It looks like we have full support of camera 2 api.
try snap camera from the store it have a option to enable..used the app if I was on aosp rom with the m8
Good to see
I forget where, but this was actually confirmed a looooooong time ago (well... long in tech time. Couple of weeks ago though).
I thought that since Samsung doesn't offer shutter speed control in pro mode that they didn't enable the full camera 2 api.

Hi,
According to the person who wrote this article, it seems that the camera2 api is not fully supported at the moment :

The manual camera checks would then bit too enthusiastic if this is true.
Can anyone who has manual camera installed try to take a picture in RAW and post the DNG file here?
I couldn't find any S6 DNG file on the web; it would be great if someone could confirm whether it is really possible to shoot in RAW with the S6.
With a Nexus 5, the 3 following apps can shoot in RAW :
- a better camera (there is a free version with limited number of shots in case)
- camera fv-5 (paid app)
- manual camera (paid app)

It does, but due to driver limitations, the longest shutter you can choose in Manual Camera app is 1/10. The longest shutter the S6 and edge is allowed to use (when ISO is manually set in the stock camera app) is 1/7. And when Manual Camera opens, WB is all green, so you need to long press WB to make it normal. There is now RAW support wither.
Right now the best camera SW for the S6 and edge is the stock, which is extremely fast to open, very quick to focus and snap, and offers a wide variety of options including manual settings, without shutter control. The latter is a pity, but without long exposures, you can just indirectly control it via ISO, either way, you are maxed out at 1/7. On the bright side... the lens is very bright, offering dramatically better lit details at the same SP and ISO than the S5, Note 4 or One M9, and it makes it a solid snapper indoors. Overall camera2 API is a mixed bag at it's current state and I hope full manual control comes soon with long shutter options.
Not sure this is because of camera 2 API or not, but you guys notice you can now separate auto focus from exposure point in pro mode? You can press and hold to lock the focus point, while shifting the exposure point to elsewhere on the screen. Makes it much better while shooting in situations where background and foreground are in vastly different exposure brackets.

I Installed "Manual camera" app (compatibility app said that it would work) but it doesn't work.
"Manual camera" interface appears, turns green and freezes, and phone either reboots or app
just shuts down. Camera gets a little warm too.
Was hoping to get DNG files from S6, but doesn't look good.
Very disappointed about this.
Uninstalled app and was refunded.
Thanks for the feedback!
I tried the Manual Camera app as well and it all appeared to be working for me, until I attempted to save a RAW image. This crashed my camera and required a full reboot to resolve.

I don't think there's RAW support for any non-Nexus phone (maybe one of the Chinese ones, but not from the major OEMs).
Also, doesn't the shutter top out at 1/10 or 1/7?
Yeah when putting it into raw and gpeg you will get a crash we have to wait for Samsung to do an update . I have a feeling that the ois is the reason samsung cannot alow shutter speed variation as even dslr cameras don't use image stabilization when it's on long exposure and as ois cannot be switched of manually then this will be a problem .
Any one who is interesting in the iso 50 and Raw Files pictures. It is available but Samsung did not flip the switch . Please use Camera fv-5 app it Works Well it is no perfect I am not surprise that it was not enable
That is of course in 5.1.1,
install android 5.1.1 unitedKingdom...

Closed the Thread per OP Request.
Can anyone test if its possible to shoot RAW with the Nova?
You can use the open camera apk (free) to test this.
And if it does shoot raw(dng files), could you upload the files?
Thanks!
I do not see any options for RAW in settings.

Did you try with the Open Camera app (or any other camera that enables dng capture)?
Yes, like you asked. I also tried AZ Camera but the phone does not support Camera 2 API.
I own the little brother, the P9 Lite and while it does support Camera2 API and thus RAW DNG capture, there is no way to enable this in the stock camera app.
While I know there are several 3rd party camera apps that allow RAW capture, having tried most of them, none even comes close to the stock camera app. They're either clunky to use, or they're ugly as sin (I'm looking at you Open Camera).
I even tried editing /system/emui/lite/prop/local.prop and set ro.build.hw_emui_lie.enable to false and although it did change some aspects of the UI (shades, notification drop down blur etc) there was no RAW capture option in the default camera app.
I guess what I'm asking is if there is a way to capture RAW DNG files on the P9 Lite using the stock camera app.
Thanks.
Try pro mode and look if you see raw in camera settings.
Wow... Why did I not think of this before?!
Changing ro.build.hw_emui_lite.enable to false and then going into pro photo mode, the RAW capture option​ is right there.
Excellent! Just what I wanted. Thanks.
I just want to know can any buddy say that mi a1 supports raw imaging or how its support ??
Also it supports pro shot app which was supported by honor 8 at that same price range
plz...
With default app it doesn't support raw shots
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/themes/google-camera-hdr-t3655215
There are multiple versions of gcam in this thread. I use the one from the androidfilehost. There is an option in the app settings.
''HDR+ RAW+JPEG
Save raw DNG files when taking HDR+ images in addition to the standard JPG''
I tried capturing through Bacon Camera but it doesn't capture, and also by FreeDCam , It however captured Bayer file but it didn't work either as the Bayer file was not decoded
If anyone know it please let us know
It can be done with Snap Camera HDR I think, even without root. I would love to have a chance to shoot portrait mode in RAW with default app, but thats not gonna happen sadly.
