From comments:

Xiaomi 13 Ultra isn't properly compliant with LENS_INFO_AVAILABLE_APERTURES, doesn't list the f/4.0 setting.
But funnily enough, it lets you use LENS_APERTURE regardless.

This is new to me, so may as well be new to you. Finally you can build your own LOS conveniently with firmware images.

We're in 2023 and OEMs still limit their stock cam manual mode to those "exposure time offered on old ass physical shutter DSLR" levels, despite freely and often using shorter exposure times in broad daylight while in auto.
🤦‍♂️

does anyone have an idea of 5g SA crashing the selfie cam?

[ 63.301897] CAM_ERR: CAM-ISP: cam_ife_csid_irq: 5016 CSID:2 RX_ERROR_LANE0_FIFO_OVERFLOW: Skew/Less Data on lanes/ Slow csid clock:300000000Hz

That's damn impressive as hell

Probably affects stock too, no?

Yep

Yay

mind blowing shit

My take on the fake moon from Samsung

Just wanted to add some stuff on this "hot" topic.

In short, I managed to obtain a moon by starting with something that isn't even a moon.

I just made a white circle in Photoshop and brushed it a little. Then I also rotated it and created artifacts that would never appear on the moon (through clone-stamp tool).

The picture VS the result

More details, including the files and a video of me producing the image: https://imgur.com/gallery/9uW1JNp

Surprising that I didn't forward it here earlier... The algo used on the Moon by Samsung doesn't stamp any moon.png on your picture. It just converts blurry splotches to crater-like texture. It tricks the eye enough, as it creates these "sharp elements" you're normally looking for on the moon, while avoiding the most obvious artifacts of local tone mapping and sharpening. To me, it still counts as fake, but same can be said about any image processing algo capable of misrepresenting the original picture by trying to guess way too much.

This app will keep crashing your Android 13 device right after first unlock until you get rid of it through ADB, safe mode or from custom recovery with decryption support ;)

Ah, you gotta disable Play Protect first if you have it, as it seems to crash from failing to comprehend the apk.

I'm nearly two months late to the news, but imagine any serious government saying that they banned an app built to work completely offline, and when using the online mode, working just over Tor. If anything, mentioning a Briar ban is an advertisement for Briar, as any sane (not iOS) mobile OS is able to share and sideload the binary, while any proxy that gets your packets out of the country will let you access Tor, assuming Tor entry nodes are even banned at all...
