Any slow motion video camera for nexus4?

I'll use this thread a bit for my own inquiry, so is there any available camera app that allows to change image quality and maybe postprocessing/compression quality?
Since Nexus4 is suppose to have same camera module by Sony than Iphone 4 & 5, the quality still isn't quite the same.

I hope Google makes some great improvements for the next os update 5.0 they already got the look on the OS which I love, maybe a white theme wouldn't hurt neither, but they need more software feature, Samsung does have some cool ones and I just don't like the Samsung look, I hate the color of the Os, I love HTC tho but I'm not sure about the HTC one

So i have searched through the forum and haven't found any answer yet. There is a cam mod by HyperX for the S3 and Note2, but i couldn't find out if there is a way to get this working on the Nexus 4.
Back in the old days where i used the Samsung i8910 HD HyperX had programmed a software which had a slow motion cam (Thank you Andy for your awesome support for the i8910 HD! ).
So i think if the very old i8910 HD had a slow motion cam (by the way it had symbian instead of android D there must be a way to bring a slow motion cam to the Nexus 4? So please help me and all other users who wants a slow motion cam.
And yeah i know i'm a noob so if i missed a thread which have a solution for my problem just say where and i shut up
Thank you for your answers and your help

*push*

Hmm, I'm sure someone would be capable of porting one if the s3 slowmo apps to the N4, it would be a great feature to add.

[Q] Best video recording app?

Hey all,
Sorry if this has came up before - given what the question is it wouldn't surprise me if it had!
Does anyone know what the, generally accepted as, best video recording app for our phones are? After coming from iOS, the camera functions are the only part of the phone that I'm finding it hard to match the iPhone.
I generally take a lot of videos and edit them. Mini-movies aren't aren't at all uncommon for me to film.
Whilst I'm still using my iPad for editing the films (iMovie and so on), I'm anxious to continue to use (and enjoy doing so) my S4 for video recording. My old 5S shot incredible video and even at lower resolution settings the output was generally smoother than the S4 shoots at the same settings.
If I'm stuck with the quality of the video recordings, that's fine and I'll make do. I would just prefer to find an app that can shoot at higher than stock bit rate etc and give me as many options (or close to) that the apps on iOS offers. I came to android as I absolutely LOVE using lollipop and the way it works is brilliant, so as said if I need to continue as I am that's fine. If it helps I'm using GPE 5.0.1 at the moment. Please not I'm not looking to start an iOS vs android discussion, just looking to find out what options I may or may not have and what I might be missing in the Play Store.
Thanks guys,
Pete

Just using this camera app and defo seems to give a better result than TW or other apps I've used in the past, quick question though cause I can't seem to find it anywhere .. Does it allow use of the front facing camera?

that's the only downside. it doesn't have front camera support. just use the stock camera for front camera video capturing. :fingers-crossed: :good:

Hello, and thank you for using XDA Assist!
It's probably a limitation of the camera itself, not dictated by any camera app.
At any rate (to see if I can prove myself wrong), I am connecting this thread to the forum your device experts can be found:
> Samsung Galaxy A Series > Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Please note, to respond to replies, you will need to be registered for an XDA account.
Hope this helps, and good luck!

Google Camera app and P8 lite

Hello there, i opened this thread just to talk and maybe get some ideeas for a better camera app.
Because i wanted to install Google Camera on my P8 Lite and i saw that its not in Google Play.
After some searches on web, i found out that GC is aimed for Nexus devices mainly. So i told myself.. ill find the apk and then i understood what happened. It seems that starting from version 3.1.021 video recording is no longer supported for some devices.
So, even if version 3.2.045 can be used to take pictures, for video we get all the time an error message. And even if by chance it starts, video records only in frames. After testing every available arm version, i found that Google Camera 2.7.008 from August 18, 2015 its the last compatible version that works foto/video on P8 lite.
So, why i to search for a new camera app? Well i got a lazy nature, i take photos every week and i found that many of them are blurry, 1/3 of 6 month of photos where trash. So i was "w*f.....". My old phone was a S3 mini, well using its camera app i had like 1/6 blurry photos.
I'm looking now for a photo app just like S3 mini camera app, if possible with selection scenes like portret, landscape, sport, party, sunset, sunrise, text, etc.
Any ideea what to look for ?
Regards, V.

Try open camera (https://goo.gl/r5qwIW).
To be honest I have tried several 3rd party camera app and compared it's picture quality with default camera. Even though default camera is slow but it's picture usually has less noise in it. If you want to make pictures less blurry use manual focus or pro mode.

Choppy whatsapp videos

Hello.
I would like to know if anyone is having the issue that I am having.
The problem is whenever I share a video that was filmed by me using the camera app, and share it via whatsapp, the resulted video is choppy, jittery and low resolution. It looks like it was filmed in slow motion, even though it wasn't, and the quality is really bad.
Tried switching from 1080 to 4K and also tried 30 fps and 60 fps and the result is the same.
Low quality choppy videos send through whatsapp.
I also tried HVEC format and still no luck.
I have an Oppo find x5 pro running the latest 12.1 color os and the latest version of whatsapp.

To ensure faster data transmission, Whatsapp reduces about 70% of image quality by default. It is a good feature when sending images for daily use. It adds that you can send it as a document.

My previous phone, an Xiaomi Mi10 5G, didn't had this problem.
I switched to oppo 2 weeks ago, and since then, the sent videos are really crappy.

Was there a difference in file size?

I didn't tried with the same file, but now my wife has the xiaomi and when she sends me videos through whatsapp, they are fine, they play normal. If I send her videos using whatsapp they look choppy, the video stutters and sometimes they look like they are filmed in slow motion, but the sound is normal.

Thanks for sharing. Sounds inconvenient. Hope it gets fixed in the next update

This is indeed a issue with the Oppo Find X5 Pro. Me and my colleague have the same issue.

I have reported this problem both to whatsapp and oppo.
Only whatsapp responded but with no connection to my problem. It was an automated response.

I'll ask oppo for you mate and ask them to see what's up.

Thank you!
Yesterday I installed the latest whatsapp beta, and with this version the video playback isn't as choppy and jittery as it was on the play store stable version, but the quality is really low.
I can see some small improvements, but not how it was on my previous xiaomi.

An update: all beta versions following 2.22.11.2 are worse in sent videos playback. The video is choppy and it looks like a fast photo collage.
But interesting fact: the selfie camera videos are sent in normal quality and the playback is nice and smooth.
I don't really know what else to do.
I've updated coloros to the latest A18 version today, but the whatsapp choppy video still present.
I have no answer from oppo team... I'm kinda disappointed.

No answers from either whatsapp nor oppo.
I've noticed on play store a review from another user of oppo find x5 pro that rated whatsapp 1 star and complaining about the same problem as mine.
Nobody takes any action.
It's very frustrating. I don't understand how selfie videos are sent normally and rear camera aren't.

It's also happening on my Brother's OnePlus 10 Pro though being a UK handset if running Oxygen OS still rather than ColourOS
Though I'm fairly sure they still share resource OS/Software wise

Try to send the video as a document works perfectly

Exactly the same here, Whatsapp video playback absolutely sucks. However it seems fine for whoever you send the video to, so that's something at least.

No, it's not fine for the people I'm sharing with. They told me that the videos I shared are choppy and laggy. I've tried every beta version and still no fix. It's like they don't even care...

Same problem with my Oppo Find X5 Pro here. It's something... far worse than the usual low quality granted by whatsapp on other devices. I think Oppo should fix this...

I really think that whatsapp should fix this. If I share the same video using Facebook messenger or telegram, the video is send fine.

Any answers yet, mate?

The only way I managed to send the video via WhatsApp without being choppy is I uploaded backup the video on Google Photos (Mode: Storage saver), then I deleted the original video from my X5 Pro. Open Google Photos then upload the video from there. If the original video is still on your device it will still be choppy, but if it's deleted and only available on Google Photos then it should be not choppy when you uploaded it on WhatsApp.
