Got some problem with wallpapers.
After experementing with some ROMS, my default wallpapers have this strange noise;
I tried to install another ROMS, but this noise still here.
Is there a way to full reset wallpapers?

Whats the problem? They all look like that, or are you trying to say that its blurry ?
If so I would try to get another version of that image from the web, http://images.cyberimg.com/android/2012/06/28/jellybean_wallpaper-650x541.jpeg
Try downloading that and swapping the image out.
If the "Noise" persist, then I don't think their is anything wrong with your image.
Hope this helps.
So compare
tau . rghost . ru/40813681/image.png (dont forget to zoom)
and
cdn01 . androidauthority . com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/wallpaper_01.jpg
Difference is more noticeable at png.
By the way, when i fresh install any ROM, this wallpaper looks normal, but when i set this wallpaper again in wallpapers menu, it has this noise;

The two images you linked to here look identical on my screen, they both look fine.

I wonder why you can't see the difference.

Please, look at this fragment. I ask my friends about it, and they said that they can see this "noise".
Also, i have a simmilar problem with whole screen. It seems that between the glass and the screen is dirty. It makes simmilar effect on the whole screen, but its not noticeble as this wallpaper bug. So difference between images you can see on any display.
It's all very weird.
Sorry for my bad english

Okay, now I see what you are talking about!
It seems like the one on the right was saved with a lower color depth producing noticeable dithering. I can't tell you why the same image would appear differently with different ROMs though, I have no idea.
I could upload the default wallpapers for you when I get home tonight if you would just like to restore them though.

Thank mate, but i want to fix it permanently.
Is there a way to do a FULL wipe, really FULL? Lol.
So anybody know, where is stock wallpapers folder?
Updating to 4.1.2 didn't fixed this problem.
Hi, I sure hope this doesn't count as thread-necromancy, but my search didn't lead to any other results (except this guy here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1817956 - an even older thread.)
I just wanted to confirm this issue, I guess. The stock wallpapers really turned from (more or less) crispy clear to a grainy mess.
I bought my Nexus 7 on release here in Germany, first half of September iirc. Everything fine, no hardware issues at all.
Some day, the OTA Update to 4.2.1 turned up, I confirmed and installed it. The new dropdown settings are cool and all, but...
Yeah, the stock wallpapers got all noisy. The update somehow messed them up.
I use the green one on every Android device I own, so there's no doubt. Noticed it the second the homescreen became visible.
I have no idea why Google would reduce the quality, if that's even an intended change. And, yes, you can simply download the "old, good" version and set it as wallpaper, but it remains a weird issue. Hey, at least we are not imagining it.
Hi guys,
So I have Google camera installed and works smooth while taking pictures compare to the stock camera.
But I have a question here in the comparison of both.
Attached is the comparison collage for same shot on stock camera and Google camera. In the Google camera, for the sky, it creates the color using dots which are clearly visible when I zoom in. And it is something which is bothering me.
Can anyone here tell me, if I am using some wrong settings or it is there in every setting?
I have the dots also, didn't find what's causing them, but version 5.0.009 gives me much less dots, so try to find that version and see if it helps.

same problem here, did you find a solution?
I have tried several different Gcam versions, types and configurations and all of them had this behavior with HDR engine activated. Gcam might need additional fix for our phone :-\
here is my comparison video

i use version Arnova's 5.1.018_v1.2

Nope, still the same problem. It's extremely easy to replicate, just take HDR photo of Kinder surprise yellow egg (or anything similar). It will show dotted pattern no matter what. The same pattern is visible on light uniform color (sky, wall,..).
_mysiak_: i try it now and i have same problem :/ ...but i must zoom in this photo, otherwise I can not see dots
Photo - yellow wall

I see it too. I switched back to MGC_5.1.018_7.0+c2API_Min_2a_AllInOne (December 12) and it does'nt appear to have this problem. I was on 3a and it had this problem. I'm using the Pixel setting (Marlin + Taimen) as device, with Pixel auto HDR+ and ZSL enabled.

Just tried it and even this version failed my yellow test, pattern still visible.
Edit: 5.1.018 versions crash on my phone here and there, so I'm back to "stable" MGC_5.1.014_7.0H_C2API_v.1.5g_AllinOne

Try these settings and app version from a photographer using our phone.
Just tried the photographer config and I can still see the dotted pattern.
My hope is that Xiaomi can upgrade the camera with android O update next week (and add image stabilization)

You are right, pattern is not visible, but also output of HDR+ isn't so good :\ I would even say that's it's pretty much on the same level as stock camera app.
I have tried almost all versions and settings combinations and it seems that we either have amazing HDR mode with strange pattern or HDR with low details and no mysterious pattern.
Try 3.5 BSG version. I've tried the AllinOne_Full_Manual 3.5 version and it doesn't appear to have the blocks. Using the same test subject, and I noticed that all versions from current all the way back to 1.2 have this flaw. I am working my way up on the versions, got to 3.7 and 4.0 but I can't get HDR to actually process.
Does anyone else have a problem with video recording? No matter which app I use the camera hunts for focus occasionally resulting in the frame zooming in and out, or out and in, slightly. I can't manage to get more than 3/5 seconds of rock solid framing?
I have the same issue (LineageOS 14.1) and came here to ask which app I should use to avoid this problem!
This video shows the refocusing really well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCcEp3oD4aY

It looks like your camera is refocussing a lot more frequently than mine!
I'm running the Stock ROM and camera app at the moment. I don't think it's a hardware problem as the camera does not refocuss when taking a still photo.
I can't have ZTE look at it as there's no service center in the UK (and I bought it from Gearbest).

You are right! :good: I changed the 'touch focus duration' in the LOS camera app from '0s' to 'infinite' and now the focus does only change if I click elsewhere!
There should a similar setting in the stock camera app!

Yes it took a while to find the settings! The continuous autofocus setting ("c") causes my Mini to hunt for focus every 2/3 seconds. All the other settings work as expected with no hunting.
Doh! I've just found that you can lock focus and exposure using the Stock camera app! You just need to long press on the target circle after you have selected the object you want to focus on.
https://youtu.be/Un0FJCYKTcM?t=216
Once locked you can choose another object to focus another and it will lock focus on that without having to long press again.
I've been looking for a couple of weeks now and have used quite a few different apks but they all have the same problem.
After taking a picture, the picture shows up in the thumbnail in the bottom right but will not appear in the gallery or Google photos.
They seem to be corrupting when processing HDR and either show up as plain grey or delete themselves.
I've tried clear App Data / Storage as well as different configs but no success
Any working APKS would be appreciated!

I'm starting to think its not a problem with GCAM, rather than with my phone. Not 100% sure what exactly it could be since the stock camera still works fine but yeah.
Maybe use a file explorer and make sure all the "old" data from other gcams is gone. Then start fresh,if you know what I'm saying.
Uninstall any other Gcams.

Glad you been actively trying solutions, like hunting up old files and deleting them.
Try switching HDR through its different On-Off-+ options and see if that matters.
In the settings, make sure camera API 2 is enabled.
Also erase camera data so you can tell which gallery to use, else erase the defaults for your galleries and start cam to see which gallery it uses.
Try all the different gcams one at a time from the celsoazevedo list of arnovag2's cams starting with the newest:

Yes indeed I do. In fact I wrote an update on this subject which I'll post on majzel.blogspot.com on Monday December 23rd. (My original article on gcam was https://majzel.blogspot.com/2019/11/what-i-learnt-about-google-camera.html )
In short XDA seems not to be the forum for Gcam porting. You have to join Telegram and then select the channel relating to 6 and 6T porting.
From there is a set of ports with results and recommendations. To cut to the chase right now, as of dec 20 2019, time 00.01, assuming that you raised your Oneplus 6T to Oxygen OS 10.3.0 (use Oxygen Updater from Play store and install stable not beta)
THEN I'd recommend
use MJL Minikon 2.3-fix3
or Simplecam 4.0.191030.1140-7.0.009
Of course nothing will work right unless you also download and then load your .xml configuration file. Right now on Simplecam I'm using Frctl and on MJL I am using Leica
I've experienced exactly the issues that plague you i.e. takes a photo, but somewhere in processing it hangs, or is not saved. These and other peculiarities are well reported on Telegram

Thanks for this, I'm not actually on Telegram and hadn't used it yet, I'll give it a try and see if there is any more info there.
I am on 10.3.0 and tried your suggested combinations but no luck. SimpleCam actually crashes when I turn off HDR and forces me to clear the storage before I can even open it again.
Once again, thanks for the help guys!

What @amouses seems the best idea.
Find a way to get Telegram and you'll find the in-depth knowledge.
You sure are determined--trying EVERY camera in the list!
Let's get back to some basics--are you running stock?
If not maybe you gotta drop back and see if a camera works.
Got any other mods going on--gotta dump them all temporarily.
At this point, I say back up your important personal data--photos, etc., factory reset your phone, flash latest stock, start off completely fresh, don't install apps or anything until you've tested the most likely working camera.
Take it from there.
Good luck.
Season's Greetings.

Yeah, I was sure one would work, unfortunately not.
I'm running everything stock, with 0 mods on anything, OOS has come far enough for me not to need to root anymore to be honest.
I've been having a few minor bugs and a little lag in chrome once in a while so maybe the upgrade from 9 to 10 didn't go cleanly so I'll try and reset, flash stock etc. When I have some time
I was wondering, If I install a custom ROM such as Lineage how do I take pictures from the third camera? That one with a wider lens behind the phone.
As you can see in the image attached, that is what I mean. I tried to find apps in the playstore but none of them offers me the option to use this wide angle camera.
This is still my first matter before moving to a new ROM.
Thanks.

Alright it turns out to be a software problem, the third camera is only accessible through the stock ROM with the stock camera.
I tried using Open Camera which recognizes three cameras but it doesn't take pics from the third one. I will wait for the OneUI 2 update from Samsung to see whether it'll be solved or not.

I've solved the riddle.
If you compare the field of view between std and pano, they are the same.
Go to settings, camera API
Activate camera 2api
Now compare the std and the pano.
The pano uses the wide angle (3rd) camera.
Edit; this doesn't work of you are running OneUI.
Only from a gsi
@physwizz your idea is good but OpenCamera still doesn't recognize it.
As you can see in the image attached bellow, the app knows that there are three cameras and if I keep switching between them it passes over three cameras' id's and none of them is the wide-angle camera. Well, I am using lineage with the reapper kernel. Which one were you using when it worked?

sorry,
You must be right.
It looked like I was getting wide angle but I had the resolution set differently on the std.
My mistake.
