Question Change default jpg compression of the camera - Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra

Is it possible to somehow (via adb or similar) change the default camera compression for jpg and heic to improve the quality of the photos?

Use Expert raw app. Can't be higher than that

The jpg's that expert raw generates are smaller (so I understand with more compression) than the ones that the stock camera makes.

RAW photo data from device camera?

I've been searching everywhere online and have not been able to find any photo apps that save or allow access to the RAW photo data on Android devices. Since all digital cameras capture RAW data then process to jpg this should be possible - it would just be a matter of accessing the camera cache immediately after an exposure and writing the data to a file instead of sending it for processing.
Has anyone come across an app or an ongoing project that does this?
If not, does anyone know of an app that allows you to set the jpg compression level? This is not as good as the RAW data but at least you could set compression to minimun and preserve as much information as possible.
Thanks.

Photo RAW on Jiayu G3 (mtk6577) works.

Who are interested in shooting in raw on this phone? It is in the engineering menu. It works. I decoded the output file. Is a much higher quality than stock or other camera in jpeg. It's clean, unprocessed raw (15MBt)! There is a desire to get the application: to somehow pull (decompiled? Remake) of the module EngineerMode.apk shooting (test camera), add the raw decoder output file into something normal (tiff / png /? /). Decoder exists in the source code (java, but for the computer). Must somehow combine it to get a full application. I do not have enough knowledge of the language. And I can not understand decompile EngineerMode.apk. So I can not do it.
Here are four photos in the archive View attachment test.zip two in jpeg, reaped by the android, and other tiff (converted from raw, untreated, as-is). The only disadvantage we have to somehow adjust the white balance (often obtained images like this, with a greenish tint). What are the advantages: no artifacts jpeg (cubes), more dynamic range (shades easily into focus - see for yourself).
This applies not only to my phone Jiayu G3, but also to the entire platform MTK6577 (maybe more). I think this application will be very popular. Who made it?

Mod to change default sharpness, over post-processing of S7 camera?

Hi, the S7/S7Edge camera is good but the images are entirely over sharpened and generally lifeless. Just overdone.
Any way to tone down the sharpness, and use the old post processing of the S6?
Or is this not possible given it's a different sensor, etc?
I would love such a fix too. Any other camera app probably? RAW is one way to fix it but you can only edit RAW files stored on internal storage along with their jpegs in the same folder in Snapspeed. Otherwise Lightroom(which isn't available in my playstore) or photoshop is required.
RAW are also too big for general purpose photography at 23Mb per file
Right now only solution is to use PRO mod and RAW =( ....
Maybe camera app or port from S6 ?
and what about the video? Sometimes I have to shoot on the S7 because I just have it with me. The video really sucks in postprocessing because the oversharpening creates a whole lot of artifacts. Pro mode isn´t really an option and there is is no setting to turn down sharpness in any way.
If there is a mod for the bitrate, why isnt´t it possible to patch the sharpen value?
I found that using HDR on reduces sharpen in AUTO mode .... Also HDR on Auto gives diferent results...
I think that MOD is possible ... only to find right person

Problems with RAW shots?

Hi all, I tried to do some shots in RAW mode. After the shot I have two files: a JPG and a DNG. The jpg is perfect as always, but the DNG File is pixelate and it's very bad. I asked at the Honor official page and they said that's normal because I'm watching it on my smartphone and that on PC the quality would be different, but is it really normal?
To my knowledge, the phone shows just the jpg thumbnail of the raw file (since it would be quite cpu consuming to "develop" the raw data each time). So if you open the raw file in Lightroom or raw converter, it should be fine. Also if you edit the dng on the phone and save the result as jpg, the jpg quality should be ok. At least this is my experience (I use raw mode quite a lot to later edit the raw files in Lightroom).
So there's no way to see a clear image while elaborating it. I will se the good results only at the end.
What exactly do you mean by "pixelated"? And what app do you use to watch the raw image? On the Honor's builtin Gallery app the dng is quite ok quality. If you use a third-party app, it's possible that it cannot dig the best-quality preview from the dng file.
I mean this
While the jpeg is this

DNG to JPG converter which actually works properly...

I have tried several apps but they either don't recognise the phone's camera app's DNG format or they are simply useless for other reasons e.g. always writing the output to some directory (folder) in the device filespace which one then has to move them out of.
I need something which can convert them from the SD card
e.g. 0000-0000/DCIM/Camera
to the same place.
The S7 is rooted, with SDfix etc.
I would appreciate any tips. Basically I would like an app which works with the Samsung DNG format and which has configurable in and out folders.
Android v6, not v7, rooted.
If you have RAW enabled in camera settings, the phone also stores a JPEG of the exact same photo, so no need to convert them really
Not sure about Android apps, but on PC just load them into your favourite RAW photo editor and export them as JPEGs (Lightroom for example)
Not quite... taking the DNG and processing it with say Lightroom produces a vastly better quality photo.

The Jpegs from the phone are over-contrasty and over-sharpened. One should never apply unsharp mask until the image is resized to the final resolution (if at all).
Yes I know that, which is why I suggestion Lightroom
Converting on the phone is not going to give anywhere near the same results as PC Lightroom
Use a PC

The real issue IMHO is that all the camera apps are mostly just control panels for the camera API. They don't AIUI get the image to play with. That is why e.g. all of them have the same contrast steps, same exposure range, etc. The JPG is done by the OS and the app gets what it gets. One camera app developer explained this to me.
