In my testing I did not find any differences. Though I recall someone did modify the camera app a while back for less compression a while back.

I reckon the "smart stabilisation" mode tends to over-smooth the photo too much but it does quite well in preventing motion blurriness.

Just for curiosity, I checked my N9005 camera firmware and it starts D13 rather than C13 but the middle bit is SGF (Rather than SGH or SGJ mentioned above for the C13 variant)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] arcanexvi:
Here's what mine looks like.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] vbiv:
Hi,

could you please explain "with correct permissions" to me.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] exhardy:
I've found that the difference between the camera is related to the Exynos or Snapdragon model,

on Exynos the camera seems to have more red tone [especially the front camera, which everyone could see the difference because of the skin tone] than Snapdragon in most situation.

I think that is the image processor making the difference, which exynos seems to be better always.

The difference already there when S4 introduced 3G and 4G variants.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] denski101:
From the photos, It looks like both phones were using different metering modes. When you get the chance to compare them again, make sure both are set the same.

Here's my camera FW, if it matters:

Kitkat NA6 XEO
[Galaxy Note 3 General] JazonX:
Hi Guys, Thanks for the feedbacks. Apparently both phones at the time of testing was Directly out of a Factory Reset on the Same Firmware. Both were Snapdragon variants. I ruled out those because My phone was the one that had the issue and therefore I wanted to resolve my problem.

However I reached a dead End, Gave up this. Bought a Galaxy Gear and made myself busy with it. Still My camera produces s****y images and I just learned to ignore it as there is no point worrying over it.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jonstatt:
Very strange. What is also interesting is the cameras with a D13 vs C13 variant. I had thought maybe one was Exynos , but you just said you were using Snapdragons......very odd
[Galaxy Note 3 General] vbiv:
Hi,

Did somebody try this : "Extract the Attached zip file and paste the 3 files to System/apps/ with correct permissions. You will get the option to make changes to Camera firmware."

It doesn't let me copy the files to System/apps.

Any help please.

Thank you.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] JazonX:
Yeap, Both were Snapdragon. But not the same Model. One is N9005 and the Other was N900X (Retail Live Demo Unit). N900X is a Snapdragon variant, and that was the phone which had the Camera Firmware unlocked option. The System Files which I pasted are from that Firmware.

You Need Root Access + Root Explorer. Ordinary File Managers wont let you do this.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] vbiv:
Thanks, man.

And I thought this time I would try use it without root...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ooop:
thx guys :good:

stock app fw

app by JazonX

back to stock after up fw

:good:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] JazonX:
Nice Work, By any Chance did you locate where the Camera FW file was stored inside the Phone?

Going through your screenshots, It seems as if you have downgraded your firmware from Version "I" to Version "F", assuming by the firmware names. However, Downgrade might cause your camera to improve as well, So let me know how it is now.

In case if you can find the Camera Firmware file (.BIN) location, we might be able to exchange firmware files, and flash them in order to find the best from each firmware version and region. Maybe It might open doors for camera firmware editing as well, which might open options to improve camera performance, as BIN files are easily editable.

If you select CAM to FW DUMP, It will backup your current Firmware as a BIN file to the root of the SD card. Then you can flash the same file again back to the camera as well. Such a backup I made from the Phone with the "Better Camera" is zipped and attached here. I extracted this file to my Phone, and placed it on the root of the SD card, But I never got the "Phone to CAM Firmware Write" option enabled. However If placed on the same Phone I extracted this file from, The option gets immediately enabled, and you flash the dumped firmware back to the phone itself. Of course it doesn't make a difference as I had only this FW file to play with.I never managed to get a DUMP from my own phone which had the "Bad Camera".

Hope all these makes sense.Do not hold me responsible if you screw up something on your beloved Note 3 by using any of my files published here, and also keep in mind that if someone opens the door for modding, we might actually get the camera to improve - which is the only thing I dislike about the Note 3, and the only thing I miss from my Old Note 2..
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ooop:
why downgrade? i have "F" version fw before upgrade, after upgrade i have "I", firmware "I" is newer

according galaxy s2, s3, s4 the higher the letter of the alphabet that is newer fw

i look for fw file, if I can find something that will let you know

[Galaxy Note 3 General] JazonX:
Ok, Then I read the Screenshots wrong. My Bad! :)

How's the Update? Noticeable difference ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ooop:

Hi,

I've rooted my device,but still can't copy those files.

Sorry for bothering ,but can anybody explain what to do.

I've tried es explorer and root explorer.

Thank you.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] kraken77:
Did you use FileManager? Use EsFileManager and enable root and mount system to rw
[Galaxy Note 3 General] vbiv:
Thanks.

I did enable root in es and mount system rw in app called "mount system rw".

Still permission denied.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] kraken77:
Are you sure you set the system to rw? Check the picture i attached. It should be like that. Do you root your phone properly?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] vbiv:
Thank you very much,man!

I copied the files.

But now I dial *#34971539# and nothing happen.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] JazonX:
Post a screenshot of the 3 files which you copied to system - Inside System/Apps Folder

(I'm assuming that you have not set the correct permissions)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] kraken77:
Don't forget to change the file permission. I think you missed it.

Is it possible to flash sony camera firmware to this note camera firmware? Since the camera is same.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Aimara:
any update which is a good cam firmware ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dakunclear:
I understand that but since all the note 3's out there use the same camera couldn't we just flash a new camera firmware via Odin or is that simply not a viable option?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BodenM:
Well we don't really know if the camera firmwares are the same between the Exynos and Snapdragon versions of the phone, so the only way to find out would be to push a firmware to the device and flash it and see if the camera still works. Even then, we may not be able to push a firmware to the correct directory. Also as far as I know these camera firmware updates can only be done on the phone, you can't flash them via Odin.

Has anyone tried to port the Xperia Z2 Camera app so it can be used on Note 3 ?

The Xperia Z2 Timeshift effect is beyond amazing and it would be great if we can use it on Note 3 as long they both have same Camera specs..

I have tried to look into similar apps that would make the same effect but found none.

But even when adding a new contact I can't see an option to put it to the sim card, rather than on the account.

Can anyone point me into the right direction?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Sim contacts are rubbish and can only store very basic information. Perhaps you mean "phone contacts"?

Anyway doesn't look like you can. Not sure why you don't want contacts in google but you could simply turn sync off then delete the contacts via gmail.

Be sure to keep backups though

go to Contacts->Settings->Contact Storage->(it will show google account).gmail.com->(click on that)->Select SIM Card (also check Remember This Choice if you want all newly created to save into SIM or leave it unchecked so that it will prompt everytime)

SIM storage is limited. just 250 for me in India (I believe it should be the same everywhere)

Also in Contacts->Settings->Import/Export, you will have an option to export to SIM.

But sadly, SIM will store only phone numbers and mail IDs may be!

not address and anniversary details!

2. ive deleted everything on my sdcard so its empty the bot img is gone( i thought if i format the sdcard it would work)

so how will i transfer a file?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Mount the sdcard via the recovery and copy the rom. Boot img needs to be flashed via fastboot and not via recovery !

thank you for ur replies

but im in recovery and i connect the usband i see the disc on the computer but when i click then it says i "mount a disc"

i get that error

What recovery ?
[HTC One X] onex007:
i go in to fast bot then pressing recovery and then i come to a menu (cwm)

or what do u mean?
[HTC One X] Morrdigian:
Turn off your device.

1. Hold down volume button with power button for few seconds till it will open bootloader

2. Then choose "fastboot" and not recovery!! But fastboot :D

3. Make sure so you have connected your htc one x with the USB cable to PC

4. Than go to your fastboot folder on PC (make sure if you have all needed HTC drivers) and extract from rom file "boot.img" and copy it here!

5. When you are in this folder hold shift and right click in folder and choose "Open Command Promt in this folder" or something like this

6. Then just type to command prompt this:

fastboot erase cache

then wait when it says okay.

then:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

wait till it says okay.

Power off device again and again hold down volume button with power button then choose RECOVERY

When you get into your recovery wipe data/cache/dalvik cache and flash rom

Here you go :D

That is way how I am flashing. :D
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
I mean what recovery are you using ! Type and version number and please be specific !
