Documented changes

  • Dynamic ISO and SpatialGainMap issues were corrected, front-camera patcher options returned, and several device fixes were included.

Configuration and known limits

  • Earlier configs can load, but library selection is now specific to each lens.

When does R15 make sense?

A reason to try it

Relevant changes

You need the rear-module library controls or a fix documented for your setup.

A reason to keep your current setup

Your current setup

Your established config behaves consistently and you do not need the added controls.

What to check when you switch

  1. Export your existing config.
  2. After import, inspect library selection for each rear lens.
  3. Check selfies, Night mode and video before adopting the new settings.
Before importing your XML

Earlier XMLs can load, but each rear lens now has its own library choice.

Back up, change one thing, test the same scene, then keep or restore the setup

R15 questions answered

Can I reuse a previous config?

The developer says yes, with the per-lens library caveat.

Does Exynos work on every Samsung phone?

The notes name Note20U, S21U and S10 verification; that does not verify every Samsung model or regional variant.

Is the iris button an Iris-package APK?

The iris switch is a feature in the notes; R15's file list has no separate Iris APK.
