This thread had RAW bring enabled on Xiaomi but not only devices:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/guide-how-to-enable-camera2-api-t3419579
If some want to try and have good results...
Raw option will (or won't) appear on third party Camera apps like "Manual Camera" found on the play store.
Some Camera apps that worked before won't work after, which has to be fixed.
For me "Manual Camera" and "A Better Camera Unlocked" now offers RAW but apps like "Camera FV 5" don't work at all. Others have different working/non working apps.

The free "focal" app in the play store has photosphere feature
in the play store, download the free app "focal" by "team BBQ." it was the camera app that was going to be in CyanogenMod. still in beta but it does do photosphere. here is the link to google play store. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.xplod.focal
Did you guys have any problems with any "failed to connect to camera" errors after using/install the photosphere camera?
How well does this work? I mean, the stitching improved a lot in 4.4 on my nexus 4 but I was planning on buying the moto x to replace, I really like it but I don't want to lose photosphere.

anotherdroid from previous page provides a free download of the android camera/gallery. it works flawlessly...of course it also means you have two camera apps. i normally "twist" to open the moto x camera and the android camera on homescreen.

Anyone know if this version also does the Geotagging required to submit the photo sphere to create your own street view as Google has started allowing:

Looks like it. I did a test photosphere with the nexus gallery camera posted on the first page and uploaded it to G+. It is viewable there and if I click the details it looks to have all of the normal geolocation tags.
I'll try to do a real test this weekend.

Hrm so oddly, the images I upload to G+ with Nexus app are not viable on G+ in chrome on my PC. The Android G+ app views them OK. I wonder what is happening there.
Working like a champ on my KK Moto X. It does drop the resolution to 5MP but the shutter lag is significantly lower with this camera - which is why I wanted it. Thanks for the APK!
works great, but one issue
the app works great on my at&t moto x, however, i cannot upload the photosphere to google maps. when i click share to maps, it takes me to the app maps, instead of uploading. anyone experienced that too? (share to g+ or g+ photos works fine)

[Q] pro camera app?

hi, well i think that the xperia z1 camera its great but in his software dont have pro controls like time of shooting and dial open

obviously you have no idea what "professional" means. tip: go and check the FV-5 app that the OP has mentioned in the first post.
it's like someone would ask you for a good mirrorless camera and you would refer him to Samsung Galaxy Camera instead.

FYI: Take a look at my post here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2481316
I understand that everyone wants to make this camera in the Ultra better... Its not going to happen! The camera is average. Simple.
The best you can hope for is an HDR app that composes images and makes them look saturated.
FV-5 doesn't do what it says. It makes slight improvements in noise reduction, but the settings don't effect the image like you would expect. Especially the ISO... disappointing...
There are many professional apps that cost 5$ or more, that hardly do anything different.
The advice i offered was relevant despite you not knowing any better.
additionally... the stock camera does offer location by GPS and time in shot as well.
Are we talking about Z Ultra or Z1?

As if that matters? Camera app for android is a camera app for android... Only thing that might matter is the fact that (for example) ISO settings can not be controlled by 3rd party apps as far as I can tell so far.
I've searched all of the Google play and let me tell you something, android just does not have any pro camera apps... You're gonna have to wait a long time for that!

I've tried a lot of apps FV5 is probably your best bet snap camera seems to have an active dev that keeps improving it. If you want to get the most out of you camera your best bet is to use FV5 in PNG format take the full size picture and use lightroom or PS to post process your images. Perfectly clear does a pretty decent job if you want an automatic enhancing app.

are you take the pictures whit the stock camera app? or use other
Thread title made me think of an app of the same name that works on the iphone called procamera.
Its claim to fame is it allows you to set focus and exposure seperately. So you can tap to focus, lock it then tap to set exposure, say in spot elsewhere without losing the earlier focus.
Wondered if anybody knows of something similar in android ?

What do you think about pro capture?
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Pro capture was one of the first apps I ever bought. I think it's good but it didn't support 20mp only 8. But I think it now supports 20 so I'll have to try it out

Hi,
I bought FV-5, I think procamera is much much much better, I tried every kind of configuration to get better results from fv5 but no way. Please download my pictures:https://www.dropbox.com/sh/x20hdehuizwewi5/8AWuFiitsu
If you zoom on the hat you could see how procapture is able to reproduce much more details.
What do you think?

Access Camera from Apps

There is a problem with capturing photos from 3rd party apps. Once you take a picture, just as the camera is about to return you back to the initiating 3rd party app, the 3rd party app crashes.
It happens to the following apps I tested.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.andrey.notepad
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tubik.notepad
I presume all apps behave this way
Any ideas to get this working. Does any photo taking apps work for you?
I don't remember any crashing. Just turned 90 degrees as that is default rotation

[Q] Cameras with working (non-corrput) RAW/DNG support?

Recently I installed JDX 3.05 (Android M Preview 3 based) and played around with different camera apps the past two days. Every one of them ended up with corrupt RAW/DNG files (according to Photoshop CC 2015). I don't know if this is because of the Android M Preview or recent update to Google Services or some other issue.
Cameras with RAW compatibility that I've tried:
- Manual Camera
- Snap Camera
- Camera FV-5
Anyone have any suggestions or recommendations?
I used RAW Therapy to process the images using Camera fv-5. This was on a Nexus 5 though on Lollipop.

Is that an app? I don't see it on the Play Store. I recently discovered that Adobe Lightroom (Android version) does a nice job with RAW files.
EDIT: Is this it? http://rawtherapee.com/
Yeah that's it (bloody autocorrect). If you can find the developer of L Camera on his github I think it was him that gave a nice tutorial. Very powerful tool.

I wonder if my issue was with Google Play Services. I've changed nothing on my device, besides a few days time going by, and now RAW is working. The files are not corrupted out of any of the cameras I've tried.

Are you using moto camera, or another app?

I've been using the stock camera app, but have wondered if I'm missing something better.. I'm not a serious or good photographer by any means. Mainly looking for something simple, that allows save to SD that will take good pictures

I use the Moto camera app that was stock on the phone. 2 reasons, first, if I want to take great pictures I use my dslr not a phone. Second, I love the twist of the wrist to start it. Usually if I am using my phone to photograph it is because a quick something is happening or about to happen and I can twist my wrist as I bring it up to my face level and the camera app is open and ready to use. Just my 2 cents.
Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk
Exactly, I have the same feelings about moto camera. Also you can record video very quickly (no need to change mode like in other apps). Slow motion video is quite fun too. The only thing that I hate is that it doesn't have built in gallery like for example google cam which leads to delays and bugs.
I'm using HTC Camera and it works well.
Snapdragon camera, which I'm really liking.
I'm using Moto camera but the newer version (camera1) ported from Moto G which adds in a better UI and some manual controls
For pics I use the Google Camera with the HDR+ enabled, it takes great shots when there's a lot of light, Moto camera it's ok, but I rather use Google's. I'm also using Footej (haven't used it that much but so far so good!).
Since I'm rooted I have Xposed, whith the Twisty module I can enable the wrist twist to open any of the cameras I want as default.
For my use of a camera and I have tried many, I really like Open Camera from the Play Store. It offers some of the best options and features without getting all gimmicky.
Using two camera apps, Camera1 from the play store (Motorola's New Camera) for taking pictures and Open Camera for video recording
I have been using "DSLR Camera" from the store for about the last two years. Does everything I want with no fuss.

But don't think it would suit as a system app because there are way to many features
I prefer SnapDragon Camera. I believe you must have a caf kernel in order for it to work correctly.
