I've searched and it appears as though you cannot enable hDR on the 3GS without a third party app... Is this concluded?

I did the hd video mod, it works, wouldn't say I notice a major difference in the quality, but the recording video does have a higher reported resolution...
 
I know you can install the recently-release 'MyOS' tweak to enable/disable certain portions of your OS (including HDR photography).
 
1. Jailbreak iPhone 3GS (PwnageTool) or 3G (using redsn0w0.9.5b5-5).

2. Install OpenSSH via Cydia.

3. Connect your iPhone with your Computer and SSH into it.

Install either CyberDuck for Mac or WinSCP for Windows.

Get your iPhone’s IP address from Settings –> WiFi –> ‘Name of your network provider’.

Here are the login details to SSH into your iPhone.

For CyberDuck:

Server: IP address of your iPad/iPhone.

Protocol: SFTP

Username: root

Password: alpine

For WinSCP

Hostname: iPad IP address

Protocol: SCP

Username & Password: Same as for Cyberduck.

After you SSH into your device, be sure to change the password from the default ‘alpine’ using the passwd command.

4. Next copy the plist file from your device to your Computer as follows:

iPhone 3G: /System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/N82AP.plist

iPhone 3GS: /System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/N88AP.plist

5. In the Capabilities section of this property list file, add a key named ‘hdr-image-capture’ with a boolean value of ‘true’.

6. Save the file and copy this modified property list back to your device via SSH replacing the older version.

7. Restart Springboard or reboot your device, and you should now see the HDR setting in your iPhone camera app.

I think this was found to not work.

Also steps 1-4 can be replaced with "Download ifunbox or iPhone explorer"
No need to SSH.

Yes this was found not to work, which is why I poseted this thread ;) I'm going to check the Cydia tweak and report.
 
Tried the myos app and it doesn't work to enable HDR, it says it enables it but nothing happened :(

So back to my original post, nobody has hDR (besides that third party app) working on the 3GS?
