This may be an inappropriate place to start this thread but I assumed it to apply to development nonetheless so I understand if it must be relocated.
That being said, about the ONE feature the Nexus 6 lacks that made me envy the latest LG, Samsung, or Apple phone is the ability to record in slow motion at a minimum of 120 FPS at 720p. I've looked into this briefly and it appears that the sensor hardware of the Nexus 6 could easily achieve 120 FPS recording if there were software to allow it. I've also read (but NOT verified) that Android 5.0 includes new camera API's specifically for slow motion recording but it isn't enabled in stock Lollipop on the Nexus 6.
I'm new completely to developing for Android and I'm a novice developer in general at that, however, I really want to enable this awesome feature on our otherwise awesome and superior phones both for myself and for the community that's done so much for me over the years.
Before I venture on understanding and hopefully finding a solution to this, is there any more immediate progress or advice anyone else has made on this particular issue or any explanation of the alleged slow motion camera API's in 5.0?
I'm sure it's coming down the road....
A lot of good things ahead my friend, patience is the key
This alone has me interested in learning how to modify apk's. Lots left to learn, can't seem to do anything with any files i've extracted from the Google Camera APK. They're
all tied up in containers I am unable to make use of without my linux machine.

Hello,
The reason I've moved this thread over to the Q&A section is because as of right now it doesn't contain any real developer-related information. (no offense intended) Please have a look at this thread to see what kind of threads should belong in the developer section.
Good luck developing!

I've been following that recently as well. There seems to be a whole lot already there as a ground work for slow motion recording. It's almost like Motorola intended to originally include it, like with the fingerprint sensor libraries that were removed after they decided not to include biometric hardware... Except, I'm confident now that the sensor in our Nexus 6 can handle 120FPS if instructed to.
Today I got HTC M9 Camera & Gallery app is working fine in my Nexus 6..
May be some users like me not satisfied with the default Google Camera app. That's why decided to share this info..
Enjoy..
Watch this video by Mike Barrett..

Download info.
Simply install as normal apk..
**Camera: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/htc-corporation/camera-htc-corporation/
**Gallery: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/htc-corporation/gallery-htc-corporation/
This works better because it has all the lib files and everything for extra functionality. (I removed the link due to the powers that be, but google search HTC m9 camera port and you will find it.)
At the bottom of the comments someone provided a full patch for 4k video.
Does it have an HDR+ option?

@manup456 and @Ryjabo :
I actually use the zip file as well, but if I was you I should remove the links because that is the Jishnu Sur port and every kind of material, links etc coming from this guy is forbidden here in xda.
I say this just to let you avoid a warn by a moderator.

I get what your saying and thanks for the heads up, but its not like XDA post a list of people who are banned from XDA so why would they warn me? They keep track of who is banned not me.
But I will remove the link since XDA has changed so much and I don't want issues.
Awesome find..

If you are using lean kernel, there is an option available in lkconfig.
Otherwise, you would need to use the app SElinux Changer.
It was pulled from Google Play, but can be downloaded here on XDA:

Is it better than Camera FV-5?
there is any diference between zip file and apk files?

Could also use a terminal emulator app and run "su 0 setenforce 0" without the quotes. For me, the SELinux app here on XDA was not persistent. I would be switched back to enforcing after a reboot. The terminal way persists through reboots.
Of this gets HDR mode then adios 2012 Google camera

More features awaited!
Well, I've been using the HTC One M9 Camera App for about 4-5 days as my primary camera app and I'm quite happy. For instance, there are some awesome modes in it like Brokeh, Split Camera etc. But, Google Camera has better panorama. The HDR mode is needed as I compared the photos on my laptop... Google ones were better even when HDR+ mode wasn't even on! Having said that, HTC One M9 Camera is a beautiful addition to our phones as the Google Camera is still 2012 in my opinion!
Features awaited(in terms of importance):
1. HDR (most important)
2. Slow motion video
3. Faster focusing
Please hit the THANK YOU button if you think my review helped you. I will continue to post further info on this.
This is way better than the stock camera. The focus issue on the stock camera made me hate my camera,now with this I'm liking it. Thank you

Don't Pray For An Easy Life, Pray For The Strength To Endure A Difficult One.
Keeping the sensor parameters aside, can we expect an open-source take on the post-processing for smartphone cameras? This code can be modified as needed and can be incorporated into custom roms. Thus eliminating the reliance on the OEMs for the updates.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk
I'm no camera expert, but, doesn't post processing depend on a individual camera module? I think all custom rom developers can contribute together on a particular camera module for the phone (like, for oneplus 3, all custom rom developers for oneplus3 can contribute together on the camera module, which then, they can integrate into their individual roms, as you are suggesting!). But, I've noticed that custom rom developers are less interested in camera of the phones (argument being, if you need professional quality photographs, buy a DSLR, which doesn't make sense to me.) I hope it changes.
Yes you are right. Devs should understand that, we don't expect DSLR level photos but atleast we can expect the quality to be on par with the stock factory rom. That way, migrating to a custom rom wouldn't be that much of a pain.

We have seen OP's over aggressive approach to noise reduction leading to very soft images resulting in a loss of details. If devs could tune down the noise reduction a bit, might give better results.

Hello,
I created a thread where I uploaded some pictures (4 sets). I took them side-by-side using both Official/Stock OxygenOS Camera as well as the Ported OxygenOS Camera. And the original photos were also uploaded.
I am interested in knowing how far (or near/identical) the quality really is (this is not a technical/scientific experiment, but more on just visual inspection of the photos). I am inviting people to participate and let me know what they think by voting in the thread.
Here is the thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/poll-tell-difference-ported-oos-camera-t3574805
I will reveal the answers when the poll closes.

Hi,
Thanks for letting me know. Someone else responded in that thread around 2pm so it looks like the pictures are available for viewing without problems.
When you click the link (from the polling thread), you will see four folders - one folder = 1 Set for comparison. You will need to open the folders to see the pictures.
Here's the link once again: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BxHcXHUSGaDDUXRoVk1WcGhxWWM
Hope you can try it out and try to see the difference. Looking forward to it!
Thanks man, now I can see the pics.

That makes no sense what's so ever. This is the difference between closed sourced and open sourced drivers and such. You can't expect the same quality from devs that do this for free without the use of documentation from the camera maker, to companies that can spend millions in developing camera software.
This is something you have to weigh. Understand the trade off. There is a price to pay for being on open source software and sometimes it is more then people are willing to pay. Which is OK.

I did cast my vote, however it was challenging to find which was shot with stock or port. Therefore you should add a "Can't tell" option (just a suggestion).

Thanks for casting your vote, @navneetsoni11.
I realized too late that XDA's polling system allows for only a single vote, and the only way to edit it would be to make a request to a Forum Moderator. Also the poll is about to end on the 17th. I'll assess if it will still be feasible to have it added.

But you're not using Android 8, anymore, are you? You were talking about Android 9 and so was I. Samsung removed the dual camera feature in Android 9, just like they have removed a great many other features, as well. These things are all well documented across the treads on this forum. It's nothing new.
FFS why didnt I read the CONS of the pie update...
I lost the dual camera, i lost the call recording options for what?
For Samsung UI?! Sure it looks better but.... its just UI
I loved this feature, the apk worked fine on 8. It's one feature I really miss. Does anyone know of an alternative that works well on the note 8 pie?

People need to stop being Iphone users. Back in the day, I recall they tried to remove the SD card with the S6. We didn't buy the phone.
Sales did horribly and Samsung said sure, we will put it back.
Now, everyone is flocking buying the S21, sales doing pretty good.
On top no one goes and tells Samsung on Twitter anything.
Samsung wants to make IPHONES.
That's their goal. That's why they paid millions to BTS singers just to get the fanbase.

Hi everyone!
So I was trying to find the 6.2 version gcam port for the Mi A2 to see if I could try the "time lapse" option and I found this post on XDA:

As you can see here there is more option that on the last version I was using (google lens, slow motion and time lapse):
