[Q] Hack/Mod Sense Camera Slow Motion Quality

Hi!
Has anybody came across some mods/tweak, where as the HTC One's stock camera (Sense) can be modified- e.g.
remain at the same 96 fps but higher resolution (720p for example) or increase the fps to 120.
As far as I know, the Snapdragon 600 should be capable of this, hence my 6 year old KU990 was able to do QVGA 120 fps on a 140mhz 1 core ARM CPU
Thanks.

Hmm, not even a not possible reply?

Most probably depends on the kernel. Anw the stock camera is able to film 60fps with 720p. How do u modify it to 96fps 0.0

If you choose Slow Motion in video settings - it records slow motion at 96 fps, but low quality for a FullHD screen...
That is why I am asking if it is possible to modify it

That depends on the kernel, and of cource the camera app. For now I think it's impossible. The resolution of slow mo mode is really low..

Yes, probably need a 4.3 kernel source released.

Mi8/8SE only having 4k 30fps? Hack to unlock?

I wonder if those specs are true. Seems underwhelming to me if those specs were to be true.
Currently I use a Xiaomi Mi5s which (after a mod) shoots FullHD at 60fps. I expected a nex gen phone to have at least 4k 60fps.
Anyway, I know it is way to soon to know for sure, but does anyone have some hopes to mod the Mi8\SE the way to make it shoot at 60fps in 4k?
Thanks for any ideas.
PS: Is it true the Mi8\SE doesnt feature optical stabilization?

What you expect for a 240€ device? OIS with 4K @60fps? The Mi8 SE is nothing in compare to the Mi8. Forget UFS, OIS, dual GPS and so on.

I was asking if the MI8 had 4k 60fps or optical stabilization (maybe with the option to lower the frames to film 4k 30 to still have optical stabilization).
So, I rephrase my question:
1. Does the Mi8 have 4k 60fps? Some sites say yes, some say 4k 30fps.
2. Does the Mi8 have Optical Stabilization at all?
3. Does the Mi8 SE have the same camera/video specs (e.g. optical stabilization, etc.)?
I already own my Mi5s which can shoot 4k at 30fps.... -_-

The problem with 4k @60fps is you can just record few min. and the device get super hot.

But other devices can do it. Sure they cost a bit more, but that's what Mi-Devices are known for...to be outstanding. Oh well...have to wait for Mi9 or something...
I wonder if those 60fps can be unlocked somehow...i guess we have to wait for the xda devs to check out the device when released.
PS: Wait, FullHD at 30fps on the Mi8? That's a joke right?

The S845 support [email protected] and for sure you will get this option, maybe directly from Xiaomi.

You should be able to do it. Either by modifying just the media profile of the device or by modding the camera sensor libraries. However, modding libraries isn't an easy task but it's technically possible to do so if the sensor has the capabilities. If the device has a good and skilled developer community then someone will do it eventually. Also FYI, OP6 is the only new Android phone that can record at 4K on a stable 60 FPS and that's also with a 5 minute limitation. You're expecting too much bud.

Thanks for replying. Yes, there are 2 websites online who proclaim Mi8 SE having 4k 60fps, but 95% of the web/youtube reviews say it has only 30fps. That's why I was asking, because some websites either don't know about their topic or are blatantly lying.
Does anyone know if the SE (now that the source code has been released) could be modded for 4k 60fps?

60fps recording support is only added on the latest miui10 for some devices, i think we will have to wait a bit more for updated reviews. I'm more interested in the gps for the mi 8SE since it's now selling in my country for a little bit more than the price of mi 6x.

It`s a little shame that phone made in 2018 can`t record 4k 60fps while my old S4+ with SnapDragon 800 (GT-i9506) from sept 2013 can record 4k 30 fps and 4k 20 fps also with default camera app. I ordered Mi 8 from China and phone should be here in few days.

why did u buy it?

4k 60fps is too demanding for any Snapdragon processor at the moment unfortunately

The S9 and OP6 can do 4k60 although short recording time

Yeah I meant for prolonged amount of times the way you can with 1080p, I think some OEM's think it isn't worth stressing the CPU out just for 3-5 mins of 4k footage

How about Zenfone 5z? Unlimited time 4k 60fps footage?

Have you tried opencamera app ?

I personally don't care about [email protected] however, we should have [email protected]
Any news about it with MIUI 10 ? The hardware should support it. :|

I am on chines developer rom and i have FHD 120 fps mode.
But for 4k it has only 30 fps so far.

How do you like it?

Video recording pixelated @ 1080p 60fps.

When I try to record a video (with the stock app) ONLY in 1080p 60fps the video is pixelated, especially when I zoom in.
The phone is brand new.
I dont know if this is a bug and it will be fixed by a future update OR the stock camera app has this bug....
Does anyone else have this problem?

Everyone have this problem. 1080p60fps is not good at all on mi a2, looks like xiaomi tried to put 60fps in the same bitrate as 30fps, so we have not so good quality. When you enable camers2api in every other app than stock, 1080p looks like max zoomed in picture..
Maybe with pie update we can expect some improvement...

Yes, I hope with Pie will be fixed. Its not a major problem though... I use 4K 30fps for my recordings....

OpenCamera is the best option for 4k video recording. But loses this resolution if you enable camera2api

My mi8 avliable only 4k,1080 and 720p in 30fps mode

My mi8 avliable only 4k,1080 and 720p in 30fps and missing Video HFR menu on regular video mode. Ver. Is Miui Global 10.2.2.0 PEAMIXM

It is the same with me. If you need higher FPS (with FHD), try Hedgecam 2.

Xiaomi will bring 60FPS support for Mi 8 and Mi 8SE within the next two months

It also supports 4K EIS, so it is nice to have it among your apps.

Nothing is working, because Mi8 still lacks support of 60fps libs, any app crash.

@Johnnyman25: Your welcome.
Just manually set it to 4k + enable Video Stabilization in settings.
You could search in YouTube for "Open Camera 4k EIS".
Hedgecam2 is based on Opencamera app, but in my opinion with a better UI.
@zSyntex: My apologizes, you are actually right. You can't record at 60FPS.
In my earlier post, I tried to set the FPS manually to 60, and the app said: "Video: 1920x1080, 60fps[High Speed], 56Mbps", but at that time I didn't test it.
Sorry for this mistake.

240 FPS 720p

Is there a way to enable recording of 240 FPS slow-mo? I really do not mind the video being at quality of 720p, If the phone is capable of 1080p @240, I do not see a reason why it would not handle higher framerate at 720p.

where did you find info that it could handle 240 fps? i thought it was more like 60 (or 120 for 720p max)? don't get me wrong, i would like to see that, but imo this is out of A2's reach.

It records video in 1080p at 60fps or 720p at 120fps.

The 660 chipset on the Mi A2 IS capable of 240FPS @ 720P.
(https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon-660-mobile-platform)
The limiting factors here would be either A.) the camera modules or B.) software implementation.
So, in theory, yes but further testing/research would have to go into determining the possibility.
This would best be a question for Xiaomi support:
https://www.mi.com/global/support/contact/
Good luck!

and C) the willingness of Xiaomi of course

^^^ Absolutely this. LOL.

Even Mi 8 lite has 240FPS @720p, it uses the same CPU, so it is a software matter, so there should be a way to enable it.

@ond96
And you're likely right but, as of now, no one on XDA has volunteered to implement such a change.
Please contact Xiaomi and inquire further with them.
