[Q] Worst image quality on gallery - Galaxy S3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys
I found that when I shoot a photo, it has a very high quality when is on shooting, but when I search for it in gallery, its quality is a lot decreased, comparing to it while I was shooting. How should this be fixed? (I use Camera FV-5 for the camera, and QuickPic for the gallery)
Maybe should I apply a mod/tweak, or some mods to build.prop?

Try stock camera or Google camera. And just you can use stock gallery. Try it. And tell us what is the result?

I'll try it, thank you. With Google Camera i've already tried and had worst quality both on shooting and on gallery . I found a solution, modifying every photo after the shot with an image editing app, but it means a big waste of time...Do you know if I should download stock apps? Or do I have to extract them from stock firmware compressed file?

Its your choice. But may be there are something wrong in your rom. Which one have you used? If you have a custom rom you should have to try a stock one. And if you are on stock then try to re flashed a firmware.

Can I change the camera preview to launch another gallery app?

Hi fellas,
I did my searching around but couldn't find this solution.
Currently, the preview thumbnail on the camera can only launch Samsung's Gallery3d app. Can I change this to another app?
I'd like to use GalleryICS, coz it's alot faster.
I tried copying the APK into system/app and renaming it to gallery3d but that didn't work.
Thanks in advance!
Any help?
Up again....!
Change it

Not that I know of, but you could try the stock JB camera, which includes a Gallery and a Camera app.

Thanks for the reply!
I did try out the app "Camera ICS" but didn't found it to be that good. I've also heard the pix quality is affected. However, let me try out the 4.3 camera.. that could be a good compromise

are you talking about Touchwiz camera or AOSP camera? The picasa sign in notifications are from Google+ app, remove/freeze that.
It was the stock photo gallery app with the Samsung S5 SM G900 FD.
It's just called photo gallery. I erased it and replaced it with a different photo app. Now i lost some functions like attaching photos from a text. I need to know how to reinstall it?
Any ideas?

Correct me if I'm wrong but what you're saying is that you have not flashed any custom roms, haven't rooted and yet managed to delete the stock gallery app?
If that is correct go to settings>apps>app manager find your new photo app and click reset/delete defaults
I did root the phone which is why i was able to delete the stock photo app

Ok. Download stock rom, extract camera app from there. If you have CWM/TWRP backups extract camera app from them with winrar or your favourite archiver. It should also work if you download any touchwiz based rom and extract the camera app from there.:good:
Thank you! ! You wouldn't happen to have a link to the stock rom would you?
I didn't back it up with cwm because i was so annoyed by the constant sign in attempts that i thought there's no way i would ever want it back lol! I'm pretty new to this whole thing of tampering with system files and definitely not a guy who knows much about computers so as much info as possible is very much appreciated! !
Thanks! !

That sign in prompt is Google+ afaik not camera app. Anyway here's a link to a touchwiz rom for your phone, download it and extract the camera/gallery/photo app from there. Next time remember to always make a backup in recovery, you never know when you might need it :silly: :good:
Great thanks a lot! !?
Strange thing i extracted the system rom from that link you gave me. I can't find the photo gallery app anywhere in it. Can find everything else but that, any ideas where it might be hiding?

OK I found it, it worked, everything back to normal! I used the search tool and it came right up. Thanks again for the help, it sure is interesting to play around with these gadgets! Amazing to see the sheer volume of information that goes into programming one of these things when you actually get to physically see the programming. A world few people will ever get to see.

Front Camera Flip/Mirror Mod?

I would like to know if there are any solutions out there to prevent the stock camera from flipping/reversing photos taken with the front facing camera. I know there are alternative camera apps that have the option enabled however I prefer the stock camera app due to its quality and functionality with the 6P
Just wondering if there were any mods, apps, editing tricks or work arounds to prevent android from reversing photos taken with the front facing camera.. Its pretty inconvenient to manually edit and flip them myself.
So you want them to stay backwards? Mine shows them as mirrored or backwards in the viewfinder, but are flipped to be "normal" when I view the photo afterwards.

I hate it too. I saw the image I capture in my view finder only to look at it on my laptop and I'm like ummmmmm what's this
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
I have this too on my Nexus 6P and Oneplus One, really hate it. There is no option to disable it, so I would like to have an (root needing) app or a xposed module to fix this. Anyone?
Nexus 6P selfie reverse
Hello Everyone, I am facing trouble with selfie (Nexus 6P), the images are in mirrored mode. I tried to reverse the photos, but no luck. I hope everyone got the settings already, just reiterating. When I am taking selfie with my Nexus 6P. The image showing as reverse but when I goto gallery it is storing as original( Not mirrored). So I am picking the photos from gallery and sending my dear ones.
Thank you so much

Back camera not saving pictures! Help

Hi,
So yesterday I was out and I took a few pictures and noticed the camera app was NOT saving them. The front camera worked fine and saved correctly but every time I take a picture with the back camera it seems as though it's taking the picture but doesn't save it.
I updated today to 7.1 and same issue. I tried uninstalling the app updates but still same issue. Any idea? Can I flash the camera app somehow?

You may want to try to download another camera app, or use another app you may already have (i.e.: Snapchat), to see if it's the camera app or the camera itself.

How to use the third camera?

I was wondering, If I install a custom ROM such as Lineage how do I take pictures from the third camera? That one with a wider lens behind the phone.
As you can see in the image attached, that is what I mean. I tried to find apps in the playstore but none of them offers me the option to use this wide angle camera.
This is still my first matter before moving to a new ROM.
Thanks.

Alright it turns out to be a software problem, the third camera is only accessible through the stock ROM with the stock camera.
I tried using Open Camera which recognizes three cameras but it doesn't take pics from the third one. I will wait for the OneUI 2 update from Samsung to see whether it'll be solved or not.

I've solved the riddle.
If you compare the field of view between std and pano, they are the same.
Go to settings, camera API
Activate camera 2api
Now compare the std and the pano.
The pano uses the wide angle (3rd) camera.
Edit; this doesn't work of you are running OneUI.
Only from a gsi
@physwizz your idea is good but OpenCamera still doesn't recognize it.
As you can see in the image attached bellow, the app knows that there are three cameras and if I keep switching between them it passes over three cameras' id's and none of them is the wide-angle camera. Well, I am using lineage with the reapper kernel. Which one were you using when it worked?

sorry,
You must be right.
It looked like I was getting wide angle but I had the resolution set differently on the std.
My mistake.
