S4 or Note 3 camera on Note 2? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does a port of the S4/Note 3 camera exist?
The Note 2 camera is shocking and I would really like to use the S4 one.
I've tried Stock Android ROM and the camera on there leaves a lot to be desired too.
It's not the picture quality, but the UI that I take issue with.
Many thanks.

I have not yet seen in any forum successful porting of note 3 or s4 camera onto note2. Many folks are asking for the same hopefully Devs will do that as they have already ported many apps from note3/s4 to note 2 . If there is some hardware restriction then we wmay never have it.

Seems like camera stuff is somewhat hardware related and devs have no cimpletely addressing maps yet.
So, no s4 or note3 camera app on note2 i presume...

I do have a 4.4 kit kat camera ui. If it interests you, do pm me and I'll try to pull the apk from my phone. (This camera app came from Illusion ROM 2.6)

Adding on to what I said, the camera app is actually integrated into the gallery app and there is no way to pull only the camera app. The apk file name is Gallery2.apk
In the photo, the right side is a picture I took and on the left side, It's the camera.

AOSP vs TW camera

Been using TouchWiz since I got my phone (FreeGS3), now switched to LiquidSmooth (4.2.1), and it's awesome...
BUT, the photo quality on TW was MUCH better. So much that I think I'll switch back.
UNLESS anyone knows ... is there a camera app for AOSP that can match the quality of the TW camera?
Has anyone else noticed the inferior photos? Blurrier, less colorful, no HDR ...
And most idiotic of all, the whole "viewfinder" rotates from landscape to portrait ... which makes NO sense.
On a side note ... I wish someone would create a camera app like the HTC Evo 4G LTE where there are TWO buttons on the screen, one for photos, and one for video ... so that you don't have to switch apps!
Samsung's tw camera is the best...I have downloaded camera zoom fx and still the two camera is better by far...I wish there was an apk for the the tw camera on my aosp...all other cameras are slow

Porting the TW camera to AOSP is possible. The TW dependencies just have to be removed. I remember an old friend of mine posted a how to in the OG Epic forums... Might take a look and see if it's something I can poke into

That's what I thought as well.... However it doesn't appear that way.

This app is AOSP based and has two buttons for stills and video.

Didn't want to make another thread but... I am running Liquid Smooth (Stable) and I was wondering if there was a mod to get Photosphere?? I have tried many times and it never works lol... just wondering if there is a working Photosphere mod? Thanks!

I believe photosphere only works on 4.1.x AOSP based ROMs and not 4.2.x AOSP ROMs...

I have it working on my phone running LiquidSmooth. I have the zip that I used but cannot find the xda thread that I got it from. I'm a little hesitant on posting it, because it's not my work, but I also want to help.
Here is a link to the file: 4CamNex2.zip
This is the stock camera for the Nexus. All you have to do is flash it in your Recovery (I used TWRP). It has a working photosphere, but is very limited in the settings you can change. For instance, I cannot choose the storage location or HDR or any of the fancy stuff that comes with the LiquidSmooth Rom. You can see my screenshots I just took to see what it looks like.
What I have done to mitigate these limitations is that I kept the LiquidSmooth camera. When I want to use Photosphere (which isn't too often), I use the Nexus Camera, and all other pictures are taken with the Stock LiquidSmooth camera. When I do things like set wallpaper, I have to choose my gallery (two cameras = two galleries), but it's not too much of an issue for me.
Hope this helps, and if anyone can find the original thread with this camera, let me know and I'll link it (and remove my dropbox link). I want to give props to whoever created it.
So are the pics quality better with this camera mod compared to whats in liquid smooth ??

Working Photosphere APK for galaxy s3?

Is there a fully functional, non-freezing galaxy s3 photosphere camera and gallery zip available?
Also out of curiosity since july I
If you find one, please let me know. I always think I can do the touch to focus workaround, but then end up reflashing or rebooting when I need my camera most.

There is no photosphere camera that is 100% functional for our phones. The photosphere is for the Nexus devices. The only work around is to set the camera to action under scene and you wont need the touch to focus before taking a picture
Not perfect but it's a start...

Here is what I have used since Nov. or Dec. I haven't any FC's or issues. It does contain all 4.2 GAPPS and gives you the option to replace current camera and gallery or leave the current camera and gallery in place. However like mentioned above this camera also has issues focusing. So I would recommend leaving your stock camera in place. or atleast making a backup if you dont like it.

i am using AOKP's 4.1.2 ROM and have flashed the Nexus 4 camera. i too use the action setting and have no issues.
Nexus 4 camera: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1966426
I'm running a 4.2 camera with photosphere on my own custom TW ROM and I have zero issues with the camera. Don't even have to put it in action mode to take pictures..no freezing or FC'ing
Search for the APP its in themes and APP section and it's worked fine for me.

[REQ] Similar GS4 camera on Note 2?

I know that since the Galaxy S4 runs 4.2.2 and Note 2 runs 4.1.2 (for some reason -.-) that the actual apk is not going to work, but does anyone have a different camera app that can do the same features, in particular i like the sound and shot feature, but I am looking for an app that can do most if not all the same features the s4 can do. Any suggestions?
I'm using this and it works beautifully
Just put this in your browser...

I think he is talking about the TW camera from the GS4 not the AOSP one.

As far as I can tell, this does everything but the sound and shot, otherwise the same camera and it is an .apk so very easy to install even for a noob like me

The problem with the 4.3 camera is my note 2 stock camera can do everything it does. The gs4 camera does even more than my stock camera. That is what im looking for

Just curious but, what other features are you looking for? The only other things I see that are lacking are sound and shot, dual shot, and eraser shot, of which none interest me personally. Truthfully, the only extra I was looking for was the 360 shot. I do like the gallery better but it's missing a thing or two I like from the stock gallery

[Q] Which Rom has the Stock Camera?

Guys,
it has been a while since I last flashed my S4, I tried several Roms before settling into one (I believe I have dandroid) but now an issue has come up. I really miss the old regular stock camera apk, the one with the slow motion and panoramic features. I have been taking lots of pictures lately and the Google edition app just doesn't cut it for me, it has some lag to it, and I need some of the old features. I have also noticed that the battery has been dying extremely quickly.
is there a ROM out there that can offer me that camera apk and a better battery life? I checked out the development forum and there are so many options, it's hard to know which one would be the one for me (I also didn't see anything about the stock camera app, just google edition )
Thanks everyone in advance.
PS: no, I am not taking selfies haha
Bottom line, only TW ROM's will have stock camera. Google edition and AOSP ROM'S cannot run the stock camera.

[REQ] Archiport stock camera for AOSP 4.4.2

Is it possible for someone to get the stock Samsung camera from Archiport 4.4.2 onto AOSP roms such as CM11. The stock camera is the only one that seems to allow video recording on Snapchat or Vine & I'd like to have it in CM11:good:

Samsung have the blobs for the stock camera, aosp camera is a toy in comparison for this reason I will never return to aosp T_T. so if samsung don't give us his sources we never have the awesome view in aosp
PD:I love aosp but the camera...

Actually the camera on Slimkat works pretty fine. I agree that its not that good as samsung stock one, but not that bad at all. I've heard also that in new CM11 for our phone the camera works well too. But as it was said - I wouldnt believe that it will be as good as stock, because I don't think samsung will give us the drivers.
@edit
I also saw some fix mod for camera, which replaces stock camera in AOSP rom and works even better

To be honest All i want is a camera that works with both Snapchat and vine for video recording. snaps only record 3 seconds instead of 10 and vine just wont record at all :crying:
