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.
So, I just got an update for the Nokia Camera app through Google Play. It was a whooping 250MB!! So far I noticed it includes:
- All shooting modes (photo, pro photo, video, bokeh, slow and fast camera...) moved to a slide carousel in the bottom
- Front/back camera switch moved to bottom left (thank god!)
- Added a shortcut to google lens
- Option to take "movement" photos (like a short gif)
- Added a button with Snapchat-like masks
- Auto HDR is now inside the burger menu on the top left
So... I'm opening this thread so you can discuss!
Still don't get update. It is possible to backup camera app and post it here?
edit:
Ok, I found it. I must manualy search for Nokia Camera and then update app. Don't have it with others app that need update on my device.
Apparently the filters and masks sections updated itself over the internet and where I had just 3 masks, there's now also an animoji-like Chinese lion and several light sources filters
Cant find the app when I search in Playstore. Any links?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hmdglobal.camera2
I wonder how the image quality differs from the Google Pixel Camera port.
Probably a really dump question, but can't find the control for manual HDR anymore...

May I know if there is a way to manually set HDR permanently on?
After the update, the Google assistant commands work. Saying "take a selfie" the camera opens automatically with a 3-second countdown
Still forces EIS on 1080p (and lower) recording...
I wish they put an option to disable it.
They should also add 60fps recording for video in 1080 as the processor supports it
I kinda like the new options.
Is ridiculus to not have manual controls on the hdr, is like absurd, like a bad joke....
Front cam at low light is so washed out. It's like saturation set to -100. Wow, just wow.

My stock camera app is different than Nokia Camera app. And for the Nokia Camera app Google Play says "This app is incompatible with your device"
Same here TA-1055 in UK. I have to admit that my Oreo is a restore from Pie Beta.
Well, just got a notification - update for stock camera app (Nokia Camera) and it is whole 247 MB Probably HMD had messed up with this app few weeks ago, then pulled it out of the store and now put it on hopefully a corrected version?
Every time I click a picture it gets in to a never ending processing photos loop and never saves the pictures properly. Even after rebooting the phone it gets back to the same loop.
Increased Bitrates (20% over stock) - 4K60, 4K, QHD, 1080p60, Slow Motion
Increased JPG quality for single and burst shots - Default was 92, now 100
Pro Video Mode
No Recording Time Limits
Record 4K60 to external SDcard
Installs latest Samsung Camera revision
Remove 4GB video file size limit - App only
Adjust Photo/Video Edge Sharpness & DeNoise settings - App only (Exynos only currently)
Custom bitrates - App only
1080p, 18:5:9, 720p bitrate adjustment - App only
Custom Shutter Speed > 10 seconds - App only
Choose your own custom Gallery - App only
23 Feb - v2
Camera update v10.0.00.72
App Only options are mostly due to library, xml file changes which have to be patched specifically to your model and something I don't have the time to maintain for different models.
JPG quality on S10 / N10 default is awful at 92 compression.

If possible at all, would be with virtual xposed.
Used the mod with my rooted s8+, even bought the app. Would love to use it on my s10+too, but too lazy to bother with rooting. Hope there is a way to make it work on unrooted s10+.
Can anyone confirm if the Photo Edge Sharpening adjustment is actually working? I've always kinda liked the S10+ cameras but not so much the standard processing due to over sharpening. If this setting adjustment works and makes a big difference (would love to see some comparisons if anyone knows where to find them), I might actually root the S10+ I have just for that.
Why can't Samsung not just update there own camera to be like this then?

Is there anyway I can make it 100% without root? Or another camera app with the mods that I can just simply download and install? I really don't wanna unlock and flash magisk on this phone.
not work camera update camera stopped please update fix
It is possible to change only the JPG quality from 92 to 100 without root?
thx brooo
wonder if this would work with a s10
Would be very cool. But I don't have root nor do I plan too. Would be cool if this didn't need root.
Oh well dng raw to the rescue.
used the paid app om my s7 edge , now trying on the s10+ . Thanks for modding
Hello all, I have been trying multiple different avenues to achieve the best quality video or raw video streams and would like to share what I have found and open up a discussion for anything that could lead to kernel/magisk/isp pipeline mods that could benefit us all. Here are some apps and resources that I have found to be the best. The max encoding bitrate that I can achieve with avc/hevc is around 160mbps regardless.
Ultracorder
Very good video app, can change api in app settings, paid app, but you can find mod version easily.
FreedCam

Some questions I have are that would increasing frame buffer allow for higher video Bitstream bandwidth?
Also why or how is Qualcomm Spectra 380 shutter lag limited to 30hz and could this possibly be modified?
Could the Video Front End pixel clock or other settings be modified to achieve better quality?
Would gstreamer be good for something like this? Hence these links..

Anyone know if raw dng photo capture is capable on this phone? And anyone know what sensor is used? The stock app does not seem to offer raw. It would be unfortunate if raw is not supported. Presumably the sensor is decent but Samsung stock software is usual not very good. 3rd party camera software rules, if raw is capable.
I tried using the pro shot app in the play store. No luck. There is a Samsung system app that crashes when trying to take a raw picture. Kind of annoying, I really would like to be able to take raw pictures because I use Lightroom to clean things up. Cleaning up a jpeg in the edit app on the camera/gallery pretty much destroys the quality by double compressing.
This is really frustrating because I'm sure the camera sensor is capable of taking raw images it's almost like Samsung is trying to prevent it at the OS level just to prevent people from having a good camera feature in a mid-range phone.
No RAW. You can download the Camera 2 API Prober to see all the feature it supports. It supports Camera 2 Limited (Full or Level 3 are better).
Yes, Samsung limited it at the system level, the processing is done by the kernel and the software only receives the result in JPG or HEIF. That's why you can't really use other camera apps to improve the results either.

The main camera (f/1.8, 0.8µm and around 1/1.7X" sensor size with PDAF and OIS) can either use a Samsung s5kgw1p sensor, commonly known as the GW1 or a Sony IMX682.
No camera2api LVL3/FULL support. Disappointing. Is there any way to port it?
