Manual camera improvements

Hi,
would it be possible to add the following options to Manual camera?:

1. 8MPx resolution
2. Color and Brightness options that we already have in Auto mode, and only in auto mode
3. More iso level options (currently we have like 50, 100, 200, 400, would be nice to have more like 30, 75, 150 300 etc.)
4. I installed more camera apps from Google Play and some of them are not visible in camera apps or even in the device no matter Google Play says Installed (like Horror), why I cannot use it? Please make is visible.
5. HDR to work with ISO set manually (both at the same time)

2. when you go to manual mode, you can change brightness by adjusting EV or shutter speed. there's also a white balance settings that pretty much covers what the Colour option in Auto mode does.

4. I guess some of those camera addons weren't made compatible with XZP.

5. I'm not sure if HDR on XZP works in the traditional way, but if it does, it quickly takes 3 (or 5, or 7) photos with different EV value and then combines them. I guess that each one of those photos requires different ISO values so setting manual ISO would probably mess the HDR effect up.

I agree except point 2, it is not the same and color adjustment is missing.

well, how do you think brightness is changed in automatic mode if not by adjusting EV, i.e. a slider that's also present in manual mode but is named differently? and Colour setting changes the temperature of the photo, while WB setting... changes the temperature of the photo so, well, for all intents and purposes they're the same.

Download open camera and put it in legacy mode.

So, so many options including manual temperature, bracketing, iso etc.  all together

Are you sure? Try using manual shutter speed 1s and ISO 50, very simple and useful setting, yet it's impossible.
