Hey everyone!
First and Foremost, DO A NANDROID BACKUP!!!!! I am not responsible for any mistakes that you make or if anything happens to your phone.
for thoes who want to test non compression settings and are rooted :
you can flash in magisk and that allows to set jpeg 100%
It's only work with stock camera . It's has no effect in gcam or ....
Changelog:
V1-
-set JPEG quality to 100%
-Increase 1080 and 4k bit rate
-Set audio to channel 2 (stereo)
-Increase audio bit rate
-Increase photos details
V2-
-Some changes for better vibrance and saturation
V3-
-Increase video quality
-Increase audio quality
-Increase photos details
V4-
- Larger Image Buffer
- Larger colour information flow from colour sensor in blend matrix
- Better overall handling of ISO exposure settings
- Better low light performance
- Less noise in low ISO
- More aggressive handling of high ISO aliasing
- Extra frame of bracketing for HDR modes
Enjoy
What does it contain?
Yes, some explanation and info would be welcome haha.
EDIT : guys, don't flash until we have more info.
look at the README:
Changelog:
Code:
v1 - Initial Release
v2 - Fixed the earpiece not working throughout the system
v3 - Fixed Earpiece not switching from multimedia to calls
v4 - Fixed bluetooth audio issue
v5 - Fixed right channel not playing through main speaker
v6 - Fixed latency issue between earpiece and main speaker
The rest seems legit, so it doesn't seem to be a scam, however, it would be good to know exactly what it does. Also, since you used as a model the stereo speaker mod from @acervenky , it would be nice to give him some credit.

More sharp and WB super accurate
Works as a module and easy to uninstall?
Just delete from magisk model

Apart from JPEG quality, which was set to 100% by you, these files have no impact on photos, processing or whitebalance.
They control video.
Also, OnePlus' stock camera and for example GCam are already using 95% JPEG quality.
There is no noticeable difference between 95 and 100%. All this does is needlessly increasing filesize.
Providing downsized samples through the forum is also not saying anything.
The "difference" which can be seen in your samples is not caused by the change you did to the files.
You just took a bad photo from what I can see (bad focus / handshake?!).
Also keep in mind that stock camera sometimes does not apply postprocessing when using it right after GCam.
Clear recents first if you compare them.
If I missed something, please provide thorough information to what you've actually changed.
No disrespect, but in terms of photo-quality this is a placebo-tweak.

Looking at the files I agree with the earlier comment, looks like your touching video encoding/decoding... don't see anything related to picture in there...

In V3 I make changed in Media profile to change jpeg quality and increase audio quality and force it to record stereo and increase video quality by changing bit rate
In part 2 I add some tweak
I belief with this mod you can get better results than stock
Camera or gcam
V3 increase gcam quality too
I'm so busy now and couldn't test or send good samples
If you have any ideas to increase quality just say it

Hello, there is my modded camera app.
The changelog:
V1
Initial release - 128kpbs audio 24khz
A little camera improvement to record and capture
V2
Audio improvement - fixed 128kbps 44.1khz audio
Improved fps on video - video recording runs almost the time smoothly just a few lags like 1sec when the system have to adjust the white balance(can happens sometime, and depends of your sd card capabilitie)
Faster auto-focus in both functions (camcorder and camera).
A little more post processing on pictures
V3
A little video and picture improving.
Faster image saving.
Touch capture problem stills, trying to manage something to make it works better.
V4
Picture improvement.
Saving takes about 1~2secs.
V5
Picture improvement
Black Layout
V6
Build over .435 stock app ROM
Number of pictures now its right.
V7 - Actual release.
Fix audio bug by reducing audio specs, now is 96kbps and 16khz ( the audio continue stoping before video but is only about 0,3~0,5s, the original camera does it too)
8mpbs video capturing - more smooth videos.
Video capturing time is corrected like on the V6 for pictures.
V8 - built over 435 original file
No audio mods - the sound should work 100% without delays
Same picture quality as v7 improved macro mode
Video bitrate can be modded with build.prop
V9 - Used .16 file
Audio mod to 96kbps and 44.1khz frequency but audio cutted on the last 2 seconds
reduced bps for video, from 6mbps to 3,5mbps, gives me better fps, on good/medium light conditions always 24fps
dont use this with build.prop modifications it wont change nothing
V10 (image mod as v8 and new video mods)
Following V9 specs but:
Increased bps from 3.5mbps to 4mbps = less pixelization and same improvement in general fps (max / min / avg)
audio original but with 96kbps/16khz, take about 5 movies and the audio got sync!
Tips.
Defrag your SD card it can make all the system works better
Macro Mode: Use macro mode if the image that you´re capturing is below 10cm else use normal mode.
Tests.
Daylight capture

v10http://www.multiupload.com/WK1EO8W2JE[/URL]
Now I´m starting to think that the original app its getting closer or even better to Vignette! the macro mode is the only mode that vignette remains superior but depends if the software focus correclty the object, but in other modes and distances it seems to be very good, and having a file 2mb smaller and don´t have to wait more than 3 seconds to take the next picture and after that I can connect my usb cable to open my pics on pc, to me, there is no reason to keep with vignette if you only wants to take picture and not use filters =), but you decide!
Instructions (new steps 2)
Using Root Manager copy the SemcCameraApplication.apk to /system/app overwriting the original one.
Long press on the overwrited app and select Permissions, and make sure that these options are checked: the whole first column and the first from the second.

Step 2 only for V8!!!
To record with max bitrate you need to add these line on build.prop of your phone
ATENTION - IF YOUR CAMCORDER START CRASHING WHEN RECORDING TRY LOW DOWN THE BPS OF VIDEOS LIKE 8000000=8mbps to 6000000=6mbps, BECAUSE YOUR SD CARD CAN´T HANDLE THIS BPS

ro.media.enc.vid.mp4.bps=6000000,16000000
ro.media.enc.vid.mp4.fps=21,24
Original LordKitsuna build.prop modification
ro.media.enc.vid.m4v.bps = 800000000,800000000
ro.media.enc.vid.m4v.fps = 18,30
ro.media.enc.vid.h263.bps = 800000000,800000000

*thanks to LordKitsuna !
Don´t know how to edit build.prop, you must open it on a text editor and modify.
Reboot and be happy!
Why 864x480 i thought X10 Resolution is 854x840
I'm still looking inside.
Ive got a better camrecording.
Seems that 128kbps is the limit to audio.
Soon I release a xrecovery v2 version
Hope you enjoy.

I am right when i say that this is nothing for FreeX10 2.2 beta 2 users?
Sry, cant see any improve in photo samples...does the 100% improve something??? The image size before and after is almost the same...
Hi,
Is not for 2.2 users, maybe in a close future when I finish it I start to play with 2.2.
I am still modding. The picture jpeg compression was changed, but I changed a little more things to come in v2!
Thanks for your feedback

cant wait Im taking photos all the time more than taking videos...
PS:My thought is, that increase of jpeg compression HAVE to increase size (MB) of the photos, this is my experience from other phones (samsung i8510, i8910, SE Vivaz)...I made photos before and after the change and the size was +-the same 30kB difference...
Any improvements in the 720p recording area? Maybe you could try fiddling with it to see if we can get a better video quality with better fps as well?
I think that quality is pretty decent...fps is the problem...

No problem, I am start to looking into these configurations to see how can we make it better!
I found the sizes configuration and limits and I will increase them, I will too decrease jpeg compression, we can have a better image.

Looking at the videos that I posted, you will see, after a camera movimentation the images get stable very fast! and the autofocus it´s working a little better (changed the search time to take less time between focusing)
there is low fps just a few moments, comparing with some old videos I this its getting better
I will work now and when I back, I will made some adjustments in the cam app to fix some issues I was looking like, have to double press camera buttom to start video, some crashs, incorrect time left calculation.
the quality of the image we can get better with a little more bps but I´m looking for this because seems to be limited by micro sd card.

really appreciate your work...just suggestion please compare pictures (different compression) in good light conditional as the low light really messes pictures and degrades your improvements...
...please could you look into one function in camera it calls touch capture...it never focuses on near object but to background when the near object isn't in center of camera sight...Im sure you know what I mean...
Thanks!
But it's possible to put 128 kbps & 44.1 KHz in the audio quality?

Hmm I see some good job here Just a question, can You modify camera app to bring LED flash shortcut to the main screen? Going through advanced options just to enable flash is real pain.
Also tried touch capture, doesn't work for objects at ~10cm.
Hey,
I think like most users i bought an Sony-E Phone because i was used to the good quality of photos. But the quality of the neo is a bit disappointing... There are still some good configuration possibilities.
Ill try to make a list:
Pro:
+ Shoots very fast
+ with a stable hand can take good pictures in low light conditions
+ A lot of options (Focus, smile detection, britghtness setting...)
negative:
- Quality isn´t that good, the transition between colors is a bit chompy.
- low contrast and saturation.
So normally i take a picture and after that i edit it in picture pro (normally only contrast and brightness settings)
So i thought it would be rly great if a dev could mod the camera.apk with some auto contrast/brightness settings.
From editing a lot of pictures i would propose settigs like:
Contrast: +20-25
Exposure: +10
Brightness -10
(Saturation): +10 (can be oversaturated with macro pictures)
This settings are enough to make the picture look way better, but also not to artifical. (Optionally make a camera mod, where the user can configure his own settings)
--> Btw. I used the search function and i found from different threads, that pic qualitity is bad, because of the 2x2 Chroma sub-sampling (Processing) and that with Camera 360/Camera zoom (quality not 100) you can take pictures with slithtly better quality
(credits go the the discoverer)
(Ps. I hope my english was not to bad it is not my best subject in school : ))

Agree here but is it even possible to mod the camera app like this....
Sent from my MT15i using xda premium
Hey guys,
I'm using Global Stable 10.3.4 and I can definitely notice stock cam has improved.
However, where it remains the same is on fine details, like bricks, fabrics, etc. where is noticeable that software compresses image and delete all fine details, image becomes blurred.
I've been playing with Gcam port from this forum and it doesn't suffer from this, AS LONG as jpeg quality is set to 100%. When Gcam jpeg quality is set to 85% or lower, I get the same blur and lack of detail.
My suspicion is that MIUI stock cam jpeg quality is not set to 100%. Could it be possible to tweak it a D force it somewhere to make stock cam use 100% quality as in Gcam?
Many thanks in advance
Well you have contrast, saturation and sharpness options in the settings menu of the miui camera app, try playing with that a bit!
Hopefully.
Tested on: RR ROM (not GSI) from https://build.lolios.ml/sirius/
GCam version: Arnova's Advanced 1.5 Download
Config xml file: see attachments Alternative Download
Disclaimer
If you're not using my same setup I can't guarantee the same results, though I think this should apply, for the most part, no matter the ROM you're using. If you're using a GSI I think it should work the same as long as you have flashed the gcam fix zip (or Magisk module).
Introduction
I chose Arnova's mod because it's the most customizable out there. To get it working straight out of the box:
Install GCam
Create directory /sdcard/GCam/Configs if it doesn't exist
Move xml config file to the directory
Long press on the GCam icon and select "Take a video"
Double-tap on empty space below shutter
Choose the xml file from the menu and click restore
Step 4 is necessary because trying to lauch with the defaults options results in a crash, but not in video mode. We're using this as workaround to import the settings in order to fix the crash and configure the camera.
I'll now describe every setting that I chose to edit so that you can understand why I set it up the way it is. Most of these settings are based on personal preference so feel free to experiment for yourself.
Settings
Mod settings - Advanced - FIX - RAW10 in front
Enabled.
Fixes the camera crash on app launch.
Mod settings - Advanced - FIX - Buffer Fix
Enabled.
Fixes viewfinder lag. Doesn't fix it for Night Sight. Also, I remember this wasn't needed when using GSI + gcam fix zip so if you're using a GSI maybe try disabling this and see how it goes.
Autoexposure correction
1/10 sec.
This setting is very important. It controls the balance between noise and blurriness / time it takes to shoot a frame.
Basically, here's what this does. When you take a picture there are a few factors that influence how bright the picture will be. These factors are width of the objective, time the camera spends taking the picture (also known as shutter speed) and the sensor sensitivity (also known as ISO). Unlike regular cameras, the width of the objective is fixed (I believe) so on our phone we're limited to ISO and shutter speed. The longer the shutter speed, the more time the sensor is exposed to light, the brighter the picture. If you're not steady though, longer shutter speeds will result in blurry photos. Increasing ISO, on the other hand, will allow you to keep shutter speed low and have sharp images, but will significantly increase the amount of noise in the picture.
What this setting does is set a limit to how high the shutter speed can get before it will resort to increasing ISO if it needs to. The default settings of Off gave pretty bad results for me - picking 1/50 and 2000+ ISO where 1/10 and 300 ISO did perfectly fine - though feel free to experiment for yourself. Keep in mind the actual time to take the pic will be at most this setting times the HDR+ parameters setting. So if you have the default setting of 9 for HDR+ and 1/10 like I do it will take at most 0.9s to take a picture.
Correction NightSight
1 sec.
Same as Autoexposure Correction but for Night Sight mode. I set this to a very long time but it's totally personal preference so feel free to tweak this. As you may have guessed, I really dislike noisy pictures...
Pixel 3 AWB
Enabled.
See the GCam ports site relative FAQ.
I found it produces warmer colors. It also seems to only work if you use Pixel 3 or Pixel 3XL as models. Feel free to change.
Mod settings - Advanced - Base - Model
Pixel 3 for both cameras.
Tested other models and didn't find any difference except Pixel 3 AWB stopped working except for Pixel 3XL.
Mod settings - Advanced - Noise reduction
Everything disabled.
Trying enabling them but they didn't really seem to work so I left them off.
Mod settings - Advanced - FIX - Using Sabre
Auto.
Sabre FAQ. I left Auto because I have no clue what that's supposed to mean. Tried both On and Off and they worked but I couldn't spot a difference. It supposedly makes pictures better though, so set to On if you'd like.
Mod settings - Advanced - Libs
Stock by Google.
I just left the default because I tried the other ones and found no difference. Try them for yourself if you feel like it.
Mod settings - Advanced - Enable Auto exposure
Disabled.
This is weird one, most of the times it crashed the app right after shooting (didn't store the pics), other times it worked but I saw no difference. Don't think we're missing out on anything.
Photo - Advanced - "Motion" function
Disabled.
Enabling crashes the app, it might work with different models settings / configs (in Mod settings - Advanced - Base) but I didn't bother because I don't really care for it. If you somehow get it to work, please report back. Thanks!
Photo - Advanced - Optical Stabilization (OIS)
Disabled.
MI 8 SE doesn't have OIS. Not much to say.
Video - Advanced - Init SlowMo with
120 FPS.
Setting this to 120 FPS instead of the default 240 FPS allows to use both 1/4 and 1/8 speed for slow motion.
By the way, I believe that while most of this guide should also apply to GSIs, iirc slow-mo is broken on GSI and there's not much you can do about it. Sorry.
I hope to have cleared up the confusion about GCam, I surely was very confused when I first started looking into it and was quite overblown with all the settings.
Let me know if you know about anything that could be added to the guide.
Thank you!

True, it's a limitation of the default MIUI launcher. You can install a third party launcher temporarily and use that. To my knowledge there's no other way around it, unfortunately.

Glad to hear that! The reduced noise is just the result of the shutter speed setting, I'm still very doubtful about setting 1/10 as limit, sometimes I feel like it's way too long... Especially because it seems like once you've set it it becomes super aggressive in picking it instead of a more sensible combination like 300 ISO - 1/50 shutter speed.

Better quality photos are more important than waiting(shutter speed) in my opinion. Colors are sharp and contrast is higher than standart gcam. These settings give really good results. Sharp and clean photos :good:
The app crashes every time I take photos with hdr+ off. And in BSG v2e the shutter speed of hdr+ is so much faster than hdr+ enhanced which is useful if I want to take photos in crowded places

True, thanks for the report. I'll try and see if I can find a workaround. Shutter speed gets faster if you set Autoexposure correction to off, but ISO gets a lot higher as a result and produces very noisy pics.

How to use config(xml)
Configs
Let's get started!
1. Go to settings and scroll to the very bottom where XML configs are mentioned.
2. Go to this item and save the config (naming it as you like, the main thing is to create a path)
3. Go to the path that was specified in the save (/ GCam /config7 ) and copy the configs there.
4. Go into the camera and click on an empty space near the white button and gallery on the right several times. A panel will appear in which all the configs that have been saved will be displayed, select them and click restore.
! The camera will restart and this will mean that the configs have taken effect!
Hope I could explain. Good luck
What is Lib Patcher ?
Libpatcher - is a custom setting where you can set all the settings to your liking
Radius Temporal: changes the graininess of the image by affecting noise, the higher the image is more blurry and less noise, the lower the more noisy, but more detail
Tone Curve: Adjust dark points, white points, shadows, highlights. It is recommended to enable and leave the default values.
Sharpness: allows you to control the sharpness of the image. Zoom in for low-light shots, and zoom out for selfies. THIS IS A PERSONAL PREFERENCE, ADJUST TO YOUR NEEDS
Luminance Noise Reduction: Controls the “graininess” in images caused by high ISO. Decrease it to get more detail at the expense of high noise, or increase it if the noise is unacceptable to you
Color Noise Reduction: Controls color spots. There is usually no need to adjust it as this will not improve the quality, but you can increase it slightly if you see colored spots in the dark. Too much chroma noise can cause a decrease in saturation. Also known as color noise
Contrast: allows you to control the contrast of the image. Increase it if you want darker shadows, and decrease it to make it brighter. THIS IS A PERSONAL PREFERENCE, REGULATE IT IN YOUR NEEDS
Saturation: allows you to control the saturation of the image. Increase it if you want more saturated colors in your photos. THIS IS A PERSONAL PREFERENCE, ADJUST TO YOUR NEEDS
Luminance noise reduction levels
Level 1 (Detail) changes the photo very slightly, slightly smoothing out small elements
Level 2 (Rough Surfaces) seriously alters the image by smoothing grain
Level 3 (Edges) doesn't change much. Smooths edges slightly
Level 4 (Smooth Surfaces) radically alters the image by making it posterized by smoothing out large areas of the same color. Avoid magnification over 1.0
Color noise reduction levels
Level 1 (Detail) fine textures, but the same applies to rough details
Level 2 (Rough surfaces) fine textures, but the same applies to rough details
Level 3 (Edges) Edges are mainly defined by the contrast between one object and another
Level 4 (Smooth Surfaces) Smooth surfaces are generally uniform areas of the image. Like wallpaper with few small details

All's working fine here. Can you try to download from the second post within that same thread? I reuploaded there.
And download only the "BETA 4" variant and not the latest.

This is G Cam's best version till now. Loved it.
Thanks.
Hi ! Thanks for the work.
With the 8.xxx version I have to install Google Photos if I want to watch the pics or videos I've just taken from this app. Is there a way to change that ? I don't want and don't need Google Photos.
