[MENTION=2516635]zeroprobe[/MENTION]

First of all, thanks for the great development of this modded camera app which I instantly bought of course out of interest.

Remembering the only halfway decent but meanwhile rather badly supported and unstable alternative "Cinema4K" by Frozen Volcano, the following questions came up for me:

1. While your camera mod certainly extends the capability of the stock one, Cinema4K goes a step further by allowing to use the "flat" profile including the option to entirely disable any noise reduction or artifical sharpening when taking videos. Any plans to pick up those aspects in your mod (if possible at all)?

2. In Cinema4K, the maximum video bitrate one can set independenly of the resolution is 200 MBit/s. In your app though, I haven't seen any documentation about what maximum values are valid and supported by the framework/chipset (only the JPG field states 100 as a maximum).

3. Is there any reason why the stock camera defaults to H.264 instead of H.265 and are there any drawbacks in using H.265 besides possible compatibility issues with playback devices?

4. As far as I understand your app, instead of enabling any settings for the camera app, it rather "newly compiles" it based on the override settings, am I correct? Any plans to make an app where one can dynamically choose the settings, especially the frame rate at a given resolution?

5. Would it be possible to enable getting the corresponding RAW files in "auto" mode as well? While the pro mode delivers the RAW files, in daily life situations often a good automation can be better than badly chosen manual settings in the hurry. Nonetheless it would be nice to have the RAW for such pictures as well.

6. Is it technically possible to get out something like TIFF or PNG instead of JPEG from the sensor/framework? Thus "cooked" and not "raw" but without the lossy data reduction.

7. Since you advised to update the camera from v7.5.56 to v7.5.58 - what are the exact changes and benefits? Samsung's information is somewhere between being vague and non-existing as usual.

Thanks!

That was quite a test.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] little-endian:
Many thanks for your quick reply! :good:

I should be able to completely disable NR for those that want it. Should be next mod

That would be great. How about the sharpening?

Maximum value would probably depend on sdcard write speed.

Well, that will be for sure one limiting factor in practice. Given the (faster) internal memory and the fact that some instance has to provide the realtime encoding, I wonder if there isn't a second limitation imposed by the framework delivering the data. Guess I have to just give it a try then.

It may be possible to force a framerate without recompiling, will need to look into it

That would also be great. Feel free to use me as a beta tester, I'm willing to support and give feedback.

No idea :)

I'm confused here - wasn't your recommendation as a developer based on a good reason? ;)

60 fps with QHD didn't seem to work. Even bought the app but no 60fps. Also I could just buy the app, built it with the changes and then refund it. When the app gives me an good advantage I propably but it again but now it's not worth it.

I dont need 60fps, Im not skydiving or something like that. I need 4k without recording and filesize limit. But I still need to flash my N8? Right?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Caalex:
I'm assuming this requires ROOT... on the play store you took the extra second to put that in the app name... Can you make sure you always tell us if ROOT is required for an app please?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] little-endian:
Zero Camera modded video modes: Bitrates and Filtering

Well with all due respect to the developer, the possible lack of the mentioning "root" in the app description might be the smallest of the app's problems. ;)

Anyway, to at least somewhat answer one of my own former questions regarding the bitrates - just as I assumed, the potential limitation of it due to the write speed of the used memory for sure isn't the only one:

While having set everything to max (as far as possible as depending on the field, the app accepts up to 999 or 200 as a value), I get the following approximate total bitrates (including the audio) calculated by the resulting filesizes:

UHD: ~ 202 Mbps

QHD: ~ 202 Mbps

Q60: ~ 380 Mbps

HD: ~ 138 Mbps

FHD60: ~ 269 Mbps

FHD: 232 Mbps

18.5:9: 16 Mbps

VGA: ~ 3 Mbps

For this test, I used the internal memory to avoid any limitation imposed by a potentially slower SD card.

In any case, if a file of ~ 2.66 GB can apparently be written in 1 minute in the Q60 mode, then the otherwise lower bitrates can't be a result from a write speed limitation. However, that's by far not the main issue, although worth to be investigated.

Instead, I noticed the following:

- when using the somewhat obscure 18.5:9 ratio mode, the bitrate is very low (16 Mbps only). That might be because the app actually doesn't patch that mode and thus falls back to the very low default bitrate setting. The VGA mode is even worse but from that mode, not a lot was to be expected anyway. Might still come in handy though when only documentation of stuff is required and memory is running out.

- the modes Q60 and FHD60 while showing smooth motion thanks to the higher frame rate, also suffer from excessive noise filtering, smearing detail and producing a waxy look which almost qualifies for yet another Terminator 2 release on UHD. ;)

- the other modes don't seem to have any noise filtering enabled so dark environments look rather rough but also naturally grainy which I personally prefer over any sort of artificial filtering.

@zeroprobe: In this conjunction, I don't understand your former statement where you mention that you might look into having an option to disable the filtering entirely. Isn't that (luckily) already the case for most of the modes now?

So reverting to 7.5.46 should fix the motion photo issue I've been having?

---------- Post added at 02:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:36 AM ----------

Nevermind, I misunderstood what you were saying. For whatever reason I was getting the newer version and getting the motion photo issue. Reapplied the patch and it seems to have properly given me 7.5.46 this time. Will test and report.

Hello friends,

I need a help. I have a kenzo running Resurrection Remix Final build (7.1.2).

The problem is "Ok google" detection while Screen off and Charging is not working. I have enabled Ok google anywhere in Google assistant settings. It is working fine when the screen is On, but not when charging. Google app is installed as system app. It used work while I was on MM.

Some people are saying that they are getting it working while charging and screen off. I need ok google anywhere even when the screen is Off. for that I have installed assistant enabler xposed framework and checked the "OK Google anywhere" option. But no luck.

I have read somewhere that google has removed the support for OK Google detection for devices other that pixel to make it exclusive to Google phones. If its right then how can some people (with the same device modal) get this feature working. Am I missing something ?

So please can anyone help me to get it back ?

or point me to the solution ?

Thanks in advance

There are apps in playstore which can test the proximity sensor.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] lennie:
Works for me. If yours not working maybe try to clean the area where the sensor is test see if it's working.

Check the Test Menu by pressing *#0*# in the dialer, that's going to bring up the test menu (to exit press the back button a few times). In the test menu look for the button that says "sensors" and in there you should see the proximity sensor data, the ADC should be changing periodically, also try placing your hand above the phone close to the sensor, if it is working properly your phone will vibrate and the screen should turn green. If it doesn't work then your sensor is probably shot, if a hard resent doesn't fix it then should be grounds for a manufacturer replacement if you want to.

If it is working then it might be a setting or an app thats causing your issue.

Note 8 Screen Doesn't Turn Off While in Call

Yes. I have the Note 8 and I am experiencing the same problem. Screen won't turn off when I hold the phone to my ear during a call. When the call is done and I pull the phone away from my ear, it seems that random apps have opened, especially the notification panel. Sometimes it works and the screen will turn off, sometimes it doesn't. I tested the sensor and it works fine. I didn't notice this until the most recent update to Oreo. My Note 8 is AT&T Prepaid - SM-N950U1

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] msoren8:
It is not the proximity sensor at all. When Samsung did an update they now require you to hit the home screen while on a call then you can shut the phone down manually or let it time out. Or just uninstall Samsung pay. Its as simple as that.

Mine works perfectly fine. If you have had your device for less than 14 days, then I would get a replacement unit. Otherwise take it to a Samsung Service Center and let them take a look at it.

My Mi A1 keeps rebooting every half hour or so. There is no specific app or process that I can point a finger to. It just freezes momentarily and reboots. It's extremely frustrating.

I haven't experienced this. You should backup your data and factory reset. If the issue persists you should contact the seller for a replacement.

hey bro have you found any solutions yet ? this started happening to me after october update

and even after factory reset it is the same

please let me know if you have solved it
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] droidwizzo:
Hi, I managed to isolate the problem to a specific SIM card in a specific location. As per my understanding, this is something to do with corrupt packets of data being transmitted via your network provider through a specific site (or several sites), which causes a reboot of your device. To isolate the problem do the following:

1. Switch off any one SIM card from Settings > Sim Cards

2. Monitor your phone for issues.

3. If the issue is replicated, switch on the SIM card switched off in '1' above and switch off the other SIM.

4. Monitor your phone for issues.

This should be able to identify the corrupt SIM. At this point, I permanently switched off the trouble SIM while at work (which was where the reboots kept occurring) and the phone started working normally without any reboots. I would switch on the trouble SIM in other areas and it did not cause any issues. A week later, I decided to do a SIM replacement on the trouble SIM, and this has managed to reduce the number of reboots to once a week, which I can live with.

Hope this helps!

So I cleaned and reflashed everything with MiFlash. 2 days now, still no problems, I'll keep here updated if any thing shows up.

Another problem is that I still didn't get Feb security patch. Tried everything! Did a factory reset, became beta tester of play services and cleared framework data and cache but still nothing! But
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Rawwr:
why dont you try custom ROM bro ?

i'm using LOS since its release and its really good, better than stock plus it has march security patch and a lot of features and android 8.1
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Montanari292:
Guess I'll have to go with that, unfortunately.

I wanted to keep my bootloader locked so I don't see that annoying message of unlocked bootloader.

I finally got Feb update patch but I'm still having reboot problems.

Starting to think I have a defective phone since this problem was solved in almost every case I saw =(

Hi

So I was trying to upgrade TRWP and then flash a new ROM. All went well using wugfresh toolkit until...

I selected erase cache/userdata (think I should have gone with format) thinking I better wipe it clean as installing a new ROM. Problem is, although I have successfully installed TWRP 3.1.1-0, it's stuck in an openrecovery script (trying to format the cache). I get the error unable to mount storage and then it just loops back to recovery and tries again.

I can get to a stable screen by pressing power + vol down but ADB commands are not recognised there.

Is there any way to reset TWRP / stop the script from executing?
