🚀 CameraTools v1.3.0: Universal AOSP ROM & Framework Hooks Pre-Release

Welcome to CameraTools v1.3.0! This major milestone expands compatibility beyond stock MIUI/HyperOS to custom AOSP ROMs and alternative camera applications.

🔑 Important: Superuser (Root) Permissions Required

CameraTools requires and utilizes Root Access (Magisk / KernelSU / APatch). When launching the app, please tap Grant / Always Allow:

  • Direct Sandbox Preference Sync: Seamlessly syncs configuration XML files into the target camera application's private directory (/data/data/com.android.camera/shared_prefs/), bypassing Android 13/14 cross-package SELinux restrictions.
  • Instant One-Click Camera Restart: Tapping Restart Camera runs su -c am force-stop on target camera packages so newly enabled features apply instantly without rebooting the phone.

🌟 What's New & Highlighted Features

1. Universal Android Framework (android.hardware.camera2 & android.media) Hooks

  • CameraTools now hooks directly into Android Framework classes (CameraCharacteristics, MediaRecorder, CamcorderProfile, PowerManager).
  • Enables features across Xiaomi Camera, Google Camera (GCam) ports, and AOSP Camera apps.

2. Expanded Camera Ecosystem Support

  • Xiaomi Official & Ported MiuiCamera (com.android.camera, com.miui.camera on HyperOS, MIUI, or ported to LineageOS/crDroid)
  • Google Camera (GCam) Ports (BSG MGC, AGC, Shamim SGCAM, Snapcam)
  • Standard AOSP Cameras (Aperture, Open Camera, AOSP Camera2)

3. Core Feature Suite

  • 🎥 4K 60FPS Video Recording: Smooth 4K recording at 60 FPS on the rear Sony IMX766 sensor.
  • 🎬 150 Mbps Cinematic Bitrate: Studio broadcast-grade bitrate for pristine video capture.
  • 🎞️ 50MP Full Bayer RAW Capture (DNG): True uncompressed 50MP RAW in Pro Mode.
  • 🔴 Leica Authentic & Vibrant Profiles: Official Leica color tuning and Leica watermarks unlocked without region restrictions.
  • 👥 Dual-Camera Concurrent Stream (Director Mode 204): Simultaneous front and rear sensor capture with MediaTek PIP vendor tag support.
  • ⏱️ Extended Pro Exposure Range (60s – 1/16000s): Ultra-long 60s shutter for astrophotography down to 1/16000s for freezing action.
  • ❄️ Hardware Thermal Warning & Forced Shutdown Bypass: Neutralizes thermal throttling so recording never stops due to device temperature.
  • 🔍 50MP Normal Photo Mode: Seamless MediaTek ISP hardware remosaicing in standard Photo mode (strictly bound to rear Camera 0).

📢 Calling AOSP ROM Testers!
