[Q] Xperia Z1 Record 4K videos

I was planning to get a new Xperia Z1 (but it is not released yet in my country /Iraq/ ) and I was saying
Can any Dev hack it to get it recording the 4K videos
I mean the crappy note 3 can ?? why the Z1 can`t ?? they have the same SD 800 and i don`t think the ram has any effect Because the note 3 need it to run those useless bloatware and sam`s ****s
also can it be cracked to get higher framerate like 60 [email protected] or 120 [email protected] like slowmotions videos??

+1
I have the same questions since Z1 was offically released

It's possible. Someone might hack the Z1 camera app to support 4K video and 720/1080P video at higher framerates. Although I also think it's a possibility Sony will add this with an official update.
For now we have to wait for Sony anyway, to fix their bootloader unlock. After that developers can try and add features, until then though, nothing I guess..

Yeah I would say the same, obviously something went wrong with the camera SW with all those problems so I think they dropped the 4k support in order to fix the other problems(grain and low light performance) before adding in other additional features. We all know Sony always f*ck up the first 1-3 months on their SW but after that we may well indeed see A LOT of Camera mods.

Sony always seemed to be in a rush to launch products, then release sub standard firmwares etc, good to see nothing has changed. All it does is gives them bad reviews because the people doing the reviews have buggy substandard software.
If Sony really want to get serious about being at least number 2 in the android space they need to get their act together, so when the phone is launched and tested/reviewed that the reviewers go nuts on how great everything is. Then peoples decisions are likely to be swayed.
The good news is the the hardware is capable to support 4k

What's this fascination with being able to record in 4k when the chances of anyone having a 4k display to play it back on is practically nill?
Is it bragging rights?

No, it's future proofing and innovation. I would have killed to have the 20 year old videos of me in 1080p, let alone 720p instead of crappy VHS PAL quality. If possible, I would shoot everything in 1080p 3D or 4k 3D.
Why not record in the best possible quality and then be happy in a few years because you can then enjoy it fully?

can z1 record slow motion videos

Here's an interesting piece of info, I wonder if Stuff know something we don't...
I rate Stuff pretty Informative and enjoy reading their magazine, I haven't had one for a few months so decided to download their latest magazine which came out yesterday. On page 22 there's a page on the Z1 and well as you will see from my 2nd image they've put about it "Special moves including encoding and decoding and 4K video and 7.1 virtual surround sound."
Now I know that it doesn't say the camera records in 4k and they are referring to the Snapdragon 800 chip, but saying that in the first paragraph about its features; I find this really interesting because the phone doesn't show 4k so what else would they refer to 4k?
Thoughts?

[REQ] 720p 60fps video

Is anyone aware of a mod/app for the Xperia Z that allows capturing of videos in 720p 60fps? Currently, it seems it only takes them in [email protected] and [email protected]

Could've sworn such things come down to the camera sensor, not the CPU :silly:
If the possibility was there, I'm pretty sure Sony wouldn't be hiding it away
However, the preview in the camera is actually 60FPS... so... I don't know, maybe the preview isn't as demanding as actually recording with 720p+, on 60fps.

I always thought it was just a software bug since I had a Z1 (borrowed) and it only was able to capture [email protected] and [email protected] too. Since the S4 and Z1 have similar specs and the same image processor (if i'm not mistaken) and is better than the HTC One, I'm certain it isn't a hardware limitation but more of a software flaw..

Its hardware limitation, that's all s4 pro can handle. Check the website of qualcomm for more info.

Sorry but no. Encoding in 60 FPS, even if it actually does anything, doesn't mean capturing in 60 fps. I tried out the app (which is just the ro.media.enc.hprof.vid.fps setting set to 60, Im afraid) and the video was still 30fps.

Ok, I understand.

This is impossible

If you observe closely in the link below , the Asus uses same processor as XPeria Z or ZL. which records 720P videos at 60 FPS.
http://www.gsmarena.com/asus_padfone_2-5017.php
So i dont think its limited by processor. its missing libraries to perform the same thing.

the galaxy s4 uses the same camera module as the xperia z and it can handle 720p at 60fps
and as you said, the padphone 2 has the same cpu and can handle 720p at 60fps

LG camera can do 480p @ 60

Yeah.. Was wondering why people were telling me its a "hardware limitation" when even the Z1 (which btw, has really good hardware) isn't coded to capture 720p @ 60fps.

Sony already offering this feature with "Timeshift Video" camera addon I think it would work on Z too, though not sure about 4k

Harness the gpu of your phone
After the success of my Audio Engine, I decided to dedicate myself to improve another part of the phone: the graphics.
We all know that if something is beautiful intrigues us and draws us; therefore, if our phone can show the images we see every day in the best way, our user experience improves!!
Each phone has hardware limitations, large or small they are... but also in the low-end devices you can do so much in the SW to improve the user experience.
In what way?
Certainly the various engine tweaks help, but what would happen if the files are being developed that enable every millimeter of the potential of the gpu?
In this case there is the Pure™ Graphic HD system
How does it work?
This system is a. Zip file less than 300 Kb big, that once extracted brings significant improvements to the system graphics. No themes, no apps, only functions that take advantage of the best of our mobile gpu
Features
- Enable GPU rendernig
- Enable dithering but did not affect consumption!!
- Use the GPU for the management of the touch
- Improve video HW render
- It allows you to play ported ARMV7 games without lags problems
- Increase scores on the AnTuTu graphic rank
- In MDPI devices improves the density pixels and brightness
- Eliminates lag system with the generator of video entropy
- Liquify the UI
http://www.mediafire.com/download/zi7q6fk7cm9lclq/Pure_Graphic_HD_%28Rendering+Version%29.zip
Compatibility
This Engine should works on any GB/ICS/JB (and I hope KK in future) roms of any devices

Not sure if there are any audio encoders available on android, but on my PC I use MediaCoder and just copy the video (takes about a minute or so). On my mac i use MP4 Converter.

That is definitely not normal, and I guess you somehow managed to reencode the video as well.

hi all sony lovers
sorry about if i have bad writing(im irani)
I found how to use time shift video on xperia z. some of the xda developers couldnt found how to implement T.V ON xperia z well Misunderstanding is not(خنگن) i open timeshift video and works on c6603 rom 5.1.1
neeeds=
super user mode\rooot\xposed framework/recovery twrp/odex&deodex

hit thanks if works
also i have take video with this app but i didnt upload
sorry for bad topic

it sounds great, but the link of the apk doesn't work

Link doesnt work, attach it to post or set to gdrive. Some people just doesnt like unknown upload sites
I see that you used libs from other forum, it would be nice if you add link to original topic.
Also having working app and having good results are two different things, so maybe you could post sample or at least post info from it(framerate, bitrate, res etc.)
As I said in other topic, technically XZ is capable to record 120fps videos. Oppo Find 5 have the same chip and camera sensor like XZ, and it record slomo videos, but Sony just didnt implement it, and none of Devs knew how to port this from oppo or fix it. Its just one of many Sony fails :]

link repaird sorry for late
and akinaro sony xperia z can record 60frame in slowmotion and this app recording 60frame

And that's why it not real time shift /slomo video.
Video should be recorded at minimum of 100fps to get good results.
At stock 60fps you can just record normal video and slow it down with any video app.
Later I'm gonna try this mod, but I don't expect anything special because of that limitation that sony made without a reason.
