4k Recording with "Open Camera" app possible?

Anyone know if a 3rd party app exists for successfu recording 4K/UHD on the G2? Like "OPEN CAMERA" from the playstore?
When I tested CloudyPro 3 rom , with OPEN CAMERA I managed to get the option to FORCE 4K/UHD recording, but it fails to work.
When I tested it with CloudyPro 2.2 rom, I get no FORCE option like above. at all.
Both of the above roms support 4k/UHD recording with no problems with the default camera app.
My goal is to get quicker and more focusing options than the stock recording app.
Thanks

Try LG Camera https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rubberbigpepper.lgCamera&hl=en , maybe you will get 4K option there

Thanks..Interesting. Didn't know there is a new version out that has 4k option (6.8) ...Just tried it, unfortunately can't get it to do 4k on the G2. When set to 4k, it actually records in 1080p no matter what settings, and it is laggy . Maybe their next version will work better.

That's unfortunate. Why don't you try xdabbeb's camefa mod?

Thanks for suggestion. That's the first mod I tried to get 4k. Great mod, however it's designed to allow better recording specs like 4k, etc, not really give more app features.

(Guide) Camera flash fix \weird green photo fix nougat (UPDATED HAL2 TOO)

HI,
i'm on the lastest Nitrogen Os rom. The rom is fantastic, despite the camera that act weird and it's too much instable (i have those problem on all Nougat Roms).
I found a Workaround to fix flash and camera derps (green\black photos).
Camera hal2 derps:
Derp1
Derp2
Roms with stablest camera i've tested: NitrogenOs, Dirty Unicors, Caf Aosp, CitrusCaf.
First, download (or buy) Snap Camera HDR Trial from playstore. Than go to:
-settings
-other
-scroll down to use camera2 API, tap and select force hal1 (if you can't, download a previous Snap Camera version, like 8.2.6)
-reboot
-done
UPDATE:
SNAPCAMERA HAL2 by @Shaky156 (Tested on Dirty Unicorns 7.1 by @poad42, if you try to other roms feel free to say if it works or not).
Use this camera if you want to avoid camera hal1. To avoid Camera switch crash, wait until focus finish. Expect more app crashes.

FOR VIDEOS:
-FOOTEJ CAMERA
FLASH FIX
FLASH FIX UPDATED
(tx to @hichaam, @Umang96)
This will fix camera in Nougat Roms?
-No\Yes. Only updated camera blobs can hard fix. But camera is STABLE now with hal1.
So why i should do that?
-If you make photos, this fix green screen and flash problems. But kills video in snap camera.
-For my phone, this is a STABLE way to make photos, as i like to shot pics with it.
Also expect some crash when opening to much camera apps. <--- fixed in last NitrogenOS
This is a workaround, we can't do nothing until xiaomi relases Android 7.0, or some other brand with sk5p3 camera sensor ( Ulefone Future, Samsung C series, Vernee Apollo Lite) do.
PS a copy of my post in other trhead:
CAMERA FLASH\RANDOM REBOOTS FIX:
-INSTALL NITROGEN OS (MAYBE WORK IN OTHER ROMS, BUT I VE TRIED IT ON NITROGEN, SO..)
-DOWNLOAD SNAP CAMERA HDR
-ENABLE IN SETTINGS FORCE HAL1
-REBOOT APP
-ENJOY YOUR FULLY FUNCTONIG CAMERA
FOR VIDEO:
-DOWNLOAD FOOTEJ CAMERA
-MAKE VIDEO
-- don't make videos with snapcamera because won't work.
Its important for you (until you answer to me: camera is working dude, even with api2.0 blablalba) that api2.0 are INSTABLE. They work for limited times, and 80% of times you get no flash, no manual ISO, reboots etc. Camera HAL1 will make our camera STABLE again, with flash synced in EVERY photos you makes. Only Videos won't work with HAL1 in Snap Camera HDR.
Also in snap camera you will find some interesting goodies for our crappy cameraphone. Its important that you will enable:
-ZERO STUTTER LAG (your device will capture the image at over9000 speedo)
-LENS SHADING (it gives better image quality in borders)
-MEMORY COLOR ENCHANE (better colors)
-DENOISE (remove the exagerate noise of our thin sensor)
-Sharpness -2 (remove the exagerate noise of our thin sensor)
So yes.. try it, for me its working for 2 weeks now.

Try to make multiple photos with flash. You will notice that camera can't sync it, or it will not start at all. Even with Footej camera i have Weird green screen, like many others.

I just tried in the dark room with flash on and auto focus on with footej and did about 20 shots, always worked...guess im lucky...but on all other ROMs it did not work or recording failed...

Flash in N roms works 70% of times first time u open camera (even less sometimes). It's a common problem of all roms because camera sources. This is the method to assure 100% working flash\camera with all tryng. Its normal that if you take 2 photos here and there, you will notice nothing. I take 40-50 photos a week with this phone (even more), so i need stable camera. And i can assure you that this is the only method that works until now with nougat.

Google Camera problems.

Hi everyone,
I hope this is the right section for this kind of questions.
Anyway, I'd like to know if someone can help me.
I'm absolutely not able of getting Google Camera to work.
I tried different version, I think the problem is caused by the fact that our phone has a SD801...
But I have no idea how to solve it.
Camera just crash as soon as I open it.
Thanks to everyone!
Lorenzo Benevento.

Not just coz soc is sd801
It is arm based
Google camera is nowadays built for arm64 architecture

And which version would work?
If there is one obviously!

The versions which came with nexus 6 would work
That will be around v3

I tried but I can't downgrade. How come? It shows "corrupted package".

i use Google camera 2.7 in my zuk z1

I downgraded to 2.7.010, It works and connect to camera but I'm unable of taking videos!
It start recording but when I tap on the stop icon it freezes and the only thing that I can do is to reboot the phone. Or close the app (but camera would be busy, so no tourch for example or no other photos until the next reboot).
magnet1215 are you able to take videos?

Try this snapdragon camera. It will crash on first pic taken, first video taken, first slow or fast motion video. But honestly I tried lot of camera apps and this is best one of all.

[REQUEST] Google Pixel 2 Camera Port

Hey @Arnova8G2
I installed the pixel camera port ( GCam5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.4 ) on my oneplus 2, but it force closes. I also tried GCam5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.3, it opens but gets stuck with a camera icon in middle with black screen.
I'm using los 15.1.
I have attached log and screenshot. It would be great if you could look into this.
Thank You

You can make a screenshot of the app camera2probe
I look at your logcat (but have to wait, a lot of logcat to read). Thank you

Go to this link and install "- v4.0: MGCB_7.0H_C2API_v.4.0_AllinOne_Full_Manual ".
Do not make changes to the settings. Use as it is. If force close happens, go to "About App" and clear the data.

Hi I m using OP2 and I downloaded this app and install it. But it never opens. Every time I try to open the app it stucks in a black screen and in the middle the camera icon. How can I run this in my OP2 please help.

Hey @Arnova8G2,
I also tried this apk
MGC_5.1.018.177470874.41362666_LOS-15.1_A7.0-8.1_MI5S_v2a
It opens and I can click pictures, but when I select portrait mode, it stucks with portrait icon with black screen. I have attached the log and screenshot.

Which ROM you are using??
cuz in My ROM Application is closed forcefully.

SM-910C Exynos camera crashing when recording videos

Any custom ROM I try, I can't even get the camera to run, any app that uses it crashes. But when I do get it, I can record the video itself but it crashes when I end the recording and nothing gets saved.
So far I've tried numerous Lineage OS 16.0 versions and Havoc 2.9, none which work

Have you tried clearing the camera’s cache files? If not, you can do so by following the below steps.
Open “Settings” on your Android deviceTap on “Applications*-> Application Manager”From the drop-down menu, make sure that you’ve chosen “All Apps”Find the camera app and open it, tap “Force Stop”, tap on “Storage " and " Clear Cache”
