[Camera] Tweak thread to make M9`s camera even better :)

First of all, I would like to thank all those guys from "Photos Taken With M9" thread.
HUGE GREAT BIG AWESSOME THANKS go to @starbase64 ; @defcomg ; @hamdir !!!
SO THANK YOU MATES!!!!

Since HTC made a bad software, that compress data from chip and creates jpeg, many of us hoped for something new, something better. With every update we prayed for better noise control. Some prays were heard, some were not. Theese hard times a few heroes, that see thru codes and hacks found a way how to make our photos better. Enough talks, lets go for it!

DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE YOU DO TO YOUR PHONE USING SOME OF THIS HACKS

Build.prop tweaks:
For better noise controling, faster shots etc.. :)

How to: In system folder is build.prop file. Open it (for example) in ES file explorer (you have to check root explorer) and simply add theese lines at the end of it. :)

persist.camera.qcwnr.enabled=0 / this command removes HTC`s color noise reduction.
camera.eis.enable=0 / this command disable electronical image stabilisation
persist.camera.snap.format=1 / this forces subsampling to 2:1 (default is 2:2) , about subsampling : http://www.cerious.com/help8sp1/jpeg_sub_sampling.html
persist.denoise.process.plates=x / REPLACE "X" with 0,1,2,3 where:

Quote:

Y = Luminance Channel CBCR = Color Channels 0 = CAM_WAVELET_DENOISE_YCBCR_PLANE | Quality Priority Color & Luma 1 = CAM_WAVELET_DENOISE_CBCR_ONLY | Quality Priority Color only 2 = CAM_WAVELET_DENOISE_STREAMLINE_YCBCR | Speed Priority Luna & Color. This is the default profile used BTW 3 = CAM_WAVELET_DENOISE_STREAMLINE_CBCR | Speed Priority Color only.

LONGER EXPOSURE than 2s

This tweak is about getting longer exposure in manual, RAW mode.
I am able to get 4sec long exposure. Some are able to get 4.9.

Its complicated, because it depends on firmware version of your ROM.
But you can do it by your own using HEX editor.

1. You need file /system/lib/hw/camera.msm8994.so
2. In HEX editor find B4 EE E0 8A and change it to F4 EE 60 0A
3. You need also /system/vendor/lib/libmmcamera_t4ka7.so
4. In HEX editor find B4 EE 61 8A and change it to F4 EE 61 1A
5. Save those files in your SDcard. Backup original files. Delete original files from those directories and paste those new. I dont know why, but overwriting didnt worked for me.
6. Find res_ctrl.conf in /system/ETC/
7. Edit it via this quote:

I am attaching modified camera.msm8994.so and libmmcamera_t4ka7.so for ViperOneM9 3.5.0 based on 2.10.401.1.

My camera settings:

Quote:

build.prop: persist.camera.qcwnr.enabled=0 camera.eis.enable=0 persist.camera.snap.format=1 persist.denoise.process.plates=0 In camera app: 10:7 ratio big resolution contrast +0,5 saturation +0,5 sharpeness -2

At the end, I would like to said that this oficial post is under construction and all critics are welcome.
Thank you and have a nice photos :cool:
