RAW / DNG support ?

Hello, im surprise that international CM12.1 version do not have RAW/DNG support as OnePlus One did have.
Anybody knows if zuk z1 will have this function ?
It doesn't have 4k recording either.. CM keeps adding new stuff to their hardware, the OPO didn't have RAW support at first and was added when Lollipop came if I remember well. They may include it later but who knows
Yes, two weeks with that phone and realize its just cyanogen marketing.
Its not a phone for me. Cyanogen lacks of constistancy, why dng support with opo and not with z1, its strange since it is the same hardware.
Why a fingerprint with nom NFC ?
The update to marshmallow will be in 6 month, if there is.
I m going to sell it and go to nexus 5 (dng and update, but poor battery), innos d6000 (gorgeous battery, great camera with large pixel, think pour update) or honor 7.
Guys pls download the Paid version of camera Fv-5 and check whether it supports raw imaging on zuk z1... Post your results here guys ...

google Lens support for more phones.

Hello,
I've just read that Google is pushing Lens (assistant/photos feature) to more phones outside Google's one. But so far I can not find any word about ZTE phones that will get it. Also I've read info about strict "camera specification and features" that are a need to get lens. Do you have any clues or smth about GLens availability on Axon 7 Nougat or Oreo ?
Update.
Camera 2 API is mandatory so wish we will get it with Oreo

AEX has Camera2 sorta working. We got HDR+ enhanced on the front camera (not in the back one) and AR stickers work, also bokeh but it adds a lot of tiny lines

IS there any Gyroscope?

So I got this early Max Pro M1 unit from ASUS and it does not have Gyroscope. ASUS Officials said that Gyroscopy is available on the retail unit. They also told me that they would release a firmware to activate the gyro, but until now, my gyro is not activated, even on the latest 30 April firmware (249)... So, do you guys have the gyro in your Max Pro M1?
Well it has I think. At least aida64 screenshot from one of the user from Indonesia says that it has gyro. Anyways what you mean by 30th April update? Did you received an ota recently? Btw you can join us on telegram for more instant conversation. t.me/ZFMaxpro
The latest update shows improvements in gyroscope as its description. So it will surely have.
No. I also don't have VR facility on my mobile. I am using Asus Zenfone Pro M1. I could play 360-degree video(offline). but we can not install google cardboard app.
Hey it does have a Gyroscope. Here look at the Screenshot I've clicked while checking sensors using CPU-Z app. Maybe they haven't enabled it for Cardboard app and may enable after tweaking software.
Turns out my unit is a beta testing unit... Now I have the retail version and it has Gyro... Case closed
I also got early batch of this phone, now already on 305 f/w.
Is there any way to activate gyro, is it s/w or h/w related issue?

API2 will be available for mi a2

Miui 10 got update with new camera APIs which is gonna be there for all. It is available in China now. I am sure Mi A2 will also get it in coming updates... Then we can enjoy the camera of This phone properly... Please correct if this news is wrong.
MIUI and Google One do not have anything in common, so I can not connect your expectation as relevant.
Incorrect
Right, well I don't know what your situation is with modding your Mi A2, but I discovered that after you've unlocked the bootloader & installed Magisk Root that if the flash this "MiUi Camera All Features" Magisk Module from another thread, this enables The Full level 3 Camera 2 API:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/themes/miui-camara-features-magisk-t3841269
This is a fantastic upgrade over the stock MiA2 camera app in itself. Xiaomi basically gimped the camera's features, as to not upstage much more expensive Xiaomi phones and this releases them such as 4k30p front video recording and enhanced HDR Pro Modes which work brilliantly.
However, the upshot of flashing this enabling Camera 2 is amazing for this reason. Just today I've been testing @Arnova8G2 's port of the Pixel 3 app and the HDR+ Enhanced is next level stuff. Portrait mode, front & back ,is also working fine. RAW file capture is also working. Gonna test out Nightsight tonight. You get a green screen through the viewfinder, but the shots do actually work. Only thing not working for me is slow mo....

Google said that the camera2api is coming with Android Pie. It is not present in the current beta but it might be later.

If you're referring to the 'Camera 2 API Will be enabled in android Pie CONFIRMED' thread, then the following is exactly what was said:
"Starting with Android Pie, newly launching devices are expected to have newer camera HAL versions, which will enable better support for camera2."
Does that include the A2? Because it's not a "newly launching device". And the statement implies, imho, it will be newly launching devices that launch with Pie.
That's not the A2. I wish they would enable it. but that statement above is a reach to believe "Google said that the camera2api is coming with Android Pie". they said newly launching, not upgraded to.
If Xiaomi giving camera 2 API in miui 10 update to its all phone then there is no reason that Xiaomi will not give it to mi A2. I am pretty confident that with the demand and competition Xiaomi will provide this feature to this device shortly.
Don't create a thread affirming something that you have no proof of.
Google is expanding their camera development, and that is the one of the main parts and improvements of PIE it self, to support multi cameras for example, you can read all about that on the official Android PIE page, but that doesn't mean nothing for us, unfortunately.
"Multi-camera support and camera updates
On devices running Android 9, you can access streams simultaneously from two or more physical cameras. On devices with either dual-front or dual-back cameras, you can create innovative features not possible with just a single camera, such as seamless zoom, bokeh, and stereo vision. The API also lets you call a logical or fused camera stream that automatically switches between two or more cameras.
Other improvements in camera include additional Session parameters that help to reduce delays during initial capture, and surface sharing that lets camera clients handle various use cases without the need to stop and start camera streaming. We've also added APIs for display-based flash support and access to OIS timestamps for app-level image stabilization and special effects.
In Android 9 the multi-camera API supports monochrome cameras for devices with FULL or LIMITED capability. Monochrome output is achieved via the YUV_420_888 format with Y as grayscale, U (Cb) as 128, and V (Cr) as 128.
Android 9 also enables support for external USB/UVC cameras on supported devices."

I have Mi A1, they haven't even provided the new camera app of MIUI 10, you are expecting too much, otherwise disappointment is sure.
Guys, by my post I am not affirming anything. I read some news about camera 2 API being enabled by Xiaomi for all its phones by miui 10 update and that has already been released for China.. so I am just trying to say that the probability of getting camera 2 API for this phone are very high now. In android pie or in coming updates we could get it. So no affirmative post but high probability post. Thanks

Mi A1's cameras are a disgrace tho, reason why I waited and got Mi A2.
OP : " I am not affirming anything"

He's right. I saw the thread too in mi community. If Xiaomi enables c2api to Miui devices there's no doubt that they won't enable it to Mi a2

The mods won't bother to change something you can change yourself.
Bring up the original thread, click edit, then click 'Advanced'.
It will then allow you to change the title.

Not satisfied with XDA devs

I know this is a noob question or rant
But isn't max pro m2 have similar camera sensor used in Zenfone 5 or 5z which provides so many camera features
RAW support,full manual support, AI charging and lots more
I known we can't have all this in max pro m2 but we can have some feature in max pro m2 since it uses SD660 and zenfone 5 uses SD636 and zenfone 5 offer so more
Why can't we root max pro m2 and install zenfone 5 ROM to get most of its features
I am really disappointed with the camera development group
I know its not easy to develop anything from scratch but cmon enable camera2api for just GCAM it only just amps up the brightness with algorithms
Why can't we get full manual control of the camera of a phone which have such better hardware both in terms of sensor and processor
Enable camera2api and we can't get shutter speed above 1/4 sec or iso of 50 or RAW support
Why can't we have all this feature in one app even after enable camera2api on rooted max pro m2
I am not writhing this to trash anyone but can't we all come together to make this phone a better in terms of camera and battery where we can fully utilize the hardware capability
Cmom you guys are XDA developer
There is raw support in gcam.
But u can't have manual control like iso,shutter speed in gcam and gcam is kind of not that great where as u can get amazing result in full manual control+ RAW
I found this post stupid, i believe that the devs is still working on it. If you got nothing good to share please stay quite.
They are deeply sorry and are offering a full refund if you submit the receipt . Oh wait.
