Upon, doing a bit of research, the imaging sensor on the Flex2 looks to be an older Sony IMX-135, this camera is in use on the Galaxy S4 and Im seeing varying degrees of certainty on whether or not the Camera2 API will fully work on the GS4. anybody with a flex2 mind running the manual camera compatibility test?
Flex 2 does not support the new camera API stuffs. Thanks to @wolfgart for confirming.

Very bad to hear that LG don't support row mode as you have discovered.
LG : if you are reading here, check your lags on the UI.
I want to say also that is not acceptable to have lags on this UI ( i have F510K variant ) we have DDR4 modules !!!!

I don't think so.
Actually I have built some application with camera2.0 api base on TestingCamera2 to capture SENSOR_RAW data.
what is the manual camera compatibility test? does it mean CTS for camera2.0?

It is an app on the play store.
Contrary to what wolfgart and autoprime say, running the compatibility test checks as 100% compatible with camera2 api. I have not downloaded yet, because my phone is one of the lemons with weird pink squares all over my screen. Swapping in Monday.
I can also confirm the lg g flex 2 is showing as camera2 api compatible...
Ive got the Unlocked Euro version.
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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/themes-apps/snapdragon-camera-t3213605
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
Can someody do this? The google camera v4.4 has 2 problems with our device: It requires arm64, yet there are versions for arm in xda, but then another problem appears.. it requires camera2 api.
Can someone port this to our device? Like the moto camera that requires camera2 api was ported for us.
I agree, yes please! If possible. I'm running pixel experience. Maybe the latest version with portrait mode instead?
Google camera got only ported to Snapdragon 820/821 and 835 . I am very sceptical that somebody would actually do this, I better wish that video recording could be fixed in Oreo ROMS...

It's semi working on the G5 plus but only using 64bit ROM
Hello everyone,
This is a work in progress thread meant to gather info about how to add hotword detection support while the screen is off and the processor is in deep sleep. Ideally, this will work just like the Pixel devices by Google, so you'll be able to get to the assistant by saying "Ok Google" without turning on your device.
Let's start off with the first big question: Is the hardware that's required to do this in our devices?
Well, not every device. I have only looked into Qualcomm SoCs, but this is also possible with some Exynos processors through S Voice.
Qualcomm first added support for Hotword detection with the Snapdragon 800. The only device prior to that processor that had support for Hotwords was the first gen Moto X, which had its own Custom chip separate from the processor. However, my research indicates that all devices after the Snapdragon 800's launch use the processor's DSP for this job.
You can view the announcement of this feature for the Snapdragon 800 at this link:
https://www.qualcomm.com/news/onq/2...akes-mobile-world-snapdragon-voice-activation
In the blog post, the feature is mentioned as Qualcomm Voice Activation. I also found out that this was eventually also backported to the Snapdragon 600. However, looking elsewhere online reveals that this has other names as well, as it is part of Qualcomm Fluent PRO and All-Ways Aware. There are marketing videos for both online, and they all work with the Hey Snapdragon hotword. However, it seems that all of these features are part of the Hexagon DSP on the actual SoC and that they are compatible with v5 and up. So that means that technically all processors in the 600, 700 (in the future) and 800 line should be able to do this.
As far as I'm aware, the only device that uses the Hey Snapdragon wakeup command is the OnePlus One, which has a Snapdragon 801. On its default firmware, CyanogenMod 11S, you could go into the device's settings and train the device by saying Hey Snapdragon three times. Then, you could select the activity that would run every time you said it.
Someone on XDA updated this feature for newer firmware versions and looking at the flashable zip files it has one application file, a modified mediaserver, a modified audio library for its processor and some lib files for voice detection. I haven't attempted to Port this feature for any other device, but I doubt that it would work, even on devices with the same SoC.
I have also looked at Qualcomm's forums and found this thread which has a reply with links that could probably help us out here:
https://developer.qualcomm.com/foru...timedia-optimization-hexagon-sdk/speech/28153
This is source code from the Google Pixel and AOSP which might be the solution to making this work. I am not familiar with C and AOSP's code, so if someone with more experience could check this out, that would be great!
Lastly, I want to mention that I have a couple of devices that could help with testing including my daily driver Xiaomi Mi 5 (Snapdragon 820), a now retired LG G2 (Snapdragon 800) and a Galaxy S7 Exynos which should be able to use S Voice for this but I have not tested it yet. My friend @David_#27 also has a Redmi Note 4X (Snapdragon 625) and I could probably also borrow a Redmi 4X (Snapdragon 435) if we ever need it for testing.
Hopefully we can get some more info on this topic from people that have looked into this more than I have. Please reply to this topic with any info you may have, any help is very much appreciated! Making this work eventually on our devices would be incredible!
Thank you
XDA Labs bugged out and posted the thread twice. Could one of the two please be deleted or closed by the mods? Thanks.
Ok... Alternative F4??

Hi, I am just not getting it. Spent money on two phones to see if I can unlock and root them, and it is not my forte! Don't even know where to start because there is just too much information out there when I search online.
Is there anywhere I can just buy a rooted device, or pay someone to do it. Since every search on the Internet leads back to this site I thought I should ask it here. If I am in wrong section please let me know.
Thank you
As you want to root your phone, I'm assuming you know how a phone works and how to differentiate models and variants!
You can't buy an already rooted phone, as none come with it. If you want a phone that is easy to root but still good for a daily driver, you have to know the following criteria:
- Very popular brand (Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo)
- Has to have a Snapdragon processor (mediatek phones are harder to root)
- The specific device should be popular on XDA (examples include Redmi Note 8 Pro, Poco X3 Pro, most samsung S devices that have Snapdragon processors)
- Samsung S (s22, s20, s8, etc) only have Snapdragon CPUs in countries like the USA and I think China

yeah, but if you buy a oneplus don't get anything above the 8 lineup as they just get worse from there
and if you get a pixel 6 series i can't guarantee anything about that tensor chip being even bootloader unlockable

Search for "rooted android phone" on Ebay. Do your research and make sure you know what your are buying, though. Also check the vendor ratings of the seller.

recipy for DISASTER. don't buy a pre rooted phone, who knows what keyloggers and spyware can be put alongside that root? i wouldn't risk it at all, in fact i wouldn't buy any daily driver thing from ebay outside of like a phone case
Thank you for the replies. I will keep reading and researching. I bought a Motorola G Stylus (2021) just now, and gave up on the Samsung s10e. So far I have been able to get adb and fastboot working. Reading on XDA to figure the rest out.
Very popular brands (Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo, Huawei, etc) tend to lock down their devices entirely. one can't just unlock bootloader from fastboot. beware of random guides, they often outdated or too broad.
before buying a device
- get confirmation that bootloader actually is unlockable (with regards to android version/carrier/branding etc)
- check community development is active (TWRP available? custom ROMs?)
you can do so by reading the proper section to device model on xda-developers
(if you can't find it, don't buy it)

about every phone is on xda, just that many don't have populated Roms and Kernels sections (ie: huaweis) so make sure it has 7-10.000 messages at least if you want a really good starting point
Nobody should buy an already rooted phone.
You should ever re-flash the full stock, format data and then, re-root the phone by YOURSELF.

Hi, do you have any specific model you can suggest? Considering the following:
I want to buy an android that I can root for sure, no matter how old it is as long as it runs Android 6 at least, I need it to be as cheap as possible, and I want to buy it in USA, compatible with T-Mobile carrier which is the one I use
I bought this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B3F9BRF9 and it was compatible with TMobile but there's no TWRP or info on how to root it, so I'm seeking for some old phone that actually works and is rooteable. I want to run some experiments but I need root access.
Thanks in advance!
Edit: I found several Samsung S7 on Ebay that could work, do you think it's a good match for rooting?

download magisk apk
click install magisk
select the ap file
wait
then there will be patched ap file
move it to the pc
flash it with odin
after flash install magisk
your phone now rooted
There are channels to buy pre-rooted phones, but I assume that we are not supposed to publish these things on XDA.
