B387 update - Adds Monochrome mode in Camera

[supamike]

Hi Guys,
I just got a new update (Chinese version) : B387

Here are the new modes they have added : Watermark and Monochrome :

Here is a quick test I've made :

The one in the middle is the "ND" filter mode, and the one on the right is the new Monochrome mode.
It's not super obvious, but I just found out that the ISO is often smaller with the Monochrome mode.

Another thing, in the Photo or Pro Photo mode, if I cover the right lens with my finger, it just says "lenses must not be covered..." but my screen is not covered and I can still take the picture.
In Monochrome mode, if I cover the right lens, I can see my finger.

Is it finally the real monochrome mode like the Huawei P9 ?

I think so! Finally we can take pictures with the secondary lens :laugh:

However, I'd really like to have your opinion about battery life the update says "optimizes power consumption for extended use", so I hope there are some changes. I've had enough with the "Android System" sucking up +20% of my battery juice.

I can't say much about the battery life yet, I just got the update 3 hours ago. I will see after a couple of days.

And about this Monochrome mode, there is no settings, it's just like the auto mode. We can't change the ISO or whatever.

Can you extract the camera apk in order to share the new version with monocrome shot?

My phone is not rooted so I don't think I am able to do that.

It's not a problem. Just download root browser from play store. It is still working on emui 5.

Can you include a few other files as well? Everything in these directories:

- /system/priv-app/HWCamera2/
- /system/cameraplugins/
- /system/etc/camera/
- /system/etc/media_profiles.xml

I don't know which of those (if any) would require root access, so if you can pull them all and upload them it would be a big help since we don't know yet what all drives monochrome mode.

Awesome, thank you! I'll be making a Magisk module out of this to test it.

It appears that your ROM is odexed. If you're up for it, you can generated a deodexed version of the APK here (would make the camera usable for others):
