Got a rooted vk815 and have been digging into the camera capabilities and settings on the device and on Qualcomm and Android Developer websites.
Anyone know if
It's possible to change the vk815 capabilities (for example, enable changing white balance and exposure) via the camera_config.xml file?
What part of the device controls the available camera settings?
I've dug through Qualcomm chipset specs and the most information I've found is that the ISP determines the resolution and auto-focus, but I've not definitively found out whether it's carrier software, device or hardware manufacturer that's responsible for the other capabilities.
Anyone? Should this be in a different forum?
Posts that are in the Q&A format (not just that it's in the Q&A section) aren't displayable in TapaTalk. I can't speak for anyone else, but when I enter Q&A format threads in TT, it prompts me to load the thread in a browser because TT isn't capable, and I wasn't willing just yet since I didn't think I'd have anything valuable to contribute anyway, but now that I'm on a PC, I thought I'd tell you in case that's why no one's answered (possibly all on TT and too lazy like me to load the thread in a browser while mobile).

@xdabbeb might have the needed knowledge about LG camera hardware/software since he makes the X-Cam app for stock G3.

Searched high and low for this but have not found a guide for setting this up.
1. I need this as a way to use two Google Voice accounts on the same Android device. One GV number for work and one personal. (Ironically this is the only reason I still use my iPhone as my primary cell phone.)
2. I would love to setup a third profile for my 10 month old daughter so she can play with the phone and not have me worry that she is accessing/modifying/deleting sensitive information.

Looks like you are right. Its too bad. This is such a KILLER feature! I hope there is a way to side load this on to the nexus. Maybe flash it with a Tablet ROM or some other custom ROM?
top feature
Any unofficial choice ? Pleaseee )
its only for tabs and not for phones.. the only way to use it on the gnex is to flash pa which has this feature added

is it the PA 2.99+1??
Code:
/frameworks/base/core/res/res/values/config.xml
<!-- Maximum number of supported users -->
<integer name="config_multiuserMaximumUsers">[COLOR="Red"]1[/COLOR]</integer>
Change the number to whichever you like.
Code:
/frameworks/base/core/java/android/os/UserManager.java
public static int getMaxSupportedUsers() {
// Don't allow multiple users on certain builds
if (android.os.Build.ID.startsWith("[COLOR="Red"]JVP[/COLOR]")) return [COLOR="Red"]1[/COLOR];
return SystemProperties.getInt("fw.max_users",
Resources.getSystem().getInteger(R.integer.config_multiuserMaximumUsers));
}
Either change JVP to something else, or change the number.
Good luck.
Go vote up the feature request (cause I'd love to have it on my phone as well for my baby to play with):
https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-139
I also took tristan202's post and commented on the ticket as well.
There are mods that enable it. But there are also apps. Try this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5hcHBhaG9saWNzLnVtIl0.
Or this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.sferadev.multipleuser
Thanks. The first one looks like a hack for 4.1, then again I just skipped 4.1 and went straight to 4.2 from 4.0.
I wonder how he did the 2nd one, since it is java code than needs to change and be recompiled. Then again, I am not an Android developer (yet - this may make me pull the branch and patch it myself). So this may be compiled in the Java VM on-boot-if-changed and cached for reuse. That would allow anyone to change it via ADB.
Think I'll try that myself.
I wonder why it was disabled for devices with phones.
People on tablets report a perfect user experience switching between users on 4.2 and keeping everything separate, including the apps and settings.
So if that was the case, and a phone call was received when User B was using User A (aka "Primary User" for 4.2 multi user setups), what do u think would happen?
What about an SMS or even MMS that allows saving of attachments?
Clearly those are intended for the "primary user" account on that phone. But the saving of user data gets changed under multi-user mode to those virtual aliases like:
/storage/emulated/0/
/storage/emulated/1/
Etc.
Clearly this may have issues when devices with cellular radios in them and receiving calls and SMS/MMS.
Maybe that is why?
---------- Post added at 10:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 AM ----------
Also, if logged into one account and "switching" to another, it can take 3-8 seconds. And that is on the tablets with faster ram and cpus than our phones.
The idea of "switching" when ur phone is ringing might not be viable.

Hi folks,
I'm the owner of an M8 and one of the things that made my decision to go with the phone was the remote control app.
I've never used the EPG function and just went with TV provider not listed to get access to just the remote functionality. Now they've stopped us from doing that, just to add a new room or remote.
Here's what I want to ask the forum. With the tools that we have as a community, we're able to unpack and modify Android apps. What I want to do is remove the area/post code part of the setup and drop users into adding a remote/room and it just be an app that just does the remote function alone
1, is this a worthwhile endeavour?
2, what are the legal aspects of this?
3, would I be able to post it on here as well as on Google Play?
I would like to release it on Play for other users to use, but that could get me into some legal issues unless I remove all references to HTC, but that is immoral and I'm not keen on that idea. Please reply with any ideas on how I should go about this. Am I able to do anything on the back of them abandoning it?
Mods: I'm not sure if this is in the right place, so please move it if required.
If it's free, u could always post it in the apps & games section of XDA.

Hi everyone! I'm new here and need a bit of help.
I run a news website, with daily articles and occasional reviews. The site is already responsive. I would like to develop a multiplatform app for it but I don't want something simple like those app generators.
Firstly, all I want is my latest articles to be pulled from an RSS feed and shown in the app. Later, I would like to allow readers to comment and post on my forum.
Now I don't want them to load the pages or use a browser. Everything should be done in the app and then stored on their devices (Like the Android Central app). I would like to start developing for Android first but have no idea how to start. I have some knowledge in HTML and CSS, would that help?
Thanks.
You can go for Phonegap

I like appery.io. It uses PhoneGap in the projects so they can be multiplatform. The projects are easily available and editable through webbrowser. Also testing the applications is super convenient :good:

Of course you need some programming skills for this, but they have some tutorials so you can learn as you build the application.

Hey Everyone,
I just picked up a shiny new Alcatel Idol 4S with Windows 10 for $288 from T-Mobile US.
Some interesting things out of the gate:
1. I was browsing the ROM, and it has a "Field test" app that uses InteropServices.
2. It uses the Lightning bolt and Gear screen to flash with WDRT.
3. There are two PROVXML files baked in the ROM to remove "Nokia Glance Screen" and "Nokia Feedback App". They don't appear to be present in the rom though.
4. From looking in the "Device Platform ID", there is no difference between the T-Mobile-Branded one and the unlocked one. It is "ALCATEL.8996.IDOL4S".
5. the partition layout is "Different" than the non SD820 phones.
6. perhaps most interestingly, the phone appears to be 100% identical to the TCL 950 Android phone. right down to the supported bands! http://www.tclmobile.com.cn/index.php?g=Content&m=Products&a=detail&tp=TCL950_overview
I'll update with more after I unbox it.
*Update 1*
1. Now that I have the phone, they have a rather extensive testmode app. It can be launched from the dialer via ##2886#
2. I was able to install Interop Tools and follow the process outlined under "For All Other OEM Devices" to get full reg access. I then changed my MTP root to C:\
I need the open market FFU. Any sign of that yet or anywhere?

Yes. Same here. So interestingly just for kicks I tested the t-mobile ffu. FYI: It flashed no problem on my unlocked model.

If you can log the updates can be very helpful .
for example update log from 10586 to 14393
@compu829
As far as the prov xml goes. Glance being removed, does that mean it removes all drivers. dll files, packages, registry entries, etc..?
Do you see any reason the screen hardware would not be capable to run glance? Before I returned my last 6071w I had glance installed, but obviously not working...but I had not spent more than a day working on it. I re-ordered one off Amazon since they were cheaper there, and it should arrive today some time.
Can you share any other findings you have come across?...thanks.
I've been wanting to try a few things on the unlocked model, but the FFU file for it is still not up. Any news?

Any updates on the idol 4s windows phone? I want to ditch windows mobile and get android on here but it looks like there hasnt been much on that front anywhere from what Ive found

Ok. @ngame What's the best way to capture that information, field medic or through system file access? Point me to where I can find that out. With the next release coming in a couple of months I would like to log the info.
I was wondering if any of you gifted modders might be able to enhance the camera software/firmware? Being able to produce RAW images would be nice, for a start.
Thanks

The camera hw is more than capable, but needs tons of tuning. We would only be limited to regedits for now, which do not add up to much. It really needs a fw tweak or update to improve most of the areas. RAW images though can be generated with out much mods like that. I believe the camera app Proshot allows images produced/saved in raw mode.

I was able to find one tweak for the Default Camera app. Let me know if you see any other changes from this tweak besides the obvious Capture Living Images being enabled.
After adding the below keys and values I enabled the Capture Living Images option in my default camera for the Idol 4s
Add Key:
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\Nokia\Camera]
Name: Barc
Added these values:
BarcVersion String=101.1
DNGDisabled Dword=0
IsEnabled Dword=1
support still?
would like to know if this is still supported and if your working on this at all ? i bought this phone almost a month ago and looking foward to anything new that you guys might put out

This has led to an issue for flashing the open market FFU btw. Since the current PLAT ID of both phones are the same, and the Open market FFU is identifiable by PLAT ID ALCATEL.8996.IDOL4S.NA

In my spare time I found out a way to enable AT&T VoLTE Services for this phone. Been testing it out the past couple of days...But I am not officially working on this...
In fact, the method I used should work for any current Windows 10 mobile phone, but I only have a 950XL and IDOL4s to test on.
Can you please share the steps regarding how to enable VOLTE on IDOL 4S?
Thanks a lot.

Hi
I just flashed my Samsung Galaxy S3 with LineageOS 14.1 (lineage-14.1-20190117-nightly-i9300-signed) i'm having a few problems with the camera and geolocation.
Also flashed GAPPS (open_gapps-arm-7.1-nano-20190209)
When i use the default lineage camera app i get a lot of flickering, i found out by installing "open camera" i could change to 50hz and the flickering goes away.
Is there a way to change this also in the default camera app? maybe there is a better alternative for a app, i'm not really a fan of open camera, and it is a problem because snapchat still use the default app.
My other problem is geolocation is not working even though i installed gapps, when i start my weather app or any other app that needs location it detects my location to be in sweden, even though i live in denmark.
It works fine with GPS enable, but at the cost of battery, i prefer using the option where it detects the location through wifi.
am i missing something or is these options simply not working right now?
