M8 pictures in the RAW

[Mooncatt]

I was doing some reading about lollipop allowing photos to be saved as RAW image files. I saw on the HTC camera app that RAW capture is available for the M9, but some 3rd party apps have been hinting at giving the M8 this functionality as well. Has anyone tried any of those apps yet with success? I'm not a pro photographer or even expect much different results, but I'm one that likes to tinker.

There are a few apps that use the camera 2 api, which is needed for RAW support. FreeDCam is one of them but I haven't tried it, don't really see the benefit in RAW from this camera

I have FreeDCam, but it's buggy, complex, and there's no instructions with it or website I can find for more info.
