Device: SM-N9005
ROM: DjeMBey MI6, deodexed, rooted, no knox, 0x1 void
Kernel: Lean Kernel
Note 3, from UK

Installed the 4GB limit version, with 100Mbps bitrate.

Recorded a video, 2 minutes 34 seconds. File is 886MiB. Bit rate reported: 48.1Mbps. Audio is 128Kbps.

So my stance is, not working :( I doubt it is kernel related... might do a 5 minute test now to see if it works...

EDIT: 5 minute limit is not bypassed for me. I installed it correctly with Aroma, code 0 at the end.

Would it be possible for you to create a youtube video on how to install this in flash mode? great sounding app by the way. I am sure more users will want to install it if proper instructions are posted through youtube.

Version 2 is up on OP, try it out and let me know if it works for you. (for those of you who flashed V1 and it didn't work just flash V2 and let me know if it works, no need to wipe anything or restore anything before flashing)

It is seriously self explainitory... you flash through recovery and follow on screen instructions but I will provide a youtube install video when I have a chance... 2 jobs and school are really killing me right now.

yes much much better quality, i will upload a video of each quality on youtube when i get the chance. I can say 50mbit bitrate looks amazing (at a 7mb per second rate though instead of 3MB)

Ok, tried version 2, my device details are in my other post on this thread.

Now I have no Camera app. There is a broken shortcut in my launcher but no app.

That's 4gb 100Mbps version.

So V2 is failed for me.

    Did one better ;) , made it flashable: (by the way no need to clear anything aka cache or dalvik but always a good idea if you have any problems

    Flashable

    Non-flashable

    I decided to poke around today and figured out (cheers kevinrocksman & alexhc18) how to raise both the 4k and 1080p bitrates as well as 100% image quality on 4.4.2 TW.

    Here is my modified SamsungCamera2.apk file with the following bitrates:

    4k @ 80mbit
    1080p @ 22mbit
    192kbps audio for both
    100% image quality (uncompressed)

    Working great on my N9005 :)
