Serious Camera Improvements with 1.29 OTA!

Just read this article about the 1.29 OTA which is currently rolled out (sorry, it's in german): http://www.androidpit.de/htc-one-update-fotos
(you see before and after pictures, with after on the right)
I knew that HTC did something to the camera software, but I didn't expect the results to be THAT different, looks awesome! Like the author says, it looks like "the gray veil has been lifted"!

HTC One updated with camera enhancement suite and more in Europe
• Improvement to sound capture with Zoe
• Noise reduction in slow motion movie capture
• Improved color reproduction and dynamic range (reduced over-exposure in non-HDR images) in certain conditions
• Fix to display correct ISO in EXIF information when ISO settings are manually changed by the user
• Improved system performance and stability

So the ones with the Developers Edition are out of luck?

I got 1.29.111.11, anyone know what the difference is or where info can be found?

The custom roms ha ve been on this version for a few days now. I can confirm there are definitely light and day improvements, I can't compare with the old version but it's definitely noticeable once you move from stock to custom roms with 1.29xxx.12

Excellent! Any word when it's coming to Australia ?

Hopefully we get this soon in the US.

Brilliant looking comparisons! I have to say i havent had a problem with the camera as is (i use the HDR mode mostly)

Let's hope it's rolled out by the carriers ASAP

That's great news! Can't wait.

Mines on 1.28.61.7 and the camera takes amazing pictures
As for the samples in the thread I think the pics on the left are better although it looks like a simple contrast alteration to me.

"Beats Audio Enhancements"
Did anyone notice better sound coming from the speakers with Beats enabled?
I don't have the phone yet, but I know that some people are complaining about hissing. Did 1.29 correct that?
Thanks!

Good to know but are you sure buttons responding with slite and one touch?

[CM11] Android 4.4 Kitkat Preview By temasek Video REVIEW

Hey guys! So as you would have probably seen, Android 4.4 kitkat is out for the Galaxy S3 ! Big news right, I know im excited!
So I checked it out, its smooth and as far as I can tell pretty damn stable, no crashes or bugs for the short time I was using it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVipBbrfCkQ
This video goes over the basics, Theres not a lot in it which is to be expected and the video doesnt contain as much information as id like, you could probably hear I was talking fast and too excited to actually record! nevertheless, I will make another video when its got more features or if theres a newer version Etc.
Let me know what you think, are you going to install it?

I, for one, can't see the video.

thanks for clearing that up so everyone can know

Theres been quiet a few new versions out for this ROM, might give it a go

Good review. I've now got version 10 installed and it is working perfectly. Super fast, no fc issues, and pretty decent battery life so far.

Thanks for all.

Hello,
Great ROM! I have a question though... Does anyone know where I can find the setting for Active Display? I'm not sure if the functionality is in there... I'm on V8.
Thank you in advance!

Nice video. I have a lot of faith in Temasek. He is a great dev!
Cheers

I am interested in whether there is support for Bulgarian language! This stops me try! Sorry for bad English!

This ROM is amazing. There are some camera issues but as I never use the camera it's become my daily. The battery life is a huge step up from samsung ROMs, I put my phone through quite heavy usage and 1 charge a day is more than enough. Compare that to it basically living on the charger cable with other ROMs. I've had 6 devices and many variants of CM, this is right up there in terms of optimisation and speed. I'm sure once temasek resolves the few remaining issues it will be one to beat. Can't recommend it enough. Haven't been this excited for ROM releases since codefirex on my old desire HD.

No way!

I'm a bit confused. Does anyone know if we get an OTA 5.0 rom provided by OnePlus or a CM12(s) rom? Or does that info come on 12 februari?

We should get a CM 12S ROM via OTA. The newly announced ROM is for places like India where cyanogen and oneplus have have been having issues with agreements. It will most likely be available for all for download though.

Good cause a big reason I bought this phone was to have cyanogen as stock ROM.

We can probably stick with whatever ROM you're using and you'll get OTA for it. But if you're already on CM and want to switch, I assume you'll need to flash OP's ROM before you can get OTA from them. I don't think there will be a CM -> OP ROM migration path.

Definitely not.

Let's see if they do what they say.

They've leaked some screenshots of OxygenOS, nothing too exciting--just the app drawer and weather app.

If that screenshots are real and that will be the official OxygenOS appearence, i will bet all in CM12s. At first looks, it's ugly IMO.

Ugly? I like it, but I liked MIUI too

Can't really tell that much from the pics to be honest. Im guessing you could probably use nova and an icon pack if things dont look that nice. Plus in the pics it looks like the hardware buttons are being used, would like to see the dock and nav buttons. Will probably being going with the one in the video below anyway this, guessing that this is CM12S as it looks a lot more like stock 5.0.

The kernel information says cyanogenmod so i think this video is a teaser of the upcomming CM12(s) rom. They have edited the description of the movie because it said oxygenos first.

Yea, I was trying to read that but couldnt see it
Although the apps that show in the drawer pretty much confirm it, as there appears to be apollo music app, dsp app, etc.

Update Zip to enable DT2W on Huawei / Honor devices

If you are using a Huawei / Honor device without DT2W (double tap to wake), you can enable it using this zip file (apply from TWRP).

we need a kernel to support dt2w

I tried it, the option shows in settings but only DT2S works on lockscreen. When i try to DT2W nothing happens. Probably kernel related. I know that we have fingerprint for unlock...but could be nice to use this feature, after all almost every huawei device has it. We have to hope in a custom kernel...someday

I use the 'ALWAYS ON DISPLAY' app from the playstore, supports dt2w, a feature I've grown quite faint of since owning a LG before this phone... It's a way to get it back plus the always on display from the s7/s8

Hi there,
How much does it shorten the battery life? Obviously the phone is not sleeping when this is on and unlike oled, the LCD requires backlight to be on to work.
Also can you choose another style? I'd like something more minimalistic if I were to use it.

I too would like to know how much battery resorses this app needs?
Please tell us more about your experiance with this app and dt2w

It does have several other modes, some of which are definitely more minimal...
As for battery life I can't really complain of a huge difference. Especially with root because this app works great in conjunction with Greenify, also helps to keep the brightness turned down low, and pocket mode enabled (turns screen off when proximity sensor is covered). All in all it does seem to very from day to day tho. Some days I can't even tell that it's affected my battery life whatsoever, and some days I can tell that it does somewhat. But never go the point that I reconsider it's worth. To me it's a no Brainer!

Can I use AAC codec for a Bluetooth device not included in the Qualcomm Whitelist? (airpods, wf 1000x, qcy t1....)
For other manufacturers, codecs are available. Sony is not possible. Qualcomm told the manufacturer to change the settings. Sony has not changed the settings. Did sony update this at this time?

Camera look like so as in 2.33

Unfortunately I installed Pie on my Xperia XZ Premium. Phone is now completely useless becouse I cannot even change volume of ringer. Is it any way to repair xz premium without unlocking bootloader? I wonder back to Android Oreo or Nougat? I have bought fully working phone without silly limitation from Android 9.0. Maybe the best way is to send phone on RMA where they repair phone or send phone directly to seller and request another one without defect known as Android Pie?
