Galaxy S2 Camera Firmware - Samsung Apps - Galaxy S II Themes and Apps

Have any of you updated the camera firmware using this app from the samsung app store?
What difference does it make after updating?
Swyped from my GT-I9100.

Yeah. can't really tell any difference to be honest. Supposed to get rid of the pink spot though. You might wanna make sure you have loads of battery when you do it though - I had a massive drop in battery % from 62 -> 35 when I did it last night

Lol thats strange.. I did my update when I had 9% battery.. I think it was 6% when It finished. Never checked the pink spot thing before the update so cant say if it worked for me.
Edit: I see a pink spot.
Swyped from my GT-I9100

pink spot still here

Got the PINK PROBLEM from the update!

Same here Any way to revert back?

no it's irreversible !

I have sample version of galaxy s2 flashed to final firmware. I updated camera firmware from samsung apps and now camera flash has no use, when I shoot photos with flash on, flash goes and after this camera shoots and photo is as dark as without flash.

Just checked and flash seems to be still working good for me, with this latest firmware update.

Changed my phone to final retail. I will not flash that again

There is a way of reverting back if update goes wrong, use the restore option for the camera app, you must have tiatainum backup installed and have you data backed up before hand & be rooted..

Horizontal line

Pulled my new galaxy s 2 out of my pocket and noticed a thin horizontal white line about 1 inch from the top of the screen, Only on the lock screen. I changed lock screen background and reset the phone but it s still there in the same location (edge to edge). There is no physical damage to the screen and the line is not visible any other time (home screen, pictures, games all fine so far). Anyone else seeing this? Screen shots soon. Maybe normal and i never noticed it?

This happened to my phone except on the bottom just one line acroos the phone it would be on all screens and then sometimes it wouldn't be there. I warrantied the phone.
My vibrant did that after I dropped it. :-( the glass cracked and broke the digitalizer.

Can anyone confirm that they do not have a horizontal line under the clock on the stock lock screen like the picture attached?. (not my lock screen btw) after looking around on google it seems this may be normal, but it's hard to find pictures of just the lock screen for the stock rom...thanks for the replies...Not sure how i missed it if it is normal...

not normal. Seems like stuck pixel. Since its an led screen each pixel is an led basically. I would return it if you could if not try to run a test. you can find one from the market just dont remember the name.

noooo. he took a screenshot...that means that a picture of the image being sent to screen for display to the user. Screenshots do not show hardware defects. I believe this to be a bug in the system. I would odin back to stock and post back with results. Not factory reset...odin
edit: if it IS a hardware defect, then it is probably the graphics chip that renders the image that is going bad...not the actual screen
Picture i posted is not my screenshot, gound that with google and added the arrow...i can confirm the line is not visible on any other screen just lock..i really just dont recall seeing it before. Used a screen test app and all screens look ok to me...

then it is most probably just a bug. Are you updated to latest Kl1 firmware? If not, you can update through odin without losing your data. If you are on tha latest firmware and dont want to go through the hassle of odining stock again and setting up everything again then i would just not worry about it as its only on the lock screen
Screen
I do believe that's a design element. I have the exact same thing on the lock screen and I have a brand new phone made January 20th.
I had that when i updated to kl1 or when i used one of the first versions of juggernaut. Just do a fresh install or odin/factory reset from phone.

Yes that's normal. Its suppose to be there. Ive gone through 3 sgs2 and always set up a screen lock and have always noticed it on all 3 phones. Its not a hardware or software issue, its part of the design element for the lockscreen as I'mDan2 also mentioned.

Yes, it's definitely a graphic design element. Most telling is that the same line on my phone, running GingerSnap, is a reddish-orange color - in accordance with the rest of the reddish-orange theme for that ROM. Lol

[APP][MOD] Camera 5.1.620655 from 4.2.2 on 4.3 | Sense 5 [20130926-info]

Hi guys! I've been using @olvrick's camera from his thread [APP][SENSE][M7]Camera.apk from newest 2.25 base with GIF support and better quality, but it only works on Android 4.2.2, so I made a little repack for 4.3, nothing special.
[highlight]NOTE 1: Camera from FW 3.18 is the same version like the one from FW 3.17.
NOTE 2: There is no camera in FW 3.22 OTA update.[/highlight]
Download links:
Camera_422_on_43_v2-lite.zip
BUG:
When you click on the thumbnail to review the photo, it shows you last taken one and only details are available.
But when you click back once (just once), you are still in gallery, but this time it has options and you can scroll through photos.
Click back once more and you are back to camera.
Camera_422_on_43_v1-lite.zip
If you messed with camera before this mod/apk:
Camera_422_on_43_v2-full.zip
NOTE: Nothing special about this one, no extra features, just extra files to replace messed up ones.
Camera_422_on_43_v1-full.zip
And if you wanna restore original from 4.3:
Camera_restore_on_43_v2-full.zip
Camera_restore_on_43_v1-full.zip
Changelog:
Code:
[b]
v2
fixed bug-1, made bug-2 :p
media-profiles tweaks
[I]bug-2: clicking on thumbnail takes you to last picture, clicking back takes you to gallery, back again to camera.[/I]
v1

[I]bug-1: by clicking on thumbnail in cam you can only see last photo[/I]

Just got back from racing track. Downloading ROM, but I need sleep (cause my vacation is over), so expect my reply tomorrow.
EDIT: ROM already DL'ed, so I had to check it out... Flash Camera_422_on_43_v1-lite.zip and you should get another camera. Don't use full version. With lite none of the original files will be removed, so it would be easy to remove this one if it's not working.

confirmed working on AHRD 21 no issues. flashed lite tried and it all worked great. flashed full but didnt see any difference
is the full version supposed to have the ISO icon on the main screen and the ability to make the capture button background transparent?

Thank you very much donmarkoni.
When I flash this camera, whenever I click on the previous taken picture it links me to opening the picture itself and only has "details" as the options unlike before where you could edit/delete/etc. Any idea how to get it to what it was like before?

Thanks for confirmation! Full doesn't make any difference for you cause you are on close-to-stock (look-like-stock) ROM.
As for the question, answer is no, no extra on-screen options, those would be Viper Cam options you are talking about.

Yes, I just noticed it myself. Didn't notice it before, as I don't use it, just take the shots, then later check them through Gallery. Probably broken links between Camera and Gallery, cause of different Android versions.
Solution is to live with it, or flash restore zip from 1st post, until I try to fix it, but I can't promise a fix cause I'm not that skilled (yet)
BTW, what ROM are you using?

Thank you for the quick reply!
Before this mod was created I tried flashing the original camera file for 4.2.2 that this mod is based on...camera itself worked with some minor issues, however I did get a force close whenever I tried to view the pictures I had just taken in gallery.
One thing I noticed was it had more on screen options like ISO etc, it also had the ability to make the capture bottons transparent.
Was that original file Viper Cam? If not I'm just curious if maybe those options broke when the mod was created.
Regardless, I love this mod. Thank you very much!!!!

Glad you like it.
Those options you mention are from Viper Camera. I could ask @Turge, @j to the 4n and @hansbert about using their Cam, if there is interest. Well, I just kinda asked them, mentioning their names here.

I'll try, but I can't promise anything, as I don't use GE ROMs and I'm not a developer, just sharing something that worked for me.
If they would allow the use of it that would be amazing! As long as it is based on the new-er build like this one.
I haven't ever used viper Rom nor have I used the cam from it.. so I'm still confused as to how I was able to have the extra settings.... :-\

D85110m Unofficial Changelog

*Update: I had my first freeze with ART on second day of update and I had to battery pull to get it restarted. Switched back to dalvik
Since LG/T-Mobile has been lacking information on their mysterious update,
so far I've noticed these changes with the new update:
Camera slide with knock on security
Snappier phone interface
Increased touch responsiveness (I use a 0.3mm tempered glass screen)
Increased IR blaster strength (It used to be terrible)
Bootloader still unlocked
Camera zoom recording fixed
Purpledrake root method works
Stock camera app now has a remote shutter for Android Wear devices
Option to disable the Bluetooth "battery level" notification when Bluetooth is connected
Untested by me:
Tweaked auto-brightness?
Decreased over-sharpening?
Better signal?
Wifi calling update?
Stump root works.
Google Wallet can use NFC.
I couldn't get stump root to work but purple drake did

I think that only happens if you where already rooted and accepted the update. If you never rooted with stump, or KDZ'ed back to stock then it works fine on the update.
No change in signal for me. Still at -105dBm at home, and around -110dBm at work. Im gonna sneak out to the floor at CTIA and see what i can get, i know verizon is around -84dBm. And their AWS band is running full speed, i installed it Friday...

Overall a pretty significant update. When I switched over to the new update on dalvik, I noticed that the battery was draining faster than usual, and the phone produced a lot more heat. Now that I've switched to ART my battery life is better and the heat has died down significantly.
Before the update I couldn't run ART because it would freeze occasionally and I would have to battery pull, but now it works fine

I rooted with purple drake and have twrp with a backup and I'm still on the stock rom… I want to take the update, is this a bad idea? By that I mean, am I probably gonna get stuck in that nutty bootloop? I don't care about losing root and having to root again. I just don't know if I should try reverting back to untouched stock first or something before taking the update.
One thing changed is you now have an option to disable the Bluetooth "battery level" notification for when Bluetooth is connected.
As some other users said, touchscreen is more responsive with glass plate installed. I had hard time playing Angry Birds Epic due to hit or miss touchscreen, but this time it's totally mistake-free.
Also I can hook up to my car radio aux problem was fixed for me at least
I'm rooted on zone ROM and I want to update and keep or retain root. How should I go about that?

Those who got stock in bootloop did not go back to complete stock. Complete stock means no xpose framework installed, nothing going on with your system, and IMPORTANTLY you are on STOCK recovery. So if you can find away to do all of that, you should be fine. I perosnally just used flashtool to go back to stock...took all but 2.35 minute. Once i booted, i did factory reset, took the update, did another factory reset rooted restore my apps and here i am
Can someone with the update confirm whether or not you can still use the brightness slider while auto brightness is on?
This is how it works on my girlfriend's AT&T variant (which I think is on build D) so her phone is always brighter than mine when side to side and on auto brightness.

Lol, not to be an ass but I cannot do that sir. I always say if you you root, you should be able to unroot by acquiring the knowledge to do so. If you cannot acquire such knowledge, you should not root until you know how to completely unroot for OTA. THere are many threads, including tmobile in plain site that tells you how to go back to stock Gluck searching!

Sadly we do not have such functionality with the latest update. What I will suggest is installing Lux dash...been using that since day one of owning my G3. It has the option to increase brightness in autobrightness.

I've been using Lux for awhile, but have been having problems ever since I updated to the pro version. It's really slow to turning the brightness up when first turning on the screen so it's dark for a few seconds.
Downloaded another auto brightness app called Vellis so I'm hoping that works better. Really, all I want to do is make the auto brightness go brighter.

My GT-I9195 has some weird screen issue... (overlays that never disappear?)

I have had my Samsung Galaxy S4 mini (GT-I9195) for like 2 years.
Like 2 days earlier i tried to root it and stuff! it worked!
Then tried a rom... and i got some weird icons in the bottom right corner, they would appear at certain things like when i look at my home screen they are there... But like when i scroll down the notification tab it does not show on there... WEIRDEST PART IS THAT when i take a screenshot the icons don't appear...
Ive tried everything getting a "STOCK ROM" for my device
Even rebooting does not help..
Can somebody help me get rid of those weird overlay icons?
Any hope fixing it?

strange, it looks a bit like your digitiser is bad but I have never seen one with patterns like that. It may just seem to disappear depending on the screen colors. It almost looks like ghosting or watermark (electronic) of a digital clock....
There's an app that can test for dead pixels that might help I think someone said on another thread.

nothing like "chat heads" ha! Ha!
strange, it looks a bit like your digitiser is bad but I have never seen one with patterns like that. It may just seem to disappear depending on the screen colors. It almost looks like ghosting or watermark (electronic) of a digital clock....
There's an app that can test for dead pixels that might help I think someone said on another thread.

Cause like it happend after i rooted and put custom rom/kernel on.. I at first tought it was somekind of app. that came with kernel (ik does not make any sense) ill try to do my best to fix it..

Yes strange that it happened after root etc, so you would assume it's related. Which root, rom, kernal?
The pixel app can't fix (probably) but might show you the problem or rule out the screen as the cause. I don't know which app is good, just search pay store with something like "screen tester"

Okay... I'am so confused when i tried one of the "Screen fix apps" some of them didnt even show the watermark down right corner... By the way it was the root that i used it was "S4 mini rootkit" or something like that.. Is that a screen problem or do i have to fix it physically like removeing the screen and then putting it back on (but it might be risky)..

now I'm confused! Ha! Ha! So some of the screen test apps show the screen is working fine will others don't?
Well at least if some app show all colours/tests screens with no "ghost" icon that means at least it's not a hardware issue stuck pixel etc. That might suggest it's an app causing it. (I am assuming you got your kernal and rom from a trustworthy source and not some random download site!) Boot into safe mode so 3rd party apps don't work, do you still see the strange icon like marks?

Well I'm at a loss. Nothing I can think of seems to match all the symptoms you say and the shapes. If it's not in the software then I would guess it's some damage to screen but you say it doesn't appear on old ROM. It's not 3rd party apps so must be the rom/kernal, but still seems strange. And those shapes make stuck pixels seem unlikely ......
If it was me I'd flash another ROM, if not fixed, flash another kernal, if still not fixed then flash the stock ROM to start with a clean phone and then flash another ROM.

Were you rooted before the update and if so did you keep it after the update?
Nope, i wasn't rooted
Got it via the updater app..
Green tint totally fixed
but image retention persist
Definitely not getting it in the US right now, either in system updates or the Oxygen updater
Doesnt mention display improvement
I noticed image retention a few days ago on the battery bar at the top. Ghosting can happen. I removed all icons from bar at the top but it took 24 hours for the battery ghosting to disappear. 24 hours.
Due to burn in risk I removed these icons for good.
With the new update put icons back and I can confirm the ghosting still remains. Don't want to test long term as I'm worried about burn In
got it through updater. green tint is massively improved. maybe even solved (cannot comment as I can't go into a fully dark room right now), but there is clearly some shade difference moving the brightness lower (likely when PWM changes its rate). I do notice a bit of a red effect around some elements but it is too early to tell if it is anything.
also DC Dimming black crush is improved massively, I am super happy about that

Nope file stays on your device
Nice to see Oneplus is busy to enable 5g for new providers on every OTA, it sucks they didn't activate VF NL (yet)
Maybe they're holding on the US to give us dual sim.... Or is this wishful thinking?
These version is EU only.
No update for Global for now...

Would guess wishful ....ha ha
Now will be checking every few hours for AA.
The Bluetooth connectivity is so messed up with this update that the phone is not usable with a Bluetooth headset (and its the only way how I take calls). I dont get this: I hoped that they improved the WiFi 5Ghz problem and video stutter issue ( I didnt checked the first one) with the update, but they messed up one of the essential functions of the phone. The problem is: the phone is 1000 Euro and after every update it has at least one MAJOR ISSUE. I couldnt use it normally for a single day for a 1000 Euro phone. And I wanted to give it a chance. This is getting rediculous.
I think they fixed the green tint with the red tint?. Anyway much better than before. I want to try for a day the input lag of the touchscreen and the tint if are gone
