Best Camera App? - Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers

Hello there. I have been searching for the best camera app for my Zuk Z2 plus and still haven't found it.
I would love a app with back and front camera potrait mode, 1080p 60fps video, slow motion at 960fps, (our device supports that as it was in the stock camera app) and other features that come in handy! I have tried the latest and previous versions of arnova's google camera fix and it is brilliant, but these days video recorder only works in 4k. It shows a black screen at 1080p (be it 30 or 60 fps) and 720p video works until we start to record, it just crashes. Even the stock camera app on RR doesn't work well. I it worked brilliantly before, but suddenly it just stopped working (maybe due to the fact that i played with the developer settings ?)
I have a unlocked bootloader, Resurrection Remix v6.0 (android 8.1) with root access. Please guide me about the best i can do. Peace

Our phone doesn't actually has capability to shoot 720p and 960fps it was stock 120fps but in the gallery app it would play it at less than 30fps(default) That's all

Dont tell me 4k video recording is working? -_-
Is the dark video problem still there in this camera...?
Can this camera be used in Miui roms ?
You should credit the creator of the mod (provide a link to the original OP), and test freatures before posting here saying that "everything works" when its not the case..

Redmi 3S cannot record neither play 4K video because it doesn't have decoder. I have tried this camera. If you use 4K option video will be recorded as 1080p. How can a phone without 4K playback support record videos in 4K????

How to enable google camera 4k on custom roms (i.e. ResurrectionRemix)

Hey guys,
I really like the google camera but it seems like I can't get 4k (30fps) video recording up and running. If I switch it on, the camera force closes, no matter what I do or what version I use.)
Right now I am at the latest version of saneklic (2018-07-21; MGCamera_5.1.0.18_R5Plus_v.5.1.17_fix_crash.apk)
I know about the tutorial claiming you need to enable it in some "whyred.xml" which is in a "device feature folder" (a folder somewhere in system/etc/) or something like that, but there is no such thing in a custom rom: it exists only on MIUI. I've already tried every tutorial possible, but nothing helps.
4k is working with the lineage snap, the google camera picture quality is much better though and I really prefere the gcam (because of additional settings/mods)
Thank you very much, any help is very much appreciated. If someone can help me, I will donate you a coffee :highfive:

Hey man, I'm really disappointed so far by RN5, I couldn't find a way to record stabilized 4K on custom roms, not even with Open Camera which worked fine on MIUI 10. I have a two year old RN3 which records 4K with gcam (not stabilized) and takes slightly better photos than RN5.
So far i've tried RR, LOS and AEX. 4K recording crashes any camera I've used. Open Camera just gives an error. Waited 2 weeks to unlock bootloader, thinking it will open the gates of heaven. In fact been through hell since I unlocked(yesterday). Antirollback is like a minefield which I luckily avoided, then front camera barely works with gcam, some slight battery drain with custom roms and now 4K recording is broken. Feels like I've downgraded my phone.
Think I'll try to flash MIUI 10, root it, enable camera 2 api for gcam and use Open Camera for EIS enabled 4K. Btw the latest gcam by alone_in_dark works best, even front camera works quite good, try it.
Edit: I flashed MIUI 10, once I enabled camera2 api 4K doesn't work. So it's either 4K or HDR+. Thanks Xiaomi.

Thanks for everything! To be honest I prefere much more [email protected] instead of [email protected] I managed to get 4k recordings on lineage snap & open camera no problem. Google camera is where it's at though, I love the settings & mods. I can help you out though if you really want to do 4k recordings ^^

Can't say no to that. But since 4K (3840 × 2160 resolution) doesn't appear in open camera after enabling camera2 api, I don't think there's a fix for that. It appears only 4000 x 2000 2:1 which gives an error. I did manage to get 4K working with another third party camera, but without EIS. Because RN5 can record 4K with excellent stabilization it's a pitty not to use it. So now if I want to record something I just use another build.prop without cam2.api then reboot, and switch back to enabled cam2.api prop when I want to use HDR+ :laugh:

This is horrible! I mean is it a firmware issue or some custom rom problem? Unfortuantly I'm not much into mobile software development... I really really want a fix, I would even pay money for it xD :highfive:
Edit_0: If we take a look at this link; a possible solution is shown but it doesn't work... a hotfix would be cool but meh it's alright you can't have it all...
Edit_1: Installing it as a system app doesn't help either btw

Hello my friend, it seems you can have it all, I finally found a way to record 4K with EIS while having camera2 api enabled. I'm really happy now and overall satisfied with the phone. Only issue remaining is the front camera HDR+ which is beyond my knowledge, hopefully someone else will come with a fix.
So now, how I managed to record 4K? I'm on MIUI 10 (8.7.12), and using latest blackbox kernel by KunalKene1797. Don't know if these have any effect, but I thought it's good to know.
The third party camera I'm using is Snap Camera, there are certain settings which need to be enabled. I'll post a video with the settings I used and which worked best. 4K Video Support and Use Camera2 API being the most important ones. There could be other settings which could improve the recording, but I like to stay on these stable settings, because I'm pleased with the results so far.
Here's the video with the settings needed in Snap Cam https://youtu.be/gRj9LhYWv5Y(video is back)
Here's the first 4K video https://youtu.be/oQGc4gXnGU0
A test for auto-focus https://youtu.be/V41k21qKQpE
No EIS sample vs EIS https://youtu.be/_qNFNs2gq74 VS https://youtu.be/00J-3cAzLjg
Edit 1: I also tried setting higher bitrate than the default 42, however in windows at the details on the first video it shows 40 total bitrate and when setting to 64 it shows 42, either way it seems the quality was marginally improved. I guess the phone can't write faster than that or the storage doesn't allow it.
https://youtu.be/Q7Lqlr-QanA
Some stuttering can be seen from 0:08 to 0:11, but I think that's because the phone started thermal throttling, it's very hot outside and from all the testing, phone was quite hot too.
I really hope it works for you as well, take care.

Youtube removed the settings video, can you post it in text here? Or upload the video somewhere else? Thanks! Been looking for a solution to have 4k EIS and camera2 api for a long time since Open Camera didn't work anymore.

Please check back later, I appealed to the decision to remove my video. The video doesn't contain any scam or anything that may violate the community guidelines.

Hi! Thanks for all the details. I am using the latest miui 10, and WITHOUT api2 turned on, I used hedge camera app, and the 4k eis was working fine, but phone was droping the frames / stuttering the recorded video, which is a bit annoying.
I tested your setup, and I can see that its better, but still sometimes I can see some dropped frames. It happen to you too?
Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

Yes, it happens to me as well, in the first 8 to 10 seconds, I think it's the cpu, it can't use EIS very well with 4K. Without EIS there are no dropped frames or stutter issues.
A suggestion would be to use a very fast micro sd card, haven't tested, but worth a try.
After about 4-5 minutes the phone gets quite warm and stutter is inevitable due to thermal throttling.

Camera app with working Slow Motion for custom roms on One Plus 3?

Any camera app with working Slow Motion mode on custom roms?
I'm running LOS 15.1 rn and I've tried slow motion on Google Cam and OOS Camera. None of them work.
Any suggestions?
I to am looking for an answer to this. I had tried a few custom ROMs but came back to stock (well open beta) because of the camera.
I tried Google camera mod and it has the slow motion (with audio!) And HDR+.

But Google camera slow motion doesn't work for me. The camera freezes.
Where did you get the Google camera app from? I honestly don't remember how I got it. I'll have to have a look. But a quick look through magisk and there's a "Google camera fix" module. Maybe try that?
On oreo Gcam slowmo don't work.
You can install nokia camera work but not the same quality of oos camera..
the Nokia camera port have a working slow mo on Oreo...it's a little buggy but mostly works, search in the forums you'll find it.
Have you found any slow motion camera that works on Android Pie? I've tried Snapdragon Camera which crashes now but worked for Oreo. Nokia Camera is able to switch to slow motion mode, even save the recorded video but the output is the same as normal video.
Did anyone find an answer to this? I've heard that the OnePlus camera is on apkmirror and that could work..

Slow motion on LineageOS 14.1

Hello everyone
I'm trying to get slow motion video recording to work on Lineage. Stock is capable of recording 120fps, however with Lineage the best possible seems to be 60fps with a Gcam port.
So far I've tried several tweaks to mediaprofiles.xml, however I'm unsure which setting really does the trick. I even went as far as completely replacing mediaprofiles with one from a different phone that does support high FPS recording.
I'm using Footej as camera app, selected SlowMotion, however the videos always come out at 15fps, even regular recording does 30fps.

autofocus problems MI10T original camera app

Hello friends, I give you a video that I have made of the problem that I see with this mobile and the autofocus when you record at 60fps, either 1080 or 4k. It takes a long time to focus, or it does not focus directly, and when it works, it does so by jumping quite uncomfortably. in 30 fps everything goes smoothly. Happens to you? thanks!!
video
I can reproduce this on my phone's stock camera, but not as badly as on your video. It seems there's something different about how it chooses to focus when in 60p.
I suspect it's software-related, as when I run 4k 60p on GCAM 8.1 I don't see the issue at all. I'm running MIUI 12.0.9.

[/CITAR]
correct friend, when it is at 60fps, the autofocus looks like the one used in photo mode, and is not progressive as in video mode at 30fps. Can you tell me exactly what version of gcam are you using? what xml? I have an operator rom in 12.0.4, I am thinking of putting global, but I have not animated yet.

I'm using the newest GCAM 8.1. The main things work, but can't use other lenses at the moment. 4k 60p seems to work ok.
