Is there a way to allow recording more than 5 minutes timelapse and 60 fps?
my will not let me record more than 5 minutes and that's a problem :(:(:(
Anything in UHD is limited to 5 minutes.

60fps is FHD and HD and is not limited. Are you sure your 60fps (which is only available in FHD and HD) is limited? Cause there's no limit on mine.

Edit: wow! Scratch that! Although no 5 min limit indicator appears (as in UHD) , the limit is there.. Now I need to check whether 30fps FHD is limited!

I 've manage to set it as a system app and overcome the sd problem....but my problem is that now I can't access the camera from the lock screen and from the hardware buttons ....is there any solution ?
Yeah, that's the problem. Move v10 from lg camera folder to privapp and change the name. Bring back original g4 camera app to lgcamera folder with proper name. Reboot your phone. Launch original camera via app drawer for the first time. Now you should have 2 camera apps.

Thanks so much for this application . Manual settings on the video are excellent. I thought about changing my LG G4 and buy LG V10, but I do not feel need, because of you . Thank you again...:good:

Pros and Cons of G5 camera vs stock G4
+ Timelapse of up to x60 (you can do this much better with lapse it app)
+ Take a selfie by just holding your face still a little annoying because it takes pictures itself. The hand things is also available like on stock)
+ Looks much nicer
+ Some menu buttons rearranged better
+ Replace stock camera app fully
+ Takes pictures and videos without bugs

- I found that sliding the manual focus up and down was not as smooth but choppy
- I had a glitch (see attachment) when stopping the dual camera recording.
- The steady camera feature is really bad on g5 and g4 because of how it distorts the video
- All help text is so small, you really can't see anything at all.
- Need root and possibly backup to install.

Pros and Cons of v10 camera vs g4 stock and g5
+ Manual video iso, exposure and focus
+ Manual mode microphone direction
+ L/M/H bitrate mode for manual video
+ Frame rate options for manual video. UHD has 1fps, 2fps, 24fps and 30fps so this could be used for the time lapse feature. FHD up to 60fps and HD up to 120fps
+ UHD mode disables any stability and ois so you won't have that distortion :)
+ Can choose direction of microphone, amplify up or down, remove wind noise and record from the headset mic in manual recording
+ L and R microphone channels visible on screen in manual recording
+ Install easily as a regular apk and keep your stock camera without needing root
+ Very stable and no bugs (used it for 2 months)

- Cannot save to external sd card unless you convert to system app. (I haven't been able to do this successfully)
- Doesn't replace the stock camera unless you manually uninstall it. I'm not sure if you can set it to open from the lockscreen swipe shortcut or volume button double tap.
- Resolution buttons in menu appear twice (just a minor aesthetics bug)
- Looks like stock G4 app not the nice g5 redesign
- Can only timelapse in 1fps and 2fps mode and not as many choices as on g5.
- BUG: if you turn your volumes down, the shutter sound goes but when you stop recording a video, there is a ding noise.

As mentioned, the lapse it app on the play store (paid for full version) works much nicer for timelapse because it periodically takes a picture and you then render these into a video. This avoids the 5 minute limit for the LG apps and doesn't get the phone really hot and eat up battery. But it is limited to 1080p recording.

I have yet to find a time lapse app that can do long shutter timelapse. As in shoot a low iso (preferably 50), long (like 10 second) shutter, image every say 30 seconds. Can lapse-it do it?

I have tried camera apps (freedcam, proshot, open camera) but they are buggy on this feature on G4.

Nope, no manual settings but you can lock the exposure and white balance. I.e. you could point at a dark place and lock it and then point it at your real subject ect.

The V10 app could do 1fps with any iso and up to one second exposure time (obviously no more possible)

Alternatively, record a normal video at any fps and speed it up on a PC or with Power Director which works really really well (paid version has full HD and no watermarks)

Yeah I checked the comments of people with a G4 and one or two of them mention there's no shutter adjustment.

My problem is not speeding a video up, what I want to do is a star-lapse so I need long shutter and repetition. I just need to be able to take the series of photos. From there I could do anything on a pc.

Thanks anyway.

Oh okay. For that, you can use your regular stock camera app however you like and then setup a macro to press the shutter periodically.

This app works for me but you need root.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.x0.strai.frep

From the main menu, select 'manage traces'
Then create a sequence
Add a control of pressing the Enter key
Set your interval and number of times to loop
I also set it to only run if in the camera app.
Once the camera app opens, a play button appears over the screen to start the macro
(See screenshots)

You can then use your regular manual camera settings.

Then download a macro to tap the shutter button as frequently as needed. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.prohiro.macro
Yeah thanks, been searching that kind of side solutions, but I'm stock. Only way to root marshmallow is unlock the bootloader and I don't want to do that with all these bootloops happening.

Only thing working right now is use the voice feature for taking the pictures. Record a suitable sound and have it repeat at wanted intervals. Phone does everything, plays the sound and shoots photos. Only problem is, the environment has to be relatively quiet for the camera app to pickup the sound (that the phone itself generates ha ha).

I'm on v20d-EUR-XX, SimpleGX-1.4.7-KERNEL, Camera-60fps-MOD, xposed-v86.

Installed (copied) LGCameraAppV10_v4_by_yener90.apk to /system/app and restarted:
- can't save on SD-Card
- crashed when switching to front camera

Cleaned memory and moved to /system/priv-app and restarted:
- crashed when switching to front camera
- saving on SD-Card works fine

Cleaned memory and deleted app form /system/priv-app - no restart.
Installed app from SD and still no restart:
- switching between back and front camera works
- saving on SD-Card works

Rebooted:
- can't save on SD-Card
- switching between back and front camera works

File rights under system where always 644.
:confused: Any idea how I can solve this mystery?

-- edit --
Solution found in #542:
Install in /system/priv-app AND normal from SD. :good:
