[ROOT] 60fps 1080p video recording + Highest photo quality mod - LG G5 Themes, Apps, and Mods

For Android N, go to this page:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/themes/root-image-quality-video-bitrate-t3553614
Hi everyone,
Coming from a rooted and modded G2 , It was weird for me not to have 60fps video recordings as I mainly used 60fps before.
This weekend I took it upon myself to find a solution for it.
The good news:
It works, we have FHD 60fps video recording.
The bad news:
It comes with a tiny limitation - I couldn't make the wide angle camera to work with 60fps.
What does it mean?
1. Even if FHD60fps mode is chosen, wide angle will only record in 30fps.
2. If you will start recording a video using the main 16MP camera on 60fps, and during this recording you will change to the wide angle lens, from the moment you change to the wide angle the recording will use 30fps (even if you go back to the main lens after).

Note:
-I own an H850 European variant. As far as I know, it should't make any difference as long as you are rooted.
Update: Tested also on H830 (Thanks lordodin912).
I've tested the "60fps camera mod + 64Mbit UHD" and the "Restore original" zip files. "60fps camera mod" should be identical but I haven't tested it yet.
-If you encounter pink screen when HDR is on, xbenjiiman updated us that 10d fixed the issue for him. Thanks.
Important:
-If you encounter hiccuping in the video (and you probably will), turn off "steady" in the camera settings. You should see "OIS" icon instead. The hiccuping should be gone and you can enjoy smooth 60fps.
Warning:
As always, backup your device before. Just in case.
I am not responsible for any damage to your phone from using this mod.
That's it, enjoy 60fps!

Instructions:
-Make a backup //recommended, not a must.
-Flash the zip file in TWRP.
*No need to delete cache \ dalvik etc..
If for some reason you're having any issues with the camera, first try to delete the camera app data in the phone's settings.
*Thanks for @Pfeffernuss for pointing me to the right direction :good:
I'm here if you need help,

Great work! :good:

Niceeee!!!

Not sure about "many" optimizations but it includes all the optimizations I know: 100% photo quality , higher bitrate, 60fps.
Keep in mind, disable "steady" (so the icon will show "OIS") setting when recording 60fps to avoid glitches.

Yeah but it's pretty stupid to have a second app for one recording mode + you can't access the wide angle lens from there (I'm assuming).

OK then now you don't need a second app for that. In addition, you get better photo quality for photos and higher bitrate for video. Your choice of course.

It seems that the wide lens hardware is not capable of 60 fps recording. I tried put the 60 fps profile in video_sub_rear_supported in camera_config.xml, it let et me choose the FHD60 in camera setting, but it just record at 30 fps

I get some weird pink screen if I leave HDR on whilst recording.

I can confirm pink screen with HDR on FHD60. Couldn't reproduce it though...after the first time it seems to have gone away. H830 btw.
Here's a pic of what it looked like.

Just in case, try deleting the camera data + cache (from the phone's settings under Apps).

Yes sir
Working on PA 4.45
It's not the same as OPPOs Super Zoom, the file size is actually decreased and the resolution is decreased. However noise seems to be reduced.
Auto
Clear Image
Is there a setting for Clear Image (as I can't find one) or does it take better pics automatically?
I did some small tests and I wasn't impressed, as mentioned above, file size is actually smaller than a normal picture.
I'd imagine selecting ISO100 in settings could yield better results. (During the day)
How can you tell if clear image is enabled or is it always on a as I don't see it anywhere in any options.

Press the little wand icon and enable it as a picture mode. Then swipe through the list on the viewfinder to get to it.
Edit: Further testing seems to show that all 'Clear Image' does is reduce image noise at the cost of a small bit of resolution. So it is rather aptly named, however this may also result better low light pictures. As shown below, taken under a desk.

in the opposite, i think that your photos demonstrate great results as the noise almost dissapeared
which is outstanding for any mobile camera

I said noise is reduced, so our statements agree. However you have to factor in that this takes about 3.5 seconds to take a picture, but yes the pictures are impressive.
I appreciate the new mode for clearer images, I was hoping for something closer to OPPO's camera that creates a higher resolution image from multiple pictures or Sony's superior auto mode that over samples pictures to create one image

I just noticed that with the new Clear Image mode, all shots appear to be 4:3 even when my camera is set to 16:9 (9.7)
Is this just my imagination?

I am running it now, on a Oppo Find 7a with the latest CM nightly on it and it runs very fine, just like the previous version ..... BUT ...
I can not find the "clear image" mode in my list .... Between which modes is it ? I have 29 modes (auto,HDR,Smart scene etc ..
(and the stock camera app on the Oppo can do those High res pictures. )
How many modes do you have ?
Thanks, Sparcky
Hi,
Running crDroid v4, installed the apk and can only work for a few shots and it will revert back to stock CM11 camera. I even disable the stock cam and clear cache and data, problem still persist. AND, there's no Magic Wand to change settings to 'Clear Image'.

Check the aspect ratio. It does take 16:9 shots, just not in the new mode.

I switched to video mode, recorded a few seconds of video and switched back to photo mode. The rear camera should work, but not the front camera for me, still.
Edit: I tried again and it doesn't work, but will if you repeat the above process after clearing the app data.
if you switch to lens blur mode and then switch to front camera, you can take pictures. it would be great if front camera is fixed. this mod is great.

Has anyone got the white balance figures right for the pro? The ones listed are far too red, have reduced the red down to 90% which is a lot better but whites arent white - far too much yellow. Have tried various settings but cant get it perfect
Ok so i adjusted settings in the office, got the white where i wanted it. Went out for a walk and took a few pics comparing. Unfortunately there's still far too much blue once outside (didn't notice it under inside lights), this was with the minimum selectable at 60.

I dont think it looks too bad, the stock cam hdr is complete crap you shouldnt use it lol it looks so unnatural. I think it is colder (more blue, like taken through sunglasses) but it still looks somewhat natural. especially not oversharpened like stock cam...

Awesome man! Thank you for posting. I'll give it a try today.
Is there a reason none of the gcams so far have working slow motion video? I find it hard to believe that the hardware on this phone is incapable of slow motion... And this version removes the option all together...anyone know why? Can we get a working version with slow motion? I really miss that feature. Found it VERY handy when troubleshooting fast moving machinery at work.

On the MGC_6.1.021_RazerPhone2_V1a version, if I use the double-click side button shortcut to start Gcam, normal camera mode does not save images after capturing them. Switching camera mode works around this issue, but is inconvenient.
If I start Gcam normally from the app drawer, the camera mode saves images as usual.
Can you reproduce this issue?

Abousltely beast. Salute my man.

Aux lens has less light sensitivity, it has no stabilization, so it makes the photo under any conditions worse than the main lens. aux lens is not needed ...
Any way to get this updated with the 60fps video recording?
So I downloaded and installed the new version today. The camera is much, much faster, but it crashes every time I try to take a video. Is there some combination of settings causing this?
Edit: I changed the interface style (in the mod menu) from Pixel III to Pixel II, and video now works! However there is now a bright flash at the beginning of the video that is actually captured in the footage.
For android 9.0 need to do it all over again. It will take some time.

I don’t know yet ... There will definitely be tracking focus in video mode (example: https://drive.google.com/open?id=10AGDx3aDS0Bue7lv1Ql1eMw4DEhQr21h) and there will definitely not be slow-mo, since the CONTROL_AE_AVAILABLE_TARGET_FPS_RANGES key will give a maximum of 30 fps for Android 9.0, and for slow-mo need 120fps.

Either way, without your work I'd have returned the phone the day after I bought it. So thanks again!
Would love a Pie version as well. Just ordered the phone with the price drop and camera is one thing that's lacking
Hopefully there is continued development. I just bought my wife this phone coming from the s8+. Can you add a TIMELAPSE option? She used that a lot. Thanks.

Update (Image grain improved): Gcam with ULTRA WIDE and TELEPHOTO support it's here!

Last Wichaya Gcam support auxiliar lens without root in some devices. After trying on my G8 power I could say work really well with macro and ultra wide lenses. You only need to download the APK, install and activate it on advanced settings. I don't know why in telephoto mode use the ultra wide instead, but works well, so it's ok for me, for 2x zoom you got hi res zoom incorporated on any Gcam. When you change to any different lens the app was rebooted and can't do this if a image it's processing.
XML settings supported too.

Update: video mode works with macro and wide angle too, but don't expect stability when wide angle it's enabled. You need to change lens mode before.
Update: The new Wichaya Gcam Update now allows you to manually change the ID of the secondary lenses, so it is now possible to enable the Telephoto lens on our G8 Power (Disabling Macro), also the lens shift buttons work properly (0.6x for Ultra wide, 2x for Telephoto). To do this you can do it manually or using my XML settings file which has all the necessary configurations to work both the telephoto and the ultra wide angle, plus it's configured by me to achieve a better picture with each of the lenses.
Camera comparation
You can see Here a comparation between Stock camera and Wichaya's Gcam with my settings.
It's cool that finally we can use the additional cameras with the Google Cam app. I see much more noise (although better detail too) compared to the default Moto app and the Parrot ROM. Did you have any success in that regard?

Have you seen my photo comparison? After changed one by one the settings of the three lens the results are clearly superior in every way. If you are using my XML go to settings and enable the lib patcher, cause it's this that correct and apply the changes what i mention and don't it's auto enabled when charge the XML.
Update
Added 2 more photos to the Photo Comparation Album showing how the 4X Zoom works (Telephoto + Gcam's 2X Super Res Zoom)
I agree with the noise comments. The Wichaya camera has WAAAAY more noise then Parrot and Stock. I loaded the g8p-by-mikael1013.xml XML, and took a picture, and compared it to PARROT, and STOCK. Below are the results.

FYI - Arnova's GCAM allows you to do the same thing, but this one allows you to use ALL lenses. Wide, Main, Macro, Tele. Arnova's GCAM allows you to switch between lenses so much faster, without the annoying camera restarts. The only problem.. is that in VIDEO mode, there doesn't seem to be any software stabilization.

Thread updated with another Gcam port with better noise treatment
Following users opinions about the grain treatment by Wichaya's Gcam I looked for better options with same multiple lens support, that's how I found Nikita Gcam. This Gcam allows to change between lens with better response, better grain treatment, lib patcher and custom libs. If you want to try my personalized settings use this XML File who it's tuned for better color and detailed photos.

This is a good one also... only problem... video stabilization for Video is not working.
Wide angle lense is also very grainy compared to stock. But after going through 15 different gcam ports... every other one is the same.
Main lens in this port looks very good!
Try changing lenses while a picture is processes. The HDR message stays on the screen and won't go away. Even when exiting out of the cam.

I spent quite some time trying to tame the wide angle lens noise. Still the stock camera beats it . BTW there is a new version from Nikita but it doesn't seem to improve the grain or the lack of video stabilization.

I need to try this new version that you said, maybe have any new option to improve the grain on wide angle.

Sorry guys. Maybe I miss something. Does this app support Moto G Power (sofia)? I checked the link and found it's not on the list.

The versions listed here do work with the sofia even if it is not listed on their website.
The latest version of Nikita GCam works but the only version of Wichaya's GCam that works with my phone is the 2.5 version listed here. The newer versions of Wichaya's crash and close when I try to switch lenses.

Green artifacts in camera recording

Hey guys,
I've got a problem with my camera. When I record with either the front facing or rear facing camera I get a load of green artifacts that get pissed all over the image as shown below:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I've tried clearing data and cache from the camera app and that didn't work.
The recording looked fine on snapchat and messenger though, which confused me. I assumed this is because of the resolution the apps record in and so I've checked what resolutions I get the artifacts in.
Front camera looks fine at 720p and 1440p, but gets mad artifacts at 1080p.
Rear camera gets artifacts at 1080p (30 and 60fps), 30fps 1440p and 30fps 4k.
At 720p 30fps and 4k 60fps everything looks fine. Also, with the resolutions above the preview as I record gets all stuttery and seems unstable too.
I thought it might be a hardware fault with the rear camera, but the front camera has the same issue. Do they share something that could break both of them? Or is this some weird software glitch?
Thanks for any answers.

Sounds like a software related issue with the stock camera app.
Can you flash another firmware version. Hopefully an update is available for your device.

Thank you for your suggestion. I've re-flashed the phone (clean install using this guide) and the issue still persists - but it's nowhere near as bad as it was. I'll get a green flicker every couple of seconds rather than have a full-on simulation of the matrix. Seems like software had something to do with it, but there's something else afoot.
Edit: Seems to have gotten worse over more tests, I don't actually have a clue anymore.
