Hi, my phone is a Xiaomi Mi A1 with root and Camera2 API enabled, so full manual control of camera settings, including RAW files etc. Nevertheless, all the camera apps I have tried so far are limited in the maximum exposure time (shutter speed) which is around 1/15s (it can slightly differ from app to app, Open Camera gives 1/12s). I am afraid this is a hardware limitation due to the OmniVision sensor OV12A10. In any case, is there a possible way to force the maximum exposure time in Open Camera to be of the order of seconds? thanks

I'm afraid not, the max exposure time is a device property.
(An alternative approach is to simulate long exposure times in software, by merging multiple frames - it's on my todo to support something like this, though it wouldn't work exactly the same as an equivalent long exposure.)
