[Q] External Camera apps supporting manual ISO for Z1? (Many not working)

I do like the Z1 a lot, including the camera but in manual mode I find it a bit cumbersome to go into the menu to set ISO values and all so I was looking for custom camera apps which allow me to access this more directly, only to find out they don't work (properly) on the Z1.
So far I tried:
Lenovo Super Camera: Allows you to set the iso, but simply ignores the value set
Camera FV-5: Same as above
Focal: Can't find an option to set ISO
ProCapture: No manual ISO control (Will be in a next release, but device miight not be supported)
Pudding Camera; No manual ISO control
Camera360: "Your device does not support this" message
Camera ZoomFX: No manual ISO control
So I'm afraid it will be impossible for third party apps to control the ISO values. Which wouldn't be too bad if I could access the setting more directly in the native camera app.
Anyone with tips or tricks for this?

I'd like too, but Sony locks APIs to set ISO without the stock app
It's incredible but true

[Q] Accessing Exposure Indicator Values

I am wondering if anyone knows how to access the Exposure Indicator Values programmatically? I'm looking at doing a time-lapse application that manually adjusts the exposure settings based on the Exposure Indicator Values to keep the exposure at 0.
Example, when the exposure indicator value shows -1, I would like to step it up 1 stop using a faster shutter speed to keep the Exposure Indicator Value at 0.
Thank you!

This is not supported in the camera settings. To achieve desired expose in photography, the balance of ISO, aperture and speed are what will give you the control.
Use the camera on manual mode or Program mode for the most control. You can then stop down, or up according to the desired exposure.

Camera app with ISO control

Is there any camera app that allows to set ISO? Stock camera does not react to ISO settings at all...

Set minimum shutter speed?

Hi everyone,
I just purchased a Nokia 7 plus and I can't find any way of setting a minimum shutter speed. If I go into pro mode and set shutter speed to 1/125 all my low light pics are great with no blur but obviously this will make bright daylight shots over exposed.
Is there a way to mod the software to keep everything the same but let me adjust the minumum shutter speed to 1/125? rather than fixed at 1/125
What would be perfect for me would be a setting at 1/125 minimum shutter speed and a slower speed for when using the flash to capture the background (Google - Dragging the shutter). but if not, i'd be happy if I could only have the minimum shutter speed.
I only use the camera for family pics and a lot of those are of my 2 year old boy. I don't really want to mess with settings too much because you have to be quick to capture those special moments.

Differences with shutter speed in default camera app and others camera apps

Recently, I did root on Mi Max 2 and then enabled camera2api to have manual options to change iso, shutter speed and be able to save photos in dng (RAW) format. I noticed that in the default camera app I can take pictures with a manual shutter speed setting up to 32 seconds. But when I use other applications that allow manual settings and saving in dng, the maximum working shutter speed at which I can take a picture is 4 seconds. Choosing any higher shutter speed value means that capturing the image lasts indefinitely (regardless of the manual settings and the file format).
Can anyone explain to me why in the default camera app taking photos with shutter speed e.g. 5 seconds is possible and in other camera apps capture with the same shutter speed (and higher) never ends? Is there any way to take photos with a time longer than 4 seconds and be able to save them in dng format?
