Will a custom kernel help the image and camera - Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers

Hello.
I don't know where to ask thoses simple questions :
1. My XZ has crushed blacks (my Xperia T look better), will a custom Kernel help ? I read about KCAL, can it help for this kind of issue ? (raise black level / modify gamma). If KCAL stuff are included into kernel, do you need to install another app or the kernal add a custom menu into android ?
2. I find the camera to be quite terrible, insane noise processing and edge enhancement. About this DRM-stuff... is this possible to actually disable the sony processing of the camera ? Would rather get natural noisy and soft picture than this artificial looking mess (i don't mind about Xreality)
thank you!

Is it possible to tweak the Captivates screen colors?

Hi to everyone. Noob question, like plasma TV's and LCD's you can change / tweak their color values, hue, brightness contrast etc. Some even go as far as open the service menu of the TV to do a more thorough job. I was wondering if there was a way/app/hack to do this on the phone.
The screen is great but a bit too saturated and plays on the blue/green spectrum a bit too much.
Hardcores speed mode kernel has color adjustments for cool and warm. So I think the answer is yes, but it is not easy and requires knowledge of programing the device
galaxy tuner app.
flash kernels with color adjustments (i.e. voodoo color)
voodoo color even not needed for Galaxy Tuner
Thanks, I am quite new with all of this, I tried searching for Galaxy Tunner app in the market but did not find it anywhere there.
Thanks though for the input, must be core complicated that I think.
Anyway it would be great if phone makers in the future build in some sort of screen tuning app and presets, you know how like TV's have a cinema mode, vibrant mode, etc. plus a few basic controls for color temperature and hue.

[Q] HTC surround camera

Hello, i wanted to ask is there any way to improve surroun's camera quality? Like with some settings or an app or ROM or something like that? I've read that photos taken with htc surround is compressed (5mp photo is smaller than 1MB!!) so maybe that would be the key to improve quality - by decompresing them? Please help, it's a great phone but camera quality is awful and i'm thinking of buying a new one if there is no way to improve it. Thank you

7.10.7740.16 ROM version

I don't understand, does this actually change the RGB? I thought that was only possible with a custom kernel??
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA Labs
Does anyone know the RGB values for cm13's night mode?
Awesome about to try
Some roms cannot xhange rgb. This apps helps but it trial for the feature. Sad
I know its would be pretty easily acheived through tasker with the current version, but an update to change colour profiles (particularly the daylight oversaturated one) based on ambient light level would be most appreciated.
Great app otherwise! Especially useful for kernels and devices that don't support kcal.
Any change of values results in framerate drop across ui. I'm using Xperia ZL on stock 5.1.1. The stutters in ui are constant until switch it back to normal and reduces the experience greatly. If there was a way to increase saturation without having to deal with those frame drops it would be awesome.
If you can fix it with an update please do it.
The stutters I experience are similar to those when I enable simulate colo space in developer options.
this app is awesome to increase saturation and get more vivid colors

[Q] Camera Mod S7

Not sure where to start this thread, this is more of a dev question.
I've decompiled the S7 camera app and taken a look at the source code. In case you haven't done this, the rundown is this: there is a main camera app with pluggable modules. Most of the downloadable camera add-ons are already implemented inside the stock app. For example, "Sports" is just a really basic camera, probably to make focusing and capturing pictures as quick as possible. By downloading an addon you are essentially adding an icon in the camera modes.
I mainly want to achieve two things: 1) lower the sharpness from 0 to -1 and 2) create a mode where the shutter time does not go above 1/30 or so.
1) There are a few generic Android camera properties that control that, is there a way to add them to some properties file? The keys: sharpness, sharpness-max, sharpness-min
2) Is there a way to inject my own method inside some class from the camera app? For example there is a method inside the "Pro" mode that does exposure calculation, I think I implement some stuff there.
Obviously, both features can be added with a bit [more] of coding, but it's not without pain. For example some icons would need to be created, handle resizing and different resolutions, handling device rotation, etc.
Other things that can be done by taking control of the camera app: add RAW in any mode, control OIS and video stabilisation, anti-fog mode (?), finer control over focusing modes and speeds, HDR, low-light detection. Hopefully this sparks someone's interest.
Just as an update, to underline the fact that it's doable: http://hackcorrelation.blogspot.com/2017/08/a-look-inside-samsung-s7-camera.html

Nevermind then lol.
Thank you for the reply, but not sure whether to read it as information or advert.
Consider me interested.
Did you achieve this ?! I am trying to compile the code in android studio but there are alot of errors. Even when i have managed to compile it, when i install it on my Note 8 there is nothing. Any working source code ?!
"add RAW in any mode, control OIS and video stabilisation, anti-fog mode (?), finer control over focusing modes and speeds, HDR, low-light detection." isn't that on some other app that we can port it from? (in my head that would be less coding)

+1 this can be a great mod
good
When i installed through app I am getting this error that "camera failed" and unable to attach here and I am using TGP rom
I created an app duovision camera. You can try the dual camera feature. It may not work on some devices. Cheers
Hi Agonsh.
I have a galaxy S6 which the dual camera app from samsung works on but your duovision does not. Did you make it from decompiling S8 onwards for it to work?
Yes i did with using the newest Semcamera jar library which has an integrated dualcamera feature. And i know that it does not work on older versions.
Thanks Agonsh, appreciated. Cheers.

Pardon my ignorance and sorry to bother. New to XDA. Is the latest semcamera jar library available for download here or somewhere else?
