Hi guys,
I recently bought an LG G4, received it yesterday and got the update to Marshmallow pretty fast.
Today I was experimenting with the camera and I have to say, the picture quality is gorgeous, the videos however are a different story. The 1080p clips are fine but when I record in 4k the framerate for some reason is very low (around 20fps) wich causes terrible videos.
I don't see any option in the camera settings to change the framerate of the video.
Can anyone help?
Thank you in advance,
MoraisGT
---------------------------------------------------------------
Edit: I am really sorry guys, it turns out that there is nothing wrong with the camera. Whenever I open a 4k video recorded with the G4 on my pc the framerate is indeed horrible, but if I skip the video forward a bit it becomes normal. There isn't a problem with the device, just the software on my pc.
Can a moderator delete this thread?
Again I am really sorry

Until a moderator will do that maybe you can just change the name of the topic to add something like [False Alarm, not a problem] or something similar Just my 2c
Hi everyone.
I have a Moto G 2015 with LineageOS (14.1-20170511-NIGHTLY-osprey), after the Update both my camera and my YouTube app don't refresh the screen.
The camera takes pictures but I can't see the live preview. On the YouTube, videos play normally, when I change to fullscreen, the image freezes but the sound continues.
The software runs but don't render or refresh the screen.
Someone else having this problem?

Hi, thanks a lot for this hint!
I just checked the changelog of the fresh nightly 20170518, but I think I didn't spot a fix for this issue.
Can someone confirm that the new nightly build fixes it?
Thanks!
I've just updated it today and it works flawless to me now!

Thanks everybody!
Went to Xperience Rom for a week, and yesterday I flashed the last version of LineageOS, everything is working just fine.
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
4K EIS with camera2 api

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

Hi,
I'd like to address this issues, my device is a H815 AICP rom but it didn't even work with the stock rom before I UsU-ed it.
Sooo it doesn't really show up the 1440p option on YouTube even though it has a 1440p display and used to work but it didn't work since March of last year, it used to buy now it just shows 1080p no matter what video you are trying to watch. Please help ?

Hi there!
Some of you can play hdr content on Amazon prime video? The 7T is supposed to be certified but the maximum quality I can get is fullHD.
Back on November the option was there (settings-quality-streaming) which was 5.8GB/h but it disappeared three weeks ago. Now, the maximum is 1.8GB/h (fullHD).
Thanks.
Nobody with Amazon prime video? Really?
I am happy to check, but I honestly don't know how?
Not present
Just checked it's stuck at 1.8GB/Hr ! Any way to bring it back to 5GB / Hr ?

It's quite simple. Play a video with hdr option (the boys, the man in the hight castle, Jack Ryan, carnival row...).
While you are playing it (over WiFi if you can) touch the screen and under the duration bar you will see the resolution (hd, hd 1080 or hdr).
Or you can go to settings-qualitity-streaming (or download) and you should see something above 5GB/h.

I think is related to Amazon. This happens since they updated the app back on November (blue icon instead of white).
I cannot find the APK corresponding to the October version.

I just tried installing last 3 builds from Apkmirror and can confirm all 3 had same 1.8GB / Hr.
Sep build was worse as it has 460mb/hr.
Everytime I tried installing a new build, deleted all the cache and trace files of previous installation and proceeded. No luck
Update on 27th January 2020
I recently purchase the OnePlus 7T - HDR works on Netflix & YouTube. However, doesn't work on PrimeVideo app.
I had a chat with someone from the Amazon Support, here's an excerpt from that conversation (AgentName redacted) -
AgentName: Right now, Phones which has the Widevine L1 certification are able to access the videos in HD format only.
AgentName: Currently, HDR is not introduced in Prime Video app.
Me: Is that a region specific thing?
AgentName: We're adding the support for the phone one by one.
Me: Okay. Is there a list of phones that have already received the support? Something that will keep getting updated so that we can figure out which devices are now compatible
AgentName: We are working on this to adding the support for the phone one by one.
AgentName: To help you out, I've forwarded your expectations to our Prime videos Development Team so that they will look into this and may come up with HDR support for your phone in future updates.
Me: Okay. Thank you for your time AgentName. That's all I needed.
I think OnePlus should've done some work with these companies to ensure that their devices get HDR on these platforms before they mass produce and sell them. Hopefully this issue will be resolved soon. :fingers-crossed:
