XIMODE 2.1 - Video & photo modes for Xiaomi Yi [Auto/Normal/Night/Yitune/SupYiView/...]

Hello to all !
I've looked over all the Internet and could not get a solution for my problem so I decided to post here after reading all your comments.
I recently purchased a Xiaomi Yi Sports Camera, model Z25, with firmware 1.3.
I want to hack my camera with some script to improve its video quality (disappointing I find, with factory set-ups) but it seems that my firmware 1.3 doesn't allow scripts to be executed.
And I don't feel capable to downgrade using the DirectTool USB solution, am too afraid to break my camera!!

So my questions are :

=> is there a script that is "useable" with the Firmware 1.3?
=> if not, will there be one? Maybe there isn't at the moment because the Firmware is too recent?


Thank you all for your replies :)

When I extract the files XIMODE_X.X.X.zip is not among them. I'm familiar with dragging/copy/paste software updates as .bins. Do the contents of XIMODE 2.1 have to be dragged to the card root separately?

Is there a source description laying out the automation of the raw file to DNG in a batch file?
 
About the orange/yellow:
Yes, thats because the White balance has been fixed to one value. I'm still trying to figure out how to fix it to a K value (5500K for example, however xiaomi doesnt allow that...)
However thanks for the headsup. Just wanted to go out and do some tests :)

About the two seconds:
Yes thats because the RAW+JPG is used. If you want to remove those 2 seconds, simply remove the lines with RAW+JPEG in the scripts and it should work normal.


And no, the code will not slow down the camera ;)
When I first tested the video output with short videos the first one was orange, the next was normal. The SupYiView is cool!
 
Hello!
Is there any possibility to make these mods to work with new cameras?
I just bought one and it has fw 1.4.8 with sn: Z26L.
 
Hi all,

I need a script with only slightly increased saturation on both videos and photos.

I tried to edit the normal.ash script to increase saturation for video but it seems that it tends to overexpose a little.

I would appreciate if anyone can share a script with only increased saturation compared to a no-script video.

thanks!
 
How do i remove the RAW option in the timelapse script?
 
Hi, I have recently buy a xiaomi yi camera my model is the z23L and I am a little disappointed with the video quality. So I have been looking for a custom firmware or something similar to improve it. I have no idea about how to flash this mods and I dont even know what you mean when you talk about scripts. I would be really pleased if someone could tell me which firmware should I install and how. I really appreciate your help, thank you so much I am waiting for your answer .

I like the Ximode hack which includes a version of "superview" which uses the full sensor data of 4: 3 and 16:9 for a larger image!

Thank you so much, I have read a lot about ximode and I like it a lot, yet they don't say in the decription if the lens focusing problem is solved. Despite that, there is another script called Waffle that it claims to solve that problem. Which script do you think is better, Waffle or Ximode????
