DnG Raw capture on a cm13 (or perhaps an other AOSP based MM) rom - Xiaomi Mi 4C

Hi!
I'm looking for a solution for dng raw capture whilst running CM. (currently using the TS rom, but I wouldn't mind swapping for this) I tried the Oppo camera located elsewhere on XDA, but the raw module is only producing jpegs. I know that it's possible, because FreeDcam is creating perfectly working good dng files on the mi4c, the problem is that it's not focusing well on my unit (aka it gets the focus wrong 85%+ of the time) The Snapdragon camera supplied with the current TS cm13 version has raw capture, except the .raw files created cannot be opened with anything Did anyone have any success at all creating readable raw files on the mi4c?

Yeah I already tested it. It's an improvement, but it's still slow & unreliable opposed to any other camera app that I've tried. (I do understand that the app is still in alpha, the fact that the raw capture works on the mi4c is already fantastic by itself)

how about manual camera app?

Manual Camera needs camera api2 to do this, which the Mi4c does not support.

Don't know if OP has seen the reply to his other post:

According to him, Bacon camera works on Android 5.1-based MiUI. I guess you can try CM12.

I've seen it, but I REALLY don't want to downgrade from Marshmallow.

.dng is a "standard" Raw format. There is no .raw files.

i don't understand your comment. I know what dng is and i also know that there is a qualcomm .raw format that for example Snapdragon camera uses. FreedCam supposedly converts that format in app to dng.

Sorry I didn't know that...
On OPO (SD inside ) , it's a DNG file.
The definition or Raw, is "raw data".
To convert, there is adobe DNG converter. But it's just if your development software does'nt support your raws.

Nope. Unless someone ports freedcam's source code to do that. I tried many things to make snap raws work for me, but the best outcome was a rough outline of my subject with weird lines and colors.

Why isn't 60fps video supported

Almost all SD855 phone support 4K 60fps video recording. Why doesn't ZTE do it?

Its just a Software thing. Download FU24s 6.1 Gcam Mod and you can record 4K 60 on the Back and 4K 30 on the front.

Thanks for the info. 4K60fps works, although I cannot shot appropriate photo but I haven't tried setting yet.

Thanks, but it doesn't work with this. Camera does't recognize xml at all so I cannot restore it either.

You need to make a folder structure on the internal storage.
Gcam -> configs . Now copy the .xml to the configs folder. In GCAM you can now tab the black surface besides the shutter and select the config.

Other xml files are ok. Only this one is not readable. It doesnt appear in the list either when I want to load it.
If you want this is my Xml for Gcam. For me it's almost perfect

Can your Z4 do RAW DNG in the stock camera app? Can someone confirm?

I'm considering getting a Z4 as a backup....but only if I can do RAW DNG capture
According to this ....the stock Z4 camera app allows it.....can someone confirm?

Thanks.
Yes, RAW DNG mode is supported, but only if you use manual photo capturing.

Thanks for info.

Are GCAM RAW DNG files 27mp from the main cam, or are they 108mp?

I would assume the sensor takes binned photos by default, but can someone confirm with a GCAM to take some raw dng photos?
Even better.. if anyone has DNGs from GCAM for download that would be great.
thanks!

The output of the main cam is 27mp. 108mp raw stream doesn't work currently, though that might change in the future.
I'll take a random shot and post the dng in a reply.

Question Does this camera do raw dng photo at all? And what sensor?

Anyone know if raw dng photo capture is capable on this phone? And anyone know what sensor is used? The stock app does not seem to offer raw. It would be unfortunate if raw is not supported. Presumably the sensor is decent but Samsung stock software is usual not very good. 3rd party camera software rules, if raw is capable.
I tried using the pro shot app in the play store. No luck. There is a Samsung system app that crashes when trying to take a raw picture. Kind of annoying, I really would like to be able to take raw pictures because I use Lightroom to clean things up. Cleaning up a jpeg in the edit app on the camera/gallery pretty much destroys the quality by double compressing.
This is really frustrating because I'm sure the camera sensor is capable of taking raw images it's almost like Samsung is trying to prevent it at the OS level just to prevent people from having a good camera feature in a mid-range phone.
No RAW. You can download the Camera 2 API Prober to see all the feature it supports. It supports Camera 2 Limited (Full or Level 3 are better).
Yes, Samsung limited it at the system level, the processing is done by the kernel and the software only receives the result in JPG or HEIF. That's why you can't really use other camera apps to improve the results either.

The main camera (f/1.8, 0.8µm and around 1/1.7X" sensor size with PDAF and OIS) can either use a Samsung s5kgw1p sensor, commonly known as the GW1 or a Sony IMX682.
No camera2api LVL3/FULL support. Disappointing. Is there any way to port it?

Question Expert Raw 50Mpx RAW

Hello everyone,
Is it possible to tweak, bring 50MPX raw from the S23 Ultra for S22 Ultra? Or even 24Mpx would be great.
Thanks
none ?
I believe you only have two options, or 12 or 100 mpx maybe some additional app from the play store ?
I got an Update yesterday, bringing OneUI 5.1 and Expert RAW and many more features from S23 Ultra to S22 Ultra. Check for Updates maybe

The 3:4,108MP option is not available in Expert RAW.
Choose in the normal camera save raw and then 108MP and you get a jpg and dng file for each photo. Sadly Pro mode is locked at 12MP.
Yes it locks to 12Mpx in Expert Raw, so that's why I asked if someone can tweak it to make 50Mpx possible like S23Ultra, or at least 24Mpx...

"Normal" camera mode does not save any image in DNG. Only Expert RAW and Pro mode does. The phone does not save any images taken using the 3:4, 108MP mode in DNG; only JPG.
