That's as good as it gets I'm afraid.

I totally agree the flash on this device is annoying. Lets hope they bring out an update to the camera app to fix this little fault.
I just cant help thinking if only Sony had talked to HTC a bit more and stuck a cybershot on this device would be so much better..

Aye, a k800i xenon flash and camera would've done wonders compared to the current camera. It's a shame such a high-end device has such poor image/video recording really.

[Q] Camera so slow...

So I'm guessing its the device being slow but I wanted to see what everyone else had experienced and if there is a fix.
Basically I find the camera terrible. The only way to get a decent shot with less than perfect light is to use the stabilizer, which as many of you know slows down the pictures as it has to process the picture. This is VERY annoying to me. My iPhone 5s takes a much better shot and instantly without processing.
Has anyone found a fix for this be it prop settings or alternate camera apps?
I have to imagine there is a fix for this...

My last iPhone was the 5 (had the 4s before it). Apple sure has the whole "just works" thing down. That said, I REALLY like the Note 3 camera and the screen - I think it's better than the 5 - but in low light, the processing thing is INCREDIBLY ANNOYING. For a phone with this hardware, you'd think a 2 second "processing" bar would be a thing of the past.

Yea, so anyone find a fix? I want to take pics of my kid and don't have time to wait between pictures...

I am also interested - so "bump" --- I can't stand the "processing." I remember the 4.3 roms had a mention that prevented this. I wonder if the 4.4.2 roms will get it?

yah it's right but i think it can take a very nice picture. for this it take much time. i knew an apps like as capture it. but it will not good for note 3. thanks

I mean seriously. Are these two accounts just for straight trolling or what? I'm so confused.

A Fix!
Hey guys I found a fix!
After poking around on my rom (Beans) I noticed they had the option for the CM 11 camera app so I grabbed it...
BOOM instantly better quality, speed, the works. :good:
So seems like the stock camera app was just terrible. CM got it right and now I'm really happy with the quality.
I compared both cameras and in almost ever case the note 3 was on par or even better than my 5s.
If you guys want some compare shots between both android cams and vs. iphone 5s let me know and i'll post some.
If you want the CM 11 camera I'm sure a little goggling will get you the APK. :laugh:
I'd also love to see what your experiences are and if you found the CM camera app to your liking.

If it's the Google camera you can get it from the Play Store also.

Ah ok, CM 11. Well its awesome.

I really miss a macro mode. I take a lot of close up detail photos for work. Now I use an eye loupe over the lens and it actually works better than before but.. you would have to carry it in your pocket...
On a side note I find the kit kat camera faster than the jellybean camera.

The CM11 camera has macro mode.

Can anyone provide a link to a legitimate download for the CM11 camera? I'm always a little worried of an apk from a Google search. Lol. Unless it is from a reputable website.

[MOD] Torch boost! Full LED power when using your Z1 as a light source!

Hello guise,
This time I'll share with you something that @RyokoN found out. Please thank him here. I just made proper changes to the file he mentioned.
Someday I was killed by my friend N5 torch. It was so bright. Now I decided that I want my torch to be actually useful, just like his torch is. (we were trying to see details in a dark place to fix the window).
It may break your LED if you leave it on for some time. I'm not responsible for any damage. It actually made my back around the LED a bit warm after a few seconds in the extreme version!
Please be aware that it's not safe to test it on devices that are older than Xperia Z as LED's may vary hardware-side.
Anyway, enjoy
Extreme version - just torch
Medium version - just torch
Medium version - torch, camera, flash, notification LED <------------ RECOMMENDED!
Extreme version - torch, camera, flash, notification LED
Revert to stock Z1 torch
It's based on Z1 .108 firmware (4.4.4), but it WILL work on 4.3 roms. Can't say about older android versions - you tell me!
Please test and let me know how it went
It's significantly brighter now. At first it barely gave any light and now it's even brighter then the light in my room on a small distance, lol.
Confirmed working on:
Z 4.4.4
ZR
Z1 Compact
Z1s
Z1 4.3 4.4
Z2 4.4
Z3 4.4

That's what I'm talking about! FINALLY a flashlight that I can use! It works great!

Wow! Tks to your mod, I'm finally throw my flashlight out in the garbage because now it's brighter that that old flashlight.....

Have you checked if the led can endure the increased amount of current?
i dont want my led to be damaged permanently because of this

I didn't, but it's using the same current like the flash in camera. It shouldn't harm your device if you won't use it for a long time like 15 minutes - just a guess.
As always, use it in your own risk.

Ok.. that's awesome!!!! It's amazing, even if you turn torch on when taking a photo it's brighter that flash itself.. I'm wondering
If there is any chance to boost flash at the same level with camera to get better pictures..

1 of the disadvantages of glass+metal: it heats up pretty quickly,

OMG
DANG this is bright, confirmed working for Xperia Z1S I actually kind of blinded myself without even looking at the led directly

If it can increase power of flash in camera, its great. ?

Hi
Great work
This file also found in other devices like sp, Go, z and others
Can i use this for Them?

It's risky using it for a device with potentially different hardware, could burn out the torch

What about notificatin light can you make one for that?

Ok... Wow... This is crazy I thought its impossible.. Bravo.. Im with iHackers 4.1 and it works.
Problem is that its stronger now than the actual camera flash....
Please make a new version where the cam flash will be as strong.. Pleeeease

I know there are 6.0.1 cm13 builds but I like using the stylus or at least having the option to, I might use it some day, you never know

I use CM13 and my pen... there are plenty of ways to get it working.

Oh, with pressure sensitivity? does the camera still work well? 60fps and so on?
Last time I checked there were just too many features from the Samsung roms missing.

The captured images won't be of same quality on CM like it is on TW ROMs. Forget about 60 fps, LOL. It's just the something is better than nothing approach, nothing else.

Yeah, I am talking about quality on a phone cam sensor. The quality difference is so much that even with naked eye, and even a dull headed person will notice the difference! And I am a DSLR guy by the way!

My biggest issue with CM is that there isn't a good multiwindow implementation yet. I know they're working on it (I think Google, could be CM, not entirely sure who exactly it is that's working on it), but the feature is still in early alpha. I can't use my phone without it. It's like not having a browser or a SIM card.

Who was talking about camera sensor! Everyone knows software can't change the hardware sensor! Its the post processing that matters, and that's where TW will thump over any CM/AOSP any day, any time.

Yes and restore it from the camera app... Double tap the empty space near the shutter button, a directory should pop up, if you placed the xml in the right folder, it should show, then restore it, that's all

The restore part did the trick, thank you.
