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 .

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..,

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?

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

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.

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.
I have installed android 8.1 pixel experience rom on my redmi note 4, and I can't get slow motion recording to work, gcam always crashes, I tried open camera and set fps to 120 but it doesn't seem to work, it just records normal, I tried snap camera HDR and doesn't work, I've seen something about installing a magisk module fore the OP3 that enables HEVC ,and apparently works on some Xiaomi devices, I tried it and at first it seemed to work, slow motion didn't crash gcam and the viewfinder showed an image quality similar to that of MIUI stock camera in slowmo mode, but when I record the video it works for 1 second and freezes,then every time I try to open the camera the image is frozen until I reboot the phone

It doesn't look like slow motion in op ?, I think they just slow the video for that reason there is a frame drop issue in slow motion

"Latest experimental oreo version (20180308) works perfectly (even with slow motion) on RR 6.0.0 and AOSP Extended 5.3, good job! I only miss option to save Pictures to SD Card by default, is it possible to implement this into settings somehow? "
Also I can confirm that camera (also slowmotion and timelaps) working fine in RR O 6.0

Hi everyone !
Just a little question about this. How to switch from HD 960 FPS to FHD 240FPS ? I can't find anything in the camera app in order to manage this ...
Can you explain please ?
Thank you so much
Hello. I found it when you open the camera settings, find "common" and open edit camera modes. There is "slow motion" not super slow motion.

Thank you for this job!!!!
But this affects to UHD 60fps, (only achievable 55fps). Same happens with other apps: if you disable NR and sharpening, you cannot get 60fps, only 55fps. Any fix for that? Any idea for why this happens? @xenius9
Can u make it for Android 10

cinelog doesn't work with 60 fps at all even with 720p. If I force it 60 fps is disabled. HDR10 works with wide anlge with uhd60 but without logprofile. (I'm using lg g7)

Thanks! Yes, I'm aware of that. The Cinelog feature implies hdr within, and I think hdr is not possible beyond 30fps (even 8bit).
I have a stock modded for HDR10 wide angle, but doesn't work for me. (V40).
I cant seem to install this version :/
I keep reading that the GT 2 Pro, like other Realme phones, are stuck in 60fps gaming despite it being having a display with 120hz. Is there a mod that allows this? Has anyone gotten success on doing 120hz gaming?
Of course

there is an app called "setedit" in google play store, with it you can enable some apps to run on 120fps but as i said it doesnt enable 120fps in all games, all u have to do is find "peak_refresh_rate" click it, click edit value and then set it to 1
In RMX3301_11.C.16 version they added custom app refresh rate, so when you select high refresh rate instead of Auto select you'll see an option to change refresh rate per app and you can change your games to use 60, 90 or 120 hz, worked for me in Minecraft.
World of Tanks set to 120 Hz and the application runs at 60 Hz.
Spoiler: Screenshot
Edit:
I was able to set it to 120Hz.
I changed the default 120 Hz to 60 Hz, confirmed then put 90 Hz, confirmed the change and finally 120 Hz and confirmed the change. I launch the app and it runs at 120 Hz.
