30fps Video Record?

Is there a way or tweak to get the camera to record at VGA or WVGA @ 30fps? I have a 14 month old daughter and im constantly taking pics of her for the familly ect and noticed that when recording video the framerate is very laggy or slow motion like. The iphone 3gs records great video quality and the N1 has better specs so id assume higher frame rate on record is possible with the N1 also.
Any thoughts anyone?
Thx Guys!

People trip me out some time with there smart remarks.
If you like carrying around multi devices good for you. I have a stand alone camera that does video record ect but my camera is not ALLWAYS on me.
The same way the Nexus is good for multi media such as mp3 / and watching videos but I dont go buy a PSP or ipod touch for that I use my phone. The point of the high end phones these days is to try to limit carrying multi devices on you at all time.
With all the hacking / ports / tweaks going on just wanted to know if 30fps video record was possible. If you dont know how or dont know what im talking about please do reply with BS. Thanks.

i don't think he was in a bs kinda tone. hard to tell on forums
you'll thank yourself later for using a higher quality camera (dedicated camera) of any kind for videos one day. proud parent here, know whatcha mean about wanting to capture the cool 'new' moments.
now then, as far as recording, i'll bet there are settings you can change for it someday. right now the video quality is pretty darn good. just dumped a couple of videos from mine today. frame rate is quite good, picture clarity good, fps decent.
IF YOU FIND an app or way to up the settings, PLEASE update this thread in your original post.

Yeah, Im not trying to come off negative to anyone. I have a decent standalone camera that can take great pics and video a 10mpiexel cam with ful vga record. With phones tho its so MUCH MUCH MUCH more conveient to beable to snap a picture and have that picture allready able to send as MMS / Email / Up Load to facebook ect...
With the standalone camera I have to take mem card out - load to card reader - copy pics to mem card on my nexus - ect...
Just too many steps. When I had an iphone 3gs for a lmited time I was amazed at the video recording quality from a cell phone.
Now with the nexus with specs better then iphone I dont see why we cant get full 30fps at WVGA or VGA res. With 1ghz CPU and 5mpxl that should be possible right out the box. Seems like its definetly possible and im all for the ability to carry less devices.

it would be great if we could get 30 fps on the nexus. my under powered n97 does 30 fps and its video quality is a step up from my nexus for sure. kinda disappoints me that the video quality isn't just as good as my previous phones.

the moto droid (with lower specs) can do 30fps with some hacking... im sure its some setting in the rom that we can change
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hacks/19647-increase-camera-video-quality.html

HTC Desire with similar hardware does 30fps.
I don't know if it's HW or SW limitation, though. Did anyone try to record video on Desire ROM and can verify the actual fps?

Well, the Desire ROM allows for WGVA recording. I do not know about all the fps stuff, but I do know that I am recording in WGVA.

You should be able to by modifying the camera driver in the kernel and the build.prop. I'll look into this when I have the time, but I found the line that should control frame rate. A commit says that not all cameras are stable at 30fps, but how's that ever stopped us?

[Q] Video - Slow Motion quality

Question guys - to enable you to slow certain scenes in a video you need to select the slow motion video scene...fair enough.
Should this in turn reduce the quality of the video?
I could be wrong, but before I went to a custom ROM, I am fairly sure the video quality remained the same as normal. Now as soon as I record in slow motion, it reduces the quality.

hello there
yes it will reduce the quality ...
best regards

I noticed that too with mine. Horrible isn't it? You also get reduced quality with 60fps. You get verticals lines. I gave up and stuck to 30fps.

I also have this problem vertical line appear in indoor environment. However, customer service told me this will be fix in next update.

Slow Motion = Low Resolution
I saw that HTC video doing a slow motion video of a man doing fire/flame stunt. Actually I was amazed and got excited that I wanted to try that Slow motion on my own with something else like a sprinkler maybe.
So I found one at a park and as soon as I started shooting the video (slow motion video under video settings) WTH!!!! The resolution dropped to something like 768x432 and its a bite pixellated, not true HD (1080p) which I thought I'd expect just like from the HTC video... Yes you can trim/edit the video that's cool but I was hoping for 1080p HD quality
I hoped HTC would come with an update that can maximize its camera features up to 1080p resolution. oh well..

Well I guess is impossible because the Snapdragon 600 doesn't support the record of 1080p videos at 120fps :\

I'm on stock 4.2.2 and I've recorded this slow motion clip a week ago (don't forget to turn on HD when viewing it). The quality seems fine to me.

Yeah. The quality is awfull. The slow motion video from the the device with the man in the night eith fire from his mouth is years ahead bettrr than the ones we can record... But why HTC ?!
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

some info on this please?
hello guys. i'm sorry for this little derailing question but it was the only thread i found:
i'm currently digging into slo-mo available in latest phones.
i just saw some HTC ONE samples and i was very disappointed from the low resolution.
i was particularly impressed with the new Iphone 5S 120 FPS real 720P feature. it really looks 720 and not upscaled like the fake 720p NOTE 3 slo-mo. however i cannot use iphone anymore due to the small screen.
so from this thread i gather the faster frame limitation is by the processor itself? (snapdragon 600-800? what's the 720P limit?)
i am willing to wait until an Android phone will have a usable 720 slo-mo..
so what hardware could provide this? as i can see nowdays, the latest android phones cannot do it (not the NOTE 3 or the G2 which doesn't even have slo-mo to begin with).
my choice now are either wait for a phone that will (maybe the next HTC?), or wait till apple make a bigger phone (cannot stand the small screen).
your thoughts on this?
thanks.

Record with your nexus 5 in 3264x2448 (almost 4K)

Since the release of Lollipop Google introduced us new API for camera and that feature is really epic. Developer Chih Mao Chen made camera app for lollipop in which our phone nexus 5 is able to record in almost 4k resolution.
Download Android L camera app here:
https://github.com/PkmX/lcamera/blob/master/lcamera-debug.apk?raw=true
Note: all credits goes to developer who made this app, I'm only sharing this with you guys and sorry if this is already posted.

[QUOTE=Isus um there isn't anything there

Works fine for me.

Is the quality difference significant?

Low FPS for sure . and no it doesn't look that good .. Too much noise

For me its very crisp, sharp. I really love it, and it really surprises me that N5 camera can shoot 4K videos

This is a Duplicate thread!!
Below is the original. All discussions are ongoing there. It would be more helpful if all interested members can discuss there[emoji4]

It doesn't for me. It's probably the camera that worked fine on 4K but the snapdragon 800 SoC that couldnt handle 4k Probably.

Use manual exposure and it records 30 FPS for sure.
Also, Snapdragon 800 does support 4K, it's the camera that doesn't (3264x2448 is 8 MP, 4K is 3840 x 2160; not enough horizontal pixels).

But still it's pretty amazing resolution. Our **** camera just got better.

Slow Motion Video - 120fps or 210fps

Anyone know what if there's been any progress to getting this set up on our devices? This is literally the only thing I feel like it is missing. And I really don't understand why it is so hard to implement if the camera has the capability. Maybe Im missing something. Really wish one of the dev's here could get this set up for us all.
Thanks!

Really surprised no one else is really interested in slow mo video.

look in your app store, there are apps for slow motion recording, just not many. oh, and the devs here on xda, do things for free, no body pays them. if i were to make an app for slow motion video, id want to get oaid for it, i wouldnt do it for free. it actually would take wuite some personal time to make.

He means apps that shoot in 120-210fps. Not apps that shoot 30fps and cut that down to 15 or less and render the poor mans slow mo.
In regards to OP. No, not yet.

No camera on the planet can CAPTURE in slow motion. To do so would require travelling away from the scene being captured at insanely high rates of speed, specifically, to turn the capture speed down to 50% would require the capture device to travel away from the scene at HALF THE SPEED OF LIGHT!
ALL "slow motion" video is slowed down during PLAYBACK. It is done by rendering the frames at a rate lower than they were captured. Now naturally, the higher the rate they were captured at, the more smooth the playback will appear once they are rendered at a lower rate, but the actual function is identical.

This would require the camera to be able to capture video at 120-210 FPS... which ain't happening.

uhmmm the N5 camera was able to do 120fps and so is my old s4, the camera in the n6 is perfectly capable of it hardware wise.

+1 for looking for slow motion
Well, as allready said this will not come until Google implements it or something magical happens
This is the closest I've found:
https://github.com/PkmX/lcamera/issues/153
Seems it theoretically could be possible to do the same hack as on nexus 5 for higher framerate videorecording. So keep the hope alive! I think i might reconsider going for nexus the next time around if google keep on skipping this... Oh well.
Lcamera - linked above is the best camera for now for taking really low light photos at least. I can take pictures at half a second exposure :good:
So here's hoping 120fps for the n6 will show up too

stabilzation in 1080 60 fps

Hi, has stabilization for 1080p 60 fps video been added or at least improved in latest updates. Who can confirm this ????

Never come OIS on 60 fps maybe!!! maybe eis possibble.but yet no

Saw this sample on youtube
It shows a well stabilized 60fps FHD video from the p20 pro.
Can anyone (having the latest soft update) test 60 fps FHD video Stabilization to figure out that

Well you can see some ghosting but it does a decent job
Google photos can also stabilise videos.
But you just can't beat OIS

They can add a form of EIS but it'll never be brilliant, it's one of the reasons I wanted a new phone, the OnePlus 5 only had EIS, it's just not good enough.
With the pro though, 800 quid and no OIS throughout? Terrible to be honest.

Anyone has a credible explanation as to why OIS is not present at 1080 60? I can understand it not being available in higher resolutions but really at 1080 60, on a flagship with is marketed as (and by many agreed to be) the best camera phone of the market it's just not acceptable. Found out while waiting for my order to ship and am pretty pi$$ed.
Can we at least hope it will be added with a sw update in the future or it's not possible technically? Is the P20Pro sensor's OIS somehow bound to the 30fps?

P20 pro never had ois on its main camera, the rgb and mono. It only has ois on the telephoto 8mp lens to assist with too much vibration while zooming. The 1080p 30fps only uses eis/ais.

1080p @30fps has to be OIS??
I've been at the absolute maximum zoom limit whilst recording and the stabilization is amazing, if that's EIS then it's incredible and a lot better than any OIS i've ever seen on any device, I would say at 1080p 30fps it has OIS unless as i said it's got the best implementation of EIS i've ever seen.
Also @ the OP.
OIS by all accounts is available in the cameras on a hardware level but it's not been implemented, i read this a while ago about the p20 pro, whether or not they'll have this as a feature at some point I don't know, it wouldn't be unlike Huawei to add features but not make them active.

I read somewhere that the rgb and mono hardware moving is for autofocus not ois. It's ais (ai stabilizer) that making the recording good at stabilizing.
Oh not to mention xperia's steady shot is EIS and not OIS and it's pretty good.

So, if it's all digital, does it make even more sense to expect it being available in the future on resolutions greater than 1080 30? I mean at least 1080 60 should be standard in 2018 flagships!

I bought a gimbal for $90... Im hoping this would do the trick for 4k stabilization...

My thoughts exactly. I am one click away form ordering the Zhiyun Smooth Q. Then again I know the AIS on the P20 Pro works superbly so I can maybe limit my videos to 1080 30? Decisions decisions...

Yes it's AIS. And Sony uses the same excellent stabilisation. Better than OIS hands down. I had Sony phone before. Just a shame that Huawei didn't implement it at 4k and at 60fps.

Yea it's absolutely amazing. Never seen anything like it..

yeah EIS is good.. but it crops the image too much. I prefer OIS

So sad you’ll had to buy an stabilizer device.... having the most powerfull mobile in photos of 2018.... I have my iPhone 7 Plus with FHD/60fps with stabilization in fact.... better videos with a mobile of 2016...
