Hi guys, I am a proud owner of a rooted Samsung Galaxy S4 Active. And I bought it because I am a very outdoor guy and I skate, mountain bike and what not. The main reasons why I bought my device is because it's rugged. Unfortunately when I bought it, I was informed that it would support the slow motion capabilities of the original flaship device (Samsung Galaxy S4) Which is around 1/2 , 1/4 and 1/8 of the video speed.
Well my s4 active didn't support this feature and I was devastated. But upon searching about it, I knew that s4 active had the same exact 8 megapixel shooter as of the note 2 and s3. There were threads suggesting that the slow motion capabilities of note 2. (Yes, note 2 supports slow motion 1/2 1/4 and 1/8) can be ported to s3. And I've seen people do this and it supports the slow motion capabilities smoothly after the port. :fingers-crossed:
Since S4 Active has the same camera as of s3 and note 2, I ported that camera2.apk of note 2 to my s4 active see if the slow motion could work as well. It did run, and although the screen resolution was different and the camera app displayed a smaller application display than normal, it did function. However the slow motion was bad. really bad compared to those of ported to s3 from note 2. I came to a conclusion that the bit rate of video. was weak on my phone. In case of hardware and software, the s4 active is way superior of that of s3 and I believe that the slow motion feature can be really ported to s4 active somehow. First in order to do that, we have to increase the bit rate of the s4 active's video to 30mbit/s as of that of note 2. It was similarly done to s3 and this is why it supported the slow motion. I don't know how to increase the mbit/s of the device. But there are multiple ways that people do. Many mods are there are for s3 which improves it's bit rate.
If there's a developer who could help out in porting slow motion from either note 3, ported s3 or even s4 to say the least, please please help? It would be really amazing if we could get slow motion for the s4 active. :highfive:

Ugh, I'm willing to pay a certain amount for someone who could solve this! I need this so bad.
I'm thinking that no 1 care about this phone, especially Samsung.
So I will sell my S4 or swap it to Nexus 5.
The only thing I can suggest, check the play store....there are a bunch of apps for slow motion. Unfortunately, unless the bootloader gets unlocked, there's not much you can do.

Great feature

The only thing is that the S4 Active internetonal version got bootloader unlocked, so that should be easy. (I thinkso)

I've actually checked with a lot of apk's but no avail. Couldnt find a decent slow motion app. Do you know any?

Is there a way to have the stock camera from s6 to note 4?? I would love to be able to edit the video slow motion on my note 4 like the s6.. thanks in adv
Is there a way to get the note 5 or s6 camera on our note 4? Or at least a mod with smooth video recording like on lollipop?
I'm a longtime Note 2 user. I love it. But cameras have advanced so much since its release, I'm considering a newer Note for sharper no-flash photos and better low-light pictures. I'm curious whether the Note 3's enough of an upgrade (with a Note 7 ROM) or if I should spend the extra and get a Note 4.
Obviously the Note 7 would have the best camera, but we know that's not an option. Note 5 would be next-best, but I like removable batteries and expandable storage. So, Note 3 or 4.
I can look at comparison videos all day, but it's different with custom ROMs. Can someone say if the Note 4 camera makes a big enough improvement to skip the Note 3?
Also, is the Note 3 the only Note with an IR blaster? Or just the first?
Any other notable differences?
I don't mind screen ppi or nits. Mainly looking for everyday-user differences like camera quality, unique features on the 3/4, or anything else you consider important when deciding which to get if I'm coming from a Note 2. Thanks for any answers!

Note 3 vs note 4
Camera
Rear13 front2 vs rear16 front3.2
Screen quality
1080p. Vs. 1440 2k
Note 3 no heart rate aensor but note 4 does
Battery 3200 vs 3220
Note 3 snapdragon 801 2.2 ghz vs note 4 805 2.7 ghz
In my opinion the biggest difference between note 3 and note 4 is screen quality note4 2k screen is amazing.once you hold note 4 for couple of days then go back to note 3 you will definitely feel the difference.
The note 4 has the IR blaster as well, i am not sure about the note 5
I gave up the note 3 to my wife after buying the note 4... I will have to say that note 3 is a trouble free phone!!
If you get the 4, make sure it''s either new with warranty or recertified with full warranty, because some issues exist with the note 4.
Good luck!
No pen window

One other thing is that the Note 3 has the pen window like the Note 2, but it went away with the note 4. I used it alot. Was one of my favorite features. Might be something to consider if you use that alot.

What issues have you had?
Also, how's the camera compared to Note 3? Is it a lot better in low light, for example, kids playing indoors or similar settings of low-light activity?

That's great to know! Thanks. I wonder if it came back in any custom ROMs. I could live without it, but I used it pretty often, too. Once DN4 ROM came along though (and other Note 4/5/7 ROMs since then; it was just the first of its kind), I quickly got used to resizing and minimizing apps like newer Notes. Works wonders for multitasking!
Note 4 > Note 3

It's rumored that the motherboard goes out after a couple years but No one will nail that down!
The camera is awesome note 3 won't compare to that and screen resolution but as said my wife's note 3 chugs along while I'm resetting and fixing my note 4
Does anyone have working apks for these? I was able to install the most recent updates from apk mirror but they don't show in my camera modes or edit camera modes. Does anyone know if these are being worked on?
I want dual mode too...

It is truly disappointing how Samsung removed the additional Camera modes for Note 9 users..
i have them on my s7flat

I believe the Note 8 camera has no issues using the different downloadable modes (dual camera, sports, surround shot). Problem is trying to make them work on the Note9.

Not just that, it's much more disappointing that they actually decided on going with a *lower* resolution sensor than that of the Note 4 (of all).
I would never have expected that years along the line, camera quality for the Samsung Note range would go down, instead of up. Especially not in the steps from Note 4 towards Note 9.
But it did, and they're not even sorry, it seems.
We need a heavily amped up camera mod, with 100% jpeg and such. I'll try what I can do myself.
