The Mate 10 range support HDR10 (High Dynamic Range videos). Currently the only way to view a HDR video is to download a HDR video with the HEVC codec in MP4 format and view it with the built in video player. If you watch a HDR video in YouTube, it won't be in HDR, despite the title saying so.
YouTube have updated their YouTube app for some devices that support HDR to show true HDR videos. Currently they are the Pixel, Xperia Premium, Galaxy S8, Note 8 and LGV30 I believe. Sadly not the Mate 10.
However there is a workaround.
1) Install the modded iYTBP YouTube app. Follow the guide in the first few posts. No need to root or flash. Just install the relevant apks.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-iytbp-injected-youtube-background-t3560900
2) Alternatively, the direct folder is here. Choose to install either the standard white UI or the black UI:
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=226449
Not only will this app enable background play, picture in picture, pinch to zoom to fill screen and get rid of ads, but you can also spoof it to be one of the officially supported phones to enable HDR mode for our lovely Mate 10s.
3) To be able to login to your YouTube account, you need to install an apk called MicroG. Here is the direct link:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=961840155545591117
If your YouTube history is not working, you might have two accounts in one - your YouTube account and your Google account. Merge the two accounts together using the desktop YouTube website. If you are using an adblocker, make sure you whitelist *s.youtube.com.
4) Once both apks are installed, go to the Library tab, then tap on your profile icon and then tap on Settings. Tap on iYTBP Settings and tap on the About section several times to enable a hidden menu. Tap on Codec Override menu and from here you can choose to spoof either software or hardware HDR.
5) When you find a HDR video - like in this HDR playlist...
HDR Launch Playlist: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyqf6gJt7KuGArjMwHmgprtDeY8WDa8YX
...play the video and tap on the 3 dots and the video qualities will show HDR next to them and choose 1080p HDR. Sadly 1440p HDR has been removed as the frame rate was not great!
6) You can either keep the un-modded YouTube app on your phone and use it for different accounts or you can disable it altogether by going to Apps in System Settings.
Enjoy and thumbs up if it helps!
Thank you for sharing mate !

Tap on either hardware or software support. Both work.
The only problem is history is not working. Otherwise its great.
Have followed the instruction on post #3 for the non-root version (just download and install the apk) and nothing. I don't get the HDR option on the clips.

Is there a way to make video fit to screen with no black bars on each side when on full screen or landscape mode. My phone is currently rooted as well. Thanks

You may want to reword the thread as a question. It seems more like a statement that you have already figured this out. Just a thought.
I don't know if this works as i don't have recieved the phone yet, but try to copy the youtube link and paste it here.
stretch.site
It has sliders that let you chose your own aspect ratio. Maybe you can reach fullscreen in that way?
i think the only way you can do it is to root, install xposed, and make changes with per app settings. that should work i think
I currently download the youtube video with TubeMate, then open the clip with MX Player Pro or KMPlayer. In MX Player Pro it's possible to enable pintch to zoom, so you can over-zoom until there are no black bars visible. KMPlayer allows to zoom in a bit, which for some youtube videos is sufficient to remove all black bars, but not for the youtube videos that have black bars encoded in the video already.
Anyone successfully changed the Youtube DPI with an xposed DPI changer, to allow overzoom?
Because the aspect ratio is different, it won't happen natively. Like the other poster suggested, you need to zoom in the screen to chop off the top/bottom of the video.
just bumping this thread. Has anyone come up with a solution for per app? would love to be able to pinch-zoom native in the app.
Some apps like Netflix scale pretty damn well, most shows will take full advantage of the screen and movies will zoom to fit the width (leaving very narrow black bars), whereas youtube and iplayer leave these little black edges left and right... is a shame.
I just tried the latest guardians of the galaxy trailer and it played in full screen, i was trying to so what size that video is. Maybe new videos on YouTube are going to start being played in different ratios since the new up coming phones are 18.9
You can do it without root on every video on Youtube !
Just activate the "Magnification gesture" setting and then triple tap whenever you want to "zoom in" a Youtube video,it will still crop a little part of the video to make it full screen if the ratio is not the same though.

Hi @Arnova8G2,
Thanks for porting this awesome camera.
I'm at the latest version GCam5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.3.apk and portrait mode works fine but if i go into Slowmotion camera (used to work in previous version) camera crashes.
any solution to this?
cheers
Hi, I have just installed the apk, the slow motion camera crashes for me too, but the camera also crashes after taking a picture. May I ask for your preset/settings? Thank you.

make sure you install the patch in magisk for slomo + camera api

Config camera HDR+ = Pixel 2017 Zsl HDR+
Model = Nexus 6p
HDR+ parameters = High
get the apk from here

Thank you for the extremely helpful response. I have tried your settings on Arnova's 5.1.018_v1.2: GCam5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.2, everything seems to work fine. But when trying the GCam5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.3 with your settings, the app crashes after you look back at the photos you've taken. I suspect its something to do with the Config camera HDR+ set to Pixel 2017 Zsl HDR+. Seems like it does not crash when set to Nexus 6 Auto.
On the latest version, the slow motion crashes on me as well, also can't seem to capture video. Portrait mode works! I don't suppose you've got motion photos working? Thank you.

No, you can have the both. I have Arnova8G2 and B-S-G Google Camera mods, as well as MIUI Camera and Snap Camera ones. Well, that's not all, quite few other camera apps too.

oh, 1.5 beta already out, nice lets check and see if it finally works properly with video record and portrait mode...
edit: well well! looks like GCam finally works in video recording mode with a version newer than 1.2 plus, portrait mode is finally here and it works!
however, there are two things to consider:
1) only two phone models work when selecting the HDR+ mode - either "Nexus 6 Auto" or "Pixel 2017 ZSL HDR no PD" (I chose the latter), all other phone models dont work (black screen in camera mode)
2) Due to the restriction to the two phone models, you can only activate regular HDR+, whereas HDR+ Enhanced is not available anymore
So basically, you can choose between
v1.2 for HDR+ Enhanced, but without Portrait Mode
or
v1.5 beta for regular HDR+, but with Portrait Mode included

Guys, found a way to enable Electronic Image Stabilisation in the default app. This is how.
1) Open the stock camera app
2) Click on settings
3) Go down to red eye reduction and tap on it until a notification comes up saying something on the lines of you are entering additional settings.
4) Switch to video mode
5) Make sure you are shooting at less than 4k.
6) You may now toggle the Image Stabilization option in the settings.
Let me know actual effect while shooting a video
Yes It Does Work There Is A Way To Developer Mode And In Video Settings There Is A Option To Unable EIS
It works
The video is now less shaky than before
Yes it is worked just tap many time on red eye reduction option
Thank you for your research and sharing. It works I confirm. Switch to rear camera, tap and hold red eye reduction for 3 to 5 seconds, when you lift your finger there will be a toast saying developer settings enabled, switch to video recorder, head to settings again there will be an option now for image stabilization.
Just one question to thread maker, how on earth you found out this?

Frankly, happened to find about the hidden settings on another forum; but found the EIS setting disabled as I had set 4K as my camera's default video shoot resolution. At my end I only accidentally stumbled upon the 1080p setting to enable the EIS flag. Hence the first line that says found a way to make EIS work rather than found the settings.

Yes there is Zoom in EIS mode vs non EIS mode.
In hindsight may be Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro's stock camera is limited to video capture at 1080p for the same reason that our phone supports EIS till 1080p; while Xiaomi also advertises that RN5 Pro supports EIS officially.
Its a different thing that other apps have vidoe capture at 4K with EIS functional for some unknown reason in RN5 Pro..

First of all thank you sir for the providing us with useful tweak :good: but sir as normal person who's not that much into tweaking camera settings manually it's of not that much use to a person like me who likes to rely on 'Auto Mode' moreover I don't know how to use these things, coming to the point "is there any way to turn off the camera developer options (API 2) and get back to normal mode ? "
I confirm that this works for EU phone too. At least for mine.
Did anyone notice ?
once you enter camera developer mode, for each capture two photos are being saved ?
one is normal and one with tag debug !
any way to fix it ?
This is a support thread for apks created by NOVa. Here you'll find basic instructions on how to use this port and how to properly report bugs.
Compatibility:
- The camera2 api needs to be enabled;
- Most versions only work on Snapdragon SoCs, but some work on Mediatek and Exynos processors;
- 64 bit ROMs are a requirement;
- Newer versions may work only on new Android versions. Old versions might be better for old Android versions;

The Viewfinder Fix: Download Link If XDA Is Broken
It will replace your tuned camera file with the file that razer used in android OREO as that one has no issues with the viewfinderIssues: None that i know of so far, if you notice anything you can mention it in the comments but it is likely i cannot fix it
The EIS Fix: Download Link If XDA Is Broken
EIS (Electronic Image Stabilisation) helps your videos look more stable, by default this is only available at 30fps and only in some apps. However, with this fix EIS will be enabled in any app that asks for it and it will work at 1080p 60fps.Make sure to not use the stock camera app with this but instead a gcam with 60fps support for this phone (like BSGs)Issues: It will break 4k 60fps recording, it just won't work. Also it will break 1080p 60fps recording on the front camera.
And finally, yes of course these modules work together

on stock the camera viewfinder is blurry and colours smudge, making 3rd party apps like Instagram very bad with recording videos and not being able to see well on on what you're taking a picture of.
This issue came around with the pie update for razer phone 2 so I managed to fix the viewfinder issue by using the razer libs from android OREO.
This is for every app, not just gcam.
The EIS fix allows for video stabilization at 1080p 60fps.

This issue came around with the pie update for razer phone 2 so I managed to fix the viewfinder issue by using the razer libs from android OREO.
This is for every app, not just gcam.
The EIS fix allows for video stabilization at 1080p 60fps.

Thanks for the explanation. Do you have any videos/photos to show the fix in action? Or can anyone else confirm this works? Cheers!

I have made a couple comparison videos and here they are: (read the description of each as it describes what to look for if it is not immediately visible)
1. Stock Camera Libs through the gcam viewfinder
2. My module through the gcam viewfinder
3. Stock Camera libs recording a video of snapchat (it just records the viewfinder)
4. My module recording the same video in snapchat
Even with the low youtube quality as of now (still processing probably) the changes are noticeable

Using both of these and my gcam is much better. Viewfinder no longer has a ghosting effect, colors are better, and stabilization works.

(Downloads at the bottom of this post in the attached files)
Should work with every Razer Phone 2
Installation:
Open Magisk Manager and head to the Modules page
Click on the plus(+) and select the file you want to install
To install more than one file, after one module has installed go back and redo the same process with the other file you downloaded
The Viewfinder Fix: Download Link If XDA Is Broken
It will replace your tuned camera file with the file that razer used in android OREO as that one has no issues with the viewfinderIssues: None that i know of so far, if you notice anything you can mention it in the comments but it is likely i cannot fix it
The EIS Fix: Download Link If XDA Is Broken
EIS (Electronic Image Stabilisation) helps your videos look more stable, by default this is only available at 30fps and only in some apps. However, with this fix EIS will be enabled in any app that asks for it and it will work at 1080p 60fps.Make sure to not use the stock camera app with this but instead a gcam with 60fps support for this phone (like BSGs)Issues: It will break 4k 60fps recording, it just won't work. Also it will break 1080p 60fps recording on the front camera.
And finally, yes of course these modules work together

Impossible, are you using BSGs cameras? also disable the EIS fix to check if it is that one.
Is it the EIS FIX of VF FIX doing it? and which gcams did you try (by which modder)

it seems more of like an issue with your phone or something as I've not heard of anybody having problems with the viewfinder fix.
about the 7.4 gcam, try BSGs latest version from celsoazevado, it should be labelled test
also you said the camera works in social medias, is that with or without the viewfinder fix

I don't see the latest version being labelled as test. Maybe you're talking about one of those that are labelled as test?
