[HTC One V] TheEndHK:
yup, lower the JPG compression rate not only makes the photo sharper and perserve better colour. HTC JPG(and H264) algorithm is bad, it does improved in sense JB but we don't have it.

I remember I had tested RC3.5 + modded KISS + stock cam + media_profiles.xml(95.99 JPEG) but not for long, only tested it for one to two hours. I think there is no wash-out bugs at indoor(not exactly sure but it seems no) but image and colour no good. Pretty much remain as the old and original HTC 4.0.3 style.

The answer is no. Modify the media_profiles.xml to get control the JPEG quality is a general method on android, it's not a magic. There is media_profiles.xml on Samsung or even N4. The only problem on One V sense camera is limited to JPEG 95.99%(but I think it might be ignored the .99 and read it as 95).

You did something wrong. If you replace the media_profiles.xml with root explorer, you will need to set the permission and reboot. If you do it via adb push in recovery, please remember to enable system mount before mount otherwise the command prompt will tell you successfully copied the file but actually not.

Yesterady, I switched to this TITANIUM KERNEL(GSM only) and it doesn't has wifi issue with RC3.5. The kernel supports overclocking(I clocked to 1.5G) and smartassv2 but the development is discontinued and this kernel speed isn't fast, sometimes it will lag. However, the battery life is good, not bad. It doesn't has wash-out bugs at indoor and I think the brightness/exposure is even a bit better than MCR kernel.

For the video part, I suggest to use Camera JB+ now(you can use it on ICS, not really need a JB rom), it does has the fastest software focus I've ever used. Default is 12Mbit 720p and quality is good, remember to set the storage to internal because it is bugged when you set it as sdcard it will save the file to internal memory, verse vica. If you want more control and settings try Snap Camera but the focus is not as good as Camera JB+.
[HTC One V] theiNDrAs:
right now i change & replace with your media_profiles.xml & camera.apk that you attached in your previous post, without changing the kernel, is that enough?

will it have the same result if i just change & replace media_profiles.xml, without replacing with your camera.apk?

because one thing that i don't like replacing with your camera.apk is because it is also installed mirror apps; and it's useless on One V, since it has no front camera :p

and i should change the permission for both files to -rw-r--r--, right?
[HTC One V] TheEndHK:
Well, I've to say it again. Different mix. of kernel+rom+camera.apk will not get same result. They all have jobs to do individually for the camera.

It's impossible for me to test all kernels/roms/camera.apk out there. Just make sure don't flash Titanium-KISS when you use this camera.apk on RC3.5 or RC9.5FX+ or else you would meet the wash-out colour bugs at indoor sometimes.

You won't get the best result if you don't use my camera.apk(though the major part of quality bases on kernel cam driver and rom based, camera.apk is only on an assistant role). I've to say it again, it's just a stock apk from the lastest build of sense4.1 4.0.4 on One X/S. The camera.apk you guys using is probably an old camera.apk.

It's safe to use my camera.apk and it is ridiculous to say minor apps installed because the stock camera.apk highly possible got front cam installed too, I beat if you put it(One V original camera.apk) on One X/S the front cam function will turn on. HTC won't have time to write three camera apps for One X/S/V they got the same camera other than One V CMOS is only 5M pixel and no front cam. HTC will only write one camera.apk and asks it to detect model. When I use my camera.apk on One V, I found the front cam option is hidden automatically and the 8M option is hidden as well. Actually, when you edit the stock media_profiles.xml from One V, you see HTC left the front cam settings in it too. There is cameraId="0" and cameraId="1" and they are meant to be main camera and front camera. The stock media_profiles.xml should be a direct copy from One X, I'm sure we all know HTC is a lazy pig.

You need to change the permission for both files when you use root explorer. You don't need only if you do it via adb push in recovery.

I decided to stick with TITANIUM KERNEL though the kernel isn't fast/smooth(not good for gaming) and discontinued but I like the photo/video from it generally more bright while MCR/Kiss-mod/Stock is a bit dark. It is just a matter of taste.
[HTC One V] theiNDrAs:
One more question, how to remove or exclude Mirror app when installing your camera.apk?
[HTC One V] TheEndHK:
Mirror is a HTC official app found on One X(EVO 4G)/S, so you don't need to worry, it isn't a virus. It's a small toy app for front cam and built inside the source code of camera.apk, so you just can't use any app remover or root explorer to remove it. Just leave it alone and you are good to go.
[HTC One V] lddangsta:
I changed from ImageEncoding quality (9080|70|60|50|40) to ImageEncoding quality (95.99|80|70|60|50|40)

and

from <ImageEncoding quality="90" />

<ImageEncoding quality="80" />

<ImageEncoding quality="70" />

<ImageDecoding memCap="20000000" />

to <ImageEncoding quality="95.99" />

<ImageEncoding quality="95.99" />

<ImageEncoding quality="95.99" />

<ImageDecoding memCap="40000000" />

...am I doing it right?
[HTC One V] TheEndHK:
Yes, you did it right. But remember there are two places(camera id0 and camera id1) of ImageEncoding quality and memCap, change both of em.

i change all to 99% and camera is work good. my phone is galaxy core prime G361H with android 5.1.1

thanks:good::o
[HTC One V] TheEndHK:
Your phone got SD410 with 1GB ram sure no problem. One V only single core and 512MB ram. But many recent phones can't just change the media_profiles.xml bcoz they hard coded in camera.apk or system lib files like my S6 and Z5c.

here is a kernel i compiled from source, the only edits to it so far are in the ramdisk. this is all beta stuff and not taken from sprint source.

here is the download link

http://www.shabbypenguin.com/OUDstu...l/TW/Beta/Shabby-Kernel-0.0.2-Beta-spr-TW.zip

boot into recovery

DO A NANDROID!

wipe dalvik/cache

flash kernel

reboot

enjoy

0.0.2

init.d

removed logmein service (binaries are still in /system/bin)

next version will have bootanimation support, promise :P

0.0.1 features:

source built baby!

Source: Opensource.samsung.com

edit: drat seems we have 2 bugs adb isnt running as root (stupid samsung) and teh kernel version isnt displaying properly
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shabbypenguin:
and maybe ill make this one a how to

already talked with agat on how i make source cry like a baby he is pumped now that his kernels have working wifi/calls/data :P

Shabby, i have missed you. Thanks for this. Quick question. Do you have any idea how to remove the vibrate when the phone first starts? I like to restart my phone while i am sleeping and it keeps waking me up. not sure if it is the kernal, rom, or the phone itself. Thanks again!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
would it be possible to get the frandom module included in this kernel? aka frandom.ko ? here is a link to the tarball. :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shabbypenguin:
thats entirely up to supercurio, i dont think he does that work anymore since the teamhacksung incident

that is prolly a binary somewhere testing the motor, i can take a look but i doubt it with my timeframe

im adding bootanimation support and making the guide on how to compile and leaving it for the fine people of this forum to work on. sorry but digging through hundreds of thousands of line of code to try and find one modules source in a tar is not fun (its why i believe xda should enfore github like source).

once i have those two things up im hoping people who have the sgs4 will step forward and take over development :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
it's cool I actually have the module compiled. I'll just insmod it. :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] zedomax:

[One (M7) General] eyecon82:
This is how my friends Black htc one looks after throwing it in and out of her purse (with keys and other obvious hazards in a separate area) after 5 days.

It's just like iPhone 5's scuffgate
[One (M7) General] kitch9:
Facepalm.gif....
[One (M7) General] eyecon82:
Why? All hazards like loose change and keys are kept in a separate side compartment.

There's not much in the purse pocket it goes into besides leather wallet, and some lipstick which has a plastic exterior
[One (M7) General] h.han:
My black One is still in great condition only two very very little marks at the top edge, barely noticeable and easily covered by using a black marker. I don't baby my phone anymore as I did in the first few days, but I don't deliberately risk scratching it by sharing the same pocket with other hard object either.

I know it will stand my daily use well without needing a case.
[One (M7) General] eyecon82:
sometimes i really wonder about the intelligence level of some XDA users:confused:
[One (M7) General] jonstatt:
Actually there are some reviews of early iPhone 5s in black where apparently the surface was so fragile you could write your name in the black surface on the back using a fingernail! I think the One doesn't suffer quite at that level, but it will chip. Still, any phone thrown in a bag with all sorts of bits and pieces is asking for trouble if you are expecting to remove it still in pristine condition!
[One (M7) General] KillaHurtz:
The One S had similar issues with the ARC finish if I recall correctly.
[One (M7) General] expertzero1:
Those are chips. So throwing a phone in a bag/purse cannot cause that. Has to hit the ground or she dropped it and didn't know or something.
[One (M7) General] jotha:
Thread cleaned

Do you really think it is neccessary to use abusive language on a tech forum and do you think we lett it pass?
[One (M7) General] h.han:
The htc One does not have MAO coating as seen on htc one s, it's only anodized silver.So it does not have the same chipping issue but because silver is soft, hitting on hard object will still leave a mark.

Yes, agree, my wife is like the op lady who doesn't really look after her phone well, she drops it, throws it, forgets where she left it all the time, they are just normal people using their phone. We all know putting One with coins, keys will damage it, and I think that will be all.

However, like I did to my wife's phone, I would suggest simply getting a good tpu case, then you are good to abuse the phone.
[One (M7) General] BenPope:
I think you'll find it's made of an anodised aluminium alloy, not silver, and is harder than silver.
[One (M7) General] NZtechfreak:
I think there is little doubt at this point that the black finish isn't as well suited to standing up to the rigours of daily as the silver version. Paul Obrien's black one got scuffed up without being dropped on hard surfaces quite quickly, and lord knows I will trust his experience more than most of the forumers here.
[One (M7) General] h.han:
Oh, my bad, I meant aluminum, which, is silver colour, of course not silver the metal it would be too expensive :)
[One (M7) General] mwatson:
This is why I went for silver. You could see this coming a mile off
[One (M7) General] h.han:
Well, I wouldn't just conclude on that, because as a black One owner, my One is holding up quite well, and as I said, I don't baby my phone anymore, but will still take good care of it.

I think it's in the end down to personal preference, one thing we cannot argue is that aluminum is soft and it will get marks if you don't look after it, see iPhone 5 as a living example, so when it gets scratched, the underlying silver colour will be more noticeable on black phone than on a silver phone, so black owners naturally take the risk. However, a simple permanent black marker will do a perfect job of covering those marks.

Both silver and black share the same coating, anodized aluminum, so in terms of vulnerability of scratching, they are the same, only difference is noticeability (is it a word? Well you get my point.)

---------- Post added at 12:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:57 AM ----------

I am correcting myself here, in terms of the back of the phone, both black and silver have anodized aluminum but the chambered edge does not. It may just be painted in black on black One and exposed natural silver on silver One. So yes, the chambered edge if scratched on black One may look nasty. But again, only if you don't take good care of your phone.

Is it just me or does that look like a black HTC One dummy unit and not a real phone? The black dummy units don't have actual holes cut for the speaker grills, just little faded paint dots, which is what that looks like. I would think the speaker holes would look a lot darker in the pictures if they were actually holes. The dummy units have way crappier build quality so that would totally invalidate the findings.

What kind of toaster was used to take these incredible pictures?! :laugh:

Short story time: I had the iPhone 5 since launch day. Never once had a case on it and never set it on anything hard, ever. Dropped it only one time from about 1ft onto a hard surface. The phone only has that one

tiny

little scratch on the chamferred edge. It obviously shows through as silver.

Moral of the story, that tiny little scratch

drove me insane

!! It's all I ever saw when I looked at that beautiful device. I opted for a silver One for that reason. And because I thought I'd think outside of the box for once since all my devices have always been black - I really missed the raw aluminum since the days of the iPhone 2G.

Pictures are grainy because they were taken with a sgs3 in a very low light situation. The scuffs wouldn't show with the flash so I had to use night mode and zoom in all the way. That was the best I could get it focused. It was done during a double dinner date
[One (M7) General] shiningarmor:

[One (M7) General] jcracken:
So by that logic, if I drive a Ford Fiesta on a barely used dirt road in a forest and I feel any bumps it has terrible suspension?

He/she zoomed in on a low light photo. The One X would have a similar result, and even the One wouldn't give off that good of a photo.
[One (M7) General] CocheseUGA:

___________________________________________

On another note, I don't know why people become so defensive and try to find excuses for obvious defects in the phone

My sgs4 has many issues as well. Heck, my first unit had air bubbles in the black bezel area in the front under the glass.

The sgs3 was notorious for having cracked bezels due to cheap plastic molding, etc.

No phone is perfect and I take pity on those who try to bash those for pointing them out.

Remember guys, htc one or sgs4, we are on the same side

[One (M7) General] drspikes:
Can someone check the exif data but I'm happy to say OP is lying currently. There's absolutely no depth to that speaker grill. Painted on.
[One (M7) General] h.han:
I personally don't think we are being defensive, there are number of people who actually quite agree that the black One won't hold up well against daily use.

I am not one of them, but that does not because I am a HTC fanboy or something, simply because I own the black One and it's in very good condition so I was just sharing my opinion. I believe most of us are just sharing, not defending anything.

However, one thing as I said before is certain, aluminum is soft and will get scratched, especially when it is put with other hard objects together. As you described in op, your phone was scratched exactly because of that.

I wouldn't say it's a defect because you cannot expect an aluminum phone to keep brand new no mark at all in such circumstances.

There are many real defects on HTC One, such as dust under the screen, light leaks, or probably the gap and overhang (depend on how you see gap and overhang, I personally don't think they are defects but that's not the point), and if you go to those threads talking about them, no one defends HTC, and we all critics.

So, I say, thank you for sharing the photos, at least you showed people what would be like when treating the One like old indestructible Nokia, and I believe we all appreciate that.

Regarding people saying the photos are fake, just simply take another one when the lighting condition is good and prove yourself. You will always hear different voice on forums and that's exactly why we are all here, we want those differences to make our view comprehensive.
[One (M7) General] sophos9:
My black HTC One is holding up great, I do not see any issues with the finish - I do not use a case or any of that stuff. Why buy a phone that looks great only to stick it inside a case? Its like anything, if you throw a macbook in your handbag with hard objects, its going to get beat up - simple as that.

There are no problems with the finish on the black at all, infact I would say its harder wearing than my ip5
[One (M7) General] h.han:
Yes, I actually compared my black One with colleague's black iPhone 5, although he had it longer than I have my One, we all treat our phone well. His is already showing quite a lot marks on the chamfered edge and mine only has two very very tiny mark at the top, much less noticeable than his.

And we heard cases where black iPhone 5 chipped just out of the box. I think HTC this time learnt from last year's HTC One s and iPhone 5 so the black is better quality.

However this is not a scientific comparison and we only see a few reports of condition of black One, really hard to say anything certain. But I am happy.

[One (M7) General] h.han:
I am not using case but I do have two cases, one nillkin black hard case, and one diztronic tpu black case. Really like the diztronic one, perfect fit and protects all corners. They are stand by in case I am travelling and cannot take good care of my black One.

If you want both speaker areas to be covered, maybe the double dip case? Or a flip one or pouch.
[One (M7) General] vinuneuro:
I was looking at the Diztronic case. Should I be concerned about the speaker areas with that one? The main risky situation maybe is the phone ending up in the same pocket as keys.

[One (M7) General] berrywr:
I can't remember where I saw information about the black "One". It did say that the black paint is sprayed directly the aluminum body and would be more prone to scratches than the naked version. I bought a case for my wife's "One"..a baby pink "checkbook" style case that the phone sits in and a fold over front lid...the inside having a place to put a credit card, but she leaves it blank. I'm still awaiting the screen protectors to come in...but I'm not spending $654.99 on a phone only for it to be on the short end of the adventures in my wife's purse. I slapped a Case-Mate on my Titans and Body Gloves on my HD2 and TP2 and my TP2s are bullet proof with that stuff on them. Maybe it's me, but why in the world would you invest this kind of money on a device and not protect it from everyday wear & tear?
