hey guys i am happy to hear that xda had started hardware mod topic... so i think i should post one of my ideas...
i am taking about taking night photos( of course u can take one with a phone having an led flash or so.. but it is not about photo taken using an led flash). it is all about night vision photos. so r u interested? if so believe me u can do it with ur normal phone camera. no oter spec is needed. any camera can do it.
so the fact behind this is the normal ccd used in cameras( here our phone cameras which also use ccds) can detect ir light which cant be detected using bare human eyes...
so u can do some spy things using it???( lol "chicks" gona hurt u a lot).
all u have to make a light source using ir leds( those u find on remote controls) , get few 10-20 of them from ur nearest radio shack, assemble it in a suitable cabin( a small cardreader cabin can do the trick), along with some li-ion battery pack, a control switch, and a charging port( if u want to charge it), after u finish, turn on the ir light, turn on ur camera( ofcourse u have to turn ur led flash light off), carry both of them into a total dark place, viola, u can see things in the room on ur phone, and with no viasible light out there, no one gona detect u..
actualy, i had done it with my k800i sonyericsson cybershot phone, in which i used the fastport connector to power the light source, u can get about 3.2 v from the port. but for new android device, we cant get some v-out since 99% of phones are usb slaves, and not usb hosts. but if u have a phone/tab with a usb host port, ofcourse u can get upto [email protected] from it.
i will soon update the thread with circuits and photos, but now i have an exm time out there.. so be in touch. also if somebody managed to make one, u should share it here.

Our cameras are able to detect IR lights, ccd and CMOS both can. The only problem is they have an IR filter. That's why people IR mod their camera, not their flashes.
Unless you can dig around INSIDE the camera sensor itself, I don't think it's possible.
Hey, this is actually a good idea, I've never thought about it this way.
I've got an infra-red night-vision monocular that's got an IR LED on it, so I turned out all the lights, flicked on the LED, and opened my X10's camera. I couldn't see anything through my phone, except the LED itself.
I'm gonna go buy some more LEDs...
EDIT:
I'm not an expert on cameras, so I forgot about the IR filter. That's why it wasn't working.

Well I'm not a 100% sure if its the same with small cameras, but I know in order for a dslr to take IR photos they need a modification to the sensor itself.

Wait.. Then what about the LEDs on the remotes? Aren't they IR LEDs too? They can be seen by cameras.

Yeah, but the filter makes them dim. They're actually quite bright.
I've done IR mod to several phones and digital camera I had, and with a bit of luck and patience you can get some beautiful results
You need to open camera, reach sensor, and remove IR filter, then take floppy or the dark edge of old camera film, cut two pieces about the size of original filter, place it on sensor and reassemble camera. Set it to black and white, and go to some park on a sunny day, you'll forget about the world when looking at the photos...
IR filters vary a lot in quality - cheaper cameras (like those found in cell phones) tend to be weaker.
However the most interesting results would come from a complete hot mirror removal and replacement with a visible-blocking IR-pass filter. (This is what many IR mods for SLRs do).
ok dudes as i already forgot to notice about the ir filter, though cellphone cameras have one, they are much weaker than professional camera's. so if u managed to get more ir light, ofcourse u gan get the results, for that u have to use powerfull ir leds. like 1w or 3w ir leds, google it. i think ebay have them, they are bit cheep.. 9-10 $'s.
and with my k800i, man itz a true camera phone . though itz 3.2mp,( k790,k800,k810 cybershots) no other 3.2 snapz from any other phones( even those having more mp ratings) cant beet itz snapz. and i swear a camera driver modification makz it a small SLR( yap i mean it). with that driver changed i can take picz in 3200 iso, and 2 second shutter speed. ( lol the driver have a hell of options juz like photoshop cs6, u will take atleast a weak to learn all!!!) . so i can take pic even in moon light with out xenon flash. so ir filter is not a problem for it. thats why i got it a success.
showlyshah im glad you had success with yours i dont know much about my facinate or cameras. i just recently learned how to root it without brickining my samsung but i intend to try your little experiment with the ir leds i hope i get as much success out of mine as you have with yours

I guess most mobile phones have weak filters? will try it out as soon as i get some IR leds

Yap itz just like day. But the odd thing is he is using ready made devices, whereas we are taking about cheep setup which would cost below 20$.
send from my hd2 @ miui 1.12.2
Also guys u can try to make same setup with visible white light source, all u have to care is to obtain an led with cct about 4000-7000 range( don't get confused cct in simple words means the colour of light produced by a light source. Warm white colour( like those of incandescent lamp) have cct below 4000 whereas neutral white( sunlight) ranges from 4000 - 6000 and cool white ( those like cfl's or tubelights) have cct 7000- 8000. ) . So we need neutral white for daylight like illumination. And a 1w or 3w led will do the trick. Check the cct before u buy 1. I personally recommend CREE led for it.
So u need not have to worry if ur phn don't have a flash, or if itz is so poor in lighting. Happy video/ photo shooting...
Regards.
Inform me if u want circuits..

Can you be more specific? I have an old K810 collecting dust, would be great to put cam to use. What driver mod are you using? Where can I get it?
You do realize why IR filters are in pretty much every camera? Well at least one reason. The wave length of IR is much thinner and can travel through light/thin clothing. Try using IR as a source of light, or find a camera without IR filter and rely solely on the suns own IR radiation and we'll be having interesting results
Please corrected me if I'm wrong, I very vaguely know IR filtering and photography.

Check the forum named se-nse.com. the greatest se forum around. For that u have to patch ur phone. If its cid 53, u have to downgrade it to cid 52, then patch, then u have to applay a patch for camera and then change the driver. If u need i will send u the patch and driver.

Yap u r true. But if u totaly remove the ir filter, it will make ur normal pics ugly. So u have to add a manual exposure adjusting window. Ir lights will easily penitrate through thin cloths and thats why i said chickz gona hurt u.
Check you tube. U can view interesting stuffs.

i managed to break my camera doing this lol not for the inexperienced i fudged something while removing my IR filter...
Ok so one of the main reason im buying the Note 3 is the "camera quality" after read all the comments of how good the note 3 camera is but for some reason the camera isnt as good as i expected , my mum s3 camera even better than mine! all the picture i takes look really grainy and almost as if it has a filters applied to it make it look like brushstrokes. i wonder if anyone on the same boat and how can i solve this ? flashing difference firmware ?

yeal i did remove it but still the same! really sad since i love my Note 3 this is like my 1st Android phone but the camera really downside
Maybe try another camera app from the playstore to rule out it's a hardware problem?
Disable the "intelligent stabilsation" feature and/or try a different app. Usually Camera FV-5 works fine.
Hi everyone the photos of my Note 3 N9005 come out be hazy and blurry..Like some fading effect is there..I clicked the same photos with my cousin"s Note 3 n9005 whcih are crystal clear and colors are shown accurate..Can any one help to solve dis issue..Photos are attached ...

Have you:
1. tried cleaning the lense with a soft cloth? It may be due to the coldness in the room that the lense got foggy.
2. tried checking if a filter applied accidentally. Click the arrow icon below the screen and make sure no filter is selected.
3. tried turning on Smart Stabilization? The lighting be low as you are indoor.

Have you tried other camera apps? If it's still the same, it might be a hardware issue. Has this been for quite a long time? Did you do any camera mods or anything that could affect your camera performance? Your last bet would be to go to a service center.

I haven't tried other camera apps..I'll try and check the results..Yup this has been for quite a long time..Earlier I saw the same results with Note 3 N9000 but ignored as I thought it would be due to diiferent processors..But now i compared with my couisn's N9005 then his camera shots appears to more clear from me.Nyways thanks for ur response..
Did you also check the ISO, Exposure and Measuring settings? Ditto for smart stabilisation.
I had a similar problem , and I got the main camera changed by Samsung service centre

For sure looks as hardware problem. Go to service center

Go to the custom service center. Probably it's not a big problem to find this in your country.
Maybe it's the problem of the ISO? Try changing its value and see if it works.
