Camera2api support for ALL DEVICES

[DanLava]

I hope that whoever have the power to do so, please forward this message to the samsung camera engineers/software team. 

To the Samsung Camera Engineering Team,

I am currently using a samsung A36. While the sensor hardware on @galaxy devices is world-class, the current Camera2 API software restrictions severely bottleneck what third-party applications like#MotionCam or gcam can achieve. 

The main issue is the ultrawide lens, macro lens and the front lens is locked down by Samsung as the camera2api is shown as limited. For that reason, third party apps such as Instagram, Snapchat, WhatsApp are unable to make full use of the sensor. Android phones have always been a laughing stock due to bad quality images on third party apps, which actually can be easily fixed. Phones such as Vivo and Xiaomi is starting to allow other 3rd party apps to access the raw data from the sensors.

I am requesting that Samsung open up the following features via API opcodes or vendor extensions:

1.Dual Conversion Gain (DCG): The hardware supports it, but third-party RAW video apps are blocked from accessing it.

2.Unrestricted RAW Framerates: We need full 60fps RAW sensor readout across all lenses.

3.Unfiltered Sensor Access: Please allow third-party developers direct access to raw sensor data without forced OEM processing limiters.

4. Ensure all sensors get the full camera2api features not only the main lens.

5. Please do not limit the usability of the camera hardware just because we bought an A series phone. I will be honest with you A series phones aren't cheap too and should be able to enjoy features that isn't locked down by softwares when the hardware is already there.

Opening up these vendor tags and opcodes would instantly make Galaxy devices the undisputed top choice for mobile filmmakers.

For those people who want to support for this change even though you can't do much, all you can do is to heart this post to get the attention of the samsung team. Thank you for your time.

Saya harap sesiapa yang ada keupayaan untuk berbuat demikian, tolong forward mesej ini kepada pasukan camera engineers / software Samsung.

Kepada Pasukan Camera Engineering Samsung,

Saya buat masa ni menggunakan peranti Samsung A36. Walaupun sensor hardware pada peranti @galaxy memang world-class, sekatan software Camera2 API sekarang ni betul-betul limit apa yang 3rd party apps macam #MotionCam atau GCam boleh buat.

Isu utama ialah ultrawide lens, macro lens dan front lens telah dikunci oleh Samsung sebab Camera2 API ditunjukkan sebagai limited. Disebabkan itu, 3rd party apps macam Instagram, Snapchat, dan WhatsApp tak dapat guna sensor secara sepenuhnya. Telefon Android selalu jadi bahan gelak disebabkan kualiti gambar yang teruk dekat 3rd party apps, padahal benda ni sebenarnya boleh fix dengan mudah. Jenama macam Vivo dan Xiaomi pun dah mula benarkan 3rd party apps untuk access raw data terus daripada sensor.

Saya minta Samsung bukakan features berikut melalui API opcodes atau vendor extensions:

•  Dual Conversion Gain (DCG): Hardware memang menyokong feature ni, tapi 3rd party RAW video apps dihalang daripada access benda ni.
• Unrestricted RAW Framerates: Kami perlukan full 60fps RAW sensor readout dekat semua lens.
• Unfiltered Sensor Access: Sila benarkan 3rd party developers dapat direct access kepada raw sensor data tanpa ada forced OEM processing limiters.
• Pastikan semua sensor dapat full Camera2 API features, bukan dekat main lens sahaja.
• Tolong jangan limit keupayaan camera hardware hanya sebab kami beli phone siri A. Sejujurnya, phone siri A bukannya murah dan sepatutnya boleh enjoy features yang tak dikunci oleh software bila hardware tu memang dah sedia ada.

Bila buka vendor tags dan opcodes ni, ia akan serta-merta jadikan peranti Galaxy pilihan nombor satu untuk mobile filmmakers.

Untuk korang yang nak support perubahan ni walaupun tak boleh buat banyak benda, korang cuma perlu heart post ni untuk dapatkan perhatian team Samsung. Terima kasih atas masa anda.
