As we all know by now, the new update(INT.10.5.11/EU.10.5.10) changed how the photochrom work
now, it's working with the main sensor, and act like a filter, it's working only outdoor, with a minor effect
The new photochrom is like 10% of what it used to be.
I'm trying to re-enable the full Photochrom experience
For now, I've had tried these three ways to re-enable it, and NONE of if work
I tried to replace the OnePlusCamera.apk to the older version, doesn't work
I tried to replace these following files from vendor to the older version
Code:
but still, doesn't work.
And I can also confirm, the "fake device model" method doesn't work either.
(for IN2020 Chinese model, it fake the device model to other region, so it won't block the photochrom filter, work at EU.10.5.9/INT.10.5.10 for IN2020)
I can't seems to figure out what is changed between this & last update, that changed the photochrom behavior
If anyone can get it woking again, please let me know
BTW, the whole privacy concern is just nonsense, IT CAN'T SEE THROUGH CLOUTHES
Otherwise, you'll be naked every time you see a security cam, coz those things got IR too
OnePlus shouldn't disable/crippled a camera sensor on our phone, just for their own PR
UPDATE
The latest workaround is to use the FactoryMode app to "Test" the camera
First method is to unlock the FactoryMode
Follow this thread: [GUIDE] Unlock Factory Mode *root*
Then you can launch the camera test/camera preview in FactoryMode
Another way is to directly launch the CameraManualTest with adb command/local shell
These are still just workaround with FactoryMode, hope to see the original build-in camera method soon
