DnG Raw capture on a cm13 (or perhaps an other AOSP based MM) rom

[Gabbbbbbb]

Hi!

I'm looking for a solution for dng raw capture whilst running CM. (currently using the TS rom, but I wouldn't mind swapping for this) I tried the Oppo camera located elsewhere on XDA, but the raw module is only producing jpegs. I know that it's possible, because FreeDcam is creating perfectly working good dng files on the mi4c, the problem is that it's not focusing well on my unit (aka it gets the focus wrong 85%+ of the time) The Snapdragon camera supplied with the current TS cm13 version has raw capture, except the .raw files created cannot be opened with anything Did anyone have any success at all creating readable raw files on the mi4c?

Try the new freedcam alpha on G+ Group Focus Has been fixed

Yeah I already tested it. It's an improvement, but it's still slow & unreliable opposed to any other camera app that I've tried. (I do understand that the app is still in alpha, the fact that the raw capture works on the mi4c is already fantastic by itself)

how about manual camera app?

Manual Camera needs camera api2 to do this, which the Mi4c does not support.

ohh..i see. :good:

Camera does support api2, the xiaomi camera driver has this feature locked for unknown reason

Don't know if OP has seen the reply to his other post:

According to him, Bacon camera works on Android 5.1-based MiUI. I guess you can try CM12.

I've seen it, but I REALLY don't want to downgrade from Marshmallow.

How are you getting .dng support with freedcam ?I'm using emfox's build cm13 and I'm getting .raw and jpeg options no dng

I can only choose jpeg or dng on TS cm13.

.dng is a "standard" Raw format. There is no .raw files.

i don't understand your comment. I know what dng is and i also know that there is a qualcomm .raw format that for example Snapdragon camera uses. FreedCam supposedly converts that format in app to dng.

Can we convert snapdragon camera's .raw to dng ?

Sorry I didn't know that...
On OPO (SD inside ) , it's a DNG file.

The definition or Raw, is "raw data".
To convert, there is adobe DNG converter. But it's just if your development software does'nt support your raws.

Nope. Unless someone ports freedcam's source code to do that. I tried many things to make snap raws work for me, but the best outcome was a rough outline of my subject with weird lines and colors.

you too can swap to TS cm13 and use FreeDcam.
