4k recording possible? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers

Hey community,
does anyone know how to enable 4k recording? Is it even possible? I have the latest firmware, Google camera, resurrection remix OS.
There is a working technique for MIUI, does the same thing exist for stock android as well?
Thanks for your replies

Try Open Camera from playstore. It supports 4k recording.

install xiaomi.eu

For the China version you need MIUI and make some adjustments in build.prop to get 4k recording. However it is without stabilization.
If you use stock android, 4k doesn't appear but other weird resolutions appear in Open camera. If you force 4k in open camera it will crash.

Google Cam For Lineage os/ Resurrection Remix?

I have tried many camera on los and RR ROM but nothing is really helping. I followed one post and installed 5.2 version . it is okay but no HDR option. How can I fix all of my prbln? Any proper solution?

You have to go settings - change the resolution of rear camera to 16:9 (9.0 megapixels) and it will work.
Use this version;

With this, you will have HDR+ working for both rear and front cam.

Nvm . Thanks anyway .
I have installed this version and its working fine. So cool
Wrong pic ****.
Use arnova's pixel2 version and disable enable_micro setting in developer options of the app. Then you can use 12 mp back camera with hdr+ enhanced too.
And also if you want 120fps slow motion recording (4x slowed down to 30fps video), you should have miui camera installed and at least open video recording screen of the miui cam, then try gcam's slomo.
For every reboot you must do that opening video recording screen in miui cam before gcam slomo or it crashes. Looks like miui cam is enabling something just by opening its video recording screen.

Best Camera App?

Hello there. I have been searching for the best camera app for my Zuk Z2 plus and still haven't found it.
I would love a app with back and front camera potrait mode, 1080p 60fps video, slow motion at 960fps, (our device supports that as it was in the stock camera app) and other features that come in handy! I have tried the latest and previous versions of arnova's google camera fix and it is brilliant, but these days video recorder only works in 4k. It shows a black screen at 1080p (be it 30 or 60 fps) and 720p video works until we start to record, it just crashes. Even the stock camera app on RR doesn't work well. I it worked brilliantly before, but suddenly it just stopped working (maybe due to the fact that i played with the developer settings ?)
I have a unlocked bootloader, Resurrection Remix v6.0 (android 8.1) with root access. Please guide me about the best i can do. Peace

Our phone doesn't actually has capability to shoot 720p and 960fps it was stock 120fps but in the gallery app it would play it at less than 30fps(default) That's all

How to enable google camera 4k on custom roms (i.e. ResurrectionRemix)

Hey guys,
I really like the google camera but it seems like I can't get 4k (30fps) video recording up and running. If I switch it on, the camera force closes, no matter what I do or what version I use.)
Right now I am at the latest version of saneklic (2018-07-21; MGCamera_5.1.0.18_R5Plus_v.5.1.17_fix_crash.apk)
I know about the tutorial claiming you need to enable it in some "whyred.xml" which is in a "device feature folder" (a folder somewhere in system/etc/) or something like that, but there is no such thing in a custom rom: it exists only on MIUI. I've already tried every tutorial possible, but nothing helps.
4k is working with the lineage snap, the google camera picture quality is much better though and I really prefere the gcam (because of additional settings/mods)
Thank you very much, any help is very much appreciated. If someone can help me, I will donate you a coffee :highfive:

Hey man, I'm really disappointed so far by RN5, I couldn't find a way to record stabilized 4K on custom roms, not even with Open Camera which worked fine on MIUI 10. I have a two year old RN3 which records 4K with gcam (not stabilized) and takes slightly better photos than RN5.
So far i've tried RR, LOS and AEX. 4K recording crashes any camera I've used. Open Camera just gives an error. Waited 2 weeks to unlock bootloader, thinking it will open the gates of heaven. In fact been through hell since I unlocked(yesterday). Antirollback is like a minefield which I luckily avoided, then front camera barely works with gcam, some slight battery drain with custom roms and now 4K recording is broken. Feels like I've downgraded my phone.
Think I'll try to flash MIUI 10, root it, enable camera 2 api for gcam and use Open Camera for EIS enabled 4K. Btw the latest gcam by alone_in_dark works best, even front camera works quite good, try it.
Edit: I flashed MIUI 10, once I enabled camera2 api 4K doesn't work. So it's either 4K or HDR+. Thanks Xiaomi.

Thanks for everything! To be honest I prefere much more [email protected] instead of [email protected] I managed to get 4k recordings on lineage snap & open camera no problem. Google camera is where it's at though, I love the settings & mods. I can help you out though if you really want to do 4k recordings ^^

Can't say no to that. But since 4K (3840 × 2160 resolution) doesn't appear in open camera after enabling camera2 api, I don't think there's a fix for that. It appears only 4000 x 2000 2:1 which gives an error. I did manage to get 4K working with another third party camera, but without EIS. Because RN5 can record 4K with excellent stabilization it's a pitty not to use it. So now if I want to record something I just use another build.prop without cam2.api then reboot, and switch back to enabled cam2.api prop when I want to use HDR+ :laugh:

This is horrible! I mean is it a firmware issue or some custom rom problem? Unfortuantly I'm not much into mobile software development... I really really want a fix, I would even pay money for it xD :highfive:
Edit_0: If we take a look at this link; a possible solution is shown but it doesn't work... a hotfix would be cool but meh it's alright you can't have it all...
Edit_1: Installing it as a system app doesn't help either btw

Hello my friend, it seems you can have it all, I finally found a way to record 4K with EIS while having camera2 api enabled. I'm really happy now and overall satisfied with the phone. Only issue remaining is the front camera HDR+ which is beyond my knowledge, hopefully someone else will come with a fix.
So now, how I managed to record 4K? I'm on MIUI 10 (8.7.12), and using latest blackbox kernel by KunalKene1797. Don't know if these have any effect, but I thought it's good to know.
The third party camera I'm using is Snap Camera, there are certain settings which need to be enabled. I'll post a video with the settings I used and which worked best. 4K Video Support and Use Camera2 API being the most important ones. There could be other settings which could improve the recording, but I like to stay on these stable settings, because I'm pleased with the results so far.
Here's the video with the settings needed in Snap Cam https://youtu.be/gRj9LhYWv5Y(video is back)
Here's the first 4K video https://youtu.be/oQGc4gXnGU0
A test for auto-focus https://youtu.be/V41k21qKQpE
No EIS sample vs EIS https://youtu.be/_qNFNs2gq74 VS https://youtu.be/00J-3cAzLjg
Edit 1: I also tried setting higher bitrate than the default 42, however in windows at the details on the first video it shows 40 total bitrate and when setting to 64 it shows 42, either way it seems the quality was marginally improved. I guess the phone can't write faster than that or the storage doesn't allow it.
https://youtu.be/Q7Lqlr-QanA
Some stuttering can be seen from 0:08 to 0:11, but I think that's because the phone started thermal throttling, it's very hot outside and from all the testing, phone was quite hot too.
I really hope it works for you as well, take care.

Youtube removed the settings video, can you post it in text here? Or upload the video somewhere else? Thanks! Been looking for a solution to have 4k EIS and camera2 api for a long time since Open Camera didn't work anymore.

Please check back later, I appealed to the decision to remove my video. The video doesn't contain any scam or anything that may violate the community guidelines.
In the mean time I'll make the video available from google photos https://photos.app.goo.gl/AqZHZ9xMn4nSc9pv7

Hi! Thanks for all the details. I am using the latest miui 10, and WITHOUT api2 turned on, I used hedge camera app, and the 4k eis was working fine, but phone was droping the frames / stuttering the recorded video, which is a bit annoying.
I tested your setup, and I can see that its better, but still sometimes I can see some dropped frames. It happen to you too?
Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

Yes, it happens to me as well, in the first 8 to 10 seconds, I think it's the cpu, it can't use EIS very well with 4K. Without EIS there are no dropped frames or stutter issues.
A suggestion would be to use a very fast micro sd card, haven't tested, but worth a try.
After about 4-5 minutes the phone gets quite warm and stutter is inevitable due to thermal throttling.
Flash this in TWRP to enable 4k recording in Google camera and other camera2 API-enabled apps

1080p 60fps video recording for rn5p on custom roms

Hello guys, as the title says 1080p 60fps video recording feature. I heard it is possible, so could this be added as default on custom roms?
I don't know if lineage snap offers 1080p60 but apps like >>open camera<< and >>google camera<< offer 1080p60fps and much more!

autofocus problems MI10T original camera app

Hello friends, I give you a video that I have made of the problem that I see with this mobile and the autofocus when you record at 60fps, either 1080 or 4k. It takes a long time to focus, or it does not focus directly, and when it works, it does so by jumping quite uncomfortably. in 30 fps everything goes smoothly. Happens to you? thanks!!

I can reproduce this on my phone's stock camera, but not as badly as on your video. It seems there's something different about how it chooses to focus when in 60p.
I suspect it's software-related, as when I run 4k 60p on GCAM 8.1 I don't see the issue at all. I'm running MIUI 12.0.9.

[/CITAR]
correct friend, when it is at 60fps, the autofocus looks like the one used in photo mode, and is not progressive as in video mode at 30fps. Can you tell me exactly what version of gcam are you using? what xml? I have an operator rom in 12.0.4, I am thinking of putting global, but I have not animated yet.

I'm using the newest GCAM 8.1. The main things work, but can't use other lenses at the moment. 4k 60p seems to work ok.
