Has the New camera API for Android 5.0 become available now that we are getting 5.0 roms?
Really looking forward to using the new features.
If not, what aspect of these new things are we waiting for to get support? Is it something in AOSP that we have to wait for, or something with the apps or roms themselves?

Do you mean for AOSP 5.0 or LG's own 5.0 rom?
I know that AOSP and all the roms using it's base, can't really handle the camera of the G3.
Could you specify?

I suppose the question applies to both, but in this case I'm just asking about CM12.

Well you're gonna get the new API, but it's going to be drastically limited since the LG camera needs an LG driver.
So you might have a feature more or two, but it's really no use when the camera is degraded to 2011 quality and video is only 15 fps.
There is a lot more to this than the API of the operating system. The driver is where the magic is at.

isn't there a way to port that driver to AOSP? i find it hard to believe we are going to get stuck with this quality

I actually put up a post some time ago asking the same question, but the answer remains the same, it's probably not going to happen any time soon. Not to mention other problems that relates to G3 + AOSP. Example could be the IR remote controller.
I know that some developers had luck with AOSP + LG G2 with the camera, where they ported it, but AFAIK it was more or less crashing all the time and missing features and functions, so at the end of the day it wasn't really worth the effort.
Now what I have done is simply use LG's Lollipop and then tweak it all the way to AOSP, retaining all the good stuff
LG's rom can actually be made very nice including in performance and that comes from a guy whose old phone was a Nexus 5 with Lollipop
The ports of LGs camera always worked great for me on AOSP. And given how ridiculously simple the camera app is for the G3 I'd expect it to be even easier to get working.
I'm OK with sticking on stock Lolipop Roms if that means having access to the 5.0 Camera API. I just have to wait to get there since I'm on VZW.
Are you able to use the API on your Lollipop stock rom?

The lollipop roms from LG do not feature a camera driver for the new camera2 api. That is a shame for two reasons. First of all the new api gives you a lot of new options (manual mode, raw export among others) which in turn enable developers to implement neat tricks like the super sensor from A Better Camera. Overall a huge opportunity! Secondly the LG Flex2 with the exact same camera module (AFAIK) has the new api.
So please everyone ask LG about that. They might eventually listen. Or maybe some rom developer could port the driver over from the Flex2.

That's really sad. If the gflex 2 Roms have it and it is indeed the same module, is there any way to get it from there and add it to our stock based Roms?

That's what I'm hoping for. . . Anyone?
is there any luck of us getting this functionality on our phone ? does it require a firmware update from lg for the camera ?
because cyanogemod/aosp has the api already included. so it makes me think its the firmware which is lacking

Indeed it is the firmware. However XCam LG by xdabbeb acheives much if what I'd hoped for from the camera API. Bitrate/compression control, RAW (DNG format) support, ISO control and some shutter speed settings.

In the discription it states:
This app takes full advantage of Lollipop's Camera2 API, and therefore requires it to be properly implemented in your Android ROM. If your device runs on Lollipop, and still the app is not compatible with it, please contact your ROM provider (e.g. Samsung, LG) and ask them to fully implement Camera2 API
You can see if it works on your phone with this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.vipek.camera2_compatibility_test
No !LG cut the camera api2 part!
Just ran the compatibility test and none of the features are compatible... too sad, hopefully LG releases the next UI with manual controls.
I hope so :fingers-crossed:, It drives me mad when I see my friend with lumia 1020 and its manual settings

From what I've read in other posts the LG G3's hardware isn't even capable of being upgraded to the new Camera API 2 that was implemented on some devices recently.
Redmi note 5 pro AI miui 12
Hi, I have a few questions about miui 12 RN5 pro AI
This is my only device, so I can't flash the xiaomi.eu and test it.
1. The android still version 9 Pie in miui 12, so does it come with privacy protection ?
2. Does it include the features Virtual ID in privacy protection ?
3. If xiaomi global / china already reach the final rom version and no support anymore, does that mean xiaomi.eu will stop updating the rom too ?
Tbh, I just want the privacy protection features, it looks awesome :good:
We can give access to app permission only while using the app, and disable them to use the permission in background is great.
I just want to give online banking to use permission all the time, and other application only while I am using it
Yes it does come with privacy protection
Yes Eu roms will be stopped after Xiaomi stop releases for whyred (as Eu builds are based on China stable/weekly

Have u ever used lineage os before ?
How is the privacy guard / trust compared to privacy protection in miui 12 ? Kinda curious :highfive:

Yeah i have tried Los, but I wasn't impressed with it.
The privacy protection is much improved and implementation is also good.
I was fooled by this as I was using the rom and whenever i tried to register on Banking apps "No sim card card error was popping", after searching on xda i found that this privacy feature blocks imei and sim card acesss to ? apps and u have to manually change it.

Right now I am more focusing to privacy because I get hacked a few times before, well at least I learnt a lot after getting hacked :highfive:
Lineageos trust only can allow, deny and ask everytime
Meanwhile privacy protection in miui can allow, deny,ask everytime, or only use permission while in-app, that's huge + already.
Can't wait for the miui 12 on whyred global. I hate to changing rom again because it breaks a lot of my apps, most of them crashed, stopped after restored.
The worst is one of my banking apps can't backed up, and the bank is not available in my town, I need to use hard token and get it fixed when I travel again :crying:

Well this is gonna be a long story, but the most important thing is never use weak password.
1. Check at https://haveibeenpwned.com , see which one of ur email already got breached in the site, if u got breached, and use the same password for all account, u are dead :good: , that's why I am using password manager and generated unique long, strong, mix password for every account, if one of account breached, the rest will be fine. Bitwarden is the best to go :fingers-crossed: and I am gonna using keepass for now, just search a lot on internet which password manager u want and comparison, bitwarden and keepass just my own preference and experience :good:
2. When you search on the internet, what's the best antivirus for mobile, most people said android don't need antivirus, yeah that's true if you are using app from play store only :silly: , what if u are like me use modded whatsapp, instagram, etc ? First, download from trusted source only such as mobilism, and from truster user only, not some dude that signup today, and u use his mod apk, u are dead too :laugh: , and I don't said u should use antivirus either, but just use the default miui antivirus, at least it scan every apps after installing, then if u really want to use modded facebook, whatsapp, instagram like that, make sure to use 2FA on the account :highfive:
From here on out is the extra tips I suggest.
3. The reason I ask for privacy question here is to prevent some apps using my permission in background, and make sure every apps u installed got the permission it needed only, u don't want a flashlight apps request permission for contact,sms, gps, and u didn't read, and just press ok while installed, u dead once more again :angel:
4. If you really like to use custom rom, make sure to scan with virustotal on every zip u downloaded, u don't want any malware,keylogger attached, I realized many custom rom appeared and some tech wannabe in youtube just recommend this and that saying this rom is the best,etc. You never know if one of them got malware,keylogger,etc. The most suspicious one I have right now is mi globe, it offer a lot of customization based on user preference and based on xiaomi.eu but there's no much mention about it, and they don't allow comment on their site, and no community. It kinda make me curious, why such great rom don't have reviews ?
5. Check this https://www.privacytools.io for a lot of privacy protection, their site includes a lot of thing, adblock,etc, so bad guys don't store and sell your data. And of course more secure :fingers-crossed:

is whyred still in MIUI 12 BETA program?
2020-06-23, whyred is still on the MIUI-12-xda-release-list of devices that MIUI 12 is being tested for.
The next update, 2020-07-01 whyred disappeared from that list.
What am I missing here? Are those xiaomi.eu-ROMs only? Has anyone information regarding that? I would love to see MIUI 12 for this phone, miui has improved in every update and the new features look great. Somewhere was mentioned that the gfx will mostly be turned off for this device but the dropdown menu looks better than thatvon an iPhone

There's no official release about miui 12 yet for whyred, probably 1-3 months for global stable release.
And yes, they are probably from xiaomi.eu
Just check where you got the rom, as far I know there's many of them.
Revos, mi globe, mi room, xiaomi.eu, all of them got whyred miui 12
Device reached EOL status (no beta anymore), so they will continue to release only stable roms (every few months).
I'm not sure that there will be miui 13 for this device.

Unfortunately, I do not understand what you meant.
How can you be sure there will be an official update for whyred anyway ?
I interpret the disappearance of whyred from the beta/stable ROMs list that xiaomi just stopped to develop it any further. Why else would they stop testing it? There is a list of reported bugs but no releases that have fixed those.
There are 29 ROMs in development in the main MIUI12-beta/stable-thread and since 2020-06-23 nothing happened in regards to whyred. I know the rule is to not ask any questions about expected release dates but I just wanted to ask more basically:
what does EOL imply? will that be the last MIUI update for it? how reliable is your source regarding a MIUI12 release for whyred at all? I saw the list of devices that should get the MIUI12-update but they stopped to develop it for the Redmi Note 6 Pro, too, despite it being listed in the initial presentation. (reason was brick-rate was too high iirc)
The funniest thing about MIUI update is the option to "get updates sooner" (using native language-own translation). It has never worked and in case you are right in regards to further updates, it will never work.
How did one apply for beta testing of official Xiaomi ROMs ?
If my whyred-display continues to deteriorate I will need to buy a new phone anyway. One cannot read it in clear daylight if the sun burns as it does in Europe at the moment, bleeding from four or five point on the side gets worse and the ghosting with the display gets worse too.
I still like the phone as it served my well over the last two years and still can provide me with every tool I need (ok, the camera is a good point in favor of a new phone- was hoping for the POCO F2 zoom in case POCO can get their hands on the K30pro zoom ed. and rebrand it.)

EOL means End Of Life. Whyred was released back in February 2018 and it was supported till 20th of June of 2020 (I think it's Enough support).
Stable version will be available soon as it is first released for Chinese users then it is made globally.

Expect late 2020 or early 2021. I would recommend you go for custom ROMs.
Apparently even if you were on DP1, it still wipes your phone on the upgrade. I wonder why that's necessary.

I am not on the beta program, but received a notice on a pre-update for my 8 pro. It went away and had me wondering, as the updater showed nothing.
I guess it was this beta update. As usual, OnePlus can't keep their ducks in a row.
Sounds like there's not enough to make the "upgrade" worthwhile - could someone please test whether turning WiFi Hotspot on and off via MacroDroid / Taskman etc. still works?

You can download it from apkmirror.com
It dint not work on 10.5.10, downgraded to 10.5.8, now I can install the DP.
I'm downgrading to 10.5.11. I'm finding 11 DP2 still too bugging. I thought it would have been a little further along from DP1. I guess I'll wait until a stable version comes along.

Android Auto not working on DP2 either.
Is dual sim in the us working?
I searched a new phone with good ROM support. After some readings of XDA's threads, I just bought RN8Pro, waited a week for unlocking and tried few ROMs.
It ended up that some newer RN8Pro has a slighty different front camera's hardware that is not actually supported by custom ROMs, as it has been discussed in some threads (like this one : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...xperience-official-aosp.4059977/post-83570951 )
I didn't saw this information before buying, so maybe it is useful that this will be more visible to people who want to buy this phone.
If you have some news about fixing front camera, feel free to respond.
That is a problem that I also face
The front camera does not work on any MIUI with Android 9. But on MIUI with Android 10 it works well...
The problem is that every ROM requires me downgrade to MIUI with Android 9.
Same problem here.
Bought 2 devices 2 weeks ago, unlocked a few days ago and installed crdroid 6.11.
Front camera is not working, GCam crashes on start.
On another device, bought in october the front camera works well with GCam and other camera apps.
Hopefully someone finds a quick fix.
If this camera is a different model, can we identify it using AIDA64?
In AIDA64 -> Peripherals , mine says Samsung ISOCell S5K3T1. I don't know if this is the new model.
EDIT: I read that it's a new revision of the same model so I think this "method" won't work.

Did your front camera work in custom roms?
My sensor is too Samsung ISOCell S5K3T1 and not work on Android 9 with MIUI and custom roms.
Same case for me, the front camera is "Samnsung ISOCell S5K3T1" and I installed evolution X 4.7 and everything works except the front camera, how sad, I haven't found a way to make it work. I asked in an official rn8pro telegram channel and they only told me to stay in Rom Stock with miui until Xiaomi releases the firmware code for these new sensors. The newer rn8pro devices are the ones that have this problem since their front camera sensors are new.
It seems I have the same problem. I wasn aware of that when buying!
I tried the Roms:
Pixel Experience

Same result on all Roms, everything works except the front camera. As soon as I install another cam app like Gcam, it crashes.
I wish I knew this before buying Note 8 Pro
I hate MIUI, I was going to flash custom ROM as soon as possible. But... Revolut doesn't work without selfie camera. I hope I can relock bootloader and return the phone.
The strange thing is that no custom rom developer can solve this problem
+1 for me being a victim of this new front camera module!
Given the situation right now I/we have to compromise. Working front camera with MIUI (it's unusable for me and I've tried) or no working front camera + custom ROM.
I chose the latter (Pixel Experience 10).
If I do need a front camera I'll have to get my LG G2 (LineageOS 16.0).
Either Xiaomi releases the code for the new front camera module or it leaks somehow. Whichever comes faster.

I have also the same Problem.
Samsung ISOcell S5KGW1
Same problem here. Does it need just a rebuild with a more recent kernel? Anybody have any advice how to start that?

Same question here!
What I can confirm that the newest Pixel Experience ROM has the selfie cam working perfectly, I am just not a friend of that level of Google integration.
So I guess we have to wait for one of the other maintainers to take a stab at this, or try it ourself ...
I guess it's a lot more than linking some new libraries, so if anyone can point me in the right direction, maybe a howto, that would be much appreciated.

The front camera is working with Pixel Experience 11 (Build: 16th of march of 2021).
I installed Pixel Experience 11 today and the front camera works (didn't crash so far either).
