Google Camera 6 HDR Pattern

Using Google Camera 6 (MGC_6.1.013_MiMAX2_V1b_A8.1+fix_Hexagon_failed+blFront.apk) on the sky with HDR or HDR+ enabled, there is a small rectangular pattern across the entire area in the photo. Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, is there a solution?

Perhaps someone has produced a better modded apk for GCam 6. All the rest I tried failed to even work. The other issues that many have noticed is the random turn off in night sight mode, occasional loss of focus with blurred pictures and HDR needs to be disabled for the front camera to work.

Overall, lower light photos are just amazing, even without night sight. Outdoor photos are just a bit better color than the stock Mi Camera, but similar in quality. Shame there is not a way to adjust the individual colors in the Mi camera.

Hey guys , I tried doing this for a mi a2 lite upgradede to pie looking at this video sulit thech reviews on youtube .Unfortunately for me i could not get the job done. i got the error with no such file or directory like 100 times. i try rename it patched_boot.img and many other names, moving the file arround and also typing the entire path of the file, using a different computer but with no succes.Every time the same error . I do not know what else to do. I am using a windows 10 computer . Maybe you know some way to fix this. Regards

This worked for me! Thanks so much!!!

Only change was in Magisk Manager, I had to open the "Modules" section on the sidebar, and enable superuser. Then I was able to perform the su commands.

Also, I recommend using this version of Gcam, it is version 6 so it has night sight, which is amazing: https://xdaforums.com/mi-a2-lite/themes/xiaomi-mi-a2-lite-google-camera-6-1-013-t3864688

No you only use boot image one time when make the command fastboot boot patched boot.img (the file it's on PC ) the command copy the patched boot to the phone and boots it one time (if you reboot you loose root and you have to make the command again)

So I tried my hardest to get this working, trying to prepare everything before hand, but I still managed to not hold down the volume down long enough, which led to other difficulties.

I thought holding it down until the multicoloured circle would be sufficient, but I guess I had to hold it down longer, until the multi-coloured stripe... grrr

Then, since I rebooted after that I guess I wasn't booted correctly with su access so the su command wouldn't work, so I had to fastboot again.

This tutorial is well intentioned but certainly not fool proof. Hopefully I can restore the phone settings from a backup when I get home...

Ok I managed to solve this. Turns out the problem is you have to use USB 2.0 port but my notebook only has USB 3.0. I tried it in another PC with USB 2.0 and voila I manage to boot patched_boot.img

However after booting patched_boot.img, on point no.9 I downloaded the latest Magisk Manager and installed it. However I wasn't able to su in adb shell, it just stuck and no response. So I proceeded to install magisk v18 and completed the steps up until fastboot oem lock and getting a bootloop. Looks like I screw up again and losing my data :o:o How do I get to su?

In the latest update sony seemed to add some camera updates besides that audio setting.

(50.1.A.13.83)

It seems there is more color after you take the picture.

Also when HDR is on (manual mode), it seems it only does a hdr photo whenever it's needed, for example when im just taking a photo of an object it takes a single photo and does no hdr but whenever the background is brighter than the foreground it takes 3 photos and then combines them.

Anyone else noticed it?
[Sony Xperia XA2 Questions & Answers] emcom:
Yes ! I was about to ask, if it's just me or the camera takes much better low light photos now ?

Before it was just bumping ISO to 12800 in real low light conditions, and the photo quality was like well, 1/ISO ;)

Now not even the used ISO level is lower, or at least not bumped so quickly, but even the Superior Auto mode used for low light produces more detailed photos. And plain "Night mode" photos are really nice now.

Now I really enjoy my Xperia's camera (which I really hated before, tbh...)

Really, really good job, SONY !!

Hi,

i have problem with unbricking 4x. Was trying to repair not working sensors on Android P, and did a full wipe, factore reset etc. I think that I've broke some partition persist layout.

My phone is bootlooping all the time now after mi logo, on lineage os it is loading all the time.

For now i cant mount persist partiton in twrp, cant erase persist, cant flash persist via fastboot, cant flash fastboot firmware via EDL, because i am getting error at the beginning. I can flash rom via Miflash but after 5 min during installating phone is restarting and it getting bootlooping (installation isnt finished).

Please help, i was rooting many phones in my life and its my first hardbrick :/

Anyone could sent me backup of persist partion from twrp?

For a working init.d support by this method you have to be rooted with latest SuperSU by Chainfire...

This will work any KitKat device that is rooted with latest SuperSU....

After flashing the below and reboot, you will see a file in /data/initd_test.log confirming that init.d scripts are being executed on boot...

This does not require any busybox..

This will not modify any file but add a folder and a file /system/su.d/init.sh ......

In my opinion this is safe method since it does not modifies any important files...

All scripts in init.d will set to chmod 755 on every boot
