P20 Lite Manual Exposure Time Limit - Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers

Hi,
I noticed that when capturing RAW images via Camera App, the maximum exposure time is 8sec.
My phone is rooted, and I have tried several apps to see if they can overcome this limit and go beyond 8 sec. Is this possible or a hardware limitation? With my old Oneplus One, using Camera5Fv I got a maximum exposure of 60 secs!
Thanks in advance,

If you use the build in night Mode of the Huawei camera you can go up to 32 seconds. There is only one problem.
In night mode you cant use the RAW format.

This is true, but not really what I am looking for.

Would a custom ROM enable this feature? If so, can anyone recommend such a ROM.

Google camera (with night sight) for the Mate 20 Pro?

Is there a verison which works on our phones?
Isn't night sight a feature copied from Huawei? The stock app should have it already. Or something similar. If that is not what you're looking for I'm sure there will be ports eventually
I don't like Huawei camera apps selfie feature. I wish they allowed you to turn of beauty mode completely. I am also looking for the stock google camera app. The ones online don't seem to even start on the mate 20 pro :/

[9.0][stock] best and totally stable gcam for max pro m1

I have found the best and stable GCam for our beloved Max Pro M1.
It's the BCG's V6.2
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog498/
Once you install the GCam, set the base model of Front camera to Nexus 6P.
I've seen that all the gcam ports just make my face pink-ish inspite of the good lightning. I've also found a fix to it!
Go into settings (gcam) and go further into Advanced under Photo section.
Over there you'll find a saturation section for adjusting saturation.
Set the Highlight Saturation to 0.8 & Shadow Saturation to 1.2 and then you're good to go!
This gcam also does not have any grey shutter or shutter lag in Portrait mode. Everything works fine including Night Sight.

Hello after install it works and all, But I cant seem to find the shortcut icon?
"MGC_6.2.024_BSG-based_TlnNeun.apk" is the best Gcam port I've tried on this phone in terms of features and reliability.
Here's my review:
I tested "MGC_6.2.024_BSG-based_TlnNeun.apk" on Android 9. Although it has some problems, so far this is the best Gcam port I've used on this phone.
Shooting modes:
1. Camera (default)
2. Portrait
3. Panorama
4. Lens Blur
5. Video
6. Night Sight
7. Photo Sphere
8. Google Lens
The modes I care about (1-6) all work.
Here are the problems I've discovered so far:
1. Hardware details
When photos are produced by this app, sometimes the information embedded in the photo files incorrectly identifies my phone as a Huawei phone, and incorrectly identifies my camera as "Huawei ASUS_X00TD." (This is an Asus phone; it has nothing to do with Huawei.)
Strangely, sometimes the photos produced by the app will instead say that the camera used to shoot them is "asus ASUS_X00TD," which is correct. (X00TD is the generic model code for this kind of phone by Asus, and my global 4 GB variant of the phone specifically has model code X00TDB.)
To me, these inconsistent details are irrelevant.
2. Location (Coordinates) Details
By default, Location Saving was enabled by the app. However, this data did not actually save to any of the photos produced by the app. It was only after manually disabling Location within the app and then re-enabling it that the app eventually saved this data to photos.
I do care about having Location details saved to photos. Although the feature is buggy and does not work as it should by default, it thankfully can work reliably once you fiddle with it.
3. App crashes
I discovered two ways to inadvertently crash the app.
First, turning off HDR causes the app to crash with a "Camera keeps stopping error."
Fortunately, once you re-start the app, HDR is disabled and you don't see that error anymore. Presumably HDR is actually disabled until manually re-enabled by the user.
The second way I crashed the app was by going into Settings and then clicking on Help. This produced the same fatal error as disabling HDR. The app thankfully works fine once you re-start it, so the fatal crash will not recur unless you repeat your actions.
Hardware: Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1, model X00TDB (the 4 GB global variant of the phone)
Operating System: Android 9 (AospExtended-v6.6-X00TD-20190819-1346-OFFICIAL.zip)

Sorry, your message is not clear. I don't understand you, but it seems like you're having problems using the camera app on your Max Pro M1.
If English is not your first language, maybe try posting your message in your native language, as someone may understand it. Alternatively, maybe someone can translate for you.
I've had varying degrees of success with these Google Camera ports on my Max Pro M1:
trCamera_V1.1_Eugene_Onegin
PMGC_7.2.014_Zoom_V4
MGC_6.2.024_BSG-based_TlnNeun
MGC_7.3.020_Parrot043-v2

I don't think any Gcam app will work until you enable Camera 2 API or install a custom ROM.
Why don't you enable Camera 2 API? It's not so difficult to do if you have a computer and have successfully installed the ADB program and the generic USB driver for Android phones.

stock camera keeps stopping

Hello,
I recently got a mi a3.
Today the stock camera ''keeps stopping'' , I can still use open camera and Google camera redmi note 7 port by BSG. I installed the last update with 5 July security patch yesterday maybe it's linked.
Does anyone have the same problem ?
Does anyone know if we can use the wide angle camera with an other app ?
I don't have that kind of issues on latest security updates...stock camera work fine here...try clearing stock camera data and cache first...

I already tried that :/ Even with safe reboot it doesn't work.
I'm going to factory reset.
I'm having the same issue. Also, the camera is very laggy, whenever I click a photo the camera takes 1 or 2 seconds to respond.

Yaaaaay It worked perfectly. Tnxxxxx
Just open settings -> search "Usage access" -> tap on the result -> choose "usage access" from list -> allow camera. DONE
(It's suspicious why camera needs usage access tho!!!!)

Camera issue with preinstalled Xiaomi camera app

This issue already applies to the 2nd phone I ordered. If I use the camera app with the standard photo mode with the main lens I cant manually change exposure nor can I take pictures while manually focusing. I have to wait until the focus is done and then after 2-3 second I am able to take photos.
This issue isnt present when using Gcam or some generic HD camera apps from the google playstore which leads me to think that it might be a bug indeed. I am not alone with this issue since I found at least 2 other people in german forums who mentioned the same. Is this something anyone from here experienced as well?
Mine shoot almost instantly when I adjust the focus and exposure on standard mode. I'm using Redmi Note 9S latest global version (11.0.7.0 QJWMIXM)

[Possible solution] Nokia 6.1 plus October 2020 update crash

Hi there.
device = nokia 6.1 plus
updates = security 1 october 2020
bootloader = locked
gcam = lates MGC_8.xxxx
I've worked around to track my Nokia behaviour. after last update i have this problem.:
1. When media volume maximum, playing any youtube content makes the phone crashes.
2. create a new post on Instagram also crash
3. take video or several photos with gcam also crash it.
4. take any video with gcam also crash
so here is the solution i found :
1. go to developer option
2. go to limit background process
3. change the value from auto to no limit or biggest value.
I've recreated all possible way to crash my phone that happened before. all is good now.
i realize it when tweaking the gcam. gcam hdr crash, due to battery optimization, therefore it needs to be deactivated.
so i think the android 10 on Nokia maybe crash due to similar reason.
hope i am right and help you.

You know what?
The best thing you can do to fix that PERMANENTLY is unlocking the bootloader and then install custom rom
After i unlocked my bootloader the problems like random restart, ui freeze, gcam bugs is gone, no need to tweak your gcam from dev option

I have mainly problem of Gcam getting struck at Processing which never ends. So only doing battery optimization will solve my problem?
Rite now using parrot043 version. Is BSG version 8.0 much better?
