Way worse than stock imo. Poor processing, less detail, worse colors. I think it's terrible honestly
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Spewed:
The Google camera app that I have has HDR plus as an option and that seems to worn really well. Is that the same thing as the pixel HDR mod? If not point me in the right direction. :P
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Spewed:
Wow. I've taken several photos and compared them side by side and each time the Google camera app has better colors and all around looks better, even my wife and kids think so. I guess since they look so different it's throwing you off, but it is by far not terrible at all, at least in my experience.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
Hardly. Are you saying it from the point of view of someone with photography experience? If not, I respectfully disagree entirely to put it lightly. From someone very into photography, it pales in comparison.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Spewed:
Photography experience or not I think it's safe to say and widely agreed upon that Samsungs camera oversaturates images and leaves them far too bright. In my experience tons of details are missing from the s8 stock camera app as opposed to the Google camera app. Perhaps your experience is different for whatever the reason may be. I can't speak on that.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] NxPleXy:
The normal hdr+ is good but I recommend downloading the one I have and giving g it a try with these setting and let me know how it goes

*I do not take any credit for this mod*

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
Argue all you want, or go ask someone else with experience. Regardless of your opinion on color saturation, examine more than just that. Blow up an image and zoom in. Fine detail is slaughtered in the Google camera app. You're neutering your camera in order to avoid color saturation lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Spewed:
This is even better. :D
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Spewed:
That's actually the exact opposite experience that I've had. Detail is leaps and bounds better for me using the Google camera app, even zooming in.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Spewed:
Even better. Thanks :)

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Marvinho+:
Sadly it´s not working for me (I have the Exynos Version). I use my Google Camera Port(1.3) mainly for HDR Photos, for example when taking pictures against the sun, or in VERY low light situations. In such situations it´s way better than Samsung Camera. Other than that I prefer the Samsung Camera, since the pictures are sharper and there is less noise in normal situations.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] NxPleXy:
That's because the mods are for snapdragon processors due to the pixels only having snapdragon
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Xp3r14:

Can you provide a new link? I have the app and portrait mode is working on both cameras but the app have too many lags and crashes.

I really like the portrait mode but it kinda zoom the photo when you activate portrait and I don't like that very much..

So to complicate matters further, there root camera mod available for the stock s8 camera is amazing. It blows even the gcam mods out of the water. It even does true 4k video

This is old but just wanted to apologize and say i was wrong.. been using the pixel cam (gmod5) and it is amazing. Thanks for the recommendation and I'm sorry if i was an ahole
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jostian:
I compared output from the stock S8, vs the stock S8 modded with https://play.google.com/store/apps/....camera_mod_samsung_s8_bitrate_settings&hl=en vs the Google Cam ports and the modded S8 came out tops, then the Google Cam ports (I tried 2 variants) and then the stock S8 camera, priorities for me were natural looking photos with good detail rendering, the Google cam ports may be better in lower light but they might not be, I didnt test low light, just my 5 cents.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
What they seem to do better is HDR and portrait blur. I agree the detail is slightly better on the stock cam
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jostian:
yip the Gcam is very good in the hdr department though the modded S8's HDR also look very good. Portrait blur is better than the selective focus, yes, but just in terms of the effect, though selective focus does ok.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] c@rL0$:
I have been trying to work on something that will enable some sort of Haptic feed back on my XV6800. The Haptic feed back is a feature that enables vibration to the screen when you press on the screen. Such as the Voyager.

I dont intend to try and make this just to work with the XV6800 but for ALL HTC Touch Screen Devices and if it can others too.

There is a feature on my phone and on many others that allows our phones to play a sound when the screen is taped. I thought of an idea of why not replace the sound with vibration?

There is already a CAB out there that changes the dial tone into a vibration feedback ( when you press the dial buttons ) but it doesnt do much for the rest of the applications or screen.

So far I have been working on this for a couple of days but havent had much time to put much effort into it.

I was hoping that some developers / hackers can help out the cause and help develope or create a feature that enables this on ALL HTC Touch Screen Devices.

If I do find a way to do this I'll post my findings here, but any help to make this a reality would be gladly appreciated.:D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bootheresa:
I was just reading about this very thing HERE: http://www.immersion.com/vt/haptics-for-mobile.php

I was wondering if somebody was going to give it a try. Good luck with it, BOO
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Azimuth21:
it has already been done, and someone posted it up on these forums a while ago, probably buried extremely deeply by now... i forgot the name but i just know it's out there and although it worked, i quickly worried about battery life/hardware issues, so i uninstalled. i'll try to find it for you
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] c@rL0$:
Thank you. I am hoping that we can get this done.

I mean we are constantly trying to make our touch screen devices finger friendly. We enlarge buttons, the creation of Touch FLO and the Cube, enlarging menus and so on.

My theory is why not combine all these I deas with Haptic feedback and make it even more finger friendly and try to limit the use of the stylus. If made possible this would be able to work on any HTC Touch screen device or any WM Touch screen device out there.

This would also help users that have a hard time inputing anything into their phone. For example, some one trying to make a text message through t9 or even less then that just pressing on the screen to access a short cut with out having to pound their touch screen until it inputs that they are trying to press. This would help with that because it will acknowledge the input that was made.

Just an Idea;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] c@rL0$:
If this has been made possible for the entire touch screen and all applications including the standard OS please inform me of this find. I would gladly appreciate it.:D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Azimuth21:
yeah it was an application that ran in the background (maybe as a service, i don't remember), but every single tap created a vibrate feedback. argh i just looked around for it and i have no idea where to find it. it was in some thread, someone's reply had the app attached to it. something about how he knew someone who was working on it, and waited for that person's permission to post the app here on xda-dev. sigh.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] c@rL0$:
Interesting. If it has been done already I wonder if we can replicate it and put it on this thread. That is if you dont find the link to the page or the program it self.:)

Around post #15. I do not know if it works or not..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] c@rL0$:
Thanks this is a good find. :D

Ill see if i can make it available using another method. Because they reported that it worked on every other tap of the screen and that it runs the battery down faster too.

What I might try to do is have mine work but have the option to disable it ( like the way you do when you disable screen tap sounds) to save battery power.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Cobra2:
Hay c@rLo$

True like u said, i've tried it 2, but it do not respond to every fingertouch, if u can figur a way for an app that will respond 2 every touch even the small ones:) (where u don'nt need 2 hold for a sek before it regonise and verb.).. that will be really great :D:D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] c@rL0$:
So far I have planned some steps on ways to do it through the registry but it is not perfect. I am not an expert programmer but I can give it a shot, but it might take a while since I am not as great as the experts here in XDA.

But I'll do what I can. If I do find a solution I will post it here, but any help to make this project possible would be great. ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Trekvogel:
I would be happy if my phone would just vibrate on keyboard input.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MaxMotus:
I am running this older vibro cab. Works very well however...

The vibration lasts aslong as your finger has contact on the screen. It would be better if it just gave a quick blip of vibro each touch maybe?

When you slide a cube etc it virbos the whole movement.

MM
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] c@rL0$:
Do you happen to have the CAB with you? Maybe I can find a way to change the effect this program does when you press the screen and lower the vibration feed back.

If I can do that then I can maybe create some registry settings to make the same effect but just replacing the sound that is emulated when you tap the screen. That way you can disable it or enable it when you want it. ( In case you need to save battery or something )
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MrSmith22:
The length of the vibration should be shorter, other than that it's a really good tool.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] yeller:
wow i must be stupid. i just posted a thread about this yesterday. anyway, it'd be cool if we could figure out a way to just incorporate it into the registry, probly wouldn't use as much battary and stuff then.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Soul_Est:
This has been done already on this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=354890&page=2. On the second page, Kpyto posted a download link for it. I haven't tested it yet though so I can't tell you how well it works.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xboxhaxorz:
hows this coming along?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mr_deimos:
I tried the VOA program mentioned above, but i don't really like it - it's simply annoying by vibrating all the time when scrolling trough lists, or attempting to bring up a tap-and-hold context menu. Not to mention additional battery drain caused by the motor running for such long periods of time.

For me, much better screen tap confirmation is a very short vibra pulse - i often use Vibrate(50) as a confirmation in my mortscripts. That's only 50 milliseconds, but it' enough to be clearly felt, and since the motor is powered only for such short time, it causes almost no additional battery drain. I'd really love to see an application creating such confirmation instead of the screen tap sound.

I'd just like it to have customizable vibration time - since the minimal time needed to make vibration even noticeable can probably vary from device to device, and play nice with fTouchFlo - since both capture touchscreen events there are probably possible conflicts.

Good luck with the development. I hope you'll be able to realize this great idea :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DiemetriX:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrRobot_84:
Hi, I have been following this forum for a long time but I had never logged on. I commented my problem, although I saw several threads that deal with the subject, I did not see any updated or that I clarify the doubts well.

I'm from Argentina and buy aliexpress LG V10 H900, refurbish, came with Android 5.1. Seeing through several forums I saw that ATyT released an official update to 6.0 Marshmallow, to update via LGUP (via OTA I did not get to be outside the USA). I did not have problems to flash it, but when I started to test the functions, I found that the fingerprint reader does not work, it does not let me directly enter the settings. LG VPN error when starting, does not allow me to uninstall preinstalled apps (restarts the cellphone), among other errors.

Then I found out that you can not go back to Android 5.1, nor is there another ROM to try. I made a complete wipe from the cel options after the update. When I wanted to start from recovery I could never, try with all the key combinations and I could never, it is as if I did not have recovery ... Nothing work for me.

Sorry if the post was long, I hope to solve it and give me their experiences and opinions. Thanks and greetings to the community

Got it installed. Still no joy on Android Pay (saying phone is rooted or beta software). I didn't notice anything different - once weird thing is that you can't delete digits from the dialer - a delete key is missing :). Also weird that the phone boots with a "mobile data is off" message and you have to manually turn it on. Still can't pick which sim you want to default for calls or data (i rebranded a C636 Asia dual sim phone) - have to figure that out before my next trip to Asia (and using my 2nd SIM) - good 4G signal. I got wifi calling to work (at least the wifi calling notification is showing on the notification bar) and under "wireless & networks, wifi calling" it shows it on but under wireless and networks, mobile network under sim 1 is show it's disabled (guess that's still a software issue) and other AT&T features are working fine.

Any idea how to switch the primary sim for data?

How to extract OTA link​

1. Wait when OTA arrive to you and start download.

2. Go to: "Settings" -> "Developer options" -> "Take bug report".

3. Wait until it compile.

4. When it's ready - save it to /sdcard via Solid Explorer or upload to GDrive/Gmail etc.

5. Open big *.txt file (~15 MB) in Notepad++ (or same editor) and find link via mask: "xiaomi_tissotsprout_tissot" (without quotes).

6. Post a link in this thread.

When you check for updates, the phone will do a "checkin" in Google servers showing his sw version, model, provider, platform, if you are in wifi or mobile data, etc.
