Raw Dumper 2.3.0

Now is time for another release! The main improvement here is the new auto white balance algorithm that uses the low-level AWB sensor gains! The white balance results are better than never! Other new features: the pictures are now properly rotated and the pictures taken with the front camera are also mirrored.

Note 0: The app still requires ROOT
Note 1: The white balance button is greyed out because it isn't ready yet!
Note 2: Zenfone 2 users using custom roms need a patched camera lib
Note 3: Zenfone 5 and Razr I compatibility is still experimental
Note 4: I'm not responsible for bricked phones, broken phones/cameras/images or thermonuclear war

Features:

  • Raw shooting on the Zenfone 2 (Zenfone Zoom, Zenfone 5 and Razr I needs more testing, but they should work)
  • Manual ISO, shutter speed and EV on some devices
  • Setting an invalid ISO/Shutter speed/EV combination is not possible (try setting ISO 50, 1/60s and -1 EV and see what happens)
  • Auto, continuous, macro, infinity, fixed and manual focus modes (on some devices)
  • ISO and shutter speed metering
  • Touch to focus
  • Basic lens shading correction
  • Gain-based white balance algorithm
  • Pictures auto rotation
  • Mirroring of pictures taken with selfie cam

Known bugs:

  • (Minor) The space between the buttons is too small when the shutter is set to 1/10000
  • (Minor) When displaying dialog alerts, the app can get out from the fullscreen state if the user switches to another app and then comes back
  • (Minor) The touch focus feedback sometimes appears in the wrong position
  • (Not so minor) The selector interface for ISO/shutter speed/EV is quite buggy sometimes
  • Sometimes the app crashes when starting due to a not-so-rare race condition
