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.

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?

Hi Guys
I’ve recently shifted from OnePlus 3 to Note 8 and I use an iPhone 6S as a secondary phone.
I like everything about the phone but I feel that the camera is not satisfactory. I feel that my iPhone 6S is giving me better clicks than the Note 8
I don’t use any filters and everything is set to automatic on both the devices.
Does any other user have this same feeling?
My daughter has an iphone 6 and a 7 plus, and I can tell you for sure, that my note 8 beats both of them easily
I have to agree with you.
I've come from the Huawei Mate 9 Porsche Design and find that the pictures using that are in another league - especially moving pictures.
I'm not very happy with the camera on the note but I'm not sure there is anything can be done, is there?
The camera is better but maybe try the Pixel Camera Mod? I've been using that and have noticed photos come out a little bit better compared to the stock camera app.

Will surely try that. Thanks!!
Hello everyone, I upgraded from note 4 to note 9. In Note 4 I had option in camera apk where I could choose camera mode where both camera rear and front was using I the some time. I can not find this option in note 9. There is no any download section either. It is very disappointed for note 9. Does anyone know is it any chance to bring this option for note 9?
It was removed from the camera a long time ago.
On Note8 i was able to use it .. downloaded from apk mirror and it worked ... Tried the same with Note9, but without success

It`s shame such device can`t use both rear and front camera in the same time but my old device Galaxy Note 3 can do this simple task! Probably somebody will find a way for us!
Really disappointing
Same here bro, i upgraded from note 4 to 9 and realise that dual camera option is missing. What a bull****. Shame on Samsung, first they took free inbuilt Radio and now dual camera option.

Depending on which Note 9 you have,the FM capabilities might be there,you'll have to install an FM radio app:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/help/fm-radio-enabled-t3833113
Anyone manage to get this working? The mode is useful else all photos taken by me won't have me in it
I upgraded from note 5 to 9 and am surprised to see my most used camera function gone. I thought Samsung was all about the bloatware.
This bixby button can go to hell too.
I can't understand what the practical, or "business" reason, Samsung has for removing this very useful feature. Are there at least any third party apps that can do this?
Alternative dual camera
Try this... Work well in my note 9 with Android P

lol? it takes one picture, then second and then merge them together... this is not the same as samsungs dual picture (which was live).
I what you wish to do is take a high quality photo of for example friends and yourself or landscape and you, how about set up camera on case 'stand', compose picture then take remotely with bluetooth pen 'shutter release ' function
If you search and download the dual camera apk it will install just fine in Oreo 8.1... but unfortunately it needs an older camera apk.
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

Dual camera. I'm using a Verizon samsung Galaxy Note 8 and it works.

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.
I like to buy the best photo phone - is P30 Pro for me?
I don't care for nothing like NFC and so on....
HELLO
Do You think P30 Pro is now the best photo making phone?
Is it also the best video making phone? Cause in videos Samsung tand to be the king here
I have Samsung Galaxy S8, will I be happy with:
1) photos of P30 Pro
2) videos of P30 Pro
?
How about the world situation with Huawei Phones?
I don't know anything about it. Shall I be calm and go head buy the phone?
S10+ makes worse pics than P30Pro in my opinion
Ive had this phone for over two weeks. I think the photo quality is good in most conditions. Then again I'm coming from a oneplus 6t. As for video the Sony xperia 1 seems to be the best gathered from reviews. I would say this is the best vetsitile camera. Low light conditions and 10x zoom no other phone can compare. Day to day shot this phone has impressed me. For me personally I bought this phone for battery life and camera and the fact performance is just as good if not better then top flagships
Photo quality is great, but battery life is amazing
I came from a S9+ and honestly... In a overall situation, I think that my old phone took better pics with the GCam app... The sharpness was higher, especially from pics of people.
In video, I also prefer the Samsung. When I try to record a video, the focus is in the most of time searching for a focal point, even if is in it face!
Isn't that P30 PRO is a bad phone, but in overall I prefer the S9+ with GCam.
You can only record videos in 4k 30 FPS which is a bummer. If you want the best video making phone, I'd suggest LG V40 or V50 (V40 has a limit of like 10 minutes in 4k 60FPS, not sure about the V50 though). Otherwise you can wait for the upcoming Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro. Those phones should have 4K60FPS recording.
As for photos, the P30 can definitely take some amazing pics and has a great night mode (although it doesn't work for selfies like Pixel's Night Sight. Just a small thing to note.)

GCam is truly magical, I wish it was possible to port it for Kirin devices.
Im a mate20x owner but i can that all Huawei phones are extremely inconsistencd when it comes to taking photos. I think the main issue is the discrepancy between the viewfinder and the final photos. Most of the the times the picture will have diffferent exposure than the viewfinder and that will introduce tons of issues when taking point and shoot photos.
Also, the skin tones is really bad and seems to target Asian audience, i wish there was a way to edit them like similar to selfies.
Tldr, highly inconsistent software that you cant depend on when taking point and shoot photos.
