Hello
I'm trying to enable camera2api on my redmi 3 pro with lineage os 14.1.
I have correctly edited the file build.prop with persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1 but when i try to test with the app "manual camera test" i have the message "your device doesn't support....."

What can i do?
Thanks

Try installing a module for magisk called Camera2Api - it fixed an issue with lack of support in app permissions as for me but there's still a problem with apps that stop working after few tries and you gotta restart your device so it's better to just use FV-5 Camera and rice up the HAL to fake support.

Snap 616 doesn't have any camera2api/hal3 driver in existence. No way you can use gcam. Not a single rom, even android Q won't help in this situation.

With one custom kernel I managed to get the gcam working on 14.1 so your argument may be false as of HDR+ was supported as well as RAW capture.

If the app launches, it doesn't mean the functionality is working. IDK about raw, but the HDR+ I managed to get in gcam on custom roms was just a regular photo (same quality and same size)
