I dont know what you mean by port it, but I can attach the APK from my phone.

RAW support is not enabled through the Camera apk, just the system level software.
Update to 5.1.1 or wait for root.

Thanks man! Didn't work but at least I tried.

Not sure what your skill level is but the current apk might (from my experience it most likely does) have the ability for RAW pictures already. You could always decompile it in .smali files and have a look around. I'll give it a look when I root mine, not sure when that will be though.
I already planned on increasing the bit rates, audio sampling and bit rates, jpeg compression, and a couple other things once I root mine.

[REQ] - Deodexed Nexus S Camera.apk

This version of the camera is reported to have a "macro" feature and from pictures I've seen, I'm digging the UI. I've got a SGS TMO Vibrant and wanted to try and push the deodexed camera.apk from the Nexus S GB build to my phone to see if my camera hardware is capable of the "macro" feature.
EDIT:
For those unfamiliar with what "Macro" mode is / means...

If you figure it out let us know I have a vibrant
Same here man, would love to use the nexus s camera apk..
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Haven't heard anything yet. I am mostly clueless about how to deodex an APK but that can be learned given time. Haven't looked into it enough. I just wonder if the camera.apk is relatively standalone or also has library / framework dependencies that will be need to deodexed as well. Hopefully nothing about the camera is tied to Gingerbread / the new GB SDK API level. If that's the case, it's totally out of my league for now.
With the fast progress being made on getting GB to run on the SGS family of phones though, I'm going to wait a bit to see if a flashable, bootable GB becomes available that includes the Camera. If that's the case, having the camera for Froyo might become a secondary concern.
Would any Nexus S users care to comment on how well the "Macro" feature of the camera works? I don't expect it to be DSLR quality but how does it compare?
I have the Nexus S I guess i dont know what you mean by the macro feature...
I can pull the apk for you if that helps

Here's what I meant by Macro mode...
http://www.talkandroid.com/23979-nexus-s-camera-includes-macro-focus-mode/
Yes, having the APK posted here might be useful. I was assuming it wouldn't be a standalone package but I'll try it if posted. It might be easier than I thought.
huh.. didn't notice that option before...
Here's the apk
For those interested...
Installation of the attached APK file throws a parsing error during installation. Upon inspecting the logcat, I see that reason for this is: "Requires newer sdk version #9 (current version is #8)". For those unaware, #8=2.2 Froyo and #9 = 2.3 Gingerbread. The APK will likely need to be modified before it can even have a chance at installing / running on anything pre-Gingerbread.
I decompiled the APK. Then I opened up AndroidManifest.xml and changed the "9" to "8" in the 2 places that I found it listed. However, I don't know how to recompile it so I can place it back in the APK. Do I have to recompile the whole APK or is there a way to just do this one file / replace it in the already compiled APK? Signing it is optional, right?

Apps for cam

Hello there,
I'm pretty new to all this and the P880 is my first Android device.
Does anyone here know if there is an app that allows you to take photos like the normal photo app but saves the raw data from the image sensor? I had such an app for my previous device, the Nokia N900 and really like to play around with raw images ...
many thanks in advance

I don't think this is possible. Just did a quick google:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4514862/android-impossible-to-obtain-raw-image-data-from-camera
Maybe you can ask the the CyanogenMod team if it's possible at all and somebody is interested to look into this... However it would need root then.

Camera 2.0 ported

Here it is camera 2.0 ported for 5.0.2... This took a lot of work, months of work to figure this out. Theoretically this should work on any 20.7 megapixel Xperia device running 5.0.2... Enjoy it... My Rom Is coming people... I've been very busy with school.

I'm using my phone... And are you sure this has been available for 5.0.2? I know it's been available for 5.1.1 Lollipop for some time now...Because I'm pretty sure as of a month ago (that's around the last time I searched this topic) it wasn't working on 5.0.2 because people were getting Force Close errors on all the Camera 2.0 ports.. A couple of the devs even said 5.0.2 was impossible with this... but if you know of a recent 5.0.2 port that I don't know about, let me know.. It's not that I doubt you, I'd just like to see it for myself since I sunk a lot of time into getting this to work for our Lollipop version...Thanks!

The Z3v is different from the rest of the Xperia line, and I've tried the port that was given out on the cross device board and it really does no one any good when you can't even open the camera anymore.

telling a devloper to use the search button... you should know what your talking about before you post.
This is the only way to get camera 2.0 on the z3v. Or use the other ports and watch your camera not work anymore and force close.

Where can I find a list of improvements that will be had specifically to the z3V over the original camera software?
Also, can you please tell us what is different than the other downloadable installation file that's floating around here? They have the same timestamp and are the same size. I'm not doubting, just trying to understand.

There are no list of improvements specific to our device model, this is just the updated Sony camera app(s) ported from the Z5 to work on our devices. I wasn't aware there was another flashable camera port for the Z3v floating around here... Please link me to it. I assure you, you have nothing to risk by flashing this and that I am the original developer of this port... No one else by my knowledge should be circulating this file around for the Z3V or 5.0.2 in general. I'm making a flashable zip as we speak to revert back to the orginal camera should you not like the Camera 2.0's interface... I'm also working on an updated version of this port that will provide some camera improvements. When I'm done with both zips they will be posted in the OP along with some cleanup and screenshots. Thank you for your questions, it's great to ask questions... that's how we learn.. And its always good to know as much as possible before flashing anything to our phones. Should you have any more questions feel free to ask and I hope you enjoy the MOD.
Nope, not the same. When Mega DLs I end up with two of everything. Previous download zips were moved to my card and is the z5 2.0 at 10.5mb.
Will try this later and look for differences.

Would you mind linking me to this other zip you're referring to? Thank you ��
EDIT: Nevermind I can tell by the size of the file you must be referring to one of the other Camera 2.0 ports here on XDA. You can try flashing those at your own risk if you'd like, but I'd kindly like to warn you ahead of time, those do not work on Lollipop 5.0.2... The reason my port is larger in file size is because the framework ported from 5.1.1 as well as permission files to run Camera 2.0 are included. It is worth noting however, you can flash any other Camera 2.0 port AFTER flashing mine and they'll work since mine installs the correct framework and permissions that are necessary.
Zach,
Thanks for putting this together. I've installed it on rooted 5.02 and it's running well. Note that a couple boots were required after TWRP install and the user will get an overheat if trying to use the camera immediately but after the phone acclimates it is just fine.
I had downloaded the z5 zip not understanding that the z3V was the only one not on the list. I actually almost installed it until I read that it could brick the phone.
The UI seems a bit fiddly but I guess each has it's learning curve. I took random dim indoor shots, including some macros, before and after in the sensors native 4:3 aspect ratio at 20.7MP usingthe original and your ported 2.0, but using Camera FV-5. I didn't tripod the phone or run any real range, just point & shoot of 28 shots all the same objects from the same spot.
So far I have not noticed a significant difference and when the photos are zoomed in on they show the same muddled look from what appears to be the same overcorrective software (I'm sure Sony didn't change that). I've read that the z5 camera hardware is identical to the z3V.
I'll put her on a tripod this weekend and do some real testing.
The original camera zip will make flipping back and forth easier for comparison testing.
Thanks for making this happen!
Thank you so very much for your time and effort to get this working for our device
So how many of us have actually installed this ROM? Is it worth ditching the setup we have right now? I mean I don't really know how this could provide better performance if Sony hasn't updated any soft for our phones camera. I could understand manual modes might provide greater ability to change fine settings, but point and shoot quality and overall use ability is was I am concerned about.
First off, it's not a ROM, it's technically just a mod. Secondly, Sony supposedly did update the software, and because the camera hardware in our z3V phones are identical to those of the z5 which was released with this updated software, it will do the same thing and be perfectly installable without having to port it. -And it is, on nearly every single z model but ours because the z3V is a Verizon Sony step child.
The UI is MOSTLY what's new and improved, but lower light shots do seem to be rendered better by the software. The ISO limits haven't changed and I doubt that Sony did something to alter their interpolation software, but something does seem different.
Until I can easily switch back and forth without having to flash to an entire restore that's 12Gb (in other words, simply flash back to the original camera as a zip), I'm not going to bother with tripod testing. Once I can do that, I will take shots with a tripod in varying light using the old and new camera zips and examine the shots and exif data. It could simply be that in manual mode the software defaults to better settings. I'm guessing that it's the default values values in lower light situations that have been changed, if anything.
At first I didn't like the user interface just because I wasn't used to it. But now I find I'm actually using it more than I used the old one (I normally use FV-5). It is a one handed, portrait friendly UI.
I highly recommend this mod. Simply make a backup and install it. You can always revert back to the old one via your backup or you could wait for zachariahpope to release the original as an installable zip.

I guess it wouldn't make sense for RAW only on a smartphone. Are you able to save the jpg with filters applied i.e. neutral/standard/vivid/monochrome? Just wondering how close they made the camera options to a proper Leica.

Cool, they went part of the way there then! The Leica M has the option so save RAW and Monochrome jpg. A lot of photographers like that option as when you are "chimping" a photo you just took, you are only really checking for proper exposure and when you import both into the likes of Adobe Lightroom it can give you a good indication as to which images would be a candidate for full monochrome conversion from the RAW file. I'm happy they've given a nod to what the Leica M does, but I doubt many smartphone photographers would save just RAW and monochrome jpg!

Yes I think very few users would bother saving RAW. but of those who do.. they'll likely find the photo quality lacking to begin with. Such a pity..

The problem with the cam is it seems to always need input on what to focus on in Auto mode. Lack of OIS also means blur happens quite often in snapshots
I've not tried RAW / Pro mode properly just yet. It's something else entirely when you're adjusting every little thing yourself.. I'm sure that will yield better results

Sorry for bringing an year old thread, but I can`t find a way to save a picture, taken with the wide aperture option in raw format. It seems a some sort of limitation- when choose the option, the "pro" mode disables and on the right slide RAW is nowhere to be found.. Which is silly- the Wide aperture option is one of the most "pro" things, that can exist.

It is very hard to explain RAW images. A professional photographer will be able to explain better.
In short, a RAW image is somewhat like the negatives of old. It contains the exact data that the sensor captures. It will look bland if you look at it before processing. It is very large in size and needs further processing before being converted to JPEG or PNG. Although every camera (including professional ones) contain an image processor in it, professional photographers prefer to shoot in RAW and use Adobe Lightroom to do the processing on a computer to get the final JPEG or PNG image. Obviously, an Adobe product running on a computer is way more powerful than an image processor in a camera or a phone. Therefore all professional cameras have RAW shooting ability.
Since Marshmallow, Google introduced Camera2 API that allows you to shoot RAW images for manual processing. However, many manufacturers disable the feature.
Not sure about those other phones you mention having the ability to shot RAW. Maybe ask around in related forums. Be careful though, some cameras simply do not have the sensor to shoot RAW (Sony phones for example) even after rooting and editing the build.prop .Their image processor is hard linked to the sensor and the RAW data simply does not leave the camera unit in order to be captured by Camera2 API.

WOW. That was quick. I suppose posting just for saying thanks is not allowed, but great job :good:.
I do have a question though, not sure where to ask. My unit has an option to unlock bootloader in developer options. I have never visited moto bootloader unlock website. Does this mean they are allowing rooting without voiding the warranty or did I receive a second-hand unit?
Edit: NVM it is still locked. That is a dummy option until you get the unlock code. Wish there was a way to root this phone without bootloader unlocking like the Xperia Z2.

My device haven’t arrived yet but I have last years G4+ I also have the same option on it. It does not mean you have a void warranty or that you got a second hand phone. You have to check it along with usb debugging and stuff to actually unlock the bootloader. Extra precautions because unlocking the bootloader erases all your data from the phone and void your warranty(so they say).

I just found out that G5S+ has camera2 API enabled by default. I installed camera FV-5 on my Moto G5S+ and it allows shooting RAW images. The RAW images are beautiful in details, better than my Sony Xperia Z2's camera.
The stock camera does some artificial edge enhancement stuff which makes the images look sharp but less detailed. The RAW images retain both the sharpness and details, although as always with RAW images, they are not great on colour, which you can always process in Lightroom.
Therefore I recommend anyone looking for a great camera phone to buy Moto G5s+. Be warned though, its low light abilities are not great due to a higher aperture. Moto G5+ is the best in that regard.

I am not really a proper photographer, just happen to have several photographer friends
I need to create a video tutorial. That is the only way to teach a novice without getting into all the terminology confusion and difficulty trying to describe effects like bokeh that are better shown than described. However, I will ask my friends whether such a video is already available on the internet first.
