Raw Dumper 3.5.0
Logo by Md Nazmul Hasan is licensed under CC BY 4.0
This release is what I always wanted Raw Dumper to be: a well-optimized, full-featured camera app that can take awesome RAW pictures.
Going the opposite route that most apps follow, the APK size had a 60% decrease in this version, thanks to ProGuard, gradle and native libs optimizations. About 78% of the app's size is code (Java and native), while the rest are graphical/string/style resources and assets.
I also been playing with OpenGL Compute Shaders for future new ultra-fast image processing techniques and the first result was the addition of a simple free-lens-camera-like effect. Enjoy ;)
- Optimized APK size: from 6MB to only 2.2MB!
- Better configurations switches's colors;
- Ultra fast picture saving thanks to asynchronous IO;
- Display camera aperture below shutter speed value;
- Added a new free-lens-camera-like effect.
Note 0: The app still requires ROOT
Note 1: Zenfone 2 users using custom roms need a patched camera lib
Note 2: Zenfone 5 and Razr I compatibility is still experimental (and untested)
Note 3: I'm not responsible for bricked phones, broken phones/cameras/images or thermonuclear war
