Long exposure photography

Hi, I've tried many apps to make photos with long exposure time, from fv-5 to freedcam and hedgecam, but in every camera exposure time always stops at 2 seconds. I've read that it's a software problem because MIUI version of A2 lite camera can go up to 32 sec. Now, I have camera2 api enable and I doesnt affect nothing. Aniway I found a mod of nokia camera by @linuxct (Im currently on 91.9.1130.40) that allows to shot 4 seconds, unfortunately without RAW. Here are some photos:
Apk?
im tried camera fv-5 (paid) and it work to take long exposure shot >16s with camera2api enabled by magisk module,,
but~ the image quality is poor~ not like the other phone,,

Are you sure it's long exposure and not image stacking? Cause for me it seems It only stacks images. I tried to take a photo with the lite version and with nokia camera, settings are exp time:4 sec, ISO:400, for both cameras. The brighter One Is nokia

This magisk module works on stock rom and evolution x, crdroid and lineage os this miui camera can shoot up to 32 seconds without anybug or problem and It's made for Mi A2 Lite.

Because its real shutter speed. Not the collection of images .

yup,
did the option for "force usage of legacy camera driver" is off? you can check it on
general setting > compatibility
it must on then your shutter speed option will not showing as scrolling, it will showing as manual input number. and it work on my a2 lite than scrolling mode.

Works perfectly! This Is what I was looking for, though It doesn't have RAW it's the best camera for long exposure I've tried so far. As soon as there will be a good night sky I will provide some photos

Yes I have It on and the seconds instead of the scrolling, but doesn't make a real long exposure, maybe it's because Im on lite version(?)
There we go

Of course, as mentioned already; using Camera2 API / HAL3 and the MIUI Camera's Manual mode is the better option.
You can otherwise get it working in FreeDCam, albeit with Camera1 API:
Turn off / remove Camera2 API and reboot
Confirm Camera1 API is in use by using Camera2 Probe, ensuring "Hardware Support Level" = LEGACY
Launch FreeDCam and re-run FeatureDetector
Set your image settings as desired, and turn OFF Zero Shutter Lag
Use Mode Pic, JPEG output. Swipe up from the bottom, and set the shutter to desired value in seconds
(optional, but recommended) Set ISO to ISO_HJR to get >ISO3200 in low light
39 seconds @ ISO12744 is the highest/most I can get. From 40s on there's some sort of wrap or restart from 0.

Are you on A2 lite? Because I tried your method but always stops at a 0.4sec
Edit: playing with settings and now magically works, lol. However the fact that you must use api 1 otherwise it crashes it's annoying, because RAW is only usable with api2

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 :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a50/themes/google-camera-samsung-galaxy-a50-t3907288/page15
》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 !

General MOST STABLE GCAM FOR MOTO G40_G60, NIKITA 7.4 GCAM

Hey moto g40/g60 users, I have got another Stable Gcam working for you
This is my daily photography app
The photos come out to be very good especially in daylight
It's known as
NIKITA 7.4
Nikita: NGCam_7.4.104-v2.0
Download NGCam_7.4.104-v2.0 by Nikita.
www.celsoazevedo.com
Open the link and install either of the 4, all are the same, if one doesn't get installed, download and install other
No configs for now
WHAT'S WORKING?
EVERYTHING
_ Night Sight: ultrawide, main
_Astrophotography: ultrawide, main
_portrait mode with hdr+ enhanced
_slow mo at [email protected], [email protected] WITH AUTOFOCUS (which the stock camera doesn't support)
_main 64mp [email protected]/30 [email protected] all With EIS
_panorama, photosphere
WHAT'S NOT WORKING?
_ ULTRAWIDE videos not working
_timelapse green tint issue
you tell me
TUTORIAL FOR BEST SETTINGS
Please follow it carefully or you might end up in grainy photos
in this youtube video,
apart from that
FOR ASTROPHOTOGRAPHERS OUT THERE
The gcam supports max up to 5-minute long exposure astrophotography
but by default, it's locked to a maximum of 1-minute exposure astrophotography
you need to unlock 5-minute exposure through an XML file
attached in this xda post below knows as "best XML for all devices"
NOTE:
don't confuse the "unlock 5 min astrophotography" config file as the best config file for NIKITA 7.4,
use it only if you want to use 5-minute long exposure astrophotography and otherwise don't use it
This gcam uses the max 5 minutes only when there is very low light cause the gcam adjusts exposure time itself depending on lighting conditions
BE INFORMATIVE

Question How to enable 48mp mode in Gcam?

As title,I want to use 48mp raw in Gcam in POCO f3.Does someone have related magisk modules to enable it? The 48mp mode in original camera is too limited and wrong quality.
Translation form Google.
Thanks
You can't
I would love to have 48 MP in Gcam...
