[TAMA][AKARI][9.0][4.9] Backcamera lacks full camera 2 api support (Level_3 missing)

[MartinX3]

Platform: tama
Device: akari
Kernel version: 4.9.152
Android version: 9.0

I checked the camera 2 api with the app "Camera2 probe" from Google Play Store.
Missing features:

• LEVEL_3
• Auto focus EDOF

Will this get added?

According to Google Android Docs

LEVEL_3: These devices support YUV reprocessing and RAW image capture, along with additional output stream configurations.

Level_3 is supported since HALv3.2.
The new snapdragon 845 should be able to support it in hardware.

@MartinX3
v8 is released !
please rebuild and test

[oshmoun]

tested, both "Level_3" and "Auto focus EDOF" are still reported missing

[MartinX3]

I can confirm it on my tama akari xz2.

[sraase]

I can confirm as well, and it will need some looking into. Same for the front camera.

[sraase]

The Tama back camera uses a regular auto-focus system, so EDOF should not be reported at all. Please correct me if I am mistaken here.

The LEVEL_3 issue runs deeper than I expected. As far as I can tell, the camera platform always reports FULL in the version we use, independent of the sensor driver. Obviously, this also affects the front camera.

[MartinX3]

Is this supported or possible @sraase ?

According to
https://source.android.com/devices/camera/versioning
YUV and RAW are the main things in LEVEL_3.
I don't have enough experience, so maybe I am wrong here.

[sraase]

My Apollo reports RAW, YUV_REPROCESSING and PRIVATE_REPROCESSING.
To my knowledge, that support has been there from the beginning.
I just tested PRIVATE_REPROCESSING - works fine.

[MartinX3]

Oh, then it's weird why it still reports a missing LEVEL_3.
maybe because of the not good declared along with additional output stream configurations in the documentation.
Which diagnostic tool to you use to gather the reports about camera features?
I use the app "camera2 probe" and miss the YUV and PRIVATE part.

[sraase]

I use "adb shell -n dumpsys media.camera | less".
The decision on whether a camera is LEVEL_3 is not done by Android.
On my phone, "Camera2 Probe" correctly reports both types of REPROCESSING.

[MartinX3]

Thank you adb shell -n dumpsys media.camera | less is just perfect.

Sadly "Camera2 Probe" doesn't show me a REPROCESSING section on my akari or YUV/PRIVATE.

Luckily "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.camera2.test" shows me more useful informations, similar to the shell command you gave me. :)

[MartinX3]

Now I am very unsure if we can close this ticket or not.

[sraase]

Maybe I am using a different version of the Camera2 Probe app. It doesn't matter though, if it is shown in dumpsys, then it is there.

I think this ticket should stay open for now, since the issue is real - just that I can't easily cook up a solution.

[jerpelea]

please retest on Android 10 and vendor v3 release then open a ticket for Android 10
