[REQ] HTCCamera.apk with HDR and Panoramic - HTC EVO 3D

There is a post in the EVO 3D forums about how to add both panoramic and HDR camera features in. My problem is, when I try to decompile the .apk I get errors that cause compiling the .apk again to fail.
I actually already have the panoramic effect, but I'm hoping for HDR as well.
Can someone who has both of these features upload a copy of their HTCCamera.apk file?
EDIT: Trust me. I tried searching and fixing the decompile problem myself, but I cannot succeed.

I'm already running viperROM v1.3 with a GingerBread theme, custom lockscreen, custom wallpaper, custom boot animation, and a few other features.
You can guess I'm not willing to flash a new ROM simply for the HDR upgrade.
Can one of you running the ROMs with both Panorama and HDR in the camera app upload your HTCCamera.apk file?

Quick question. What is HDR?

Here is HTCCamera.apk with all the three extra features pulled from Shooter-Rewind-3D-RLS2.1:
http://www.multiupload.com/LLTGOUT6S5
I messed around with it tonight, and I've noticed so far how Panorama and Burst modes will freeze up the camera application. The HDR mode does allow it to take pictures, but I'm not sure if it's actually doing its function.
My old HTCCamera.apk that didn't have the HDR and Burst modes had the Panorama part working fine. I'm not sure what's up with only the HDR mode working now, but I'll look around.

Deodexed, I presume.....
Nandroids are for sissies.
Bang.

Would love for this to happen! I'm running the stock rom and get an error when trying to install the above rom.

I get an error, also.. If I copy over the file to system/app, and change the permissions to match the original apk, it breaks my camera function..
Edit: Nevermind, I just updated to Freeza's 2.1 version.. I don't see any real difference between normal and "HDR..."

I extracted this from Shooter rewind RLS3, and its working on stock deodexed ROM. No burst, but HDR and panorama both work, no crashing.
heres a link to it in my drop box. http://db.tt/3o0XvuP
again i cant take credit for it, all i did was unzip the RLS3 download and copy the HTCcamera app.

My own work
I've been working on the stock camera for a while. I didn't take any of this from anyone's ROM, except for the panorama from which I started. In fact, I didn't even know some of it already existed (should've checked). Anyhow my attached app has the shutter sound silenced, HDR and Panorama enabled, and the image compression set to 100. I don't think anyone else has fixed the image compression yet. You'll notice that the saved images are ~ twice as big as before at the same resolution.
I've also been working on trying to store the images in an uncompressed format, but it looks like Android is broken for RAW images. I'm still looking into Kernel mods.

Are the pictures taken with your modified apps both larger and higher quality, or just larger? Does the compression set to 100% make it better quality? Also can the shutter sound be toggled or is it permanently off? Thanks

They're better quality because there is no additional JPEG compression. However the pictures don't look amazingly better. I wish I could get hdr mode to do something. I could restore the sound if you want, just let me know if you like my mods.
In addition, after looking through the source code we should be expecting an update from HTC with burst mode and hdr enabled. There's drivers from a company called Scalado that are bring called for those modes. They're probably incomplete at the moment which is why they're probably not enabled yet.

Completely uninstall the stock camera first with root uninstaller (free in the market) or titanium etc. Then after you reinstall, you will notice that the options remain.

Thanks for the APK! I very much enjoy the 100 compression. When you said, " I wish you could get the hdr to do something," were you reffering to the HDR mode looking exactly the same as 'no effect' ? This was my finding at least or maybe I dont know how to use it.
Thanks,
John

Updated!
I restored the sound and replaced the mode images for panorama and HDR with the images from the version posted from the ROM earlier in this thread. So credit goes to whoever made those icons.

Yes. There seems to be a bug in the HDR code. It should be taking three photos, each with a different exposure, then combining the three images. I don't think it's doing that. This is sort of the same feature as burst mode, which doesn't seem to work and is why it's not in my version of the APK.
-Jason

Can you make one without the burst and HDR since theydoesn't work (ocd) just with panorama, compression off and no sound?

[APP] Panorama for Atrix (5MP support added)

A few days ago, I saw the "Sony Panorama Beta!" thread that allows other devices to use it. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work on Atrix as the app works only on NEONs. I searched for other alternatives and found out that the BlurCamera.apk from Droid X supports panoramic pictures. I downloaded the original file from here http://www.droidforums.net/forum/92...ix-update-panorama-assist-etc.html#post887590
The app actually worked without modification but I modified it for 2 reasons:
1. The package name is com.motorola.Camera which is the same as my stock Camera/Camcorder app and it is not as simple as replacing the stock Camera app in /system/app. I had to reset the data partition before my Atrix recognized it.
2. It has a lower resolution than the stock app. maximum resolution is 3MP only.
To avoid conflict, I changed the package name to “com.panorama.Camera” and the app name to “Cam-norama” (to distinguish it from the Camera app). I also removed the Launcher icon for the Camcorder since the stock Camcorder is better.
I experienced FCs when I opened "Settings" and "Switch to video" but it seems to happen only the first time after installation.
:::: By the way, the stock OlympusCamera.apk can be modified to take panoramic pictures but when I tried to start recording, I got an FC. The maximum resolution for panorama is also set at 3MP.
2011-06-29: Added BlurCamera5MP.apk to allow 5MP panorama. The highest resolution I got was 1889px height for a 2-frame shot compared to 1499px in 3MP mode. But the more frames you capture, the resolution gets lower. It should still be better than the 3MP version though.
I tried to set the panorama maximum as 5MP Widescreen but it seems like it takes lower resolution even if I select the 5MP as the current setting so I finally made it to allow 5, 3, 2 & 1 MP only.
I got it to install (and got the first time FC like you described), however I cannot find how to set it to take panoramic photos. I can take video and photos just fine.
EDIT: I'm silly, have to hit menu and then camera modes...
And now a beautiful [and kinda blurry D:] picture of my kitchen

Just so everyone knows, I use an app called Photaf and it makes panorama pics awesome!!! You can pay for a pro version that does hi-def! Worth every cent, the pics are great! Check one out!

Unless photaf has changed since I last used it a few months ago, it takes forever for photaf to stitch the photos together, and you have to really have a steady hand, otherwise it looks like crap.
Maybe I missed a setting, but I didnt like photaf. The best pano app Ive used is the one built into the SGS camera app

thats one of the few things I miss about the captivate, its panoramic feature
The app has a guide to help you take the next shot. It is also fast at stitching the pics together.
The app is great! i took a pic from my balcony. This took 4 shots. The far end pic on the right is my satellite. I didnt realize that I would hit it.
PanoBalcony:
PanoBalcony 2:
I accidentally pressed cam-orama camera icon while my phone was connected to my pc. When I unplugged the phone and tried the app, it reverted back to the old camera app. I tried restarting and it was still the same. I reinstalled the .apk and it was still the same. I clicked the cam-orama app again in the drawer and it worked. Perhaps this is a bug. It still works good and I posted the 2nd shot above after that bug that I encountered.
this works great! Thanks! Do you think higher-res photos are possible?
is it possible to apply any fix for old droid/milestone family too?

[MOD][9-16-11]Rever3nD CAMERA 2.3.4[HIGH QUALITY-2M FRONT-HDR-PANORAMA-ISO1250-ETC]

This is the HTCCamera.apk and media_profile.xml from This Thread What I did is added the other features thanks to SteelH's guide here. The Guide says you have to edit "DisplayServicer.smali" which isn't right, it's actually "DisplayDevice.smali". Also needed to edit the .line in order to get it to work with the 15K Camera... AnyWhoo....
9-16-11:
Built from 2.3.4 HTCCamera.apk, which fixed green tint issues.
I *think* it will still have the 0% compression and higher quality as well. in the flashable zip (yes, flashable zip added too!) I added the modified media_profile.xml....I'm hoping that is all that is really needed to increase quality. testing is needed, leave feedback with any findings please!
What's it do?:
Based on "CameraMOD 3D" by ErosizeD which already offered:
Higher quality 15mbps Video recording for 480p and 720p.
0% JPG Compression for better picture detail.
Panorama Option
What I added:
Upped Front Camera to 2mp
Added ISO 1250 option.
HDR Added
Scene Selection. (Close up, Night, Snowy, etc. etc.)
Known bugs:
Toggling Shutter sound in menu doesn't do anything. Sound doesn't work either way.
Dunno why, they are there. Just won't work. *shrug*
So, that is what I did instead of sleep... if anyone notices any more bugs let me know and I'll pretend I know how to fix them. haha!
Install Instructions:
unzip folder to desktop (or on phone using AndroZip or something.)
Move HTCCamera.apk to /System/app/ using Root Explorer or similar. OR, ADB push HTCCamera.apk to /system/app (before doing this, backup your current Camera app...PLEASE!)
fix permissions. ( rw-r--r-- )
move Media_profile.xml to /system/etc (backup first) or ADB push.
fix permissions ( rw-r--r-- )
Just flash attached zip!
Older version.(NON-Flashable.)

sounds great can't wait to try it thanks
trying it now will report back soon, thanks for your work.

I like this, it is nice to be able to increase the quality of the front Camera because I actually do a lot of video calling. I also noticed that it flips my front Camera back right side up. I can't wait until someone unlocks full 1080P ability because i know it in here somewhere and I remember using a EVO 3D Camera app on my OG EVO that had the setting for 1080P. Nice job and keep it up.
would any care to make a flashable zip for this? id love to have but i always mess up when it comes to pushing things via adb(idk why lol)
Camera shutter sound works, you must be missing the ogg file. Its in sys/media/audio/ui....camera_click.ogg. Thanks for the mod works great, hope that helps you out. Here's a link to the ogg file, just drop in that directory and reboot.

I used Root Explorer no problem. Just make sure you fix Permissions accordingly.

Whats up Steel? Yes, I just used this mod myself(with the files posted) and everything is working including shutter sound. Any ideas as to why its not working for others?
No clue really. The mod simply disables forcing the sound on, which puts the on/off toggle back in the menu.
I would love to find out how he set JPEG compression to 0, I've been looking for that for days now.

Simply HDR app alternative

I was an iphone 5 user and made the switch over to the Note 2 recently. One thing I miss is this app called Simply HDR. It's a faux HDR that added some neat effects. I'm no photographer at all so I don't understand your basic photo settings which is why simply HDR was great because you could just choose a pre set and be done.
Does anyone know of an app that does pretty much the same thing, maybe one that I missed?
I have tried pretty much all apps i come across and the only one that comes close is HDR fx. Downside is it is way over done and the photos look over processed and terrible. There is also very few pre sets that create the desired effect.
Have you tried

I purchased the following apps and have had great success with them.
You can see some photos taken with Pro HDR Camera on my Flickr @ http://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/
Pro HDR Camera
HDR FX Pro (Have to play with the settings quite a bit to get the desired effect)
Perfectly Clear (Used to clean up images before sending to HDR FX or perform additional touch-ups after processing with HDR FX)
Pixlr Express (Used to clean up images before sending to HDR FX or perform additional touch-ups after processing with HDR FX and useful for resizing images)
You may also want to take a look at Vignette Camera and Camera FV-5. In my opinion, Camera FV-5 gives you the most control over the settings and pics.
Hope this helps

Unfortuantely the only app that gets close to what im looking to accomplish was photo fx but it was way over processed looking. Ive got to spend time tinkering.
I got an email from the guys at Simplyhdr/JixPix and they plan in releasing simply HDR on android soon hopefully. Its not a natural hdr which most if the apps here seem to be doing actualy hdr function...taking multiple photos and stitching them together. Simlly hdr takes one and creates an hdr effect that seems more dramatic. Hard to explain.

[Mod][All Variants] Camera Improvements [Flashable ZIP]

Hello!
I have been working on this for awhile now.
The stock camera libraries suck. They over sharpen, over saturate, and over noise reduce the jpeg images into garbage.
I hate this.
So I decided to fix this.
With the help of @defcomg , I started to learn how to edit chromatix files etc.
I present you my initial XDA release of this mod.
It affects manual and auto mode in the stock camera and impacts all camera apps.
I have altered tons of aspects of image quality. These are all subjective changes to *my* tastes. I will continue updating this as I can but there can be weeks between updates.
Download: http://buildbox.justbeca.us/jcarlson.html
Please test out and let me know how it goes.

Thanks for this. Will this affect the ported gcam? I'm plenty pleased with its performance and quality. Difference Vs the stock cam is night and day. I wish to have the same quality in manual mode as well hence the question.
Ps. Can you add a few images for comparison between stock and after the mod?
Hmm will it work on LOS? Edit: Never mind. Seems like it's only for stock.

It's not a big deal because I've been using Gcam mainly for anything I need HDR for but if your tweaks have helped the LG cam's HDR in any way it would be nice to try since LG hid the stupid option in the settings menu instead of having it as a quick select option like Gcam
I ran into an issue that I haven't been able to replicate yet but I activated one of the shooting modes and the camera crashed and I had to clear data to get back into the camera. I'll test it out again later but I have a feeling it's a bug related to the V30 port as opposed to something you specifically changed.

Yeah the v30 port has some issues. One reason I removed it from my release. It's buggy. I prefer it to the v20 app but it does have some issues.

Yeah just for future reference, it's the 360° panoramic/Photosphere mode that kills the camera I found out. If you go into this mode then the camera wont open after you close it and you will have to clear data as force close will not help either. At least on mine running WETA ROM on H918 it does.
So do not open 360 panoramic mode.
Haven't tested out all the other modes yet so there may be another one that does it as well just FYI
Haven't really shot many pictures yet but so far it's night and day better than the stock camera.

Thanks for the headsup! I havent tested all those mods as I never use them and didnt think about it. I will see what else crashes it.
Post photos when you get time to take some I am always curious to see other peoples.
I'm keen for the magisk module, I never really liked replacing system files without some kind of easy way to go back, if I don't like the results

It's fairly easy to backup the system partition in TWRP and just restore the backup. That's what I've been doing. Not quite as convenient as magisk but alot better than dirty flashing the ROM in my experience.
Can you revert back to the stock V20 camera after install of this mod? Thanks
Just flashed this and tried it out.
What would help from me to fix a fc bug?
Stock camera app start
Everything is fine
Press mode button
Immediately force closes

Good to see you posted this. I'll stalk here, it's easier. Thanks again for all your work.

Tried force closing the app and then wiping the camera app's data? Not just it's cache?

I have a zip on the site with all the stock files that should work.i would definitely back up your rom first tho.
I will hopefully have a magisk module up next week.

Gcam 6.1 Port with ALL CAMERAS supported in HDR+ enhanced

We finally got a version of 6.1 with the updated libraries and features (Night Sight, etc) that doesn't kill the front camera!
I've been working on this with DefconG and Cstark for a while now, trying to figure out how to fix the noise profile / black levels in the front cam so we aren't stuck with 5.1 (and its arguably inferior image quality and sharpness), and this seems to be the first major breakthrough!
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog924/
It says for Pie, but don't worry. It will install fine on Oreo. You may need to uninstall other 6.1 ports if you are having trouble installing it (on my device it conflicted with a 6.1 Arnova installation).
Front cam and both rear cams are fully supported with HDR+ Enhanced now. Night Sight is also an option. Some new funky feature too like zoom enhancements and other fun things that aren't entirely documented. Use the attached settings XML for the best V20 experience.
Definitely looks sharper, much more config options to fiddle. But after taking more than 2 photos it crashes, both with hdr, hdr enhanced, hdr off and hexagon dsp disabled.
If going for version 6 this looks like the choice.
Thanks for the good work.
Pardon my ignorance, but how do I apply the xml settings?
EDIT:
I think I got it. Writing steps for others here. Thanks man! You're the hero we need.
1. A quick search led to this: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/settings09/
2. Downloading the xml seemed oddly difficult, so I downloaded it on my laptop and transferred it to my phone. It seems to be working fine

Double click the any empty black area near shutter button, it will as for the config. But be sure to copy the xml file to your \gcam\configs directory first.
I'm guessing no 7.0 support?
Night sight seems to be crashing now.. on the main cam especially. Anyone else facing the same?

As far as I know, any GCam after 5.1 needs Oreo or higher, and any GCam from 6.2 on needs Pie or higher.
Sadly doesn't work on H990DS Oreo, I have version mismatch maybe because of that.
Have to go back to 5.1
Hello everyone. First off thank you so much for your work and development. I have been playing around with the 6.1 camera and I think I have everything working, but lens blur keeps force closing while processing the image.
I did download the XML file and double tap in the black area next to the shutter button change to the correct config file. But I'm still having the issue with lens blur is there something that I'm missing? Also, is there a way to make it save directly to the SD card? And any way to brighten up lens blur?
Thanks again for the awesome work. It would be really nice to only need one camera!

Haven't tried Lens Blur yet, but regarding directly saving to SD card, that's not a feature since no Google Pixel phone has an SD card slot. You'll have to rely on an automatic process to move the files for you via something like Tasker or a specific app that someone made:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-gcam-tool-automatically-photos-t3752115
In Settings I changed both front and back cameras to be 16:9. However if I press the camera switch button then the settings does not stay. It goes like this:
Main Camera (16:9) -> Front Camera (16:9) -> Wide Camera (4:3) -> Front Camera (16:9) -> Main Camera (4:3)
Is it possible to fix this behavior so that switching to the Wide camera doesn't remove my Main camera settings?
Apologize for my ignorant. Does this app need root? What is the xml file for?

From my experience:
1. No root required
2. Xml file sets the settings/parameters which are optimal, and also somehow save the app from crashing.
Someone else might be better informed though.

Thanks for your work, really appreciate it
I've noticed that the link goes straight to the Joker version. I've tried latest one: "eldiablo" and it seems to be working fine. Should I stick with the joker version or eldiablo is just fine?
I'm on h990ds with lineage 16
Just installed this on my H990DS. Is there a wide angle option?

There's a couple of ways to toggle the cameras which can be set in the settings menu. One is to long-press the front/back toggle button, the other is to alternate each time you go from rear cam to front cam. The long press seems makes more sense on paper, but in reality it then pauses as it resets the app. Toggling to front cam and then back to rear seems to happen faster so you are ready to take a picture sooner. But then it is confusing because taking a selfie and then back to rear you forget which camera you are on now at first. I wish there was a toggle that worked like in the stock LG app, but the quality of Gcam is so good its worth it.

I haven't tried it yet- I'm just reporting info as the guys tweaking LG cams are filling me in.
The V20 is my wife's phone, and while I spent a considerable amount of time trying to make it take awesome pictures for her, I haven't tried the latest updates. She doesn't always like me stealing her phone to tinker. Let us know how it goes?

Quality of this camera is rather impressive, better than the other 6.1 I had. Is it OK to use eldiablo version or should we use joker one? Thanks
