Can't shoot 4k on LG G5 with 3rd party camera apps - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have unrooted LG G5. I downloaded 3rd party camera app (Open Camera) because it has manual video controls only to find out I can't shoot 4k with that app. There is option to chose 4k resolution, but video ends up 1080p. Would rooting the phone help?

I don't think rooting your phone would help , but that's wired because I haven't this problem with my Next it Robin ( 4K camera too ) , see the screenshot :

Did you check if it is really 4k? (While on the video in gallery, tap details, resolution should be displayed there). I have the 4l option too but it saves the video as 1080p.

Ho , I figured out what was wrong , I was using the camera in photography mode . In video mode , our phones aren't powerful enough to support 4K videos. It is the case for every phone that supports 4K .( Edit #1: every phone I know)

Yes.
I think the only way to "solve" this is to contact the developer of the app.
Thank you very much for your time!

[Q] Improve the camera

Hi
Is there any way to improve the camera?
Specifically:
- get ~ 30 fps (or anything more than 15) in video mode
- get bigger videos (720x480 would be ok, and I believe that even 720p could be done with the right software and gpu acceleration)
- more vibrant colors en still images
Any idea is welcome
Thank you in advance

I just need the FPS to be increased. All else is make do-able.
Ofcourse any other tweaks would be welcome!

In other thread we discussed this issue, and we found that (apparently) the camera settings are hard-coded in the camera application.
I tried changing the file /data/local.prop and it didn't work
Other possibilities could be to change the /system/build.prop (but probably it will not work)
Or.. get another camera app that doesn't have this limitation
Is there a stock android camera app that can be used?

[like maniac!!]
If anyone manages to find a way to record at 30fps with this phone, then I can finally die happily

So i guess, i need to push that apk in my system, or just install it?
Is it confirmed that it runs on LG Op. One?

Just tried it. It installs fine, but crashes when switching to video mode, error when trying to get the preview.

after installing the apk, it replaces the stock camera of the phone?
Or you have that camera application as a replacement?
what's the uninstall process?
I've tried edit local.prop & build.prop with new presets, no success.

Oops... sorry about the double reply!
Bump!
Any progress?
I tried using other apps but the sound is still 8000Hz and crashes all camera apps if i change the setting.
I am ok with the resolution. Its the framerate and sound which i hate...

Hmmm camera improvements for a 3mpx . I don't know , seems useless.
Though a filming improvement would be nice ( from 17 or 18 to 30 ) . Even on my Nokia 5230 with a 2mpx shooter I had 30fps VGA filming

My point exactly. Its not like the Optimus is not powerful enough to record 30 Fps.
And the thing is that its not 18 FPS all out. It drops to 7-8 fps at times. If i can get 24 fps and 22.5k Hz sound at 64 kbps all out i'll be happy. The exposure problems and the dullness of images and such is make do able but low fps and that bad bad sound just ruins it. Videos are totally useless. I dont expect HD quality out of my O1 but cmon. It should atleast do VGA properly.
I believe, that changing build.prop is totally ignored by the camera App. I've tried all possible settings/combinations and nothing changed. There must be some way.

HD video camera

Hello,
Anyone know of a good HD video camera app that will use the SD card on a rooted device. Cinema FV-5 will only use internal memory even though device is rooted and had SD Card access installed and works with other apps.
Thanks!

Hi, try OpenCamera.apk ..... it-s a very good replacement for stock camera apk. It has alot of cool settings to play with it, and it`s capable of 4k resolution video recording ( depends on device ).

Works great on my Note 2014 and S4's. The Force 4K UHD video is of a greater quality than I thought it would be.

1080p/60fps possible in MIUI 7?

So, i tried t he default camera app that comes with miui and noticed that there is no option to change fps. I downloaded open camera and recorded a video in 1080p/30fps and 1080p/60fps and didn't notice any difference. I know this phone can record in 60fps cause in custom roms (CM,RR) that run android 6.0.1 the default application recorded 60fps in 1080p and it looked wonderful. Is there an app other than open camera that does that?

Note8 can be used to record 4K 60fps [ video ]

Hi guys !
i just watch youtube and found someone who can record 4K with 60fps
this man said lgcamera+ app and custom script can record 4K with 60fps , he mentioned the author is RubberBigPepper .
does anyone know how to do it ?
(sorry for that can't get youtube link in by system)
There's this app that lets you record 4K at 60fps with the native Samsung camera, but it requires root. So, it's been possible to do that for a quite a while now.

I don't use the mod, no. I just know of its existence. There isn't much the mod offers me that I'm interested in or deem worthy enough of the price tag attached to it.

You're right. I misread a little and made a mistake. It can do 60fps at QHD (2560x1440), but not 4K.
I guess that means our cameras can't do 4K60fps, after all. That's fine, though, I don't care about 4K recording. Up until now I always did 720p. I only decided to start doing 1080p recording since I got my Note 8.

i tried it, and it did work, but it just seems stupid that i have to use google camera instead of the default one. i'm not sure what i can do. i already tried resetting the huawei camera app but still nothing.
does anyone else have this problem or is it just me? it works just fine with google camera.

Hi!
Unfortunately final quality is bad - the video floats and very much visible convex jelly-effect.
Tried so many app for video-shot and all of them hoot video almost the same as a stock camera.
Relatively good filming video(with EIS) the Open Camera app, but only at daylight and at FHD 30 fps only.
Looking for some other camera app...
