camera s8 for s7 ? Will it be possible? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Hi friends, will it be possible to have s8 camera application in s7? Will it work just as well in our s7?

as far as i know those two has identical sensors, so porting it won't be a much trouble, i think

The part of the software image processing would be very interesting.

They're not identical, the s8 uses a imx333, the s7 uses an imx260.

camera upgrade possible?

This device being easy to get into:
http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung+Galaxy+Note+10.1+Teardown/10144/1
I wonder if anyone has thought of upgrading the camera to something like the Galaxy S3 8mp variety, may have a look into this unless anyone else has already?

Pimp my rom/your rom has a feature to change resolution to 8mp. I don't know if this works for 10.1 though and it doesn't add 1080p video recording.

Cheers, thanks for the info, although If the lens / sensor combination is inferior on the 10.1 note compared to the galaxy S3 then there wouldn't be any point upping the resolution, if anything it may make the image worse as it will just be upscaling.
I had a look round for a compatible alternative camera module but found nothing, I was hoping the one used was common to other devices but that isn't the case.
I wonder if its possible to add a 3G module with sim slot
Why didn't you just buy the 3g variant?

I don't really need it, however if the module is cheap and just clips into place like most other parts then why not?

Yu Yureka Phones, similar to Idol 3 5.5?

Hi all,
While looking for a rom to flash on my Idol, I found one guy comparing the Idol 3 5.5 to the Yu Yureka Plus phones.
Seems they are similar.

Maybe another device to follow-up and port from?

Dear lord,they are pretty much identical! O.O
I think that we won't need to do MUCH to port ROMs from the Yureka Plus.
Hopefully one of the two devs we have will try to mix something up. xD

They are totally different phones

I dont mean to be rude,but are you OK?
Exact same CPU,same clockspeed,same amount of RAM,same camera module.
The only possible difference(software-wise) can be the partition tables.

Chipsets are the same but both front and back cameras are different, no dual band wifi, no stereo speakers, no NFC, CDMA, different LTE bands. Its a copy, not a clone.

I over-exaggerated.
I never thought they were identical,but at least in the past,same CPU,camera and RAM were things needed in order to port a rom to another device,other things would be patched up.
I think it would be much easier to try porting a rom for that device and patch some things up than making a rom out of scratch with only 3 devs working for the Idol 3.

Yes, I see what you are saying. It would be a good starting point. I think only the lens configuration is different on the rear cam.

I didn't want to be rude at all, may be the message was misleading.
When I compare identical phone, I think in terms of whether the rom of one phone can be used, after some tweaks, in another phone that you are comparing.
Otherwise, many phones share some level commonless.
Eg. Umi Emax mini and idol 3 5.5 are quite similar except screen size. Look at their rom... they are nearly identical

I know. I was being dramatic.
But it is much easier to port a rom from a device with same CPU and other parts(plus patching some things up) than making a rom out of scratch.

Snapdragon s7 rom support

hi,
As far as I remember smartphones whom soc is made by qualcomm had the best custom rom support, but recently I saw multiple sources claiming the exynos versions of the S7 are better for custom roms,
can someone help me figure out how well each version is supported?
- thanks a lot!
With the S7, the Exynos is the better supported model
Just don't expect aosp roms on the exynos, only touchwiz.

Which camera module goes with which device?

There seems to be some contridictory information on the web about three camera modules for the s7. Has anyone got a definitive answer about which camera module is for which variant of the s7 and who makes them?
I think there is no straight answer like "this model uses this sensor"
Me and my wife both bought 930F Exynos assembled in Brazil, one in september other in december 2016. One has Sony sensors and the other Samsung.
By the way if I´m right the only app that can differentiate the sensor is Aida64.
Are there two Sony sensors? The v02 without the Sony name on it and the v03 with the Sony name? Also, one has a blue cable and the other green. And the third type, the completely round one, is that the Samsung isocell?
By the way, I have the Sony sensor, according to Aida64, but it appears there are two versions. I wo der if they are cross compatible because I want to replace mine.

Ok, I understand the difference between the isocell and the sony, but what about the module labelled hero 12m 2pd , ls1 v02. Who made that?

No one knows man. Buy it, replace it, check aida64 and tell us.
isocell is best...
But apparently if you replace a sony camera with a samsung it won't work. Which seems strange as they use the same roms.

I have the answer. The only camera that is Sony is the one that says Sony on it. The other two are both Samsung. I discovered this by installing them in my s7 and using the app Aida64 to check.

Question Possible similar device to Neo 3T (rmx3371) ?

Hi,
My colleague want to buy the neo 3T and interested to try installing custom rom. I don't see the Neo 3T section in XDA and I find Neo 2 and Neo 3T are shared similar specs with very minor differences in camera sensor and charging speed.
I'm wondering if all unlock process downright to custom kernel and roms are compatible to each other, does anyone can shed some lights?
i have same question
+1 attention
I have Neo 3T and looking for answer too ;-)
but you will never get an answer because there is no one here...
Some devs post their roms but never answer questions...
Although they are almost identical in terms of spec, the kernel/IO driver that runs from respective motherboard might be different. Let's say in terms of the battery charging control for both. The kernel will control this component and it is the way it differentiates both models. Even if you succeed on flashing the rom, some component on the software or hardware might crash and cannot work properly.

Thanks a lot for your message. Yes, that is absolutely clear. At the moment, I will be very happy just to have working TWRP ;-) Do you think that this could be done?

I don't like Neo 3T. You cant do 120 fps gaming on it, and multitasking is bad. I recommend Mi 11 lite 5G NE
