As a sneak peak and to show what future ideas I have on the roadmap, see screenshots below:

I installed the spare parts plus and found this app too. I have changed my vm heap to 64m for testing purposes and so far its a great app. Not much info inside the app as far as explaining vm heap growth etc but as long as you know what you are doing this is an excellent tool
I would like to add that a reboot option after changing vm heap or at least notifying that the susystem should be rebooted to stick settings wouldn't hurt. Very nice app

What's the hex editor do? Is it like GameCIH or something?
As for everything else, I'm a bit phobic of bad things happening to my phone, so I won't PERSONALLY utilize it, but great app, dude.

Thanks. Good suggestion on the notification. I will add this for the next release.
Regarding documentation, check the website, it has some documentation on the settings.

Re: hexeditor, this is to change some specific files, but I haven't implemented this yet.
I also released a clockworkmod zip recovery file. if you have a working CW recovery and mess up your settings, you can install the zip from CWR and undo the mess you make

I also added a reboot option in the menu. This includes a quick reboot of only the UI sub-system so that you get a 'fast reboot'.

Wow...now that's service! Thanks!

if you have CWR installed, then it should be safe, as you should be able to undo whatever mess you make using CWR and the recovery zip file.

And if we use Amon_RA recovery?

Oh great. so I just wanted to try disabling boot animation and apparently your app writes all the values into the /data/local.prop - even these that are unchanged.
Well, my problem was that the read out LCD density values were wrong and so my phone thought after a reboot I had a 30x45 pixel screen -.-
Took me half an hour to delete that file so I could use my phone again. Change this, it takes only a few more minutes to program that only changed values are written in the file!
By the way, I'm using a HTC Magic with CM6.1, 2708er Kernel and 2.22.28.25 radio.
I hope that helps.

i will download this Blade app,looks & sounds like a very productive tool.
but im a little noob to the deeper android terms..what is a dalvik thing?
what does it do?
i love the reboot & other tweak features but i dont know whats the dalviks are.
hope u guys can give me any hint about it thanks.

Dalvik is the name of the virtual machine used in Android. Heap size has to do with the amount of memory reserved for apps in easy words I guess.
Nevertheless if you don't know what you are doing, you are not supposed to mess with those settings. The devs of your favorite ROM will set everything up to the best possible configuration I assume.

the app reads existing settings from the different prop files and also current settings and writes those. It shouldn't change anything unless it is not defined. Can you send me a copy of your .prop files so i can review? And or send me a screenshot of what the settings are on read? Thanks.
Also you can use the zip file to reset from cwm if settings are messed up.

Didn't even touch the LCD Density settings, but it made my screen really, really big after reboot (I only enabled Stagefright and longened WiFi search).
Got everything back with Clockwork recovery reset file, but...... wtf?

[MOD] Hacked Gingerbread Camera.apk - updated 5/14/12

This is the Droid Charge Gingerbread Camera.apk with the following modifications:
* Sharpness set to +2 by default--use Camera-5-14-12.apk or Camera-with-2-sharpness.zip. dwitherell had a better idea for how to do this so that doesn't leave the sharpness stuck at +2, so I've updated the attachment to use his instead (thanks!) (added 5/14/12)
* Does not show in call warning--use Camera.apk or Camera-with-normal-sharpness.apk (added 12/20/11)
* Does not show battery warning on <= 15% battery (added 11/6/11)
* Shutter can be activated with either the power button or the search button (although you need to press pause or stop manually in the camcorder) (added 11/6/11)
Requirements:
* You must be running a deodexed Gingerbread Droid Charge ROM. If you have a /system/app/Camera.odex file, you are not running a deodexed ROM, and will need to flash a different one or deodex your ROM before using this mod.
Installation instructions:
1. Back up your Camera.apk by moving it to /system/app/Camera.apk.bak
2. Push one of the attached Camera files to /system/app/Camera.apk with adb or download and copy it there with RootExplorer or ROM Toolbox
Alternatively, flash one of the attached CWM ZIP files from recovery. Thanks to dwitherell for the empty flashable ZIP file, since I could never get them to work correctly when I created them myself.
To use a different version of this mod or revert to the original, download the desired file, rename it to Camera.apk, and then follow the installation instructions above
Known to work on:
Pretty much every Gingerbread (Android 2.3.6) ROM. It is included in Tweaked/TweakStock and InfinityROM.
Feel free to click the "Thanks" button if you like my work

Yeah power button for shutter would be sweet

THANK. YOU. I was trying to get the old one for froyo build's working today & I couldn't, this is exactly what I was looking for.
If you could also add Search Button for shutter, that would be perfect, since it's easier to press & more conveniently located than the power button.
One other request, sort of weird, but when I'm in the camera app, & I press the power button, make it so it actually puts the phone to sleep, not just locks it so you can't do anything but it's still running down your battery.

I counter that, I would like to use the power button for shutter. It's easier to use when you take a picture of others and of yourself
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium

Thanks for the feedback! Once I figure out how to change the behavior of keys in the app I could maybe create a couple different versions--one with search for shutter and another for power. I haven't figured out how that code works yet (I'm reading smali code for the most part) but I'll keep you posted.

I can confirm it definitely works on Humble. I used it tonight to take a picture at the Rangers game with about 10% battery left.

Thank you! This is very useful. I was taking off from Puerto Rico to fly back to Florida and I wanted to record the take off. But guess what? My battery was to low!

Doesn't work-humble 4.5. A working version would be sweet... Thanks for the effort.

When you replace the Camera.apk in /system/app/, what happens? Does it not show in the app drawer or are you not able to run it? If you PM me the Humble APK I will make the same modification to it as I did to the other one, which should make it work for you.

In general, if you replace a system app it will disappear from your home screen, but will reappear in the app drawer and soon as you put it back in /system/app/. That has been my experience, anyway.

Thanks Substance!!! Been waiting on this for a while! Would love to see a write-up on how you did it. What Smali code you edited etc. I spent some time learning how to turn stuff into smali, but was never able to make the necessary changes. Would love to see your thought process.
Thanks again!!!

I'm glad you found this useful
Smali is kind of like a cross between x86 assembly and Java, although it definitely beats the former in terms of being able to understand and code in it easily. I actually just found this thread where someone did essentially the same thing for a different phone, and the author explains the process he used (which looks about the same as mine).
What I did is I pulled out the classes.dex file from Camera.apk and used a tool called dex2jar to generate a .jar file with the "classes" embodied by the .dex file (I say "classes" because most of the generated classes are not actually valid code). I then used jd-gui to examine the classes, which provides a better high-level overview of what is happening than .smali files do. After identifying which methods contained the logic I wanted to modify, I used baksmali to decompile the .dex file into .smali files. Editing the smali files was generally straightforward, since I knew which methods I wanted to edit and I was mostly just removing code or adding a couple lines here and there. The low battery check is in AbstractCameraActivity.smali:handleLowBattery() and the key press logic is in Camera/Camcorder.smali: onKeyDown() and Camera/Camcorder.smali: onKeyUp(). After making the changes I packaged up the .smali files into classes.dex with smali and replaced the classes.dex in Camera.apk.
I'm far from an expert, but if you have any specific questions about smali, send me a PM and I'll try to help.

Hmm neither power nor search does anything in the camera or camcorder? Pressing the power button doesn't "lock" the camera like it usually does, right?

Yeah, pressing power locks the camera and pressing search does nothing. I've tried downloading and pushing it over 3 times, rebooting, and the remapped buttons won't work.

Since you're still seeing that the power button "locks" the camera, you're definitely on the first version that I posted. With the edits that I made, there isn't any logic in the app that can cause it to lock, so somehow the versions are mixed up for you. I just downloaded the APK attached in the first post and it behaves correctly for me. Can you please try this?
1. Rename Camera.apk in /system/app/ to Camera.bak2 or something
2. Confirm that the camera app is now missing from your home screen and app drawer
3. Copy the Camera.apk from the original post to /system/app/
4. Confirm that the size of Camera.apk is 2.07MB (the initial version shows as 2.06MB for me)
5. Confirm that the modification time on Camera.apk is sometime in the last xx minutes
Let me know how that works for you, thanks!

Yup, this is now the fourth time I've done all of that with still the same results. weird.

Xposed Framework for per app DPI

I wanted to make sure LG G2 users know that installing Xposed Framework and using the App Setting module allows per app DPI adjustments on stock LG ROMS. I put together a guide if anyone wants to give it a try and threw in some screen shots so you get an idea why you'd want to change your DPI.
LG G2 Xposed framework guide.

Here is Yahoo mail app at 300 dpi, compare how many emails you can preview at 480 default dpi.

Settings: 350dpi, screen (dp) = 1000x1600
Play Store: 200dpi, font scale 137, screen (dp): 1000x1600

FYI Setings FC's on any screen dp above 480 on VS980 (Verizon). Not sure if it's due to the differences in software or if there's something else going on. Pretty much any dpi will work though. I changed it on both com.android.settings (this is the one that FC's) and com.lge.settings.easy (doesn't FC but has no effect) and it didn't make a difference. I'm guessing it has something to do with the tab view....

I tried those settings I cannot get split screen to show the only thing I'm getting is the smaller text and settings but not the split.

I got it to work with settings but changed the settings and forgot what it was set to. Lol do you have to reset phone each time and are you using the xposed tablet ui mod in conjunction with this ?also what rom are you using, im on xleanrom 1.2 for att.

Thanks for the guide. I've just had a read through and installed the framework on top of cyanogenmod.
Just a quick question. Is it possible to set everything on the phone to 320dpi (which I'm pretty sure PA defaults to) with one setting or do I have to go through every single app/system and set the DPI manually?
So far I've got Gmail working in tablet mode using with a few different DPI's combine with 800x1280 screen (dp) and the same goes for settings and a tablet UI.

When I lower the DPI in messages, the background image (behind the texts) gets screwed up.
Any ideas?

Yea you can use texdroider_dpi from the Play Store to do a system wide DPI change. I use 400 and it's great with no ill side effects.
If you manually look through the build.prop, you'll see references to an "alternate_dpi=400" which I think is for video out. So putting the system in 400 lets you utilize the screen better without causing any issues or reason to use Xposed modules to fix individual apps.
I think the best solution would be to use texdroider_dpi to set the system default of 400, then use Xposed to change a few specific apps such as Settings, Email, Play Store, etc for dual screen. To be honest though, a system default of 400 is really all that is needed.

Yeah 400 is the sweetspot for me too. Then as you say I just change the DPI individually for the apps I want smaller/bigger than that. Works wonders. When I set Settings to tabletUI, it occasionally crashes for me. When the app has idled for some time and I open it again. Have you had this issue with Settings in tabview?

What settings did you guys end up using to end up with tabletui for settings/gmail/playstore that looked best on the G2's screen?

Are you guys not seeing this? After setting dpi, even using Textdroider, to 400, go into the stock messaging app and tell me your wallpaper hasn't shifted to the left by about a 5th of the screen size.

[Guide] Stock Miui Camera Port for Android 10 Custom roms (Magisk/TWRP) / ANXCamera

Hi.
For those who missed the miui stock camera here I leave the way to have it again but this time in the versions of android 10 AOSP (Custom roms).
Download two files from the following page:
MOD EDIT: DOWNLOAD LINK REMOVED
Go to the download section and download:
MOD EDIT: DOWNLOAD LINK REMOVED
Go now in downloads / addons and download:
Questions belong to Q&A section
These files flash via TWRP or Magisk (I used with Magisk).
To enjoy.
* Particularly the wide-angle camera and portrait mode don't work for me, slow motion looks a bit dark.

exciting, thanks for sharing.
Works for me as you instructed on Lineage OS 17.1 coderzs. Wide-Angle and Portrait is crashing. Everything else great by far. So much better than all of these buggy gcam and hypercam mods i tested.
Tbh, the MIUI stock camera is the only thing which makes me look back at MIUI. Really looking forward to the wideangle and portrait fix if its doable.

I have been comparing this camera to OpenCamera (OC) on default settings on a short trip to the prepper-ridden supermarket.
It appears to me that in comparison to the OC pics this camera oversharpens or is applying a lot more contrast, which makes the pictures look uncanny up close and washed out in the distance. Super HD mode exaggerates this oversharpening effect.

The wide-angle lens that I use is that of the gcam, you have to activate the auxiliary cameras from the settings and that's it.

Thanks, how good it works for you.
Try this version, it works very well and you don't need the .xml file.
It seems that some details were corrected, for example that change of color on the cell phone screen when taking the photos.

Yes, I've noticed that indeed, didn't bother me that much because on my Pixel 1 i was using one that did just the same sometimes. I will try, thank you!

I have evox installed and it already has the anx camera but the protrait mode crashes the app
Also I'm using pixel cam 7.3 by jairo_ rossi and the wide lens works fine but the ultra wide crashes the app every time i try to take a pic, anyone has any suggestions?

Try this gcam, it works very well on the mi 9 lite.
Wide angle, portrait and more work.

exciting, thanks for sharing.
Works for me as you instructed on Lineage OS 17.1 coderzs. Wide-Angle and Portrait is crashing. Everything else great by far. So much better than all of these buggy gcam and hypercam mods i tested.
Tbh, the MIUI stock camera is the only thing which makes me look back at MIUI. Really looking forward to the wideangle and portrait fix if its doable.

The most stable thing I tested in Gcam is a HyperCam, it is one based on Gcam 6.1.021.
HyperCam_Final_6.1_A10.apk
Use this .xml file

Hi.
For those who missed the miui stock camera here I leave the way to have it again but this time in the versions of android 10 AOSP (Custom roms).
Download two files from the following page:
MOD EDIT: DOWNLOAD LINK REMOVED
Go to the download section and download:
MOD EDIT: DOWNLOAD LINK REMOVED
Go now in downloads / addons and download:
48MPFixQ_171.ImprobablePrivateBluebottle.zip
These files flash via TWRP or Magisk (I used with Magisk).
To enjoy.
* Particularly the wide-angle camera and portrait mode don't work for me, slow motion looks a bit dark.

If you mean the 0.6x that one I can't get working on pixelcam, but that's really a depth finder, not actually an ultra wide camera anyway, in MIUI it's used during portrait or other shots to attempt to find the best zoom depth for photos, it's not actually intended to be used as a camera normally.

That's the 1.5 you're talking about, in pixelcam when i press the 0.6 button it shows the feed from the ultrawide indeed but when u change mode or press the chutte button or anything else it crashes, meanwhile the 1.5 camera which is the depth one also shows it's feedz since it's 5mpx it's grainy and bad and barrow but it works properly and takes pics and all

where is the link ?

Any of you geniuses working on an APK for GCam?

Still prefer GCam's processing and computational photography over Samsung's. Is there a specific user to keep an eye on?

Did you try any of the apks for the note series? They make work

The only site I know of is celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
Is there another site that posts note10/note20 specific apks?

I have been searching various forums for weeks, for any Gcam version to work on the FOLD2. I know the Samsung camera is pretty decent but I like Gcam as well and the ability to use Playground AR. I'm not sure why none of the Android 10 (snapdragon) APK's seem to work even partially. Gcam worked great on my previous FOLD device.Grrrrr... It's always something....

I prefer Gcam's hdr look over Samsung's. They've had longer to work on computational photography and still do a better job I think. Also Samsung's software over-sharpens.

Thanks so much!! I must tried 30 apk's that looked like they would work to no avail. This one works great.

Wait does this one open right when unfolded? When I use it the ui gets screwy and like the capture button in the middle of the screen

Which version are you running. I tried the latest and it's quite buggy.

You are correct the shutter button comes up in middle of the inner screen not the bottom
The version I posted a few days back was NOT made specifically for the Fold2 so the UI us a bit off.
However the pictures and videos it produces are excellent

set gcam's aspect ratio to 16:9 in good lock (multistar) and it fixes the button / UI problem

in multistar click on "I [heart] Galaxy Foldable" at the top, then set aspect ratio for each app, then scroll to gcam
it doesn't fill the whole internal display, but at least everything fits as it should on both screens this way

oh weird, I have a list of all of my apps there -- maybe FC it or restart or, worst case, clear app data?

yeah I don't get it.. clean install..

I found that a ratio of 18.5:9 with Urnyx05: GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.2-fix.apk version of the app worked really well

So far the only gcam apk that's working for me on my ATT version of the Fold2 is Urnyx's 7.3 v2.2.
Here's a direct screenshot of what it looks like on the external display using the 16:9 ratio which you'll see doesn't fill the top section of the display but whatever
What it looks like using the inner display with 16:9 ratio set in Good Lock
Lastly, does anyone else have an issue trying to use the advanced settings to enable the 2nd and 3rd lenses with this setting? If I try to enable this, the app forces closes and clearing the data with the app settings to bring everything back to default is the only way to get it to run again. Anyone able to get the 2nd and 3rd lenses working?

Greatness 2.1.1 works too -- I believe it uses the Urnyx code, so same issues.
The ultrawide lens works for Urnyx 2.2, but the Camera Ids are mixed up and it shows as the telephoto. When setting up the aux lenses, only enable the telephoto lens option. Then to use the ultrawide just click the 2x button. Lib patcher adjustments need to be made under telephoto too.
Hopefully Urnyx fixes this in a future version -- a couple people have mentioned it happening now in that gcam thread for other Samsung phones too.
The actual telephoto lens won't work in gcam on this or any other Samsung phone for now because Samsung never exposes that camera in the system for some crazy reason.
