[Completed] General Kernel, Camera question (Nubia z9 max) - XDA Assist

Hello guys,
I have a problem with the camera on Nubia z9 max.
First off: I have had a Oneplus one before and used it with Franco Kernel and the FV-5 camera app.
In the FV-5 app, there are settings for contrast, saturation and sharpness of the photos, which would let me choose on a scala from 0 - 36 for each of the settings, resulting in great photos when adjusted right. Now on the Nubia z9 max, it only let`s me choose only from 0 - 4 (which doesn`t seem to change anything in the final picture) when on firmware 3.0.3 based on android 5.0.2, while on firmware 3.5.2 based on android 5.1.1, all three settings were completly locked to zero....Also it seems that no matter what ISO i`m choosing (be it in FV-5 or the original camera app), the ISO setting is automatically adjusted by the phone. Basically, all important camera settings are working in Auto mode, and auto mode sucks on this phone.
Now my question is: Could this be related to the Kernel (It seems to me that my Oneplus camera made much better photos with franco kernel than with stock) and if yes, is there anything i can change as an amateur to unlock/change the camera settings? Unfortunately, there are no custom Kernels around for this phone....

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
I'm sorry to hear about your trouble. There is no forum specifically for the Nubia Z9 Max at this time but I suggest that you ask your question with all relevant details in the friendly general Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum at http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help. That's a good place to start where members familiar with your device might be able to advise you. I also see a number of references to your model from a site search at http://forum.xda-developers.com/sitesearch.php?q=nubia z9 max such as the thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/nubia-z9-max-faq-root-twrp-cyanogenmod-t3187000 which might be worth reviewing.
Good luck!

Thanks for the answer. I will try it in the android forums as suggested. I also saw that thread by the user dianlujitao, but unfortunately i can`t post there, since i`m a new user.
But thank you anyway.

Change camera settings past the options in the camera app

Hello,
Are there any apks that are capable of modding the camera? My phone is a G Flex 2 and it has a very capable camera + sensor, but its default (and unchangeable to my knowledge) setting is overexposed, sharp, and grainy. I don't believe there are any available firmware flashes to it at this point in time, either.
I'm looking for some software that will allow me to manually modify my camera's settings, but not just inside of one external app like L Camera. I want to be able to get more out of my camera in apps that access it automatically, too, like snapchat.
I tried googling for this, but the thing I'm looking for is ambiguous enough that I can't find any good definitive info on it; only firmware mods for Motorola or the G2.
Do any of you know of such an app?

[Completed] ISO setting in camera

I can't set the ISO value manually in moto g 3 camera. Also 3rd party Camera app can't, even a custom rom fails to do so. How can i fix this? Tried cm 12.1, rr mix..
Please help
Hi
Since ISO is hardware dependent you can't do anything I guess. Did you try A better camera app? You should be able to change it if your hardware is supported.
Tried so many camera apps, iso is disabled in all...

Install Gcam on Xiaomi Redmi Note 9S? What's in it for me?

Hi fellas,
I recently bought a Xiaomi Redmi Note 9S, and aside from the fact that it's still running Android 10 over MIUI 12.0.3.0 (Global / EU since I'm in France) when everybody else and their cousin seems to have switched to Android 11 already, everything's peachy with the phone.
My question is borne more out of curiosity than necessity: How better would my photos be if I installed Gcam (Google Camera), rather than keep on using OpenCamera or the Xiaomi app the phone ships with? Would I really see an improvement in the way the Gcam software treats images?
If you think I'd get to gain from the install, then a second question comes to mind: How to install the config file that comes with most of the builds I've found here and there? Last time I installed Gcam on the phone, the config file came separately, and however hard I tried to follow instructions, I never managed to load the config file, so I ditched the app altogether. Patient, I am not for that kind of thing, I'll confess.
So, what gives?

gcam use some algorithm to enhance photos to high dynamic range (HDR). you may get better image if you use proper gcam made for your phone.
secondly, config file can be loaded in settings of most gcam. you can use youtube or any tutorial to see how to load configs.
Thanks for your reply, Bhanu. It was my understanding that what Gcam does, mostly, is to apply some sort of software "magic" to what the sensors record, and in this respect, the 48MP main sensor on the Note 9S isn't too shabby, so I'd really like to give it a try, but as I said in my OP, every time I did what was advised in the tutorials I read, i.e. press somewhere in the camera interface (left of the capture button), I always got the same "no config file to load" message, although I had a config file waiting to be installed, one that I had downloaded along with the Gcam .apk file, so I was wondering if there were APKs that already contained said config file, and if so, where can I find them?
For example, this article points at two different builds based on Gcam 8, but it doesn't mention where to find the config file that goes with either one of them.
hi, i like the way you replied,
about gcam i have found v7.4 its recommended to use v7 because they are relatively stable.

just open app and go to settings and developer settings and disable use google photo to use it.
or simply install google photos to make this version work.

Change main camera

Hey, first of all, I think this is right area to ask this (new to posting things).
I've had a look around the internet and xda to find out if I can change the main camera on my phone to another camera.
If that made no sense, I have 3 cameras on the back of my phone, I have a galaxy s20 g980f exynos and I want to change the default camera that apps like Snapchat, TikTok, Instagram, messenger use to the 64 mp sensor or wide angle, not the 12 mp main sensor. I have successfully rooted my phone with twrp and magisk. My s20 is running android 11, latest update.
I'm sorry if there is an answer already that I missed.

[CLOSED] Do we need a forum for Redmi Note 11 4G(spes) device?

Despite numerous requests for adding a forum for Redmi Note 11 4G(spes) device, this website has continuously ignored the requests for the same stating "not much discussed", "not much user interest", etc.
So, please vote it out here for one last time to show how much of a user base need a forum for Redmi Note 11 4G(spes)
Okay, 9 votes till now and all say "YES" a forum is needed.
Now, how does one decide how many votes needed to open a forum?!

So, nine votes from 11+ million XDA accounts. At least in my (democratic) country such a poll or party wouldn't make it into the smallest community parliament but I can ensure you that such a democratic petition would be at least filed by the administration. And even if I relax that to probably 15,000 - 20,000 members seen on XDA today (I didn't check the exact number) it wouldn't void my statement.
However, we might have another issue here: XDA-Developers is NOT a democracy but a privately owned website that is run by the guidances, policies and intentions of its owners and who have implemented the XDA constitution, the so-called XDA Forum Rules!
Personally I've no insight into the conditions when the admistrators create specific device fora in closest coordination with the site owners but my XDA search shows me that obviously never a development related thread for your subject device or just tutoriaks have been created although fora for this respect are available:
Miscellaneous Android Development
For ROMs, kernels, tools and scripts only (devices that do not have a forum on XDA)
forum.xda-developers.com
Android General
Android root tutorials, one-click root tools, ROMs and other Android modifications can be found in this forum for devices without a dedicated device forum
forum.xda-developers.com
Despite the lack of development threads for your device, there's certainly another chance to get a forum for it. I suggest to get in contact with your OEM and to convince them to a respective cooperation with XDA.
My esteemed team mate @TNSMANI has already closed one of your duplicate threads. Although commisioned by the above linked forum constitution (or rules) I've so far refrained from a deletion of your repeating duplicate or your demanding posts. Allow me to suggest that you review the XDA constitution, which you agreed to adhere to when you registered about 3 1/2 years ago, with special emphasis on article 2.3 and article 5. Thanks for your cooperation!
Pending on how this event continues I reserve the right to also remove earlier posts by you.

In My Experience if the Daily Use It's Okay (PE+ Slim which is without google apps cones with very few apps incl google phone, contacts, messages, chrome and PlayStore) but if some Specifics Game i.e. Drift Spirits (Japanese Version) not responds and Camera App Gcam Ported Latest Version 8.4.6 when i setting something wrong also (not responded) so i download OnePlus Camera Ported by AyraHikary version which is less not responded (Slow Motion and Watermark (Still takes photos) )
One Disadvantage: No Fast Charger Mode and After install i have to setting like some guides
1 - Enable Double tap to wake
Go to settings >phh trebble tree > xiaomi features > Enable D2W
2 - Bluetooth audio fix
Go to Settings> phh trebble tree> misc features > Force Disable A2DP Offload and then restart phone..done
3 - Fix call audio
Settings > phh treble settings > Qualcomn feature > tick mark use alternat audio policy and disable soundvolume effect
4 - 90Hz enable
Go to Settings> phh trebble tree> misc features > Force FPS > 90
5 - VoLte enable
Go to Settings> phh trebble tree> IMS features > Enable IMS network and force enable 4G calling....install 2nd option of IMS apk for qualcomn vendor...wait for download..then install it
and That's it. (After i re-unlock without 7 Days Period Noted: i tested on My Redmi Note 11 Spes) p.s. i installed with Fastboot mode by some guides https://mitanyan98.hatenablog.com/entry/2022/03/19/183132 (before reading please use google translate to english)

Man this bureaucracy is killing me.
Every single Redmi Note device is popular, there's no reason to not have a subforum for it. It's not even that hard to make a new subforum. The Note 11 will be insanely popular because of the 90hz display and superb battery life.
It's not like this is some obscure device from Panasonic or Energizer or some stuff like that.
On GSMArena alone, the Redmi Note 11 (SPES/SPESN) has 20,000 DAILY page visits.
Of course it would greatly help ROM development if we had one unified place for the ROMs and stuff.

you are right
bought the NFC version of this device (codename: spesn). What can I say after a month of use: Screen - very good, battery - excellent, and I was pleasantly surprised by the audio quality (headphones). I'm waiting for the transition to the A12.
Don't be like StackExchange, you're better than that.
This phone was released on February 9, 2022. Today is 25 May 2022, three months and sixteen days later, still nothing. 3 and a half months and the admins or whatever can't take 5 minutes to make a subforum for this great phone.
Good thing there's forums for RN11 Pro+ 5G (peux/veux), RN11 Pro 4G (viva/vida), RN11S 4G (fleur), RN11T; BUT not the damn spes/spesn. Every model BUT the most popular one has a subforum. Even the damn Helio/Dimensity/Mediatek CPU RN11's have subforums... seriously now.
What can we do to get a subforum for spes/spesn? This is the SNAPDRAGON version. So modding is easy.
I can't believe, it could be happened? I had bought Snapdragon version thinking I will find mods easily but till date there's not a forum for device, development is later thing
