Hello, as i noticed the stock camera is the only one that takes advantage of the 10bit video (did tried severals filmic, open camera, etc) none of them match the dinamic range of the stock, i wonder if can be modified in order to achieve two things:
- to increase the bitrate from 50 to 200,
- to remove the noise reduction algoritm applied (as open camera does, the footage is much better)
Any ideeas where to start?
Regards

is there possibility to get P500 to record video in higher resolution than VGA? I've tried to change values in system/build.prop, but nothing happened. I guess that the camera app is the problem, as it is made to support just 'built in' resolutions.
Anybody has any ideas? Maybe camera app from other phone? I do not look for HD of course, but little higher res & better audio than 8000hz would be nice
Which values are you using?
Try changing them in the file /data/local.prop, then restart the phone and the changes should take effect
I've tried, didn't work. I guess that resolutions are 'hardcoded' into camera app.
I remember that on Vodafone 845 I managed to record 800x480 video via Bambuser app - the std. camera did 320x240. It was crappy quality (no wonder on that phone), but with a lot of overclocking, it was usable
Hello, i was wandering, how come noone has developed an app or a tweak for the camera that will give us full control of the settings (shutter etc - i know aperture is a hardware thing).
I mean to give us the ability to choose for example shutter times for up to 30" or even more, since this is a software related issue. The main purpose of something like that is for nightsky portraits, that would give pretty good results, because of the camera's low f ratio and focal length
try Camera FV-5 in the play market
actually, that's a kick-a$$ app! just tried it, and works like a charm, even though, due to hardware limitations, long exposure is limited to 640x480
Hi,
I've recently been playing around with various cameras under LOS on the Axon 7.
I've been experimenting with Snap (built in LOS camera), Open Camera, A Better Camera and Footej Camera.
Simply installing the apps and using the default options yields the following order (best to worst):
A Better Camera
Open Camera & Footej Camera (tied 2nd place)
Snap camera
However, by tweaking some of the options in Snap camera, I've been able to get consistently better images than any of the other apps using their defaults.
To improve the quality of Snap make the following tweaks:
- Set Picture Quality to High
- Set ISO to Auto HJR
- Set Contrast to Level 6
- Set Sharpness to Level 3
- Set Auto Exposure to Centre Weighted
I've done side by side comparisons of the four apps and I've found that Snap leads the pack with the tweaked settings. As an aside, I used the app PhotoGrid to create the zoomed side by side images.
I'd be interested to hear back from others re: their experiences using the tweaks to improve image quality.
One final note, I also tried using the Axon 7 stock B04 camera on LOS, but it was consistently worse than any of he other four options so I removed it. There is a magisk module for B04 if you want to try this for yourself.

Here are some comparison images. For each image the apps are represented in the following order:
Footej Camera - A Better Camera
Open Camera - Snap Camera (with tweaks)
I have tried your settings and the results with snap camera were a bit better.
Because I ve used high resolution mode the differences where less significant.
I tried a comparison with axon 7 camera mod for LOS and it's quality is still the best in my opinion.
1. Snap @ high res settings
2. Snap @ your settings
3. Axon 7 camera mod (Tapatalk app bug uploads media to his own server.)

Hi,
Thank you for taking the time to test.
Your first image was noticeably better than the other two (you could see the marks on the thermometer).
Are you using B05, B04 or some other version of the LOS camera mod?
I tried the B04 magisk version of the mod but didn't find that it produced good results. Perhaps I should try B05.
Regards,
JamesK
I am using b04 Magisk by kingo.
Ive used the screenshot function on my device. Cropping images resulted in lower image quality.
I took a look on the numbers of the thermometer and on my devices screen I had the best images with zte cam.
One small note. The object is appx 3 meters away from me and the pictures were taken after tap focusing the object.

Thank you for the details. The only difference with the images I attached is that I zoomed to 100‰ on the original images.
As mentioned, when I tried this with B04, the image quality was not as good as the other camera apps.
I'll reinstall it and try again. Perhaps. I overlooked something.
Thanks again for your feedback
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.

Image 1 and 3 are screenshots ?
Photo seems actually nice on camera tweaked but your presentation and samples look weird... what's your mod actually modifying to improve quality??
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

Upload to imgur or any other site that doesn't compress the photos. Thx

Falsh first one after that second one
I was wondering if there is a camera app out there that allows one to take a picture and record video using all three lenses simultaneously. I'd like three individual video files saved: ultra wide, normal, and telephoto. I have looked around and this appears to be unique to the LG V40 (for photos not videos) but it creates a lame slideshow with transitions effects I dont want.
Thanks!
Dont think its possible, since video recording uses the CPU alot. And filming with 3 lenses would be pretty difficult for the cpu, maybe in low quality it would be possible...
