Moto g4 plus camera mod [email protected]

Improved 1080p recording and picture quality
root required
Open media.zip and find media profile xml file extract it and then you can replace.
steps
1) open es file explorer go to device>system>etc
2) find media_profile.xml in etc folder
3) replace it with this media_profile.xml
4) save and reboot.
1) Increased photo compression quality to 100%.
2) Increased video bitrate from 17mbps to 24 mbps can go upto 30mbps but fps drops so 24 is best.
3) Increased audio bitrate to 14000.
4) Increased front camera video bitrate to 20mbps.
5) Increased memcap to twice .
pros
1) Better 1080p video recording from both front and back camera.
2) Image quality of front is improved marginally.
3) In daylight video from rear camera are best .
4) More clear audio .
5) In low light pictures are better than stock.
6 ) sharp and clear video.
cons
1) In low light because of high bitrate video look more contrasted.
2 ) Very small change in picture quality in daylight.
This is screenshot of front camera video bitrate

Does it work in roms too?

Yes any rom

And could it be a way to improve slow motion camera, or default options are the only one??

I got bootloop
edit: nevermind, my mistake xD

I got a boot loop after replacing the file. I'm on aosp extended.

Same here..got boot loop on RR

4k Video Recording & Hdr in @25MP mode using OPEN CAMERA

Hello everyone,
》 You can use "4k video recording & click @25mP images in hdr mode" which isn't natively present in the stock camera, period, by using "Open Camera"
》Playstore Link : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.opencamera
》I saw a marginal improvement in highlights especially at the night time shooting where stock camera blows up the highlights almost all the times & the detail levels are also higher as the image is captured in @25mp mode with active HDR.
》There's no stabilization in 4k recording but i saw drastic Improvement in dynamic range, especially at night. The difference between the stock 1080p video & the 4k video from "Open Camera" is huge. Ofcourse the files sizes are also 4 times higher.
》The details are much higher in both the front & back camera with better dynamic range using "Open Camera" especially during daytime.
》I prefer the stock camera only to capture still images at night due to faster shutter speed & as A50 uses pixel binning in 3:4 hdr mode which helps to gather more light ofcourse. The images are comparable here, though in this situation only.
》》》 If you're going to record video at evening & night time, I highly recommend you using 4K option in the "Open Camera", trust me the difference in dynamic range especially at night is unbelievable.
》》》 Tip : Keep the scene optimizer on & use 3:4 hdr mode while shooting at Night on Galaxy A50 as it uses pixel binning & AI to get stable pictures & gather more light for a bright shot. Avoid wide angle lens at night.
》》》 Reply to this post if you want to see actual proofs else you can try it out yourself.
Here's 4k vs 1080p video sample link (uncompressed)

The more interesting thing is what the phone is actually capable, but isn't enabled in the stock camera. Maybe Samsung will optimise the camera in future updates.

Yes brother, exynos 9610 is infact capable of doing [email protected] as mentioned on their official website.
Also, Galaxy A50 has flagship grade imx 576 sensor :

Hi, everybody. I'm using an Open Camera that's unlocked, it will unlock the camera at 2API.1280x720 resolution, bitrate 200 mbbs.120 frames per second, but the video size is 398 megabytes in 18 seconds.

xda turns into a resource to read instead of humor. The man took and unlocked camera2api without even realizing what it was. On a rooted a50, it does not allow access, but he succeeded with a finger movement in the settings ...

help! what's the settings in open camera to make 4k video?

Nothing.
Change the resolution to 4k in Settings > Video Settings > Video resolution
You're good to go, Cheers.

Manual Shutter speed for Galaxy A50 - Front & Rear - Image & Video, both.

[Getting Dark videos under lowlight ? Well, No more !]
》 You can use Manual Shutter speed after getting into manual mode.
》 You can use the Manual shutter speed for both front & rear camera's.
》 Manual shutter speed can slso be used while recording front & rear camera video's.
》 4k video rec availabe at rear camera with manual shutter speed.
》 Higher resolution front camera video when compared to stock camera.
》 You can record video in wide mode in front camera.
Tips :
1) Turn on Camera2api in the settings.
2) While using front camera, Double tapping the camera switch changes the front camera into it's wide mode.
3) Use 4k rec under low light for much better exposure.
》 App Name - HedgeCam 2 : Advanced Camera.

Thanks . It works flawlessly

It does a pretty good job filming in the dark, indeed. But there seems to be no noise reduction at all in manual mode?

Great. What is the lowest shutter speed available?

• External implementation of noise reduction algorithms require level_3 support of ca2pi.
• Enabling the same isn't in my domain of development nor the developer's.
• A system developer needs to work on camera2api fix on galaxy A50 on system side.
• After that, you can also use my modded Gcam for A50 here :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a50/themes/google-camera-samsung-galaxy-a50-t3907288/page15
》How come manual shutter speed is available without camera2api? Why doesn't Google camera work yet ?
• OEM's like Samsung, Huawei etc tend to use their own API's for various purposes over/with Pure Api's from Google.
Hence, even due to limited functionality of pure Api's, various functionalities still can be enabled by Oem's, eg. Manual controls etc.
• Gcam natively requires pure Api's of Google, eg. Camera2api, etc.
Hence there's no other workaround for gcam.
Cheers !

[GCAM] Working GCAM Mod

MOTP-EDGBLK - UK Single SIM model.
Finally found a working GCAM Mod - port Nikita.
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-Nikita/
Working: Partial
Tested with NGCam_7.4.104-v1.6 (Nikita, 2020-09-13)
Auxiliary Cams (Wide+Macro)
Slow motion 1/4 and 1/8
Sabre Working
HDR/HDR+, Night Sight and Portrait Mode for BACK CAM and Selfie Cam
Panaroma / photosphere / playground.
Video - upto 4k @30fps / 1080p @60fps
Not Working - update 24th Sep 2020: Ultrawide camera takes blurry pictures with HDR+ on or HDR+ Enhanced on. TURN OFF HDR+ or HDR+ Enhanced to avoid blurry pictures.
Bugs: Selecting 4k video with 60fps setting renders the "video" portion of the app unusable and you cannot revert the setting. The only fix is to clear the app's cache. Seems like a hardware limitation as the Moto EDGE is only capable of recording [email protected]
Attached my custom XML.
Enabled auxiliary cams (wide/macro with icons).
16:9 aspect ratio
Video 1080p @60fps
G-AWB and Sabre Enabled.

Works well thanks!

Better than that dumpster fire, they call Moto camera.

Silly me. Thanks a million

Can't use wide camera. Should I look for another version? Thanks!

The latest version 1.7 works great. With some tweaks to the settings (sorry OP), the wide angle and zoom work perfectly with both regular HDR and HDR enhanced. White balance is pretty good with some modifications and image clarity + sharpness is a lot better.

Might need some better white balancing (I'm colourblind so I struggle with that) but everything else is pretty good. Using the latest Nikita here.

Agreed and thanks a million. Working like a charm. By far the best gcam option for now.

Question. Should the Moto camera tuner be disabled? Could interference from this, distort the results? I have my tuner enabled, would it make a difference?

FYI/PSA: The everything works config posted isn't working in the latest update 1.9, crashes. But app overall seems to be working well. I haven't played with configs too much before, but if I land on something I'm happy with, will share.

Ok, so i will be testing th 1.9 update - any configs which work good with Moto Edge?
Stock camera app dissapointed me so much

Using the version Nikita 2.0, of 104, with configs. Getting better, but is this the final version?

yes I understand that you use the latest version. But I'm asking about a config (.xml file), that works good with Moto Edge. There are configs for Moto Fusion+, G7 Power etc, but no Edge, so I assume that I need a config that has the same lenses as Edge (64, wide angle, telephoto and TOF).
Can you just show me what config you use, that works so well? Or you have your own? When I download 2.0 and have 3 options below (3X, 1X and 4X)
-3x is probably telephoto
-1x is main lens
-4x is wide angle (?) which just freezes and doesn't work

Anything on advancement? I'm using 8.1 of this app.

Thanks!
All working except Video for me - doesn't matter if i choose 30fps or 60fps, when i go Video is just close the app.

Question How well does mcpro24fps work ?

Hi, I'm thinking of getting a pixel 6 / 6 pro, but first I'd like to know what kind of video I can get from it.
Has anyone tested mcpro24fps ? What are the maximum resolutions available ? The maximum bitrate ?
Are the aux cameras available and working ? (It seems like the ultra wide isn't very wide or very good, but at least the main and zoom lenses ?)

For anyone who is curious, this is an $18 app mcpro24fps - professional manual video camera app.

It's also available for free if you download it through the developper's telegram discussion - but it's in russian. I learned where the main buttons are through screenshots and google lens translation, and it works well enough for me.
Not sure I'm allowed to post the link to the telegram here, but if I am I will !

i've dabbled with this app and filmic on previous devices and been left a bit frustrated. it all depends on your usual way of working. for a start you lose all gyro stabilization, which for me is a deal breaker. also with regards the pixel 6, my guess would be that you will also lose it's hdr.net video capabilities, which is an incredible feature.
on my p6p the default white balance for video (but not stills) is a little warm. i've found that if you tweak the white balance slider down just a tiny bit, the footage looks really amazing. if you also hop onto the MWP mod of the camera, you can bump the bitrate up to 100, vs the 69 of stock. using this mod you can control most aspects of the stills, saturation sharpness noise control hdr etc. i've yet to experiment whether those also apply to video.

Although as I already said, that version is only in Russian. What I usually do is take a screenshot, open it in google photos, tap the google lens icon and select "translate". So I can only read a few buttons at a time.
Also you will need to download and install any future updates by yourself.
If you've never used the app, basically tap the camera icon at the bottom of the screen, select one of the two top menus (with or without gpu, it determines wether the video feed will be encoded by the gpu or isp) then select 60 fps, and finally the highest resolution available.
Then a bit further down one of the options is a value in megabytes, that's the bitrate, push it as far as possible (before the selection turns red)
You can also check out the aux sensors by taping the button at the top-left corner.

So... if stabilization, hdr.net video and GCAM processing is out the window, what good is this app if it only gets fed the 12.5 MP downgraded version of a sensor that has not been properly optimized? If "saturation sharpness noise control" are of interest, wouldn't it be wiser to just shoot in RAW and then edit later on, ensuring that the "base" product is of higher quality?

The base idea of the app is that it gives you acess to the rawest output from the sensor. It supports better resolutions than the stock camera, in much higher bitrate. In theory, it also supports denoise and both ois and eis.
I made this post to check if all of these do actually work on the pixel 6 pro (including on the aux lenses) and what resolutions and fps combos are supported.

The only thing it might not have is hdr.net, and even that might be exposed as a video output from the camera api, so even that might be a possibility, just with a higher bitrate than what the stock app supports.
EDIT : The video feed isn't downgraded in any way, stabilization is supported, and it supplants gcam processing which isn't really good at video anyway (except maybe hdr.net, but we'll see).
