How to enable Youtube HDR mode for the Mate 10

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 !

Yes I tried to merge my two and I can't either. So I just don't have history showing.

Nice. Worth it for the extra features too!

Thanks! Now waiting for Netflix.

Thank you for your post. I have a mate 10 pro.
Can you please tell me what to do here?

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.
I must be missing something?

You need to update to latest version (12.45.56)
Last two updates broke HDR

Actually on the latest build the software and hardware toggles have vanished. HDR YouTube apps no longer work. Anyone?

My mistake. Doh!
I forgot to tap the about section several times to enable developer mode. The HDR toggles are back.
So on our Mate 10s, which do you guys think give you a better result? Software or Hardware HDR choice?

I am obviously completely missing something. Just not getting anything at all. I have downloaded the latest version and still nothing.

Video Camera Failed - Ten Cent (Flashed WW)

Hey guys,
Anyone know why my video recording feature isn't working?
Can take photos fine. Just any of the camera recording stuff just says failed.
Thanks

You have to factory wipe, not sign in to anything when you're first setting up your phone, no Fingerprint, no Google, nothing and when you make it to the home screen, then you can sign in and everything will work as intended. Or use Google camera. Just easier to wipe though.

After skipping all the setup like this, how do you then restore all your apps, settings, etc from another device like you can during setup?

Actually this the problem with Google app... Just uninstall update of Google app to factory version... Check your video recording... If it works then install previous version of google app.. 2 or 3 version before is a good one i think. Recheck your video recording after.

Nope it's actually caused by the voice search function. Just disable voice match setting and video recording works again.

If you want to keep voice recognition on, you can also just install a 3rd party app like open camera.

Same issue, installed OpenCamera and everything works fine. Stock camera app has a big red capture button that when pressed causes a video recording error.

Do you retain features like slo-mo video, portrait mode, etc with OpenCamera (or any 3rd party camera)?

All features in OpenCamera work as far as I can tell.

I just tested OpenCamera, and you lose a lot of functionality by using it instead of the stock camera. To name a few things you lose:
1. You lose the wide angle camera
2. You lose the 48mp option on standard camera
3. You lose slo-mo video
4. You lose portrait photo mode

I tried installing the Pixelmaster apk from Open APK and the install fails. My guess is that is has something to do with the microphone. Still troubleshooting..

install the original ROM?

Video recording not working

Hello, jjst updated my Rog Phone to 2004.60 WW
And now video recording in camera app gives an error.
I use russian but its translated as Error with video recording

I think you have to sign out of your google account then open the camera and give it a go, should work. Afterwards, just sign back in and you should be good to go.

[FIX] Razer Phone 2 Viewfinder and EIS Fix Magisk Modules

Note:
- I am not responsible for anything that goes wrong with your device, bootloops, bricks, paperweights etc... Nothing should go wrong but hey i need to include this. If you need any help i will try my best to help you to fix it if you comment.
(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 viewfinder​Issues: 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
Also if you need anything else or want to join the Razer Phone community join our group on Telegram!

thanks!

Why is this needed? Can you provide any context? Are these features broken on stock, or just in Gcam?

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.

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.
