Hi there.

I have LG G2 (D802) and every time I'm trying to take photo with Mi2Raw I'm getting error "This ROM or kernel isn't supported. The app won't work on it". I have 4.2.2 Android version, rooted, stock ROM, Xposed installed with G2 Xposed, GravityBox, G2 Settings and Greenify. No other modifications.

Mi2Raw saves only DNG files, each one has size of 128 KB and contains only thumbnail of scenery.

DNG file packed to ZIP and attached.
[G2 Themes and Apps] 60nine:
1st thing that comes in mind is - this app works only on kitkat and you're on jellybean... [MENTION=4912994]solfx[/MENTION] - correct me if i'm wrong
[G2 Themes and Apps] dandy_bestia:
I do a quick ISO comparison

[G2 Themes and Apps] Huskehn:
I can confirm that this works amazingly, especially after some processing in Adobe Lightroom!

Here's a comparison between the stock camera, Mi2RAW, and Mi2RAW after being touched up (processed) in Lightroom.

Suggestions

1.Manual exposure time

2.flash focus-flash only activates when focusing

3.manual white balance(according to color temperature)

4.when the app opens make the brightness to 100% and back to normal after quitting

5.light metering (i donno whether this will make pics good or not :))

6.i think guys will prefer the "show clipping" before taking the shot,maybe after focusing or just touching the shutter key would show clipping and releasing it would take the pic

PS-your app is absolutely amazing sir, i use it with adobe camera raw and imagenomic noiseware-it just gives the best picture..

Your edit seems to have lost a lot of the shadow detail that was present in the RAW and the Stock camera. But the stock camera seems to have made everything look like a watercolor painting especially the leaves.
[G2 Themes and Apps] Bwyan Benton:
Looking at it there's barely any shadow detail that would be important enough to show. I'd like to see the histogram for the edit tho.
[G2 Themes and Apps] akshaypatil869:
White balance is always manual when using raw, what do you exactly mean?
[G2 Themes and Apps] staticx57:
When you open up a DNG/(pick your RAW file type) do you not always have a starting white balance? True you can select it later but for the same of composing and the initial edit having a preset white balance is always helpful
[G2 Themes and Apps] geoemm:
i know it can be edited to exactly the way it was, but sometimes we forget the color temperature of the environment. i think this setting will help us to make the color temp as close to the reality so that postprocessing can be minimal..

miui6 default cam(shutter speed-2sec,iso 800)-http://imgur.com/qGg6PBR

i can just imagine the quality of a raw image with manual shutter speed :p
[G2 Themes and Apps] 60nine:
shutter speeds slower than 1/30 sec are good only if you take pictures using a tripod... else - blur caused by hand shaking...
[G2 Themes and Apps] dandy_bestia:
Also would be great to have a touch manual focus ring! :)
[G2 Themes and Apps] geoemm:
true,but hey i took that 2sec pic handheld,guess i should have joined army and become a sniper :P
[G2 Themes and Apps] 60nine:
lol... but i really don't wanna go in the detail about sharpness and the detail of your picture ;)

it's known that steadiest hand may handle shutter speed as fast as 1/15 sec, everything slower will be noticeable blurry, out of focus etc... 2 second exposure from hand and with clear picture = impossible (even in dslr photography)...

it might look ok at the first glance, but you go into detail, the things i mentioned above would be noticeable

btw how did you get 2 second exposure anyway?
[G2 Themes and Apps] geoemm:
the feature is there in the newest miui6 rom default cam
[G2 Themes and Apps] dandy_bestia:
Last comparison among the stock camera & Mi2RAW

both untouched shots in low light with all the ISO range... damn LG's algorithms!! :eek:

//flic.kr/p/pvHvDe
[G2 Themes and Apps] staticx57:
In low light can you and try and correct for the TERRIBLE chroma noise? The G2 is the only raw file that I cannot remove the chroma noise in. With adobe camera raw strength at 100 and detail at 0 there is an insane amount of chroma noise that just ruins everything. This is evident in your 400+ ISO and really evident in the 1600 ISO.
[G2 Themes and Apps] dandy_bestia:
really strange, this is the result on noise reduction flic.kr/p/pw4hPB

Camera Raw n/r result looks acceptable.. even better then lightroom one
[G2 Themes and Apps] staticx57:
Indeed, camera raw 7.3 completely fixes it with no loss of detail. Those are the results I want but with LR5 :D

So after upgrade to 4.4.2 Mi2raw work flawlessly. Sadly it doesn't seem to work with Jellybean :(

Installed Mi2Raw on my Xiaomi Mi2 32GB with CM 11. It works but the photos have a yellow tint..

Is there a way to solve this? (I know that I can adjust them with dng software manipulation, but I would like better pictures)

Sorry my English :o
[G2 Themes and Apps] solfx:
I was able to find there only this link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2Sme_EwIhBjLUJRX1hxMkEyVU0/edit

Which contains only the JPG results of the processed DNGs and not the DNGs themselves...

There is no 'better raw', because raw is raw... Adjust your white balance.

Anyway, please read about raw image format. Otherwise, use the standard camera.

Hello.

These 2 pictures i take last weekend when i was on Atuoshow in Nitra, Slovakia on Exhibition Messe Agrokomplex.

Pictures are edited with Zoner photo studio 17.
[G2 Themes and Apps] solfx:
Thanks, there are several useful things I can take from it. I'll work on it.

Manual focus will be soon (not sure about next version though), but my main effort now is to port it to G3.

Same sensor and SoC doesn't guarntee it... It may be blocked in the driver.

I sent you a PM for testing.

Edge Blur?

I've noticed that when I take wide angle shots, the sharpness near the edges are more blurred out while using mi2raw compared to the Xcam app. Am I the only one who gets this issue?

P.S. I use "tap to focus".
[G2 Themes and Apps] Dewsy:
That's correct. And let me add the cromatic abberration, he lens disortion, the horrble vignetting, he false colors (specially the green), the lots of noise and the low low low sharpness..

That's because our phones have crappy cameras, and the software makes a lot of touchUP to the raw data while compresses t to .jpg. The thing is, that RAW are not pictures, they are a bunch of data, wich cames out of th sensor. So all the things what the software did automatically with it, you have to do yourself, to get a picture. It's like a digital negative. But you make the picture manually.

The thing what most people don't understand is that raw is NOT a miracle, and not a better picture. It'S an opurtunity to the photographer to take all control over the photo creating procedure. IT has more data to work with than jpegs, but it has more work with it, than jpegs...
[G2 Themes and Apps] br0adband:
Just found this app a short time ago and I've been out taking a bunch of test images, still getting my feet wet (so to speak) dealing with RAW image data - I know it's not "pictures" so it does take some getting used to. I grabbed the trial version of Photoshop CC 2014 and I'm tinkering around with it to see what's possible. The one thing that I've noted is that if I just use Mi2raw as is, meaning I don't adjust anything at all and use the defaults, the sharpness of most every pic I'm taking just doesn't seem to be all that great, everything seems to have an incredibly tiny amount of blurring to it.

I'm guessing it's because I'm holding the phone in my hands and no matter how careful I am not to move I suppose I'm moving just enough to blur things up with the data capture. Guess I need to try some shots with a makeshift stand or something and see if things are different.

But so far the images I've seen in this thread (most of them, at least) and those posted in the Flickr galleries is damned impressive stuff, seriously. My gripe about the G2 (pretty much the only one I have) is/was the somewhat craptastic image quality when I'm snapping photos.

Having said that, I'm a newb in photography so I'm learning what I can fast but, damn, this is one seriously impressive tool you've created, Solf, it really is. I do hope there will be some improvements as time passes (I'm sure there will be).

Big fan of this, HUGE... :D
[G2 Themes and Apps] Dewsy:
I'm a newbie too, but i think for raw conversation the Adobe Lightroom is a much better tool... AND you can found a lot of tutorials on youtube. Try it out too before you stick with ps
[G2 Themes and Apps] Jonous:
That is very accurate. That is a reason photographers choose their raw software based upon the support of their camera model. The soft has to support your cam and also your lens in order to make the right corrections that the camera does internally. It takes certain corrections even in dslr world for the photo to produce correctly.
[G2 Themes and Apps] vexierspiegel:
I downloaded Mi2Raw from Play Market via APK Downloader (web service) and my downloaded version is said for LG G2. But I have Lenovo Vibe Z (k910ss, dual-sim qualcomm, Chinese version) so I installed Mi2Raw on it with ease and tried to get images. I succeed. I get DNG files. I can open and edit these DNG files, but my camera is not LG G2 :) how can I change this? I wish the camera model of my smartphone was automatically detected.

Anyway, I just wanted to say I am happy I can have DNG, not JPEG now. Thanks a bunch.
[G2 Themes and Apps] kultus:
Mi2raw

Great apk, still has to be developed and Im missing e.g. exif in lightroom, DNG+jpg capturing. Also removing the sound in AE lock would be nice. Here is one example, ISO100, PP in LR5.6. LG G2 camera really has potencial! Enjoy

I now about this bug from the first day Ive bought G2. How you thought this? My setting is: /strage/emulated/0/DCIM. Is this right? I discovered your great apk only yesterday, I was blind and was waiting for android 5.0 with the native DNG support. If you are developer, many thanks then!!! Really dont know how you did this with the old API 1.0? Why no developer did this before? Will testing it as Im shooting photos all the time with my beloved panasonic FZ1000 ;)

edit: it doesnt work :( whatever I setup as the save folder cant see anything until phone restart...

I don't if it was answered already, but why doea this app forces me to turn on location everytime I start it? I know it needs it to save it woth file, but can't it use location when battery saving mode on (from cellular and wifi)? That is how stock and xdabbeb camera apps work.

[G2 Themes and Apps] kultus:
The focus problems are in stock camera too, but in this great apk, focus is even less reliable and mainly in worse light conditions I got totaly blur photos. What a shame. Focus on G2 is the most dissapointing area as OIS works great and with mi2raw you can get outstanding pictures.

[G2 Themes and Apps] br0adband:
Just a question about Mi2Raw:

I used it with my G2 I had recently and now I have a G3 (waiting for a replacement display assembly to arrive, should be here tomorrow 3-7-2015) and I'm wondering if there's a major difference between the G2 and G3 camera hardware that would prevent a potential port of this awesome little app so I (and other G3 owners) might have RAW/DNG capture capability ?

Can the G3's camera hardware provide raw image sensor data that can be culled and saved in a DNG format the same way, or is the G3 just out of luck with this kind of support?

Any info is most appreciated, thanks...
[G2 Themes and Apps] Eminemiero:
If you install xcam lg settings from the playstore i think that you can choose to save the raw image
[G2 Themes and Apps] 60nine:
yep, but not with mi2raw... that's for the xdabbeb's xcam...
[G2 Themes and Apps] Eminemiero:
yeah, i know, the lg g3 doesnt support mi2raw (or viceversa). xcam is the best option for him
[G2 Themes and Apps] br0adband:
My point being: if Xcam offers up a potential to capture raw image sensor data for the G3, perhaps the possibility exists for solfx to create a version of Mi2Raw for the G3, least that was the intention of my post and question. I don't know how Xcam is doing what it does anymore than Mi2Raw as I'm not a coder or developer, I'm just wondering if perhaps the possibility exists to get an updated or ported version of Mi2Raw. I think because of Lollipop now there are more APIs for the camera hardware to allow expanded functionality over what was possible with KitKat or Jelly Bean so that might have something to do with it, I don't know for sure.

I like Xcam as well; I even purchased the Xcam settings app to add more functionality so I will be checking that out with my G3 but I do like Mi2Raw just the same if not more so because of that raw capability.

I figured it couldn't hurt to at least ask the question. ;)
[G2 Themes and Apps] kultus:
Be aware that not all manufacturers implemented API 2.0 of camera or made it available, except few like Nexus 5,6 maybe motorola I dont know. Other solutions like mi2raw or Oneplus camera are very custom.
