Can anybody help me?

Thanks.

JPEG100% (lossless)/(4.4.4 YUV sumbsampling will be best not 4.2.0)

4K30 = 70mbit/s
1080p30 = 40mbit/s
720p30 = 25mbit/s

160kbit/s / 44100hz / Stereo

someone can make .apk with that settings or tell how to change it in "SamsungCamera2.apk" ? (N9005 4.4.2)

Video Samsung S5 vs Sony FDR-AX100

Search google for this: samsung S5 UHD FDR-AX100 Sony

The FDR-AX100 is Sony's new 4K consumer camcorder ($2000).

It will show a youtube video comparing the new Sony 4K camcorder with the S5. I downloaded the UHD video and analysed it For the outdoor part, the S5 is more colorful and brighter. The S5 part seems slightly sharper. The S5 part looks slightly more compressed (as visible on the grass). The S5 cam might benefit as well from a higher bit rate, unless the compression I saw is the result of the youtube compression.

Camera mod at 100 lossless quality

Can anyone confirm that the camera does indeed take a noticeably better photo?

I can vouch that it works

I remember when cameras had a macro option for taking close-ups. I don't know why they stopped doing that.

There is problem with 4.4.2 APK/ZIP (whatever) version
My Note 3 is deodexed,stock. Audio bitrate is fine (~188kbps) but video is only 50mbps (stock its ~48mbps)
@kevinrocksman - do you will try to change this? Do you still working on it?

Thanks.

1) Root the device using a windows PC

2) install app RootBrowser (icon: black android pirate) , which does the unmout and remount of the /system automatically

3) with rootbrowser, go to /system/app/
rename SamsungCamera2.apk to SamsungCamera2.apk.bak
rename SamsungCamera2.odex SamsungCamera2.odex.bak

4) copy new camera apk to /system/app/
5) change permission of a new app: rw-r-r

6) edit media_profiles.xml in /system/etc : increase max bit rate for video from 500000 to 1000000 (or more)
<VideoEncoderCap name="h264" enabled="true"
minBitRate="64000" maxBitRate="100000000"
minFrameWidth="176" maxFrameWidth="3840"
minFrameHeight="144" maxFrameHeight="2160"

7) set permissions of media_profiles.xml to rw r r

8) reboot

I have always wondered why we can't manually drive the focus with steps. Would make sense to do this but I assume there are issues with how the lens is actually moved in and out.

 

[nerys71]

anyway to lock the camera into infinite focus? or at least perform autofocus and then turn OFF auto focus so it stays put as I take pictures?

BURST mode used to be usedful. on the S3 Original rom (I keep one s3 not upgraded for just this reason got it somewhere) you could switch to burst mode. as soon as you touched the shutter button WHAM away it went 20 shots.

now you have to press and hold to use burst rendering burst mode useless for anything that is actually since its long gone by the time the system realizes HEY you want to shoot a burst of images!

anyway to restore that functionality?

Thanks you man! It works!

Cool, I always hated how they limited the amount of time you can record 4k video.

I used this procedure and was able to get the camera app working... However, I still see the 5 minutes... I haven't tried to record past 5 minutes, but wanted to ask if that is supposed to still be there.
Also, I noticed the frame rate is 30 FPS... Can we get 60 or 120?
I didn't see a bit rate increase myself and I changed the number to as specified. I'm probably doing something wrong.

Model: N900P
Rooted
4.4.2

4.3 > SamsungCamera2-100mbUnlim.zip

Hello to all,
can someone tell me if there is a improvement from 50Mbs to 100Mbs ?? I have tryied it and see no difference only the consume of MB in my SD-Card, from 360MB to 730MB for 1minute...
I see a little bit more of quality when i make x4 zoom previewing the 4K video it on the phone, put pause and make a screenshoot and compare it on my PC, but nothing more than that...
Has someone made some comparasion with other quality MOD´s ?

[SebasC]

anyone have quality comparison?

 

[deforce]

Sorry if this is s stupid question havent kept up with android in a long time and got myself one that cant be rooted (att note 3) does this onstall on stock rom non rooted?

 

[GAPO]

Hello, kevinrocksman. I just downloaded and flashed the 4.4.2 version. Backed up first. So far, everything looks good! I have no way of comparing the images. So I guess I'm not sure if it works, but I am sure that it has caused no harm. NC5(D), rooted, Vision_X ROM.

Root is a helluva drug.....

 

[oktay50000]

i tried but cant get more than 51mbs and i think 30fps is low for 4k
it should be 60 for smooth movies...any ways to get 60 fps
30fps causes shuttering when moving phone
