[Camera] Is there any possibility to use RAW/Full mode of Camera2 API on M2 Aqua - Sony Xperia M2

Hi
Like the topic title indicates.
I like taking photos in my freetime - but do not always take my camera with me.
Is there any way to enhance the performance of the camera.
Actually I know it's limitation - from sharpness performance, I have no major expectations from the 2-year-old midranger.
But it would be more than great if light etc could be enhanced and I should not need to work with messy jpegs.
Thank you

Not a chance, even the on the z5,z3 ect this is down to Sony. It's possible to use the z5 camera2 apk and camera files/libs if rooted using them myself it's about as good as the m2 will get I think on Sony camera files, open camera gives good results. Here's the z5 camera2 files I'm using

Thank you
I was hoping to have a workaround without root

[Q] Camera software and camera apps

Hello everyone. I keep reading on various reviews that Xperia Z3 gives worse front camera photos than iPhone 6, which has 1.2 MP front camera and Z3 has 2 MP front camera, and that this is probably due to Sony's software and image processing. People say the same things for the rear camera - that it gives worse photos than Sony's cameras on other phones and that that is because of Sony's software.
So my question is - if I install a camera app from the market, will that app give me better front and rear camera photos? Since it's not Sony's software, but some other? Or do those camera apps just put filters on photos? What is this "camera software" that everyone blames for lower quality of photos and how can it be altered to give better photos? Do third-party camera apps give different photos or do they also use Sony's software? How can I make my photos better?
You can try by installing camera apps, but I don’t think it will help you. I have installed different camera apps, but they can’t satisfy me. Although you may give a try.

[Q] Does camera2 api affects front camera ?

well guys, i asked this Question in Ask Any Question thread...but still din't get any reply..
so i think this is not well known and this thread give some attention to it
The question is simple ( and may be silly ) but i really don't know about this....Does camera2 api affects front camera ?
does it improve quality of selfie ? like rear camera does with applications like manual camera or better camera ?
if it does plz share some pics for caparison and the camera apps you are using
The camera2 API can be used for almost any camera sensor. Each sensor has different capabilities (e.g. focus, raw), see here: https://gist.github.com/PkmX/fefff90bab3b6eb2847f
It CAN theoretically be used for the front facing camera, but it's capabilities are extremely limited and somewhat pointless.

Sweep panorama capture very low quality pics.

Hi all
My Z5 6.0.1 take panorama pic with very low quality pic(4912x1080pixel ) and blur. someone got this problem like me ?
Ya. Everybody's got the same problem. Shame on Sony for not implementing their own panorama algorithm and instead using a bulls**t 3rd party app. To remedy this, I use Google Camera's panorama mode. It works great. I don't know if there is any better app.

Sony Xperia Camera App - more options? Better camera app?

Hey there, I found a few screens on the web that show a lot more in-app-camera-apps and a lot more options for manual control. Is there any way to kind of unlock the app or something?
If not, any better camera app to download with a focus on manual control?
Best
IlluX
I think no other could do better. I got some information about XPZ camera. 。There are special algorithms in the phone to support photos

Snap-Camera is my favourite and it's on XDA
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055140
It supports all manual controls on my XZP and shoots in full 19MP. I find it's overall picture a lot better than sony's.
Give it a try.
Actually it does not. Max shutter speed is limited to 1/10s. Which isn't mind blowing. It's Sony fault. They have limited shutter speed in manual camera to 1s and in 3rd party apps to 1/10s...

Xperia XA2 - Camera2 API supported resolution

Hello,
I am thinking about purchasing XA2, and I am just curious what is your experience using third party camera apps through Camera2 API.
Can for example Open Camera access full resolution of rear camera, or is limited to some extent?
I have red that last update (50.1.A.13.83) improved Stock camera IQ significantly, can someone compare or post samples?
How about camera apps on LineageOS, could be output comparable to stock?
Any way how to get pics with low jpeg compression and low noise reduction on this Xperia?
