Hi all,
Well ... I waste some hours trying to make a color profile of our phone screen and ... I did it ! I can say it wasn't easy ...
I was bored to make stuff in photoshop and have a different result on the phone screen, then go back to PS, then push again, PS again ....
Attached files:
-Graphic which shows that the screen color space is smaller than sRGB & Adobe98. We also have a low contrast ratio of 350.
-The color profile that you have to put in C:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\color
-Photoshop screenshot to enable the profile
--> When you make images modd in PS for your phone (don't forget to disable it when you work with normal pictures !), choose : menu>Display>Work format (I don't have the UI in english so I don't know the real name --> look at the screenshot), then choose the profile and tick "Keep RGB numbers".
You're now able to modd images that will appear like on the phone (not perfect but acceptable). If you load a SGS3 screenshot you will see the difference too (CTRL Y to toggle apply profile / no profile).
However, I'm using a high-end monitor which is perfectly calibrated so I can really see the difference (this is named softproofing (simulating the destination display device). Depending on how your monitor is far from the right calibration, the profile may be useless ... Try it ! or search for someone who have a colorimeter and calibrate your screen, the improvment is very great !
I've made this profile with Spyder3 Elite in a very strange way
Enjoy !

[Edit 1] Screenshot added as example : "Without profile" jpg is the one that is made by the phone (raw). "With Profile" jpg is the same after applying my color profile, and this one is very near what I can see when I look the phone. The difference is not small !
/
[Edit 2]
1) How to convert your screenshots:
In photoshop, choose Menu Edition/Assign a profile, and then choose the phone's profile. Then choose Menu/Edition/Convert to profile and choose the sRGB profile. Then save your image.
Now, posting your screenshots this way, they will appear like there are on the phone. (Depending on how well calibrated is the monitor's member).
2) If you have a photo wallpaper on your computer and want it to appear the same on the phone : choose Menu Edition/Assign a profile, and then choose the phone's profile
- For who can have a profile for its momitor, it's important too to use the Color Management plugin in Firefox ( the only one browser able to manage color profiles )

!!!!!!! [EDIT 3] !!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There was a problem with some colors with previous color profiles.
When applying profile in photoshop with this V3 color profile :
- Select profile
- Untick Keep RGB numbers
- Select Relative color
- Tick Black point compensation
Now you will see in PS the colors like they will appear on your SG3 !

Color Management is not an easy thing to understand at all. It can be a sbject of PhD ! And my bad english does not help to explain ...
The profile is usefull for who makes themes (it's not to implement into the phone):
-When you work on android's images in photoshop, what you see is not what you see when it is on the phone.
-With the profile you can :
--> See in photoshop what you will see when the image will be on your phone. It helps a lot ! Before making the pofile I was making changes, pushing them to the phone and then going back to photoshop (it was looking good in photoshop but not on the phone)
--> When you take a screenshot on the phone, the image is raw without any color profile, ugly ! Applying my profile you can visualize the screenshots on your computer like it appears looking at the phone. It's good to apply the profile to the screenshots before posting. At the present time the screenshots available on the forum does not correspond to reality. I will add a small tutorial to do that.
you get it ?
ok now i understood it. Im learning to make themes actually. So this wil help me

I hope so ! See if someone or some store can lend/rent you a colorimeter to calibrate your monitor. I can warranty that this will change your editing experience ! You will be surprised visualizing your photos ...
Unfortunately, monitors even high-end, are sold without being calibrated .... The Delta can be very huge !
all i see in the 2 screenshots is that one is brighter than the other
i dont get it
in 1 post u say we can view the images before pushin it in the phone
n the other post u say it improves ur viewing experience like improves the quality??
i m viewing these photos on a netbook i dont if that makes a difference
so if u could please explain me again

Color management is a headache subject ...
The purpose is to get the same visual result on the phone and on the computer. The fact is that you don't have my phone so you can't see that the second picture looks like the phone and not the first one.
Actually, your case is not surprising : in general (90% ?) netbook's screens are very bad (poor color range and very sensible depending on what angle you are looking it) and of course non calibrated. So it's not a surprise you're not viewing a lot of diference.
Even like that, if you can calibrate your netbook screen there will be a significant improvment to view photos and other stuff.
Thanks!
I've been trying to solve different looking colors problems for a while now.
How did you create the profile?

I'm pleased to know someone is using this profile and finding it usefull !
It was'nt easy to make it :
- 1st, I ran Basiccolor display calibration soft with my Spyder 3 colorimeter, on my computer screen, and make screenshot of each pattern color.
- then I put the images on my sdcard's phone
- then search for an image viewer able to switch picture by clicking a button. I found one where you can configure the button you want to use.
- then, ran calibration soft on computer, holding colorimeter on the screen phone and clickin the button just in time (at each color measure).
I will not do that again !
V3 profile available
UP !

SimplePiano V4.3
SimplePiano with the SP_mickesjo WVGA Skin
As the name suggests it's a simple piano application. I took over "CrisRowlands SimplePiano" after Cris decided to give up developing it (Original thread). The main reason I took over is because I wanted to implement multitouch. I own HTC HD2 so my emphasize was on the WVGA format, but the application should also support VGA resolution. It should be pretty easy to create skins for other resolutions as well...
Features:
WVGA, VGA, QVGA, HVGA versions.
It has three octaves.
Record and Playback.
Dualtouch via the PinchToZoom events (not ideal but the best I could find...)
Customizable skins.
Customizable sounds (currently include Piano, Acoustic Guitar & Violin).
Currently in develop:
Continuous sliding of the keyboard view.
Change the skn files to support arbitrary number of keys.
CHANGELOG:
21.06.10(4.3)
Added two single finger chord modes (Major and Minor) - Requires special skin. I don't like this solution so I didn't follow it. If anyone is interested in this please let me know...
Added minimum note sustain length control (in milliseconds). If minimum sustain is not specified the full sample is played.
Added support for looping over the sample (by looping over the sample) Two samples can be specified, one is played once in the beginning, and the second is played over and over until the key is released. If the second sample is not specified the first one is used for the loop. This feature requires appropriate sound samples to be available.
Sounds are controlled via "Sound.lst" file. Different behavior of the notes (those mentioned above) can be controlled via this file.
Added OK/Cancel button to the settings dialog.
Vibration LED index can be now set via the "Device" tab in the settings dialog.
Polyphony can control to the "Device" tab in the settings dialog.
Fixed a problem where SimplePiano closed if an incompatible skin was chosen.
Fixed issue where bitmaps were not always clipped to bounds.
Fixed crash when sound file did not exist.
Changed applications icon (thanks mickesjo)
11.06.10(4.2) Added some exception handling during initialization and a vga skin for the Default skin. Fixed the link to point here.
10.06.10(4.0) Initial release including the new features (dualtouch, recording etc. as desribed in this post).
Screenshots:
Skins: Default WVGA skin, MewSkin WVGA skin, MewSkin VGA skin, SP_mickesjo WVGA skin, Saplorer UI WVGA skin

Some documentation
Some useful information about the *.skn files and the Sound.lst file.
The *.skn files
These files define the location of the different items on the screen. For each screen resolution the skin supports there should be one skn file. When a skin is chosen, SimplePiano search the skin directory for a compatible skn file and loads the skin according to its content.
here's an example for a skn file
Code:
Display=0,0,480,800
This line declare the target resolution of the skin. It is given in the following format: 0,0,Width,Height
Code:
Name=mewskin
The name of the skin, currently not used for anything.
Code:
Octave1=360,10,120,120
Octave1Image=OneNormal.png,OnePressed.png
Each key should include those two lines. The first line describe the location and size of the image, using the following format:
KeyName=Left,Top,Width,HeightThe second line points to the images to be used with this key. The following format is used:
KeyNameImage=NormalStateImage, PressedStateImageWhere KeyName is one of the following:
Octave1, Octave2, Octave3
Quit, Settings,
Record, Replay,
NormalKey1, ..., NormalKey8
SharpKey1, ..., SharpKey6All these keys must be specified.
NormalKey# stands for the normal note keys (C,D,E,F,G,A,B & C)
SharpKey# stands for the semitone keys (C#, Eb, F#, Ab, Bb & C#)
In addition the toolbar background has to be specified as well:
Code:
Toolbar=360,0,120,800
ToolbarImage=Background.png
unlike a regular key here only one image is supplied.
In addition the optional chord modifier keys can be specified (using the same logic):
Code:
ChordMajor=-30,0,60,60
ChordMajorImage=MajorNormal.bmp,MajorPressed.bmp
ChordMinor=-30,60,60,60
ChordMinorImage=MinorNormal.bmp,MinorPressed.bmp
The Sounds.lst file
This file defines the sounds to be used with the selected instrument. First of all it binds a note to a wav file. In addition different properties can be set for each note, as I'll explain below:
Code:
[1]
The file is divided into octave, currently there are 4 octaves (since SimplePiano also includes C4 &C#4). Each octave is titled with its number.
Code:
C=Data\C1.wav, Loop=0
Then, the sound files for this octave are given. The following format is used:
Note=FileName, Option1=value1, Option2=value2,...Note is one of the 12 notes in an octave. The following notation is used: C,Cs,D,Eb,E,F,Fs,G,Ab,A,Bb,B.
Then a relative path to the sound file is specified. Followed by a list of parameters and values pairs separated by comas. These parameters are optional. The following parameters can be declared:
Loop=#This specify how many times to loop over the sample (0 - plays the note once, -1 loop infinitely). If a non-zero value is given for a note, the note will be played as long as the key is pressed, once the key is released the playing will cease immediately. By default (if not specified) Loop=0.
MinimumLength=#This specify the minimum length (in milliseconds) a note is to be played. If this value is -1 the sample will be fully played. any other (non-negative number), the note will be played at leas this amount of time. For example, if a value of 500 is specified, every touch on the keyboard will generate a 500ms sound. If the key is held longer than 500ms the sound will stop when the key is released (or the sample reaches its end). The default behavior depends on the "Loop" setting: If Loop=0 MinimumLength=-1. Otherwise MinimumLength=0.
Good job man
Good luck with this
I don't suppose you could maybe send me a copy of the source code etc?
Maybe upload it & give me a link.
The main reason I wasn't able to implement these features is because I don't know how. It would be quite interesting to learn about how you did it
good job on significantly improving chris' already nice work
And dang you've beaten me to first reply

Thanks guys...
Cris... no problems, just let me tidy the project a little...
I love your simple piono 4.1. Now 4.2 should be better than 4.1. Thanks for the updated version...
OP, thanks for the APP. I look forward to future updates once more of the bugs have been knocked out!
Update: added a download link to the mewskin, this is nicer looking especially for the VGA resolutions (but also on the WVGA). Kudos to the author (xxmewstarxx)...
Just install the mewskin.cab after installing SimplePiano (no need to reinstall).
Z.
for now, I vote for default to 0 interval between multitouch keypresses, instead of 300ms
Not much of a big deal as you can change it yourself, yet if you already restarted to register multitouch, and you change that option later, you need to restart again
I am also thinking about spanning through more than 3 octaves, and a different method of changing the octave that lets you do that faster and more easily, will report back when I have a better idea
Nice!
Unfortunately the space on the screen ins't that much but if there was a way to "somehow" squeeze in and create spaces for Chord Symbols/Buttons and when these are being pressed, a chord is being played (a flat chords, an arpeggio). Said chord-sounds could be default-sounds distributed with the application or pre-recorded by the user. Something similar to those Casio-chords (or whatever they are called) which do the fingering for you. Another option could be that it played just the root of the chord so one could create some variety and a little base-line while playing the melody on the normal keyboard.
The problem, I guess, is surely the space on the screen and the limit of two touches simultaneously.
Just some thoughts....

Well, as for the 3 octave limitation, that could be easily broken, just that I don't have the sounds... If someone's willing to generate them I'll include them in the application.
About changing octaves I thought of two possibilities, one would be to just add two buttons at the end of the keyboard that moves one octave up or down. Another possibility is to create a slider above (or below) the keyboard on which you can slide left or right to change octaves. Sliding can also be continuous so that the first note is necessarily C. Such slider can also have some buttons to toggle chords buttons as tilleke suggeted...

I was thinking the exact same things regarding octave switching, more like automatic recognition, as in when you press a key near the border, the keyboard gets slided past the border of a X length to accomodate for the "direction" you're taking
And tilleke suggestion is very interesting.
Here's my take: just like you play two sounds together when you do multitouch, you don't need to really record a chord, you only need to play 3 sounds together.
Example, put a swith on top, with three positions:
1) Normal
2) Major chord
3) Minor chord
Then you press, say, C
Cases:
"normal" : the note C is played
"major" : the notes C E and G are played
"minor" : the notes C D# and G are played
THe switch would be a slider onr, because a toggle one (1-2-3-1-2 and so on) would take too long if you need 1 and you're currently on 2.
Glad to see somebody picking up on this where Chris left off.....
If you want more octaves I'd be happy to provide them.
Just out of interest, are the samples in this version the same ones from Chris' original version?

Totally awesome. Poor WM support. it seems like everyone writes off Windows platform as thou its limited, but if you had the support you show with this simple piano, the experience level and communication would be thought on a positive (note) about windows platform... GOOD JOB!!
Thanks zevele for the work!
xda member TWolf has a FlashPiano that he stopped developing. The program itself has a great sample of 4 instruments in mp3 form, but I don't know enough about music to rename them. Maybe somebody here can take a look and rename the files. Here's the link and source code from TWolf:

Seeing these applications on the iphone just depresses me... they run so much better than on the windows mobile...
Specifically to your question... If you mean playing several instruments in parallel, it shouldn't be to complicated to implement...
Okay, here's my idea for a solution for the chords feature, I've added two buttons below the keyboard one toggles a major chord and the other a minor. As all other buttons these can be moved and changed through the skin files. Please try it and let me know what you think...

Can this be hosted somewhere else? Rapidshare gives some of us problems and the the download limitation sucks. I can't download the v43beta after just downloading the v42 version. My suggestion is drop.io or dropbox... You can even use the free Skydrive for this.
Thanks for the good work...
Updates:
I can't stop touching my phone!
BIG UPDATE Liquid Version 3 22.09.2012:
So much new stuff: New Objects, New Features, New artworks, New Settings, many Fixes and Changes, improved stability.
New Objects:
-The amazing Color Fluid Surface(including; Liquid Colors, Anti-Color, Particles, a swimming Object, Connections to other Objects, own new sub-section in Settings)
-Full Screen Image(just shifting a little with homescreen)
-New Liquid Beta-Particles (linked to the Fluid Surface to make, 2 fluid physic engines connected driving each other!)
-The amazing Color Fluid Surface:
Get a realy liquid screen.
Make fine colorfull swhirls with each finger or mix the whole fluid witch all touch points.
Continuously auto-selecting the "next most-amazing color" for each touch point.
See the colors mixing transparent on any background.
Finger 4 bill dropp Anti-Color, the mathematical opposite of Color. Anti-Color and Color will be colorfull neutralized against each other. Naturally Anti-Color is invisible but I found a way to show it. It´s enabled on default and will change to it´s naturally invisibility if switching to "Inverse Fluid Colors".
The Engine has it´s "own" swimming Particles and a swimming customizable Object.
Some Objects are connected to the fluid and will swimm in fluid and/or add forces to it.
The Fluid Particles are very fine and have some options, you can select an independent build-in texture to keep them look Particle-like while using any Picture on other Objects.
Fluid Surface code is great but calculated on cpu and needs power at higher fluid resolution. This needs some optimizations, I will try to move some expensive calculations to faster scripts or buffer-array-operations to make it run faster at higher resolutions. Rendering fluid is already fast.
-Static Background Picture. It´s just shifting a little with homescreen. If you select a not-transparent Picture, background will hide the 3D-Android and the 3D-Background Particles, so don't forget to disable hidden Objects to safe power.
-New Liquid Beta-Particles.
Interesting dynamic physics. Connected to Fluid Surface, if active together, engines will move each other, result will move very dynamic or chaotic.
Beta because unoptimized, slow, cpu draining, laggy touch and unstable physics could force close somtimes because moving out of bounds. But It can blast the Fluid
-New Image Artworks all supporting Transparency:
If you want to use old removed Images, you can extract the Images from old apk file.
-New Settings. Added icons to most options. Select Picture direct from Image-Buttons.
As simple and friendly as possible.
Linked gravity-sensor-delay to framerate slider to make it fast or power-safing together.
Added info and contact button linked to this thread(nothing else online yet).
Wallpaper runs fine without sdcard now. Just Cropping Image is not possible without sdcard reasonable.
- Build on Android 4.1.-, minimum required Android 2.2.
Runs Best on 4.1 with "additional features" and best stability. Settings Icons will not be visible on older Androids than 2.3.3 if I am right.
Runs on every phone and virtual device I tested. Also it runs on my TegravII Tablet on Android x86 4.0 R2 but only the 3D-Android is shown and changing Picture works but everything else not. So I will try to get it running complete on not fully compatible Android x86 later.
-Bugs: Nothing is realy broken for me. For left bugs seems just trying again makes it fine.
Loading or Cropping Pictures could still fail on bigger images or incompatible formats. I will rework the image handling a little softer to make this stable. Unfortunately Wallpaper can force close on first start in some cases.
This was next step to get everything ready for more interesting stuff.
Please send some feedback after testing.
______________________________________________________
______________________________________________________
Update II : 20.07.2012
I like it now. XDA-Texture is attached right way. I added perlinNoise like wavy movement to get it a little more interesting and flaglike.
No more forceClose in settings menu but still no effect on now selectable options. Next step= Lsd-colors(see LsdCam effect1) and settings. Will see to get the waves more harmonic and with some settings and more(maybe custom) images and it should be fine for first effect.
Have to come more and better.
Update 4 (26.07.12) : LSD-Wallpaper V4 XDA-Version V3! Resize and own Pictures.
Wallpaper should work on any display resolution.
-Options are working. -
-3 build in images or load own picture. Picture will be resized on load. Transparent png working.
-You can toggle waves on or off now..
Wallpaper is funny with own pictures of peoples and faces.
Issues:
If you want to use options to load own foto.png or own foto.jpg there must be the files foto.png or foto.jpg direct on sdcard, else it will forceClose. Will add a album selection with cropping there.
If you toggle waves on or off it will load xda image, so you have to select the picture you want again after toggling waves.
LsdWallpaper is drawing delayed @ 30fps while not consuming much power. Also it should release resources on hide so it should only consume power if you (could)see it. I can confirm the mesh dont moves if phone is locked. Also fps, texture- and mesh-resolution will be adjustable in settings.
This runs on other roms and display resolutions on emu, should run on most Android Phones now. should we give it to all Android phone section? I will not give them 3D if it is finished

You are right, I will try, I will have it also. But this will take some time.
Update: XDA-Version V1! There was not much time but here is the Result so far. Will add more effects and more options (current option is without effect). (Multi)-Touch to see XDA-logo. Note:Image is not attached the way it should and will be but this is also just a nice and free multitouch XDA-Life-Wallpaper. Works nice with the attached analog clock from the Android IDE.
It´s Live-Wallpaper-Whish-Week,
So please post any whish how your favorit dream live wallpaper should be and I will do my best to release it here (if I like the idea).
While porting my LSD-Cam to latest Android-Apis for supporting ICS-Roms I started creating life Wallpaper.
This I am currently locking into Android drawings and will attatch Textures first to my physics and implement many Effects for easy creating intresting and custom Live Wallpapers also for XDA community. This will keep some days, Eclipse-Android is not so diffrent to my mother language processing and everything runs like suspected, it is "just" porting to diffrent drawings and handlings.
so you may post whishes for wallpapers.
Also I will be able to create widgets, lockscreens or any professional android content.
Also I will look int 3D to bring up stereoscpopic content(I am also 3D-Master )
Works very well, looking forward to see more options

Update: XDA-Version V1!
There was not much time but here is the Result so far. Will add more effects and more options (current option is without effect). (Multi)-Touch to see XDA-logo. Note:Image is not attached the way it should and will be but this is also just a nice and free multitouch XDA-Life-Wallpaper. Works nice with the attached analog clock from the Android IDE.
It´s Live-Wallpaper-Whish-Week,
So please post any whish how your favorit dream live wallpaper should be and I will do my best to release it here (if I like the idea).
Stereoskopic live wallpaper.

Update III : LSD-Wallpaper V3 XDA-Version V2! Great Multitouch Action in XDA Design!
Update III :
I like it now. XDA-Texture is attached right way. I added perlinNoise like wavy movement to get it more interesting and flaglike.
No more forceClose in settings menu but still no effect on now selectable options. Next step= Lsd-colors(see LsdCam effect1) and settings. Will see to get the waves more harmonic and with some settings and more(maybe custom) images and it should be fine for first effect.
Have to come more and better.
LsdWallpaper is drawing delayed to 30fps while not consuming much power. Also it should release resources on hide so it should only consume power if you (could)see it. I can confirm the mesh dont moves if phone is locked. Also fps, texture- and mesh-resolution will be adjustable in settings.
This runs on other roms and display resolutions on emu, should run on most Android Phones now. should we give it to all Android phone section? I will not give them 3D if it is finished

You are right, I will try, I will have it also. But this will take some time.
Download:
Very great: I downloaded AIDE from PlayStore, copied eclipse wallpaper project to sd card and could build it without changing anything.
So I can code and compile on phone in a great way. Thanks AIDE!
Right now I am implementing sterescopic 3d for the evo3d to the live wallpaper.
Update 4 : LSD-Wallpaper V4 XDA-Version V3! Resize and own Pictures.
Wallpaper should work on any display resolution.
-Options are working. -
-3 build in images or load own picture. Picture will be resized on load. Transparent png working.
-You can toggle waves on or off now..
Wallpaper is funny with own pictures of peoples and faces.
Issues:
If you want to use options to load own foto.png or own foto.jpg there must be the files foto.png or foto.jpg direct on sdcard, else it will forceClose. Will add a album selection with cropping there.
If you toggle waves on or off it will load xda image, so you have to select the picture you want again after toggling waves.
As you might have seen that HTC Mozart has tendency to take underexposed pics, especially on a sunny day. After I installed WP7.8 ROM, I got settings like ISO, exposure value etc on my Mozart. Can someone please suggest me best values of each of the settings so that my Mozart can take good pics on a bright sunny day which isn't underexposed? Thanks in advance :cyclops:
Hi++
Exactly ,I don't Believe in this things (honey,to tell the truth it just about your taste of photographing ) But here is one of my pictures in a sunny day ++ (settings ) :fingers-crossed: !!
Good Luck !

Now I learn that my mistake had been setting exposure vaule to a positive value instead of negative one. I took a pic with new settings, applied auto-fix on phone. It came out like this-
Then, on Picasa, I did the following things-
1. Auto contrast
2. Boost by 1/4th strength
3. Cross process 66%
And result is-
I see one huge difference. Your pic has far much better colors. Did you do any post processing in Photoshop? If yes then please share tips for the same too. Thanks in advance :cyclops:
Hi again++1
about photoshop yes ! but when I can't access my computer & photoshop I'd rather use this app !

So after lots of exchanges with the developer, i finally have RAW image capture working in Yureka.
It is still in beta, and the steps to download is long (for now), but hey raw capture and editing is pure joy and we can get great results and details out of our powerful camera.

2) become a tester of freeDcam
3) download the APK
4) start app, swipe from left, in picture setting, select picture format as bayer-ideal-qcom and select CAPTURE button
5) set resolution and quality and capture
edit with your favorite program like darktable, rawtherapee etc
Great

what other explanation do you need?
also the dev at the g+ page is very helpful and does reply to all sort of queries.
Bluish tint and low quality
Sadly there is a bluish(sometimes greenish) tint and that is not light but too much. Any way to capture raw with normal colours? Also the quality is even lower than the jpegs captured with stock camera app.

can you post your settings?
also you should post the dng files on G+ page where the developer can take a look at it
I dont need the dngs.
The green is because of the missing colormatrix. But it can easy fix with awb tool in ps and rawtherapee or every other app wich can read dngs.
It would be usefull when the thread starter update it and make his knowledge for all users avail.
Its not good to point all problems to me.
I get bored when answering 20 times the same question and user get stupid answers or im just ignore them.
Its not my problem when people dont know how to process the taken raws. The quality can be worse when you dont know it.
Im thinking about to remove rawsupport in freedcam for all devices wich use the neutral matrix... Then its limited to g2/g3/m9 devices.

the preview is in dark conditons always a bit noise. for raw capture use iso 100 in all light conditions. it reduce the noise heavy. the exposure can later increased when its to dark.
also turning off wavlet-denoise can decrase the noise

We don't have a powerful camera like one+one and the raw output is expected to be noisy as no noise reduction algorithm is used.
Although FreeDcam has options for noise reduction and what not, i would rather do that in an external software. this is the reason why we are capturing in raw right?
With RAW you will get much more lighting information and thus edit should be much better.
Also try to use manual control available like adjusting ISO etc. Google should be your friend. Enjoy!
A'ight. Didn't want you to take it as a "complain" xD ..Thanks for the info though. @abhi can you tell me what is the expolock button for? to lock exposure ?

with that you can lock the camera ae routine. that means you can point into the sun lock the exposure and the cam does not change it until it gets released.
it can be used to trick the camera shutter time.
as sample when you want to have a longer exposure time at night. aim with the cam to a dark point or lay it to the ground and lock the exposure. then point to the scene you want to shoot.
the same trick can be done for a faster shutter speed. for that lock the expo into a light (sun or simliar)
No raw format found
In the given method only jpg and dng are available as picture format!
What to do? @abhifx

When you want to capture "RAW" use dng. You are not able to open pure android raws.

How to use config(xml)
Configs
Let's get started!
1. Go to settings and scroll to the very bottom where XML configs are mentioned.
2. Go to this item and save the config (naming it as you like, the main thing is to create a path)
3. Go to the path that was specified in the save (/ GCam /config7 ) and copy the configs there.
4. Go into the camera and click on an empty space near the white button and gallery on the right several times. A panel will appear in which all the configs that have been saved will be displayed, select them and click restore.
! The camera will restart and this will mean that the configs have taken effect!
Hope I could explain. Good luck
What is Lib Patcher ?
Libpatcher - is a custom setting where you can set all the settings to your liking
Radius Temporal: changes the graininess of the image by affecting noise, the higher the image is more blurry and less noise, the lower the more noisy, but more detail
Tone Curve: Adjust dark points, white points, shadows, highlights. It is recommended to enable and leave the default values.
Sharpness: allows you to control the sharpness of the image. Zoom in for low-light shots, and zoom out for selfies. THIS IS A PERSONAL PREFERENCE, ADJUST TO YOUR NEEDS
Luminance Noise Reduction: Controls the “graininess” in images caused by high ISO. Decrease it to get more detail at the expense of high noise, or increase it if the noise is unacceptable to you
Color Noise Reduction: Controls color spots. There is usually no need to adjust it as this will not improve the quality, but you can increase it slightly if you see colored spots in the dark. Too much chroma noise can cause a decrease in saturation. Also known as color noise
Contrast: allows you to control the contrast of the image. Increase it if you want darker shadows, and decrease it to make it brighter. THIS IS A PERSONAL PREFERENCE, REGULATE IT IN YOUR NEEDS
Saturation: allows you to control the saturation of the image. Increase it if you want more saturated colors in your photos. THIS IS A PERSONAL PREFERENCE, ADJUST TO YOUR NEEDS
Luminance noise reduction levels
Level 1 (Detail) changes the photo very slightly, slightly smoothing out small elements
Level 2 (Rough Surfaces) seriously alters the image by smoothing grain
Level 3 (Edges) doesn't change much. Smooths edges slightly
Level 4 (Smooth Surfaces) radically alters the image by making it posterized by smoothing out large areas of the same color. Avoid magnification over 1.0
Color noise reduction levels
Level 1 (Detail) fine textures, but the same applies to rough details
Level 2 (Rough surfaces) fine textures, but the same applies to rough details
Level 3 (Edges) Edges are mainly defined by the contrast between one object and another
Level 4 (Smooth Surfaces) Smooth surfaces are generally uniform areas of the image. Like wallpaper with few small details

Hi ! Thanks for the work.
With the 8.xxx version I have to install Google Photos if I want to watch the pics or videos I've just taken from this app. Is there a way to change that ? I don't want and don't need Google Photos.
