Google Camera pink tint fix for Omnivision sensors(MIDO)

[ImQseft]

My front camera is Samsung and I have a modded gcam with HDR+ enabled in front camera. Based on my tests, force enabled HDR+ on a Samsung sensor does not crash the camera even in good lightning conditions.

Would it help if I send you a logcat of the crash?

Is the camera crash when forced HDR+ on good lighting omnivision specific bug or does it affect all mido devices?

I have mido with sony and omni...
In sony you can force hdr+ in any light condition without problem
In omni, it doesn't work on bright light... Its funny that low light picture is better than bright light.

No it wouldn't help. Sorry I'm not a developer so I can't do anything about the crashes.

My Omni works great with HDR+ in good light on HBL64 gcam with stock library. And that's completely unclear, why it crashes or freezes for other guys?

Cause HDR+ is set to auto by default. The app checks the lighting condition before taking a shot and automatically turns off HDR+ when lighting condition is good.

Here's a good way to test it: Set HDR+ to enhanced and it will force HDR+ to always ON. Take a direct shot of a white light bulb (while it's turned on obviously) and you'll see that the shutter button gets stuck and not respond. Restarting the app is the only way to fix it.

No, it isn't, I need HDR+ so I always set it to Enhanced to make HDR+ forcibly anyway.

And my gcam really makes it in good light, with the capture cycle and photo processing afterwards.

No, you may go to frontal or to video, or to settings and then return back. It unfreezes the capture button without the app restarting.

So yours doesn't get stuck when taking a direct shot of a white light bulb?

Mine doesn't really crash in every good lighting condition but it crashes when pictures are taken on subjects that are against bright lights example: pics taken outside on a bright sunny day.

No, and at sunlight it works too.

After install the pink tint fix, the google camera app and some other apps' data will gone after killing the app or reboot the phone. The problem solved after wipe the data partition. Maybe can try to wipe cache or data for app crash or other strange problem. (I'm installing this on LOS 14.1)

I just tried this using the app posted by user romeocharliegolf and I didn't experience any problem.

Mido on miui 8.5.4.0 and Omnivision sensor.

?

I'm on dev MIUI v7.10.19.

So it's a rom issue then? I'm on AEX 4.5. I'll try to flash MIUI rom later and see if it's gonna be fixed.

May I ask what your config is?

 

[sheeeple00]

May I ask what your config is?

Model: pixel XL (Corr)
Config: Nexus 6p
HDR params: super high

Though I've tried other configurations too (with hdr enhanced always on).

Are you having the crashing problem too? Can you post your config? I'll test it out on my device.

Yeah I am. I am constantly changing configs to try and fix the issue and as of now, gcam is not my primary cam yet because of this issue so I can't really give you an exact params to check. If you use the flashable zip fix instead of the hard codes fix, does it still work? No crashes?

Regardless of the fix, I still get crashes in good lighting conditions. Issue persists even if cam libs are not modified. I have yet to test in MIUI though.

Again it only crashes/gets stucked if the subject is under a bright light i.e. taking a photo of a person against under direct sunlight. If it's not bright enough, it will not crash and HDR+(forced) functions properly.

Did you guys try to wipe cash/dalvik?

Yep. Still nothing.

Custom ROM are still using old omnivision blobs because of kernel imcompatibility with the new blobs in recent version of MIUI.
I think thats the problem...

We need to get the updated kernel changes, so dev can use new omnivision blobs
We can push xiaomi to release the updated source, @highwaystar_ru already ask for it but seems like it's useless.
I've created query about this pink problem in MIUI bugs months ago, it gets many support but those miui guys does not care...

Hopefully someone smarter jump again to correct the blobs / kernel source ...
