Hi All,
I have a Note N-7000. I got it just a few weeks before ICS roll out. The Camera behaves weird and now its not the same as it was in 2.3.
daylight photos are okay but low light photos are really thumbs down and a lot of Red-Eye.
I still have photos before and after update and I can see quality of photos degrading after that!!!
Is Every1 having similar opinions or do I need any other settings to better the quality of photos??
Need you opinion...
Camera on ICS AND JellyBean is Better than on GingerbREAD
I still feel that camera quality has degraded in ICS..is your note also a GT N-7000??
Everyones note there is a GT-N7000....would be really weird if the folks who use the american Note were hanging out here.....
But no, I've not noticed it and the camera in the JellyCore ROM (JellyBean rom) is better than the GB one

Personally i found the camera on cm9 based roms disappointing .. Sure its faster but quality is not as same as tw based roms.

We'll my brother has the I717 and comparing my N7000 to his, I'd say the cam resolution is much more cleaner and sharp as compared to mine.. Though I can't say if this is ROM related or so.... he has CM10 installed and I have the (self modified) LRQ one. Not that it matters though.
exactly the same thing I observed that the indian note camera's quality's degraded than thew others..I see a lot of red-eye too when i use flash..is there any setting for removing that or any update or something that would better the quality..??
Edit 1:So as the tittle said, i was thinking of reverting back to 4.4...When i bought the phone , it was already on 5.0.2 and now i'm on 6.0.1 (.291 version)...As far as i'm concerned, no improvements have been done on camera from 5.0.2 to 6.0.1 (also, I face a bug and the last 1-2 seconds of the videos i record are frozen, and no, it's not my sd card's problem as i tried storing at my phone's storage)
The question is: Is stock camera on 4.4 better than 6.0.1?
Edit2 : I flashed 4.4 on my phone. Yes, the bug is real on 6.0.1...camera on 4.4 is almost 2 or 3 times better than 6.0.1.
Auto focus on 4.4 camera while video recording is just amazing guys...
Edit3: Flashed 6.0.1 again. The bug i described on Edit 1 dissapeared(!)
As for the video recording, on 4.4 autofocus worked automatically and really, really fast! When I'm on 6.0.1 I MUST use the camera button so as to make it work fast just like 4.4 did automatically. Hope this helps other users!
Yes 4.4 is absolutely better. I wrote thread in general section, my reasons why 4.4 is better.

Yes 4.4 is absolutely better! In every aspects.
i switched back also...loving this phone again...everything works 10x better... i'm on .77 build of kitkat ..the final one i believe

Camera and video shooting at 4.4 was 10 times better than on 6.0.1. BUT i detected certain bugs (snapchat lagging, i guess it's not well optimized for 'old' android versions)
But video shooting is REALLY bad at 6.0.1 guys...is there any way to use 4.4 camera app on 6.0.1? Autofocus needs almost 15 seconds to change focus and i still haven't found how to touch focus on Sony devices while video shooting! I would really appreciate some help on these things!

Sound on speakers is better at 6.0.1 but i think sound at headphones work better on 4.4....
I'm so confused....if only i could use Sony's 4.4 Camera app on 6.0.1! That would be great!
Can someone post a link to flashable zip with root and recovery of .77 build?
There is 1 link on the forum but from MEGA and I can't fully download it :/ Some others mirrors maybe?

Ever heard of Cyberian camera? I am on latest 6.0.1 and have flashed that camera mod, and I can tell you pictures and video are a blast,
low light photography at its best, and also hdr for 4k, and lots of improvements, you just need root and latest version of sony rom (.291)
Here is link to mentioned mod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony-themes-apps/mod-cyberian-camera-t3267271

You'll need to ftf back to 4.4 if you are on 5.1 or 6.1....then you can flash recovery and then flash whatever you want...use flashtool to ftf back to stock on 4.4

Ahh damn! I just flashed 4.4 again... Again 10 times better photos and 5x faster autofocus on video than 6.0.1!
Thanks for your time lad!
Edit: Is 120fps REAL?! I'd really want to see a video from you and one photo outdoors late night without lights if possible! If that is easy for you then I'd be really happy!

Pretty cool photo for low light! The video quality on 120fps ain't that good i think, do you? It's the same quality like timeshift video!
Thanks for your time once again.

my bad, that was timeshift video from before cyberian
you need to count in that this is reduced quality due to automatic downgrade when uploading to onedrive

I haven't rooted 4.4, i don't like rooting and experimenting wirh it since everything rolls just perfect.You should really give a try, specially for the camera... Video recording focuses 10 times (for real 10 times) faster than 6.0.1 (both stock unrooted without mods), and camera quality is really better!
Also, booting takes about 18 seconds only on 4.4...
If you're using Snapchat, it will lag ( i'm not using heavily, only once a day, so it's not a problem for me), but i'm not using Facebook so I don't know whether it lags or not, but i guess it will work flawlessly. Be sure to keep a nandroid backup before checking 4.4 out!
Let me know if you have any other questions I can answer before you jump on 4.4.
For me the best ROM has been the Concept ROM. It has built-in Doze, nearly as stock as AOSP, battery life is great and it is really stable, fast. Less apps, better ROM. KitKat is great in performance but as it doesn't have Doze, it gives me less battery life cause I don't like to use Stamina mode whatsoever. I love KitKat too, but I hate KitKat's notification panel and settings icons. Concept provides you the most modern looking and one of the most stable and lightweight ROMs out there. As for the camera I use Cyberian Camera, despite it is not optimized for Concept, it is stable and better than the stock. Concept uses stock framework (same as 6.0.1) and haven't had any issues with it, also low-light processing is great!
TL; DR : Try Concept too!

I would, but like I said i don't like to root and install recovery, since i'm still on warranty (will be until December 2017) and since stock roms work perfect for me (except video recording on 6.0.1. .291). Thanks for your reply though.
Edit: I just saw that this ROM does need only ftf file, is this rom the one you're talking about? ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/sonys-android-concept-marshmallow-t3229536)

I tried 4.4, for the first two days i was clean as it gets, but the battery lasted only 3.5h of sot, camera on the other hand was just okej, colours were a bit washed out (comparing to cyberian on MM), and view finder was laggy (cyberian has smooth viewfinder-best thing for me). I also tried video recording, and it was also not that special, focusing speed was the same as it was on cyberian. So after rooting and finally deleting all the bloatware (can't stand it) I realized 4.4 was not for me. So I restored my latest backup of MM and I can tell you I'm glad i tried 4.4 because it made me appreciate MM and my cyberian camera. Btw I am on MxRom fyi.
Just wanted to say this, enjoy and cheers
just wondering does snapchat work well on your devices, thinking of buying this phone but use snapchat a lot. on my current android phone performance of snapchat is abysmal. is it acceptable on the op3t or unusable?
thanks
Much better than what I got on the Nexus 6, which pretty much forced me to downgrade so the features don't slow down my phone. It's been really smooth for me so far.

Hi. Can you post a few photos taken with sc and with stock camera app?
Also, if you're willing to do so, can u take the pictures in both good and bad lightning conditions?
Wanna compare op3t snapchat performance with my iph6
So the non marked ones are stock camera app and the Snapchat ones are saved via Snapchat. I would take this with a pinch of salt as I'm 110% Snapchat compresses the pictures. Also there is no lo light assist via snap while the stock camera has HQ mode for low light. The last plant shot is a Selfie camera pic which BTW is really good.
Hope this helps!

snapchat will never be good on android until the actual developers work on a better code. All it does at this moment is take a screenshot of your display and thats why for us it looks so bad but I will say with owning a 3T that its the best performance of any android phone I have used the app on
I bought a 3T in the end, and there's no lag using it.. Snapchat performance is good, I think it's only been slow once or twice on me. Definitely not something to worry about .
Unfortunately Snapchat is crappy on Android in general. Laggy, poor performance and leads to battery drain sometimes.
Flashed resurrection remix and installed the Google camera app. I think it may not be as good as the Oneplus camera app. I'd like to install it if possible.

Here is a link to the ported OOS camera app. I have used it with custom roms (7.1.1). It is not exactly identical to the stock camera but it is close. When it comes to quality, nothing beats the stock OOS cam on the stock rom/stock-based roms.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/themes/port-oxygenos-stock-camera-cm-t3451721
Shoot. Is it really that much better on stock OOS? I had the phone for a very short period of time before rooting and custom ROM.
Maybe I ought to go back. Most of the features in RR I'm not using. And a better camera is always more welcome.
Did you flash this dirty? Really need to reset?

For nougat, you can simply install the apk files like any regular app. I am not a photography expert or anything. I am just a regular point-n-shoot guy but I feel that the camera in stock OOS is definitely better. If you don't want to be on stock then you can try FreedomOS. It is basically the stock rom but with more features and some customization.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/development/rom-freedomos-1-0-t3538726
I am using FreedomOS with ElementalX kernel and it gives great performance and battery life besides other benefits of stock.

I think it's MILES better on stock versus something like CM/Lineage/RR. For one, the video cameras stutter a ton. You also lose 60fps video. The photos are honestly comparable, but the unusable video absolutely kills it. Furthermore, the camera works much better in 3rd party apps like Snapchat/Instagram. I don't really mind OxygenOS honestly. It's close enough to AOSP IMO, and once I got a blacked out Substratum theme on it, 99% of the UI is exactly how I had it on CM previously anyway.
I've tried the Pixel 4 XL, and it is one of the most beautiful phones I have ever seen, I don't use Snapchat much, but when I do use it (I'm on a Note 9) the filters seem to lag a bit, and when I used my friends Pixel 3, Snapchat ran beautifully until i ended up trying to use a filter, it lagged like crazy, way worse than my Note 9, I'm not expecting much of a difference on the Pixel 4, but I want to know if the lag is atleast reduced when using filters. I also know that Snapchat is going to do a major update at the end of this year but I don't know if I should trust them. I'm debating between iPhone 11 Pro and the Pixel 4. I want the Pixel because of Stadia too, my friend has it and Stadia actually ran beautifully, and I saw Red Dead 2 on it and I really want to get a Stadia now, especially since at 1080p Red Dead runs at 60 fps

Ah! Yep there's definite lag using the age filter but that's the only one, but it is quite bad.
Another thing I noticed with Snapchat is that the zooming seems laggy/jittery both when taking pics and videos...or is it just me?
