[MENTION=4321403]Kisakuku[/MENTION] stupid question, but ill ask. Is there a way to have write to external SD. I realize it is not stock to do that, and that you are the only the messenger, but do you know of a way, xml edit or such?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Nope. The developer of this port won't support other devices. And as it has been designed for a Xiaomi without external SD, there won't be any extSD support.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] TotallyAnxious:
Probably with permission/mounting tricks you could. I'd keep in mind hdr+ performance would probably suffer because of the slower read and write speeds.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] l4n6u573:
Well I think the remaining question here is how to get hdr+ working properly for the HTC 10. As far as I know the rear camera of this device is powered by an IMX377 sensor. It's the same sensor you will find in a nexus 5x/6p.

Inspecting the hdr+ images taken by the ported gcam you can clearly see that the combining algorithms are working. But sadly just for about 1/4 of the image.

So it's basically working but there are some buffer, aligning, library, build.props or whatever modifications missing to get all of it.

But where to start?

Any suggestions welcome :)!

P.S. I will try to contact the smali hacker on 4pda to get some starting pointers regarding this quirk...
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] TotallyAnxious:
I'm pretty sure I have slowmo and hevc recording working. Gcam doesn't crash for me using slowmo. I have an edited mediaprofiles.xml I based off of edits for OPO devices. Bitrates and stuff are the still the same. Does any dev more familiar with camera stuff wanna look over the file before I post it publicly? [MENTION=4321403]Kisakuku[/MENTION]

HTC cam is still better for me. Zooming in is better, colours look much better and yea. Sure gcam adds a little more light. But you can help with adjustable lighting in HTC cam too. So I will stick with HTC cam, except there are tweaks which are perfect for the HTC 10

I think HTC 10 camera is poor or rather over-rated as DXOmark gave him same score as S8/S7 edge . Its poor experience after coming from Pixel and s7 edge . I personally prefer even camera of huawei P9 over HTC 10. HTC 10 lack clarity and sharpness and focus issue and most pic come out blurry.

I have seen your photos and i cannot believe that they were taken with HTC 10 especially when they are too saturated and sharp beat eve Pixel in details

I always take photos after cleaning the lenses

here is comparison of photo taken with HTC 10 and P9 in auto mode ..first photo taken with HTC 10 while second with P9
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Haz04:
I've used either Google Photos (Gallery app on the 10) or Photo shop express (PSX) to add saturation, increase shadows and lower highlights. Around 20 seconds of editing per photo. Point is the detail is there. Depending on how you like your processing, you can edit easily to your liking

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Don't waste your valuable time arguing with HTC fanboys. I have not seen a single person who had used other premium phones but still praise the camera quality of HTC 10 including myself. HTC as a company is in verge of dying. Their most successful phone was HTC M7 and M8. M9, M9 plus, 10, Ultra and Bolt was a huge failure. HTC U 11 is a very good phone, unfortunately after so many failures HTC lost trust. The main reason for all those failures was Camera quality. I bought HTC 10 because of high DXO rating only. The camera quality of HTC 10 didn't justify the asking price (INR 52000 $812) Same problem with OP5 (INR 33000 $515) For me OP5 is not that expensive but regular OnePlus user think it is bit expensive. Google pixel didn't have any bell or whistle but it sucessed solely cause of high quality camera. HTC fan boys will come up with any illogical and baseless reasons to justify how good 10 is like Marketing issues, Custom Roms, kernel tweak, Editing pictures to make it look good, taking pictures in enough lighting condition etc.

MGCB_7.0H_C2API_Min_v.3.5_AllinOne_Full_Manual.apk does not work for me with any settings where hdr is pulling multiple images. No processed image is saved and logcat shows corresponding errors. I guess it's due to the pixel to nexus library changes.

I'm testing on latest EU stock firmware.

---------- Post added at 02:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:11 PM ----------

But here are the good news:

After loads of debugging and testing I think I found the first pointer of how to get rid of this grim hdr noise pattern in 3/4 of the image.

It seems to depend on different settings and shooting modes but with these settings I could reproduce decent auto hdr images.

Package Version:

MGCB_7.0H_C2API_Min_v.3.4b_AllinOne_Full_Manual.apk

(probably most versions < v3.5 should show the same improvements)

For both use "A(uto) HDR+"

Settings I:

Pixel 2017 ZSL Hdr #1

2

3

3

Nexus6P

Settings II:

Pixel 2017 (DR Dogfood)

2

14

3

Nexus6P

Please give the auto hdr a couple of seconds to settle and use tap hold lock focus for consistent results. I mostly tested settings I in portrait and II in landscape mode.

Can someone confirm these (big) improvements (=no visible noise starting line even in darkness)?

I will post some Images (after I overcome this silly 10 post limit) and more Information will follow.
