Was amazed the G4 wouldn't record video's at 60fps so decided to alter some files to make it work.

After flashing the mod using TWRP you will have another FullHD resolution mode but this time at 60fps, see screenie:



When selecting this mode the framerate will jump from 30 to 60 (in sufficient light):



I also increased the bitrate and the photo quality is upped to 100% percent as well. Note: both will increase the file sizes by a large amount! Decreased the threshold where you can still take flash shots from 15% to 5% battery.

There's also a version with a much higher bitrate (from 30Mb/sec to 64Mb/sec) when using the UHD camera. Do note, this increases the filesize when making movies by a *large* amount :cool:

When not satisfied with the mod simply flash the stock settings file and all will be reverted :good:

60 fps camera mod

60 fps camera mod + 40Mbit UHD

60 fps camera mod + 48Mbit UHD

60 fps camera mod + 56Mbit UHD

60 fps camera mod + 64Mbit UHD

Revert to stock

Any 4k and 1080p video samples from this?
The 1080p 60fps results are of very low quality imho. Mega loss of detail, even with a much higher bitrate setting. Almost as if the camera/phone can't keep up with the data, but that can't be the case as the UHD 56Mbps results are razor sharp.

Played a lot with various settings but systematically the 1080p 30fps videos contained much more detail (like for example in foliage). For now the 1080p 60fps is only handy for moving objects but for detailed stuff I would still recommend the 1080p 30fps mode.

Will make some quick videos from out of my window here and upload them to Mega. Will post today when there's time :)
