Everything I am going to mention in this post is based on HAL3 and EIS enabled P2 on Oreo roms with the two patches from Astridxx and Highwaystar enabled.
Firstly, some of the Camera apps with manual control:
1. AZ camera
2. One plus camera
3. Footej camera
4. Freedcam
5. Manual camera
6. Open camera
7. Proshot
8. Snap camera
9. HedgeCam 2.2
10. Moment pro cam
11. DSLR camera
12. Camera FV5
13, Bacon camera
and more...
Camera apps with built-in stabilization (or otherwise build prop edit)
1. Paranoid camera (built-in stabilization - works great)
2. AZ camera
3. Footej camera
4. Snap camera
5. Freedcam
6. Update- Quality camera. Link in post 2.
Now regarding my topic:
Everyone knows that by adding a line in build prop enables video stabilization on supported ROMs and camera modules. persist.camera.eis.enable=1 (don't use EIS capital )
But in P2 most camera apps video preview will give you a green screen, yet snapit, motocam, etc, will work but we will get choppy videos with only a bit of stabilization.
NOTE: Gcam ports / Footej camera and almost all other camera apps's 1080p, 720p, 480... video recording will not work after enabling EIS. Only 4 K video works (not much stabilization).
In my research I found out that these camera apps's video preview size is the reason for the green screen.
Solution: Changing the camera "video preview size" to 960p (1280x960).
In the above-mentioned camera apps only Snapcamera has the option to change video preview size. So you can use snapcamera to record stabilized videos till 1440x1080 resolution.
After enabling eis in build.prop you will see an additional tab in snapcamera settings video tab called as "stabilization" (I feel it is auto enabled even if you select it or not).
Selected video resolutions as - 1440x1080, 1280x960, 640x480 , 320x240 - works in Freedcam / Snap camera / AZ camera / Open camera. You can record nice stabilized videos.
Recommended: Freedcam, Snap camera, AZ camera.
Note: Only those camera apps which have the above-mentioned video resolutions will work.
Miscellaneous info:
1. For dark video issue with your current cam app, you can use HTC camera app, the videos are bright enough.
2. May or may not work- for better camera picture quality
Open media_profiles.xml found in system-etc folder
