Other helpful tips
To get higher quality videos you can optionally:
  • Switch MOD SETTINGSVideo encoder from H.264 to H.265 (at expense of compatibility, i.e. older phones won't play these, Telegram won't let you compress them)
  • Increase MOD SETTINGSVideo bitrate (causes videos to occupy more storage space)

Special thanks to
  • @M132 for spending nights with me reverse engineering the APK and libraries

Installed this camera mod on my rooted S7 G930F. Found only one problem: video record does not work correctly.

After recording is finished, playing the video is not possible. It will only show 1 or maybe 2 seconds of the video and then stops. But the recorded sound continues playing (like the screen is frozen, but the sound continues). Tried different video players, but that's not the problem. Also tried every possible video setting and even cleaned data/cache from the Camera app and also from ShootingModeProvider.

After this I uninstalled the mod and tried flashing it by TWRP. Still the same problem... any suggestions?

Are you using the UHFR modes? There's a bug preventing the videos from working in the slow motion editor atm, it'll be fixed in a future update. Non-UHFR modes (60 FPS and below) should be fine. You can also disable saving as slow motion in the settings

I don't mind that you have improved the camera mod in a lot of ways. Kudos it certainly takes a lot of time. It appears to be a much much more efficient way of doing it.

I know that you have referenced mine in many ways, I am just disappointed you never credited.
I started to work on this mod because I got disappointed by your one lacking such simple features as 2160p60 and 1080p240 support, so while your camera mod has indirectly affected the existence of this one, most of the work has been redone from scratch.

The only things I've taken from your mod here are mode and feature lists of camera-features-v7.xml. The APKs and libraries are directly based on stock ones (taken from official S7, S8 and Note8 ROMs), with me and @M132 spending nights to publicly reverse engineer them (see the linked Telegram group). Any similarities between the mods are coincidences, most likely because people think alike when it comes to resolving simple problems.

On my rooted S7 G930F:

All UHD modes: smooth video (no problems)
All QHD modes: frozen screen
All FHD modes: frozen screen
HD 30 FPS: shocking video (like it is very low FPS)
HD 240 FPS: smooth video, but you see a lot of pixels/dots (like it is very low quality)

The UHFR (>60FPS) modes will always be low quality, that's a limitation of the sensor. The other issues are weird though. Can you provide a logcat when trying to record with one of the modes with frozen screen?

Hey there. I am a complete noob to getting root access and then installing a modded application.

I have an S8 with Exynos and I have a few questions after I have gotten root acces via Magisk.

First, this just replaces the stock Samsung Camera app, with the altered Samsung Camera app right?
The quality in terms of dynamic range, noise etc. should be the same I suspect.
How does the auto focus perform at 4K 60fps?

I am very willing to root my phone and try this mod out, but I am also a bit intimidated.

Anyway, it seems that you put in a lot of effort, so well done!

Hello there
First of all, amazing work on this mod, it's awesome!
Question: does super slow mo work? Whenever I select it it says saving video even though I haven't started recording anything and the recording button is still there
Pressing the record button makes it say recording and the camera still moves all right but you can't exit the current screen (which still says saving video btw)
Does the feature work or is it a bug
Clearing shootingmodeprovider doesn't do anything.
Thanks again for your hard work

Edit: Forgot to add I'm using the S7 Edge G935F

any video which has stabilisation enabled(like fhd 30 whd 30) is not shot well, green lines appear in the video. some problem with stabilisation i guess. s8 exynos here.

Update:

I rooted my S8, just to try out this mod. I have tried out the LGcam app before, but that one was awful (noise and dynamic range were awful).

This mod is incredible! 4K 60fps footage is of the same exact quality as the 4K 30fps footage, but at double the framerate (duh).
Ofcourse since it is shooting in 60fps, low light performance and auto focus is similar to the standard 1080p 60fps mode I was used to.

I am going to be playing around with all the added options for some time.
Big thanks.

1. I get recording failed after several days. Clearing data and cache doesn't work.

2. The selfie pro mode is unstable, espeacially changing the color temperature. After tweaking some setting, the camera fc immediately.

Edit: After restarting, the recording problem has gone.
