[MOD] Camera mod v2. Improve 4K 2160p birate, 1080p 60fps and camera compression

[Hendrickson]

This mod is like the G2 camera mods. Same concept. The 4k video on the G3 is great, however when recording water or the sky you do notice that the birate could be better. 30mbps is ok, but not on a UHD or 4k monitor or TV. Its set by LG to keep the file size down of course and maybe due to micro sdcard IO speeds. But a quick media_profile.xml edit and this can remedy the pixelation due to low bit rate. Going past 40mbs might cause stutter. I'm testing higher birates.

The experienced user can do this themselves of course, simple media_profile edits. But this is aimed at people that don't want to risk editing the media_profile.xml or new to this and what the easy path.

How to apply:

Unzip and replace the attached media_profile.xml with the included one to system/etc overwrite it and reboot. (Use root explorer or any good root file manager) Tested and working on my G3. I have also set JPEG quality to 100% on all modes. This gives a very slight improvement to photos and a minor file size increase (~5%)


Changes:
Version 1
Bitrate on 4K videos increased from 30mbps to 40mbps
Photo jpeg quality compression set to 100

Version 2:
Replaces the default 1080p 30fps to 1080p 60fps @ 30mbps

Not at all, I hope you can mod the apk and make the photo quality much better. Too much over sharpening on lg's part.

you can count on me, except I don't have G3 yet.

I'll be available on July 12, hopefully my G3 will be in my hands by that time.

I have Panasonic x920, so I'll be able to compare.

Very easy. Overwrite the default 1080p profile to 60 fps increase bitrate to 30mbps or higher. I tested it and it works.
I'll update the media profile xml soon for those that dont like to edit

The media_profile.xml v2 edit is up. Adds 30mbps 1080p at 60fps over the default 1080p FHD profile

Replace the file and reboot

I saw the samples from the slow motion feature ([email protected]) and they're not so good. If it possible to make it better that would be awesome!

:good:

 

[Theguru1]

Has anyone done a comparison [email protected] vs [email protected]?

is it a massive difference (visually)??

 

[jms.flynn]

Not sure if this is possible or not. I have been using this mod and pictures do look great and the bit rate is noticeably better.

One thing I would love is to be able to record 1080p videos at 24fps. I loved the look and feel it gave my videos on my lumia 1020.

Thank you very much.

Actually I want 59.94, not 60fps.

Can it be arranged?
