Recently I have discovered you CAN record 1080p video at 60fps with stock MIUI8 just needs a few simple mods and specific camera apps.
This mod is only for and tested on the Redmi Note 3 Pro Snapdragon variant (kenzo).
For this mod to work you will need a few things to get started.
--- Select a Camera App ---
1. MotoCamera (MotoCamera_V6.0.62.1_ModV4.apk)
2. In MotoCamera set the mode to 1080 60 FPS in the settings pane (swipe from the edge to access options).
-OR-
1. FreeDCam -
2. you must edit the 1080p video profile in it's settings under 'video profile editor', set/change video frame rate to 60 fps and 'record mode' -> Normal then save, back in settings make sure Camera2 API is selected.
(3.3.147 is the current stable, but has a bug switching from 'pic' to 'video' and back where camera will appear to freeze, that bug is fixed in version 4 alpha but it has another have an issue saving some settings, I suggest starting with 3.3.147 to test it out.)
----
--System Changes---
3. you need to put the modified 'media_profiles_8956.xml' (found attached to this post) to enable 60fps on the device, use a file-manager like MiXplorer or similar to replace the file it can be found in /etc/ (make backups first), you can also just rename the old file to something like '/etc/media_profiles_8956.xml-'.
OR
I have also created a Magisk script for systemless modification., if you don't want to change / modify system files and happen to have Magisk installed just install the zip file in Magisk Manger - easy.
if you are going the non Magisk route then I suggest you backup your original media_profiles_8956.xml or just rename it to something else just incase you dislike the mod and want to return to stock.
4. reboot, and try it out, [email protected], you do need to be in nicely lit area otherwise fps will drop in low light -
.
Video: MPEG4 Video (H264) 1920x1080 59fps 16931kbps [V: VideoHandle [eng] (h264 baseline L4.2, yuv420p, 1920x1080, 16931 kb/s)]
-
Pros:
60 FPS 1080p
very smooth such a noticeable difference
media_profiles_8956.xml mod ups the stock bitrate for audio to 320k , and raises video bitrate for better looking videos.
Cons:
Breaks stock camera video recording (camera app crashes)
still has the FPS lag in low light
60 FPS only works in specific camera apps, if you find others please let me know!
I have tested this on MIUI 8 Global beta 7.6.15, I am not sure the results of other OSes or MIUI versions, so as with any mod try it at own risk and make sure you have a working twrp or recovery.
good luck.
BTW there is also a 960P mod for 90fps, but it cannot coexist with the 1080p 60FPS mod .

For this tutorial we will need a few things first so follow along.
1. MotoCamera (MotoCamera_V6.0.62.1_ModV4.apk)

1. Another alternative is FreeDCam - but you must edit the 1080p video profile in it's settings, change video frame rate to 60 fps and record mode > Normal then save), also make sure CameraAPI2 is selected.
2. In MotoCamera select 1080 60 FPS in the settings (swipe from the side to access options).
3. Next is the 'hard' part you need to put a modified /etc/media_profiles_8956.xml to enable 60fps on the device (see attachment below), I have also created a Magisk script for systemless modification., if you don't want to change system files and happen to have magisk installed..,
if you are going the non Magisk route then I suggest you backup your original media_profiles_8956.xml or just rename it to something else just incase you dislike the mod and want to return to stock.
reboot, and try it out, 60fps 1080p you need to be in nicely lit area otherwise fps will drop in low light.

Is the breaking of the stock camera reversible by restoring xml file?

yeah, if you restore the xml stock camera should work like normal again, just remember to reboot after changing the xml files.
Any 1080p 60fps samples?
i can record full hd on my device using miui.eu rom

This thread is about recording in 60FPS! You miui.eu ROM can record only in 30FPS.
Maybe Open Camera will support

I tried
Open Camera,
Snap Camera HDR (all CameraAPI levels),
Lumio Camera (btw this is another awasome camera, if you want a steady 30fps video with no FPS drops even in low light, just no 60 FPS though ),
Camera MX
but they all record at 30 fps
So far the only ones known to work at 60 FPS are
Moto Camera
FreeDCam
cyngn.cameranext (not tested)
CameraNX (only for android 7.x)
Have you figured out any way to make the camera record stable 30FPS even in low light without any third party camera app? Thanks man, I'll be using Lumio Cam for now. Haha.
Edit: It actually works! Seriously, how can this camera do this kind of stuff?! It actually performs better, but kinda hated the UI lol, at least the video camera can be usable now.
Will it work on Los based ROMs?

for the 60 fps mod?, I have no idea I only tested it on MIUI 8, you can see if the /etc/media_profiles_8956.xml file exists on the LOS rom and try porting the modified settings over and try motocamera out.

Afaik there is no way to make stock camera app record steady 30 fps, I edited kenzo.xml inside of miuisystem.apk and I can enable a few extra options for the stock camera like video image stabilization, 4k video ..etc but still suffers the fps lag in dark, I also dislike the zero shutter lag feature of the stock camera since images come out looking like watercolor (when zoomed in), where if you compare a image that was taken with another camera like SnapCam or Lumio the water color effect will be gone and have more detail for far away objects (but at the cost of shutter delay) ,
btw I can make a magisk script for a miuisystem.apk with the stock camera mods enabled, but you might have to be on the same version of miui 8 (7.6.15) since I am not sure how often that file changes and if it can work across different miui8 versions

What I mean is, are there any solutions like binary patches or any system stuff that doesn't fiddle with the camera app? Or have you found any other camera app that can do stable 30fps in low light?
Sadly, I'm already using NOS so I can't test stuff, but that's a good idea. I don't think MIUI doesn't change it's files that much. Good work man! :highfive:
Just tested, it works like a charm [emoji106]

Just Lumio that I found so far (that can do 30 fps without mods in low light), besides it costing money its pretty nice .
I have heard if you first set a manual shutter speed to a fixed 1/30 in snap camera hdr it might also work in that app, although I have not tried it, I might mess around with it later after it finishes charging
This mod work for xiaomi redmi note 4 sd?

@otyg Would be amazing if you could find a way to enable slowmotion in google camera, thanks.

Oh and, as a side note, do not try to apply this mod to any of the custom roms here, it will bootloop the device.

that lumio cam can even record 4k at stable 26fps in low light conditions ( with fraps while playback )

Yeah shame this feature is limited to one app tho, luckily Lumio is a nice all around app with lots of settings, it's a pretty new app so maybe more features will become available with future updates, I think lumio manually controls the shutter speed so it never drops under 30 perhaps that's how they defeat the fps drop, I tried contacting the developers but never heard back sadly.
but still since now we know what this camera can do, it sucks that it's being held back from its full potential by xiaomi, it should work like this out of the box, variable framerate was a bad idea.
First of all, I didn't make this port just found it here, so I just wanted to share it: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73295122&postcount=10
Things are I confirm that are working:
-Shot on OnePlus watermark
-OIS in 720p, 1080p (not with EIS tough)
-Manual mode with the histogram (Max ISO 800 only)
-4k recording in front facing camera (MX Player, and gallery shows it's 4k, but I can't test it if looks any better than 1080p)
-Panorama, Timelapse(?)
Things that are not working:
-HQ looks the same as normal mode (Still max ISO is 800)
-No 1080p60 option
-No HDR option
-Slow motion records only in 30fps
Install it as a normal apk. Tested on Oxygen OS Ob11

why would anyone install this? considering it has less features than the stock oneplus 3t camera app

Because it has a feature that I and some people really needed: OIS for 1080p,720p, not only for 4k and 1080p60, and it won't replace your stock camera app, so you can use the stock camera app if you want something else.

When installing this "port", it basically kills postprocessing on the stock camera app until you deinstall it and reboot your device.
See for yourself. Not only does it not improve the camera quality, it also deteriorates the stock camera quality.

Yes, you are right, I just tested it, but you don't need to reboot your device. I'm sorry for the trouble.

Without rebooting, I get "processing" shown after taking a photo.
