1.02 aroma installer works for me. Timed it with a stopwatch and it seems to expose the image for 9 seconds too. :) I've flashed the 240mhz clock mod earlier fyi, don't know if that's being replaced?

Add the installer to OP :) But I'd suggest that you remove the "Installing ElementalX"-string ;)

[One (M9) General] jsaxon2:
Thanks,

Yes I used the elementalx installer as a base for this. Thought I removed them all, but good find. I changed that now here is 1.03. And yes, it is the 240mhz file from defcomg that is in the aroma.

I forget, do we want EIS on or off?
[One (M9) General] ivicask:
My question is, does disabling EIS also disables it for video recording?Because i dont want shaky videos..
[One (M9) General] hamdir:
i have been inspecting the A9 smaples from over here:

http://www.mobile01.com/newsdetail.php?id=17537

and you can see how its similar to our luma trick, ie: not killing detail for sake of denoise
[One (M9) General] jsaxon2:
It is up to you. hamdir prefers to keep EIS off, but your results may vary. Just try it each way and see what works best for you.

From hamdir: this one is up to your taste: (motion blur vs weird ghosting) http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63316036&postcount=96
[One (M9) General] OGhoul:
Thanks. I was just trying to track down why there seems to be extra noise now after trying out the Aroma installer. Not blaming it, it's just around the same time I started noticing it.
[One (M9) General] jsaxon2:
Before the Aroma installer, did you use the software denoise build.prop edits? If so, did you remove those edits when you tried the hardware denoise zip from the OP? The aroma installer will remove those entries from the build.prop if you choose the hardware denoise. If you did not remove the lines from the build.prop after you installed the hardware zip from OP, then you would have still been on the software denoise. Don't know if this was the situation, just trying to help figure out what you might be seeing.
[One (M9) General] OGhoul:
I did not (originally) remove them before flashing the Aroma installer. I have since reflashed my rom, as well as flashing an updated version of my rom.

In my build.prop, the lines I typically added seem to be gone. Since I disabled EIS, the EIS = 0 line is in there. I did however notice these lines a few up from the bottom, that I think I remember being discussed in this thread?

Line 426: persist.camera.antibanding=50

EDIT: Some of the features aren't working, my guess is due to missing libs

Andtibanding reduces moving lines when you point your camera on tv or monitor. Dont exactly remember the other line.
[One (M9) General] OGhoul:
Thanks. It's very possible that some of those may be due to mike1986's optimizations for ARHD; I did see lines commenting as such.

Man, I have a question and i have looked into your instagram....

How do you make such wonderfull pictures??? Im crazy now, cannot bear it!

Would you be able to so kindly give us some camera recommendations like cmera settings for daylight (HW Denoise mod), camera night (Long exposure, specially this mode since i do not have so much practice im so noob with "le mode") settings and any other to also be able to place pictures like yours?' =D

Maybe how to best set Auto Mode for daylight, and Manual Mode for Night/HDR... I mean after seeing your work im pretty amazed!

Hopefully you could answer to my pledges!

Have a nice day bro...alwas! =D

---------- Post added at 08:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:47 AM ----------

I did, but i didnt find any settings that really worked for me, ill give it a second chance and check what could be ported to these current mods.
[One (M9) General] All4TheFam:
I have read this entire thread, and can't find if anyone has tested this on Verizon m9 2.6.605.15 base?
[One (M9) General] m4jkee:
HAHA thanx mate :))

Its not so big science :)

Most of pictures on my instagram are edited RAW formats. I use RAW a quiet often. I dont use any special settings for auto or hdr. I use photoshopexpress from google play :D All I do in camera app is trying to keep ISO at the lowest point. In RAW camera I usualy use ISO 100.

About long exposure: I love long exposure for night photos. Point of long exposure is, that longer it last, the brighter it is. Great for night shots, but I recomend to use tripod. It takes a few pictures to balance shutterspeed with ISO, but point is still the same. lowering the iso to minimum.

Adobe Photoshop Express: I find .DNG file of my photo in ES file explorer and simply click on it. It opens in photoshop express and here comes the paradise. My favorite correction is called "shadows" because it brighten dark places and cause a little HDR effect. All others are just things of taste :) Try it. I bet you`ll be able to get create some nice photos too :))
[One (M9) General] LLegion:
Thanks bro! Outstanding attitude, just one last thing, any special recommendations like settings (whatever few you may use) to use with RAW format, i mean, exactly which settings do you have in all the entire camera app before shooting RAW and the editing on PSE? could you give us some tips, like an example step by step with a photo you maytae in the future, like a minor tutorial on how to get the pictures as you do....for all the community =D

Poseidon used to be said the God of Art too!, you are him bro!

[One (M9) General] l7777:
I am using it, it works.
[One (M9) General] m4jkee:
[MENTION=5024297]LLegion[/MENTION]

haha :D Ok, here are few tips :

In camera:

I always use max resolution on 10:7 ratio.

In RAW mode, I use to shot "long" distance object. So I often set focus to maximum distance. This help camera not to AF and takes shots imidietly.

I set ISO to 100

White balance keep on Auto. (you can edit it later in PS Xpress :P )

In daylight keep shutter speed on auto

In night or lowlight set it manualy. I may take a few shots, to get the right LE time :) but dont forget to place your phone somewhere still. Best option is tripod :)

In PS Express:

I paid for advance pack to get corrections like reduce noise and defog.

First of all, I decide what I want to show to people. Since we have 20Mpix, we can crop image to point to thing we want to show. So first I crop.

When there is some dark place I wanna show, I use "shadow" correction to bring them to light :)

Then I use clarity to bring some contrast and color, or to make image look like "dream" :) Sometimes more, sometimes less.

When I wanna show more sharp detail, I use sharpness.

With sharpness come a bit noise. We can reduce it, but I never used it in full option. Mostly about 40 or 50.

When there are a really light points in photo, that covers some details, I reduce "highlights". Sometime it needs to be optimised with "exposure" which affect "shadows" so it need to be corrected as well.

Finally there is white balance. We can correct it with "temperature". This is good feature for night shots, because WB from camera at night isnt so accurate.

"vibrance" is for color. I dont use it so much. I dont use "tint" so much either, but i am sure, there can me made some nice shots with it.

I am about upload my whole "photoshop express" album to flicker, so I post linke here for you to have a look. Some are made from raws, some not. You will see it in details, because I quiet like noisy output from raw file :)

Hope this make it clearer :) You definitely should try it yourself ;)

What version of mod are you using? separate flashable zips from old OP, or you flashed the one from via aroma instaler? I would like to add this information into OP.
[One (M9) General] l7777:
Manually replaced the four libs and disabled eis. I've been using it since the edited libs were posted.
[One (M9) General] sidjohn:
I am using on Verizon also currently running Adrenaline 2.3. Used Aroma installer for Camera Mod (HTCOneM9_CameraMods_v1.03 from OP)

Fairly noob and haven't tested enough to tell 100% what is or isn't working, but I am happy with test shots (iso capped at 400, 10:7 Medium, sharpness -1)

And I do get 9 second shutter. Took +/- 10 test shots each at 6s though 9s with no issues other than a couple FC on 9s (raw, iso capped 100, everything else auto)

[One (M9) General] All4TheFam:
Waited till I got home from work, ya know, jus in case. Works flawless, pictures are clearer, and the long exposure is going to be fun to play with. I have taken 15+ long exposure since I flashed MOD, ranging from 2 seconds up to 9 (mostly 7+) and not a single force close. Living next to a highway across from a train yard should yield some pretty wild shots. So another Verizon M9 on 2.6.605.15 running [MENTION=2586080]andybones[/MENTION] stock deodexed confirmed working.

[MENTION=2401586]jsaxon2[/MENTION] here is a message for you from someone who tried the mod :)

are we sure that the build.prop is getting cleaned properly, reminder: if persist.camera.snap.format=1 and maybe persist.camera.snap.format=0 are added to build.prop it will screw up the whole thing

---------- Post added at 10:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 AM ----------

i keep refreshing this thread waiting for a new mod from you :)
[One (M9) General] jsaxon2:
The script was removing the following:

persist.camera.snap.format

persist.camera.qcwnr.enabled

I have made a change so we always remove the following first:

persist.denoise.process.plates

persist.camera.snap.format

persist.camera.qcwnr.enabled

camera.eis.enable

If you select to disable EIS, we add camera.eis.enable=0

If you select SW Denoise, we copy stock library files and add

persist.camera.qcwnr.enabled=0

That is all I am aware of. If there is anything else, please let me know. :)

[One (M9) General] Mostafa Wael:
Okay, i decided to have the guts to flash the latest 1.04 aroma installer

well it flashed everything properly (i chose the default settings "HW denoise mod + EIS=on + 9 sec exposure)

previously i used to flash the normal zip posted earlier before the AROMA

Anyway, i wanted to report that the 9 sec setting force closes the camera app and does not save the picture

8 sec works good with accurate time (tested with a stopwatch)

HW denoise is applied correctly

Thank You!
[One (M9) General] Jbb3393:
Hey everybody! This isn't necessarily a question for this thread so I apologize but since I see there is a lot of people here with a lot of camera info I thought I'd give it a go. So I am on the M8 and the camera used to be able to have the Crop-me-in mode via a simple "true" in default.xml or as its called in there human_joint. Since the update to Android 5 it doesn't seem to work anymore and I really miss it.

Anyone have any input? Thanks

If it is what I think you mean then, yes its in the menus. In camera tap the four dots in the corner to select which camera you want then tap the "Add" button and one of the presets is called Split Capture. Give that a go.

You got mine htc camera and gallery flashable pack on first page of camera bounty thread, but note that raw doesn't work with it on AOSP roms ..
[One (M9) General] killeeeeer:
I wanted the stock HTC camera because I thought I will have control over the manual settings like ISO. It turns out you can't change that with your ported one. Is there other way to have manual control over the camera on AOSP ROM because the iso is too high on the normal camera, or is that limited to the ROM it self?
[One (M9) General] ivicask:
Well, i did my best to fix what i can, personally i hate AOSP roms and i miss too many features from Sense roms, camera is one of them :p
[One (M9) General] defcomg:
are you able to access these camera keys from the parameters

focus
wb-ct
shutter
iso-st
[One (M9) General] killeeeeer:
I see, well thanks anyway. I think I'm gonna go back to stock for now and see how things turn out
[One (M9) General] ivicask:
I didint check that, i forgot about manual mode i was thinking it would work. Not sure why even RAW crashes, logcat is very weird and cant figure it, HTC camera it self is unmodified, except i forced on some flags like RAW to show up in the menu.

It may miss something more from framework or even stock HTC kernel, but also i wouldn't be surprised its some kind of HTCs protection and thats why RAW doesnt work.

Your a very smart guy, you can check for your self if you can maybe do something about it for AOSP users.

Here is my flashable pack for any AOSP rom.

[One (M9) General] defcomg:
raw requires this key dng-raw and RawPictureCallback that's what htc uses to move both jpeg and dng data at the same time not sure what params are accessible in cm rom but maybe a crashlog for raw capture will telll more .
[One (M9) General] Ecsport108:
So to get this straight, this mod is not fully functional as of now on AOSP roms (Candy5)?
[One (M9) General] ivicask:
With or without this mod raw and manual mode are broken anyways on aosp roms.

Better results with our without eis?
[One (M9) General] iggdawg:
Both have their plusses and minuses. With EIS you get ghosting, without it you get blur. It all boils down to personal preference Take a few similar shots with each, moving around in a similar way at the same target. See which results you prefer. Testing both should only take 15 mins for several shots including reloads.

If one was clearly superior to the other in every way, they probably wouldn't bother giving the option.

Could you give some tips regarding this? thanks a lot in advanced pal! =D nice start of week!!
[One (M9) General] iggdawg:
I'm curious if disabling EIS impacts video stability in a meaningful way? I searched, and I've seen it asked a couple times but no answers yet. I suppose I can test and find out on my own, but I figured I'd throw this out there and see if it got any bites in the mean time.
[One (M9) General] defcomg:
Only way to find out is to test it lol.

How to test EIS

1. Buy a trampoline

2.Disable EIS

3.Hold the phone as steady as you can

4.Jump up and down

repeat with eis on or just shake it side to side https://youtu.be/JkQmVtH0txQ?t=4m51s and compare videos:silly:
[One (M9) General] iggdawg:

Not before we get MM and see what HTC changed

For now the HW mod is the best we can do with what we have for auto, we still don't have a way to match the quality coming out of RAW and PSX which is a big shame

Finding the best balance in denoise value is hard work especially it requires hex editing, a skill I don't have plus defcomg doesn't have an M9 to test, its best to wait for the new chromatix files anyway as the MM update is imminent

[One (M9) General] ziaulh.ch:
Hello. Thanks for this mod. I tried the shutter functions with a tripod and it works OK.

I was wondering if its possible to add ISO 100 in normal mode. The grain it adds are waste. It kinda destroys the low light shots for over lighting. I rather use EV value to increase light and hold camera still rather than ISO.

TIA.
[One (M9) General] hamdir:
there is no way around it, it's hard to optimize the denoise in hex editing, the expert who did this doesnt even own an M9 we just collaborated from far but the massive gains in daylight justify the cost in noise, even in low light just cap the ISO, you can use also use manual mode with all the sliders on auto except ISO at 100 which will give you want you want ;)

the HTC One A9 being so praised by the press has an actually similar image quality at 100% to our denoise mod, HTC reduced their denoise in favor of more detail, rightfully so, regardless there is nothing you can do here as both the M9 and A9 sensors has a 1.1um pixel with terrible SNR in less than ideal light

so your choices are limited this year, either to buy a bigger pixel flagship like the OP2 or 6P or wait for next year where the s820 is promising better HW denoise thanks to temporal analysis (lets hope tit lives up the hype)
[One (M9) General] LLegion:
next yer ill go for next nexus or lg
[One (M9) General] hamdir:
