[Resolved] [Idea] Light meter app (using light sensor) - Windows Mobile Apps and Games

Hi all!
I have idea for new usefull (for me for sure) app to measure light power. It will be very usefull where you must provide very concrete light conditions, like for plants, work places, for in-door projectants, and many other
It will be great if this app can give results in known light units (lux, lumen, candela).
There is app which in some way can realize that - free app from ageye - G-Light. Look on last two lines:

not a perfect solution, but in settings window of Lumos, you can see the current light sensor value (probably in lumens?)

This is light controling app - i don't wanna it. The same unknown vaules i have here in G-Light.
I prefer app only to light metering, nothing else.

I'm interested in the same APP. I have a real luxometre so i can calibrate it if is necessary.

Google for AmigaLux App.............

or google for mtoolbox 0.3 ...

Jaguarlani that is what i lookin for! Thanks mate!
There is link: http://amigapocket.free.fr/amigalux.html
bespinillo - can you check this app acurete with your luxometer?

Welcome........

mtoolbox and amigalux does the same in my acer F900; start and exit quickly.
Both block the gsensor and i must to reset the device after it.
I think tat the problem is that acer does'nt use the same .dll as htc to control the gsensor, ligth sensor and flash led.

hello, does anyone knows an app so i can use the flash as a torch?? im using miui v2,., thanks
Can't use it that way b/c it isn't LCD, it a Xenon flash. It requires a charge/pulse type thing to run. There is the red light that reduces Red-Eye and a hack to use it as a flashlight posted here-> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1018568

[Q] App to control screen contrast , Gamma and color?

Hello All,
I have looked around different forums hoping to find an app or setting info which allows to modify the screen color, contrast and Gamma . I haven't been able to find any .
I have a Vega Tegra2 replica which has high screen brightness ( faded black colors ) and I am running Vegacomb 8.1 on it.
Can any one please tell me if such an app or modification exists?
Many thanks !!
Anyone has any info?
Sorry, don't know anything that can do it. But it's a nice idea.
It would be very helpful for those that have cheaper tablets/phones and want to improve the screen quality and picture.
Im wondering how come no apps is around? Any limitation on Android OS to handle this or harware limiation?

Bluish tint and low quality
Sadly there is a bluish(sometimes greenish) tint and that is not light but too much. Any way to capture raw with normal colours? Also the quality is even lower than the jpegs captured with stock camera app.

also you should post the dng files on G+ page where the developer can take a look at it
I dont need the dngs.
The green is because of the missing colormatrix. But it can easy fix with awb tool in ps and rawtherapee or every other app wich can read dngs.
It would be usefull when the thread starter update it and make his knowledge for all users avail.
Its not good to point all problems to me.
I get bored when answering 20 times the same question and user get stupid answers or im just ignore them.
Its not my problem when people dont know how to process the taken raws. The quality can be worse when you dont know it.
Im thinking about to remove rawsupport in freedcam for all devices wich use the neutral matrix... Then its limited to g2/g3/m9 devices.

the preview is in dark conditons always a bit noise. for raw capture use iso 100 in all light conditions. it reduce the noise heavy. the exposure can later increased when its to dark.
also turning off wavlet-denoise can decrase the noise

We don't have a powerful camera like one+one and the raw output is expected to be noisy as no noise reduction algorithm is used.
Although FreeDcam has options for noise reduction and what not, i would rather do that in an external software. this is the reason why we are capturing in raw right?
With RAW you will get much more lighting information and thus edit should be much better.
Also try to use manual control available like adjusting ISO etc. Google should be your friend. Enjoy!
A'ight. Didn't want you to take it as a "complain" xD ..Thanks for the info though. @abhi can you tell me what is the expolock button for? to lock exposure ?

with that you can lock the camera ae routine. that means you can point into the sun lock the exposure and the cam does not change it until it gets released.
it can be used to trick the camera shutter time.
as sample when you want to have a longer exposure time at night. aim with the cam to a dark point or lay it to the ground and lock the exposure. then point to the scene you want to shoot.
the same trick can be done for a faster shutter speed. for that lock the expo into a light (sun or simliar)

[MOD][Xposed] GyroscopeNoiseFilter

Hi there,
GyroscopeNoiseFilter (previously: JitteryGyroFixForCardboard) is a module to reduce/eliminate the noise in unstable gyroscope that are found in some phones like the Moto G 2nd gen or Huawei Ascend G7. Basically, the app does the noise smoothing that app devs do, but here this module uses a system hook to apply the noise smoothing preprocessing for all apps, but the main goal here is specifically to remove jitter, not drift (although the filters may help, but there's no sensor fusion, yet).
This is particularly interesting for virtual reality (VR) or head-tracking apps because a noisy gyroscope will produce a feeling of dizzyness and nausea, but this can also be interesting for any app using the gyroscope because the output will be a lot smoother and accurate (particularly when the phone is held still).
The module was originally wrote by Kjos and the repo lives here:
https://github.com/Kjos/XposedJitteryGyroFix
The thread that started the module is on Reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/GoogleCardboard/comments/335ins/fix_for_jittery_gyroscopes_such_as_moto_g
Here is the latest version of the module, v1.4 (also attached to this thread):
https://github.com/lrq3000/XposedJitteryGyroFix/releases/download/v1.4/GyroscopeNoiseFilter_v1.4.apk
The module is also available directly from the Xposed repo:
http://repo.xposed.info/module/net.kajos.gyronoisefilter
=== DESCRIPTION ===
The gyroscope is the main sensor for head tracking / virtual reality apps.
However, it's common for phones' gyroscopes to be noisy, which in practice shows as jitter, and this can create a dizzyness feeling and nausea, particularly when standing still (the "camera" still moves around just like if you were at sea).
Android now offers "virtual" sensors, which use a method known as sensor fusion to avoid those noisy outputs by combining several sensors (usually: gyroscope, accelerometer, magnetometer).
However, it's up to each app dev to use these virtual sensors, and to implement further post-processing to smooth the sensor and reduce the noise.
This module adopts another approach: it hooks directly to the hardware gyroscope and it preprocess every outputs with smoothing filters before relaying the data to the apps.
Therefore, the noise is reduced or even eliminated of the gyroscope's output for every apps.
=== OPTIONS ===
This module currently implements a few different strategies to filter and reduce noise, which can be used complementary or alone (each option can be disabled):
1. Filter type: type of the filter that will be applied to reduce noise in the gyroscope output.
2. Filter size: the number of samples to use to compute the filtering. Usually, the bigger the filter is, the less jitter there will be but at the expense of some lag.
3. Filter optional value: value of the constant that configures some types of filters such as lowpass or additive smoothing.
4. Minimum value change threshold: prevents the phone from registering the new sensor's values if the difference to the median is smaller than the given threshold.
5. Stationary minimum value threshold: when stationary, prevents the sensor from moving if the change is below the given threshold (this is similar to min value change but here it only affects the stationary state, when you are not moving).
6. Rounding precision: round all sensor's values to the given decimal.
Options can be changed on-the-fly without having to restart the phone, and are instantly applied to the sensor, so that you can switch between this option screen and a VR app to test for the parameters that reduce the jitter the most for you.

I'm looking for feedback before we submit to the Xposed repo, so if you have any idea of a feature or if you spot a bug, feel free.
We are also looking for better filters, currently the best performing two types are the median filter and the one order low-pass filter, so if there's someone with some experience with noise reduction on the gyroscope (not the accelerometer), I'd be very interested to get some advices about that!
/EDIT: update v1.4.
Also, we found a great opensource app called GyroscopeExplorer (kudos to the dev) which implements all kinds of sensor fusion and with a very good documentation, so that's a great source of info to implement advanced filters, but, although they smooth the movement's noise and drifting issues, they do not fix jitter at all, so for the moment we won't implement these advanced filters. We are now focusing on supporting more apps, particularly the ones using the new Cardboard NDK API to access virtual sensors (this bypasses the usual SensorManager).
Sorry, I forgot to attach the APK directly to the thread, like it's usually done around here. That's now done.
Very interesting module.
I wonder if this would give better results when doing Photospheres with the Google Camera app.
Also, does this have any meaningful impact on cpu usage and battery draining ?
thanks!

I never made Photospheres with the Google Camera app, but if it uses the Gyroscope and you experience some jitter, then the module should help yes.
About CPU, the module is quite light on resources. The exact usage mostly depends on the filter type and filter size, with the low-pass filter being the lightest on CPU (only a few additions and multiplications, so it's negligible). All the other options such as the "minimum value change" only do a single calculation so their CPU usage is also negligible. However, if you use the mean or median filters and with a big filter size (like 1000), you may notice a very very small CPU usage, but it will still be very low (the time of a summation over an array of the size you specified, so it's not that big).
I have experienced some small (but still perceived) input lag using the default filter (median), switching to the lightest one and decreasing filter size to 8 fixed it
Would be nice if this module was presented more as an improvement / upgrade to the default gyroscope output, other than a simple fix
And after the app matures a little bit, you could make it available on the Play store too, so more people get this benefit
thanks again :good:
Good idea, but I can’t make head or tail of it. Maybe you ought to include simple preset/config… (sophisticated, uniform, simple & powerful, extreme…etc.), so that punters with Cardboards don’t spend a week scratching their heads on figuring out values, stationary thresholds and precisions.
I get nauseous using both DK2 and smartphone HMDs - don’t know if it’s me or noisy gyroscopes.
Thank's for the feedback everyone
@edgrd: yes the median filter smoothes the gyroscope more but it adds a delay proportionally to the filter's size. The low-pass filter does not add any perceptible delay, and the filter size does not matter (it only uses the previous gyroscope's value, so the filter size is always 1. I have yet to find the calculation for a bigger low-pass filter - but it works already very well as it is).
Indeed this is more an improvement now than a fix, that's why we renamed the app now to GyroscopeNoiseFilter
@Lord Childe: thank's for the idea of presets, I thought about that but however I can't think of a way to provide presets, since the values you set entirely depends on your own gyroscope's values. So for the moment, it is advised to just try out different values and you can switch back and forth to a VR app of your choice to instantly see the effect. Maybe we could do some kind of automatic calibration (eg, don't move your smartphone for a few seconds and this will automatically detect the values of the jitter).
Personally, on my Huawei Ascend G7, I use the low-pass filter and the stationary minimum value change set at 0.2. All the others are at default. And yes, this helps greatly to reduce the nausea for me (because when the phone still moves while you are standing still, this produces a feeling similar to being sea-sick).
Does not work on Cyanogenmod 12.1 Moto G 2nd Gen
Hi folks,
Tried to get it working on my Moto G 2nd Gen running Cyanogenmod 12.1. I can set the values but the Google Cardboard app does not seem to be taking the filtered values.
I tried running the Gyroscope Explorer app and if I enable Mean Smoothing, the app (Gyroscope Explorer) shows smooth values. But still has no effect on the cardboard app.

Yes indeed, this is the issue we are currently working on. It seems that there are currently two ways to get the head's position: using SensorManager/SystemSensorManager, or using the Cardboard SDK's own method. The latter seems to completely bypass the SensorManager, which is the usual way of accessing the gyroscope's values. Most cardboard's apps are still using the SensorManager to access the gyroscope, so for these apps, our module works correctly. But for newer cardboard's apps using the Cardboard SDK orientation provider, our module does not work.
This is a pretty tough problem, and I never developped a Cardboard's app. If someone with experience with developping a Cardboard app can give some help with some advices, this would really help us a lot!
We just updated the module, Arindammanidas. Please try the latest version (v1.5) and see if this fixes your issue:
http://repo.xposed.info/module/net.kajos.gyronoisefilter
https://github.com/lrq3000/XposedJitteryGyroFix/releases/tag/v1.5
If it doesn't fix your issue, please tell us what app and what version doesn't work with our module. We are aware that there are still a few apps that may not work, in particular Cmoar Cinema Pro v4.3 (but version Free is OK). We don't yet know why (the source is closed).
/EDIT: we narrowed down the issue, and it seems that only apps using Unity3d along with the Durovis Dive SDK for head tracking are not supported. It seems it's because they use their own native library to manipulate the sensors, so I'm not sure we can do anything about these apps...
I just uninstalled Xposed! I'll flash it back and report! Thanks a lot.

Hi, I tried out version 1.5 and it still gives me jitters in the google cardboard app demos. Probably the cardboard app is reading from somewhere else?
Which google cardboard app? Do you mean the treasurehunt? Normally, treasurehunt is supported. Is it another app you are talking about?

I was talking about the demos on the cardboard app itself. When you open the Google Cardboard app, you have an option for some demos e.g. Windy Day, Google Earth etc.
These still have jitters.
You're correct, I totally forgot about those demo apps and I didn't try them. We will see what we can do. Thank you for the feedback.
Is there any way to reduce drift when using photosphere or taking panorama photographs in Google camera?
Hello, I have a 'lenovo k3 note "with android 5.0.1, this phone has no physical gyroscope, makes a software simulation using other sensors.
I've been playing some value to your program and seems to improve a bit, but keeps moving image when this stop.
I can change the way you treat the sensor data? Even without one hardware.

Dear developers.
Is it possible to put an inversion of some of the axes in this module?
Some Chinese smartphones (for example ZOPO ZP998, iOcean x8), the gyroscope's axis is inverted, and the manufacturer ignores requests to fix it.

Wow, I was about to post the same because I was impressed someone managed to change gyroscope values. Yes, I have the same problem, my spanish smartphone comes with the X axis inverted, so the sensor fusion makes strange things (gyroscope and magnetometer/accelerometer read oppossite values), although I think this could be another app instead of adding it to your noise filter one (because in my phone there's no jittery, only a changed axis. It could be solved by the developers, but at this time there's no patch).
Thanks a lot!

New photo Pro app available

Guys, just seconds ago, I found, that there's the (from what I guess) new photo pro app from xperia 1 III is available here apkmirror.com
I tried to install and it worked!
Not able to take a screenshot as it's forbidden by system (not really necessary, sony). It has the new basic mode, that was shown on press release.
What are the differences with the mark II version? Difference in image quality or options?
From my guess, what sony is going to archive in future models, is to combine the normal and the pro-app, so there would be no need to develop and maintain two different apps - that saves money for them.
The linked app is already combined, some settings are slightly different insinde the pro-modes. You can switch to effects from basic-mode. I'm going to try to abandon the normal app and see, if the new one misses anything.
Thanks for posting that. I've tried it and it's great except that I normally open photo Pro in manual mode but this new app defaults to the basic camera app so you then have to change it to the camera pro app yourself. A small thing but just one more step that we didn't have previously when the two were separate apps. I see no setting to change how it opens by default so if anyone else does...
On a positive note, I may be imagining a slight thing but I think quality has maybe improved fractionally. To be specific, everyone has raved about this phone taking RAW files that you can develop yourself ( even though I think most flagship phones do now ) but I have always found that indoor shots with this phone in RAW always require a tripod which means you are just as well getting your real camera out. The ISO has to be low otherwise there is so much noise that even tools in lightroom struggle to fix it. But I think I see less noise now in handheld shutter speeds in low light.
But thanks to OP for spotting this app & bringing it to our attention.
BTW, how does anyone know this is the app from Xperia 1 iii when it's not released yet? Is there information on Sony website?
Many thanks.

I always open the Pro app with a push on the camera button. The new Pro app can be configured to open in Pro mode when pressing the camera button, so it works great for me.
Thanks very much. Ye, I saw you can choose the default in new settings too. I'm enjoying the new app.
Good find. Works well on the Xperia 5II as well.

That's what I've done too, with button mapper app. Howerver, it does not work when screen is off for my non rooted device. Don't forget to set photopro bypass in button mapper when photopro is active.
Tap tap app is also an interesting option.
For now I removed the update and reverted to the original Pro app.

Is there a way how to downgrade to original Photo Pro w/o root? I fear the answer is no.
It seems this upgrade broke eye AF at least on 70mm camera. All pictures of my wife and daughter focused on eye are out of focus. . Also manual object tracking seems not to work at all.

It seems this upgrade broke eye AF at least on 70mm camera. All pictures of my wife and daughter focused on eye are out of focus. . Also manual object tracking seems not to work at all.

Yes, it's easy. Go to settings, apps. Find the Photo Pro app in the list, click on it. From the menu, choose "remove updates". That's it.

I really hope that Sony will provide the new photo pro app on our device with the Android 12 update...

If you want to open the new (Xperia 1/5 III) PhotoPro app with the camera button, even from locked screen, you can check my simple method here (since it's the same for Xperia 5II): https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/updated-camera-pro-app.4283199/post-85866439

Unfortunately, on our device Xperia 1II, this new photopro app tends to take photos out of focus...
