It should not be that hard to gain RAW since we have legacy HAL3. Its not a hardware limit just software limited. Think i will add this with my next Patch...
Done! Anything to get Sony to pull their head out of their [email protected]! I have an absolute disgust with companies limit their products on purpose via software, when the hardware is completely capable of more and some!

Oh thanks for letting me know! It should be less hard in this case. Possible that a simple build.prop edit with a added Permission does the job. I will test that once my patch is booting on .306. I think SONY has just not added a little Part to disable this Feature. I just wonder why since it was working fine for Me on AOSP with My Patch and everything else worked too like HDR+ on GCam Port by Arnova... So... Give Me a while and it will be solved
More Infos can be found here: https://source.android.com/devices/camera/versioning
This Part is important:
The supported hardware level of the device, as well as the specific Camera API2 capabilities it supports, are available as the following feature flags to allow Google Play filtering of Camera API2 camera apps.
android.hardware.camera.hardware_level.full
android.hardware.camera.capability.raw
android.hardware.camera.capability.manual_sensor
android.hardware.camera.capability.manual_post_processing
By adding these Permissions should it at least be available as Option in Apps. Additional can it be added to the build.prop. Example Lines:

XDA Rules

Hello XDA,
I'm releasing a modified version of Kik to the public. This is version 7.9 - without video playback support. I created this in January after discovering an exploit within Kik Messenger that allowed me to crash other users. This gave birth to what are known as "lag codes", which are long strings that cause instability within Kik.
If you're on kik and people post strings like:
0la.3p.snai7.eo.490.0la.3p.snai7.eo.490.0la.3p.snai7.eo.490.0la.3p.snai7.eo.490.(etc)(shout out to TL1 for his work in this area)
you will lag, ios and android are affected by this.
I have modified the parser within Kik to stop those short lag codes from causing lag.
I issued these Pikik clients to only a handful of individuals (hardcoded their usernames and disabled editing) , typically being used to crash pedophile chatrooms. Someone in this handful decided to leak the file. They attached AndroRat and distributed it under my credibility and name and I don't appreciate that.
The exploit (along with other exploits I've discovered) and suggested fixes have been emailed to Kik without reply.
This is version 7.9 without video support. You can do the same with 8.0+ as I have done but I don't want to distribute that yet. as I'd like to make a menu via smali to add additional features to Kik. (Confirmed fake camera is possible among other things) Hopefully within that time, Kik will patch the exploits I've emailed them about.
Please be respectful to one another with Pikik, it can cause issues for other users without Pikik if you so choose.
I will create additional links if necessary. Happy Easter.
May 6 update:
Added Kik 8.0apk for video playback. Added another layer of lag protection.
-gunther210
Admin note: APK has been removed due to legal complaint from Kik. Do not re-upload. https://github.com/xda/Notices/blob/master/2015/Kik-20150624.md
Warning, I would not recommend trusting. The app was leaked. Gunther stated that he would release the application to the public in the month of July.

Hey mate, that wasn't the case.
I planned to publish the technical details of the xss exploit within kik.com in July but that also leaked.
I encourage anyone to decompile this apk and look for anything malicious or suspicious if they don't trust it. It isn't my style to do that.
I understand you're just looking out for the community.
Take care mate.
Apologies and Results
Yah sorry to come out as aggressive or as if I was pointing fingers. If you are truly gunther, then you are very much aware of the presence of individuals on kik who post links which intercept IP's and I see a new exploit regarding a phishing link "video" with your name on it etc. I just want individuals to be careful. Because I made seemingly false accusations, I have done the task of running a scan on the app in a virtual machine (genymotion) running a various security scans on it. Only avast gave a security warning, but upon rescan it was gone. I have uploaded four images of four different tests. Please, proceed with caution for this application is as wonderful as you anticipate it to be. To those that have root and xposed, i would advise using I believe xprivacy to block any SMS or call log interaction which this app may present if the proof supplied below does not suffice your paranoia which I seem to be having right now.

Thx for the tests.
I'm aware of the games being played on Kik. That's not likely to go away but their lack of willingness to correct the problems leaves everyone vulnerable. At least this protects a regular user from another regular user being annoying. The xss exploit needs to be patched immediately. The amount of people getting phished is amazing. I regret sharing info about that exploit.
As I mentioned long ago to anyone on Kik who asks the status quo kik hacker question "can you get ips thru kik?" My response has always been the image handler. The way kik handles their images has been exploitable forever but I'm not yet certain to what degree. After reporting the 2 "main" exploits to Kik, I moved onto checking out my suspicions and getting some confirmation/vindication.
The entire handler for images is a wreck. It's possible to create corrupt image headers (see my pastebin) which will crash Android upon receiving said picture. It's possible to create corrupt image headers to get IP addresses via images (confirmed on iOS by Host 4/6/2015). It's possible to create corrupt image headers to crash Android for lack of associated action.
It's possible to send videos as Gallery, Gallery as Camera, Camera as "Gunther", custom icons, and most likely offsite pngs (apache log taps). It is possible to build a card that exploits these same flaws but with more parameters. The card:// handler is probably only "more secure" because less people use it.
The fact that I can send you a picture that crashes your kik is absurd and it was obvious to me this style of attack would be possible from the first glance at it.
I like Kik but it is a dangerous hangout lately.

You're fine mate.
Me Host and Link have been working together on adding several features for pikik2 and their similar releases.
For now pikik2 will be:
Based on 8.1.x
Probable:
Turn off read receipts (Host)
Turn off typing notification (Host)
AntiLagV2 (Gunther)
Fake-Camera Mod (Gunther)
AntiLagv2 secondary check (Link)
(Theme choices by download if below doesn't work)
Possible:
Turning links on/off
AntiLagv2 override by conditional regex by input
Selectable Theme by input
Selectable Image background (Link/Host)*
*This works now but needs some more tweaking.
If you or someone you know is a smali pro, please PM me.
We are hoping to build these ideas as switches from a panel within kik
Also. If you're interested in building an Xposed Module to do these things, please PM me and I will help point to where the above things are taking place.
All credits will be given

I'll ask some people about it.
First, let me/us say thanks for all the support. It helps keep us motivated to get pikik2 how we want it.
Updates:
We have pretty much narrowed down all the future feature locations.
We are still stuck in the same spot however.
We need a little advice or guidance on how to use toggles and inputs.
We can build the toggles, we can associate them in the places they need to be. But, we aren't sure how to do the following:
We need a generic or simple way to write and read toggle values into the database or preferences. We need to be able to pull these into smali. We are getting progress on Smali knowledge and may be able to import the values ourselves but we need to have a better understanding of how to implement this.
We want to create a check box, no problem. How do we add the value of check box (or inputs) into the db or prefs in the simplest way?
Next, how do we then read the value out of these?
We are reading to use <checkboxprefs but that's not working easy for us so far. We have tried literally hundreds of tests at this point.
My last test was duplicating the widget check box and associating it.
We need help. Someone. Give us a run down of the fastest way to what we need, please. As always, credits will be given.
Thanks mates,
gunther210
I will make a thread asking for more direct help when I have enough posts to do so. Anyone out there who has any advice, we will investigate.
Thanks again.
As a photographer, the most important feature for me in an upgrade now is whether or not a device supports DNG (RAW) capture with it's camera. I also firmly support the buying of used devices to keep them out of landfills (or irresponsible recycling programs) for as long as possible.
I don't need the absolute latest gear. So I'm happy to snap up gently used.
Would those in the know kindly use this thread to begin listing any device which can support the new Camera2 Module in Android 5.x? I just want to know if the device is capable of outputting DNG files.
Thanks in advance!
Never mind ya'll.
It was late when I posted this. I've been digging a bit through Google and found what I needed to know.
Carry on.
I was doing research on android's Biometric authentication .As we know back in android Marshmallow(6.x.x) we got native support for fingerprint recognition/fingerprint authentication.Not too long samsung started giving new way to unlock devices iris scanner in s8/s8+ last year,so it's there own implementation in S/W and so main problem is you cant use their implementation in any custom rom because AOSP upstream does not supports it.Now from Android Pie onwards they deprecated FingerprintManager API and bring us new BiometricPrompt API,means we can use other methods like iris,face recognition and other methods for unlock/authentication.Probably iris or face recognition might come in coming pixel.
So my main point of making this post is to discuss about the existing device with proprietary sensors like in galaxy s8/s8+/s9/9+,note8/9,mi8,poco f1 etc etc! .
Will we able to get those existing sensors work on custom roms?as far source code is concerned ,we got whole device code of POCO f1(i am not sure about IR face reco).
one thing i want mention:-i remember galaxy s5 released with android 4.4.x,which clearly dont have FingerPrintManager Api,but some smart dev xda managed to get that sensor working on android M based custom ROM .Sooooo maybe we will able to get our,s face IR working in next iteration of android pie.
I am learning about the android"s arch(also learning how to develop custom roms from scratch)
So devs on xda who have knowledge ,must share .i am always ready to learn
topics i refer for case study:-
https://source.android.com/security/biometric/

Correction: we do not have whole device code. Nobody ever gets whole device code.
We have kernel source, but it is missing something. Mostly audio and wifi stacks. Wifi is easy to fix thanks to CAF, but audio is more difficult.
Making custom ROM's takes time because it is one big experimental process to get AOSP to work with existing blobs (pre-built binaries from vendor for hardware access) because we don't have the source code.
For IR Face recognition, there would have to be a driver in kernel for the camera, definitely. But that doesn't make it a given that custom ROMs can use it. It may also be missing in kernel sources, like wifi and audio is missing.
Ideally, when Poco gets Pie official update, yes - it will use the biometrics API, meaning that custom ROM's should be able to interface with stock blobs to also support it - this is achieved in much the same way as experimenting to get all the other hardware working. But it's impossible to know for sure until actual official Pie comes.
Most of this stuff relies on CAF, probably. If the kernel driver for the IR camera is found, or included in kernel source (don't know if it is but my guess is no), then they will have something to work on.
I think it's a bit early to speculate on such things now, since there is no public announcement from the community of any AOSP release based on Oreo yet, even.

i was wandering around and testing some things with this device.
Yes! That ir receiver(sensor) IS behaving as camera (which is not a color sensor only takes IR as input)
For testing i used miui hidden settings app
Go to hardware test(CIT)>52.ir camera.
And voila! You can see output on screen what this sensor sees
NOTE:- you can open this CIT settings if you tap kernel version number times, but you won't get that "ir camera" option, soooo you have to install that app
Btw anyone working or creating device tree for this device?
Well yea xiaomi is notorious for not giving up whole source, that's kinda bytuh thing

Did you perhaps had some time to look in to this ?
If they used this api in the latest pie beta ?
i read something om miui forums that they used the biometrics API in miui 10 pie versions from other phones.
i'm lacking the knowledge to look in to this myself :/

I'm not sure where to look, to be honest. This seems more like a back-end thing that makes development easier, rather than adding new features? At least that's what I remember.
Also note that I have no interest in custom ROM's personally; I'm modding stock MIUI instead.

Thread Cleaned of Off Topic Posts.
Please elaborate more on your request. Currently AR Emoji is not available under camera options and OP does not really plan to implement it in the near future. You can use third party camera apps if you need something like that. I hope this thread will have some meaningful discussion from here on.
Feel free to get in touch if you have any concerns.
Im talking about porting samsung camera to other devices. Like google camera. Developer made it happen.
So here is the good news guys Xiaomi has now realised that google has much more developer resources to built better camra apps and alogrithem and that is why it is being said they are offically adding Hal3 and API2 supports from8.11.8 this rom is in close beta now but that means in future updates we can see native gcam support...
Which in other term means just installing or side loading the gcam app will be sufficient for gcam to work...
Here is the source of the news
https://www.gizmochina.com/2018/11/...om-opens-doors-for-google-camera-app-support/
Good to know.
Please. Carefully read the news before posting such thread.
"The MIUI 10 update has extended support for HAL3/Camera2API which is required by Google Camera app to run on any Android device."
Is not :
"We will support native gcam app"
But more like :
"Porting gcam will be simpler"
Good information!!! but before posting some thread this should be on the XIOAMI POCO F1 GUIDES , NEWS , DISCUSSION. Thanks

"The MIUI 10 update has extended support for HAL3/Camera2API which is required by Google Camera app to run on any Android device."
Is not :
"We will support native gcam app"
But more like :
"Porting gcam will be simpler"

whats the difference? you should read it with open eyes I guess.
Noob question: with this, will Gcam be able to make use of the second camera? Or simply Gcam isn't made with this purpose and only use the main camera (as pixel phones only have one)?
Poco Always had camera api2 enabled, no big news for us
Now we 'only' need 60fps video recording....

It means you can't install official gcam from playstore. If you install the official version, it won't work. But it will be easier for developer to make it work for Poco.
If it's really natively supported, then some features will be disabled. Do you really think google will give their cam tech freely? They want you to buy their phones. While the ported version will have the features enabled.
For poco it was available out of the box , they enabled cam2api for all xiaomi devices now :good: ✌
