Hi everyone
I would like to know why our camera doesn't support long shutter speed (30-60 secs), I know it's a limitation of camera2API, but isn't there a way to edit those drivers so we can make it possible? I mean, what's the difference between 1 sec shutter speed (which is aviable for the moment only with the stock camera app in night mode) and 30 seconds shutter speed? I guess the sensor would be able to behave in such a way and since Sony refuses to modify their drivers, would it be too difficult (or impossible) for a developer to activate this feature? I would pay gold for it :fingers-crossed:
I think you should talk with @mkdmc or @[email protected] users. They're developers who know about this things. I invite to you to search their camera mods to see their jobs in http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony-themes-apps
Still
I've already seen their mods, but as far as I've seen the limitation is still there: 1 seconds... Anyway thanks for answering, will try to contact them for sure

Yeah that's why i comment you, ask them for your question. I think it's not that easy to make the limitation out, but maybe it's a chance with Nougat. Hope the developers find the way to make the good z5 camera work with better functions.
Can't understand why Sony doesn't allow this and also the ability to capture RAW pictures... There is popular demand all over the internet! Maybe it's because they're selling external qx cameras... who knows

Yeah it is a pity because imx 300 is a good sensor, not the best for low light but still good. It's funny because if they won't bring more manual controls for qx cameras, they at least should put Raw in those products, but no, only jpeg xD. Whatever, i really trust in developers of XDA because they're hardly working for bring us what Sony should do initially.
Its a shame as soon as you post a thread wondering why / when sony will get RAW support they remove the post instantly. I loved this phone until the camera support started to get sucky.
We need dev's who can modify the camera blobs (Which will of course take ages since they are not open source)
So, I tried to contact mkdmc and [email protected] as you @SebastianAlejandro suggested me to.
So far mkdmc didn't answer me and I doubt he will ever do so, while [email protected] did, something like a month ago, telling me that he would have talked to other developers about my request (longer shutter speed).
So I'm hoping to get an answer, but it will probably come after Christmas holidays, maybe when Nougat will be released. I'll keep you informed?

Thanks for the info. I really hope that Nougat will unlock all possibilities for the camera. peter.schwake says that new updates maybe will come in this days so let's wait what news he bring to us.

Seems like Nougat didn't give too much improvement about this so far? haha. Do you have any news?
Anyway I found this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/themes-apps/apk-lcamera-longer-exposure-shooting-t3516152
Wondering if it would work on our device too
If someone is still interested, I update to tell you that maybe long exposures are possible on aosp roms, with the help of "Freedcam" (defcomg developer). If I'll be able to, I will try by myself.
If available, can you please provide me a link on how to install it?
There is none and wont ever be for this phone. Never anything gets to stable state for this device devs just keep moving on to *new builds*. Either inexperianced devs try to build custom roms and fail then abondon project or they switch to other projects

Damn, I'm sad to hear that, since this phone has so much potential but the fact that nobody cares about it just kills me.

Not really... Sony is the one giving them AOSP base that they just compile and show here as work in progress... But when it comes to fixing they just dump it sad truth. Other phones with same hardware already have custom roms

Let me explain you, Sony barely supports us; this phone was never officially supported in the open devices program, and there was times when we could boot aosp roms, but mostly they don't boot. Why? We don't pretty much know, but what we do know is that this is a crappy phone for reasons that I can't tell you. So, the best you could do is wait, and understand the devs because they are surely working, and if you want news, stop bothering them, and check out their git accounts.
Finally, you just have to know that we are not magicians, we work with what we are given.
So Android P rolled out, and I was wondering, we've been blessed with devs work and got every great update and tons of rom for this device. And was wondering is there by any chance getting Android P based roms in future. Also I was specially wondering about RR, because I like that a rom alot.
Well will we be getting android P, or I shouldn't get my hopes up?
Just wait patiently. The sources are available, just wait until a dev cooks a build for kenzo. Or when proper GSIs will be available.
Sure thing buddy, by any chance you also want VoLTE and 10 hours SOT?
Nobody maintains Kenzo for income, just because they feel like sparing time, for crying out loud it was just formally announced today, so if you want P go ahead and build it on your own.
Just stop this kind of threads, they are just spam.

Could like please take your hate and get the hell out of this thread.
Like seriously, I'm just genuinely asking a question, so its not a spam, and I asked BECAUSE P came out today. If you don't wanna answer just ignore this, not a hard thing to do.

Sorry, the devs need income and now the devs like @rocknegi have started p**n for ₹50/day or ₹200/month cause the users aren't donating enough money.
If they get enough income from p**n selling, they will develop Android P for you.

Yeah I saw that as well. Look I just wanted to know of there was a possibility of kenzo getting a p, coz yk, this is pretty old device.

I know but just use some sense? We are not devs, we are normal users like you. How do we all users know if a dev can develop Android P. Plus, do you think a dev will announce 'Hey Niggas, I'll develop Android P rom for you all niggas asking for it, wait for few hours:. No?
The dev need to look into the source, need time to see what all bugs needs to be fixed, else users like you will come here and say it's buggy, that doesn't work, this doesn't work right?
Another sensible answer: Android P sources are just released. It's not like magic to develop rom directly from the source. Needs a lot of hack, back port blobs and things we don't even understand.
Summary: it's a redundant question as of now. Please wait, if there's a Android P rom, you will see it here. Till than, enjoy other roms.

As a user of redmi note 3 . i just hope dev make android p for this device.
As one of the lineage 15.1 maker for Redmi Note 3, yep, we will do bringup after 9.0 source code release, and should be easier than Oreo, as Pie impacted a lot of backport comparable, please don't ask lots of annoying OTA, follow XDA rule, P will be coming to Kenzo/Kate after sometimes, but for Treble is more harder as blobs are old, we need to wait hydrogen and suzu devices etc updates for new blobs, for more Treble working, and even CAF for msm8952 board not impacted treble, unlike msm8953 board, so treble now is experimental and don't expect stable treble in a short time.
---------- Post added at 03:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:56 PM ----------
And for my lineage 15.1 long time no updates because I teams with @Carlos Arriaga, and he is back in July so I and other team members need to do some updates, my 15.1 new build will release soon

Thanks for this reply. Won't be asking for annoying updates, just wanted to know that is all.
Well, speaking of Android Pie development, I've found a Pixel Experience ROM that is based on Android Pie through a Telegram channel
Known broken features:
• Bluetooth
• VoLTE
• Stock camera app, but the camera works for stills and video (Open Camera)

(link: http://t.me/KenzoRoms_News) t.me/KenzoRoms_News
(link: http://t.me/kenzoromnews) t.me/kenzoromnews
NOTA BENE: Try it at your own risk, as it is not developed by me, but if you want to download it and try it, here's the link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1KqyUEdUgtW5coyoTlHuuN0Y2Jt1aKnn-
Yep. I've been using the Pixel Experience 9.0 from @thestrechh as my daily driver for a couple days now.
It's usable if you can get by without VoLTE and Bluetooth.
Gcam works, but can't change the settings and it crashes a lot. Front and back camera stills and video all working.
The rom feels pretty buggy and a bit sluggish to me. CPU operations seem to take an unusually long time. Maybe all the cores are not being utilized optimally. (Don't know. I haven't actually tested.)
I'm sure this rom will continue to get better and better in the coming days. I'm anxious to dirty flash the coming updates.
Excellent work by @thestrechh.

I've not noticed sluggish performance here, but I have noticed bugs here and there, which is par for the course, considering the infantile state of Android Pie development.
Still though, for an early release, it works almost excellently

The bug of battery drain in standby (mobile network) apear in Android PIE like Oreo?
Can you share battery stats?
Thanks

did you have the Pixel Setup crashing after flashing this rom? if you do, what's the solution?
Hello Devs! We as a community would love to have an OxygenOS port for our device, I know there's a GSI version it works great performance-wise, but has three main issues:
1- Fingerprint not working at all.
2- Front camera motor is not working (kinda), somebody made an app which you can open and close the front cam's motor but that's really inconvenient.
3- Battery Performance (I think), I'm sure Including a custom kernel like Vantom would fix this issue.
I think those issues are easily fixable if somebody took it a bit seriously.
Vote in the poll if you think we need this port
Thanks! and I really hope to see a port soon <3
It would be awesome, it seems a really good OS! But who could take the effort to do it?

You need to request on the OxygenOS thread i think.
Optimal is to learn how to port as i think if a dev care, we would get it already, you know?
davinci has few developers interested in AOSP roms, let alone a Port OxygenOS
Oxygen OS Android 11 For Redmi K20/Mi9T Review
Today XDA's Aamir Siddiqui posted an Article on how Poco, even though they promised to do so, still haven't released the Kernel Source for our Poco X3 yet.
So far the Developers are doing an amazing Job in providing us Users with already very well working Custom ROM Options.
But, of course, complete sources, as promised, would be very welcome.
A couple of guys have already tweeted at Poco quoting the following Article.
Maybe we could boost that message a little, to speed up that process to get the Sources.
Of course I don't really mean that we should annoy the shi* out of them or be rude, but maybe a little reminder, from their users, might help.
Tweet: https://twitter.com/xdadevelopers/status/1327165355979059200
I for one, fully agree. Sadly, though, I'm not on Twitter. :good:
Another appropriate venue for this gentle pressure would be the official forum at https://c.mi.com/forum-2861-1.html.
Can you document other Twitter posts here? They would come handy as templates and indicators...
.
Gizchina now posted an article about it as well.

Do you guys really believed that a company that makes you wait one week to unlock the bootloader will give you the kernel source right away?
I don't go by what I believe, I go by what they said.
That being said. No, I don't believe that.
Sill, it doesn't hurt to ask and remind them again. Worst case, nothing happens, best case, it helped a little.

They did so before, dunno what's keeping them from doing it now.
Maybe because of Dynamic Partitions?

Looks like we have annoyed them enough and they finally released it, thank god
Maybe. ?
Not sure if there is a correlation, but I'm sure it definitely didn't hurt. I'm just glad we have them now.
