not bashing. just pointing out that if all is right with the technique, the method, and whatever creativity is added by the user, the photos do come out wonderful. yes, comparable with the iphone 6 plus and the note 4. but the far majority do not do everything right. many still just point and shoot. problem with that is it doesnt really fully focus anywhere, but more or less just averages out the focus over the whole shot. which for some might look fine, but for me looks terrible. our plain old autofocus might, in reality, not be the best. but thats why i tell everyone that you have to touch to focus to get the great shots.
[Nexus 6  General] bozint:
You are quite right about the focusing, I also always first focus the subject before taking a snap which normally results in a better picture.

[MENTION=1811927]simms22[/MENTION] I know you use the AOSP camera but have you given the L-camera a try? This one here I mean https://github.com/PkmX/lcamera/releases Would love to see the difference with your constant pictures. I use both the Google camera and the L-camera but only when I want to use the RAW files.
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
yes, and have it installed. problem is my subject at the moment. its cold in nyc right now, and i do lots of nature. problem is, i only have the gulls around me at the moment. and to take their photos, i dont have the time to adjust the focus and exposure manually, or theyll fly away before i shoot :)

when i will have a chance for still photos, ill use it, and post them here.
[Nexus 6  General] xxaarraa:
It's hard to believe you can shoot such perfect compositions of fast moving objects (gulls chasing bread crumbs don't move slow enough to get the phone lined up, tap to focus, etc.) ? Is the AOSP camera really that much better than the stock google camera? Can you please post a link to the AOSP camera you are using? I assume I can load it using WugFresh's NRT?
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
you tap to focus, then can take several quick shots before its out of focus again(waiting makes it go out of focus). is the aosp cam better? not better, just a little quicker. i can take the same kind of shots with the google camera as well. and on the nexus 5 and 4. its not the camera, its me being the photographer, using my experiences. ive been taking photos for quite a long time. with manual cameras as well :)

So you must not be using HDR+ mode then? When I'm in HDR+ mode, it takes a few seconds for the phone to process the photo before you can shoot another. Are you just in regular mode when you are shooting these burst-type photos?

[Nexus 6  General] troyhough:
my son moves around quick and it's tough to get a high quality picture of him (in focus). what app is best at taking photos with motion like toddlers :))
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
any camera app, just make sure that you have proper lighting, or itll blur. i take many motion photos of differing animals, lighting is key when shooting mothin pictures, unless you want a motion blur.
[Nexus 6  General] troyhough:
here is an example

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6YYWOqyM1WfTGJELTMwNEdmTDQ/view?usp=sharing
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
yea, thats typical for indoor lighting. while, to your eyes it looks good enough for photos, in reality the lighting isnt good enough for motion photos. theres no app that can fix that, in that lighting, youll just have to remain still(or you can follow him with the cam and shoot, it will blur the background but keep him focused in.
[Nexus 6  General] troyhough:
to add to the fun, it takes about 4 seconds to snap after you press the button (google camera)

[Nexus 6  General] xxaarraa:
Simms your photos are gorgeous. Very well composed and shot. But you do realize that a phone camera needs to be versatile. Shooting great photos outdoors in perfect light but shooting mediocre photos everywhere else isn't a great phone camera. You judge a phone camera by its all round prowess in all conditions.

Jury is still out for me on the nexus 6 camera in that regard. I need to use it more to say if its an improvement over previous/other/alternatives.

if you look at most my recent photos, most are low light photos. the post i just posted with the bird going for the bread is a perfect light shot(but not easy since the bird was contantly moving). i say the camera is rather versatile, if you know how to use the camera in many differing light conditions.
[Nexus 6  General] r0cafella:
Simms, are your photos edited in any way?

They really are something particularly the one with the bread.

I'm an awful photographer so feel free to share any tips.
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
they are. they are all cropped in some way, and they are all "cleaned" a little bit(slightly edited, if you can see that they are edited, then i edited too much ;) ).

[Nexus 6  General] xxaarraa:
Do you mind sharing how they are 'cleaned' ? Using what app, edited for what? brightness/exposure/color saturation?
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
sure. i use the picsay pro app. i do crop nearly every picture, then i might add in an hdr effect, maybe adjust contrast, add in a liitke boost. and i mean a little bit, i use only small percentages. like up to 13% max on any edit that i do. any more, and it seriously starts looking edited :)

Anyone got this low-light issue? (No flash, i hate it)

This room is fully lit with moderately bright lights. Every other camera can see clearly in this lighting. What is with the nexus 6 exposure?

One is for comparison, the proper one, which was taken with the camera app. The other was snapchat. This will happen with any other camera app including the face unlock camera. The exposure/lighting is bad on both but just worse with any 3rd party camera access.

Hello everyone! So my idea is to take a normal asus tf300t transfering cable,connect it to this small 5v 12v step up adapter:

ebay: USB-DC-5V-TO-12V-Step-up-Module-for-GoIP-VOIP-Gateway-Solar-Battery-Mobile-Power

I want to use this adapter to charge my tf300t with my devices: 1) Allpowers 16W 5V 2usb port (one usb3) solar panel. 2) Anker Astro 15000mAH usb 1x1A output, usb 1x2A output

Will it work? is it safe or the inputs outputs won't work? I don't know much about it.

Also, I wanna cut the dc charging head (of a normal tf300t wall charger) and keep the asus pin charger to attach it to the wire on ebay picture (cuting the small round dv part). when reonnect together, willit be working as a normal "transfert cable" but only a usb2.

So there is two questions, thanks for any helping advises!

Hi,

I am not a programmer / developer but just wanted some expert opinion on how to root and what are the advantages. I have now ended my warranty so please can someone let me know:-

1. How to root safely without messing up KNOX

2. Can I bring the device to the same state if something goes wrong while rooting

3. Is there any substitute for firmware updates

Thanks,

Rooting trips knox. You can try Towelroot, probably won't work. Flashing recovery will allow you to flash superuser/obtain root, or just flash a new Rom that's pre rooted.

Any samsung device can be Odined back to stock if needed, just not knox.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Orion116:
What version of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1(2014) do you have? Towelroot won't work with the p600 or the p601. Also it is better to use Obin then a one click root. Read through this topic it explains the whole process.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2490805
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] shayind4:
Towel root works for P605 up to latest software update as in the link below. The trick is to downgrade the boot.img using odin to a lower firmware e.g. NF2, root with towel root and then upgrade boot.img back to current firmware version. It keeps Knox 0x0. Try and keep your Knox 0x0 status in case it becomes important to you. Flashing custom recovery and kernels will trip knox, and using other rooting methods is likely to trip it also.

Good luck.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] subram:
Thanks for all your responses.

I am looking at orion's website and clear how to root now. Please can someone clarify these for me :-

1. We can root the note but need to remove KNOX (after rooting) as it will not work properly for rooted devices?

2. Is it possible to get the note to the current state if something goes wrong during rooting. If yes, how can we do this?

3. Is it possible to install latest firmwares either from dev community or official Samsung? If it's from the DEV community, then wil it be a simple task of updating firmwares like how we do for official Samsung or do we have to start the process of rooting / stock recovery etc. again?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Orion116:
1. You are correct KNOX will not work and will give annoying and intrusive notification about your tablet being modified. But that is a small price to pay. Your warranty will be invalid after rooting, also a gift from KNOX, and it cannot be reset back to valid.

2. Yes, it is possible to reflash stock through Obin by downloading the firmware from Sammobile.com, not sure if I have the web address right, and flashing it like you do CF-Autoroot and twrp.

3. You cannot take ota updates because it will see the custom recovery and say your system has been modified. Again you can flash official updates from Samsung by using obin and Sammobile or for faster updates use a custom ROM which is actually probably better, but it depends on what you use your tablet for. If you want I can link you to some custom Roms that are stock based or CM based.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] subram:
Many thanks Orion. I have SM-P600. Basically, I want to root because I want to remove the official software and other bloatware.

1. Clear

2. By reflashing the stock, you mean setting the note 10.1 2014 to it's original state but through the 'odin-flash method'? So, if I do this, then will I be back to normal (including KNOX) and be able to download firmware updates? How do I do it through

3. What is the difference between sammobile formware and custom ROM?

Two more questions

1. Is it possible to download android 4.4.4 / Android L and install it in my device now than waiting for Samsung to officially release it?

2. Will it be possible to root, remove the unwanted software and then unroot to come back to normal again?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] blindmanpb:
Not quite. Reflashing the stock ROM via Odin will return your device's software configuration to the way it was out of the box. No custom recovery, no root, etc. However, nothing can reset the KNOX counter. Once tripped, it's tripped for good. Reflashing a stock ROM will not allow you to receive OTA updates, you will have to download updates (from SamMobile or another site) and flash via Odin, or use Kies to update. Updating the firmware on your device through either method will cause you to lose root and custom recovery, but you may be able to re-root and reflash custom recovery.

SamMobile only hosts Samsung official stock firmwares for devices.

And yes, you should be able to root, uninstall unwanted system apps, and then unroot. But again, you will be unable to accept OTA updates.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] subram:
Understood about the fact that if I root, then I should forget about KNOX once and for all.

- Ok, how do I unroot? Is that straightforward.

- If sammobile releases a firmware update for SM-P600 (let's say android 4.4.4 for US), can I install that via KIES (without root) though I am in the UK?

- If I root, I can then install android L as soon as it is available in the DEV community?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Orion116:
1. Yes I have never had to unroot any Samsung device but as far as I know it is just that simple.

2. As long as it is for the p600 then yes it is compatible you should be able to flash without root through Obin.

3. This is a developer to watch this is a CM based rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2938652.

This is a TouchWiz based ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2793898. They will be updated quicker then Samsung firmware. Here is a complete list of Roms available for our devices. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2723420

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] siralsmooth:
Download the stock firmware and flash via Odin with the tablet in download mode. Backup anything important first.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Orion116:
Chainfire includes an unroot in his SuperSU app, which means you can just root to remove stuff the use the unroot function and then you have stock. There also Roms available that are just debloated stock without root installed. You have to root first to install.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] subram:
So, if we root to remove stuff and unroot through SuperSU app, will KNOX mess up again? To be honest, this is all what I want to do.

Another question, if we root, how can we get android L - the same method as odin flash?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Orion116:
1. No knox won't come back if you use the unroot function it just removes root.

2. Yes, obin flash when Samsung release, or install a custom ROM which then you get Lollipop faster.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] subram:
I looked at the website for custom ROM. It says I need to have a 'custom recovery' installed and be rooted as well. What do you mean by custom recovery and what should I do to install it?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Orion116:
You need to first flash this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2490805 through Obin. Then make sure you have root. Then from the play store download flashify. Once you have flashify open it grant it root access and it should say something about a custom recover chose twrp. Flashify will take you to twrp download 2.6.3 not 2.8.1. Then enjoy your custom ROM.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] subram:
Thanks Orion. Clear on the process but what is custom ROM and why would I need it?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Orion116:
You don't necessarily need a custom rom(can be called custom OS to) but they are updated faster then stock TouchWiz and they run twice as fast because they are slimmed down. Plus you have control of everything. Some people just want want a more pure android experience but with more customization. TouchWiz is a custom ROM of android because it has features pure android doesn't have a.k.a. multi-window and quick settings with KitKat.

Like I said you don't need a custom ROM but it is a lot more fun to play then rooted TouchWiz. I am linking two custom Roms one is TouchWiz based so it has all of Samsung's features. The other is CM which doesn't have any of the cool features of Samsungs TouchWiz. TouchWiz

Thanks for answering my questions patiently Orion. Ok, so if I follow the steps mentioned in http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2793898, then

1. Will I have Samsung touchwiz ROM and also get all the features mentioned there including notePRO?

2. Will I have multi-window and s-pen features retained?

3. Is the above website free to download?

4. Is it possible to just get the notePRO features after rooting my SM-P600 instead of getting everything from the above website

5. It looks like there is a 1.7 GB file that I need to download in my local PC before I flash it with odin?

6. There is a mention in the above website that we need to be rooted and also have custom ROM installed so If I have to install hyperdrive as per the website, I need to have done both I guess or can I just root my note and directly flash the 1.7 GB with odin without having a custom recovery installed? Also, how is custom recovery different from root?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] personalweb:
Any news about the problem of counter and knox function?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Orion116:
I will answer the question six first.

6. You don't have to have a custom ROM installed first but you do need to be rooted and have a custom recovery installed. The differents between root and custom recovery is that with root you just have stock with root access which root gives you direct access to things you normally would have access to. Custom recovery is different because it is actually a place before your system boots up where you can install different rom zips, my whole system backups called nanodroids, and a whole bunch of other stuff. You should install a custom recovery because it makes life easier if you mess up something because you can flash back ups from your SD card. You also need a custom recovery to install that ROM.

1, 2, 3, and 4 yes to all four. That ROM uses a special installer that works with the custom recovery that allows you to choose what features get added. Yes it is possible to get the Note Pro features without this ROM but it maybe unstable.

5. You don't download to the computer download to your Note and flash using the custom recovery.

Hope this clears up everything. I don't mind helping people at all:) I actually enjoy helping people.

Thanks once again Orion. Just afraid of rooting as if something messes up, I am not sound enough like you to get it back. I am a techie on a different skill-set so this android thing is something new to me but I am very keen to learn.

Your answer to point 5 lost me somewhere. I thought it should be downloaded to PC so I can flash it to the note 10.1 2014 through Odin from the PC. Can this also be done via PC as I seem to be pretty comfortable with this or should I download it to the note and only flash it via custom recovery. If it's the second option, then how do I flash it though custom recovery from the note itself as I cannot find that website mentioning anything about this. Please guide me on this one.

Correct me if I am wrong here - The Chainfire CF root specifies only about stock recovery which is the second step to be done after rooting I guess. So, if I install this stock recovery after rooting, that means, I can bring my device up and running if something goes wrong with the system by choosing the option to factory reset? So, recovery will help recover our device if something goes wrong?
