How can I shoot 120 fps video on Galaxy S4? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I see on YouTube there are some 120 fps videos supposedly shot on Galaxy S4. However, I don't see a slow motion or 120 fps option in the camera on my phone.
That said, I'm using a custom ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...lop/exclusive-antaresone-alucard24-s-t3066696) + GAPPS.
Even after trying a few cameras from the play store (Focal, Google Camera, etc) I can't seem to find one that does 120 fps.
Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.
EDIT: Sorry, mods, I should have posted this in the general section not dev.

@RowanDDR
The only possibilty I know to take pictures in 120fps on a i9505 is to push 120 times per seconds the camera button:fingers-crossed.

You should be on a touchwiz rom to be able to shot slow motion videos at 120fps

Awesome video potential

I've just videoe my TV screen (with ceiling light above me too)
The stock camera app recording was fuzzy around the edge (grainy) and the TV picture wasn't that clear at all (was half zoomed in)
So then I used the LG camera app. Turned FPS to 60 and rate to 10mbit... EPIC!
Yes it uses more space, but the quality is amazing!
Anybody wanting to test video capability, download LG camera app, set FPS to 60 and check it out! (it doesn't look,great until you start recording)
Am just uploading a sample,video which is on highest settings in LG camera app. It's a whopping 250mb for just under a minute!!

Here's the sample
Not bad for an indoor false light video of a TV! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWq1CVkuwNU&feature=youtube_gdata_player

what video settings did you use, what bitrate did you use. the samples good for the condition, i think we need to test this in normal daylight to see what it can really do. I took a video 32 seconds and it was 80mb

Its in the play store, just search its called LG Camera.
If this is the app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rubberbigpepper.lgCamera&hl=en
then 60fps not supported, I just checked it out, 1 file on 30fps and 17mbit, the other file at 60fps and at 60mbit or whatever it was. Both files are at 29fps, so until sony adds a [email protected], I don't think it will be supported.

MX Player detects 59,4 Hz!

That is something else, fps means frames per second and i have just checked on my pc and the videos max out at 30.1fps.
Well in this case Hz and fps actually are the same, as long as we are talking about the captured framerate and not the outputted one, which can very well differ.
Still you're right! MX Player is detecting bull****, Media Info on my PC does show 29,716 fps.
Would have liked it to by different though, 60fps would have been great for some slowmo action

nah im sorry Hz and fps are 2 completly different things.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hertz
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frame_rate
MX player indicated correctly, it just didnt show you fps
Hz describes a frequency and just means "per second" and normally when I use it to describe framerates people do understand what I mean, even if fps is the better word
If you take a look at my earlier Screenshot you will see that MX Player never claimed it to be Hz, it just says "Bildfrequenz", which means framerate, and does not use any unit.
you're right, the quality seems much better with lgCamera. :good:
EDIT: also took some pictures but the quality of them does not seem to be improved.
Well either way, whether it improves FPS or not (which I didn't check it.actually did), it does improve the video massively. That video was captured using the highest bitrate, which is what defines the quality of the video
video. You don't have to use maximum setting all the time, but it truly is much better than the stock app.

[Q] Choppy (low frame rate) 1080p video recording with stock i9505G

I ordered the i9505G directly from the Google Play store. Since day one I noticed that the frame rate during 1080p video recording is pretty choppy. It doesn't seem to be 30fps. So I returned it and got another one. The second i9505G also seems to have the same issue.
I am quite surprised and disappointed because on my GS3 I was able to record in 1080p quite smoothly... and yet on the GS4 it seems choppy. Anyone else have this experience?

A bit more info. I dug a bit more into the issue and it appears that the video recording frame rate is capped at about 16fps on the i9505G. That's visibly very choppy. Anyone else experience this problem?
I have a I337M (Canadian version) on which I installed a GPE ROM and I'm experiencing this same frame rate issue. A real bummer since I love the AOSP mojo. I use the S4's camera alot so this is a show stopper for me. I guess it's back to stock since there doesn't appear a fix or even an acknowledge of the issue by either Google or Samsung.
You guys do know that there is a modded aosp camera that can record smooth 30 fps/60 fps right? Downside is HDR doesn't work ^_^

HELP! OPT 1080p 60fps?

Hi, I have been looking everywhere but never found a good answer. I have seen some people posting videos on YouTube with the OnePlus Two filming at 1080p 60fps. My interest isn't in filming in real 60fps but I had 60fps 1080p slow motion on my OnePlus One and was really satisfied with the final results.
Can anyone please tell me how can I enable this on my OnePlus Two? Any app? Tried CameraNextMod (this one blocks the slow motion function when in 1080p), Cinema FV-5 (which I use mostly and it does give me the option to film how I want but it still records at 30fps), Open Camera and a couple more I don't remember and the original camera app only allows for 720p 120fps but it doesn't satisfy me at all, especially the quality of the video.
I would really appreciate some help on this subject and sorry if I posted in the wrong place or something like that. I'm new posting around here.

Recording 1080p video with 60fps?

Dear community,
our HTC U Ultra cannot record 1080p with 60fps by default. However, the snapdragon 821 is capable of recording fullhd with this framerate as other phones with this cpu proof.
Is there there any way or app to enable fullhd with 60fps?
I have tried several apps like Filmic Pro, Open Camera and cinema fv-5 already and none of these apps allow to enable 60 fps.
Is there another way?
Thank you.

The google camera ports support it!
Keep in mind that you need more light. So don't expect good results in low light situations.

Thx. Have you got Oreo? Was wondering if it was anything new for the cam app.
Thank you very much madphone for pointing me in the right direction The Google Camera App with HDR+ works perfect for my needs and produces beautiful 1080p60 videos!
For videos the viewfinder works also very smooth. For pictures the viewfinder is laggy, as mentioned in the linked thread.
Video files are always safed to the internal storage but as the ulra has at least 64gb of internal storage the videos can be manually copied to the sdcard from time to time.
btw: I am aslo still on android 7.0 at the moment with a european device.

I'm only getting 30fps 1080p, I tried the google app.

well this sucks cuz this phones hardware is totally capable of 1080p 60 fps but for some ****ing reason HTC doesnt allow us !:crying:
alright so i have tried the google camera app and yes it record 1080p 30 fps even when i choose 60 fps but i did notice something really weird. when choose 60 fps the video size is always and i mean always way bigger than when i choose 30 fps i dont really know why this is the case and am really confused because i come out with 2 identical videos with the same frame rate at the same resolution and when is about more than 60% larger than the other! so i dont know howto explain that
one more thing is that it might actually be a hardware problem maybe the sensor isnt capable of 1080p 60 am just assuming as i dont really know any way if any of you guys found any thing that could help us out with this problem please let us know
and have a nice day
Maybe the metadata is just wrong. I will try later.

Yes. Try Snap Camera for example.

Best camera for YouTube videos?

Hi, pals.
I'm planning to install the Aspire ROM again but I'd like to know the best camera in my case to choose on recovery... I know that some options are available on the AROMA Installer... Don't suggest me the stock one, please.
I just need a camera that the frame rate of the movies made matches with the frame rate on YouTube when the movies are uploaded.
For exemplo... I remember that I recorded some videos on 30 fps or 60 fps, I don't know very well... But on YouTube the videos appeared as 50 fps or something like that...
And I'm recording videos for YouTube so it would be cool to upload on this site the movies with the same frame rate that I really choose record...
I'm planning to come back to a custom ROM because my phone isn't so fast and is being hot frequently... And also because I'm missing some new features...
Thank you so much.
Try Open Camera and A Better Camera as well.
