Hi!
I did some skype video calling lately and experienced something strange. The quality of the transmitted video was way better from Note 2 than from Note 3 in various aspects:
Concerning the front cam, I had 17 to 7 fps, a much better quality in terms of light and color of the pictures. Turning on the the quality information the Note 2 also showed a lower cpu usage (!!).
Skype version on both: 4.5.0.39600
Note 2 rooted stock ROM 4.1.2, Note 3 rooted stock 4.3 MJ7.
So, is the current skype version not as optimized for snapdragon 800 as for Exynos?
The results for the back cams were similar, but not with such drastic difference. Still higher frame rates on Note 2, a bit more "natural" picture and lower cpu usage. This was kinda disappointing. I love boths my devices, but comparing them in many aspects of everyday usage, the Note 3 is not superior to the Note 2 in all aspects! Skype is just 1 thing, there are quite some things still lacking on Note 3, UMS e.g.
So, can somebody confirm my "discoveries" in terms of skype video quality?
Anyone to bring a bit more insight into that issue?
P.S. Anything similar on Hangouts video?
Note3 sucks videocalling

Hi,
Any solutions for this thing here? really dissapointed with Note3 video calling this is to all applications not only in skype. video quality is bad. same goes with Xperia Z1 i changed to note 3 to eliminate the problem but only to find out that its just same freaking problem video quality so Bad.
hope someone could find a way regarding this problem. my Gf uses note 2 and way better video when we videocalling.
I am planning to buy the Le Pro 3 x720 and customise it to have a oneplus 3 experience.
The LEx720 and OP3 has the same camera sensor and almost same processor (snapdragon 821 for LEx720 & snapdragon 820 for OP3)
kimovilDOTcom/en/compare/leeco-le-pro-3-6gb-64gb,oneplus-3-6gb-64gb-cn
Yet the x720 camera reviews are less positive in comparison to the OP3. I guess its the processing.
1. So has someone ever tried the Oneplus camera on the LEx720?
apkmirrorDOTcom/apk/oneplus-ltd/oneplus-camera/
2. Is it possible to have some samples comparison please, especially against the google camera?
My alternative choice would be the Meizu M6 Note which boasts the same camera as the HTC U11 and it's working pretty great with its Arcsoft algorithm.
3. Based solely on camera, can the LEx720 deliver a better image quality than the Meizu M6 Note?
I would really appreciate your views.
Thank you all in advance.
I wouldn't say you're guaranteed to get a Sony sensor. Some people here are reporting that their camera isn't working on custom ROMs like Paranoid Android--which means that they have a different camera sensor (I believe custom ROMs for the Pro3 variants are built with Sony drivers, but IDK). The OnePlus 3 camera is miles better than the Pro3 camera simply because OnePlus bothers to put good camera software on their phones. Not iPhone-quality, but definitely up there. When it comes to cameras, software is a lot more important, IMO. That's why the iPhone 6's camera quality holds up today, even though the phone was released in 2014. Name a single Android phone from 2014 with good camera quality today...
You are not guaranteed good camera quality from Chinese phones. Some Chinese brands claim to make this a priority, but reviews don't lie. Now, Camera2 API may improve quality, but it really depends. Camera2 API has done wonders for variants of the Xiaomi Note 4 stuck with the inferior Omnivision sensor. It's done even more for variants with Sony and Samsung sensors. And I expect it does well for the Pro3 too, since the Pro3 has a chipset with good image processing. Do your research. Look around the forum and search for camera mods. See if you like the results or not. Camera2 API requires you to root your phone.
Sorry, but if you want a flagship-worthy camera experience, you either buy an iPhone 7, 8, or X, a Samsung S8 or Note 8, an OP3T or OP5, or a Pixel phone. Pixel phones have the best smartphone cameras in the market right now, especially the Pixel 2, since it has dedicated hardware for it. I can't think of any other phones that take excellent images no matter where you are or what you're doing. With other brands you'll have to either a) make sure there's enough lighting, b) be in the right place at the right time, or c) do a lot of manual post-processing, which ruins image quality.
I'm okay with my x722's image quality. It takes good shots in sunlight. Low-light performance is awful. Pretty typical experience. I don't know which sensor I have, though. I'd have to be rooted to find that out.
The Meizu M6 Note has a better sensor. Even if its camera software is awful, it's bound to be better. LeEco doesn't even try with its camera app, so Meizu has to be better.

Different camera sensor? Has there been a case? Doing so would be nightmare for device maintenance and unless it is a large scale company with a model that gets sold huge quantities (Samsung and Apple), it would just be a unnecessary headache without any benefit. Camera not working on certain custom roms does not indicate different sensor. Far from it. A missing or extra line on device tree or even in build.prop would cause it.
It is true that camera sucks on most of Chinese phones. They've got the hardware but unless you're shooting RAW, end result will be very poor.
However, that was the case before Google HDR+ port. That port makes dramatic different. No reason to use OnePlus camera when OnePlus users are rooting for Google HDR+.

Is that so? Sorry, I didn't know that. I thought it strange that the camera would work on ROMs installed on some devices but not others.

Yeah, Gcam changed everything. Now phones with the worst sensors get decent shots, even at night.
Still, no working modded apk for the new Google Camera 6.1? I was just curious why, the photo quality would be vastly better on the new version of the app, awaiting reply guys, TIA.

Wrong thread dude
I just bought a samsung galaxy s7 edge model SM-G935T honestly I'm disappointed at the photo level. I was expecting a lot better especially on this model I have a sony imx 260 sensor, which is weird with the Chinese smartphone leeco pro 3 which a sensor sony imx 298 of lower quality. I can produce better shots on leeco X722 thanks to the Google camera. Is there a way to install the gcam on samsung so you can get the most out of it?

Search is your friend, there are working gcam ports for this phone, albeit it can't store pics to external storage without jumping through a couple of hoops.

Yes, I am aware that there are certainly some versions of gcam function for the Samsung SM-G935T especially that I am very connected in this area with leeco pro 3 which accepts almost all versions of this list thank you for having me answered.
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
It's good, I found version 6.1021 works best on the Samsung SM-G935T under oreo and bug least compared to others. Exactly it is the one I use with my leeco pro 3 but against the battery it is empty at a speed unbelievable. On leeco the application is better optimized, it consumes less battery. As you can see I took some pictures with the application.

There is another version that works very well on my samsung SM-G935T snapdragon 820 without crash compared to others is this version or there is precisely Yuv_420_888 which must be selected in the settings for no bug.
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/MGC_6.1.021_Potter_v6slidertest-san1ty.apk
On this version the viewfinder and much faster.
I have two versions that works well on our smartphone under snapdragon 820 with the rom oreo even without being rooted.
There are several, but I chose the most recent one.
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V2a+.apk
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V1a_xcam_0.apk
Do the tests and look at the one that brings you the most satisfaction.
This is a new version of gcam that is rich in option and works well under oreo but it does not crash.
install this one first
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V1a_xcam_0.apk
and over install this new version and create a gcam folder with the file config.xml
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gca...ova-based_v.1.3c_fix_TlnNeun_xcam_5_beta6.apk
Anything available for exynos?

for the Exynos processor I do not think it's compatible with me running under a snapdragon 820 processor with the official Oreo Rom without root.
For exynos under the rom oreo test rather those of this list

Didn't understand your instructions clearly. Exactly what to do after installing the first apk?

I explained in my previous comment to be able to install the second application without crash and that it is very rich in option, it must first install the first application is configure it by activating the hdr +
and after finishing the installation of the first, especially do not uninstall it that is the same developer of the second, and install the second that will take over the first.
the goal is that the second application installs without any crash.
I am getting the same green tint all over the picture specialy front cam.
Please help me
For selfies install this app in addition
do not uninstall the other.
because I tried all the parameters, but unfortunately, the green tint remains present.
it works best for selfies without the drawbacks of red or green hue.

Funny you came to find installing these two on one after the other would give something.. You try each randomly, isn't it?

sorry, but you have a serious problem, I notice that you do not read enough previous messages that I posted or explain that these versions are compatible only for the Samsung Galaxy S7 under the Snapdragon 820 processor, and I do not do that at chance, at first I try first on my smartphone Leeco pro 3 because with this phone all versions are compatible, but the objective is to compare the quality of the images, if it is of good quality I made the try on my Samsung smartphone and if it works, I share it with others in the community who have the same processor as mine because most have tested and posted versions it works on their smartphone, but the problem is that you rush without reading what I posted before, if you resume all my previous messages that I put online or I answer a person who asks me if it works under the Exynos processor? I answer that it does not work because it is not the same processor.
Funny people go crazy for no reason.. For your record, I have spent lot of time searching and trying. And. By the way, the mentioned comboo WORK on my Exynos S7.

Please forgive me for my previous message that I misinterpreted but soon I intend to get the same phone as the samsung SM-G930F is I will do google camera tests thank you
Listen, I'll give you an example on this version
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog324/
which is in my opinion the best GCAM of all the cameras that I tested on my Leeco pro 3, but unfortunately, does not work on the Samsung Galaxy S7 under Oreo because for me, it's the best version of all GCAM that I tested is particularly the most complete in the viewfinder attaches to perfection and works perfectly on my Leeco pro 3 that it is for selfies or tip top of the rear camera, I wanted to run it on the Samsung but alas the crash of the device.
Guys I have been searching a lot for the latest Google Camera 6.1 Mod, (Pixel 3 one with Nightsight) for AOSP based ROMs, didn't find any.
Please drop a link to the one that you guys are using. preferably a TWRP flashable.
TIA, please be kind, Noob here.
The camera was barely ported with portrait mode and it isn't even working that good. Personally i think we would never the nightsight for our exynos processors, snapdragon maybe?
I'm also looking forward to behaving pixel 3 camera with night sight for galaxy s7 exynos
Hi,
I was thinking of buying the op8Pro but for me camera is important (I am coming from a p30 pro) I wanted to ask how the selfie pictures are? How is night mode and so on. And if the latest gcam is working on this device
Cameras are brilliant, plus the gcam alternatives are a lot better than anything Huawei has.
Like anything, the more time you spend with the device the better.
Could they be better, of course all cameras could.
Main pull from OnePlus is it's flexibility and openness, well at least for now anyway..
I'm coming from a p20 pro myself and I really hated it after about 4 months. The OS is just vile.
The reason I was asking is, if it is worth to wait for the t version. I'm not sure if I should just buy it or go for the t variant...
