Apologies if this topic has been repeated, but this regards the new Camera API in Lollipop.
Having found this app for the N5 only, for now, utilising the new Camera API:
https://github.com/PkmX/lcamera
it allows the device to record video at the full camera resolution (just under 4K for the N5).
Now does this use of the API mean we could get this device's camera to record video at 2.2K or whatever the max resolution of the 5MP sensor is? Or does that LCamera project exploit API plus N5 specific hardware features we're not aware of?
I know a tablet camera is still silly but it would be decent to have 2K video recording abilities! Thanks for any feedback!
Hi,
I was trying use Endoscope. It's model for USB OTG and UVC.
But without success.
I am using FreedomOS CE 2.5.
I think that problem is with UVC drivers.
Could somebody use any UVC device with Oneplus3 ? Is it functional ?
Any advice ?
Thanks
Hi I have the same problem on latest oxygen OS.
Is there a ROM which includes UVC drivers? Or is it a kernel thing?
issues here. The camera works on the lg g6 but not this phone
UVC Camera
phew,
for uvc video you need uvc support in your kernel. There for you have to combile and build a new kernel from source and flash it on your phone. From that part on, UVC driver module should be included in your rom.
The driver module creates a video0 node in your "/dev" folder. An UVC Video API normaly accesses over /dev/video0.

》 You can use Manual Shutter speed after getting into manual mode.
》 You can use the Manual shutter speed for both front & rear camera's.
》 Manual shutter speed can slso be used while recording front & rear camera video's.
》 4k video rec availabe at rear camera with manual shutter speed.
》 Higher resolution front camera video when compared to stock camera.
》 You can record video in wide mode in front camera.
Tips :
1) Turn on Camera2api in the settings.
2) While using front camera, Double tapping the camera switch changes the front camera into it's wide mode.
3) Use 4k rec under low light for much better exposure.

Thanks . It works flawlessly
It does a pretty good job filming in the dark, indeed. But there seems to be no noise reduction at all in manual mode?
Great. What is the lowest shutter speed available?

• External implementation of noise reduction algorithms require level_3 support of ca2pi.
• Enabling the same isn't in my domain of development nor the developer's.
• A system developer needs to work on camera2api fix on galaxy A50 on system side.
• After that, you can also use my modded Gcam for A50 here :

》How come manual shutter speed is available without camera2api? Why doesn't Google camera work yet ?
• OEM's like Samsung, Huawei etc tend to use their own API's for various purposes over/with Pure Api's from Google.
Hence, even due to limited functionality of pure Api's, various functionalities still can be enabled by Oem's, eg. Manual controls etc.
• Gcam natively requires pure Api's of Google, eg. Camera2api, etc.
Hence there's no other workaround for gcam.
Cheers !

Yes, I do. There's a woman in the second photo.
But seriously, no I don't see a differency in quality.

Will they be able to fix camera2 api level_3?

Currently, there's no exact/proven method to enable Camera2api on Galaxy A50.

Camera2API for our devices seems to be natively supported out of the box (with RAW support,).
What's the best G. Cam port version for our devices?
Thanks
Have tried searching this to no avail. Are there any GCam ports that offer function? I love to use my Moment anamorphic lens with the stock camera app but there is no way to de-squeeze this video in post on the phone. I don't mind if the viewfinder doesn't show the de-squeeze to save on power but would love if it could at least de-squeeze the footage in the background after it is done recording.
Wondering if any of the GCam modders would be able to add this as a setting in one of the GCam ports (MWP maybe) or if someone could create a dedicated anamorphic GCam port?
