Editor's Choice: 11 Camera Apps to Put Your Samsung Galaxy Note 2 on Steroids
There are many impressive features on a Samsung Galaxy Note 2, but just like any other smartphone on the market, the most used one is the camera. How many times did you take a picture today? Or admire all the selfies in your gallery? Or upload a video to Instagram, Vine, or Snapchat?That's what I thought.However, if you're not softModding your Note 2, you're just touching the surface of mobile photography and what your camera can do for you. Below are 11 apps and mods that will maximize your Note 2's camera, improve your Instagram, Vine, and Shapchat experience, and help you be a stealthier photographer.
1. Turn It into a Stealthy Security Camera (No Root Required)If your socks are mysteriously disappearing in the middle of the night, chances are you may have a sock gnome, or just a really weird roommate.To find out what's going on, you don't need an expensive security system, just a free app called Motion Detector by jastrzab. When you go to bed, just hide your phone with the camera pointed at the target area and it will snap photos when any movement occurs and save them to the app. Please enable JavaScript to watch this video.
Click here for a detailed walkthrough of using Motion Detector. This is not a night-vision camera, so you will need to make sure the target area is lit well enough to capture the sock thief in the act.
2. Take Stealthy Pics Without Being Noticed (No Root Required)There's nothing like a "No Pictures" sign to bring out the photographer in you. If you want to lessen your chances of getting caught taking pictures when you're not supposed to, an app like Spy Camera OS might do the trick.Created by Jimmy Halim, this free spy camera makes taking pictures less noticeable by shrinking the viewfinder's display to a tiny screen so people looking over your shoulder have a hard time telling what you're doing. Please enable JavaScript to watch this video.
Click here for a detailed walkthrough of using Spy Camera OS. This way, you can still see what you're taking photos of, which is better than shooting blind. However, sometimes the only way to take pics in high-security areas is to have the screen completely off. In that case, the previous Motion Detector app will let you snap photos with the display off, but you'll have a lot of images to sort through after the fact.
3. Take Better Selfies (No Root Required)Where do you go after you've mastered the art of selfies? One way is with Face2Gif: Animated GIF Creator by Yu Chen Hou. This free app lets you supercharge your selfies into animated GIF files, which you can then upload to any GIF-supporting social site. Please enable JavaScript to watch this video.
Click here for a detailed walkthrough of using Face2Gif. Note that in the video, it states you can only use the front-facing camera, but the app has since been updated to also support the rear one.
4. Share Full Size Images on Instagram (No Root Required)By now, nearly everyone has hopped on the Instagram bandwagon, but some of you have stayed away due to its limiting square-only pics. However, there is an easy way around that square. Sorta...#Square from Sergio Otro lets you upload uncropped photos onto Instagram by adding borders on either the sides or the tops of the image to meet the square requirements. The end result is still a square, but the actual image is just how you wanted it. Please enable JavaScript to watch this video.
Click here for a detailed walkthrough of using #Square. There are other "no-crop" apps (a misnomer if I ever saw one) for Instagram such as Crop n' Square and #NoCrop, but we dig #Square best.
5. Get the Updated 4.3 Jelly Bean Camera (No Root Required)The newest Android 4.3 is out right now on certain Google Nexus devices, but what about the Galaxy Note 2? It's still running on the earlier 4.1.2 Jelly Bean! Sadly, there's still no official statement about when (and if) 4.3 will hit the Note 2, but it's expected to be shortly after the Samsung Unpacked event schedule for Sept 4th, where they'll most likely unveil the new Galaxy Note 3 (which will have 4.3 installed).If you can't wait or don't believe the rumors, you can still enjoy the benefits of the new Camera and Gallery apps—without getting rid of your 4.1.2 Camera and Gallery apps. Best of all, no root is required. Just enable Unknown Sources and install the APK file, courtesy of developer A N D Y. Please enable JavaScript to watch this video.
Click here for a detailed walkthrough of installing the 4.3 camera. If you previously installed the 4.2 Camera and Gallery apps, you will need to uninstall them first before getting the 4.3 ones.
6. Get Quicker Access to Your Camera (Root Required)If you aren't protecting your Note 2 with a pattern, PIN, or password, then it's pretty easy to access the camera by swiping the icon on the lock screen or by using an app like Twisty to just flick it open. However, those options require you to have swipe to unlock enabled, which basically means no security.If you want instant access to your camera, but want to keep the rest of your phone locked down, then Enable Camera on Lockscreen by MohammadAG is what you want. Please enable JavaScript to watch this video.
Click here for details on installing and using Enable Camera on Lockscreen. This mod does require you to be rooted and have the Xposed Framework installed, but if you want instant access to your camera app, iOS style, then it's definitely worth the hassle.
7. Hack a Self-Timer into Instagram & Vine (Root Required)Tired of always seeing your arm in your selfies? A self-timer should do the trick. Instagram and Vine do not offer this feature, even though they should, but there is a way to incorporate your own into their apps.RepetiTouch Free by Erwin Goslawski is an app that lets you record touch-based actions on your phone, much like Android Bot Maker does, but much, much simpler—and it works fantastic on Instagram and Vine. The free version doesn't allow multi-touch actions, but you only need one touch for a self-timer. Please enable JavaScript to watch this video.
Click here for a detailed walkthrough of using RepetiTouch. The free version also limits you to 60 seconds recording time, but that's more than enough to set a self-timer. If you're using Instagram with this, then you can essentially set a 45 second timer if you want to record a full 15 second video. If you want more time, or want to record time-lapse Instagrams or Vines (multi-touches), then RepetiTouch Pro ($3.49) is great.
8. Password-Protect Your Gallery (No Root Required)If you take a lot of scandalous pictures, it's probably a good idea to keep your Note 2 locked. But what if one of your friends wants to check an email or update their Facebook status on your device? You may want to consider password-protecting your Gallery app itself, to keep their over-curious eyes out.One way to do this is with an app called HI App Lock. There are plenty of apps out there that let you password-protect individual apps, but this one makes it a little less noticeable by creating a fake error message when prying eyes try to open the app. It will look like the app crashed instead of making it known that you're protecting it, which makes it obvious that you have secrets. Please enable JavaScript to watch this video.
Click here for a detailed walkthrough of using HI App Lock. This is the free version of the app, so if you want more features, check out the Premium version ($1.93). Click here to learn more about the differences between free and paid.
The Next 3 Are for Obsessive Snapchatters OnlyIf you're obsessed with the self-destructing style of Snapchat, but would like to get a little more out of it, these next 3 mods are for you.
9. Automatically Save Snapchats (Root Required)The allure of Snapchat is that none of the images or videos can be saved, but sometimes you just want a repeat, so for that there's Keepchat. This mod, like Enable Camera on Lockscreen above, requires root access and the Xposed Framework, but it's well worth it if you want to keep a backup of every single Snapchat you're sent. Please enable JavaScript to watch this video.
Click here for a detailed walkthrough of using Keepchat. This app was originally developed by Sturmen, and during that time all pictures and videos that were automatically saved were reported to the senders. The new version of Keepchat is being maintained by Sebastian Stammler, who has disabled the reporting feature so you can save Snapchats undetected.
10. Secretly Save Snapchats (No Root Required)If you like the idea of saving Snapchats without being detected, but don't want to root your device, then Snapchat Holo Edition from Ox Apps is the way to go. Please enable JavaScript to watch this video.
Click here for a detailed walkthrough of using Snapchat Holo Edition. You will need to uninstall the original Snapchat app in order to install this one, which is not available on Google Play, so make sure to enable Unknown Sources before trying to install it.
11. Upload Any Image as a Snapchat (Root Required)Hate how you're forced to take pictures and videos using Snapchat's own camera? This last Snapchat mod lets you bypass that restriction so you can upload any photo or video in your gallery as a self-destructing Snapchat. It's called Snapshare, and it's created by the same Stammler who took over Keepchat. Please enable JavaScript to watch this video.
Click here for a detailed walkthrough of using Snapshare. This mod is just like Keepchat in that it requires root and the Xposed Framework, so make sure you've got those before attempting to install.
