Camera2 API on Moto G5S Plus

[~cyandrew]

Has anyone tried enabling the Camera2 API on this device? Just found out that g5s plus doesn't have camera2 api, which pretty much sucks since this phone is able to use manual mode. I haven't tried it yet because my device isn't rooted and I don't have stock firmware (XT1805). For those who want to try, just make sure you are rooted and have a build.prop editor then add this line persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1. Give your feedback if it works.

Mine came with full Camera2 support out of the box. XT1806, US model.

Same, 4gb/64GB XT1806 had this working out the box.

Really? May I see your build.prop?

I didn't had it but using custom ROM with beans gapps makes Google camera works partially on XT 1804 it didn't had API2 by default on stock ROM duh it sux that XT1806 got API2 enabled by default and other models doesn't

Kinda unfair of what Moto did.
When I took a test from Camera2 Probe app, it returned this result. I don't know if this means that my phone has Camera2 enabled, all I know is it's supposed to be "Full" instead of "Level 3"

No level 3 means the best it gives full and plus access to Camera 2 API but the problem is you can't find single application that supports this level of access through system library SD 625 got hexagon 500 too so basically if someone spend enough time on Google camera than he/she might be able to successfully port fully supported Google camera with slow mo upto 120 fps , RAW support and HDR+ too not sure about ZSL
And I saw all Moto g5s plus models supports camera2 but it's not enabled for some models while some have it enabled outta box

Wow, I have so much to learn. So that means that our only hope in taking better pictures is for moto to optimize the camera software? It's been a while since the last update of Camera Tuner, Moto Camera 2 was recently updated though.

Well I found this today it got few mods of Google camera which works on arm 32Bit too try the camera which says arm-arm64 only those will work with Moto g5s+

> I tried normal one high quality jpeg and raw one and, (All can be considered as beta apps cause they force close at some point)

> I can say high quality jpeg is good high noise reduction and decent pics close to natural colors in pics somewhat and,
> RAW is good too if u don't mind RGB color on blue side no natural colors in pics as it's more on blue side it's also lil more saturated in colors, noise reduction is mid lvl on HDR+RAW+JPEG (u have to enable this option in setting Menu of camera) and noise reduction is high on turning off HDR+ but it's still decent when u take nature's pic out side in daylight
> normal one sux it got so much noise in pics no clear pics in short makes it feels like we r using some cheap camera

Thanks for posting that screen grab of Camera2 Probe app! I was going to open a thread asking about the Camera2 API support level of the G5S Plus when I came across this. I'm interested in pro video recording apps and an app like "Filmic Pro" needs the device to have either "Full" or "Level 3" support, otherwise you can't even install the app. From what I learned about the G5 Plus it only had "Legacy" support level (the worst) which was very unfortunate but judging from your screen shot of the G5S Plus, Motorola/Lenovo finally upped their game!

I think if in this level 3 is possible to increase more lens aperture.

Currently our G5S Plus have 3,2 secs, no more.

In G5 Plus, other dev put 30 secs with magisk module, take wonderful night pics.
