In order to reduce the size of captured images, Samsung reduced quality from 100% to 96%. While images are smaller in size, the quality is bad compared to 100%. The camera quality mod for Galaxy Note 4 has a long list of improvements. Here are the main ones:

  • Turned JPEG quality up to 100% from 96%

  1. The how to install part is no real help here at all. I am good with phones but I don’t often fiddle with system areas so basically find the part where it tells me to get lost when I try to move the file to the system folder quite annoying.

    • You will need a root file explorer like Root Explorer. Launch the app and go to the root of the storage. Press the back button the app warns you that it will close. There’s the “System” folder. Inside it are all the other folders.

      • Figured I’d need to root shortly after I posted. Weighing up to pros and cons to doing a root. I want the even better pictures and really really want the limit upped on the video recording length. But I fear rooting like the plague :S

      • Okay I bit the bullet and rooted; however, I tried moving the files in to the corresponding system folders mentioned above and it comes up saying read only and cannot write still… I assume I’m doing something wrong?

        Using ES File Explorer btw.

          • Yeah I checked that about half an hour ago when the penny dropped. Although coming back to here to be told that what I did was a good thing is nice, showing that I am not completely stupid :p Although I am now getting “Unfortunately, camera has stopped” message 🙁 Permissions set to RW- R– R–. Obviously I have restarted my phone.
