 Note which boasts the same camera as the HTC U11 and it's working pretty great with its Arcsoft algorithm.
3. Based solely on camera, can the LEx720 deliver a better image quality than the Meizu M6 Note?
I would really appreciate your views.
Thank you all in advance.
I wouldn't say you're guaranteed to get a Sony sensor. Some people here are reporting that their camera isn't working on custom ROMs like Paranoid Android--which means that they have a different camera sensor (I believe custom ROMs for the Pro3 variants are built with Sony drivers, but IDK). The OnePlus 3 camera is miles better than the Pro3 camera simply because OnePlus bothers to put good camera software on their phones. Not iPhone-quality, but definitely up there. When it comes to cameras, software is a lot more important, IMO. That's why the iPhone 6's camera quality holds up today, even though the phone was released in 2014. Name a single Android phone from 2014 with good camera quality today...
You are not guaranteed good camera quality from Chinese phones. Some Chinese brands claim to make this a priority, but reviews don't lie. Now, Camera2 API may improve quality, but it really depends. Camera2 API has done wonders for variants of the Xiaomi Note 4 stuck with the inferior Omnivision sensor. It's done even more for variants with Sony and Samsung sensors. And I expect it does well for the Pro3 too, since the Pro3 has a chipset with good image processing. Do your research. Look around the forum and search for camera mods. See if you like the results or not. Camera2 API requires you to root your phone.
Sorry, but if you want a flagship-worthy camera experience, you either buy an iPhone 7, 8, or X, a Samsung S8 or Note 8, an OP3T or OP5, or a Pixel phone. Pixel phones have the best smartphone cameras in the market right now, especially the Pixel 2, since it has dedicated hardware for it. I can't think of any other phones that take excellent images no matter where you are or what you're doing. With other brands you'll have to either a) make sure there's enough lighting, b) be in the right place at the right time, or c) do a lot of manual post-processing, which ruins image quality.
I'm okay with my x722's image quality. It takes good shots in sunlight. Low-light performance is awful. Pretty typical experience. I don't know which sensor I have, though. I'd have to be rooted to find that out.
The Meizu M6 Note has a better sensor. Even if its camera software is awful, it's bound to be better. LeEco doesn't even try with its camera app, so Meizu has to be better.

Different camera sensor? Has there been a case? Doing so would be nightmare for device maintenance and unless it is a large scale company with a model that gets sold huge quantities (Samsung and Apple), it would just be a unnecessary headache without any benefit. Camera not working on certain custom roms does not indicate different sensor. Far from it. A missing or extra line on device tree or even in build.prop would cause it.
It is true that camera sucks on most of Chinese phones. They've got the hardware but unless you're shooting RAW, end result will be very poor.
However, that was the case before Google HDR+ port. That port makes dramatic different. No reason to use OnePlus camera when OnePlus users are rooting for Google HDR+.

Is that so? Sorry, I didn't know that. I thought it strange that the camera would work on ROMs installed on some devices but not others.

Yeah, Gcam changed everything. Now phones with the worst sensors get decent shots, even at night.
Guys I have been searching a lot for the latest Google Camera 6.1 Mod, (Pixel 3 one with Nightsight) for AOSP based ROMs, didn't find any.
Please drop a link to the one that you guys are using. preferably a TWRP flashable.
TIA, please be kind, Noob here.
The camera was barely ported with portrait mode and it isn't even working that good. Personally i think we would never the nightsight for our exynos processors, snapdragon maybe?
I'm also looking forward to behaving pixel 3 camera with night sight for galaxy s7 exynos
