LG G3 4K Video on AOSP - did it ever work for anyone at all?

A while back CM12 had a patch that enabled 4K video recording. I remember that it even worked SOME of the time, but mostly it showed to be recording without saving anything. Currently on CM12 and Blisspop the option is again removed - probably because it was buggy: review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/103494
I've tried many different camera ZIPs from other manufacturers (Motorola cam, Lenovo cam) but they do not appear to enable 4K either.
I tried playing around with the media_profiles configuration file, uncommenting the 4K profile. This does enable 4K video recording - even saving, but the framerate is really bad (<10), both with stock and third party cameras.
So my question: Did anyone ever get smooth 4K video to work on AOSP? If so what was the combination of software used?

yes it did work for idiots who;
1) flased xXcameraXxfix_AROMA_VIPERPRO_v4_FAKXDA_LIKE_SUBSCRIBE_DONATE_YOUTELLMEBUGS.zip
2) set the resolution to 4K
3) shot a video
4) never realized it didn't even save, even if it did, it was lagging between 5 and 15 fps
TL;DR
no, it did not, i have flashed all the 3rd party crap from random monkeys claiming they fixed the camera on aosp promising stock quality
to those who come in here telling me it does, provide proof or gtfo

BUT, is there any non-stock ROM with STOCK camera quality? No 4K, I do not need that, only 1080p (60 fps or 30).

Nope Coki4, unfortunately Tehosiris is right: with the HTC cam and resolution "fix" I can record in 4K, but it is still way too low framerate (15 FPS or worse).
Voterx: To me 4K is most important, hence the thread. If i want proper pictures I take my DSLR anyway... 4K video is something that is really a beautiful thing if you have the screen to display it. There is a huge difference between 1080p and 4K.
To me it is starting to look like the camera driver in AOSP source is just not able to push the pixels?

Snap camera does it. I have also found that snap camera takes as good, or better in some cases, pictures as the stock camera.

you're wrong

With snap camera

What are you doing to get those file properties? Want to check what my jerky files say..
edit:
Properties here also shows 30 fps, but the video is jerky as fuuuuuu* - i guess it is saved "as" 30 FPS but it just drops a bunch. Yes it is 4K but def not 30 FPS, even if the file shows it to be (for me).
but.. if it is smooth for you I want to know your exact rom details so I can try to achieve my holy grail.

can one of the digital cowboys upload these fabled 4k videos shot on aosp?
i still yet to see a nonstock 4k video that doesn't lag like ****
@geekmystique the jerkyness doesn't show in properties, they are just the same as regular videos, you can check the properties in root explorer or any other file explorer.

it does not matter , it is important that you are not right

your 2nd screenshot shows that the 4k video is in 59.9 fps, now THAT i'd like to see.
bending physics with an apk eh? :laugh:
edit: judging from the amount of silence after the bigface comments, i assume it takes an awful lot of time to upload the fabled 60fps 4k video (translation: someone is full of **** and/or clueless)

Let's not make this into a flamewar of sorts.
This is a video I took of my hand waving in front of the camera, whatever the file info says, it is not 30 FPS - by far, it is dropping frames like crazy. The file properties say 30 FPS in MPCHC, but windows properties shows the truth: 18 FPS.

If your video looks better, great - let me know what you did. And if you can spare the time, post it please.
Let's discuss

I do not need 4K, I just need stock quality camera in custom ROMS It's different question.

i suggest you take a look at the camera comparison post here on xda, showing stock / moto / htc / whatever side-by-side
there is no such thing as stock quality on non-LG driver backed software
Anyways, i'm absolutely on geekmystique's side here, i've had multiple people giving me lectures how i need to flash xyz.zip set ABC settings to DEF, align my device towards Mars, count to 7 and stand on my left foot to have AMAZING STOCK QUALITY PHOTOS AND VIDEOS.
Guess what, i've done all those steps, flashed all the zips, pirated all the ****ty apks and gotten nothing but disappointment.
Thats why there is sarcasm towards these 'BUT MY AOSP CAMERA IZ BETTUR BRUH YOU SUK', when it's clearly not. Hell, half of the conversations ended at 'WHO NEEDS 4K' or 'I DONT NEED CAMERA ANYWAYS' which is ridiculus when it's these people giving lectures on how to flash stuff they don't even know what it contains.

If so.. Please post the video - my video that I posted also says 30 FPS, but it stutters like mad. If you can get better video I would be really happy to know.

Guess the aosp camera is just as good as stock boys are back in their caves.

I use Cloudy only because of Xcam. I really would like a [email protected] or [email protected] for CM12.1

LSC (Lenovo Super Camera)

I found it on 4pda but i think developer was from this forum.
I dont take any credit, i didnt port this camera nor was in the process in any way...
Dont ask me for porting something else etc...
This is flashable zip, go in TWRP and flash, reboot, voila
This camera is by my opinion one of the best for custom roms, based on Nougat.
Snapdragon stock camera records dark videos and panoramas so this is good alternative...
For OREO i advise to use OnePlus camera because of API2.
Im on AEX 4.4 rom 24.07 build, using Heliox kernel 15.10 build, flashed camera blobs extracted from stock nougat.
Link: https://mega.nz/#!Y91h2baR!pUEHq4-pr6mljUw1EybmU-GpHn1LUc5l-Imf8tFBq58
Doesnt work:
Panorama mode
Panorama selfie
and some other options which are specific to Lenovo phones.
PRO mode is working, you can set manualy some parameters, really nice options...

This is a comparison of OnePlus 2.5.12 camera and this LCS camera:
Tested during night:
Video recording is better with LSC camera, in low light. Also Lenovo camera has option to take pictures during recording. Zoom is faster with LSC when recording.
For pictures I give advance to OnePlus camera, faster autofocus, also it has feature to brighten the image, like iPhone.
But I think picture details are better with LSC. When you zoom you can see the difference. Also double the size of pictures for LSC. But focus with LSC can sometimes be missed. For focus advantage goes to OnePlus.
Selfie definitely better with LSC, with OnePlus pictures are yellowish.
Tested during daylight:
Video autofocus is much quicker and less noticeable in LCS camera, OnePlus zooms like its taking a picture and defocused period is much longer than on LCS.
Pictures have warmer colors with LCS, and more details, but OnePlus is definitely winner for autofocus and sharpness of an image... You can achieve that with LCS but you have to get used to it and see when focus is not right and manually tap for focus. Or move away the phone to let it zoom again and take another picture. LCS focus is not bad at all but Oneplus camera is much faster and more accurate.

Here is also latest gcam that works without API 2
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...06-126161292-2-android-apk-download/download/
I think is creates the best panoramas. Needs more testing...
Today i saw it creates dark images in low light but panorama stays light.
This app is only for PANORAMA mode.

Thanks for sharing mate.
Currently I'm using this and the Camera from OP5. Both seems to be the best alternative cameras for the Custom ROMs

Absolutely. They have their cons and pros but combined makes camera perfect . Only slow motion doesnt work good with any camera... But i can live without it.
Oreo ZUI is out for our phone btw, i hope camera on custom OREO roms will get even better and that zui developers enabled api2 finally....
HDR+ google camera makes really nice photos...

Bad news, looks like ZUI devs didn't enabled API2 even in OREO rom...
I asked few guys which installed the rom, HDR+ cannot be found. But they say camera is much improved...

Is there a way to fix dark video on modded gcams for Oreo roms?

Hello, i've been using arnova's modded gcams for a while, and noticed that video recording is extremelly dark, and sometimes get black screen flashes on it, not even close to photo's quality.
The only camera that seems to be doing an extremelly good job with videos is the oneplus modded one, but it lacks a lot of features.
Actually the image quality of the modded Gcam is shocking when enabling hwhdr on debugging and setting hdr to high, video doesn't stand a chance. As it doesn't happen only on one app, I believe it is a system or a camera2api configuration that the oneplus camera and the default camera ignores (I am running Pixel Experience, feb latest build, but it's a thing on every Oreo's ROM).
Is there anyone that knows about the topic any way or idea to debug it -be it from the camera source files or from the c2a settings-? It would be insane to have also the video ia for stabilization of the Gcam and maybe it can compare or be better than the OnePlus Camera.
Open to suggestions !

They is another problem with the modded gcam, when we select 60fps option camcorder the screen flickers while focusing and thats been recorded

There's nothing to do to check flickering, dark video and fix colours on preview? images looking a bit color-dead before obturation on some cameras, seems that only aplications that overrides those settings are working good. (modded gcams are dark and flickers on video, apps like instagram that doesnt obture gets a bit of lack of colours since preview doesnt do a bit of hwhdr to have an more accurate end result to obturation and also nicer looks on instagram photos). Seems to be a problem with the phone configuration since the camera can record well on other devices, and the op camera can record well on ours. Not like there are no ways around now, we can use both cameras and take the images with stock camera before uploading them but in long term it would be a nice improvement on social networks direct uploading, easier to take videos and photos on a single application (also to have gcam benefits as it is video stabilization). Sorry if I didn't explain myself properly, im not so good at english. Also, I didnt develop directly for android/camera but if someone with a bit of idea gives me the hand I can check out the settings. I don't have so much free time to learn now but as a developer with a couple of tips on the topic maybe I can find a way around to check those settings. Or if an experienced developer with time and will to do it I can help out maybe. I believe it's worth to give it a look

Google Camera is finally here people ??

Yes you read it correct our long wait is over now. Now we too can enjoy the amazing processing of gcam. Everything works like a charm and there is a significant improvement in the quality. I'm sure this will get better as this is obiously an early build.
And it's not the pixel 2 camera but it's the pixel 3 one!..
Here's what works:
*Portrait mode on both front and back cams(only on humans)
*HDR+, HDR+ enhanced
*Panorama (super glitchy for now)
*And pretty much everything else
*Night mode ( slight improvements only)
*Photo Sphere
Here's what doesn't work:
*Live Google lens
At first the images will look dead.So after you install it you need to increase the saturation. Go to settings , bsg mod settings , saturation and change saturation of front and back cam.
Literally all the credit goes to @xdaakhil for digging this up. If you want to thank someone thank him.
Well my thanks button is down there too ?
Working on :
Honor 9 Lite
Honor 7X
Honor P Smart
Mate 10 Lite
P20 Lite
Honor 6x
keep testing
Edit: video and photos sphere works after changing the default storage to internal. Don't know why it doesn't work with the SD card?
Photo sphere is also very buggy
Photos cannot be clicked without enabling HDR+ or HDR+ enhanced.
There is a pinkish tint on highlights. This can be overcome if you guys focus on the lit(highlights) part by tapping on the viewfinder.
This port can work without root or any modifications.

Here's the original thread where you can find the link to the camera:https://forum.xda-developers.com/9-lite/themes/google-pixel-3-camera-port-honor-9-lite-t3858075

All photos were taken indoors in relatively low lights. So considering that it's pretty cool. Just wish the video gets fixed soon.

? Don't know why that happened. Try downloading it again.

To those of you who who don't know why portrait only work on humans:
Gcam doesn't utilise the secondary camera that comes with the device as pixel phones have a single lens setup. The portrait is completely software based. You can check this, cover the secondary lens and click a portrait pic, it'll work!
This is also very useful as we will get good quality blur and edge detection like flagships in our budget phones as the software processing is the same in both apps.
So the camera cannot detect Dept between the subject and background as it only uses one lens.

Hello,
please, tell me, did you find optimal settings of gcam for our phone? Saturation and HDR+? I am testing it but I am not finding the perfect combination yet.

Well im also a bit confused about the perfect match.
But this is what I use:
Pixel 3 as the input method in both front and rear cams(for the super res zoom to work)
Saturation, rear cam highlights 2.7 shadow 2.9
Front cam highlights 2.2 shadow 2.6
Tweak around yourself but I couldn't get the cam to take a picture like it is shown in the viewfinder and the skin tones are better in the viewfinder than the final photo ( the details are far better though)

Thank you Fredin. I will test it.

Been lurking for a while, just registered to say thanks, works nicely the difference is pretty big! Panoramic mode is slow and buggy for me but photosphere does the same thing anyway and works well, lastly, is the RAW picture supposed to look really low resolution like it does for me?

It's working on P Smart as well, will be testing more tomorrow.

Anyways thanks guys. Keep testing

Yeah the raw shots do look like it's of low quality(don't know why). But since this build wasn't built for us this is really good.
Only if someone ports the camera for Kirin devices.
Anyways good to hear from you.

I'm not sure as slow motion recording requires hardware support which our phones dosent have.
Normally phones (including ours) records in 30 or 60 fps which is good for taking normal videos but not for slow-mo recording. All the apps you see in playstore just slows down the fps and processes them to slow the video down, but this causes quality loss and an artificial feel to it.
So I don't think we will be about to get slow motion working.

Yup, its working on my honor 9 lite like boom but 1 thing I would like to ask is that it supports any image stabilisation or not.

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!!
video

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.
