Got volte but knoxx warranty tripped :crying:

Thanks for your help bro. Got my model name changed from SM-J730F to SM-J730GM with volte but its not complete change I guess. In download mode, it still shows model- SM-J730F, my knoxx warranty got tripped :crying: (that's not an issue for uae model but it also took away knoxx security features :crying: ). Isn't there any way to also change the bootloader (BL) and modem (CP) files?? I guess, then it will be a complete firmware flash with model change... and maybe we get ota updates from Samsung.. still a lot of thanks to you bro.. :fingers-crossed::good:

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] old fox:
Hello!

I just unbricked my Note 7 but I would like to ask you, I installed HydraRom 1.4.5 on Note 7 SM-N930F but android still says that there is low space for system files and I just wiped all Datas and cache by recovery and don´t know where can the problem be.

When I was installing HydraRom i did clean installation, so TWRP formatted everything except my SD card.

Had I to repartion everything before installing HydraRom or where could be the problem?
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
I have created a Magisk based DIY GCAM port for our 10's. Basically, it installs everything you need for it to work, and you try/select whatever GCAM you think works the best. All this will do is enable the extra features for GCAM

***SLOMO NOT WORKING ON OREO FOR ME***

Prerequisites:

2.xx.xxx.xx Nougat Stock sense, not sure about LOS or others (you can try, no guarantees).

3.xx.xxx.xx Oreo Stock sense, not sure about LOS or others (you can try, no guarantees).

Magisk 15.0 or newer (Uses 1500 template)

No Other GCAM installed (remove any prior to flashing magisk module)

REMEMBER TO SET ALL SETTINGS AND FC ONCE BEFORE USE!!!!!

What it does:

It replaces media_profiles.xml in system/etc : this allows for HEVC and 60fps

Oreo Version

It adds ARCore and ARStickers to system/app

It sets ro.config.calibration_cad=/system/etc/calibration_cad.xml

It adds res_ctrl.conf to system/etc

it updates all the various .xml files that have media settings within them

This is a free-for-all zip, meaning i dont care if you modify it, pass it off to other groups, help anybody else, etc.

I am not responsible if you get your phone messed up, it works for me, and for others. I will help as much as i can. Its a work in process, hopefully, it will make life easier for everybody. This is really close to being a DD, i will try other GCams as i find time. Im really waiting for Oreo on VZW, then ill really get into it. (AR Stickers, etc.)

Also, this is a HTC 10 thread, and while i dont mind helping people (I want everybody to have a working GCAM) this magisk module, especially the media_profiles.xml is very very very 10 specific. You can however, do the legwork, use this zip as a template, and make one for your threads/personal use as well. And i dont mind. Just dont come in here without a logcat with some phone that's not a 10 and say its broke. I will at least look at a logcat and help if its not a 10, but my demands have been expressed.

Also, for those with a 10.. Dont come in here and tell me its broke, not tell me anything relevant, have no logcat, and expect a fix...you will be meme flamed for my amusement...You have been warned. You should know better at this point!!!

Thanks

Changelog/Bugs:

DIY GCAM MODS: Everything but GCAM, Pick the one you like the best and use this mod to get the extras to work.

V31: Version back to 2 revs. 1: Skulshady V3.0, portrait works (6p or pixel 2017 zsl hdr +, that one has low light bug still), Tolyan009 v1.3.5, portrait doesnt work, more options (needs alot of configuration, pixel 2, 2017 pixel zsl hdr+ new, black level 64, hdr+ control on, turn off use google photos in debug settings)

V30: Oreo and Nougat: Added HEVC Back in, Removed Lens (Built into photos now), some people say slomo works in oreo now, you tell me ;) Uses Arnova V7B6 Camera...too bad it's junk......

V28: Cleaned up media_profiles_vendor.xml and added HEVC support. (Slo-Mo at least loads the viewfinder now, getting warmer :) )

V24: Low Light/Flash Bugs fixed, increase sharpness might be better, still no slo-mo :(

V23: Same oreo bugs

v8 Nougat: Updated to arnova pixel2mod v6b14, probably the last good one

v8 Oreo: Initial release, has b14, and AR stickers, need someone to test it on oreo.

v7: 99.98% works, only "little" bug is if you take a low light/room is completely dark photo (front and rear), very rarely, but sometimes the camera app crashes.

v1: Initial release

Bugs: No front HDR, Slo-mo crashes went set to 240fps (120 is fine), can only take picture with hdr+ enhanced on for rear, view finder is a little slow for portrait mode rear.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
V28: To ease confusion, 6P works with everything it appears, 2017 Pixel HDR ZSL has some issues in low/no light still (wanna help, PM [MENTION=1440689]tsalta[/MENTION] )

V24: Either works i believe

V23: I use nexus6P, you can use pixel 2 as well

v8: Use nexus 6P, it all works, you can use 2017 pixel zsl HDR+, but it will FC in dark/no light using flash.

How to modify the zip for your a new gcam:

1. uninstall gcam mod

2. reboot

3. Install gcam of your choosing

4. using root browser, copy directory from data/app containing google camera directory.

5. take the contents of that folder, copy the contents to the zip file, in system/app/GCAM, replace the contents in there.

6. reflash zip with new gcam

thank for share
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] tsalta:
Hello dude i see you are starting like you sayd befor im just wondering what version you used like a base?

Arnova 1.6 or maybe 1.2 ?

Just wondering

Thanks for the Share will test it now!

Edit: Yes 1.6 i guess or perhaps 1.7 but the feel is like more 1.6

Yes this is the most stable build with all the options that we can have the only one thing we gona miss is the Pixel 2017 HDR+ ZSL the ZSL works only with this presets and since the new versions it doesnt work anymore the last time was worked fine on V 1.2

---------- Post added at 09:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 AM ----------

well i can take pictures with HDR+ and HDR+ Enhchanced from the Back camera so it is working fine not bug.

Also the Front HDR+ is working what i mean is it is made to work only In portrait MOD so when you shoot Portrait with the Front and you have HDR+ portrait camera enabled will get the effect this is how the build is mean to work so you can remove this from the Bugs it is not actually a bug.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ali nz:
Slow mo crashes on stock Oreo

And also 60fps does not work:D
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
Arnova 1.7 beta 1

It will only take pics on hdr+ if it decides hdr should be used. If you turn hdr off, it won't work.

Yea, I'm aware of the work around for front hdr+. But you can't just have hdr+ on the front camera in normal mode. So it's a bug still until we find a better alternative camera that works.

You can be the tester [MENTION=1440689]tsalta[/MENTION] if you like. I explained how to put different GCAMS in the magisk zip, so you can find the perfect version.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] tsalta:
Yes im planing to make one version same with 1.6 because 1.6 is more stable than 1.7 beta ad 1.7 in 1.6 will take pictures always with HDR+ or Enchanged whatever you want from the back camera.

and i think 1.6 is one idea faster no freeze slownes on the viewfinder
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] romixer:
Los Ron (rr), HDR working, portrait mode too, but slow motion mode not

Thanks anyway)
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] tsalta:
[MENTION=5447216]aer0zer0[/MENTION] i was planing to make another version but after alot of test the most stable build that work is 1.7 Beta 1 so thanks for the share.

I mean compared to the Other builds that have Portraid mode if not 1.2 is the most stable

Like ive sayd many times every build have some advantage and dissadvantages for example 1.2 is super fast and stable also has working Pixel config with ZSL in other hand do not have POrtrait

Well above 1.6 they have everything but the pixel config is not working and no ZSL at all.

Also i have some other builds that are Not Arnova diferent from different russian sites and i had the best Front + HDR+ mod and take amazing HQ selfies but only this is the advantage of the mod.

if we have somehow to make a mix like frankenstain from the mods we know who is best and work perfect to make One build that include all the things.

Thanks for the Magisk Module.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
No problem, once Oreo hits, everything will be better, I'm sure
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
You have a 10, right? The only thing I can think of is media_profiles.xml is not in the right spot.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] tsalta:
Yes it is media Profile xml i never ever had Slow Mo to work no matter of the presets in best case just freeze and i found out that this heppand only in Viper Magisk ROM people who are with Lee Droid v 4 have Slow Mo working so im pretty sure its ROM related and thats why i leave it thats way i get tired of trying to fix it and just waiting the OREO.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
[MENTION=1440689]tsalta[/MENTION] have you tried older builds, like in the 1.4s I would sacrifice portrait mode for clean front and rear camera implementation. The 10 was my daily driver till I got a essential phone mid September. So I haven't messed with it much. Are the bsg versions any good?
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
You have to add Google's preset media configs to media_profiles.xml that's how it works. 240 fc, since the sensor can't handle it.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] tsalta:
I have the google preset for the slow motion but same the viewfinder freezes imideately when i press slow motion.

Anyway in the Magisk version u provide you have media profile xml with the settings and is the same if you have another idea how to add this google media configs let me know or write me them here to chek what i have now to see if they differ.

About the Gcam Mods.

I tested all of them by all i mean even builds that are not even listen on XDA.

for me Arnova 1.2 is one of the best for us because its fast and all HW levels are added to support level 3 so we HTC 10 users and many other devices that have and can handle camera 2 api have HW level 3 support.

In the 1.2 Bold Red build from Arnova even the Pixel 2017 ZSL HDR+ preset work in all conditions i never had a single crash there shooting day and night, the only one downside is that there is no Portrait MODE.

Another info like i mentioned befor i had one Build if you wish will upload it that it has the Most amazing fron Shooter with HDR+ it is based on BSG build but edited by some Russian folk from 4pda i used this mod only because of the front facing camera a slefie is about 5 mb in size Crisp and clear like you shoot it with back camera.

Other than that one of my Favorite as well is the ArtZ based Mod that is Pixel based Version 2.

Have everything working ZSL all is set to use Pixel configs have a Portrait Mod working and so on.

The only problem with this build is like i explain several times befor shooting in the dark when there is not Object to focus the app force crash it is somthing related to the Focus plus the Flash it is like the Flashligh do not work properpy in synhron with the Focus and the HDR+

but for a day and good light photos i got the best pictures with this ArtZ MOD.

---------- Post added at 03:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:48 PM ----------

Try this out just set up the camera on 1st run for Max Quality and shoot with the Front Camera in Good Light condition.

If we have somehow to see what settings use this apk for the front to implement in the 1.7 regular front will be Awesome.

So even using the magisk mod, slo- mo crashes? It works fine for me, just 240 crashes, 120 works fine
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] tsalta:
Yes even the Magisk Mod and i know this heppans in Viper ROM i don`t know why.

Im sure if i flash now LeeDroid will work but like i say im just waiting OREO
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
Works perfect here, what rom are you on?
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] tsalta:
well the Gcam with the HDR+ is killer for Photos!

But the HTC stock Camera Video Recording in 4K and Hi Res Audio Gcam cant beat!

Yes Gcam has also 4K recording but not Hi Res Audio recording.

Also in the Gcam Ports we use here and this one well the seetings use for example

Pixel Zero Shutter Lag HDR+ processing in the Nexus 5 is different every device have difference in the HDR+ calculation.

In theory Nexus 5 and Nexus 6P have SAME hardware Camera like HTC 10

Yes. but if you use that configs for the Gcam you gona get in more situations worse results like Pinkish Purple Tints color artifacts.

Because the Smart people from HTC "tweaked" the Hardware it is not pure Stock installed Lens. Thats why the best results HTC 10 takes is with using for MODEL - PIXEL PIXEL 2 or PIXEL 2XL.

There is not one single Build that i can use Nexus5 Model and the Gcam to work properly
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] blaze73:
Alright, I see.

So which 3rd party cam apps should I install on HTC 10?

Shooting videos with stock HTC cam, right?

Still pictures using HDR+ with "Gcam" ? Which version is stable, stock Oreo I will run. Can I get a d/l link, or is it the one you

sent me ? GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2.apk

I also have one other apk downloaded : GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V6-Final-test(3).apk

I am only receiving my HTC 10 next week and I want to be prepared.

I hope the new Oreo is not as buggy as it sounds, these notification issues and bluetooth issues sound a bit alarming....

Thanks again, I am excited to use the HTC 10, it will have double ram (2GB vs 4GB) and also a better chipset.

Back camera is exactly the same as in Nexus 5x, this is why I decided to upgrade to HTC 10 as I simply love this camera.

:cool:
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] tsalta:
Well the link i provide is fine.

However I dont use that Build or any Arnova Pixel2 Based mod for one important reason.

I want a Stable Camera that i know 1st when i gona use it when i need it will work in all Scenarious shooting without a problem in Low Light in good LIght whatever i want.

2. Second about the Image quality i care for 2 things.

Regular Photos to have Icredible image quality even in Low light and Front Facing Camera to have the best posible image quality.

For this reason i use one other Gcam Port that is made by the Russians from another forum and is not listed here.

The portrait mode doesnt work in that version But i have to choice what i want

Superiour image quality working in all conditions stable and fast.

Or App that can crash and have Portrait Mode working.

Well the POrtrait mode is nice Future really nice but it is not something extra ordinary that you cannot recreate with any 3rd app like Snapseed or Lightrom

So also the Portrait mode is usefull to shoot people in portrait mode thats why is called portrait after all i ask myself how often i shoot portraits ?

Usually you want to shoot a regular full image with the Back and Front Camera.

I will start using Pixel2 Based Mod if SOMEDAY Arnova Fix the Low LIght Flash Crash for me this is important to know you Gcam wont crash.

Now will upload two Pictures to see what im talking about!
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] tsalta:
Both Pictures are Shooted with the same Configs and Parameters the same Light Condition and position.

You tell me the difference just chek out the SKY colors and details in full size.

The Alternative Gcam 1st image is the CAM that i use for everyday use

the Second image is the Latest Pixel2 Mod.

As you can see the 1st image for example the Photo is Lighter and the Sky is more like a Blue to it

The second image overall have slight Greenish overall and thats the main reason to look more darker.

and most noticiable is the SKY because it is a plain Color in Low Light performance i didnt find so far a better version than the Russian to shoot.

In even more darker situation the difference become much more clear and visable
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] blaze73:
Yes, I see the difference.

"For this reason i use one other Gcam Port that is made by the Russians from another forum and is not listed here."

Can you post a link to that Gcam Port here, or if we are not allowed to do so, can you PM me the link ?

I want a camera that does not crash. I do not take too many portraits either, sometimes I take a selfie with my wife but thats not portrait mode :)

Thanks in advance.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] tsalta:
Both are taken now with HDR+ enabled Regular Front Facing Camera.

Both uses the same Pixel ZSL HDR+ Config and the same parameters.

You decide what is more natural and detailed.

For me the 1st Image has real Colors and Details.

The second is somehow Pinkish.

I know what im talking about because i start to test Gcam ports from the very begining back in about 4+ Months.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] tsalta:
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog80/

MGC_5.1.018_v2e_tolyan009_v1.2.apk

This for me is the Most Stable True Colors Gcam Port like i say no Portraid Mode.

But other than that the port is Solid and perform very well in all situations with Amazing low light performance, and the best Front Facing Camera calculation.

The most big difference you gona see again in low light performance if the Front Facing Shuter have to use the Flashlight then you gona see what a BEAST is this in completely dark ROM im getting super vivid front facing Selfies with the Flashlight.

The Port is based on the Last B-S-G Mod and is optimized by Tolyann so all credits goes to them and everyone can use it as a everyday shooting beast.

Only one think you have to set.

WHen install from the Options Adjust Black Levels for front camera set it to 64 because by default is set to 16 for Mi5 set it to 64 this is the value for HTC to work properly!
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] starbase64:
[MENTION=1440689]tsalta[/MENTION]

hdr+ and portrait does not work on OREO + MGC_5.1.018_v2e_tolyan009_v1.2.apk, the only working config is all auto for normal pictures
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] tsalta:
In the post above even befor to post the APP I SAYD

THE PORTRET MODE DOESNT WORK!
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] blaze73:
Thanks a lot, I have just grabbed the

MGC_5.1.018_v2e_tolyan009_v1.2 (Tolyan009, 2018-02-23)

I will be sure to set in Options Adjust Black Levels for front camera to 64 from default 16...

Many thanks for the tips.

I hope I will love my HTC 10, I am hoping for much better SOT with HTC 10, my Nexus 5x is only 1.5 years old and I am getting

really s+% SOT using stock Android 8.1.0 :rolleyes:
