I apologize in advance if this has been answered before,
Are there any 3rd party camera apps that can access the wide angle lens on the v20?
I am using a Linage OS based rom and the*stock LG camera is not compatible with it. I*already use "a better camera" app for the standard camera lens.. But really miss*the wide angle one.
The linage rom breaks the 2nd camera due to the drivers in the boot.img being effected as well as some necessary apps are being left behind in the CM style software, this is a known bug across most all devices on pure android.
gonna have to ask in the linage forum if they've got any suggestions, or if its even a possibility of being fixed in the future.
the google pixel xl has 2 cameras right? maybe pull the pixel xl camera and see if it will access both, worth a try

The Pixel XL doesn't have 2 cameras. Just that one 12.3 MP sensor.
I love the OnePlus camera app and I love the dual camera. However, I've used the FreedomOS ROM (great ROM), but whenever an OxygenOS update's available, all my pictures turn solid green! This only happens on the OnePlus camera. Google camera works, but as far as I know, it only works with single camera.
Are there any good cameras I can use with the dual camera (that are free if possible)?

I'm planning to buy Mi A1 in February. Since A1 is Snapdragon powered device in theory it's capable of SD goodies. It has slightly higher octa-core CPU(5X has hexa-core) and GPU clock speed, expandable storage and also have 4 GB of RAM unlike 5X that has 2 GB. I think it will be highly noticable in multitasking. Is there a huge deference (if any) between disabled and forced enabled Camera2API in photos? I'm worried because of it. Enabling Camera2API allows us to use Google camera from what I've heard.
Can someone post photos in different environments to let me compare them with my 5X, that would be grateful.
Hope Xiaomi release source code for this device before February, custom ROMs are "kill features for me".
If it's a bad choice tell me why.
not a major upgrade since 5x still has a support by google, camera is better, community is better since it's google,
Mi A1 released months ago but there is no source, You can't tell if this phone is interested from developers. The safe bet is to wait for a couple more weeks, maybe a month but this is just my opinion. You still can't go wrong to buy this phone. On 11.11 aliexpress will sell this phone for $184 + free shipping. this is insane price.
There's no noticeable difference in 6 or 8 cores, but difference between 2 and 4 GB of RAM is pretty huge.
I made 2 photos, one with stock Camera app(using HDR) and Google Camera app(using HDR+), I tried to make 2 exact same photos. First one is using Google Camera, second one is using stock Camera app: https://photos.app.goo.gl/VVaKFtKlq2ZNOtbz2
Also, kernel sources will be definitely released to public, question is when.
Compare with N5x, camera mia1 damn suck :v

Thanks but can you take photos other than your leg lol. Does ZSL work? As in HDR+ works without loading spinner. I would super appreciate it if you can show us some night shots with HDR+
I've just migrated from N5X to A1 and so far I'm impressed. I was afraid of slightly bigger screen, but got used to it after few hours and now 5.2" feels "small" For me the main differences:
1. 4GB RAM, multitasking is working as expected, no more unfinished HDR photos, no more launcher crashes, ..
2. CPU is much more responsive, doesn't overheat and throttle. I wasn't able to keep up big cores of N5X on long enough, they were shut down very often to keep the temeperature down.
3. A1 is faster overal, app installations took half the time of N5X
4. Stock A1 photos in low light are not very impressive. However simple mod brings gcam (so far I like the simplest version the most) with its HDR+ which does pretty much the same job as on N5X with faster processing.
5. I am not interested in custom ROMs, but A1 is limited at this for the time being
6. A1 has shameful headphones hissing noise, especially with sensitive low impedance headphones. To be fair, N5X has similar issue, however solved easily with custom kernel and lowering the headphone gain. Once Xiaomi releases kernel sources, I expect this issue to be solved in the same way too.
7. Build quality is better on A1, however it is bigger and heavier phone. Better feeling, but a bit less pocket friendly..
8. ZSL HDR works, but with same mixed results as on N5X - bunch of my test photos were blurred. Never had this issue with forced HDR mode, so I'm using it exclusively. Spinner doesn't bother me, at least I know I should keep phone steady
9. A/B partitioning is super nice for seamless updates, but I experienced some issues with Magisk. After failed installation of some modules, Magisk image probably got corrupted and I had to remove it completely and install it again without such modules. Took a bit of trial and error, but I have fully systemless rooted and modded (build.prop tweaks) phone now.
10. Oreo vs Nougat - I miss only really fast boot times and easy use of substratum. Otherwise no big loss in my eyes.
11. attached crops of test comparison photos (Stock HDR enhanced N5X vs. Gcam HDR enhanced A1). Please note that I was able to achieve sharper results with A1, but this is the only photo which I have taken with N5X as well. And there are no legs

I was in the work, so that was the most I could do at that moment xD But you can see pretty big difference between them.
I will make 2 more photos when it's evening here and will post it.
I switched to A1 from op3. Obviously it was a forced switch as there was multiple failure in op3.
Both the phones have their own upper hands and the most I miss from op3 is the super amoled screen. Low light camera in op3 was better but then A1 has portrait mode. Looks wise A1 is not less than op3. As of now, the phone doesn't feel slower to me in daily use as compared to op3.

Try to guess which photo is taken with Google Camera app: https://photos.app.goo.gl/TKD0zxZZcdPLu2WJ3

This makes me feel good about buying A1
Can't wait to get Gcam, waiting for Oreo first before rooting.

I switched, and the phone is better daily driver. No lags or overheating, no more app closing because of memory running out. Does not have nfc but used only once on my Nexus. Mi remote is a cool feature though. Portrait shots are really good in daylight, and modded Google camera works great. What I don't like is that the phone should have launched with Oreo out of the box, or it should have got Oreo by now. There are no cool features like night light and life to check gestures, no double tap to check notification (this feature is present in redmi note 4, which has similar hardware). Android one seems more like a marketing strategy now.
Coming from a Nexus 5X, Mi A1 really is an upgrade. It's like having a more premium phone than Pixel devices since the device feels like an iPhone but with stock android. 4GB ram and SD625-14nm.

I can tell you this for sure, i spent last 2 days trying to get a fully functional Gcam to work on my Note 2 and there is no way to do it. Must have tried 3 dozens different Gcams....and a dozen different hacks on how to get them to work. Some work with no HDR some work only back cam some with no Video Camera etc etc.
I'm running Pixel Experience (8.1) Rom that comes with a basic Gcam with no HDR that is the closest to a working cam. I decided to opt for Open Camera that is free fully functional (HDR, DRO and more) video rec works, front and back work and it supports Cam2Api for extra functions. I'd like to get a fully functional Gcam but as far as i know is not possible...yet at least.
The question *WHY* is a very good starting point.
There are almost no phones sharing the quirky SONY imx318 sensor. Just a handful, rather unpopular phones. Which means no development on the gcam, etc.
However, knowing that the Note 2 has a SD821 SoC and a SONY IMX sensor, porting *should* be possible.
(Google Pixel is running an SD821 and a (far superior) SONY IMX sensor)
I forgot to mention that I have Pixel Experience installed and have removed the preinstalled camera first with help of system app uninstaller , before installing the camera. HDR+ works so far.

Thanks . :good: I tried doing this way and it works perfectly....tho i don't really see this major difference in quality but will test better tomorrow with sunlight.
I bought the 6T on the last day of the Tmo promotion and still waiting for it to be shipped to me. This is my first OnePlus device and I am not familiar of all the 6Ts features. I have mostly used Galaxy devices and I'll be coming from an S7 Edge. On Galaxies there is a camera feature which allows you to record a 3 second clip of each photo you take, does this feature come on the 6T? I haven't been able to find the correct answer to this question. Hoping someone could throw me a bone here. Thanks.
With the default camera, no.
With the Google camera port, yes.

Thanks for the reply. Kind of a bummer that the stock camera doesn't.not have that feature. I love it on my S7 edge.
