Hi all. Does the tab4 or the plus version support camera2 api? It can be tested with this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.vipek.camera2_compatibility_test&hl=en
I just tested (Tab 4 8 Plus) and it does not, all 5 of the checks fail. Hope this helps.
Thank you for the test. Shame but oh well not the end of the world

Does anyone know if we can take advantage of vulkan api in android N when it comes out? Not officially, but third party like CM14 or something in the future.
Vulcan API will be official in Marshmallow N.

I think it is easier to tell the original poster a resounding "NO" as I highly doubt that the Note 4 will be even able to get Android N without some really good porting.
Can someone confirm this is still a limitation for note 4?
I just heard that Vulkan API is coming to mobile and it is supporting PowerVR chips like the one we have on the phone.
(PowerVR G6430). Some people say on the ZENTALK forum that that's why it takes so much freaking time for Asus to implement Marshmallow as they are busy incorporating the API on the phone.
If this is true just image the gigantic boost it will give to our phones! (just watch on Youtube or search on Google for more information about Vulkan API)
If Vulkan API is implemented at our phone it would be fantastic. Hope Asus will work on the API and make the best for our phone, let's see in a couple of months of so
Too good to be true man, too good to be true.
hi, I'm very interested in everything about vulkan since i could see some videos about it. But my knowledge about api, android and rom's is not that good, so i would thank you if i could get some answers.
1 - Is this implementation of API a work for ASUS or Intel?
2 - Since i saw that PowerVR Rogue has now SDK(i dont know what it is) for Vulkan, Is ANYONE able to make a custom rom that could use Vulkan?
3 - I've heard that Android N will have native support for Vulkan. Does it mean that if i download a custom rom, like a cyanogenmod, for Android N to my Zenfone 2 i will have the benefits of using Vulkan?
4 - Does anyone know if that Galasy S7 that had 135k+ on antutu was using Vulkan? Because my Zenfone 2 is a great phone and only scores 65k, it's scary to thing that a S7 should have more than the double of hardware capacity that my Zenfone has. I thing that should be because of vulkan, but i need to hear it from someone who knows what's talking.
I hope to get answers for this questions. Thank you all.

Sorry, that's not how ASUS usually manages fixes and updates. That would take time and money and we've already spent our money so they have nothing to gain, therefore nothing will happen. Only future customers are a priority for ASUS.
A happy ASUS customer is one with low expectations.
Well, at least It'd give Asus a good excuse for being so late...
Vulkan is something that would need to be implemented at the OS level on Android (mainly the kernel, no idea what other bits Google is including in the rest of the OS). And support for each hardware would need to be provided by the OEM or manufacturers. It MAY be possible for a custom ROM to implement Vulkan support in some fashion in a current version of Android (harder and more "impossible" things have been accomplished) but it's not likely due to too many technical challenges. Besides, it wouldn't happen until after Android N is released and the AOSP code is posted. Only then would someone attempt to backport Vulkan.
I'm not 100% sure, but I do believe that Vulkan support will be a requirement by Google for devices to run Android N. So if Asus does plan on upgrading the phones then they will need to include a kernel for the hardware that supports Vulkan and those drivers would come from Intel. So the chance of the Zenfone supporting Vulkan is 100%, provided Asus upgrades it to N.

So is the VULCAN API present in the M update?
Is Vulkan something like the Mantle for Desktops?
EDIT:
Vulkan Drivers for Nexus Player
Google’s Android Image
As part of the Android N Developer Preview 2 release, Google released an Android N image for the Nexus Player that includes Vulkan drivers. You can find out more about the Android N Developer Preview here and can download the image here. As this image is officially supported by Google, we recommend using it for Vulkan Android development.

There is two possibilities:
1- Vulkan added in Android N's mainline code, and CM14 (maybe) will do this too.
2- Vulkan driver will be only in manufacters Android N's source. In this case, will be needed to be backported.
In both possibilites, isnt impossible to do it, even without Asus help. But would be awesome if some official MM give it to us (not in the first version, obviously).
Its GPU manufacturer job to implement vulkan, they provide the drivers to OEM manufacturer implement it on their otas. Nvidia already did that on latest MM update to shield TV and shield tablet.
will our note 3 snapdragon support vulkan API our not
so no one know -_-
The Vulkan Wiki is where to look
A 3 second google .
Android support due for it in Android 7 Nougat .
Thanks for answering
But i mean note 3 will not get android n officially of course but if it get it as cm will it run vulkan??
Only Sd820 support. Sd800 is too old. Let's see if miracle happen.

It will as soon we get Android N , but rest assured this device will have Vulcan support.
I have the Axon 7 running stock Marshmellow 6.0.1 and can conferm that it does not support the Vulkan API yet. Hopefully it will get support with Android Nougat.
No Vulkan until Android 7
does it supports now? hit game cant turn on 6 grafics settings also NFS no limits no high reflections? B16 nougat A2017

So i know that everybody has been requesting that camera 2 API to be enabled by default. There have been multiple requests made to Xiaomi from social (mainly twitter) to MI forums and even in Google bug tracker to request the feature to be enabled in the next OTA. Thankfully one of Google employees asked their DEV teams directly and this is the response he got :
vi.. @google.com <vi.. @google.com> #9 Nov 2, 2018 05:44AM
Please find the below comment received from our development team:
"We continually talk with various Android manufacturers about camera quality and work to improve performance and features available to camera applications across the Android ecosystem. Starting with Android Pie, newly launching devices are expected to have newer camera HAL versions, which will enable better support for camera2."
Bug tracker issuetracker.google.com/issues/117853983 link
Thanks for the effort everyone :highfive:
We did it
I fail to see where the "confirmation" for the Mi A2 is , baited and outsmarted
Let's hope the A2 is included in "newly launching devices"

Good news for you then! Hope we get the pie update soon
hope that also brings with it the arcore support.
Sorry but this is neither a confirmation nor proof we will see this enabled by default. Xiaomi will simply tell us that the A2 didn't launch with PIe so we dont give a *

A1 didn't get pie though yet so we'll have to wait and see. But it's Xiaomi after all..
this thread is click bait
Well I have the Pie update for the Mi A2, and tried to installed the lastest apk from CelsoAzevedo, and it didn't work. Keep stopping. So I guess they didn't enabled it yet.
I updated my mi max 3 to android pie . unfortunately camera 2 api is not enabled.
