Hey shant, good thread, here are my photos for you to attach (they are currently not showing in your OP) also are you sure neutrue

your photos? :)
[HTC One X] Shan89:
Thx mate , and thx for the new photos :thumbup: , ill add them to the op when I get on pc , btw it wasn't him :eek: , who was it cuz he posted them :eek:? Was it you lol ?
[HTC One X] hamdir:
no i mean the terms enchanted did you not mean enhanced?
[HTC One X] Shan89:
Oh yeah lol , ill fix that later if I don't forget :p
[HTC One X] skynet77:
This is the best bug i have EVER seen :)

This is probably a feature, and it work perfectly, I've just tried. See the difference between bug and a feature :)

Is there some feature to reduce grain in photos in low light conditions, it really anoys me? I've tried sharpness to -2, lock ISO to 100 but it has very little or no effect on grain...
[HTC One X] Lo_RaT_PeNaT:
First of all apologies, but do not know a thing, I have installed the mod. lyapota camera, however, I see in the pictures iso 1200, when the max. I see in the mod are 800, I see active hdr mode, I do not see that option in the mod, etc etc, that is what I do wrong?
[HTC One X] Shan89:
...... Its pretty much clear in the op what to do , can't you simply press the button on the left which looks like camera ... In there you'll find hdr panorama etc , in scene selection you can chose night scene , normal scene etc ...
[HTC One X] Shan89:
Added few more photos at the OP.

Thank you Sir:)

Hi!

Nice bug!

Can you tell me which rom do you use? Beacuse I have Ordroid 14.0.0, and I don't have Night scene.
[HTC One X] webpatrick:
This is NO bug

I'm sorry to say so, but this is NO bug, it's a feature. And it's well known to photographers that in Manual mode you can always shoot better photo's then in Auto mode (with any camera).

Actually you managed to post a great tutorial on how to make better pictures, so I would recommend you to change the word "bug" in the title to "enhancement".

Furthermore great job!
[HTC One X] Shan89:
Thx but still you're very wrong mate for many reasons , you're right when talking about digital cameras but as far as Hox goes you're very wrong.

1. Hox doesn't even have auto scene / mode selection , it can only change iso , condition , flash and that's about it , it will never chose night scene at night nor it will chose hdr when needed or any other scene / mode.

2. This bug seams to be working only on Hox and Hox+ , guys with snapdragon version reported it doesn't work for them , doesn't work on s3 as well nor nexus 4 , LG optimus etc since I tested it on many devices.

3. If this was a feature as you call it don't don't you think HTC would advertise this when releasing Hox and claim it as the best night camera phone for 2012 ? Cuz trust me none 2012 flagship can match Hox here. And HTC doesn't even know for this.

4. It is a bug for many reasons since you can use 2 scenes only when mixed with night scene we were never supposed to use 2 things at the same time , aside from that you are not able to use flash with night scene nor hdr unless you bug it this way , lastly this would be found out for sure 1 year ago if it wasn't bug and everyone would know about this .
[HTC One X] Shan89:
Viper 3.5.4 , I used sd , black pearl , renovate and some other roms as well it works on every Rom based on 3.18 base + , maybe works on lower bases as well , dunno. All I know is that I found this when comparing Hox vs s3 and I was on 3.18 base. Btw I also got lyoptas camera mod , not sure does it work on stock camera ... It should anyway.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
Shan i saw your new results, you know this trick is using extreme slow exposure so really you need to hold your hand still, try to place your device on a surface ;)

also the normal HDR+auto flash mode gives almost as good results with much faster shutter (the bug even brighter)
[HTC One X] bubbleboi:
This is awesome. Thanks man! The cam's finally putting it's f2.0 aperture to good use :thumbup::thumbup:
[HTC One X] Shan89:
Yeah , i was in a rush to take these pics fast and upload since gf was rushing me to go @ some dinner , anyway i found that if we use quad lock @ 1500 it gives better results lol since HDR is CPU demanding and i use max freq @ 1000 mhz :P

Anyway nice thing is this bug really takes great advantage of f2 when we have little light source near by :victory:

Np :)
[HTC One X] Shan89:
Confirmed it works for snapdragon HoX as well :cyclops: , but it must be on 3.18 base.

@Hamdir i'm curious does this work on HTC One as well , you gotta test this when you get your One since you gonna get it faster then i will :P
[HTC One X] hamdir:
i have them to try it, waiting for response

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2169626&page=126

but i need to make one thing clear mate

you discovered the night mode bug plus you helped us accidentally find the HDR + auto flash mode, which is not a bug and amazing on it's own

so for anyone who can't stabilize his shot better go with the standard HDR + auto flash, i would like to see some results from you without the night mode bug
[HTC One X] Shan89:
Sure , i'll do the test right now. Basically all you want me to do is test HDR + Flash without Night bug. :P I'll take some pics now indoor since outside is very bright lol.
[HTC One X] Shan89:
Here we go , btw took your advice and put the phone onto chair so it stays steady lol :P
[HTC One X] hamdir:
haha triple combo :laugh:

so HDR + flash, gives the most natural results similar to the HDR + night

HDR+Flash+Night = night vision or daylight :victory:
[HTC One X] Shan89:
Lol yeah , tho i don't think we can abuse so much HDR + flash unless indoor , when taking pics of city at night i'd still chose hdr + night clean no flashes since flash laggs them even more lol and we need to either hold hox really steady or place it somewhere :P , anyway i'm still amazed how hox really sees with f2 when used right :P

Edit : Btw the most accurate colors are with HDR + Flash + night , the wall actually is yellowish along with the floor cuz of the wall , but still hdr + flash looks better imo , this is too much light for indoor unless almost complete darkness :D
[HTC One X] skynet77:
You didn't do Normal scene + AutoFlash, would be good for comparison...

but I agree HDR+Flash+Night is awesome!
[HTC One X] Shan89:
Nahh not worth it , tho I was messing with normal scene + iso at 800 + high exposure + high brightness + night scene but its hard to make it good without making photos look like I took them right in front of the sun , maybe if Hamdir is not lazy he could find us great settings for this :p

@ Hamdir

Looks like guys at HTC one forum are lazy to try out this bug :banghead:

If this works on HTC one ... Well ... I can't image how insane results they'll have if we have so good results.
[HTC One X] skynet77:
Had the chance to try this at night, here's the results :)

First image is Night + HDR and second Night + HDR + AutoFlash

[HTC One X] rishimewara:
Very nice tutorials
[HTC One X] Ruudfood:
Awesome! Nice find. I can actually take decent photos at night now :)
[HTC One X] Shan89:
Thx :thumbup:
[HTC One X] hamdir:
This time without flash, this proves how good the trick is, check how much light collected in the background
[HTC One X] Shan89:
Great samples mate , the trick is insaine. I'm sure none phone can match it. Maybe one when it gets more optimised.

One thing is for sure , one takes much better colors. Damn hdr ruins it , tho I noticed sometimes hdr + night + flash make very accurate colors. Try it sometime.
[HTC One X] ryanjsoo:
Would it be possible for someone to make a modded stock camera with night+hdr as an option?
[HTC One X] Shan89:
Who knows lol , maybe. This is much of a hardware bug along with software hox who has quad core laggs like sh1t imagine some slower phone it could even die or something.
[HTC One X] Zipperface:
Just tried it & WOW! what a great find..

Thanks Shan89 for the brilliant info.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
i just dont get it, i keep looking at my photo and i am speechless how the hell did it manage to capture so much light in the background, the tree and skies, this was the exact sky color

makes no sense :rolleyes:

one thing for sure HDR is beastly on the One X, its worth the asking price alone
[HTC One X] Shan89:
Np :thumbup:

Yeah lol , funny thing is we can't see literally even half of what his sees.
[HTC One X] Shan89:
Btw check this now with 10 sec of editing.
[HTC One X] scarface.717:

[HTC One X] mitchy1690:
Pics look great, this is a very nice bug/glitch/trick :)
[HTC One X] Shan89:
Those look awesome :good:
[HTC One X] fizzlington:
I'm assuming the phone is reporting the wrong values for shutter speed and is actually taking photos at a slower shutter speed than what is recorded.

For example, in the first shots of the outdoor test, the two photos side by side show a constant shutter speed (1/14) and ISO (1250). The difference between the photos is said to be only with the addition of the flash. It is impossible for the flash of the HOX to illuminate the far building (the wall is understandable).

Now with photography, apart from ISO and shutter speed, the only other variable affecting exposure is aperture, which I'm assuming is fixed at f/2.0.

Therefore, the only possible ways for the first two photos to differ is a higher ISO (which I don't think is possible with this phone), or a longer shutter speed. What are everybody else's thoughts in relation to the first two outdoor shots.
[HTC One X] oRmA2:
Thanks A LOT !

Who would have thought that the HOX has so much capabilities !

Thanks again !
[HTC One X] Shan89:
Np mate :thumbup:
[HTC One X] Vcek:
So is there a difference between using this bug and normal hdr mode?
[HTC One X] Shan89:
Yeah there is , this bug gathers 200/300% more light since it uses night scene + hdr at same time + flash. One thing six tho , you gotta be very still or place the phone on some surface since it blurs pics easy with small movement.
[HTC One X] Ambious:
Does this have anything to do with my camera constantly losing and regaining focus while in Video recording mode?
[HTC One X] Shan89:
Nahh , every hox camera does that if you move it , if it's standing still it'll keep focus. HoX isn't really good regarding video recording.
[HTC One X] alvtminghui:
I'm on 3.20.401.3 base with ViperX 3.7.0 & I can confirm this still works ;)
[HTC One X] Shan89:
Of course it works :P

Hahha was just saying. Thought this 'bug' would have been patched in the latest base
[HTC One X] terrorblade23:

[HTC One X] terrorblade23:
pfff...there is something that i can do to reduce that noise efect? :(( with your trick my low light photos look great but have a lot of noise efect..

Thanks again for the bug !
[HTC One X] skynet77:
No it doesn't work in Sense 5 anymore :(

Camera app is different, now Night mode is in main menu along with HDR, so you can't select both :(
[HTC One X] oRmA2:
I installed the this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2339226

[HTC One X] skynet77:
Ok if you install thatmod with old camera.apk, it will work, but trough that old camera.apk :)
[HTC One X] Tigerlight:
Neither of the Sense 5 camera mods in the post contain the old Sense 4+ camera.

Installing any of the older Sense 4+ variations of the mods in a Sense 5 ROM MAY completely break all camera functions.

And this bug/trick is no longer present in the Sense 5 camera.
[HTC One X] el-beast:
thank you shan for these tips :D
[HTC One X] limzm:
This trick is still present in Sense 5. Maybe you guys didn't try hard enough.
[HTC One X] skynet77:
Maybe we didn't :) Can you describe how to use it in Sense 5 camera please?
[HTC One X] limzm:
Ok I am on Maximus HD with only the Zero Compression hack applied.

What I did was open the camera app, change to night mode then select HDR, and then take a picture.

It may not work on first try so if it doesnt switch from HDR to night and back again.

The viewfinder actually take effect if the trick worked.

:)
[HTC One X] skynet77:
So you have only the Zero Compression driver installed and you're using default camera app right?

I've tried with default camera app only and it doesn't work, because when you turn on HDR, Night mode is turned off.. both options are on main menu now and are selected by radio buttons
[HTC One X] limzm:
Yep, I am using stock camera app.

And yes, you will select night then HDR. I know the radio will be selected as HDR but the settings will be on top of night mode.

I just attached a picture to show it works.
[HTC One X] skynet77:
Thanks, I'll try.

btw nice shoot :)
[HTC One X] limzm:
Thanks! Hope it works for you!
[HTC One X] tessut:
for sense 5 camera trick you just have to repeat that 2-3 in a row and let it auto enhance

Np mate , btw I'm glad this works for you guys on sense 5 , we don't have this bug on the One , tho it's not needed anyway.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ascertion:
First of all, I'm not completely sure what's changed in transition to 4.1.2 to 4.2+, but LTE, while coverage is roughly the same, pulls nearly ~60% of the speeds available.

It's not just Touchwiz vs aosp, either. I have flashed Cm10 based on aosp 4.1.2 and have been able to pull more than 30mpbs on LTE. I know this is possible on cm10.1, but you'd have to be in the perfectly ideal location.

I've compared APN settings and even flashed the cm10 APN settings onto cm10.1. No dice. I want to see what others think the issue is.

What has changed in the RIL and is it possible to copy it over from 4.1.2 into 4.2.2?

Possibly posting a radio log from Cm10 and Cm10.1. I'll try the IRC later and see if I can get Detule or Noobnl to look into it.

If you don't want to pay for a music player like PowerAmp you should try n7player which has equalizer settings like PowerAmp and it has a very nice UI.

[HTC One X+] Shan89:
Hey guys i found this bug on HTC One X , not sure will it work for HoX + , anyway it should , same camera sensor etc. Give it a try :)

Hey guys this is HTC One X GREAT camera BUG i found recently.​

PICTURE SAMPLES AT THE BOTTOM​

Credits:

Ok so anyway i found this bug when i was compering S3 vs HoX in deep , for those who missed it you can find it here

As for the bug with camera :

1st how does this bug works:

Simply , it gets stuck between scenes which i found accidentally while comparing HoX Vs My cousins s3 lol.

Anyway to be more specific it uses 2 scenes at the same time which provides great photos @ night , probably best 2012 phone @ day and Night INDEED is HOX. and i'll dare to say it comes close to HTC One with this Bug.

Important:

this bug works ONLY with SENSE ( maybe miue roms as well ) and i found this bug on 3.18 base ( also working with 3.19 base ) for those still on ICS idk would it work there or at lower bases probably does.

How to use this BUG/GLITCH:

Outdoors night photos

> Take a photo

This bug will add you an extra 100-300% more light to your photos. For even MORE light i'd say 50/100% more light do this:

After taking the photo , go to gallery>edit and AUTO ENCHANT it.

NOTE:

After this if you see boost in your display regarding brightness = bug is applied. Take a pic but be VERY VERY STEADY , even little movement will f@ck up the photo.

NOTE:

If you don't see improvement from the start you gotta REPEAT the process , sometimes it takes more then 1 time to get this bug working.

Also you must notice this: When you apply NIGHT scene you should see CAMERA being LAGGY when moving , after switching to HDR if it stays laggy and gives more light = bug is working 100%

For indoor photos with bug

> Turn ON flash ( not auto but ON )

> Chose NIGHT scene

> Chose HDR mode [/QUOTE]

> Take a photo

NOTE:

If you're using Underclocked CPU i'd suggest you use minimum 1300mhz quad core, with less speed shutter isn't fast enough to catch the light with HDR

BUG with FLASH - 50%-150% more light then normal flash light photos:

Ok this bug works similar as first one.

> Open camera

> Turn ON flash

> Chose NIGHT scene

> Switch to BACKLIGHT scene [/QUOTE]

> Take a photo

Note:

When you switch to NIGHT mode you should see your camera being LAGGY , after switching to BACKLIGHT scene if your camera stays laggy = bug is working.

TIPS:​

IMPORTANT

Q) Will this bug crash/kill my camera ?

A) I don't know , i've been using it for over 2 weeks now everything is working as it should.

If you guys gonna use this BUG would be nice if you could upload some samples as well :thumbup:

So NOTE if you gonna use this bug you use it at your OWN RISK so don't blame me if you f@ck up your camera.

Thx to Hamdir for testing my bug and providing us professional comparison.

Also thx to neuTrue for enchanting one of my photos to show us what we can do with some more software :)

Np mate, hope it works for you guys as well :good:
[HTC One X+] steve1996:
As I've said a long time ago, it doesn't work on the HOX+, it becomes darker when switching from night to hdr, so the bug doesn't work. Pictures taken with night mode is brighter than the hdr switched from night mode. Maybe someone else can try it

Edit: wait, I think I got it working :p

Edit 2: dang it, only worked once and not anymore... Tried like 10 times and can't make it work. It's so much easier on the HOX

Edit 3: looks like it's only a matter of luck... Got it working for a few more times
