Does anybody know what diameter does the i9000 have around the camera?... i want to buy a fisheye lens for my phone, but i want to know the diameter first, and no sites currently show it
Hi,
not sure I understand the question, but the Galaxy S camera has an aperture/F-stop 2.6 with a Focal Length of 3.79 mm
Hope that helps,
Pierre.
About 1/3"

So I saw where you could install a ffc on the Samsung vibrant. Would this same procedure work on the captivate? Sorry if this is a rediculous question, Thanks
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Based off of some tear down pictures. I don't think it is possible. It seems as though the camera module used in the Captivate is slightly different in that the flex cable seems to be angled from the chip to the module whereas it appears to be straight in the Captivate. Also, the pictures of the Captivate show that it 4 posts on the corners holding the camera module in place ... this seems like it would interfere with the flex from the big camera module to the front camera module that is right on the corner.
I currently have a Captivate and really wish I could do the front facing camera mod too. I would instantly do it. I also really wish I could get the Vibrant because I am on T-mobile myself but my T-mobile blocks all T-mobile branded Android phones from the T-zones plan. If only IMEI changing/spoofing wasn't illegal.
well anything is posible but it's not easy on the captivate. and even if you get the hardware i dont know if the kernel will work, even an i-9000 kernel and rom might not see it, lust like we dont have fm radio or hsupa and when we fix hsupa bluetooth audio doesnt work.
i have had my phone apart and i realized something that should have been obvious. our camera is mounted higher in relation to the screen than a vibrant/i-9000/fascinate. what you would see if look at an i-9000 is that the ffc is mounted to the top of the rear camera, this is the most likely to work, the epic cameras are mounted seperately and require an additional connector to the board that doesnt exist on a captivate.
i would need a gt i-9000 camera assembly and a spare captivate camera to determine if the ribbon cable would cross over being that they are different. i have a feeling that they wont and would need either a very difficult and delicate splicing proceedure or a custom cable made and the cable has a video chip on the end with a connector underneath so that's another part to buy, if that's required i dont see it ever getting done for a lack of practicality.
now comes the mounting, as i said our camera is higher and the ffc gets mounted on top. if we mount there the camera would protrude through the top of the phone, to the right and below (viewed from the back) we have circuits so it cant go there, to the left we have an antenna(gps maybe dont know) if we move the antenna and butcher the board that might work but i wouldn't. instead i would let it protrude from the top of the phone above the glass and mold in a hump into the plastic. the plastic is molded directly over the metal chassis and cant be removed so it would need to be milled away and some sort of veneer would need to be made.
all in all i want to try it but a lot needs to be established before i drill holes in my phone, i need a gt i-9000 camera to play with and some spare captivate parts. once i test that the hardware and firmware work i can mod the frame for it to fit(i am a machinist so i think i can work the latter part out). that'll need to wait till i have spending money.
Actually if you look at the orientation of the chip, camera, and front camera ... it would actually work for the Captivate. The biggest problem I see is that the posts holding the camera module that I stated before and possibly whatever is beneath the headphone jack. Based on the orientation of the camera module and stuff the front facing camera would be right underneath the headphone jack next to the AT&T logo.

let me reiterate. i have had the phone apart....
there is no room under the headphone jack nor is there room between the jack and the screen. also the ribbon cable is quite different.

the joggle in the ribbon cable goes the wrong way, and i would need to have a camera assembly on hand but i do not think the ffc could sit to the side of the rfc. i dont know how thin the ffc is but i can tell you there is plastic under the headphone jack and to remove that without breaking the glass would be quite a feat. and then it is questionable weather it will fit. you may as well drill a hole throug the glass for the camera to poke through. all i can think of to not completely butcher the phone is to remove the headphone jack completely. but at that point you can just buy an i-9000 and call it good.
we have different headphone logic, the pinouts are different for some components, it is highly questionable as to whether the hardware will even work without a kernel mod and the developer wont have detailed hardware specs to work with or source for some of the samsung specific code.
This is about the 5th new thread on the subject.....
The forum search is amazing - it returns threads when you search - what a concept.
It is a ridiculous question because it has been asked many times before.
If you had searched, you would see i posted my FFC hack (2MP - not a mirror) a couple times.
Agreed this has been gone over a number of times. Please search before opening a new thread.
I deem this thread closed
Is it possible to take a i9000 LCD+digitizer, unglue them from the i9000 front glass and put them on the i897 front one?
Are the connectors identical and compatible?
I'm asking because it's impossible to find Captivate parts in Europe.
Thank you!

I would advise you not to mix and match parts from different devices. If you cant find in Europe, they're on ebay:

One thing I am really disliking on my S4 is the camera apertue. Compared to my old S3 it feels like I am ten steps closer to my subject. And yes I am not zoomed in. It just feels like I am. Is there anything that can be done to make it act like the S3?
I think you're confusing aperture (f-stop/exposure control) and focal length (the amount of "zoom", measured in mm).
You are correct. I should be using the term focal length. The S3 is 26 mm and the S4 is 31. A small but annoying difference for close objects. Since this appears to be hardware is there a way to compensate for the narrower field besides stepping backwards?

As already said, it's matter of focal length. S4 has "worse" (longer -> narrower view) than S3. S4 Active (i9295, this forum) has longer than S3 too but it seems that it has shorter (wider shot area) than vanilla S4 (i9505). Stepping back is probably the easies way. You could attach lens to change this behavior but it's impractical for daily use, costly and quality of lens varies. There are also extreme modders who play with idea of exchanging whole camera modules and there are small cameras as mobile accessories too. But if I cared about camera in my phone that much I would probably choose phone accordingly in the first place or used real camera instead.
Just got the 2016 version of the Gear VR and I like it a lot ... except for the lenses. They magnify the image too much, so the pixels appear too large and too visible IMO. The same material looks much better to me when viewing it through my SnailVR SVR headset. So I want to use the SVR lenses with the Gear VR ... If you changed the lenses on your Gear, please tell me how it went and if you have any advice, please share ...
all mod lenses were made for GearVR 2015 because the lenses were uniform and mostly were to replace original lenses by prescription glasses , these helped short sighted zoom the device further forward and thus it becomes less pixelated or people with high ipds or variable eye to eye measures see clearly , with the little help from youtube the gear vr lenses could be removed , measured and moded lenses were made by skilled oculists to replace the original lenses . it is commonly advised not to buy the 2016 version of gear vr if you plan to do so since the lenses on these are not uniform . however if you are willing to take the risk your first concern is to find an oculist ready to do the mod for you since it requires delicate equipment and treatment , then just seek gear vr 2016 tear down videos to see if you are able to replace them.

Thank you, night-mayor!
Can you tell me what you mean by "not uniform"?
they are not circular , they have part of the circle missing , and 0.5 cm around their diameter are narrowed further more than the rest of the lenses curve . it even creates a distortion that nobody knows why they want it

Ah, of course. I actually noticed this but didn't realize that's what you meant. The Rift and VIVE also have this, and if I had to guess I'd say it lets you get a little closer to the lenses, having the bottoms cut at an angle like that gives you more room for your nose.
So no replacing the lenses ... but I wonder if I should still do the "FOV mod," where you remove part of the black plastic "shroud" to allow you to see more of the screen image ...
Hey folks does any one know, owns or tried any good clip on lenses and/or filters for the note 20 ultra? I wanted to try some night sky and beach photography with my phone and was wondering if i can get some advice if some one has tried any of these accessories?
I haven't seen a single lens kit that I would keep with the hassle of it being attached most of the time that would take better pics than the stock camera lens.
