Hello guys, is there a chance that with the new camera API in Android L we will see slow motion feature on a Nexus 5? i'm really interested in this argument and so i made a lot of searches about it. What i found is that Jishnu, the developer that made the Camera mod for the Nexus 5, said that the problem is there's no libs for the slow motion implementation. I really wish to know if our phone is hardware capable of that feature and so the implementation is only software related or not.
Sorry for my English xD

Hi guys, don't know if it's possible, is there any dev that could port HDR+ function of Nexus 6 (which has the same camera, with the addition of OIS) on our OPO???
There are many excellent camera for our device but i think that this could be a great added value for our device.

Only CM can do this because it requires updated lib files

HDR+ depends on full support of the new Android camera HAL (source). It is theoretically possible that we could have our own non-Google Camera version of HDR+ since our camera app apparently has direct control over shutter speed and ISO, but it would have to be written by Cyanogen from scratch since the Camera Next app is closed source. I think we have a better shot at getting full Camera2 support in the coming year than we do getting a custom version of HDR+.

Yeah, i've read that. Also Clear Image is a sort of HDR+ but results aren't as good as the original (they work in slight different way), in the original post i meant the porting of the whole official feature of Nexus 6 ( i don't know what have to be ported, maybe camera driver) to work with OPO. I also think that you're right, opo shot performances will be better with cm12s (they have rewritten camera driver to have camera2 support already in the first release, i read it on reddit...)
Hey guys!
If any developer could answer, i would like to know if it's possible to port Nexus 5 camera drivers to out Moto G 2014. Both phones shares the same module, the only exception is the lack of OIS on G. Moto was >very< lazy on updating the camera. G has only 720p video recording support, even the hardware supporting 1080p.
G is running on 5.0.2. My question is: is it possible to implement camera api v2 using nexus 5 blobs?
No.
Today was a day of bad news. I just read this article and apparently the Lollipop update does not bring the new camera API to the Xperia Z1/2/3 series. I could cry!
Now I was wondering, since Custom ROMs can alter so much for a device, whether they can enable the camera API even though Sony doesn't. It would be awesome if there's a developer who could manage to do this - if at all possible of course. I was planning on making a video of these potential new camera controls, but I was surprised to see that Sony just didn't allow the API to be used (I don't know the technical details so correct me if I'm wrong about the actual phrasing there).
Do you have any thoughts on this? Are you a developer, and do you have any experience with this or similar APIs? I for one have no idea if it can be made to work with the Xperia Z1/2/3's camera at all. I'd love to know! :highfive:

I'm not entirely impressed with the camera either, and can't believe we have waited this long for Sony to release the lollipop update, which not only doesn't improve the camera, but its also just 5.0.. i thought the whole delay in the lollipop update was due to the initial quirks in the 5.0 build meaning they would roll out 5.1?
At this point in the game with the competition you cannot be releasing flagships marketed as the worlds best camera which is actually very mediocre. I'm truly disappointed in Sony and will likely not be holding on to my Z3 for much longer.
As it stands, have you tried the 20mp SuperiorAuto xposed module? I have seen quite a significant improvement, if you can live with the occasional crashes...
Hi all.
I recently got a Samsung Galaxy s6 Edge. Loving the phone, but was surprised not to see raw support and shutter speed ability in the stock camera app, as last may I was convinced I had read that it was going to have an 'exciting' camera update. After some research, I discovered this had been updated and implemented in Android 5.1.1.
So does this mean even with the impending 6.0 update, that the only way to use raw or tinker with the shutter speed will be via a third party app? If so that seems a bit lame. Hoping someone out there can shed some light on this.
I do love my lg g4 but compared to the s6 edge it looks ancient, the camera capabilities are simply amazing though. That's why I don't get why Samsung hasn't made it accessible from their own app?
FYI I have manual camera and can't use raw mode, it's non exist for my phone. I can change the shutter speed though

You certain about that mate?
Story:
I broke my nexus 5 camera and replace it with LG G2 13 MP camera instead of using original 8 MP module.
Nexus 5 and G2 have same Chipset "Qualcomm MSM8974 Snapdragon 800" and similar motherboards (camera port is same).
So I had no problems to fitting everything together.
Problem:
After this my camera app crushes when I try to use main camera. (when I use front facing camera everything works).
Question:
As I understand Android uses isolation layer (HAL) to separate Android Camera API and Camera driver layers.
I need to update Camera Driver and HAL will do the rest. At this point it is using old camera driver and camera app crushes.
How can I get LG G2 camera driver and how install it to my nexus 5 ?
Android version is 6.0.1 marshmallow.
Would be so cool if it works.
Try this: little to no chance of the working.
It surely needs compatible drivers.

They may be available in cm's source.
This needs a dev's attention.
Also, the ISP may not be able to handle the camera modules output.
Nexus 5 has camera.hammerhead.so inside /lib/hw/ so at least you have to replace it with the one from LG G2 (remember to set same file permissions) to have a chance to make it work and import settings from media_profiles.xml to support bigger resolutions but there could be a lot more, and to improve compatibility flash Lollipop 5.0 on your nexus 5 and get files from LG G2 Lollipop 5.0

I'm sorry but this discussion was made long time ago, I have no more a Nexus 5 and I've forgotten almost everything of that device. I guess I can't give you any help
