[Q] How to Disable Bravia Engine

Hi! I had Xperia ICS #5 rom and it had both Bravia engine and XLoud. After my screen gets darker everytime im on the middle of the screen and some where else. Later i switched rom to Windroid Mango-bread 2.3.7 and i want to disable the bravia engine because i dont like it.

Why u made 2 thhreads on same topic
wanna thank xda? here

one thing happened

You can't disable it, because NOBODY CAN ENABLE IT. Lot of developer advertise her/his rom with "Bravia Engine", but it never work.
The Bravia Engine is an image enhancement method, need something to work:
- support in the rom (swiqiservice and other java classes, this is possible)
- an app what use it (only one exists: the official 2.3+ SEMC gallery apps, this is need lot of things to work)
- the binary what make the image enhancement (libbmpconv.so this is available for armv7 with neon instruction set only, so this is NOT working on x8)

This is looks like a problem with autobrightness (the brightness level changing without any reason). Try to enable/disable autobrightness and adjust the custom brightness levels manually.

MOD[Camera] Less Aggressive Sharpening | Noise Reduction

I've modified the calibration on the g5+ I've reduced noise reduction strength by using the calibration from the Google pixel also disabled luminance noise reduction left only color so image maybe a lil grainy.
In the chromatix libs I've disabled
Adaptive Bayer Filter - Blurs the image
ASF 5*5 7*7 9*9 - Sharpness the image
Chroma Suppression
CAC
To copy libs use Solid Explorer to copy the libchromatix to /system/vendor/lib/
The libmm lib also goes in the same vendor lib folder
Use Case Test it in low light it Bins the sensor in sum mode to collect more light by merging pixel charges but because binned the image res is reduced to to 2016 x 1512
I would backup your stock files before copying new ones happy testing

I'm on a limited mobile connection I have after photos tho if on telegram I can forward them to you.
But you can test the libs and see solid explorer works best as it auto changes permissions so you don't need to

OK, so, in DU and stock, moto camera get a max image size of 2 mpx... Google camera works ok in resolution terms.

this is to be used in low light it increases sensor sensitivity by binning
only chromatix file are needed to fix sharpness and nr

You were right... Fixed it and works as expected​

Also, here you have a flashable zip if you don't care... This one is without libmm.

Awesome you can post sample shots in this thread too:good:

Please someone post before and after images

Made a few scripts to inject these files without rebooting.
I don't know why but it returns a lot of errors messages but it works nonetheless
I have added shortcuts of these scripts using FX file manager. So I can enable and disable these mods from a tap.

You think this could be done even on other devices?

Maybe in the weekend I will post a how to. I use Hex Workshop and manually map all the values I've mapped CPP fully 3A Partially ISP only important bits related to sharpening and blurring from there I can disable PR adjust strength I usually just disable them as the images work better for post processing applying filters etc

Definitely post a How-To - those photos look superb!
p.s. Does this require a ROM? Or would rooted Stock do? Thanks!

Should work in any ROM as there is nothing special done that would require a specific ROM. In fact you could duplicate these changes on another device with same chromatix version ie op3t pixel mi5 v20 mi5s etc

Can I use this mod on Moto Z Play?

This should work on Moto Z Play, right ?

Take photos of low light

Low light photography for higher resolution than the default.

Newbie questions:
-What Gcam is this for?
-If I import this, will it only add the changes for low light or will it overwrite all settings?

Take photos when the light is low, the default camera will give low resolution. And this will give higher image resolution should look clearer.

So what Gcam version will this work with?

My experience is the Gcam apps don't use the camera config xml, only the oem camera app that comes with the lgv30. The Gcam ports, some of them, have 'night vision', which work very well in low light shots.

How would one even apply this to the default camera?

That would depend on your phones setup, but, most have rooted devices with magisk installed. If that's the case for you, then you'd have to have a magisk module that would 'seamlessly' make the changes in your root directory.
In this link I created a module for the 4k video 60fps change. It would be pretty easy for someone to modify the config xml in that module and apply this change.
cheers

Would it be as simple as deleting the folders containing media details XML and replacing the camera config with this one?
