I wonder if it is possible to mod the camera app in the s8(+) like zeroprobe did with s7 camera (https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/themes/zero-camera-mod-v1-0-increased-bitrates-t3439870) so that we can increase picture image quality and video modes bitrate ? (as most of you know, our brand new-and expensive- s8 already gets beaten by Pixel and Htc u11 in the camera department, but the zeroprobe's Mod on the s7 did wonders: i had the phone and the mod and it was extraordinary). I already asked zeroprobe and he said he will maybe buy the s8 in the future (in a couple of months) because it is too expensive for him (which to me sounds very unsure and definitely too far away). I'm just asking if there are developers here NOW that already have the phone (and also the knowledge how to do it..one could see examine how zeroprobe did it in his mod ).
I could also start a BOUNTY for this Mod (my donation would be 30€ from the start, but if another 50 people donate only 10€/$ it would suffice) and if enough people want this, we could get the interest of some talented (senior) developers here..
So guys, please comment and let me know if you guys are interested in getting the best camera (for a phone that cost a lot and deserves to not be held back by Samsungs software limitations).
Did this require Root?

yes ...so unfortunately no US developers can help right now, I know.. But we have a lot of talented guys here in Europe also.. but not all can afford it unlocked..:crying:
so there are already 6 people who need this mod more than anything in the world.. but they did not leave a donation amount...

I have already modded my S8 camera on the S8 ports. I will post the files shortly, can not guarantee them to work with the S8 though, since im only running on a S7.
Features:
- Increased Bitrates
- JPG Quality to 96%
- HDR, Track-Focus for all resolutions
- Disabled Stickers
- Aqua mode (not sure if it's enabled on S8 by default - basicly locks the screen and allows for underwater recordings)

thanks, flashed and I think it works... but I guess the picture size is still the same as its still 96% like stock? btw, is it possible to add taking pictures when recording 1080p 60fps, I remember the S5 camera mod back in the days it was possible

OK, thanks for the files, I will test it soon.. :good: but what I had in mind was something like an app.. because different people will want different bitrates\jpeg Quality... so we still have to wait for a developer with the s8..
Could some of you fine gents post a before/after pictures to show us the changes? I personally interested in back facing camera quality change for people portraits.
many thanks

Hi,
So i recently got a s5 and unfortunately the slow motion feature on the s5 camera is not in the same level of functionality as its compitotors, like the z2 or m8 (and iphone 5s). I wanted the ability to record the video at the higer fps and then edit which part i wanted in slow motion.
The m8 does this, although cuts the sound (which im actually fine with), and the z2 also does this but keeping the sound and slowing it down also.
So my question or request is: Is there a app, mod or the possibility of one, or even a port of the z2 camera recording( i have seen some features of xperia cameras imported, but not this one), that will do this on the s5?
A user here on the forum suggested to me the app reAction, which does have the slow down effect, but it doesn't slow down a lot and not in the speed that i would like.
Thank you!
No one? :/ what i wanted basicly is an app that records 120fps but can also play it back at regular speed or that doesnt process it to slow down and so i can at least do that in the computer (i guess this is more of a question than request). Or maybe a way to do this with the samsung camera app and a mod, because its in the app that the slow down is made after shooting from what i understood.
What i would really like is a port of the z2 camera or to functions like it or even the m8 that lets you edit. the speeds after. Is a port of any of those possible at all?
Same here. I'm looking for that kind of app. Nothing found yet
I actually just found an app today that it kinda does this, but at the same time it doesnt.
Its called kinemaster and its a video editor that lets you edit the speed of the video and select/make cuts on the video and then slow does down. Problem is that it can only do that with videos of 30fps, even if you have a higher fps video it either wont read it or just give you a message that will scale it down to 30fps. The end result isn't bad but its not really the same thing.
Also, the app is free on the play store and they used to have a paid and free version but now switched to free version but with a subscription a month and what that will do is remove the water marker that the app puts on the corner of the video in the free version. So, it kinda does it but at the same time it doesnt.
It would be much better for the end result to just have a app that would either edit or record it with higher fps and then we can edit that file on the phone. Something like the iphone 5s, or even in the android world the m8 and z2 do(z2 even keeps the sound and slows it down also, but if we could get this even without sound would be great).
The one I found, that of course is not same as having the port from Z2 that it's much easier and faster, is AndroidStudio. Check it out. I always use this one to slow/fast parts of any video
Thanks for the suggestion! I tried it and its indeed easier to select which part is slowed down and it doesn't give that watermark on the videos.
Still not the same as on devices like z2 or m8 (not to mention iphone), but at least is something. I have been looking online, especially on xda which is more reliable, to see if there is a port of the feature of any of these, especially the m8 since some apps were already ported, but no luck.
We would probably need both the camera app and gallery of the m8. From the z2 i think just the camera would be enough since from what i have seen that edit is done there after recording.
I still don't get why Samsung, from all brands with so much features and gimmicks, would just give a video editor or something to edit 120fps to slow down some parts.
Yes, totally. I hope they realize this and they make it. If you have any news about the M8 let me know.
We need to get a huge thread going to get attention
There is a thread in the Note 4 app section where a dev was able to vastly improve the quality of the stock Note 4 app. The software is already there in this time-shift app, all we need is a dev or a few to get into it and get it working. I'm not sure where we would get the most attention but if enough of us get together and request this feature somebody has to take notice. I'm willing to start a bounty and add 100 bucks to it. Here is my thread below, if you guys want to add your support that would be great or if anyone else has an idea of a better way to get some attention I'm all ears.

Hey all,
Sorry if this has came up before - given what the question is it wouldn't surprise me if it had!
Does anyone know what the, generally accepted as, best video recording app for our phones are? After coming from iOS, the camera functions are the only part of the phone that I'm finding it hard to match the iPhone.
I generally take a lot of videos and edit them. Mini-movies aren't aren't at all uncommon for me to film.
Whilst I'm still using my iPad for editing the films (iMovie and so on), I'm anxious to continue to use (and enjoy doing so) my S4 for video recording. My old 5S shot incredible video and even at lower resolution settings the output was generally smoother than the S4 shoots at the same settings.
If I'm stuck with the quality of the video recordings, that's fine and I'll make do. I would just prefer to find an app that can shoot at higher than stock bit rate etc and give me as many options (or close to) that the apps on iOS offers. I came to android as I absolutely LOVE using lollipop and the way it works is brilliant, so as said if I need to continue as I am that's fine. If it helps I'm using GPE 5.0.1 at the moment. Please not I'm not looking to start an iOS vs android discussion, just looking to find out what options I may or may not have and what I might be missing in the Play Store.
Thanks guys,
Pete

Just using this camera app and defo seems to give a better result than TW or other apps I've used in the past, quick question though cause I can't seem to find it anywhere .. Does it allow use of the front facing camera?

I'm interested in manual setting for the camera apps. Anyone tried proshot on their 6p? How is it? any problems? limitation?
What camera apps are you using?
Thanks
check this review, it seems pretty good

Hi! I'm the dev of ProShot. Feel free to ask any questions
To answer yours:
1) No limitations (except for exposure compensation, Google sadly removed that from the Nexus line earlier this year)
2) Working on a bug fix for the upside-down-oriented image sensor. Hope to have that live by the end of the day
I've been using it since it was featured on phonearena. Its a nice full featured app. I just don't think the 6p camera has lived up to the hype for me.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
i downloaded the demo, looks pretty neat. Much more easier to use than Manual Camera. Planning to buy soon!
Hi,
Is there a way to lock the white balance and the focus? Cause I found a little bit annoying when the app is changing the WB all the time during the capturing process.
Thanks!
I have it, but wish there was HDR. Without it I don't use it since it makes a big difference.
No, HDR on Proshot?
Well I hope not.
Leave HDR and any such post processing for Lightroom,CaptureOne,Darktable,Aftershot, (maybe even the not-so-optimal Photoshop) etc... the source file for those programs should be as clean as possible second to the data that went out from the camera sensor. Thats the whole point of any RAW format, that it leaves room for more post processing.
If you need to do instant HDR within there are plenty of apps that does all the "cooking" into a fine ready-to-go JPEG.
Anyway, would be nice to se a sale campaign on this, I just fell on this thread accidentally.
how to quick reset?
Hi all!
After more than a year of hard work I am pleased to announce in this Nexus 5 forum the first beta release of “Camera Super Pixel”, a camera app that takes pictures enhancing the resolution of the camera, improving sharpness and reducing noise.
The app takes a burst of pictures and intelligently combines them into a higher resolution photograph (up to 4x) using an own-developed super-resolution (SR) algorithm. The camera is optimized for static scenes. In other situations the result may not be good.
We are working on improving the performance in terms of speed and quality of the result.
Please send us your feedback if you have any issue with the app.
Thanks for your support!

Hi RonnellTapawan,
the device must support the “burst mode” and raw photo format included in the new Camera2 API. Unfortunately just a few smartphones support this feature. We are working hard to add full support for new devices (Samsung S6 & S7, One Plus Two, LG G4, ...).
Amazing job. Is this possible to make it save photos in dng ? Other than that - once again amazing job

Awesome, can't wait for that. It's just step back behind "L camera" , with raw support it will be definitely best camera app
Nice work ..Keep it Up !
Front camera result is excellent ...atleast 3-4 times better than Google Camera. So this app becomes permanent Selfie app for me
But to be honest i don't see much improvements in rear camera, many times even Google camera with HDR+ performs better than it !

Hi,
the quality varies according to the number of photos the app can mix correctly. You can activate "Debug mode" setting inside the app to check it, we are working hard to improve speed & quality.
Maybe you can add flash and hdr

Hi there, thanks for your efforts. I tried this app on my Z5 E6653. Didn't get the chance to test properly yet but I have a few suggestions for a future release: adding option to enable flash, option to set resolution, and make this app compatible with other devices.
I understand this is still beta but I find the concept very interesting and I'll keep my eye on this one!
Cheers!
Just tested on Xperia Z5 Compact. Works great - definite improvement in image quality. Good idea on the multi image sampling!
Agree with other comments about improved setting options. Although I imagine flash would be difficult to implement due to the camera taking a series of burst shots

Thanks to Wichaya for developing this version of GCam 8.1
After trying different versions of GCam for our Nothing Phone 1, I finally found this proper GCam file!
Tried different config files for days & finally created a one that,
Clicks detailed pictures without too much HDR+ or oversharpening
Very minimal color difference between Main & Ultra wide lens
External-mic works like charm
NOTE:
No macro mode
Slow-motion doesn't work on Ultra-wide cam. Will force close
HOW TO INSTALL:
Download the Atttached GCam file, Install it
Place the Config file in Internal Storage/GCam/Configs8/ Folder
Open GCam, give the required permissions, tap the blank space to your right of shutter icon
On the pop-up, choose "Nalann's Nothing.xml", Click on update & Restart the Camera
There is already gcam thread for this phone.

It depends on who you ask. I personally love using GCam for the colour tones and styles it produces. I personally own a lot of phones including some from the actual Pixel lineup, and the consistency GCam makes on different devices Is just awesome.

I have been using GCam on most of my androids, midrange to premium ones. The lag or delay you noticed may be due to wrong version of Gcam(not optimized for the phone's processor) or an incapable processor that was unable to handle those HDR+ with ZSL(Zero shutter Lag) or atmost minimal lag. It may be even due to an wrong config file.
Personally Gcam provides better details, specially for selfies. Also the color tone, skin tones will be more realistic And few additional options like external mic support, tweaking the image processing as per your likability through advanced settings etc. I was annoyed as i was uanble to use external mic on default camera app of nothing. And finally this GCam version of wichaya helped me out in Fixing this. Im using wireless mic to record videos and it works like charm

Hi, is it possible to use slow motion with more than 120fps ? Because the sensor is capable of. Thanks.
BAd news at this point. It may change, Nothing has gotten back to me and they said that they are going to close my request(case) without any further help from them in regards to this issue.
I will sell my Nothing phone and replace it with another phone since their customer service has taken a complete downfall.
Later on today or tomorrow I should have an update about this.
