[REQUEST] port of LG G4 camera apk to oneplus 2

I've been searching how to port the LG G4 camera apk because oneplus 2 one is too slow, I'm not sure what make it slow charging/saving after a shot.
Why the LG G4? Because It is one of the fastest camera availlable now and I belive it has the same laser autofocus.
What do you think guys ? I've also considered the asus zenfone 2 camera apk but people tested the phone and it is crap.

I dont think it works if you only replace camera app with LG camera app. LG camera is great because they(LG phone team) know how to tune their camera. OPT is young company than dont have enough experience. One more thing, laser focus only works under 0.5M.........

Let's try to enable 32 seconds shutter speed?

Hi everyone!
Since zenfone zoom, selfie and laser have manual exposure up to 32 seconds, why wouldn't this be possible with ZE551ML too? I was thinking about acrchitecture, but the zoom is x86 too, so there must be some way to unlock this in our phone (and possibly on zenfone 5 and 6 too).
What could be done to fool the pixelmaster camera app to think it's installed on a zenfone laser or zoom? editing build.prop? does anyone have a laser or zoom here that could maybe check the settings and config so we could try to enable this?
This was posted in general thread and it works, but limited to 1 second and I did not see a difference in the resulting photo:

Since many smartphone out there can shoot at very slow shutter speed (some ****ty chinese phone can shoot 32s long). Im asking u guys any solution to increase the shutter speed more than 1 second?
Any ideas are welcome.
have you even checked if the sensor is the same across these devices? the 551mml uses a toshiba t4k37 sensor.
edit: yea so the zoom uses a panasonic smartFSI sensor so i highly doubt your just going to "enable" the features missing as the toshiba sensor in the 551ml most likly doesnt support the same shutter speed as the panasonic sensor

I agree, the sensors are not the same on the zoom and the zf2, but what about laser and selfie?
Would that be tied to sensor driver limits or OS limits? after all, the same pixelmaster camera is used across devices, so maybe there would be a chance anyway.

from what i can tell the laser and selfie use the same toshiba sensor but with laser auto focusing (hence the name =P)
so if its true and the laser and selfie do have that option then maybe it isnt hardware limited on our phone. but then again im no expert it could have something to do with the intel chipset too being as the laser and selfie use a snapdragon cpu.
but as you stated the first thing you might try is changing the build.prop to show the 551ml as the laser or selfie.

Yup, I'll go to laser/selfie forums and ask for their build.prop and camera_profiles.xml and will fiddle with those.
I'll be back with my results.
see my post, have 32's exposure

Should I get the Mi A1 over Asus Zenfone 3?

My needs:
- Good Camera, esp for indoor and low light use. Need a good manual mode. Portrait mode not important, need to shoot mostly landscape pics.
- Good build quality
- Long lasting battery (~1-2 days for light use)
- Light user, no gaming or other heavy apps
The camera of Mi A1 vs Zenfone 3:
- A1 = dual set up vs Zenfone = single 16MP camera
- A1 = no Laser autofocus, no OIS
- Zenfone 3 = Sony IMX 298 sensor (same as on on oneplus 3t), not sure about A1 sensor quality.
- Maximum shutter speed : 0.067s for A1 vs 32s for Zenfone 3
- Zenfone 3 has a full featured manual mode (more options for shutter speed, WB, ISO etc)
Zenfone 3 comes with a full glass back, and is now more than a year old. The price is half of the launch price. What would you advise. The mi A1 or the Zenfone 3?
go for the A1. some users of ZF3 are having camera issue like blur camera or not focusing.
The camera is not great you need full light. The dual camera is more of a marketing gimmick.
Battery is also not great but does well for the capacity.
For battery I recommend the Lenovo P2 although I have no info on the camera.

thanks for that info, I went thru the Asus forums and like you said, users have complained of camera focus issuing. Are ther any known issues in the Mi A1 that I need to be aware of?

thanks for confirming what i suspected about the camera on A1. Lenovo P2 was on my list, but its bigger and heavier than I need.

Both are 5.5" the size difference is minimal. Slightly thicker due to the monster 5100mAh battery
Expandable memory up to 256mb and HD video. The main drawback being that pesky Lenovo software but community is active on here.
If you take indoor photos, don't buy Mi A1. It has awful low light performance (and I mean awful. The pictures come out grainy. However it has slightly improved by Oreo update). The daylight photos come out amazing though! Landscape photos are amazing.
with google camera it's not bad at all

Yes, i know.. it is all about software... The hardware, as you see, it is capable to shot great pics in low light condition
@traianescu
thanks for the pics, I can see the big difference.

Thanks! Zenfone 3 is better IMO. In A1, images are blurry but in Zenfone 3 images looks sharp and better.
You can get sharp images with the a1 but there is kind of stabilisation so it's hard and videos are better in zenfone 3 too, if you switch to night mode in the zenfone the Image is very bright and pretty clear but night mode on a1 does nothing lol

I had a Zenfone 2 Laser and man, how much I hated that phone. It has bloatware with takes a big part of the space and like a Custom ROM fan I am no one even cared for that device. So, I recommend any phone over Asus ones ^^

Is HDR+ enabled? The difference between the pictures is huge.
Yes, hdr activated on both cameras, to have a fair comparison..
The camera it is more than i need on the phone.. my complains are two other thing: it is huuuge, compared with my ex iphone 5s and i don't have a real fm radio app.. maybe when we will have the kernel source...

I would like to get the Zenfone 3, but am seeing some reported issues of camera not focussing. How common is this problem? should I not consider Zenfone 3 based on this issue.
Good camera? Zenfone 3, no other choice.
Just exclude portrait mode.
I'm not having focusing issue of any kind. I do reset after every big update.
I get 7hr SOT on light usage.
Zenfone 3 fr sure as per ur preference. No focus issues with my phone.
thanks for the replies. I am having doubts due to the comments on this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72640398&postcount=7
Specifically because focussing issue is mentioned as a known issue. Any idea how common this issue is? My nexus 5x has just bootlooped on me so I am trying hard to stay away from phones with major known issues.

Nope, both camera on fw 6.0.1 and 7.0 are the same but seem like in 7.0 it's much better. For the focus issue, i've used camera for several times and i dont see that issue on my phone.

Thanks for sharing your experience.
Would you recommend Zenfone 3 to me? My main need is for a phone with a with good camera and long battery life. ( and cost less than $200)
Right now I see good deals on Zenfone 3 ( for $180) so I am considering it seriously.

I bought it 6 months ago 239$ for 5.2in and 249$ for 5.5in, i bought both variant. In 5.2in, i get 5hr SOT on light usage and 7hr for 5.5in. if you have some knowledge, you will reduce this to 6hr in 5.2in and 8hr in 5.5in-------> awesome .
I bought the 5.2in version. happy with it so far, thanks to all for the help and suggestions.
