Hey Guys. This is a tutorial to bring out the best in your phone camera by installing GCAM. In this case we will be installing a made for exynos variant of gcam called ZGCAM. Same software optimization but built for exynos.
To get all features follow this step by step guide. (HDR+, PANORAMA, LENS BLUR,VIDEO ETC)
First download this apk from my media fire link. (The actual website will push ads to you which no one likes)
Link removed.
Download and Install this .APK file.
At first when you install it, only video and other minor features will work, but camera mode won't work.
To fix this we must use a custom config file to use ZGCAM for our specifications.
First Go to your default files app
When u install ZGCAM a new folder will popup in your internal storage (Phone Not SD) and it will be called GCam
If a "Configs" folder isn't present, create one (inside gcam directory).
After this download this file - M31CONFIG.xml
https://www.mediafire.com/file/u95oyhsvrceqjwe/M31CONFIG.xml/file
Move this file from Downloads to Gcam-Configs folder.
After this open ZGCAM (on the home screen it will be called camera with a red shutter logo)
Touch and hold a black are in the ui at the bottom for around 3 seconds (not any of the buttons). After that an option will popup, saying RESTORE CONFIGS, and after that because u moved the config file, u will get an option to restore this config.
After that u will have working GCAM for your samsung 31.

Ok half of the problem is I deleted the gallery from my Eris running vanilla tazz 26. I mistook it for something else when I was deleting it.
After searching I found this over on the desire forums:

Hey,
Here's the file to install Gallery 3D to the Desire.
You have 2 ways of installing:
1) Install Android USB Driver (search for it) run the following commands:
adb install <filename and path>
2) Copy to SD Card, open in a file manager (make sure "install from unknown sources" is checked in menu) (untested)
New version:
Gallery works great, launches camera, and plays videos!
Download

When I installed it everything seems to work fine except the camera button. It dosn't work because I also deleted the stock camera. I use FxCamera. I just like it better. When I'm in FxCamera and I push the gallery button it takes me to the 3dGallery I installed which is perfect thats what I want it to do.
My question is when I'm in 3dGallery and I push the camera button can I make it automatically open FxCamera? Right now when I push the cam button in 3dgallery it just force closes. Thank you so much in advance.
To make it open fxcamera, I don't know. However if you ever want your gallery and camera back, an easy way is to just pull them out of the roms .zip file.
Edit: I suppose you would have to decompile the gallery3d.apk and edit some xml to change the targeted app to open when that button is pushed

Hello to all, i was bored so i started to modding the samsung's camera app. I tried to change the audio quality (from 12.8kbps, 8khz, amr => 128kbs, 32khz, aac) but our phone/kernel doesnt support aac encoding (?)
I also tried to change the output 3gpp video to mp4 without luck.
I managed to remove the low battery limitation which was preventing you to take photos/videos when your battery was lower than 15 percent.
Features
Removed low battery limitation.
Power button acts as Shutter button. (Only for camera, not for camcorder)
Geotagging toggle option.
Download
v1: Megaupload
v2: Megaupload
How to install
A) Using CWM recovery
Put the zip in your sdcard.
Go in CWM recovery
Install zip from sdcard
Choose zip from sdcard
Find it and press the home button
When it finishes press reboot system now
B) Using Root Explorer
Extract the Camera.apk from the zip (system/app/)
Put it in your sdcard
Navigate to it with root explorer, and copy it to /system/app/
Reboot your phone
Note: This works on deodexed roms. If your rom is odexed remove /system/app/Camera.odex file with root explorer.
Changelog
v1: Removed low battery limitation (initial release)
v2: Power button acts as Shutter button. (bug with home button, use back button to exit camera app)
Rom chefs - feel free to use this mod in your roms, but please give proper credit for the work and click my thanks button. Thank you.

Is geo tagging disabled? Camera fails when it is enabled on default camera aap. using another camera mod, but in it, video recorder doesn't work.
Does this mod fix these? Fingers crossed.
EDIT: WORKS! IT WORKS! Fixed my ****. You're the man!
Thanks thanks thanks
how do i install this? its a zip file
haven't test yet.but will try it soon.why don't you try to mod miui camera?it's more faster than original camera but the video doesn't work on our sg3

Awesome! I hope the mod gives the camera more useful edits.
Added how to install. Next target: Enable power button as shutter button in videocamera too!
'Self-photography' is impossible with the touchscreen button!
The power-button Mod is a good improvment. Thankyou for that
This might sound odd to you. But how about making the Menu button act as the shutter button? Its at a more convenient place and the back button already serves the purpose of quitting the app.

Kevin, Many thanks for providing not just one custom ROM for this phone but three!
I have choosen your HikeOS 4.2 as my favorite and here are some changes I have made:
1. I have added Email.apk, GalleryGoogle.apk and libcameracustom.so to get Email and working AutoFocus and non-crashing camera from a similar phone custom rom: HikeOS_JY-G3_Android_4.2.1_V3
2. Added Barcode Scanner from market to demonstate working AutoFocus.
3. Replaced bootanimation.zip with one that I like.
4. Removed GPS Status. The YGPS system apk that is designed for this phone gives faster locks. To get easy access to YGPS I have included QuickShortcutMaker and xShortcut free from market. First create a shortcut for YGPS with QuickShortcutMaker then create another shortcut for YGPS with xShortcut free with its Capture Shortcut mode. The xShortcut allows the YGPS run in back ground mode to work.
5. Added MT GPS from market to manually download EPO files every couple of weeks. I use the GPS EPO assistance mode for faster first time locks. I disable A-GPS mode to not use my mobile data.
6. I have modified SunBeam.apk to a Lockscreen wallpaper I like. To use launch Hike Themes and select Themes Style on the left with the Clock and apply.
7. For changable Lockscreen wallpaper I have moved theme SunBeam.apk from sytem to data/app directory to allow easy updating with APK editor that I have included from market. With APK editor "Select Apk from App" and scroll all the way to the bottom and select com.hike.them.SunBeam. Select "Resource". Select "drawable-hdpi" and scroll all the way to the bottom and select lock_wallpaper.png and replace with any 540 x 960 png or jpg file you want. Select Save then exit app. Your installable apk is in ApkEditor directory on your SD card. No need to reapply the Theme your change will take effect after installing.
Here is the link to the altered ROM:

Thanks.
The YGPS shortcuts and MT GPS should work for any MediaTek MT6577 phone.
The LockScreen wallpaper method should work for any HikeOS that has the same BootLoop issue or that has disabled the custom wallpapers for the lockscreen.
The libcameracustom.so is a recommended AutoFocus fix for any MediaTek custom rom when the auto focus is not working.
Unrar the video folder copy the video folder in root/system/media/lockscreen/
HOW TO APPLY : Go to theme (Tested miui 10 beta),click the extreme right icon( smiling face) in bottom,then go to wallpaper, chose my videowallpaper
DOWNLOAD
U can use any video as video wallpaper.
1. Create .videowallpaper folder inside MIUI folder in sd.card
2. copy any video of your choice inside this folder
3. delete the.extantion of video. Example : suppose u copy Nature_hdr_60fps_4k.webm , then just delete .webm
4. Now apply video wallpaper from my wallpaper section in theme app
Watch the video wallpaper in action Here
works well
SS pls
Exception (bad rararchieve)
Can u explain better the steps to apply, thanks.
Thanks!
Hi, I also installed MIUI 10 beta but the theme app is gone. I installed it from apkmirror but it still does not appear in the app drawer., and I didn't find "root/system/media/lockscreen/" on the device by plugging it through USB. Could you explain a little bit more how you did this, please ?

delete all data from theme app ,u found in installed app.Then delete delvik and cache from twrp
Can anyone mirror the file? It always says corrupted for me
Can someone make flashable zip? Also are wallpapers from this video belowe available? It is beautiful.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nwGYULJmeQ
How was the battery consumption?
Do I need a root permission to use this? It didn't work in MIUI 9.6.25.0 I've tested and trying to do it with the correct steps, still, it didn't work :/
Bad rar file can not open it
it will automatically set on both homescreen and lockscreen once I selected a videowallpaper, can I only have videowallpaper on lockscreen and a normal image wallpaper of my choice on home screen?
I can't do anything because the default file manner of Xiaomi can't reach root folder! Any solution? I already have es file explorer
Iam not a good thread maker so i will try to write everything as simple as i can.
Few days ago i bought and switched to A7 2018 from A5 2017, which was/is still an excellent phone to me.
On A5 i was on Oreo and on A7 i am and will be still on Oreo. Not planning to test this on Pie, but be my guest and try it on Pie, some stuff should work. Report if it does.
On A5 i made a similar thread to enable some features, but it was much easier to do because i had a CSC folder instead of ODM folder which has some files encrypted and you need them decrypted to proceed. And there is no flashable zip, you will need to do all on your phone, except decrepitng some files which you will need to do on your pc, and then put back and overwrite the same files on your phone and give necessary permissions.
First of all iam not a developer and i dont know anything about developing.
This is just enabling some features that were allready there in the phone through some lines on some files in ODM/OMC folder and some lines implemented in the stock floating_feature.xml file.
Never delete floating_features.xml file from your phones etc folder and dont touch permissions (0644), or your phone wont boot up. You just need to edit them and save.
Iv tested only on stock A750FNXXU1ASA4 OREO, which was only rooted and nothing else was modified.
The features you should get if everything goes right are:
1. Floating messages (option in Advanced features)
2. Record calls in (phone options)
3. Show network speed (option in status bar)
4. Data Usage Notification (option in data usage)
5. Camera Shutter sound on/of (in camera options)
6. ScreenRecord (options accessible from QPannel and Advanced Features)
7. S Bike Mod
8. Places option on keypad
9. Caller ID spam protection (in phone option)
9. LiveMessages in samsung keyboard
10. S PowerPlanning (Device Maintenance/battery)
11. HomeMode(screensaver option)
12. S Pen features( needed if you ever find working AirCommand).
13. In Samsung video options, but in option that apear when you press play on video,
you should see Video Enhancer option. Download Samsung video from Galaxy apps.
14. Multiuser support
15. Dolby Atmos dual speaker (works with speaker not just with earphones)
Anyway...
I f you dont know anything about floating_features.xml or bulid.prop or ODM/OMC folders and editing them, then dont try this beacuse I won't be held accountable if something happens to your phone if you loose your data or go into bootloop! So Dont Forget to Backup your Phone!
INSTRUCTIONS:
1.You have to be ROOTED offcourse and have a file manager like RootExplorer or simillar.
2. Now you need to copy from root of your phone two files from your contry ODM/OMC folder that your phone/SIMcard uses. It must be from your contrys ODM/OMC folder no other ones. The files are cscfeature.xml and cscfeature_network.xml After you decrypt them put them back in your phone and overwrite the ones inside your contry ODM/OMC folder and give permission 0644.
After that open in text editor with your Root Explorer cscfeature.xml file and on the bottom insert the lines that you can see in the attachment, then save and restart the phone.
To decrypt cscfeature.xml files follow this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/decode-encode-omc-files-omc-decoder-t3791471
3. Now open your floating_feature.xml which is located in system/etc folder and just edit/enter on the bottom of the file lines that you can see in the attachment, save and restart the phone. Dont do nothing else with this file just insert the lines then save and restart the phone. If you delete it you will go in to bootloop.
4. Now open your build.prop and on the bottom of the file enter lines that you can see in the attachment, save and restart the phone.
5. Now copy all files in system from the attachment and put them in their corresponding places.
Give perrmission for folder 0755 and 0644 for files.
Thats it!
I hope it works for you like it did for me.
Il try to answer any questions, when i have free time.
And if you all have problems doing this i will make a video tutorial when i have free time.
Does this tutorial applies to a7 2018 with android pie? I mean do I have to decrypt those files? I just want to enable call recording.

Okay upload the file. Will decrypt it if i got some time tomorrow. Easiest way is by using firefds xposed module. Youll see call recording setting under phone section.
So can I enable only call recording without decrypting those files? I've did it on my s8, just copied the csc code into build.prop...it will work on this device too?
Some more features if anybody is interested.
Its for Pie
