Here is an album on Imgur which shows a comparison (indoors) between Omnivision and Sony. The first 3 are Omnivision, and last 3 are Sony. I used the default Xiaomi Camera App with Auto Settings. Sony takes a bit more bright pictures while Omnivision is less bright. Both are grainy because of the auto settings.

https://imgur.com/a/G4a1V

Below are videos taken at night using Manual Settings. The first video is Omnivison, and the other 2 are Sony.

Notice the stable and smooth playback at low light. From my test, it looks like Sony produces much more brighter video with vibrant colours, and Omnivision looks a dull.

Is there a way to check which sensor my phone has on an AOSP ROM?

So far those few system/device identifier apps on the play store didn't gave me a clue.

Any sugestions?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Accessories] dudjaa:
Yes ROOT+ this app

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.andr7e.deviceinfohw&hl=sr
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Accessories] Broberg:
Install matlog from Playstore. Open it, minimize the app, open your camera app and take some Photos. Go back to matlog and in the search box you'll need to type in sensor info. Thats all
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Accessories] Kelvino9:
Thanks for the suggstion. I got allot of infos, but no specific information which camera sensor is installed (even with root).

Your method did actually work. I finally know that I got the Samsung sensor (s5k3I8).

Good to hear it worked out for you. Samsung aint that bad, had it myself as an original sensor.

Hello Friend, I bought replace my camera (photo) my previous camera has all the same numbers but the new one is not working after install. Any ideas?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Accessories] dudjaa:
Just tried without a camera in phone, turned him on without sensor camera. In CIT mode also says not supported.

The problem is that the sensors are not original which proves your case the same number, but does not work.

Only the lucky ones had the pleasure to change their cameras

So replacing Omnivision with imx258 requires no software adjustment or factory reset?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Accessories] alperenadalar:
I have SD Note 4X 2016102 with samsung sensor

How can i replace imx sensor

Which site i should buy the sensor?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Accessories] yohyah:
You can buy either buy from AliExpress or Witrigs.com. Check [MENTION=6008406]dudjaa[/MENTION]'s post #81 on this thread to find out which module number to look for or request from the seller so you have a higher chance of it working on your device. Sellers usually send a random one from the batch, so it can be like a lottery.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Accessories] alperenadalar:
Thanks. I am going to buy OHPO240 AOO-FILM WG 531 from aliexpress. I hope it works :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Accessories] amnher:
So replacement is not possible?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Accessories] yohyah:
Replacement is possible, but maybe depends on luck. Some people here replaced successfully while others failed.

I was able to replace my Omnivision with the Sony I bought from Aliexpress. I included the link to it earlier in this thread (Post #79). Read the posts from other users from pages 7 to 9 as they provide a lot of good info as well.

---------- Post added at 12:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 AM ----------

No software adjustment or reset is necessary as the camera libraries are already located under -> "system/vendor/lib" [You will need an explorer with Root to view, like ES File Explorer]

Just pray that the module you buy gets detected :fingers-crossed:

Pull sensor from other phones

Hi guys,

I've seen few phones uses the sony imx258 sensor, for instance lG G6, samsung A3 2017 and moto G5S plus, to cite the most flagship and populars ones.

Do you have any clue is these phones use the same connexion / socket as well ?

It migh be easier to get a genuine sony sensor and not a fake one from one of these phones ; and eventually get a brocken one to pull the sensor from.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Accessories] amnher:
Actually my mido's box says 2016101 and it is a silver with 3gb/16gb as specification, is there a serial or batch that indicates what sensor to avoid incompatibility?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Accessories] yohyah:
We actually don't know the specifics numbers. The information above is just speculation on what may work based on the success/failure of users trying to replace their module.

My module was OHPO240 AOO-FILM YH171 and it works for my mido 2016101. Another user's worked for their OHPO240 AOO-FILM YH514 for 2016101.

So based on this, there is a high chance of a YH### module working for yours, but no guarantees!.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Accessories] anon201803:
The Witrigs website now reads:

"Sensor: ofilm_s5k3I8. Sony sensor imx258 has been sold out."
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Accessories] jbonlinea:
yes I've seen that as well :(

sad as it the only seller who seemed to pay attention to this
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Accessories] amnher:
So it is a gamble as well not to mention the scarcity of imx258
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Accessories] yohyah:
I ordered my sensor from AliExpress last November (received in mail in January). This seller had the highest number of orders and the highest rating out of any other seller, which is why I went with them. They currently are still the most popular. They have 844 modules left at the time of this post. Link below:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-Original-For-Xiaomi-Redmi-Note-4X-Rear-Back-Camera-Module-Flex-Cable-High-Quality/32825499032.html

It's about $10USD. It's probably worth a gamble to see if it works or not. You won't be losing too much. If not, then you'll just have to skip lunch for a couple days ;)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Accessories] jbonlinea:
Hi guys,

I tried to sumurise again the success/failure encontered; here is some sort of table :

post --> sensor --> phone/rom version --> result --> shop link+comments

#9 --> WG493 --> RN4 4/64 global / miui 9 --> failure --> ?

#18 --> WG351 --> ? --> success --> today only wg414 and YG432 pictured

#30 --> ? --> RN4 SD / resurection --> mixed-bag --> same as #18

#32 --> ? --> RN4 SD global / --> failure --> same as #18

#33 --> YG461 --> same user as #9 --> failure --> same as #18

#34 --> WH095 --> D global / --> success --> writings

#44 --> ? --> RN4X --> success --> ?

#65 --> ? --> ? --> failure --> writings :

#68 -->WG493 --> ? --> failure --> writings

#70 --> YG502 --> ? --> failure --> aliexpress

#72 --> YH197 --> ? --> success --> writings

#79 --> YH171 --> RN4 3/32 chinese - 2016101 --> success --> ali

#81 --> YH514 --> 2016101 --> success -->

#81 --> WG531 --> 2016102 --> success -->

#88 --> WG493 --> ? --> failure -->

# It also apears in writing video that YG494 is working.

The folowing pattern has been suggested in this tread :

and later added on post #81 that YH514 and WG531 respectively works on products number 2016101 and 2016102.

Our concern, is that we basically have very partial informations on the phone model or product number, I have no clues wether, beyond cpu, the phone "model" (RN4/RN4X, normal(Chinese?)/global, 3-32/4-64) or product number has any importance ; and thus can't closely relate it succes/failure experience.

Base on above, with the gaps and cracks it has due to the inconsitency of phones data, we may suggest to :

- go for known working sensor of series 0xx, 1xx, 2xx or 3xx such as WH095, WG351, YH171, YH197

- go for known working sensor of higher series such as YH171 or YH514 if your phone is 2016101 or WG531 is your phone is 2016102

- go for YG494 as it seems to work on the video of writings,

- go for WG ot YG or YH series 0, 1, 2 or 3 for instance as most succesfull sensor are in these series

- avoid YG5xx as we have no feedbacks, but I would also be carefull with the YG series as we only have one positive feedback (see above)

- avoid WG493 as they all failed (but we don't know on what phone version / product number !!!) - I may add despite it is the model available everywhere on ali

Finally I did a quite extensive search on aliexpress and could not find, according to the pictures, any sensor with the highest working probability.

- The WG493 is everywhere, but you know what

- The WG414 and YG432 appears on the link lately provided by [MENTION=4252570]yohyah[/MENTION] while he got a YH171

- The WG414 or YG 432 is also sold for RN4X SD by this from post #18 and this and this and this seller

- The WG414 is also sold for RN4X SD by this seller

Did you find a wg 531 ?

on ali express ?

Could you provide the link please ?

of course if you have a feedback, we are all interested :)

If any of you have links towards working sensor nomburs, please share :)

Cheers

Hey mate, sorry to bother you. I saw a friend success with WH062, maybe helpful for you. His device is 3+32 China version.

I want to have a try, but I didn't buy WH062, cause I can't find it. Instead, I bought WH022, maybe that will arrive in several days.

I'd like to share with you my result. I never saw 022 or 062 in this thread, but they both are under 300. My concern is that my device is 4+64 China version on treble los15.1, I am so afraid that I may fail. Cuddle me plz;)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Accessories] jbonlinea:
Hi,

Nice to hear it worked for your friend wi the WH062.

I can't say anything about your suscess as I only gatherred everynthing said in the previous post in mine.

That would be gread if you can give us a feedback of your WH022 when you've tried it.

In the mean time can you also provide the link from where you bought it please ; it might also help.

Cheers
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Accessories] Termintor:
That's a China website, but maybe google translate can help you. However, it maybe hard for you to communicate with the seller to require one with number under 300. If you don't ask, they may probably send you a WG493 one, because it is available all over the online store. here is the link:http://m.tb.cn/h.Wva0pVT
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Accessories] jbonlinea:
Hi

Thank's for the link !

I've heard about this website already, but never bought anything yet.

Is the sensor your picture the one you received ?

Have you tried it yet ?

What "product number is your phone" ? 2016101 or 2016102, it's written on the box.

I'll try to asked the seller if he can send me a wh022, maybe he speaks english ?!

Cheers
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Accessories] Termintor:
I am so sorry, but my camera hasn't arrived. I guess he should send me WH022 because he promised that. I don't think he speaks english, but if you use English, it will be OK, because he can use online translation.

I don't know the product number of my phone because I left it in my home but I am at school now.

*edit: I just looked at the back of my phone to find a tag on which there is 2016101. I think that's my product number. What should that mean?

BTW, is there any 4+64 version succeeded replacing the camera sensor?

*Today, I received my camera and it is WH022 of course. But it seems hard for me to open the back cover of the phone. Do you have any advice for me about opening the back cover?

*Edit: I replaced it on my phone, and it works. But it has a hard time focusing on items. Almost working fine, but I think it's a matter of quality, because I found some black dots in my picture. I messaged him, and he told me that the batch of goods was not taken good care of. Finally I sent the camera back and he will refund me as soon as he receives the camera.

From my case, I can say 4+64 version is also compatible with IMX258 numbered with WH022(maybe all that under 300). Though it does not improve that much, it is worthy of a try, which will bring you some fun.

My friend and I both prefer ov13855 camera for its good performence in low light condition. What I want most in fact is photo sphere of google camera, but that seems not available for ov13855 sensor. I hope some genus will fix it someday. If you know some version that supports photo sphere, let me know please.

Greeting people! Unfortunately i sold my redmi note 4x. I ordered the cameras from multiple sources on the Internet when i used this phone.

I received a last package from China today i have five modules of camera. Four Sony and Samsung is one sensor. Unfortunately, i dont have more opportunities to test them. I want to sell them.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Accessories] jbonlinea:
Hi

Thanks for your feedback. It a shame that your sensor is faulty but good to know that this number works as well.

If your friend prefer the ov13855 and wants to get rid of his Sony let me know in private message.

I do have a Samsung sensor and can't say about the omnivision but you may try the Google camera from arnova and version 8g2 v6

I've been recommended this one and it works great. If you have issue with pinkish color check in the preferences there is an option to correct it.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Accessories] Termintor:
Sorry, my friend just sold his sensor to another man, but you can buy one from the link I provided, where I also saw WG414,YH221 and so on. If you want a camera with higher success possibility, you'd better ask the seller for what you want, and I think he has all kinds you want.

About gcam app, I am currently using the one you recommended, which is really stable, but photo sphere doesn't work. That's a function that I need very much.

Thank you for your advice.

The sensor I got is YG447 and my phone is a redmi note 4 global 4/64 product number 2016102 Miui9

More info if someone is interested...

When I purshased the sensor, and still today, the picture of the shop shows WG414 and YG432.

I asked if they could guarantee me they would send one of both, or any others... but they refered me to the pictures...

... so useless...

... and I received a YG447...

I ordered from the same shop as [MENTION=4252570]yohyah[/MENTION] who received a YH171 (but I can't say what showed the pictures when he purshased his sensor)

Here I recall the link of the shop but it was already provided in my post compiling succes/failure/shops.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Accessories] aliaszzz:
Hi. I just ordered sony sensor from the link given (with the most sales). Just wondering, does the sensor varies from one another? Aside from the serial number, does it really have a series of non compatible or compatible sensor? Because it claims to be original, it should be made in the same place right? If it says oem it could be made in somewhere else, probably with the same design but slightly different in firmware or something.

And does rooting or mod affect this in a way? I was thinking something must have gone wrong probably in the cache/dalvik/libs files, or the sensor itself is not functioning?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Accessories] aliaszzz:
Hi everyone, i have received my package. I received WG493 from HERE

Turns out the connector is a bit bent, which makes it hard to detect, but it works after fiddling with the connector a bit. The only problem i have encountered is that it doesn't focus at all. It was fixed at 1-2 meter distance and no sensor movement during focus. Guess i need to contact the seller for refund.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Accessories] luke96:
Same story. It is IMX258. But is not possible focus it.

Please let me know the answer from the seller. I contacted him. Sent him some pictures. His answer was: "it is ok, friend"
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Accessories] aliaszzz:
He did not answer properly my friend, kinda like evading the issue, he asked me about my phone model 3 times, asking for my phone pictures, eventhough i have answered him,told him my problem and also provided photos of the sensor and phone model. I guess i have to push this matter to aliexpress directly, i dont think i can deal with him.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Accessories] luke96:
Did you open dispute?

I did. They want to close it and send the camera back. Then they will refund. :rolleyes:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Accessories] aliaszzz:
I did sent dispute req and thankfully i am entitled for partial refund ($7.50) without sending back the sensor. It is still in refund processing phase and maybe will find out in a few days time.

Hello to all interested on this topic! There are detailed information on replacing the cameras on the Russian site. With numbers that work on certain models. The only problem is the Russian language I am from Serbia, and I can read the Cyrillic alphabet but due differences in language I can not understand all the words. It would not be bad if some guy from Russia help in translate.

Hi guys,

I also encounter focussing issue, but there is a parade.

point your camera to a distant subject, as far as you can

then point your camera to a close subject, almost as close as you can, maybe between 2 to 10cm

repeat this once or twice,

then your camera will focus quickly where-ever you want

it's sometimes painfull, but works

The module they send you is random, so there is no guarantee that it will work with your device. However, a few of us (including me) here have ordered from this Aliexpress seller with success. Have a look a page 11 of this thread. You can send a message to the seller of the exact module number you want.

I haven't tested a Samsung before, so I can't really say. I made a post comparing Omnivision vs Sony on page 9 of this thread.

Initially Sony was better than Omnivison, but after a few updates the results are pretty comparable. Sony is still a bit better in low light though.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Accessories] Seyron:
I did that three times, but still not received a single working Sony sensor. I first received another Samsung sensor, which worked but yeah, you know that's not what we want here. :D Second order I received a WG493 which didn't work at all. Stock camera just opened with front camera and didn't offer to switch to the back camera and GCam just crashes on start. Just last week I received my third and last order (won't order again - my seems to do a good job now with GCam) and again it was a WG493. Which at least worked somehow and was recognized by the phone, but simply didn't want to focus at all. So as it goes for me this particular merchant disappointed me 3 times. I always asked and gave them detailed information what sensor model and series I was looking for. I was told by a support assistant from this merchant that there's no way to send me sensor of a specific series and that it was sent at random.

So keep in mind guys, ordering these you still have to depend on your luck. There actually seems no way to assure to certainly receive a working Sony module from any merchant (at least on aliexpress).

Hey guys, I changed my camera again, and I succeeded again.

I still remember last time I changed my camera in March 2018. That time, I bought a faulty camera though it really worked. The photos I took with that camera was filled with black dots, therefore I sent that camera back and got refunded.

4 days ago, I bought another camera numbered with YG527. Before I paid for that camera, I negotiated with the seller that he test the camera before sending it to me, and he agreed.

Luckily, this one works perfectly.

In my opinion, IMX258 is almost of the same quality with OV13855 when taking photos in stock camera. But when taking photos in google camera,you'll find IMX258 is much better and more stable with photosphere working flawlessly.

About my model, my phone is China ver 4+64 snapdragon625, numbered with 2016101. I just doubt that whether the number on back of the camera sensor is so important. But if you want to buy one suitable camera, you need just tell the seller to test it for you.

I hope that you can get a better camera.:)
