Hello all,
has anyone a solution for this problem?
Evertime i make a photo with the build-in camera
i get this bad low-res result in the photo-video tab thumbnail.Have tryed differend roms in the past
with no succes for a better thumbnail resolution.
Thanks for help
After opening and overwrite the original photo (using image editor Resco Photo Viewer) i get a perfect thumbnail in photo video tab.Why isnt this possible with photos directly from the camera?
Hi! I´ve been searching alot for this and hope somone can help
Is it possible to capture an HDR time lapse? When i push the button for recording the screen is pushing the lightning to normal mode.
Also the finished video is no hdr even when hdr is acitve.
Anyone know why? I can capture hdr pictures but not in timelapse. That doesn´t make sense to me
Do you just give up on slow-motion video, fast photo shooting, digital stabilised photos/video ? - or is there a way to get all those features also with a non-samsung ROM ?
Hello
I was wondering can we improve camera quality on our Redmi Pro, especialy video recording. I am very pleased with this device, except camera quality. This is not bad hardware or sensor, this is just bad software implementation and optimization. I hope that Xiaomi will improve something in future updates.
I have tried to change some settings in camera app. For best still picture quality you can set saturation and cotrast to high, and sharpness leave at medium. With this settings pictures will look more punchy and vibrant. When you put sharpnes also to high, picture look to much artificial with some artifacts.
For Video we do not have similar settings like sharpnes, saturation and contrast. It is shame that with Sony IMX258 we have such soft video recording.
I have tried to use some other camera apps, and no camera app can improve video recording quality. With Cinema FV5 you can change bittrate to 30Mbps but quality stays the same.
I noticed that in low light conditions video recording drops to 15FPS and a bitrate around 10-12Mbps with stock camera. This is awfull image quality. With google camera, recording video in low light is better, bittrate is 17Mbps and FPS is 30. Image is a little bit darker, but much much smoother than stock camera.
I have question now. What libs and settings google camera is using for video recording? It is for sure something different from stock camera.
I Have tried to edit omega.xml in system/etc/device_features. I have copied gemini.xml, edited vendor string from qcom to mediatek, set permisions like the original file. Then I renamed original to omega.xml.old and gemini.xml to omega.xml. Rebooted and camera app worked just fine. In video modes I got audio zoom feature, and in manual picture mode unlocked everything. But there is no 4K recording, regerdless that in xml file 4k was set to 'true'.
So where are the others settings stored?
I have read something about editing lib files, shared objects *.SO files. And this is very hard to edit or do somekind of reverse enginering. Maybe someone have knowlege to do this? Or we do not need to edit lib files at all?
I am ready to test everything on my phone, so if someone have idea how can we edit camera app, google camera app, or something else to enable 4k, to improve qulity of 1080p recording, or even enable 1080p 60FPS mode.
Also I have tried to edit build.prop and add line persist.camera.HAL3.enable=1 and this will do nothing. In system lib and lib64 folder I have found files with names HAL3a.V3. I dont know is this mean something.
I am just thinking that is a shame to have very capable helio x25 and a solid sony sensor and such a mediocre image quality.
Thanks everyone in advance, and I hope that we will find some good ideas for improving our Redmi Pro
You have unlocked manual camera mode including long exposure/shuttertine and manual focus? Have you tried these two features? For me just the buttons are unlocked, but no changes if you shoot a photo or used the manual zoom has no effect. Could you explain "edited vendor string from qcom to mediatek"
You are wright, I forgot to mention that those two functions do not work. I have decompiled stock camera app from system to see xml and smali files. I dont have enough knowlege to do some mods and recompile it. Maybe someone can help. So far, i have seen in those file that camera app recognize if your vendor is mtk or qcom and base on that unlock 4K video recording and other functions. We need help from someone to look at that app and try to modify it, to change some values etc.

Hey I think you get de wrong command on build.pro, the right one in "persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1"...
And about 4k video... I don't think it's gonna work cause the processor maybe can't handle this. And 1080 at 60fps maybe it's possible.

1080 at 60 fps maybe work
So, any one knows what exactly on Android system handle all this?. It's on encoder? It's on camera driver? I don't think of just a "app" will change anything. It's has something like a encode line or a lib. Any modder? I had looking for a mod for that sensor but until now, the only thing what works is about Hal3 on build.prop.
Anyone know how to get 60 fps 1080?
On the one hand, it is great that the Zenfone 3 can take photos in RAW format (dng files). On the other hand, the only app that I have found so far that works with the Zenfone 3 and saves RAW format photos is Lightroom.
Has anyone found any other RAW format camera apps that work with the Zenfone 3?
OpenCamera and Camera FV-5 have both been great for me for RAW photo shooting.
Thanks sensi277.
Very few reviews list that as one of its features and none of the RAW camera app lists that I found list Open Camera.
I did not realize that Open Camera has RAW support even though I already had it on my phone.
Now I can uninstall Lightroom as it has very few features as a camera app.
Keep in mind that capturing RAW might expose one stop hot on the Zenfone 3. It's a bit strange, but it means you need to set your exposure compensation to about -1EV when capturing RAW or else things will be overexposed. It does this with every app I've tried, on and off.
