So after reading about the Sony IMX214 Exmor RS sensor that is in the nexus 6, I find that Sony says its capable of 1080p at 60fps just as it is on the one+one. Why isn't this listed under the nexus 6 specs? Maybe its software related or google is going to roll out updated specs with a google camera update? What do you guys think?

Glad I found this thread. Camera sensor is by the look of it the same as the Mi4 and one plus one. Not sure if either had great camera reviews tbh but samples so far look promising but will have to wait.
I'm sure they were probably just aiming to mention the MAX recording capability (which is generally what people are more interested in). I'm pretty sure if the camera can record 4K resolution video at 30hz, it can more than likely handle 1080p at 60.
For reference, there's a general N6 camera discussion thread here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/camera-discussion-t2906907
Please continue the discussion in the dedicated discussion thread for Nexus 6 Camera here. Thanks

Hey, I was wondering if any of you tried to grab pictures in raw format and could confirm whether it supports it or not.
So far it seems that all apps that use the new API added support for it only as a paid feature, meaning I can't know beforehand if the chipset is compatible with it...
Hi, Camera FV-5 Lite states my Moto X 2013 (on 5.1) is not compatible
http://www.camerafv5.com/support.php
It seems that only the nexus 5 and nexus 6 are supported. Since the support of the raw output is optional in Android no manufacturer implemented that for phones which were released prior 5.1. Seems that they want to sell they new phone with a "huge improvement of the camera for professional usage" or something like that....
Is it possible for anyone to grab the camera from the 2015 moto x I like that manual exposure feature
I'd love to have that camera app on the nexus 6, that's the only thing I miss from the moto x
There will be a port soon enough. Read on another thread that someone is working on it.
In the meantime, Get Proshot off Playstore. It has all the features like manual exposure. As well as full 4k recording w/ manual focus as well. It eliminates the constant refocus crap that has plagued our device.

Thanks I'm going to try it now
I've look at the L camera project and Nexus 5 could take videos at 120Fps....
It's a great pity why Nexus 6 could not get focus?
does someone knows how should I do if I want to use my n6 to take slow motion?
Please...

the n6 does not have the ability to do slo-mo vids.. but, there are apps that will do it on the nexus 6, but the quality is horrible.
As you guys know, camera performance on the Moto X4, put bluntly, has been less than stellar. Also of note: the Google Camera app (Auto HDR+) has been ported to multiple other Android devices, and it seems as though any device able to utilize the Camera2 API with a Hexagon DSP and Spectra ISP is compatible with the ported camera app. As of a few days ago, the Modded Google Camera ported apk was found to work with the Moto X4, as seen on Reddit in the links below:
https://www.reddit.com/r/ProjectFi/...orted_hdr_pixel_camera_apk_works_for_moto_x4/
https://www.reddit.com/r/MotoX4/comments/77vn3w/psa_google_camera_port_hdr_from_pixel_works_on_x4/
As discussed already, the performance of the Moto X4's camera with the port is much better all round (especially low-light photography) than it is with Motorola's own camera app, which is slow and lacks good processing. Now, listed on some of the posts of the Reddit links above (much more information on the matter there) are links to all of the different apks (some fully functioning, some as test versions, some that are manual and configurable) of the Ported Google Camera app; credits to developers B-S-G and Ivanich for making this possible. Mind you, the most stable apk (Ivanich v1.4 Full PXL2) is configured for the OnePlus 3 most natively, which doesn't seem to support as many newer features of the Google Camera app as the Moto X4 does. That said, if a more stable apk of the ported Google Camera app can be configured to best go along with the hardware of the Moto X4's camera (as has been done with the Xiaomi Mi A1), then for those who aren't concerned about using the secondary camera, there will be a viable option for much improved photography on the Moto X4 as well, that takes advantage of the hardware present more effectively. Again, much more detailed explanation of these concepts on Reddit, in the links provided above. I wanted to bring attention to this for those who are interested over here.
Only deficiency of the apk...
You have the option to delete photos while HDR+ is still processing them. If you do, it seems to get stuck in the notification bar. I don't know if this impacts anything, but just a note.
Great find! Mine comes in tomorrow, and I can't wait to try this out!
I wonder: is anybody working on configuring an apk better suited for the Moto X4's camera hardware, and/or is anyone willing to? As of right now, these are the config options that work most effectively on the Moto X4's hardware (as posted in the r/projectfi [1st] Reddit link):
Phone Model - Nexus 6P. All work here, but the 6P option seems to be the best in low light.
Config camera - Pixel 2017 Zsl HDR #1 and #2 options can crash the app (if you crash it, clear data/cache). All the others seem to work. ZSL is for HDR Auto mode. Pixel 2016 Zsl HDR is most optimal.
Buffers Size - 15 (optimal)
Note: this is the configurable mod below:

When you do try it out, if you can compare picture/video quality to the stock Motorola app, that'd be great, and something I suggest you do anyway to see how you feel about it.
Crashes
Anyone else seeing frequent crashes?
Update: These settings at least seem to keep my moto x4 from crashing for now. I usually can make them happen with some settings by force closing the camera app then starting it again.
Model - 6P
Config camera - Pixel 2017 Hardware Zsl (DR Dogfood)
Buffers size - 15 optimal
Total imagereader image coung - 14 (AllPixel+AllExp)
hdr+ burst frame count - 8 (nexus 6)
Calculation hdr+ image count - Pixel, PixelXL

Those settings work well also, and don't have problems with crashing either.
Can someone please post some comparison shots with motocam vs gcam ? thanks

That G5 camera crashes instantly when you open it. I'm not sure the G5 camera is the same one we have?

No it's not the same , what you tried was probably gcam4.4 based, the apk i gave link to is based on gcam 4.2 arm version. anyway thanks for trying.
Update: the new Arnova8G2 manual gcam apk works for this device as well. From what I've been told, it provides a similar image quality with better color processing than other gcam ports, and better video quality. This is MUCH better performing in most every aspect that Motorola's stock app. It can be found in the first Reddit link in the original post in this thread (I'm the OP), or directly from here: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/. The Arnova8G2 manual mod is based off of a newer version of Gcam, that being 5.1.014 I believe, as opposed to 4.2.x, as the BSG and Ivanich mods are based off of.

So far, how do you feel about the image and video quality with the updated version of this app? Also, how do you feel it stacks up against other devices that you've worked with in the past?
Just tried the newly released v9.1 version. Very impressive with low light indoors. Pictures came out looking like the room was well lit, when it was in fact dimly lit. Also, switching to 60fps on video provides a much brighter/clearer image.

I meant to try it out, but I haven't had the time. I was using the older version of the Gcam to record video at a wedding this past weekend: VERY dark lit dance floor with strobe/lights moving all around, and fast movement. Even at the brightest setting, it was still too dark to see almost anything. I know this is a worst case video scenario, but if the new apk improves video low-light, that would be great!

The Arnova8G2 manual apk should improve the dark image of video in 30FPS, as seen with other mods.

Need some help here, if you own Android one edition. can you share System/vendor/lib and lib64 folder ? you don't need root for it just copy those folder to internal storage and zip it. you can use free version of solid explorer for it. thanks.
i want to see if there's any difference between retail and android one edition regarding image post processing etc.

Nope, don't own one yet. There is no difference in image processing between the two, as they both run the same versions of Motorola's camera software and have the same hardware in tow as well; there'd be no reason for the app to process images differently on the regular version than on the Android One version. They both have poorly optimized camera software in common.
