Api camera2

Thank for this new release.
My questions:
Are camera api 2 suported in LineageOS16? Are they supported in AOSP 9?
Thank you

 

[AdrianDC]

Thank for this new release.
My questions:
Are camera api 2 suported in LineageOS16? Are they supported in AOSP 9?
Thank you

The Camera API 2 is not something that has to be supported by the ROM
(a Google search would show you it exists since Android 5.0 Lollipop),
but by the Camera stack implemented by the phone's manufacturer upon release.

The Sony 8960 devices' camera stack is the old closed-sources custom HAL1 camera stack
developed by Sony up to 2013-2014, based on the legacy SEMC (Sony Ericsson) HAL1 camera stack.

We spent massive amounts of time over the years & Android releases just to keep this HAL1 alive across the boards.

AdrianDC Thank you for your work!

[Pitagoras2000]

Turn off data with terminal

for whom encounter battery drain:
In my phone (xperia v with L16) when I turn off data, shown turned off in settings but really don not turn off when I'm clicking data in settings or notification.
however

1- root your phone
2- enable developer options
3- enable local terminal in developer options
4- give root access to apps and if you want adb
5- go to local terminal app from menu
6- type su in terminal and give permission to terminal
7- type svc data disblae (to disable data!!) you can enable data with this command: svc data enable

note when enter above command if appear killed this mean you are not su

hi tanx for new update 20191011 after install this update camera and led flash broken (unworked).please sove this problem
tanx for solve notification light in this update:svetius:

 

[theunlucky]

I upgraded my XT to LineageOS16 (thaks @AdrianDC!!!) - currently, I'm testing if certain apps are running with open bootloader and customROM, before upgrading my Nexus5X (main phone).

Q: does the Xperia T "forward" infos about the bootloader, or is the XT one of these phones who "pass" safetynet automatically?

But the image runs smoothly and GREAT. My aging XT is in mint condition again (pun intended

Here the same Problem with camera. After installing Open Camera there came an error: Camera is used by another Programm.
Looks like a driver error.

The XV with Pie=Great job!!!!

Greetings

 

[g440i]

I'd like to ask is it possible to upgrade the kernel from the 3.x to 4.x? I don't know if upgrading the kernel can help to improve the battery life.

 

[Yakoli]

i like adaptive brightness.
but when adaptive brightness is on and i set brightness level to end level after restart phone brightness level goes back previous level and should set again but in oreo rom it was ok.

[hasan.sy]

I have galaxy S3 d2tmo with same chipset (msm8960)and screen resolution but 2 GB ram ,I have los14.1 can any one help me to get Los 16.0 or even 15.1 for my device lo'

 

[alexenferman]

Hi,

I really like your fantastic work you did with these devices, especially the xperia V. It would be awesome if you could help us a bit to port your kernel source for the xperia T/V (msm8960) to bring at least a working Oreo kernel source to our device (Samsung Galaxy S3 d2att or d2mo...). This device currently has a stable cm-14.1 kernel branch. I have been trying to play with it and made a bit more progress but it still runs on a lot of errors... As always, there is no obligation.

Thanks, help is appreciated!
