Hi,
I own an XZ3 and it is on Android 9, I still don't receive Android 10 update.
I want to install Camera2 enabler (HAL3) and for that I need to unlock the bootloader.
Question: Will I still get and be able to install official updates if I ONLY unlock the device and install the Camera2 enabler? I don't want to install a custom ROM, just the phone's RAW capability.
Thank you!

No, you will need xperifirm and newflashee.
Camera2 enabler never works to enable RAW
It's a driver feature which needs someone at Sony who develops the feature.

What if I install Google Camera after enabling camera2?
In other words, how can I have my phone shooting raw and maintaining the possibility to receive and install official system updates?

Unlocking -> no OTA
Since it means you could have modified the systems and delta updates would fail.
For RAW please use a SODP based custom ROM.

RAW works flawless on Stock too If You know how - MARS_SOM. Updates and DRM will work again after Locking and Repair with the Xperia Suite...
Just My 2 Cents after checking the Threads over here :good:

For the real raw support you need camera drivers with that feature
All you can do is faking raw support for the gcam app, to prevent it from crashing
You also can't relock the xz3
Relocking was introduced with the Xperia 1/5 and the Xperia 10 II
Also since android 9/10 several features continue to work without DRM including the camera

Yes, the xperia 5
This is a thread for the xz3 [emoji14]
And the Xperia 5 doesn't have full raw support
It's semi raw
Only on SODP you get the full camera 2 API including raw.

I know this is a stupid question.
So what is best rom for MI5 ?
My preference is good RAM management, Battery optimization and less buggy.
Here's some list for you to vote.
1. MIUI 8.2 Global Stable (MM)
2. MIUI 7.2 Global Beta (N)
3. Xiaomi EU Stable (MM)
4. Xiaomi EU Weekly (N)
5. RR 7.1
6. RR 6.0
7. Lineage OS (N)
8. You tell me. ?
Actually I'd be happy to get a MIUI based ROM.
But it would be okay with Android vanilla.
So Please share your opinion here.
Think it'd help me and new MI5 users like me as well.
Thank You.

I heard EU rom enables camera api2. They even mentioned it on their forum. But after installing, Manual Camera gives FC and FV-5 doesn't shoot RAW. It says my device isn't supported.
[ NB: I tried to flash EU rom with all wiped. It didn't boot. Then I flash it again wiping nothing. It boots well with all my data. I was on Global Beta before. I'm adding my 'About Phone' SS. So why doesn't it support camera api2 ? Can you help ? ]

It does! I tested it again with Proshot again:
- Set to take picture in raw format
- Made a couple of shots
- Found them in designated folder with *.dng extension
- Moved them to my Mac
- Imported them into Darktable for editing them. They all showed up there...:good:
Also tested OpenCamera: enabled Camera2 API in settings and the app didn't crash - there was no option to save the picture in raw format. I suppose there is no such an option anyway...
For good RAM management, there is not better than Lineage OS
I think Eu.Weekly & AICP.daily
XenonHD. Enough said. On my MI3 days, I usually pair the ROM with Kairi's Xceed kernel. Believe me or not, the freaking thing zips through apps. I sure which we can have an official XenonHD for our MI 5.
By doing the root, I do not know how can it be, the camera app has disappeared.
Is there apk?
If not, other possible solutions?
Thank you all
nobody?
http://www35.zippyshare.com/v/AYfN9sEL/file.html
Here's mine. Extract the zip and put the HwCamera2 directory to /system/priv-app. Then reboot. The camera should be back.
I don't know how the app can disappear.
And I also don't know, if the app is working for you because I'm on VTR-L29C432B162

The camera app prior to the release of EMUI 9 didn't work very well at all on custom ROMs - it's something I've fought with for months; it's pretty much that it's too dependent on EMUI. Doesn't really matter which version of the EMUI 8 camera, or which ROM you're running - it's just frequently broken for most things besides basic picture taking.
The one shipped with EMUI 9 seems to work with minimal issues on AOSP, when used with an EMUI 9 based vendor image. (Yes, I'm aware that there currently aren't any released ROMs for P10 on an EMUI 9 base yet - I'm personally working on OmniROM 9, and I know there will be an official build of RR before too long as well, mostly just dealing with minor hardware differences at this point, I think, since the image is built to support multiple devices.)

Is my SODP based LineageOS Port still needed or are the users moved to PixelExperience or the stock based LineageOS which both are official and receive OTA updates?
If yes, I will EOL the SODP based LineageOS port and focus on other stuff.
So xz2 got official Lineage os.Can we expect also for xz3?

Sadly to get an official LOS based on stock it is needed to own the XZ3 as a hardware.
Is my LOS port really needed?
Then we need to find a solution, I would like to focus on a single rom where a version for the xz2/xz2c/xz3 is needed and the xz2/c part is now replaced by the official supported & stock based LOS.
Just because I like variety and hate to reinvent the where if I build unofficial builds for a ROM where an official support exist.
There is also AOSP and the official Pixel Experience with OTA updates.
24.08.2020
Since we have now an official LineageOS based on stock, this ROM would be double work.
So I stop the LOS port.
(Sadly unless a dev owns a XZ2P or XZ3 these phones won't be supported in the official stock based LineageOS)
The only difference between the stock and SODP editions are:
SODP will get GCAM support later and has camera2API level 3.
stock will never support GCAM apps and has the limited stock camera2API level.
SODP uses a 4.14 kernel and probably get mainline support later.
stock uses the stock 4.9 kernel and will probably be there forever.
SODP targets to use as much open source as possible.
And LiveDisplay doesn't work in my SODP version.
PS: After the September exams in the new semester I look for a ROM replacement for the sake of diversity.
It's good to have a choice and with the available official supported SODP based Pixel Experiment, we have a ROM which sadly forces you to use the full GAPPS (Google Apps package).

I think it's still good to buy.
I bought the asia 6GB ram edition.
In the future it will be part of the mainline kernel, so it won't need closed source vendor drivers anymore, which makes it future proof.

There is no camera fix for P (unless t is going to be 100% functional) I recommend that you upgrade to Q directly and the camera works

This Module enables RAW Capture on the Galaxy A30, and changes the camera Hardware Level from Limited to Full.
RAW Capture is required for most GCams to work.
For information about GCam, go to this thread. It's for the A20, but contains useful information.

How does it work?
It works by replacing the library located at /vendor/lib/libexynoscamera3.so with an edited one. For reverse engineering enthusiasts, here is the patch applied to the library.
Prerequisites
- Magisk v20.4 or newer
- Android 11 vendor and kernel (Not compatible with versions of the Eureka Kernel older than 9.0)
Installation
Install as a normal Magisk Module, through Magisk Manager or TWRP.
Troubleshooting
Camera doesn't work, shows Black Screen
Make sure you are using a compatible Android 11 kernel and vendor.
If this issue is happening after updating your firmware, please let me know.

On the stock rom it probably does.
For the S10/20 on LOS only standard and wide lens are accessable whereas the telephoto is not.
On the S10 for LOS 17.1 I therefore had a patched "libexynoscamera3.so" as well granting access to telephoto lens via gcam.
However for LOS 18.1/19.0 or even for my new phone the S20 I was not able to find any patched libs anymore since nobody took the effort of reverse engineering it as you did.
Would you be willing to make the necessary adaption for your patcher to successfully enable raw on all lenses for LOS 18.1/19 on the S10/20 ?

Technically, yes. However, in the A20 enabling RAW in the Android 10 library makes the camera freeze after some seconds in apps like GCam.
If you are willing to test, i can do it, maybe the A30 doesn't have the same issue.
Bro will this mod work for Galaxy A30 (Android 11) ??
Edit: I'm sorry....for a moment I thought this mod for A20.....Sorry again.

Yes, only on gsi or Oneui3.1 ROMs.You need ROM with 11 vendor
Version 2.1 of the module released, the biggest change is that there is no longer a need to change the Black Level in GCam settings, so GCams (or other camera apps) that don't have this option should now take photos without pink tint.
Full changes can be found here.
