Hi
I am wondering if it would be possible to port the Galaxy Note II Camera app with all its functions like burst mode, best shot, best group pose among all the other effects available..
I have tried to port it my sefl and gotten as far as the camera opens but force closes after a second or two, i have also tried all the note 2 camera apps for the SGS3 and no go, i am including the nessesary files in a zip HERE
So what do u think, would u like the Note 2 camera on our Note 1??
+1 Would like to have these options too, even though our camera wont take the pictures as fast as Note 2..

Our camera sucks compared to Note 2. So deal with it.
I guess it would be cool. But as stated above our camera is worse to note 2. So lets not mess with it much

We know the camera in the og note is worse than note 2, but still, we would like more features
You can't increase the Software-Performance so much, because the Hardware isn't good enough
But anyways, it would be very cool

I also agreed. Note 2 camera is much better than the Note 1. Specially GroupPose option is awesome.
If anyone can be ported GroupPose fearture would be nice.

But then all off you, why can our camera be blazing fast with other camera apps on Google Play?
Like this, the millisecond that i press the camera button the camera shoots..
Fast Burst Camera
So i dont buy that nonsense of u saying that it camt perform..
It's all in the softwares commuciation against the hardware..

So I LOVE THIS PHONE, it has been everything I ever wanted in a phone except one key part; The low ligth performance.
I have taken a bunch of pics in darker settings (at work, in clubs, restaurants) and all my pics look blurry/oily (oil painting effect) and the only time I get sharp pics is on close up pics (really close up) with flash.
Is this the norm for this phone? Is samsung releasing an app update?
Do you guys have any apps that solve this issue and can you post them here/the setting you use with them. I have attached some pics below to show examples
I have the same problem.
have you tried it with the smart stabilization mode on ?
For me it turned out the smart stabilization mode was the culprit, disabling it fixed it.

Yep and it only makes things more bright with no real advantage...it still looks blurred/oily and details are hard to make out; but hey I have a little bit more contrast/better colors
Updates wont' fix it - it's the hardware.
Take a look at the tiny little lens on the back of your Note 3. Then compare that with a point & shoot camera. Then realize N3's camera takes in a fraction of the light and has a miniscule sensor. Do you really expect similar performance?
You really need to play with settings, to squeeze maximum performance in low light and one setting for all won't work, but one thing is for sure, get as much light as possible from flash or elsewhere. If you ever watch pros making movies, half of their equipment is lights and light bouncing screens and they use them even in the daylight even with huge lenses costing thousands of dollars. I do agree Samsung could fine tune low light performance a little better, possibly having dedicated low light/night mode and explain "smart stabilization", which is not stabilization, but custom HDR, little better, but it's not that bad, considering small lens and sensor. I've seen that oil painting effect myself, but only in really low light where even DSLR would have hard time to cope.

what setting do you use in low light?
As I already said there is no one setting for all, but just to give an example, don't use smart stabilization for close distance , because then flash won't fire and here flash will give best results. On the other hand if you were shooting sunset, don't use flash because exposure will be too dark, unless you have people right in front as main subject etc. Smart stabilization won't work for moving objects, since it stocks multiple exposures on top of each other, but it may work pretty well for some static pictures. You could also try to manually set ISO and again it all depends, higher ISO will give you shorter exposure but much more noise, so for static picture you could try lower ISO and brace the phone against some hard surface to avoid shake, or even make a tripod. But nothing beats the light, so always try to position yourself with light behind you, so let's say inside the house have window behind you, not in front of you.
Ive owned every single Android device to date.. yes you read right, every one and if theres one thing Android Devs Can NOT get right out of the box .. its the freaking cameras.
Googles own Nexus 5 needed a few updates from LG to fix it. LGs own G2.. the camera is smudgey and noisey and needs a firmware update.
The LTE version of the S4 (I9005) had shutter lag out of the box, leaving pictures burred and noisey, which was fixed.. eventually... in 4.3.
Thank you so much for this post OP, I was considering a Note 3 as a back up to my Lumia 920 (WP8), soon to be a Lumia 1020.. Its getting ridiculous the way devs are treating us buyers like ****.. "Oh dont worry we can release an OTA next month".
Seriously, take it back and send an email to Samsung "Ram it Samsung", then go buy an HTC One Max.
Stop letting Devs Q&A treat us like ****, return your phones, then send Samsung a Scanned copy of the refund reciept.. explaining it didnt work out of the box.. theyd soon kick their Q&A into gear.

I would but I don't know another phone that has a pen. THe pen alone has been the one saving grace for me. I'm a very disorganized guy, ESPECIALLY PAPER and being able to have all my notes in one place has been really convenient. But I don't know, I would like to find a way to get forums to get in contact with Sammy and get them to fix cameras.
BTW does anyone know if the note 2's camera is a better camera and if it would be worth it to return the Note 3 for a Note 2
WHat makes me angry is that most reviewers swear the Note 3 camera is godly. Well not at all in low light

Yes, It has an 8MP camera on it and its a brilliant camera, Its actually better than the S3, especially in low light. As an amateur photographer, I understand that 13MP dont mean squat.. 8MP cams are better.. less MPs for it to process.. I used to own a Note 2 and I loved it. The photos were truely amazing and Sammy have had a few years to iron out the bugs.. so it works beautifully and smooth.. nice fast shutter speeds with reasonable low light.. oh and the speaker on the back is fantastic and loud, with a rich sound from the wolfson DAC, plus the screen on the Note 2 isnt crappy Pentile either.
Its a great phone and you wont be dissapointed.
EDIT:
Yep I know, but reviewers all do that, its amazing what a new free phone will do to grease a reviewers wheels. I tend to watch independent YouTube reviewers, theres a few honest ones around if you look for them. There seems to be an obession that bigger is better, and in the terms of Camera MPx.. No its not.. trust me,. Look at the HTC One 4 Ultra Pixel.. Its fantastic, the Note 2 is a great phone and its cheap now. Go for it
Good luck
note 2 camera is I can tell for sure at least 40% better than the note 3 camera in low light... that's my personal experience

So I suppose the question now is, is it worth going back to the Note 2 for despite the other advancements in hardware?
With Note 2, do the native updates give it some of the more useful features of the Note 3?

Now that I cant say, sorry. I know the Note 2 did get some added updates from the Note 3 OS, but due to the half-baked flaky bullsh*t OS that samsung, LG and other devs keep giving us "Out of the Box" with their bug ridden, faulty, un-tested devices from a lazy QA depatment over and over again.. I gave up on latest Android new release devices and went to Nokia WP8, but thats just me
And yet we keep buying these faulty release day Android devices.

How do you mean by wider camera view?, are you talking about how much of the picture you take is in a single frame? or do you mean aperture?
The note 2 has an f2.6 aperture lens where as the Note 3 has a wider f2.2 aperture lens, meaning on paper, the Note 3 should let in more light, however, due to the huge number of 13Milion pixels compared to the less crowded 8Million, the aperture size may not matter here.
Also the Note 2 and Note 3 both have a digital zoom, meaning it expands the actual pixels themselves, not the image like a better Optical zoom, but they both have O.I.S and both have panorama shot for expanded images.
EDIT:
You mean as in how much you see through the viewfinder on the screen.. I think the Note 2 is the wider view, but Im not sure someone else reading this may know though
Hope that helps

AFAIK, the pen functionality in the Note 3 is better.
The camera on the note 2 sounds like a winner...
I guess you need to choose. Since it is only dark in so many situations, I would err on the better specs and forward thinking of the note 3 in terms of android trim, better specs, and future updates.
A $80 point and shoot will do even better than a note 2.

If you can get a wider picture from the Note 2. Note 3 seemed to have a narrow wide angle. (so lets say Note 2 was 16:9, Note 3 would be 16:11) thats what I mean. you can capture more area with the Note 2 camera
Hello guys , i just bought a s5 but i notice that the front camera looks blurry. I tiried turning off beauty face and play with the options but it doesn't seem to correct it. I don't know if this is a software problem or what
We have no way of knowing either because you didn't even provide a sample photo or detailed information about your settings or how you use the camera.
Without those crucial details, all we can do is make random guesses. Perhaps you aren't holding the camera steady. Or have a fingerprint over the camera aperture. Or innumerable other causes. You need to provide a lot more information if you hope to narrow down the cause.

so sorry to resurrect this thread.. but with snapdragon camera app (which now almost all roms are using [mostly without mentioning]), the front camera image is so good. BUT when you use apps like whatsapp or imo and try to use it internally (via the app itself), the pallid blurry and ridiculous image reappears.... any solution to that?
I take the photo with the stock Samsung app, and then share it via WhatsApp or whatever I'm using
WhatsApp is terrible for camera/video, won't focus half the time, most other camera apps are a lot lower quality than the stock Samsung one, which is why a lot of people stick with TW ROMs

I have to admit that the Camera has greatly improved, the pictures are not fvcked up anymore!
They are adding 1-2 system updates every day, I think they updated the camera software.
Pictures aren't perfect, I hope they will continue with updates
The device is EXCELLENT overall
Will there be support for Camera API 2? Or is it a hardware thing and the Z1 will never support it?
Hey guys. Just wanted to ask is the blurry camera still there. I changed to custom ROMs in thinking it might get fixed, but I'm still getting blurryimages from the back camera. Please advice.
hi guys, im having the same problem here, i change the original rom to the oficial CM13 and the camera start with this problem, it is like the image stabilizer will not work at all.
anyone can fix this issue???
thanks
Hi had the same issue, If I put the phone horizontally the camera just started to shaking a lot and going crazy.
I think It's an hardware problem of the OIS stabilizzator. I changed my phone with a new one (thanks to the seller on Amazon) and now no problem at all.
My ZUK Z1's front cam developed spots& marks like small lines.
I thougt it was a software problem and did all i could, Soft/Full Reboot, clearing cache in settings, Recovery aand....Fully powering down the device and turning it on....No matter what i couldn't solve it....
So when i googled it, I came to a clarity that its a hardware issue....

Are the pictures blurry even when you make sure the lens have focused properly? The camera on mine isn't the best in terms of the picture quality it churns out, but the photos aren't blurry when I take time to focus them properly.

I was having similar issues with my front camera in default os (cm 12], then same issue persisted with custom roms ( nuclea os 14.1 ). Today I installed "open camera" app and suddenly the crashing problem ended and now I am able to use front camera in all apps like default camera app and watsapp etc. Hope this helps...

Hello guys. I've got a weird question, I know. I just moved from Nexus 5 to Note 3 (didn't buy note 4, because it's not a reasonable upgrade for 200-300$ more). However, the camera is really, I mean REALLY bad. Images are looking like they are drawn with oil pastels. I'm running Phronesis 6.3 with the Note 3 camera. I also noticed that when I take picture with HDR the touch in the camera isn't working (can't manual focus, open settings etc., I can just click the shutter, but it's not doing anything). Note 4 camera HDR isn't working too and S6 is not properly-sized (idk if HDR works). Can it be because of the ROM or just the camera is bad? My Note 3 is N9005. Samples of the camera: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4Cppa708yDReUZKaUdWRXBZdjQ
EDIT: 4K video looks really sharp and nice, what the ?! It's just the pictures that look terrible.

I think that picture you linked does look pretty bad. Maybe it's the motion in the picture that causes an unfocused shot? Unfortunately HDR doesn't work on any of the port roms even when you use note 3 cam.
Sorry, I meant to link to few images, link updated. And I don't think so, it's just the app that sucks, because I just tried another app and it looks pretty sharp and good. Anyway, can you suggest me some nice camera, that has good and fast HDR (like the Google one, unfortunately HDR doesn't show up on Note 3) ?
It's look like a very pretty good & beautiful place, where Is it?

Bulgaria, Etar (Etar Architectural-Ethnographic Complex), you can check it out, I'm sure u'll like it.
And on topic, Snap Camera is very good for HDR, if anyone needs HDR camera, but it's not what I really want. I want the same HDR as Google camera. Any ideas?
