Question about camera of the s3 and note. - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
How are you?
I as wondering about the S3 camera vs the galaxy note.
I know the S3 camera has more features, mainly because of touchwiz 5.
What I would like to know is if the hardware of the S3 camera is better than the one of the note. Mainly the sensor and lens.
If both the S3 and note run a ROM like CM9, would the S3 camera deliver better image quality?
Thank you.
Best wishes

yes its better... luckily for you i personally tested it today, bright colors + decent pictures in dark than note
btw.. you have to ask the questions in q & a section.

Thank you for the reply.
Did you test both on the same ROM?
Cheers

You will probably get more response if you post this in the Nexus section.
Some Mod can close this plz.?

I have a SGSII. I can test the Nexus and personally I won't change for it. Ok, the update can be faster, but if you can put CM10 if you want the last version (yes, with some bugs, but they make a excellent job).
Only my opinion...
Nexus' biggest disadvantage: no microSD slot!!

in galaxy nexus 5mp camera. in sgs2 8mp camera
there is no sdcard slot in galaxy nexus.
I choose sgs2 and I don't want change it for galaxy nexus
Have a look at them both here

Personally would not have a Nexus over SGS2 regardless of updates

Yeah but the s2 is a better device, and it's already on jb. So idk what you mean by fast updates?

Reconsider...
may sound like a good "upgrade" but really I promise it isn't... Galaxy Nexus is same guts with a lesser camera... a more clunky feel in your pocket and lacks gorilla glass.... the development that is going on in the xda community here is far superior to anything you will find stock from the nexus... before you jump ship... give the team's work a try.

updates from google, we have cyanogen with fantastic roms but lacks close sources like video calls and nice camera app like on stock samsung roms
i think the updates to use all the features from the phone are better in nexus devices

u are right, the camera on S2 is amazing, but i have to ask u this, do u have an GNEX? and why the question? im aiming google experience and not the score on quadrant, i know the cpu is the same speed, i know tha S2 as a better gpu but i dont play games
i just dont want to regret after i make the trade
As the other people said, galaxy s2 is better, if you want a fast phone then flash resurrection remix rom

Thx alot
caution that is for the INTERNATIONAL S3 NOT the US S3 ie those downloads may not work at all.
also I want independant camera's like the 4.2 camera. IE the ONLY thing I want from the Note II camera is the slow motion capability. samsung destroyed the burst most function that is so wonderful in the S3 when they upgraded the UI in the Note II

S Pen and custom ROM

Sorry for the lame post, ie can you guys answer my personal question, but i am seriously considering getting the Note 2 when it comes out here in Canada. Thought i would ask you original Note users about custom ROM usability as it is a concern to me.
I am a galaxy nexus user and was hoping to get the next nexus, but since it is being made by LG i have my reservations. I also find myself considering a tablet, but then have to ask myself what i would do on a tablet that i don't already do on my phone, except of course on a larger scale. Which brings me into Phablet territory.
Coming from the nexus, and being the type of Android user who likes the vanilla OS, my concerns revolve around customization. Given that the S Pen functionality is so deeply implemented into the OS does this result in a lesser experience if a custom ROM is flashed? Say you choose to flash one of the new CM10 nightlies. Is it CM10 just like it is on all other phones/tablets, or does it retain the "stuff" that makes the Note what it is....unique?
Any feedback is appreciated, flaming not so much

I just got my note 2 weeks ago. I came from the incredible 2. I had cm 7, 9, and 10 on it. One of the first roms i flashed on my gnote was cm. To me i didn't notice alot of difference. I didn't keep it on long because i wanted the use of the pen. I did find a nice Rom with good features in a stock Rom (black star). Samsung is supposed to release jb for the gnote.so once that happens there will be more options. After that gnote 3 will be out and key lime pie

I was really wondering the same thing, I'm considering the note 2 but will hold off if the s pen functions can't be applied to custom roms. From reading around the forums it looks like the functions probably won't be able to be transferred to aosp roms. I think they're making progress on the note 1, but not all aosp roms have functionality and they still don't have full functionality. It looks like touchwiz roms are fine though, but then again I'm not a note user.
I suppose it would be a lot of extra work for the developer(s) who work on the ROM to integrate such functionality into a ROM for just one device. I'll have to wait and see it when it comes out. Since the Note 2 well be running JB out of the box, a simple root and removal of bloatwear might be all that is needed. I've def become a fan of Samsungs products since the nexus s though. I also have to admit that the look and overall specs of the LG Nexus 4 are pretty underwhelming. I might have to do something crazy, like wait for something else to come along :-S HTCs new 5" phone with 1080p screen might be the sweet spot for me as long as it has good development support. Can't beat HTCs build quality. My hopes for the Note 2 remain high though as i haven't read a negative review yet.

Yeah same here, for me its between the note 2 and the htc 1080p phone. There are some aosp roms with s pen support on the note 1 and it looks like the note 2 will become very popular so there's a good chance cm10 and other roms may have s pen support. The only thing that's keeping me from the note 2 is that samsung isn't releasing as much driver and chip info so developers may not want to or be able to do as much. In the video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTRKL5E9Iak and in a few other threads, its said that cyanogenmod won't officially support the note 2 because of that.
I think the problem is that Samsung has not released the source to the pen but i am not 100% sure.

Makes me sad. Although, what really makes me sad is that i have to carefully weigh the decision of which phone to purchase based on how well it will be supported by private developer community. Weird isn't it? I buy a phone, and change it as soon as i take it out of the box. LG Nexus is sounding better now.

looks like if Samsung Note owners want to retain the full functionality of their S Pens, they must stick to stock roms

Hi, I just flash with Omega V9.1 custom rom + RedHill V1.0 kernel + Philz CWM 3.81 recovery on my Note 2 N7100.
Run smoothly with S Pen (auto pop up), multi-windows, swap ext2SD function.. SUPER SMOOTH...:good:
I'm using my spen without any problems on CM10. Gnote and memo beta work better than the Samsung spen app. The only thing missing are the spen genstures and shortcut for screen capture which I never used and there are dozens of screenshot apps.
Why do people act like the spen does not work outside stock?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
The SPen works fine on custom roms, it's the button features that are missing from (moat) 207 custom roms. Personally I prefer the original functionality that the SPen exhibits in touch wiz, so I'm running a stock(ish) rom.
So to answer your question, wait what was your question again?

Ok now that I've re-read your op my advice would be to get the note 2 over the lg nexus. Just look at the hardware specs, and you'll really enjoy the extra square footage once you get to know it.

Doubt it. That's the galaxy camera's biggest selling point. The camera. There's no way they'd bring it to the Note 2.
The new galaxy s4 has it so hopefully someone can port it over when that gets released

no, the Galaxy S4 doesnt bring it. so still need to be ported from the galaxy camera. i have acces to one. if some one tells me what to exactly extract besides the .apk i'll do it.
or i dont know if there is a ROM on the web
The Galaxy S4 camera is similar, BUT nit the same.
It brings a lot of new features though, and according to Samsung, they will include "most of the S4 non-hardware related features" to the upcoming 4.2.2 update.
This might bring the updated camera interface, just as seen on the S4 promo videos.
Hopefully this update is released soon.
If we get it before the next Google I/O, it will be a miracle

You're kind, but I dont think anyone would actually step up to do it.
There are loads of Galaxy camera roms available and the APK files can be extracted, but they will not work.
The Galaxy camera has completely different sensor/camera hardware.
To make the APK's work on S3/ Note2, camera drivers should be switched and that means hell of a lot coding/testing...
I dont think any dev would be up for this at the moment....

Different Camera App?

I have recently installed the newest version of Paranoid Android to my Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300 and it is awesome!!
The only pain in the ass thing about it is the camera app it comes with. I think it's one taken from HTC which apparently people love but I think it's useless! I like to take panorama shots and the app is pretty awful for it.
Anyway, what I would like to know is, is there any possibility of getting the stock S3 camera apk? I have installed a version of it from 4.3 which has the ability make a 360 shot but even that camera isn't too good. I think the one I had was from a stock 4.2 Samsung Galaxy S3 rom.
Thanks in advance!

your posting in the wrong location, this is S1 forum, you need to post in S3 forum for corrcet details, will ask MOD to move to S3 forum, so look there for response.
Check this out! You , YES! you are an " Android ". Not your phone but U.​
Oh my bad. That was stupid of me. Thanks for the help mate.
