Honor 7 mapillary app - camera issue, broken? - Honor 7 General

Hi!
I try to use the mapillary app on the new honor 7 64GB model to get good 20MP pictures while moving around (like google streetview, but free to use).
But the camera on the honor 7 does only allow 640x480 in the mapillary app and the shutter sound is not to be disabled.
If I use the camera app, it does make use of the 20 MP mode.
I tried the original Android 5.0 and the new Android 5.1.1 beta - all of them show the same error with mapillary.
Does anyone of you do have the same issues? Can anyone test it?
I tried with honor 6 - here it works fine, mapillary can make 13MP pictures, also on all other android mobiles I testes (HTC one, moto g2, Rebel,..).
Thank you,
echelon

Many apps are incompatible with Honor 7 and in some case not fully compatible, like you figured out, for Mapilliary

Hi !
Oh, all Apps I tried are running fine, just Mapillary had missed a feature to select the 20MP camera mode.
After a short debug session with mapillary devs, I can use the Huawei Honor 7 fine now. Just the issue of far to few gigs of storage in device is a issue, 64GB is not really much if you do a 5MB picture every second, and I need to use 2 sim cards.
For others: issues with mapillary and Honor 7 are: no infinity focus mode available, need to set to automatic. This forced mapillary into 640x480 mode.
Also the 20MP mode of Honor 7 is NOT 4:3, it is 322:243 (5152x3888), which is a problem for apps selecting only 4:3 modes, and biggest 4:3 mode in Honor 7 is somewhat 3264x2448 (8MP) only. So you need to be able to choose non 4x3 modes in your app.

Camera2 api

It looks like we have full support of camera 2 api.
try snap camera from the store it have a option to enable..used the app if I was on aosp rom with the m8
Good to see
I forget where, but this was actually confirmed a looooooong time ago (well... long in tech time. Couple of weeks ago though).
I thought that since Samsung doesn't offer shutter speed control in pro mode that they didn't enable the full camera 2 api.

Hi,
According to the person who wrote this article, it seems that the camera2 api is not fully supported at the moment :
http://spectrastudy.com/camera2-api-on-mwc-2015-devices/
The manual camera checks would then bit too enthusiastic if this is true.
Can anyone who has manual camera installed try to take a picture in RAW and post the DNG file here?
I couldn't find any S6 DNG file on the web; it would be great if someone could confirm whether it is really possible to shoot in RAW with the S6.
With a Nexus 5, the 3 following apps can shoot in RAW :
- a better camera (there is a free version with limited number of shots in case)
- camera fv-5 (paid app)
- manual camera (paid app)

It does, but due to driver limitations, the longest shutter you can choose in Manual Camera app is 1/10. The longest shutter the S6 and edge is allowed to use (when ISO is manually set in the stock camera app) is 1/7. And when Manual Camera opens, WB is all green, so you need to long press WB to make it normal. There is now RAW support wither.
Right now the best camera SW for the S6 and edge is the stock, which is extremely fast to open, very quick to focus and snap, and offers a wide variety of options including manual settings, without shutter control. The latter is a pity, but without long exposures, you can just indirectly control it via ISO, either way, you are maxed out at 1/7. On the bright side... the lens is very bright, offering dramatically better lit details at the same SP and ISO than the S5, Note 4 or One M9, and it makes it a solid snapper indoors. Overall camera2 API is a mixed bag at it's current state and I hope full manual control comes soon with long shutter options.
Not sure this is because of camera 2 API or not, but you guys notice you can now separate auto focus from exposure point in pro mode? You can press and hold to lock the focus point, while shifting the exposure point to elsewhere on the screen. Makes it much better while shooting in situations where background and foreground are in vastly different exposure brackets.

I Installed "Manual camera" app (compatibility app said that it would work) but it doesn't work.
"Manual camera" interface appears, turns green and freezes, and phone either reboots or app
just shuts down. Camera gets a little warm too.
Was hoping to get DNG files from S6, but doesn't look good.
Very disappointed about this.
Uninstalled app and was refunded.
Thanks for the feedback!
I tried the Manual Camera app as well and it all appeared to be working for me, until I attempted to save a RAW image. This crashed my camera and required a full reboot to resolve.

I don't think there's RAW support for any non-Nexus phone (maybe one of the Chinese ones, but not from the major OEMs).
Also, doesn't the shutter top out at 1/10 or 1/7?
Yeah when putting it into raw and gpeg you will get a crash we have to wait for Samsung to do an update . I have a feeling that the ois is the reason samsung cannot alow shutter speed variation as even dslr cameras don't use image stabilization when it's on long exposure and as ois cannot be switched of manually then this will be a problem .

Does the Nexus 10 support the camera2 api?

Does the (updated) Nexus 10 support the camera2 api?
If not, is it possible to install a custom rom to enable camera2 support?
**Entirely optional background to the question**
I'm looking for a big screen tablet that can use the RAW develop feature of snapseed and the nexus 10 seems like the perfect option - if I could just confirm it actually supports this feature
Snapseed's FAQ states that this feature works on any device that can capture RAW/DNG images - and looking into it, this is only from supporting the camera2 api.
There are lists out there of phones that can capture DNGs, but I guess not many people take photos on tablets, so the information is scarce for them
Any help on this would be much appreciated - even if its to say that it'll never work on a Nexus 10
(If anyone knows of a 9/10 inch tablet this will work on and can recommend it, I would really appreciate that as well)
Thanks!

Quick question before buying

Hey guys, does this phone work with manual camera apps? Like, can you download a manual camera app and then adjust the shutter speed, ISO, etc...?
Since it's running on Android you can install any app which is compatible with the version of Android. Simple answer is yes you could.
Yep I am running 'Open Camera' on my YD201 and latest EU build Android 5 it works just fine. Open Camera is a no bull**** tool with all the usual photographic controls, iso zoom etc. Shoots HD video, flash etc. Should work on YD206 as hardware is the same except the radio. It is not a great camera (hardware) by any means there are much better devices out there... but it is functional.

best camera app? [nougat]

Which camera apps are people using? Curious to also know what the latest version of Google Camera is that you found can work (fully) with our phone?
I managed to get 3.2 working (only 720p recording though).
Any recommendations are highly appreciated.
Hi. I'm using Google Camera 2.5.052

I have been testing out Camera zoom FX, it seems to have all the features that the N4 can use, but i don't like the way it handles HDR.
The thing is that Google Camera (at least the 3.2 version i have) is the quickest to open (<3 sec), which is something I care about.
Open Camera is also ok, while "perfectly clear" is complete **** (which i was very surprised about).
camera mx
sorry, maybe you try camera mx, I think is so good.

Does Nexus 4 support Camera 2 API to use HDR+? I doubt it but I ask just to be sure.

I never found a complete answer for this, but what i understood is that N4 does not go beyond LEGACY level for Camera 2 API. (other options being LIMITED and FULL).
This may be due to firmware issues, sensor limitation, or DSP/ISP.
So, max I think devs can do is make an app install on the N4 but none of the "extra" features will work (like manual controls, RAW images).
I did want to mention that there are apps out there that seem to "reproduce" some of the features of more modern cameras.
For example burst mode, or some exposure settings, even ISO. (e.g., Camera FV-5).
This is mainly why I asked this question here, to find out if there is a full feature packed app out there that N4 users prefer. Since most of these camera apps might have more features than the stock google cam one but the end results are crap...
Google Camera 4.1.006 seems to work fine if you have a ROM running 6.0+ (I think). I have encountered a few bugs though.

Stock camera app from LineageOS 15.1, works for me.
Latest Google Camera working on LineageOS 15.1 Android Pie
The Nexus 4 is a ARM device (arm-v7a). I tested Google Camera APKs from APKMirror on Nexus 4 running LineageOS 15.1 Android Pie. I had to manually uninstall the app between versions, otherwise the other versions refused to install.
Google Camera 4.2.035 doesn't work. Force closes on start up.
Google Camera 4.2.022 doesn't work. Force closes on start up.
Google Camera 4.1.006 works. Video @ 1080 causes app to crash. To work around this, go to settings and change video resolution to 720p.
Google Camera 3.2.045 works. To get past the tutorial, change to selfie camera. Video @ 1080 causes app to crash. To work around this, go to settings and change video resolution to 720p.
Overall v4.1.006 is the latest version that works on the Nexus 4.

[APP Port] p20 pro camera mod ROOT

All credit goes to LastStandingDroid.
I was just browsing other Kirin 960 forums and noticed that the apk
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8-pro/how-to/firmware-leak-t3760517
https://mega.nz/#!lapy2LxL!7DwzO1QQY7N5DSZi7l64V7efb8dy271CYx2jUWYdb4o
was not mentioned here in Honor 9.
I have just copied/overwritten the original HwCamera2 folder with the p20 one and it worked even without reboot.
New features include pro mode with a monochrome sensor and two options (90/120 fps) with slow-mo.
My device: Honor 9, emui 8 (360), rooted with patched boot Magisk
Just install the zip as a new module in Magisk, reboot and it works too, without having to manually overwrite the original HwCamera folder and files inside

Installed it with Magisk.
It replaced the original camera app for me, and rendered it unusable crashing on startup.
Promptly removed then rebooted again, it works again, but its name is now: "The front camera does not support panoramic shooting in landscape orientation."
Please without root
Would this app somehow modify it to go without root on Honor 9 with Android 8?
What are the advantages exactly related to the Honor 9 camera on latest B363?
The monochrome option already exists and I've noticed on the codec profile files that our Slow Motion option runs at 120fps on FHD and 240 on HD. So switching to 90/120 would be worse... Unless that camera app complements our options instead of replacing them.
(And by the way, B363 firmware also brings AR camera option)

Dunno. Maybe none. I have tested it on b360 without knowing the abovementioned features will ever be available in later builds. Moreover, it had appeared in other Kirin 960 forums, not here.

Do you really have 720p at 240 fps option on your Honor 9 ?
(I'm interested because I have a P10 and we only have 1080p @120fps available ...
Thanks

Slow Motion has 2 resolution options, 1024 and 720. And if you look at system related files (now i don't remember exactly which ones), you'll see that 1024p runs at 120 and 720p runs at 240.
