[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tgeza:
Ah yes, i just researched the /sys/ folder after my post and found that it's actually generated by the kernel - it's dumping driver and other files there that apps can read, in this case the awb calibration.

Now the 'best' part - it does this dump every once in a while, so even if we get a correct awb_cal file it will overwrite it with these dumps i think. My awb_cal for example was created yesterday. It should still work though, even for a while.

I already posted a request to the m8 forum for someone to share this thing, lets hope for a reply.

You need root access, then in ES explorer tick root browser, then set permissions of /sys folder and the awb_cal file to write. After replacing force stop camera app, clear data, clear cache.

Note: after every reboot the awc_cal gets overwritten with the wrong one, so this has to be done after reboots!

**EDIT** (Add tutorials)

1.Download awb files from here : https://www.dropbox.com/s/glk7oa49m63005z/android_camera_awb_cal.zip

2.Use es explorer, press menu and scroll down and tick Root explorer

3. Backup Ur awb files at /sys/android_camera_awb_cal just in case

4. Extract the awb files u download and copy awb_cal only!

5. tick the file (awb_cal) in /sys/android_camera_awb_cal/ as permission read/write then its ok to rewrite, but need to replace everytime u reboot ! (Picture given)

6. Paste the m8 awb file with the green tint one and you're good to go ;)
