[Q] Any slow motion video camera for nexus4?

Any slow motion video camera for nexus4?
like htc one and s4

I hope they do a port if that feature.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium HD app

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.

[req] mod camera s4 - increase fps in slow motion

hello guys! we need a developer to mod stock room for you to succeed to increase the frame rate slow motion. It would be great that he had a frame rate of 120fps ..... good job! (Maybe you can change the build.pro?)

**** want the 30mbit recording mod
dev please make that happen record 1080p 30mibit

TW camera already has that function.

Not at 1080p, it can't.
Whilst this would be immensely cool, I'm not sure if the sensor child handle it.

I know oppo find 5 is capable of doing it
Me Gusta!

Dear nino64,
AFAIK, our S4s can already take slow motion videos @1280x720 120 fps... But i am not sure... I have read this info in the slow motion settings of the S4 camera application...
Kind regards...

well thats probably hardware fault, as its not easy to record in slow motion specially when theres not being many other phones which had this feature before, so they need to improve it, if thats possible idk

No sorry. Record to 800 x 450 Low Quality. I ask mod for recording to 1280x720 in Hight Quality. Thanks

Only the Octa version (i9500) can record in slow motion 1280x720, the i9505 is limited to 800x450.
It's most likely due to a different sensor (Exmor RS in i9500 vs Exmor R in i9505, though I'm not sure if the i9505 sensor has been confirmed yet ), or it could be due to the different CPU / GPU in the i9500.

I did not know. Thank you. you can create mods for i9505 for recording in HD?

I'm not sure the hardware of the i9505 is able to do that, and if it is, I really wonder why Samsung put such a limitation on the i9505 (it's actually one of the only differences in the camera app itself, if not the only one, so why would they do that?)
I guess you could try the app from the i9500 to make sure though

The i9500 can do 1/2, 1/4 and 1/8 in 720p - 15 FPS.
Here's 1 video I made last month (1/8), though the focus isn't perfect, it was taken in the heat of the moment
I can try making another one later with more control on the focus.
I've split the video into 4 parts (.rar) since it's too big for an attachment, just unrar and it should work.

[Q] Nexus 4 Camera Improvement Topic

Hello Guys
We all know how poor is the AOSP's camera app by supporting features ( slow motion exc. ). And N4 has a bad video recording quality with 12mbps bitrate. We can improve it by a mod ( topic is at the second link i gave ) or with a program called LGCamera. Well there is no visible difference between 12mbps and 20mbps.
I made some research and found that these phones use the same Sony Exmor IMX111PQ image with N4.
- Samsung Galaxy S4 Active ( It supports slow motion feature )
- LG Optimus HD 4x
- LG Nexus 4
There are two topics i found that they are useful for this thread;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...vs-nexus-4-camera-recording-v0-2-avc-t2159076
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/development/mod-increase-camera-audio-video-image-t2039553
How can we improve the Camera App ? Is there any port from Samsung Galaxy S4 Active ?

I would love slowmotion feature. Its awesome on iphone.

First of all at the brochure of IMX111PQ it says that the sensor can take 720p at 60FPS.
And we know examples of Snapdragon S4 Pro can take 720p 90FPS videos. So where is the problem ? I think it's defintly software limitations.

They share the same hardware but different camera drivers, that's one of the reasons we have such poor camera quality... mostly is bad-optimised drivers. (the sensor has some blame on this too).
Our hope is to get new camera drivers with the new Google Camera that has been announced some weeks ago, if not, it'll be more like another camera that you can find at playstore.

Well it can be the optical stuff also ( optical elements ). But its not only the video quality. The camera app is very stricted. There is no options to select.

Bump. I like my N4, and before making my decision on going on another phone, the only thing I do not like is the camera. Takes longer to focus, bad image quality (unless i photoshop afterwards) . So isn't there any way of improving it?

Time to say goodbye and look to the Galaxy K Zoom

As one of the first to own one of these cameras on launch day, I have been pretty much promoting it everywhere and certainly contributed a lot in these and other similar forums. But as time has passed it's evident that Samsung has no love for this first edition as they have failed to keep it updated. Even the second edition offers little improvement, just a slight memory increase and minor CPU increase,it still runs Jelly Bean. It's a real shame as these two had so much potential.
The Galaxy Camera takes superb photo's but the interface lags and the start up is slow and it lacks so much that Kit-Kat could fix. Then there's the various scene modes found on the Galaxy S4 and S5 that aren't available on this capable camera.
So.. I recently played around with a Galaxy S4 Zoom and apart from only having 10x zoom rather than 21x and slightly smaller screen the whole experience seemed better. Which prompted me to look at the upcoming GALAXY K ZOOM. Released this week in the UK sporting a 20.7MP camera, better connectivity, double the ram, faster processor, much better battery life, Xenon and LED flash, NFC, many more scene choices, Android 4.4.2 and a lot more specs too many to mention... all in a lighter smaller chassis, and all for £360 (and includes a case thrown in for pre-orders worth £20) means I am done with the Galaxy Camera and today I have ordered the K Zoom.
I hope things for you guys improve, but I wouldn't be holding my breath sadly.
So, farewell Galaxy Camera forum, it's been nice knowing you.

I want to order a Galaxy K Zoom to try in the US but I'm not able to buy one because they won't ship to US. You'll have to let us know how it is.

21x optical zoom with 16mp is much better than 20mb with 10x optical zoom.
Also now that the galaxy cam 2 is rootable, It's a pretty awesome, snappy camera

It is, but I need a pocketable camera that can also make and receive phone calls and is much more likely to be updated by Samsung. The original camera was once snappy but it just failed to be updated making it sluggish and buggy. The pictures I have seen taken from the K Zoom are just as impressive as my GC1
I am receiving it tomorrow and will post up a small review here.

So, I got the Galaxy K Zoom yesterday and my first impressions are WOW! It has far exceeded my expectations in many ways.
The build quality is really good, it feels solid and it looks really nice (I have the black one). I thought the screen might be sub standard being only 720p but it really is sharp and bright and although super AMOLED the colours are not saturated at all. They have got the balance right in my opinion and the size is right too. It doesn't feel particularly bulky or heavy and the casing is grippy.
I didn't have a lot of time but I did a quick comparison test with photographs taken from it in the same spot with my Galaxy S4 Zoom and the Galaxy Camera. I have to say the shots on the K Zoom at 10x optical were on a par with the Galaxy Camera and better than the S4 Zoom. I also tried 20x zoom that's 10 optical +10x digital and the results were far better than I expected, actually they were great. Low light level shots came out better than the Galaxy Camera as did the video recording.
There are tons of scene modes and not forgetting the excellent AF/AE mode – This lets you choose separate parts of the picture to act as exposure metering and focus points. The only thing missing oddly enough is the tilt shift (or selective focus) as seen on the S5, I am not sure why that wasn't included. I also thought there was mean't to be an LED flash in addition to the Xenon, for video use but that's missing and there's no notification LED. But no great loss.
But overall, it a massive improvement over the S4 Zoom and it's definitely good enough to replace the Galaxy Camera. It's pocketable, has full mobile phone function, better screen, battery life, interface and Android Kit-Kat on board. Missing only a tripod mount (I bought a JOBY grip tight to solve this) and that extra 10x zoom.
I have only been using it for a day but I am bowled over. I have no regrets replacing the Galaxy Camera with this baby.

Photos? Of the phone/camera and from the camera?

Fore 21x optical zoom to 10x seems like a poor trade off for enhanced features else where. Anyways I'm glad most of the market share your opinion because it enabled me to pick up the galaxy camera 2 for 200 bucks cheaper!

No not yet, I will give it a few weeks firstly in case any OTA upgrades come along (likely as it is a new device) and secondly when a suitable root method is found. There's little information on rooting this at the moment.

That sounds like a good idea in waiting a bit. I made a request of Chainfire for an autoCF-root for the GalCam2.

Haha, I already own a Note 3 - its camera isn't bad in my opinion but the K zoom is miles ahead of course!
The KZ is not showing any lag so far, battery life is incredible. I spoke to another owner who said he got 700 pics taken in one day before battery died. Now that's awesome. I will post some pics here soon.

Note3 cam is very unrealistic its acceptable only under strong sunlight ... It has a very bad dynamic range too.. With a very high contrast ratio. Not to mention rediculous low light images even with flash on the images are so grainy and the least movement makes it blurry.
I have s4 zoom too .. But stupidity I blowed air into the cam to remove dust it sadly stucked in between the lens and makes visible gray dots all over the image not to mention how laggy it becomes after installing viber facebook twitter and whatsapp
Am ready to swap with the Kzoom when its released in my country.

I bought my K Zoom today in Hong Kong.. this thing is amazing. I would say NEXT version Samsung will nail it and make it perfect.. but this is a huge improvement over all the previous variants of Samsung's camera/phone combined.. can't compare. The only thing this needs to be perfect in my opinion, aside from snappier processing because this "6 core thing" is all hype and few punch, is a smaller zoom because 10x is not necessary and too bulky, and a larger sensor.. from the few snapshots I've taken today low light performance is still just soso. But I must say under good lighting conditions the image quality is fantastic and the optical quality of the zoom lens itself is extremely good. I will try to upload some photos later or tomorrow.. And needless to say I am eager for recovery and root as this has some serious limitations till then and endless bloatware that needs out..

1000fps slow motion ? How to enable?

Hello. It is possible ?

The S8 doesn't support 1000fps . Your thinking of the new Sony phone. Not possible on the S8 iam afraid

Not possible at all... Max is 240fps.

But google says it is possible... sorry for this thread.

Then ask google.

imx400 is the only 1000FPS capable sensor listed on Sony site, we have imx330.

soby is going to make its new sensor exclusive to it flagship at least for now

There was app to check hardware details... Camera senor etc can't remember the name though

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I spoke to samsung regarding this feature twice on live chat at different times and one person said that the s8 is capable of recording 480fps and the other time i spoke they said that the s8 can record 960fps.
Heres that chat transcript
[John(Agent):22:27:58] For the Samsung S8, it can record videos at 960fps.
[John(Agent):22:35:49] By comparison, the iPhone 7 Plus can only record slow motion videos up to 240fps, while the recently released LG G6 is capable of recording up to 480fps. Samsung’s Galaxy S8 camera also surpasses Sony’s newly announced Xperia XZ Premium which can record videos at 960fps.
Although when i asked him how to record 960fps he was telling me the usual method by going on slow motion mode and just hit record. So i told him that this way i end up recording at 240fps. And then he said he'll email the relevant department and do some enquiries and then email me the results..its been almost 1week and i have no email

Don't ask Samsung customer services. They live off a script in front of them. They've probably never even touched a samsung phone in their lives.
You have the phone so if you can't find it then it doesn't exist.
Don't waste your time. The specs are easily to find in a 5 second search on Google.

The exynos chip is capable of 960fps, sd is not, im wondering if a camera mod with root is able to enable this

You were talking about 960 fps and I don't even know to take slow motion videos
