[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Agentv001:
The stock camera app of Nord 2 is ****. It over processes the images and the photos don't look like they are taken from a 50MP camera.

Any suggestions on what to do or some good GCam you can suggest?
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] blackhawk:
Some examples? High mp sensors suffer in low light and have a more shallow depth of field especially up close to subjects. An accurate AF lock is important because of the narrow DOF; example, always try to get a AF lock on the subject's closest eye when shooting a face.

Adjust your shooting style according to the camera's strengths and weaknesses. See as the camera sees not as your eyes see. Human vision has exponentially more processing power and an incredible imaging system more so than any camera.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] dead_seth:
I want a proper gcam version if available or any better alternative that stock.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Pouic:
Always disable HDR option and pictures will look a lot better (sadly the app doesn't remember this setting so you have to turn it off each time) . The HDR process in the Nord 2 is absolutely awful .
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Pumpino:
Download the first file in this link. Photos taken with the primary camera will be much better, though I don't think Night Sight works. https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-wichaya/f/dl5/
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] xphyle1971:
DISABLE HDR. It's a known issue.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] .wojtek:
But you can't disable HDR when taking photos directly in other apps (whatsapp, telegram, etc)? I had OP8T and it had same issue and I had returned it...
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Wacky_Wabbit:
GCam won't give you 50MP. AFAIK the only way to get 50MP on stock Nord 2 is by using the Extra HD feature in the stock camera app.

I'm curious to know if people with rooted devices have this capability enabled in the API. Let us know please
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Pouic:
I don't think HDR and other processing options are enabled for 3rd party apps (same goes for the ultrawide lens, you can't use it in other apps) for me whatsapp and telegram pictures look good (but they are heavily compressed)

50Mpx is available in some GCAm versions (Wichaya and Nikita if I remember correctly, BSG and Greatness don't have the full resolution option) , but the 50mpx full resolution of the sensor is totally useless (not only with the nord 2 , but generaly with all other phones) , 12mpx pixel bining gives you better image processing, less noise , etc... a quick look at the reviews explain very clearly why is not a good idea to use the full resolution (50, 108mpx etc...) of a phone sensor.

Personally I use the BSG 8.4 v10 version and pictures are great, Google HDR+ implementation give a lot better results than stock app
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Wacky_Wabbit:
Was this on stock or rooted? Btw for me the 4:1 binning is not something desirable since I stack very low light photos, run my own denoising and various other process. Hence why I need the full sensor data made available to apps like OpenCamera
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] .wojtek:
Yes, IM apps do compress photos but that's different story than colour fidelity. In my time with 8T the colours in photo app and telegram/whatsapp were simply blown out of proportion: something normal-red in real life was glowing like burning Mars in 8T photos. After disabling HDR in camera app the photos looked ok (though still overprocessed hence IMHO OP3 photos looked better!) but in whatsapp/telegram I still had same issue with stupid extreme colours...

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] callingrohit:
Hello All,

I have read the beginners guide and searched. Didn't find an answered so posting my problem.

I recently bought the HTC Touch Pro. Before that I had a SE k610i. So I transferred my contacts into the sim and then when I plugged the sim into the HTC TP, i asked it to copy to my contacts.

What I then saw was all my contacts were severely messed up. such as ;lastname;firstname\1 and so on. Obviously on k610i I had saved 2-3 numbers for each person so I can understand the \1 or \2 but the rest is unbelievable.

Can someone please guide me how to correct this because I'm unable to locate a setting to change in the HTC TP.

Thanks

Vivek
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] arcanehacker:
Its how a SE phone saves the contacts.. I don't think you can do anything now besides syncing it back to Outlook and then ammend from there.

Or maybe you could sync your SE phone to Outlook. Verify that the first name, last name, and contact details are correct. If they are in the wrong order to begin with, means you have keyed in wrongly on your SE phone. If its ok in Outlook, then just sync it back to your PPC.

And I would suggest use Outloook as a base to sync all your phones.. Its much cleaner that way.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] bigb252:
Yep, thats just how SE does things. It did the same thing on my Motorolas, and on my Samsungs...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] kingjack:
Migrating contacts between SE and Touch Pro

i totally disagree with tht......i owned a SE P990i before Touch Pro and problems arising bcos of migration of contacts is bcos of Touch Pro or to put it better, Windows Mobile platform.......

WM 6 allows only 1 number entry as Mobile, hence if u have more than 2 numbers stored as Mobile in SE phone, only 1 will be transferred.....no matter which way u use.....

WM 6.0 allows only Mobile Number to be used as text messaging number....only work arnd is to save othr mobile number as work, dial it and frm call history, send sms.......

to Sync contacts between SE and Touch Pro, best way is to sync SE contacts with Outlook (select options in Outlook to store contacts as First Name, Last name or vice versa depending on ur choice) and same way, it wil be uploaded in Touch Pro.......

another thng is,, with SE, you can select Custom folder in Outlook to be synced, but Touch Pro uses default folder of Outlook (Active Profile)......so be carefull

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] callingrohit:
Thank you all for your comments.

Well I had a k610i and there was no sync option on it atleast that I know off. And anyways I don't like sync with outlook. I like to keep my email contacts and the phone contacts seperate. I don't want to have a 3rd issue develop here..... :)

So anyways I have realised that one way or the other I would need to edit all of them one by one to correct them on my HTC. Also, on my k610i the contacts were saved properly but HTC see's contacts very differently. So what I plan to do is take a contacts backup using PIMbackup. Once its in CSV format, I'll modify it there and restore it back rather than doing it from outlook or on the phone directly.

I wish there was an easy way such as a setting where one could choose how to display the contact names and numbers. Something I really feel HTC Touch Pro lacks.

Anyways hopefully for future users of HTC Touch Pro, there will be someone intelligent enough to create a software/global settings that would allow one to do this on the phone....

thank you once again

Regards

vivek
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Hatemd:
I had the same issue afew years back when i dropped my P900i.

as Kingjack mentioned it's becuase WM platform as well as Microsft outlook way of saving contacts is not the best (or let's say the flexible) way. SE is much more flexible and better...

however, Callingrohit needs to make his new TP usable and loaded with his contatcs..

a few years back i did it as follows: (it's a long way but effective).

- Have a software to backup contacts from your SE and save it as CSV or XLS file.

- from your outlook, save contacts as CSV or xls also.

- Manually compare the columns/format of both files, and try to manupilate the SE.CSV to look like the outlook one.

- import the new SE.CSV into outlook contacts.

now you should have all your contacts in outlook, then you can easily use the Active sync with your TP.

hope this is not too complicated.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Hatemd:
Sorry Vivek, i didn't read your last message...

http://my-symbian.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=37784&start=100&sid=c0d5ae68fa4412adce277da7e4c6fe69

I guess, the best way i fugured out till now is to sync using Outlook and then edit each contact having multiple mobil fields....

i will try method suggested by hatemd also :)

ne one has any idea, if someone is working on improving the contacts native form on WM or any other application which allows multiple mobile numbers
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] _rav:
I migrate myself from k610i to TPro. There's a great piece of soft for SE phones (MyPhoneExplorer) - I used this to sync SE with Outlook and then Outlook with HTC via ActiveSync. It went ok.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] callingrohit:
No problem Hatemd. Thank you for your reply. Also, thanks to kingjack.

Finally I gave up and found that editing the CSV file is too much work as compared to editing contact fields via outlook. So I have finally sync the contacts of my HTC into a new general profile of outlook (no email address configured) and then edited all my contacts and sync'd them back onto my HTC. Now I'm able to see them correctly. :D ...finally

But then I realised the SIM contacts are also visible under my HTC contacts menu and so deleted all the SIM contacts as they were still in the bad format as it came from the SE k610i.

I'm going to use MyPhoneExplorer for SE as suggested by _rav. Thank you for that didn't know it existed. I'll use it and convert my SE contacts properly too...

But now my main concern is I would always like to have a backup of all my HTC contacts in my SIM card too but the moment I copy even a single contact into the SIM card, it starts showing up under the contacts menu and then I have duplicate contacts which is kinda distracting and annoying.

Is there a tweak or some setting to avoid the SIM contacts from being visible in the HTC contacts menu but at the same time allowing me to copy all the HTC contacts into the SIM card.

Thanks

Vivek
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Hatemd:
Don't know about the tweak, but anyway you'll still face a problem if you save serveal numbers/details for each name.

this won't be applicable for SIM cards.

[Magisk] mlgmxyysd:
The author of Magisk Alpha is extremely untrustworthy. It is highly recommended to use the official version.
[Magisk] 73sydney:
imma add my 5 cents worth, fwiw

magisk alpha was a good and useful fork (along with custom) after TopJohnWu announced he was removing magiskhide in line with his job at Google and people lost their collective shizz, even though common sense should have told them this was needed and sane. Many of us appreciated the hard work of the alpha and custom devs, but at some point, as announced again by TJW, other hiding methods would come to fruition. And they have. Not to in anyway to devalue the contribution of alpha and custom devs, but there was always goign to be a point where mainstream magisk/magisk canary was going consolidate the attention and focus of the userbase and senior members here long into magisk, again. i for one dont miss testing/switching between 4 different forks anymore. magisk alpha was my chosen fork for a long time

Magisk Alpha is fine to use as long as you understand its shoehorning in things removed from the mainstream magisk, and that was certainly appreciated at times, but those could cease to work, introduce issues not present in mainstream magisk leading to people expecting support from the main magisk threads where it would make life harder for those trying to answer questions. so temper your expectations those of you who choose to use.

For my 5 cents, id recommend using mainstream magisk, unless you have an edge case where it doesnt work, at which point ordinarily, one would file on issue on github

As for the alpha devs personality, ill admit, it could be variable at times :)

[Magisk] dr4go:
To be very honest: I hate this childish behavior of developers bashing developers.

I love both your work and the work of the LSposed developers and I have donated to both of you. Just because developers could document / announce better there's no need to move against each other.

The reason why I use Alpha is exactly, because of the removal of MagiskHide and John's involvement with Google. imho that's just gonna hurt Magisk in the end.

And your words also mean basically stay away of Shamiko. That's not gonna happen. Unfortunately Google went down that rabbithole against rooting, etc., which is why I'm still very unsure whether I even keep rooting my phones from now on...
[Magisk] Stillhard:
You missed the point that alpha is a personal fork, Shamiko is a team of dev work (LSPosed team), alpha's author is one of them, don't scramble between them.
[Magisk] Homeboy76:
Any help with Magisk alpha is greatly appreciated. :)
[Magisk] shoey63:
For all intents and purposes, once you enable zygisk thereby removing Magisk Hide functionality, the Alpha fork is the same as the official build.

But with one key difference.

The app and package name are different, so no need to hide it. Or for that matter remember to unhide it before an update "just in case"

This is why I use it.
[Magisk] pndwal:
👍

Disagree. However, isn't MagiskHide gone from alpha now?

When? What? Where?... Think you're a bit confused... But you wouldn't be the first. 😜

Of course you can!... Who's going to stop you?... Unless you buy late Huawei! PW
[Magisk] dr4go:
I never intended to - sorry if that was suggested. I just meant: if one of the developers of Shamiko isn't trusted and it's closed source, would you use it?
[Magisk] dr4go:
Yes it is. There is still a fork around that uses it, but not Alpha.

See previous post. I am definitely confused, but not regarding that. 😜
