Alright, either I missed something here or this is very weird indeed:

Today, when I tested the camera after having applied to recent update from today (1.35), I recognized that even while having it active, the preview and also unfortunately the resulting image occasionally change from the unprocessed noisy one to the awfully filtered one for no apparent reason. Best I was able to do in order to halfway reproduce it was to zoom in and out until I reached the point where it got noisy or the filtered again so I could quickly have the pictures taken to share it here:

Furthermore, in yet another attempt of restoring the older version of your app (1.24), when I chose "restore camera" in 1.37, after a reboot, the images (depending on the situation as mentioned above) I still have the grainy look like if the mod is still applied. Not that I wouldn't mind the result, but I would except the stock camera to show me the rather filtered stuff once restored.

Also, can you please check out why I can't downgrade your app and mod the camera using that one? Just for the sake of comparison.

I am not sure how your hint of using the value "10" for a test are going to help me - I tried it and it looks horrible.

Just to make my intention clear: what I would like to archive with your mod is to disable any noise filtering or sharpening (as in the first picture) - whether it be pictures taken or videos - being a purist, I'd like to have the footage as raw and rough looking as possible, I don't care about the additional portion of noise. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] little-endian:
the art of noise

Related to the part of my former post where the image remains "noisy" even after restoring the camera in the mod app, I went through this thread again as I vaguely remembered someone already have been reporting something like that.

So on page15 of this thread, someone posted a picture about his camera having 'become weird'. What I think the user misunderstood is that technically, there most probably is nothing wrong with it, it just didn't get the hell filtered out of it anymore for some reason (which is actually to be preferred).

But anyway, in reply to this posting, zeroprobe you wrote:

"The mod wouldn't cause that effect. What camera version were you on previously? and what is it modded too?"

Now this confuses me (again) - isn't at least part of the whole thing with your mod app to in fact get rid of the noise filtering? So don't most of the mod users here want to have it noisy?

In that conjunction I neither get your former statement recently about it being "unnaturally noisy".

While I'm at it, may I bring up these two points again and kindly ask whether there will be an update?

Thanks!

I am all with you - just as an off topic hint, some recent releases of catalog titles on UHD show how to beautifully preserve film grain in its glory: "Ghostbusters", "Spider-Man" (2002) or "Starship Troopers", to name a few. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dragsterman:
Is this means you won't add video denoise toggle? :(

[MENTION=2516635]zeroprobe[/MENTION]

Could you please answer me?

I would be interested to buy this app if it would support video denoise off.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] little-endian:
Well, in fact the app already seems to support the video de-noise to be off by default, as for instance when filming in UHD (3840x2160), it definitely used to be noisy enough for me in order to assume that there is no filtering going on. The 60fps modes however always have been "filtered to oblivion" despite the modding.

Zeroprobe should be a bit more elaborate on this issue and also in general what the app does exactly as it is very confusing. So far I've seen while playing with the app:

- unfiltered pictures with the 0/0 setting (sometimes, as I mentioned before)

- unfiltered videos (for the low frame rate modes)

- heavily filtered videos (for the high frame rate modes)

- broken camera restore as the pictures/videos remain unfiltered nonetheless which shouldn't be the default
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] zeroprobe:
Nothing is changed mod wise regarding noise for videos. Samsung must handle the higher framerate modes differently. Or the settings the way video is encoded. I have not changed anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] little-endian:
Many thanks for your reply, zeroprobe.

Could you please also reply on the two following points:

1. why can't I downgrade to the older version of your mod (well I can but then I cannot set or apply anything)?

2. why are there no changes to the camera after I restore it?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] zeroprobe:
You can't downgrade due to the way the licence works. Are you on the latest mod app version? Are you using magisk? What camera version do you have. Then also try replacing manually from /data/misc/SamsungCamera7.bak
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] little-endian:
Many thanks, zeroprobe.

I am using version 1.35 of your app as it's the only one which works for me. In terms of the camera, the one which was supplied in the ROM is 7.5.46. I'll try restoring it manually and report back shortly. Not that I want to revert anything but it's weird that the result is now the same with having your mod applied and after restoring it.

Maybe you're willing to hand out a test version without any license restrictions as I already bought it anyway and certainly won't distribute it to anyone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dragsterman:
Yes, there is still no changes regarding video denoise, because I also have a S8 and I have the app for that device which is the same regarding camera.

The UHD videos in low light (I mean semi low light like at night in a well-lit, but not studio lit room) look awfully blurry because of the active denoise.

Disable the denoise in Frozen Volcano app Cinema4K and compare the results it will be obvious.

I still can not understand why [MENTION=2516635]zeroprobe[/MENTION] ignoring us (who want to have an option in an expensive app) though he could easily add this feature to his app because he already figured out what should be modified to disable denoise in video mode.

Also it would be a toggle so the user could choose whether disable it or not.

Maybe he is know something about development but the way he is treating his customers is awful.

He tooks lot off the money from the buyers but for example in videos denoise he gives zero support.

I am new to android development and reverse engineering but I think I am near to also figure out how to disable denoise in videos, and make an app which will do for you who want zero denoise in videos. (if you are interested in such an app).

[MENTION=2516635]zeroprobe[/MENTION]:

Again, even when using the newest release (Camera Mod N8 1.39) and select "restore camera", there are no changes in the camera's behavior which includes the settings for the 10 and 8 seconds stutter time (for example I set it to 98 seconds and it remains at that value even after camera restore). Is that intended?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] zeroprobe:
No that shouldn't be right. I'll pm you.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] little-endian:
Well rest comforted that there is a lot more you gonna miss without root than this app: no proxyless ad blocking (like AdAway), no decent backups of apps and settings, no DHCPv6, no easy systemwide immersive mode (without the prone to burn in bar on top), no routing adjustments like tethering via a connected VPN, CSC settings, servers listening on ports below 1024, etc. ... Of course, everyone has to weigh things personally. ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] little-endian:
Today I recorded a longer video where the camera app notified me that it would be split the footage into 4GB chunks and continue recording. While having it in several files is already a slight inconvenience, I'd be willing to rejoin the parts afterwards if it's that.

However, there seem to be gaps between the files with audio and video frames entirely dropped during recording which renders the modded camera app actually useless for proper (lengthy) recording.

Furthermore I wonder why the video is devided into 4GB in the first place. Since we all hopefully got rid of FAT32 file systems long ago, this shouldn't be a factor anymore and neither can it be a technical limitation on the Note 8 as the app Cinema4K flawlessly records files > 4GB without interruption.

[MENTION=2516635]zeroprobe[/MENTION]: can you fix this issue and make the modded app record files > 4GB or at least parts without missing information in between?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] zeroprobe:
The app should remove the 4gb limit.

Are you using the zip or app to mod?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] little-endian:
Ah, then I remembered correctly as I thought with a former version of your mod I got bigger files than 4GB.

I am using the most recent mod app from the Play Store which is 1.48.

Since I went back to Nougat, I use Chainfire's Autoroot, hence no TWRP or flashable ZIP files.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ronpinoy253:
Great mod! However...Is there a way for the flashable zip to have a version that removes the smoothing and noise reduction performed by the Samsung camera? The modded Google camera ports seem to produce sharper images.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ffaaiissaall:
Same thoughts

Sharpness of all my past sammy phones is always better than any other phone availble in market.but in n8,sammy traditional sharpness is missing..although images taken by n8 cameras are very detailed but i m missing the sharpness of pic which i love the most..thats why i m using google camera port

Zero camera is awesome..i m also using instead of stock n8 camera..but if dev can do us a favour for a sharper image in next update of zero camera..we,ll b very thankful to him..by the way thanx alot fr ur hard work..appretiated alot..thunbs up for the dev

Long story short, I came from a OnePlus 3T amazing phone btw, I would still have it, if it didn't get caught in the crossfire of a kickboxing match and get snapped in half :D

Anyways..... Is there a way to mimic the sharpness of that phone?

Plus like a lot of what I've been hearing, my front camera makes me look like a potato :D anyway to disable this?

Also is there a better tracking option as when in Q60, it takes awfully long to autofocus

I purchased the app from play store...the mod zip will not flash thru latest twrp version but will flash ok thru magisk n8 oreo official
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] little-endian:
At least as long as you're referring to real sharpness (and not awful stuff like edge enhancement) your statement is a contradiction because "detail" and "sharpness" are actually the same thing. So if the pictures are very "detailed", what are they lacking then?

First it should be clarified what you mean by "sharper". There can be only one specific amount of detail having entered the camera optics and having reached the sensor when a picture has been taken, so if there are objective differences between camera applications, either they are artificially softening the image (low pass filtering) or artificially sharpening the image (contrast boost, edge enhancement) - neither I would want to have.

Hence it would rather be advisable to find out which one is telling the story clostest to the truth in order to prevent drawing wrong conclusions.

At least I wouldn't want zeroprobe's mod to (re)apply artificial sharpening.

Also, for such tests, one definitely has to use

resolution test charts to be able to judge what is real resolution and what is fake resolution caused by aliasing. Anything else is guessing around.

Thanx buddy.i think i v the right to ask the dev..its nt a stupid question at all
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] little-endian:
While it is totally legit for you to ask the developer, you could at least reply to the argument I have made which isn't exactly without technical basis either. I didn't have the impression that you understand what you're actually asking for so I wanted to make sure you do it for the right reason.

Furthermore your credibility would be already slightly higher if your writing style would be less awful - let's say proper punctuation and sentences for starters. Does it really take a non-native English speaker to tell you?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ffaaiissaall:
Leave it bro..this mod is awesome..no doubt about it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] little-endian:
On that we can certainly agree. Much better than the "filtered to oblivion" - look of the default camera.

Neither do I want to do you any wrong, if you have concerns about the sharpness, please elaborate on that and let's discuss it.

My opinion is that the software layer should neither reduce the sharpness by filtering nor add artificial "sharpness" (which isn't any real detail actually) but leave the image as unaltered as possible.

Furthermore I wonder why a higher "edge" setting in the mod app doesn't do what you want (edge enhancement). Isn't that what you're looking for?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] daivatam:
The play with edge and noise is very delicate...they should be kept in balance...if not they work one against other...and even in balance they absolutely will degrade the image in details but will smooth it from noise...it is a matter of preference...noise reduction need to be bigger than edge sharpening most times...because other way the image will look very bad with sharp artifacts remaining from edge...by now my solution is to keep only edge 1 and noise 0.
