[Q] 1st Gen + Lollipop = RAW (DNG) support? - Moto X Q&A

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

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....

[Q] Anyone tried to use L Camera on Lollipop?

There is a project that uses the new camera APIs in 5.0 to allow one to save RAW image files, control exposure time, shoot at 30 FPS full resolution, do 1080p60fps video, and more... So far, it's only confirmed working on the Nexus 5 and Nexus 6 but as the Moto G 2014 has the same sensor as the Nexus 5, I was wondering if it might also work on the G. Anyone care to give it a shot?

Nexus 6 RAW question

Hello Good evening
just signed up to the site today and have a question regards to RAW on the nexus 6 XT 1100 (please go easy on me as im not sure if this is the correct forum to ask )
Been along galaxy s4 s5 user and just bought my nexus 6 because of the screen size and the ability to shoot raw also folk have really raved the reviews of this phone being one of the best there is even now
my question is i want to use the stock phones camera app to shoot RAW but read it wasnt enabled and there is no feature on the current version so i have to use camera FV-5 to have the RAW images
my phone is running 7.0 and still no RAW feature in the stock app
is there a way of updating the stock app camera so RAW becomes available or do i still need to rely on 3rd party apps from the play store ?
im not understanding the mechanics of phones nor know how to install APKs so if anyone would be so kind help me out here with answers or instruction how to install whatever it is i need to get RAW working in the stock camera app it would be very much appreciated
thanks you guys
You'll need to rely on third party apps to be able to shoot in RAW. Currently Google Camera does not support RAW, though there are indications in the Android Police teardown of the version 3.2 APK that Google is leaning in the direction of supporting it in the future.
Snap camera is also a promising camera app, and it supports raw capture too.
I don't spend money on apps, to be honest, BUT Manual Camera is one of the 4 apps I have ever bought. I believe it gives great control and is easy to work with. You can try it out, it supports RAW shooting as well.

Second the recommendation for Manual Camera

Possible to port Google's HDR+ to our Moto Xs?

As some of you might be aware Google's awesome camera software with HDR+ was ported to devices running Snapdragon 820/821/835 devices. Now I know for fact we couldn't port that version to our Moto X. Even if could it would cook our CPUs.
But what about the older version of HDR+ that's on the Nexus 6? Can it be ported? It makes a huuuuugggggggeeeee difference in the quality on photos like night and day. Google's photo processing is leaps and bounds better than any other.
Been wondering this for a while as well. I believe it could be done.

Do you know which Snapdragon 800/801 device has the biggest development scene? Maybe prodding over there would be better, if it works for them it will work for us.
Are you talking about the oneplus one? I loved using the old version of google camera and would even like a 3+ version available to everyone. I wonder why google would limit the app exposure?

Question S22U camera app port possible?

It seems that the S22 Ultra use a lot of the same stuff like lenses, maybe the whole camera setup. So we dont know, if they improve software AI and we also dont know, if that really requires Exynos 2200 or SD8 Gen1.
In the past, there were many things ported from newer models to older models. Even GCAM get a port.
Im interested into the updated camera app from the S22U because of 108MP enhancer mode and less noice in video.
Do you think it is possible and someone will do?
I use the unofficial ExpertRAW heavily and in my opinion it can improve image quality a lot. As long as nobody compare ExpertRAW from both phones, I doubt there will be much hardware upgrades in camera Departement.

+1, I've been wondering about the same as well,back when I owned an S8+, I remember getting rom ports of the note 8 alongside which you would get the new camera app as well
I know getting the entire rom ported over to the phone,only the camera app should be sufficient here since software updates pretty much bridge any and all difference between phones except for specific apps,like the camera
S22 runs on oneui 4.1, we are on 4.0 probably some of the new features will be available for us once we get an update. To be honest I would wait till that and then see if there is anything "missing".
Probably samsung will restrict something for newest device, but there is a chance that we will get nearly everything as the hardware should not be an issue.
The improvements on main camera seems impossible to port on 21U for the isp on snapdragon 888 can't take one photo in 108MP mode and 12MP mode at the same time which is available on snapdragon 8 Gen 1.
