EASY METHOD

For NON-ROOT and ROOT users:

DON'T WORRY, this camera app will install as a seperate app so you will still have the original Motorola Camera app

Here is the camera app with unlocked hidden menu for non-root and root users: Motorola Camera v3.3.20.8 (unlocked hidden menu). Just install as normal apk. Thanks to [MENTION=5012959]jefish[/MENTION] for making this awesome Mod

How to access the hidden settings:

After you swipe out the settings wheel you will have a "Ladybug" icon in the lower right corner (Screenshots below at the end of this post). just press it enjoy the advanced settings for your Camera

Recommended Settings based on [MENTION=5257483]juanchotazo99[/MENTION] tests: Turn off Wavelet Noise, as it screws up your image quality. Morpho VNR seems to reduce noise in the cameras live view (not on the final image). QC Tintless seems to reduce the reddish tint on final images. So it is up to you if you want to set the last 2 options to on or off

ATTENTION: The Methods below are only necessary if you have ROOT and don't want to install the modded apk.

If you have the Play Store Version of the camera app, pls uninstall and flash one of these flashable zips through CWM Recovery. Thanks to [MENTION=1006674]lost101[/MENTION] for making these.

or

If you don't want to manually edit your build.prop, you can have a look at this Xposed Module which unlocks the hidden settings without editing anything. Thanks to [MENTION=4413273]S0bes[/MENTION] for his Xposed Module

Also, check out [MENTION=5257483]juanchotazo99[/MENTION] 's awesome camera test with this new settings in this post. this is also really helpful to understand where the photos get better quality.

Completely Manual Method

Here is the tutorial for those who want to get the hidden settings by manually editing the build.prop

Step 1

Make sure you device is rooted and download or use any File Explorer that has root access.

Step 2

navigate to: Root>System>build.prop

edit the build.prop file (MAKE A BACKUP FIRST) and search for this line:

ro.build.tags=release-keys

and change it to

ro.build.tags=test-keys

and save the file.

Step 3

Finally reboot your Device and you're done. :D

Now after you swipe out the settings wheel you will have a "Ladybug" icon in the lower right corner (pictures below). just press it enjoy the advanced settings for your Camera :victory:
