You're right. I've adjusted the original post to reflect that.

obivously you don't know much about philosophy for working with raw images too.

so yes. for an average user camera-ui (stock app) is much better.
No, I do understand it's just an API and I do understand the philosophy behind RAW. If you can get edit FCamera output to match the stock camera, in terms of color, I would love to know the trick.

Having said that, read the last part of my question. All cameras, whether it be Nokia, Canon, Nikon, Olympus and etc all do processing on their image to get the most out of noisy sensors. Most will have some level of noise reduction via dark frame subtraction and etc.

My question was if it would be possible to output after Nokia has accounted for lens and sensor characteristics. It would still be considered RAW because you're outputting before converting to JPEG, before you apply a tone curve and map to particular colors. Folks that do HDR / Lowlight and etc can still do what they do on top of this type of RAW.
