[Q] How to fix video recording in CyanogenMOD - LG Optimus 4X HD

Hello, I have CyanogenMOD nightlies on my 4X. It is totally no problem to fast take great pictures using Camera ZOOM FX, but I can't find some solution for video recording. The Cyanogen camera app is horrible and doesn't work at all. Pictures cannot be taken it freezes itself and video is in horrible quality even if FHD is selected. I tried a lot of stuff from Google Play, but it is not worth doing it. Is there any way to use original LG camera app in CMOD? Thanks alot!
There is a sample video recorded in HD, as you can see it is pretty laggy and sh*t quality.
Add this after youtube link to see video (without quotes) "/watch?v=Z5sHLFwLGBA"

[APP] Recording video at resolution 640.480 for galaxy mini.

ok first this it not my work.
thanks to RubberBigPepper for his great work. for download link, go to original thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1677645
but the thing i want to share here, it is very simple, but its VERY GREAT.
this camera help us to recording video at resolution 640.480 most camera app, from stock camera to apps from store, or porting..only can record at max res 320.240
but with this camera app, we can really record at 640.480
for this, just install camera normally.then go to camcoder, setting:
scene mode: action
video resolution: 640.480 (higher is not supported)
video encoder: mpeg4
video file format: mpeg4
video bitrate:5Mbit
other is default.then exit apps. open it again (u need to do it because it still in beta and have bug)
now u can record, then open in your computer.u can see, resolution it 640.480, video it much more better and detail
the only problem is framerate only 10, while with stock we have 15.but i think because this does not have right config for mini (same as miui camera.it only can record at res 320.240 with framerate 10 )
notice, this app still in dev so it may have bugs.but the important thing i want to share you and hope devs hack it, its that our mini can record video at higher resolution, and if anyone can make the framerate more than 15, this would be very great
devs, please looking for this!
Very Good
Has many options for camera and camcorder!

Already knew that...
But I can record at 30 fps
so what is negative effect from "framerate only 10" ?
I don't understand about resolution, or fps etc
can someone give an explanation?

No replies??

[Q] Record 1080p video with 4.2.2 or 4.3?

Hey Gang,
Are there any ROM's out for the Droid Bionic that actually have a reliably working video camera that will record 1080p?
I have tried every current ROM to date (4.2.2 & 4.3) and not had any luck recording 1080p video with any camera app.
I am only able to get 1080p video recordings with 4.1.2 ROMs and under.
I have tried LGcamera and can only get 1280x720 video at best.
Am I overlooking a good 3rd party camera app that has this functionality?
(also, I searched so don't beat me up about it )
Same Search

I've tried about 8 different cameras using the same ROM with the same results, none will record in 1080 although the 720 looks ok for most situations that I need.

Video quality of posts in Facebook and Instagram

Hi,
Did anyone else has problems with pixelated video in social networks (fb, insta). And i'm not talking about my uploads... Every video i see has this issue. I'll try to get a screenshot or video edit of this also.
Same for me, only vidéos but all apps: Twitter Facebook and Instagram..
I've just bought my Huawei P20 Pro and video quality in facebook, instagram, even some youtube videos is really bad, pixelated. I compare to my iPhone 6 which I still have it and it is a 4 years older phone which runs them perfect on a smaller screen. There must be some trick with the resolution that Huawei must fix! Any info to share?
Bad audio and visual
This is the same for me. The quality of the sound is bad as well. I think someone said on here that Snapchat doesnt use the camera on android but "screen records" the video thats on the screen or something, But the sound should be good.
It is so bad its like using a camera from 20 years ago
Same Here, Any Fix for This?
I have the same issue, can anyone direct me to any link that could help me solve this? Thank you!
Have you downsized screen resolution or set it to automatic?
Settings - Display - Screen Resolution.

No, it is just the way the app is on android I am afraid. I have learned to take the video using the camera app then later post to Instagram
It's a shame this, something needs to be done. Surely 2018 Android can take good quality videos using Instagram and snapchat

My gf cant post videos made outside of Instagram, on her Iphone. Instagram just closes.
So maybe Instagram is the one to blame.
For me, I recorded a video in 4K resolution with H265 audio codec. I uploaded to Youtube and wait for a while, YouTube process the video in 1080p 60fps. OK, not bad. But when I uploaded it to FB, FB downsized it to 720p 30fps. That is terrible. It's not the problem with the phone. My LG V20 also have similar experience. It's the Youtube, FB and Instagram to be blamed for downsizing the video files for easier upload.

No, I can play 4K vids from Youtube quite sharply.

Youtube uploads in 480p only

Hello,
I have noticed when I use the youtube app to upload videos, the video quality changes to 480p whenever the video is uploaded. I have tried setting the camera app to 1080p 60fps and UHD and changing the settings for upload quality in the youtube app, neither helped. This happens when uploading on either wifi or mobile data. Anyone knows whats going on?
Thanks
The issue you're having is solved in the YouTube app. Click on your profile picture in the top right hand corner then the settings option, next choose general and then upload quality. Choose original and what ever resolution you recorded in will be how it is uploaded. Hope this helps mate

i have tried that, it doesn't solve the issue
It is definitely related to the youtube app. No idea how to fix it. What I have noticed is when I watch an uploaded video using any mobile device via youtube app, then the video is in 480p quality, but if i use my PC to watch it, then the video is in the original quality that it was recorded in. Whats going on here?
Same problem
I have same problem. But video quality is 480p even on computer. I uploaded one video more than week ago and it is ok. Three more videos in last 3 days show only in 480p. Backup to google photos is in 1080p.
So problem is only with videos in portrait mode. In landscape it is uploaded in 1080p. I try upload same video to vimeo and it shows 1080p on PC, but quality in android app is lower (i don't see in app setting button to change it).

Instagram Stories videos low framerate?

Is anyone facing problems with Stories videos? Whenever I try to upload a video, from my gallery, the video lags SO MUCH...
And if I try to record a video directly in Instagram app, the video lags EVEN MORE.
The experience with this social network, in a whole, is a little bit crappy, with the Mi A2...
It's so sad, because I really love this phone, specially the camera.
Well, is anyone facing the same problem? Is there any fix?
Thanks in advance! <3
Same problem, only with GBintsa stories work fine
Same problem, but only video story.
I also have this issue and always had it with every Android smartphone I ever owned. I investigated a bit on the internet and read somewhere that Instagram handles the Android camera API in a ****ty way. I'm no expert but seemingly the difference is that iPhone always uses the same API or just some different version because there are not many models on Android however there are probably more than 1000 different camera APIs because there is a much bigger variety of models. In short: Instagram on Android is not very well optimized.
I had the same issue with my MI A2 i fixed it buy installing a previous version of the instagram app I had the go like 10 vesrion before to get it right though and i lost the gif feature in messages but let's hope the update wont have the same problem.
Instagram beta works fine for me
Edit: NO IT'S NOT!!
Also recording from stock camera app in 1080p 60fps and then posting as story is fine
I also had this kind of issue, which is also present in older device like Redmi Note 4 in MIUI. I don't know what make its bugged tho

You have to think that you don't have an iphone, and you don't record smooth video on instagram app. Record on camera app and share it on your story.
Also photos you sent on instagram are in very tiny resolution (dm)

Yes I know...
I think this is a decoder related thing.. because screenshots look bad, but photos taken from camera looks good. Any video other than 1080p 60 fps from stock camera looks stuttering; but it also has very bad sound quality... That's really fuktup xiaomi..
sound program

The problem with the sound program will solve Cinema FV-5.
Go to the sound settings and put a tick on the Disable Audio Automatic gain Control (AGC). The sound starts being processed by the application's algorithms.

Instagram stories are smooth on my mi a2 running android P with the latest instagram update. Last time i was on android 8.1, the latest version of instagram has the choppy stories problem. Try updating to android P.
It's been months and still my stories are 15 fps.... what a joke...
This crap needs to get fixed. No matter which account I the video is choppy/laggy. If i shoot video inside the app the review looks good. once it uploads it's laggy. If I save the video to my phone... it's choppy. If i have a video already on my phone and I upload it to stories to the normal feed... it's choppy AF.
I'm on 8.1 oreo with RAW enabled. This suuuucks
Can someone confirm that the videos are better or smoother in Android P?

YESS this also happened to me, im using redmi note 5 rn and the current rom is in miui 10 global stable
The solution is to install the older version of instagram. I'm from Brazil and I found this solution, if you want to solve it and see everything fast again use this version here: 51.0.0.20.85
Search google to download ...
Do not upgrade to the newer version, if it does not come back all over again.
Guys! I found the solution!! Try to use the
H.265/HEVC codec.
