Stock apk compress the Jpeg images to 96% for Superfime and 92% for Burst mode.
As a result there will be a slight decrease in image quality.
I have changed the compression value to 100%, so we can get full quality image.
You can test this scenario. Just take picture with stock Camera apk and then take the picture in same condition and position with Modded Camera apk.
You'll see the size of the image is high.
Regarding video. It just increase the recording bit rate.
Please read this link Understanding Video Bit Rates and Why They Matter
@igi97
It should work on all unbranded firmware for sure.
Give a try.
@dbowmanda115
I don't have time to make it support Multi DPI. Sorry buddy.
@Sheyder2
Okay. I'll try for it when I get time. Maybe on weekend..

---

Thanks for this great work! Could you make an app compatible with 400 dpi please?

---

Nice work.!!!! Try to increase the quality of the video in slow motion.

Goodmorning, just replace the apk manually then the other file and reboot
this is a stock camera apk so it work only with touchwiz rom not with CM12 and others
after some test id like to share result:
with modified stock: the quality is little increased when you zoom in the picture you can see the difference
the video is also good but the size is so big and I don't know if it's different mayby more smooth

Very nice instructions, what about permissions dude ? Don't talk if you don't know, someone will read this, do it and have no camera because you said '' just replace the apk manually then the file and reboot '' you need to change permisions too!
