[Request][Mod][longer 4k recording time z3/z3c] - Xperia Z Themes and Apps

Hi everyone,
I am hoping someone can help in this request,
On Z2 there was a mod to disable sony camera thermal so that we could ideally with lower frequencies, etc record longer 4K HD video aswell as 1080p video, someone reported 30+ minutes on 4K HD recording time.
My research has shown me that thermal shuts down camera at 73-74 degrees, even if you disabled thermal and enabled intellithermal,
Basically i think i speak for many, we want longer recording times, and our Z3 can handle temps higher than 73 (i am not however implying its healthy, i just think some of us want the choice)
Anyone know how to adapt this? I tried decompiling the apk of the camera already and came short, even setting the action of thermal to none didnt stop it from shutting down.
While many have suggested to disable overheat protection to achieve it, i dont want to send my Z3 into a blistering mold, just a way to sort of up this threshold a bit to give us longer times.
Any help is appreciated, our Z3 would be legendary if we could break this limit thank you.
P.S, @Rajeev, @niaboc79, @AndroPlus, any ideas?

full VGA recording @30fps? pls read it.

Guys i just want to know that is there any app or patch by which we can get full vga recording @25 or 30 fps.
OR
Is there any experts who can make or is working for the camera patch to get full VGA @25 or 30fps recording.
OR
anyother way to get it itself in diamond.
Pls reply and let me know if there is anything related to increase camera efficiency cause i am too much stressed because of the recording is not perfect in such a high priced phone and many of my friends got less priced phone and they are more than 2mp camera and takes good photos and good recording as camera is faster, no spooky effect, etc even though resolution is not so good still its fast fps recording and i didn't know that diamond will not be able to record and battery drainer and spooky camera recording at only 15fps.
But there is one thing the camera is totally light dependent cause in very good light or sunlight it gives no spooky effect and i recorded clips in 24.0 fps even though in half vga resolution but still good pics and vids.
So why diamond dont have camera like nokia which is better even thought the resolution is low?
Pls can somebody help or can somebody assure me that in future maybe after 5 to 6 months there will def an app or patch for it?
Sorry mods but i am replying my own thread so it goes up and some expert will read it and help out.
Nobody is interested to even read or reply in this topic.
Pls read as i know for many diamond users are suffering little like me and the phone is amazing and even camera is good but only full vga with good fps will be much better so that all buyers of diamond become by seeing app or patch to improve recording
You will most likely have to wait until someone ports the Diamond2's camera app, since the new phone supports VGA recording. However, you may still have an issue if the Diamond itself doesn't support VGA recording.
I've always wanted to see better video recording on the Diamond. I thought the reason it was limited was because the phone simply wasn't fast enough to be able to sustain a decent frame rate for VGA recording (due to the fact that on my old Touch, a rapidly changing view seemed to significantly reduce the frame rate), but the Diamond2's hardware is similar, so perhaps it's a limitation related to the camera.
in my old p3600 it can record video 15 fps in dark
but my diamond only 4 , 6 fps in dark ?!
also my friend touch daul only 4 to 6 fps
the recording in all touch series is just crap in dark

Is there not possible to record at 60 fps?

Is there no way for our phone to record something at 60 fps, even at 720p?
It's technically very possible, as the hardware supports and required libraries are there. I'm now hoping on the undergoing MIUI 9 as the product manager promises on significant upgrade in camera department. Many have asked for this feature, so I hope they really consider it.

Choppy video.

For some reason I get some kind of severe lag when recording video, especially noticable during camera movements but it's there all the time. You also hear the chops in the sound. The problem is worst in 1080p, it's a bit better in 4k. 1080 gets the choppy lags in all 3rd party apps I've tried as well as in the stock app, very frustrating. Changing the bitrate doesn't seem to affect this issue much, it's doesn't get less choppy at lower or higher bitrates (in Open Camera).
Video stabilization and noise reduction and stuff like that is turned off across the board as far as it's possible since I use a gimbal and do all processing in post. And yes the video is choppy with or without the gimbal, it makes no difference for that.
At first I thought it had to to with bad support for the 3rd party apps I use but then I realized the problem is just as bad or worse in the Huawei photo app, which of course produces bad video quality in the first place but that's another issue.
Recording in slow motion on the other hand works fine, cranking up the bitrate to the max and recording in 120fps in open camera with manual focus produces the best slo-mo quality 1080 footage I've seen a phone do so far. So I know for a fact that the phone can produce good quality 1080p footage, I just can't make it work with normal frame rates for some reason.
Anyone else had this problem? Is my phone simply malfunctioning or did I do something wrong? I'm on the 131 firmware version, firmware finder also lists the 131a as compatible, could that solve the issue?
Any help appreciated.

I have this issue in 60fps
When I revert back to full stock it's fluid and works as expected.
Once I've rooted and installed twrp etc plus a few apps it starts to get laggy, I don't use 4K so don't care..30fps 1080p is what I use most and it's perfect..just annoying that 60fps doesn't work as it should..really annoying.
At total stock it should be fine.
I also use a magisk module called swap torpedo which eliminates the use of a swap file, not sure if that matters or not.
Also I've seen this issue present on all firmwares
In which app do u have this issue?

All apps including Huaweis own.
I've contacted support and they say they'll try to find out what the problem is with my choppy 1080 video.
Obviously that doesn't adress the absurdly low bitrate limits and lack of support for advanced functions in 3rd party apps, which are simply limitations of the p20 pro for now, they said they are aware of those issues as well and looking to fix them.

Ok so may have a fix for this.
I'd previously changed device resolution to HD from FHD changing this back fixes 60fps video, it makes sense that it would offer the same for the other issues you've been having.
Check it out its under Display.
About the laggy video, I just looked into this issue and found something really interesting. When choosing full HD resolution and shooting a video, I find it laggy. But when choosing FHD+ 2160 x 1080 p, the video is amazingly smooth. I suspect that when you choose FHD, the phone is doing some downsampling which causes a huge load on the CPU and makes it laggy while FHD+ does not cause such a big downsampling, because of the 2160 width, which is the native 4k height. Maybe someone who knows more can confirm if what I'm saying is actually true. The kirin 970 does not seem capable of proper processing power like it is advertised.
I have te same issue. FHD 30fps is horribly stuttering, while FHD 60fps or 4K are ok. Do someone found a solution to this? It's incredible that the most powerful and advanced camera phone at the moment have this flaw!

Hey, did anyone find another fix for this? I changed my screen resolution and it makes no difference, still getting laggy and choppy video.
Hi guys,
I have just recorded wedding speeches and the video is choppy as hell at 60fps. The audio is fine but video isn't. Any way I can salvage the clips?
Thanks in advance

4k 60fps camera flickering.

I've had the phone for a few days now and overall I'm very pleased with it yet I have one issue. The camera when recording at 60fps at any resolution has crazy flicker. I can record at any resolution at 30fps and it's fine.
I've tried other camera apps on the store but none seem to be able to record at 60fps, open camera for example, won't record at 60fps even when I set it, just records at 30fps.
I'm using the latest eu rom with included camera.
Would appreciate some help, thanks.
Might be an issue with the sensor on your phone. I don't have any flicker with any setting at 4K 60fps.

I just tested my camera - it has no flickering with [email protected]
Whatever modifications that you have made to your phone must be responsible.

I think you're probably correct. Tried it again today and it's working beautifully, I've made no changes or installed anything since yesterday.
Only setting I've disabled since testing was deep process clean, re enabled this to test and it's still working.
Hopefully it will remain working, hard to go back to 30fps video after seeing 4k 60fps.
Ok, so I'm able to replicate the problem.
It's a certain light bulb in my living room that's causing this, it's a 72led corn cob low wattage bulb. Only occurs in low natural light.
Went all through the house at night with the lights on as well as the front and rear gardens and no flicker, only occurs if I have that specific light turned on during the evening in my living room, how odd!
To the naked eye this bulb does not flicker but for some reason makes the phone camera go nuts.
I'll have to check the Hz rating of the bulb.

Manual camera controls on WW?

I just joined up since this is one of the more active places for ROG Phone 2 info. Can anyone give me the low down on what manual controls are available in the stock camera app (for the global variant, in case there's a difference)? I'm especially interested in the maximum shutter time, if focus peaking is available, and if there's any microphone settings for video.
I do a lot of long exposure photos and occasionally go to the local drag strip to video jet cars. My LG V20 is one of the best phones for that stuff, so I'm trying to get an idea of how this would stack up against it.
Is this what you're looking for?

Yes, good to see that 32 sec max shutter!
Can it do manual video controls as well?
Something else I forgot to ask was about the resolution/pixel binning. Can you switch between 48MP and 12MP at will? I know some manufacturers force things like that depending on lighting conditions. Samsung and LG don't let you use the telephoto lens in dim light, even if that's what you want, hence my reason for asking.
You can switch. The 48mp picture takes a bit longer to take though so be careful as you'll end up moving the phone before the picture is done.
No video controls that I can see.
