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

I installed Vignette to make a comparative configuration 8mpx and superfine!
All pics are with fluorescent light.

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.m4v.bps=6000000,16000000
ro.media.enc.vid.m4v.fps=21,24
ro.media.enc.vid.h263.bps=6000000,16000000
ro.media.enc.vid.h263.fps=21,24
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
ro.media.enc.vid.h263.fps = 18,30
ro.media.enc.vid.mp4.bps = 800000000,800000000
ro.media.enc.vid.mp4.fps = 18,30
*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
Sent from my X10a using Tapatalk
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.
I am posting too a video source from a test with my current camera app, while I am testing.

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.

I'm getting my Nexus 5 tomorrow, will be instantly rooting/unlocking it but after that I'd love to test out your camera mod. I looked at your work with the G2 and I think I am more than qualified to do some proper comparison tests.
I can be tester. Can you also do 16:9 still image capture?
Thanks man. We just flash these in TWRP, yeah?

So I gave this a try, haven't even looked at the pics yet just uploaded them to imageshack, no editing or optimising.
I took a picture of an object indoors and with good lighting, and then took 2 outside shots on my deck, one with flash, one without.
I then flashed the mod and took the same pics again, here we go. The first picture in each one is going to be stock, non mod. The next picture of the same type is going to be of the mod.
Surely the Images are sharper in the second pics.. .. (Purely My View)

Definitely are, except the outdoor deck pic with no flash, to me it seems like the stock photo is better in low light at least in that pic.
But it is nearly 4am and I'm half asleep so who knows.
Just did a video, 24fps.
with V1.1 I have the problem that when I record a video (Back camera) the sound-record stops completely when it is very silent. So the video will have no sound at all in the when there are only silent noises you just can hear louder sounds (they start and stop suddenly). (This sounds like an digital phonecall without "confort noise", if you know what I mean)
I also can upload the video to youtube.
Has anybody else this behavior?

Thank you for the explenation. Yes, this is exactly like it sounds, a noise cancellation.
In my option this is not good when taking a video, it makes it terrible to look a video and the sound stars and stops suddenly all the time. Also you can not hear silent details. Is it possible to deactivate it? With Stock there is no noise cancellation.
Yes Certainly.. I will Upload and Update OP!
Hi everybody I want to share this mod I made following the next thread:How to increase camera stats
All I made, after some testings, increase almost all values regarding to camera quality(encoder decoder audio video and image), and set it up as high as Note 3. The results are good, as I saw.
10/08/14 v1:
I doubled the audio quality from 128kbs to 256 kbps for all resolutions. High resolution is up to 288kbps
Increased video bitrate
Increased image bitrate
I able support to wmv and wma
I set estero channel to recording for all resolutions
Increased back and front camera values
And many more goodies I don't remember
11/08/14 v1.3:
Increased a little bit more bitrate values according to video
increased a little bit image quality. I think it's the max possible, but I keep trying to increasing it, to see any difference.
14/08/14 v1.5:
Increased audio quality to 320kbps
Re-adjusted values
added different FPS mod versions
--This is version #1 because I didn't increase all the low values. I installed it in my own phone, and everything is working superb.
Next release I will try to set it higher, as S5 and see what happens, if it's working or not. But by now we have achieve something good.--
Here are some previews: here you can see a little differences regarding to standard values vs. increased ones. Using HDR - strong. Stock Note 2 camera! I realize that after made the modifications the pic is more weighty. I hope you can see the difference in the previews, because I have to low the quality to upload it faster, in tinypic. Sorry.

I didn't test the flashable zip, I only moved the file to "/system/etc" using root explorer and setting permissions, but you tell me.
The idea brings to my head, after testing S5 camera. When you open camera you can see an image super clear and in a higher quality, but when you take a pic, the quality was lower.

Will it work on 4.1.2 roms?
I will try. I use DN3 v5.2
Great work @Austtin
I was for so long looking for a way to get better camera quality, because I don't know why but after the camera firmware update within the 4.3 the camera quality seemed lower than 4.1.2.
It was more of a disaster to take pictures and I can't carry my cameras everywhere.
So thanks a lot.
Wish something like this could be done on AOSP too, the picture quality isn't as good as touchwiz

yeah, I read that it could be placebo. But increasing the bitrate, the image is more weighty. taken the same pic, at the same place and same thing it increase from 2.xx mb to 5.xx mb. So it should increase the quality. The increasing of audio is something real, you can notice the bitrate when you play some sound recorded using camera. And in 480p I increase the (don't remember exactly I should check it) the heigh or width too. In a few days gonna see if I can add support for 4k pics, or if it gives me some forceclose or issue. And also I want to increase the camera values as high as S5, and then test and try again the s5 camera, and how it looks. I think some modification of the camera app, should be done. So this is the beginning.

Guys!! this is really amazing, take a look at this photo I just take: it's about 5pm here in my country, and using the day light (sun light, not the inside of my home) the pic looks really really great. Now we can compare to the photo taken before. In the previews 1 of the pics was taken during day(with sun light-I'm not talking about the camera effect if not the light of the day or sun jaja), and the other one was taken during night inside of my home using artificial light, the ones inside of your home (sorry I'm still not good enought with my english), so now I can confirm that this's really working!! the bad thing (or contra) is that now the pic is kind heavy weight (about 5 mb) but the quality is higher as you can see. I rather higher quality and weighty pic than poor quality.
that's why 1 of the pics looks kinda yellow and the other one looks whiter.. in OP

Knight at first sight of your file, I can see some differences between your values and even sammy ones. For example, in lower res you have 3gp as video file format, and in sammy we have mp4. And many more differences, but I can adjust it for you and AOSP users. Let me check and I increase all values. The bad thing is that I'm not on AOSP rom, so I can't test by myself
I don't know what could happen if I change the file format, but at first I can play with values, leaving the rest as you have, and then you can test.
I'll test out and report.
It's 2 am in the morning here, so I guess it would be better if I go to sleep, hahaha
But don't worry, try making both version and I'll test it out thoroughly. I can deal with the errors and all. In always keep a backup of my needed stuff on a daily basis, so nothing can stop me from being a mad flashaholic

It's just ready, download it. It's not heavy weight file. it's 211kb zip file!
edit: I increase it as note 3 values, in sammy and, now with your help, aosp. Notice that the pic is more weight than before. In the next days I'm gonna try to increase values as S5, and even see if I can config the correct values to use s5 camera. It's all a matter of give it a try and test.
I try stock note2 and s5 camera, the result: I can assure you, note 2 stock camera is taking better quality photos, after my configs, than s5 on my phone. So I think to use s5 camera, and take photos with a high quality, it needs some configs to do. I'm really enjoying note 2 camera, with this tweaks. The photos are more clear, and are more detailed, than before. I surprised by myself. I realize about it, when I make zoom in photos in gallery app.

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.

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.

Hey Guys!
After trying many Google Camera ports and playing with the settings I found 1 which is pretty stable, so far everything seems to work (if not please respond and I'll update the OP).
How to install and apply my settings :
Download the app from here (Not my port, credits to the original Dev) :
Better version, quality improves but slower with starting the camera. Faster processing!
Old version, slow at processing. But starts much faster (2sec difference)
Download my config.xml (New config from 10 March) :
config for the new version (11March)
Config for the old version (10March)
After downloading both files do this :
1. Install the GCam port (like a normal apk, no root or anything is needed)
2. Copy the config.xml to /Internal Storage/GCam/Configs (if this folders don't exist, you should create them yourself)
3. Open GCam and allow the permissions
4. Double tap somewhere in the down (next to the shutter button
5. Now a menu should popup asking you for a config
6. Press restore
7. Enjoy your GCam!
Share your pictures in this thread
When I'll have time I'll add pictures (comparing stock with GCam)

If you can PM me some pictures (Stock vs. GCam), I'd wanna include some in the OP to show people that the quality really improves.
In my eyes :
GCam gives richer colors and less noise (especially in low light situations)
Thanks already!
Is night sight working? I'd love to see some pictures that please! See how much it improves the quality.

Here's a example of how Night sight works with GCam vs Stock Moto camera.

Both were without flash
Pretty impressive!
Is there any way I can control the shutter speed in gcam? I shoot a lot of sports and I would love if I get sharp photos with moving objects.

You can try it with mine for the G7 Plus, I can't create one for the G7 because I do not have this particular phone. The only downside could be that taking a picture is a bit slower due to the Snapdragon 632 (G7P got the 636). But in general it should be working.
Let me know if it works, if so I'll add this to the OP ^^
Thanks!
Some example photos
I have tested this mod on my new 7+ and have to say the results are very good. I tested just the Night Sight and a few photospheres as the stock moto cam is probably best for everyday use in everything else - fast and easy to handle, great picture quality. However in some situations there is not such a big improvement at night with the mod - it really depends on the ambient lights and their uniformness in the scene.
Lets see:
Round one https://photos.app.goo.gl/qnfYeXaD4fgGagNTA, https://photos.app.goo.gl/wxNK9MAqQ1ShPSXL8 (taken with phone on solid support )
Round two https://photos.app.goo.gl/2pxSHSteaE64sHoNA, https://photos.app.goo.gl/Ygc4ZsDDcNNCZEeXA (taken with phone on solid support )
Round three https://photos.app.goo.gl/ATs2x7UnAyrsJot99 (just handheld; no stock image in this case)
Round four https://photos.app.goo.gl/x9yCfcdoKbWo78Sc8, https://photos.app.goo.gl/9pzQGJa4DXgLs3hp8 (handheld)
Round five https://photos.app.goo.gl/Kif1YWhRt6bCACG99, https://photos.app.goo.gl/HL4LKe9c9yQddZk3A (taken with phone on solid support)
(first is always stock automatic, second is gcam with settings from the xml file)
I have also noticed that the camera name in google photos viewer is different for both camera apps which is very good because it allows to distinguish
And yes, the photospheres struggle with straight lines (which is to be expected, as the distortions in handheld shooting angles are substantial). Otherwise they are of better or worse quality, depends on how one looks at them - a few examples:
https://photos.app.goo.gl/PEDWhbpbWpio33G98, https://photos.app.goo.gl/ACmzBHdkgkTHXAD48, https://photos.app.goo.gl/EFhJq4zvSuCqcHji8
Regarding the photospheres I wouldn't mind if they were of higher quality even if the shooting and processing takes more time (maybe some setting?) and the file will be larger. The processing happens in the backgroud anyway.
I really appreciathe the work that was done here! :good::good:

Processing takes long because our processor will do the job, and we got a SD 6xx SoC so it will take a bit longer then a 8xx SoC. But like you told, it will work in the background
I tweaked the settings to get the maximum quality without having to wait like 10 seconds when taking the pictures. I can make it process faster, but this will be a lose of the quality, it is personal preference
If you want me to make a config like that I'd be more then happy to do so ^^

So, if you managed to extract maximum that is possible (at whatever computational cost) than I'm happy with it Personally I don't mind waiting those 10 seconds, it's not everyday that one shoots photospheres and even so you don't usually need 20 of them in one minute.
Maybe if the mod creator added some setting so the user can decide by himself if they prefer speed or quality and they dont need to load up a configf file each time

First of all, I am not the creator of this port. I clearly stated this in the OP, I just made these configs and shared the download links. If you load the config once your set up and don't have to load it anymore, unless you play with the settings and want to revert it like before.
Short :
Install apk, set config and you're all set. Next time you'll open the camera config is already loaded.
Works very good! Thank you!
Hello you all!
I always look for the best posible resources to squeeze more from my phone. In this case I was looking for ways to improve even more the great camera the Poco has and so I searched the internet for super resolution applications (cameras) possible of taking multiple photos at once and then averaging them to create a higher resolution image the sensor is capable of taking, with less noise and more detail.
So I came across this old page where some scientific-like group called Almarvi has an imaging department dedicated to photography processing and there it was an super resolution demo app ( a camera app) capable of testing the algorithms of super resolution directly on Android. For those who knows about this technic, normally it is done with Photoshop o gimp, needing a computer to do so.
So I'm happy to share with you this discovery I made, I couldn't find any blog posts about it or even Reddit nor here in xda.
The app is really basic, pretty unstable, and sometimes it closes, but I must say: In various situations it beated the Google Camera port in term of details and lesser noise.
What it does is take multiple photos (you can choose how much, but normally I suggest you use less than 20), then you can preview a small crop to see the final result and adjust sharpness (as well as changing mode to median or mean, and using averaged colours or not). After the processing, you end up with a 48mp averaged photo (if choosen x2 factor, 96mp x3, etc!!)
I leave the link where you can download it for free
http://zoi.utia.cas.cz/mobilesr
I think is pretty good for taking still landscape photography or non moving subjects. Gcam is still gcam, but this app if used well can give a sharper and best looking image.
All this been said, I found more than 96mp (x3) is not worthy because of the file size and image doesn't improve more than 48mp.
Sorry for the long post, but I think this is a very rare app, people should know it exists besides the well known gcam.
Try it and tell me, and remember, steady hands!U
Update: You can change exposure value with the volume rockers !
To clarify, it creates a real 48mp image (or more), I tested zooming in and you can zoom deeper comparing to gcam, and you can check the information of the photo to see the dimensions. When zooming in you can see less compression and better details than gcam in most situations, difference is very clear when you see it in a computer screen.
It works. How to make it bigger than 48mp?

Touch the 3 dots in the bottom right corner to open the menu, and touch in "SR factor" to change it, 2.0 is 48mp, 3.0 would make an 109mp image, you won't notice much of a difference though but is fun having such large image (use 10 or less photos or it will close probably)
It mention it uses yuv format acquired images, thought poco wasn't able tu produce this kind of images because of lack of full level 3 camera api

Yes, it's pretty limited since you can't zoom or change the exposure for example, but I think it is useful for some special situations, like a landscape

It looks like it won't be updated because the app is basically just a demo they used to test the super resolution algorithm they created, is a shame because it's the best implementation I could find on a mobile phone, and any phone with camera 2api enabled could improve a lot their photo quality with this app, specially those who don't have a gcam port. I tested the app a lot , for several months, and I've found that In terms of quality it beats the gcam most of the times, but it doesn't mean it produces a better photo, gcam is well know for taking great looking photos in just one click, but if you zoom in and compare the two photos side by side you will see this app bringing a lot more detail and less compression artifacts, noise is in several cases equal or less than gcam aswell.
In the end, I want it to share because it's another good option, and maybe if someone wants to print their photos taken with their phones then this app will help a lot thanks to the super resolution

Actually the gcam port is not 100% functional, for example it doesn't have a working "photo booth" or "top shot" specifically because the pocophone camera drivers won't support yuv format which is needed for said features

Are you sure? I know there are features missing but that doesn't mean necessarily that it can't take yuv photos, at least in this app I can, there is an option to save yuv files and they appear in my files when I take the photo, I think this app only works using yuv pictures to make the super resolution, if Poco doesn't support them then this app should throw some error (like the one you get if you try this application on devices without camera 2 api enabled.) Please check that information

EDIT: I accidentally found how to change exposure values in this app but I think it isn't working, only works for the preview but no in the final image, by using the volume rockers.
EDIT 2: I tried again this time activating the option use lowest iso possible and then you can adjust exposure using volume rockers!, it changes the shutter speed, so now it only lacks zoom and a better stability, but pretty good alternative and best of all free!

Guys, the app is good. I tested it thoroughly and tested also the upscaling of Photoshop, which is far worse than SuRmob's.
My example of SuRmob capture: link.
The upscaled Gcam picture using Photoshop's best algoritms: link.
And because my rebel neurons wanted to test also the result from RAW picture upscaled using Photoshop, I also made a collage with two crops (100% scale) with SuRmob result vs RAW jpg upscaled with PS. See it attached in the link below.
Those who got bad results I advice them to let default settings. I only modified ISO (to low), 10 captures instead of 5 and never use sharpness over 3.

I searched everywhere, but in Android this is the best I could find. The only one paid app that does this is cortex camera, but I tried it and it hangs when trying to take well lit scenarios, it's really buggy and abandoned in early stages by the dev, but in iOS there are 3 cameras, the same cortex (much better than Android and updated one), Hydra and other one I can't remember.

Those who got bad results I advice them to let default settings. I only modified ISO (to low), 10 captures instead of 5 and never use sharpness over 3.

Exactly, those are the settings I recommend too. After months of testing it I can say you need to experiment with it to get the best results, but the best about this camera I think is the far more natural looking photos it produces, and very noticeable quality improvement when looking on bigger screens or printed.
I also tested against raw and gcam and, while gcam is still the preferred choice in a lot of cases, when needing take a more detailed photo or cropping I use this app, so, the best I think is to leave it installed and use it when you like it.
This was my secret app so show some love , I think is a really great discovery, not only for this device, but for everyone with camera2 API, I think if xda developers found this app they would write a post about it because it is really good
Isn't this the same as almalence's "Super" mode in thrir "a better camera" app? Never tried that app on the Poco, but I think that app checks the devicename in the build.prop regarding the super mode. This feature was only available for the Nexus 5 and a few other devices, so probably "Super" mode won't show up on the Poco. Anyway, thanks for the demo app link!
