I tried to find an alternative camera app which would allow me to manually set the ISO value however I wasn't successful. I came across Camera360 and Camera FV-5 which should support this. In case of FV-5 I really could change the ISO value but it had no effect at all, the camera was still automatically adjusting to the light, and Camera360 said that this feature wasn't supported by my phone which was rather disappointing. So do you think that there is something I could do about it? Maybe trying an alternative ROM with different camera driver?
I'm using rooted stock Android 4.0.4.
EDIT: I also tried HDR Camera app and surprisingly it worked as expected. As far as I know, HDR effect in this app is achieved by taking two (or more) pictures with different light sensitivity (ISO value) and combining them into final picture. So assuming I understand this correctly, it must be somehow possible to force ISO value to the camera and Camera360 or FV-5 just don't how to do that... So maybe I just have to find another app... any ideas?
I'm interested in making a custom camera app for s**** & giggles on my One S. I got the camera parameters app to check out the parameter string.
I noticed the video-hfr modes with a list of frame rates (60, 90,120) and resolutions. The slow-motion parameters is the same our default app uses presumably since the video res matches. Now is it possible to activate these modes in a custom app by matching the key/value pairs under the set property? Also how will hfr mode work if video preview is locked to 31 fps max? Any insight or guides to more documentation would be appreciated greatly !

I guess you can't do that because just like the Sony cam, the kernel should built-in the cam driver and hard-coded some settings into it. You simply can't just make a cam app and do really what you want.
In my understanding, some sensation phones actually could shout at 60fps but it's limited to 30fps by kernel on HTC One X/S now for some reasons, I've read that on sensation board. The existing slow motion mode is suck, though the resolution is about 720x480 but the actual quality is just like 360x240.

[ Arnova 8.1 XML Configs ]
There are four XML configs for this version: FrontA, FrontA_shasta, FrontB and FrontB_shasta. If front camera white-balance fails in certain lighting conditions with FrontA, switching to FrontB is advised and vice-versa. FrontA is ideally suitable for day selfies and FrontB for night selfies
NOTE: Back camera performs the same with all four configs. Only front camera white-balance is affected
Download the XML Configs from HERE
To learn how to load XML files please see this tutorial
Create the appropriate path for 8.x version on device storage » put the XML file(s) inside "Configs8" sub-folder » open G-Cam and double-tap the black empty space around the shutter button » load config (switching between configs does not require rebooting)
NOTE: Android 11 users must grant full file permissions to Google-Camera in order to be able to load xml configs
Long-press on G-Cam icon > Info > See More > Permissions > Files and Media > Allow management of all files
For info about XML features and tuning, please read the changelog upon loading the configuration file!
Shasta is a bracketing mode capable of merging multiple frames of different exposures. Affects noise, controls shadows and allows for a wider dynamic range. Works only with Camera and Portrait (capturing is prolonged while active)
Some basic rules for better understanding of shasta in good light versus low light:
a) in good light, shasta generates more details, but may also add more noise
b) in low light, shasta generates more details, but reduces noise by a large margin
[ PRO Back Camera Tips ]
When shooting in low-light scenarios like after sunset or before sunrise, tap to focus on the viewfinder for a better exposure. Focusing manually will raise just the right amount of exposure for a perfectly balanced ratio between highlights and shadows
When shooting a subject with strong light coming from behind, tap to focus on the subject and slightly raise exposure using the exposure slider. This will ensure the subject will be well exposed
[ PRO Front Camera Tip ]
When shooting a selfie with strong light coming from behind or when shooting in low-light, your face may be underexposed. To counteract this issue, tap to focus on your face and slightly raise exposure using the exposure slider. This will ensure your face will be well exposed
[ Other Useful Tips ]
∆ EIS works only on 1080p ~Auto/30fps videos using ‹IMX586 QBC HDR Mode› video stream which is set by default for back camera. Only compatible with ‹Standard› and ‹Locked› stabilization modes ∆

IMPORTANT: A clean install is always recommended prior to using Google-Camera in order to avoid possible functionality issues with the app! First uninstall all G-Cam apps currently found on your system » install G-Cam » open it and grant permissions » close G-Cam » clear G-Cam data and cache » open G-Cam and apply the settings/config » reboot device
ABOUT 48MP RESOLUTION: True 48MP is not currently supported on any G-Cam mod due to a limitation in RAW Sensor/Camera2API. This mode is only supported in MIUI Camera. On few devices this hindrance has been tackled via Magisk modules which override that limitation. But on mid-range devices it isn't a viable solution because 48MP coupled with HDR+ will basically freeze the Google-Camera app due to processing power being insufficient. There are some older 6.x.x G-Cam versions which support a 48MP resolution on portrait mode, but it is just an upscaled resolution and not the real deal

This feature does not work on our device due to a limitation in RAW Sensor/Camera2API. And even if this limitation can be overcome, there will be serious performance issues because 48MP coupled with HDR+ Enhanced will basically freeze the Google Camera app due to processing power being insufficient. Google Camera is not designed to work with such high resolutions. Even on the few devices where it does work, it causes huge lags and also the viewfinder is significantly cropped.

This is ANX (MIUI) Camera, so of course 48MP mode works fine. It doesn't work with GCam.
The photos from front camera are turning me into an Avatar character. I guess the channels are getting exchanged? RGB <-> BGR ? the live camera preview is ok but the clicked photos are coming out to be so

This is due to color filter arrangement which is set to <RGGB> by default. Changing it to <Auto> will solve the problem. Better yet, use the XML config provided on 1st page.

Try it and see if it's good enough for you.
Hi
Just a few things I noticed. Sometimes the location data is not saved, the logs cannot be disabled. It keeps logging regardless of the settings. Other than this and the known limitations it's a good port.
L. E. : another issue that I found is that sometimes the camera doesn't take the picture. It focuses, when I click the shutter it seems to take the picture, but nothing is saved. I can't reproduce it. It happens randomly.
Cheers!
Has anyone tried Gcam version 8?

Yes, I am using Evolution X android 11 ROM. Sometimes it's recodring without any issues but sometimes only the first time when I start recording it freezes and says "Can't record audio. Other app is using the microphone." then i start recording for second time without problems.

XML CONFIG: I have created an XML config for this version which is tuned for best image quality. You can download it from HERE
To learn how to load XML files please see this tutorial
NOTE: Switching between configs does not require rebooting!
AWB is disabled by default to ensure a straightforward and hassle-free user experience. Suits all indoor and outdoor conditions by rendering accurate image temperature and colors whether shooting in natural or artificial lighting
AWB On (Auto) is suitable for shooting in particular outdoor conditions where a cooler image temperature is needed. Great for capturing foliage with dark-blueish greens and generally recommended for blue colors. Especially suitable for cloudy weather and useful for framing the blue sky with a mass of water in one shot. Not suitable for capturing warm colors such as light-greens or yellow colors in general and great for neutralizing sunlight
NOTE: PLEASE READ THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE XML CHANGELOG FROM MODS CONFIGS CREATOR!
[ PRO Back Camera Tips ]
When shooting in low-light scenarios like after sunset or before sunrise, tap to focus on the center of the viewfinder for a better exposure. Manually focusing on the center of the viewfinder will raise just the right amount of exposure for a perfectly balanced ratio between highlights and shadows
When shooting a subject with strong light coming from behind, tap to focus on the subject and slightly raise exposure using exposure slider. This will ensure the subject won't be underexposed

Thank you thank you thank you first of all for all the amazing work u guys do..
Also a problem iam having is inspite of making exposure full high.. When the pic comes its super dark in low light.. What am I doing wrong
Also what else settings can I tweak to get better pics.. Especially in potrait how can I get larger file size for editing..
Is this thread active?
can you help me?
The professional (manual) Android camera app's "iso" setting has an error.
In the default camera app, if I raise the "iso" level, the image exposure gets brighter.
However, in all other pro ("manual") Android camera apps, no matter how high iso is set up, It's always dark. "iso" doesn't change the exposure to brightness.
Increasing iso to 400, 800, 1200, or setting the maximum value of 4000, does not affect exposure. The image and video brightness are always dark!

Hello all, I have been trying multiple different avenues to achieve the best quality video or raw video streams and would like to share what I have found and open up a discussion for anything that could lead to kernel/magisk/isp pipeline mods that could benefit us all. Here are some apps and resources that I have found to be the best. The max encoding bitrate that I can achieve with avc/hevc is around 160mbps regardless.
Ultracorder
Very good video app, can change api in app settings, paid app, but you can find mod version easily.

Some questions I have are that would increasing frame buffer allow for higher video Bitstream bandwidth?
Also why or how is Qualcomm Spectra 380 shutter lag limited to 30hz and could this possibly be modified?
Could the Video Front End pixel clock or other settings be modified to achieve better quality?
Would gstreamer be good for something like this? Hence these links..
