Looks good, at the moment there are a few similar apps available, I have tried all of them, now the difference will be in the amount of features. I like that the refresh rate looks good (unlike some of the other apps available).
Last time I checked your app was not in Samsung Gear Apps store, but will give it a try once available. At the moment there are two apps that are my favorites, one that can record video and high resolution pictures, but the refresh is not that smooth, and the other is 'buttery smooth' but can only record pictures up to 1080p in resolution. Hopefully your app might become one of my favorites as well
Thank you for comment. My app takes pictures in highest resolution possible for chosen camera (rear or front). Video recordig feature will be added in next update, along with resolution choice feature. I will notify here, when app will pass certification and be available in Samsung Gear Apps store.

Hello,
Im planning to add more camera settings including image effects and stabilization in next updates.
Update
Phone Camera Remote app v1.2 update was released.
Changelog:
-customizable camera settings
-scene modes selection
-color effects selection
-gallery images group by date
Excellent app, but ...
.... the only thing that doesn't work for me is an actual view in zoom mode. The image on the gear 2 neo stays the same when camera zoomed in. The camera is zoomed and if I take a picture I get a zoomed image, but the display on the neo stays the same, making it impossible to set a frame for the picture when using zoom.
Otherwise, this is one very cool app.
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini running stock O2 android 4.2.2 (with gear support)
Watch: Gear 2 Neo
Ill try to fix zoom issue. Never saw it while testing on s4.

That would be fantastic. Having used the app in several situations lately, it is already in the top two best uses for the Gear 2 Nano, along with the Music Player++ app.
If you can fix the zoom preview issue, it will be hands down the best app I have on the watch.
Thanks for all the hard work!

May I have some questions. What is the videobit of 1080P? Can I increase it or your app just read out it from media_profiles.xml? How is the jpg compression rate on your app? Will you add support for 4K recording for note3/note4/S5/Alpha?
Sorry for too many questions but I'm thinking to get a Gear2 just for this app before I buy it I want to know all things first.

Hello,
app uses default videobit for all video resolutions. Jpg compression rate is 90. As for 4K, it will be available as experimental feature in next update (experimental, because 4K video is not fully supported by the standard Android API yet).

Thanks for fast reply, you are real quick. Because the default videobit is just around 20M on all Samsung phones and definitely not enough for 1080P. Can I increase it by modify the media_profiles.xml myself? or can you add support various bitrate selection for it?
Good news for 4K experimental feature, hope Android 5.0 will real support 4k.

If android takes default value from media_profiles.xml, then modifying media_profiles.xml might help. As for manual bitrate setting, I will try if it is effective to change bitrate manually.
Here are some working camera mods I've tried in Oppo F3 Plus 7.1 Nougat ROM
If you havent upgraded to Nougat yet then please head over here and upgrade the OS to Nougat for better compatibility of these Mods

https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/themes/mod-updated-6-11-17-google-camera-hdr-t3701190
List of working cameras:
1. Nokia 8(slow motion)
2. HTC
3. Meizu
4. OnePlus v2 (slow motion)
5. Google camera 3.2.045 (non modded) (lens blur)
none of the pixel 2 camera mods are working yet. need root with camera2api enabled!
6. Paranoid
7. Snapdragon Camera (slow motion)
8. Mi camera Universal port beta 0.03 (worked on first use but later on it showed camera not found error) new version is available but never worked
slow motion: works but very bad. only runs at 720p and screen turns into yellowish and pixelized quality. macro shots might be good
Lens Blur: Google camera is your only option with non root device for portrait pics and it works good but still cropping is not good at all
Note: Most of these cameras doesnt work flawless but too many Force closes. Try it and comment below for troubleshooting

Hi ,
This is a workaround , until Xiaomi release new MIUI 9.5 with sources and that too with fixed video focus.
Requirements:
*Redmi note 5 pro
*Root/Unroot
*Camera2Api/No Camera2API
Process:
*Download "Open Camera" from "Google play store".
*Tap on 3 vertical Dots.
*Set focus to infinity bt tapping "∞" icon.
*Record
What won't work:
Macro focus
Of course its not as good as stock MIUI 9.5.11 or MIUI 9.2.7 but overall the recording looks much better.
Thanks To:
Mark Harman for his amazing app.
Alright, this is simple gallery with good settings ( dynamic photo preview on background and camera button and gallery button ]
Pretty compact for Android 2.3 or upper,
Customizable and modded by me ( no Google ADS ] P.S This gallery can see deleted photos, they will display with transparent thumbnail
