Hi,
I didn't find information about this yet. I am new to Android but never intended to use stock, so I bought the Z1c and flashed CM11. The only thing I miss are video recordings with 60 or even 120 FPS, as possible with stock firmware. Now, please correct me, if I am wrong. AFAIU it is not easily possible to port the stock camera because of the dependency of Sony's framework (even if I don't understand the difficulties about this and why nobody did it yet?). If I understood correctly, the drivers extracted blobs from stock-ROM, so it not being able to record videos with high frame rates is not an issue of the camera driver but of the camera app. I also didn't find an alternative camera app providing this functionality.
I read that Android L will bring much more possibilities to the camera API, so apps could be able to 'get the full performance of image sensors', as I read in some news article. It will be possible to take RAW images as well as setting the exposure time, aperture, fps etc manually, even if the device manufacturer wants to limit these functions. Do you see maybe a possibility to get high-speed recording with Android L based CM(12?)?
/e: nevermind, did't read properly.
Hello, does anyone know if this is implemented in a ROM or if there's a mod available to enable 1080p 60fps recording ? I barely found out about this just before i decided to purchase the 10 and found it odd due to the fact that the M8 can do 1080p @60:rolleyes :roll eyes: . Is there a way a request can be made or something ?

I've looked into it the but HTC added some compilation the configuration for 60fps is the same for The HTC 10 Nexus 6p and 5X have it working on the nexus .
HTC Complications.
In Camera 2 Mode it could be accessed via high speed recording api but for some reason this causes strange green overlay flickering video is in 60fps but unusable so that's out.
Camera 1 mode using Qualcomms video-hfr parameter HTC seems to have substituted this with their own video-mode parameter in theory it should work but they messed with some switch where even if you select 60fps it tries to look for a 90fps stream but that's nothing that can't be fixed in ida.
I tried using video-mode param but didn't seem to take any effect I do not have a HTC 10 to do further tests to make matters worse HTC added log mask code in pretty much all the libs rendering logcat useless.
The logcat mask needs to be disabled somehow once that's done there maybe hope but as it is now no device and no logcat I can't do much about it.
There alternative is to get 60fps working at 4k that does not require video-hfr or high-speed recording it requires time and trial and error to find the correct register values currently the know reg configs give 40fps 1080p and 32-35fps 4k.

Was anyone able to achieve [email protected] video recoding with the stock camera app?
I always saw that a lot of phones I had before got some software mods that improved e.g. camera, or any other app, so why is it that HTC 10 cannot get Camera mod to include [email protected]?
Besides, 4k video IS recorded at 60fps, so I doubt it is not possible with 1080p...
Thank you everyone for explanations and answers

Anyone figure this out? I'm looking at the Pixel or the HTC 10. The pixel can record at 1080p 120FPS and it has the same CPU as the HTC 10
Hi guys, moto g4 plus using Snapdragon 617 Processor, this processor support 1080P 60fps record but g4 plus have to feature 1080p 30fps. Will be 1080p 60fps mod ? because as g4 plus same power too phones recording [email protected], for example samsung galaxy S5
https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/processors/617
I think the camera sensor is not compatible
But it's just my thinking

There are 3 things you have to look at when deciding what resolution & speed a phone records a video...
1. Camera sensor
2. The ISP
3. The software implementation
1. Camera sensor - Omnivison OV16860
A quick look at the OmniVision site tells me that the G4 Plus sensor "supports high-quality slow motion video capture with full field of view (FOV). The sensor can capture 16-megapixel images and video at 45 fps, ultra-high resolution 4K2K video at 60 fps, and 1080p high definition (HD) video at 120 fps via high speed D-PHY and C-PHY interfaces"
What does this mean? It means that yes, our phone CAN record 1080p60 videos, & actually a lot more....
2. ISP - Snapdragon 617
It is very well known that this is a decent mid-tier SoC and has good capabilities.... But how much exactly...?
Multiple google searches led me to this -
"14.9GB/s b/w GPU Adreno 405 Adreno 405 "Next-gen" Adreno "Next-gen" Adreno Encode/
Decode 1080p H.264
1080p30 HEVC, decode 1080p H.264
1080p60 HEVC, decode 2160p30, 1080p120
H.264 & HEVC 2160p30, 1080p120
H.264 & HEVC Camera/ISP 21MP Dual ISP"
Which means yes, our phone can decode 1080p60 videos (seems to be HEVC only)
3. Software implementation -
Now this is where your answer is... Motorola has to develop (or fork) device drivers & libraries for the particular sensor & ISP. Now, on a mid-range phone for the masses, why would you spend so many development hours on trying to get 1080p60, only for it to eat away its high-range market's share. The G4 Plus is already more than capable to disrupt high range phones (ex - Moto Z Play), and if you add extra features, it'll either be costlier or everybody will buy ONLY this phone.
Long story short, Motorola hasn't included the SW implementation and/or device libs required for 1080p60. If you want it, you have to develop it yourself from Motorola's device libs & kernel.... Parts of which are closed source... Which means you can't.
Only solution is to reverse engineer/ get open source device libs for the sensor, make your changes, integrate it back into the kernel (& the system) & HOPE it works.
Similar discussion was held in the Moto G2 forums, that device was capable of 1080p recording, whereas it only had 720p in SW... Similar conclusion in the end.
Very interesting.

Thank you, that was a great summary. Much appreciated.
try oxygen for android "ABS TWEAKS" BEST APP EVER! and you'll get your 60fps, you'll need busybox, and terminal on your phone, and Int. n your phone. theres a thread on xda about it. good luck champs!!!
p.s. i take no credit for ABS TWEAKS.

Even if that abs tweak work ,It doesn't support nougat.
I think ABS TWEAK is for 60 fps playback and not camera mod. IMHO

That is DECODING - processing video files to send data to the LCD screen.
You need to look at the ENCODING process - making data files from data from the image sensor. That is a different hardware block on the chip. All I could find is that SD617 supports: "Up to 1080p video capture @60 FPS".
Datasheet doesn't say more, it's even more confusing because it says [email protected]: https://www.qualcomm.com/media/documents/files/snapdragon-617-processor-product-brief.pdf
Also, remember that, if you save on the external SD card, it's speed might not be enough to keep up with writing the video file. Some cheap cards have horrible writing performance.
It requires driver and HALs
Hi all. I am curious of what 4k bitrate ability and limitations there are on the HTC 10, with 3rd party apps., specifically to US variants including sprint t-mobile , att , verizon..
Does anyone know how well the HTC 10 would do with 3rd party apps for 4k? Can I rely on stock firmware? or are there camera mods needed for HTC models for improved 4k?
I am looking to use these apps :
Cinema4k
Lumio Camera
Freedcam
Open Camera
Curious if anyone had used any of these with the HTC 10 ...and what variant? and android version? for 4k higher bitrate?
How well did they work?
I am curious to know before acquiring one.
Any and all opinions , info appreciated.
So I am pretty sure the stock 4K recording is between 45-55MBit
Open Camera works very nicely, especially if you want to shoot in RAW mode. I have never used it for video however. I only use OpenCamera if I want to shoot in RAW mode. Otherwise, I use the stock camera app. It is just way faster to have an app already configured to shoot in RAW rather than trying to configure your "normal" app to RAW on the fly. Just choose the app that is already configured for that purpose.
Hi All.
I need to know which ROM (or rather Kernel+ROM..) has minimum system load and lightest throttling politics. Also it would be nice to see some overclocking profiles (but doubt that they will come in handy, rather the opposite).
I'm recording 4k videos in Snap Camera (HAL-1, HEVC) and want to try the highest possible bitrate (I think 100mbit).
Big thanks.
