I used the total commander app to remount etc in read write then renamed the existing file, copied it over to another location, edited it on my pc then copied it back and changed the permissions to match the previous xml file. The xml file has profiles that limit the max bit rate. Look for the lines that say
OK.
Yup it's down for me too. I get fc or complete reboots a little too often when using 4k recording with the 50mbit Unlimited so was hoping to try some others to see if they aren't so fubared.
If that's a Qualcom version then yes it should work just fine. Only the Qualcom soc supports the 4k mode. Quality increase? Yes because it uses less compression. Downside is larger file sizes.
Ok. And what does this exactly increases ? Picture or video quality ? And by how much ? Thx
The increased bitrate is only for the 4k recording I think. That's all this mod does in addition to making recording file size possible to be unlimited. Yes it applies to the N9005 version (just checked). The default bitrate for 4k is set at 50mbit (I think) which is a bit starved especially when panning around you will get jitter. So doubling the bitrate to 100mbit gives a noticeable improvement. Quantitatively would be hard to say. I can't just say "up to twice as good." Try it yourself and see. Just be sure to backup your original file first by changing the extension to something like .bak in case you want to quickly revert. I'd choose the very last one, 100mbitUnlimited. Just remember the unlimited will fail you if you are making a long file over 4GB if your sd card is only formatted as fat32. You need to format it as exfat I believe. I haven't made a test video file that large yet so unsure what the internal sdcard is formatted as actually but the external one is up to you of course.Ok. And what does this exactly increases ?

Also does this work on the internation version n9005 ? I am rooted and using omega rom.
Which one should i actually download ? http://kevinrocksman.com/?dir=alexhc18/Mods/Camera/Apks
Fair enough , but i thought this increases picture quality or 1080p video recording. I never shoot @ 4k as i do not have a tv that supports a resolution of 4k. Does this increase anything else apart from 4k bit rate ?The increased bitrate is only for the 4k recording I think.

Oh hey op, glad to see the links are working again
I decided to poke around today and figured out (cheers kevinrocksman & alexhc18) how to raise both the 4k and 1080p bitrates as well as 100% image quality on 4.4.2 TW.
Here is my modified SamsungCamera2.apk file with the following bitrates:
4k @ 80mbit
1080p @ 22mbit
192kbps audio for both
100% image quality (uncompressed)
Working great on my N9005
