I have the XT1640 variant of the G4 Plus. Im noticing a problem in the camera app. It affects every camera app that I tested.
When I try to record a video, the image is very slow and choppy. The video itself looks fine, but while recording the image I see on the phone looks very slow. It distracts me a lot when trying to record anything.
Anyone know why is that and how can I fix it?
Thanks a lot

Im running LineageOS 14.1, unlocked bootloader and Magisk rooted (core only mode).
I've tried using Motorola Stock camera app (flashed) and the default LineageOS camera app. Oh, and I had the same problem when I was using stock ROM.
Sent from my Moto G4 Plus using XDA Labs
I had similar issue with all custom roms. Camera became too laggy while recording videos, works fine in sock naugat.
I tried moto camera, snap camera, Google camera, cameringo. But all failed.
Only Footej seems to work. But it had slow transitions between switching mods.
The only solution I found for this is HTC camera. It works perfect for me.
Check and reply if it works.?
I think it's a design failure (or limitation) of the device, because it happened on every rom that i used. I notice tons of heat when the lag occurs, usually it's noticeable when i record in 1080p quality, by at least 10 minits (if i use the dual led's to record it occurs much sooner).
I do not know if it's the msm_thermal throttling the cpu, or if the eMMc chip gets really hot and cant manage all the data that the camera (actually the cpu) tries to store there.
It's a high-end camera managed by a mid-range CPU, SD617.
Anyway, if you record in 720p quality this issue surely wont exist, in my case, i have not any kind of lag when i record in 720p.

.the delay you are experiencing is because of stabilization. In default moto camera app, at the top left corner, hand icon. Turn it off, problem solved

Yes, I have figured it out a while ago. Even so, thank you very much, it was really annoying
So, its known Lenovo P2 (kuntao) has camera bug when using HAL3 mode with RAW capture, it look like pink lines instead of preview and captured pictures. I fixed this ****, now all HAL3 apps working fine. Google camera mods working including HDR+ mode.
changelog:
v1
*Initial release - fixed raw photo
v2
* Fixed issue with video recording in Lineage Snap camera, less changed bytes
* Please test and write review if this version all fine to you, if its fine, will be included in next Lineage releases.
v3
* Only 2 bytes changed compared to stock lib, so have to be least negative impact on previous working apps as possible. Please report if it breaks something.
choose one of the attachments depending on what rom you using. If you have treble enabled rom please use kuntao_fix_main_cam_v2_8.1treble.zip (149.0 KB) and if you using 7.1.2 based or 8.1 with no treble use kuntao_fix_main_cam_v2_7.1.zip (149.2 KB)
Install it using recovery and test camera apps. I have tested Google camera mod MGC_5.1.018.177624777-41364271.apk (BSG, 2018-07-12) from https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/ . It has working HDR+ mode when choosing Nexus 6P model.
If it fixed camera for you, I will appreciate small donation https://www.paypal.me/VitaliyTomin
And second small fix is for those who want to use front cam in Gcam. Set black level 16 for front camera, or you will get green/yellow tint.
What about the dark video in both front and back from default camera
Sure i will donate 100rs
Don't you have paytm?
It works! I am on Arnova 7.9 official, the one with a red link on celsoazevedo link.
Anybody upload some sample photos and specify the (config) details if applicable.
Can I just flash this as a new user ? Do I have to flash anything else
@highwaystar_ru add portrait fix in topic too
Amazing job!
With official LineageOs 15.1 the pictures are a little pink-ish to me.
Damn it worked.
using latest beta version GCam_5.3.015-Pixel3Mod-Arnova8G2-v4Beta4.apk by Arnova8G2 and portrait mode is damn fine.
Everything is working except slow motion video.
Thanks @highwaystar_ru and @celoxocis
I was hoping that mike would do it didn't expected from you guys and after reading @celoxocis comment few days ago about some imx258 blob problem i thought this day will never come.
Official lineage oreo and now gcam. You guys rocks.

@highwaystar_ru did all the hard work!
i was simply supporting him in trying to find possible proper alternative blobs and checking their content using hex values. while he spend days with IDA to make the original blobs work!
ne never gave up! the results speak for themselves!
Good work @highwaystar_ru , did you take library of p2 and you fixed it or did you ported from another device?
Photo quality is astounding ! Using latest camera mod from the provided link.
Many thanks !
When using treble and LOS 15.1 - will the mod survive system updates, being in the Vendor partition ?
on the latest beta. I noticed when it is to dark and you switch to front camera. it crashes the app. anyone know a possible fix for that? I remember reading something on a OnePlus subforum. but can't remember where.

I have tried front camera on almost all lighting conditions just to tried what's working and not. I haven't encounter any crash on low lighting (i have tried even in complete dark too) but i have face 1 crash using front camera in outdoor lighting. It just freeze for 1 second and then crash. I have changed some setting in the app.
Look at the hdr+ photo it's just not look like it's from our camera

I went back to MGC_5.1.018.177624777-41364271.apk which is rock stable. in the beta the front camera (selfie camera) was crashing too much in my tests. especially when switching cameras. it's probably an issue with the beta.
now if we had a fix for video camera support for 30fps and 60fps. that would be great. all recordings now are in 24fps. which are smooth and without micro stuttering. even on Open Camera. but Snap Camera (default LineageOS Camera) refuses to take a video recording without 30fps at least.

Is it possible for our cam to capture at 60fps?

well in theory. yes. it should be able thanks to @highwaystar_ru
he added the profiles [email protected] 24 fps and [email protected] fps to the video profile to the back camera.
but the rom media profiles xml needs to be adjusted i think. for it to work with snap. for now snap and OpenCamera will record in [email protected] fps.
i haven't tested 4k yet.
Hi there all,
I received my 6T 8/256 last week. I'm still in official ver 0.7. I've checked that all my videos recorded in 4k 60fps are laggy. They skip frames and do not reproduce accordingly. I thought it may be a buffer problem in the phone itself, and moved them to the computer. They are laggy per se, they're recorded with this failures. Let's say they lag every 2 o 3 seconds (only video, not audio), giving the impression of a low quality, under resources smartphone.
Can you double check this? Can anybody confirm this problem is fixed in next updates? Otherwise I will have to switch to 30fps, which is a real pity in the quality standard.
Thx guys.

Does not lag on mine, but I have McLaren edition
Me too
Lags on my OP6 too. Even the 4k30 results are choppy. It's been like this for months now, videos come out like crap all the time.
Video is running fine on my OP6T at 4K60. I also have the 8/256 variant. I am currently on OB17. Maybe update your phone to the latest OOS as I know they made a few camera updates between what you're running and the latest OOS (9.0.17). Or you could download a newer APK for the camera from another source. I believe the newer camera versions from the 7/7 Pro work on the 6T but have issues in some modes (Pro mode, I believe}.

Same. Faulty unit?
Same here. I think this is because of crapy camera app that needs to be rebuilt because it has bad algorithms botch video and photo
I honestly prefer GCam on this device. I haven't noticed any issues with it on the device. Even with recording at the specifications that you noted above. Pictures are also of much better quality.

I use the GCam Tool from the Play Store. I use it mainly to stop the multiple subfolders created when taking portrait photos but it can also be used to flip/mirror the front camera images if the camera app you use doesn't offer the option (some combinations of GCam and Custom ROMs need to have the flip option enabled to correct the images).

I am quite certain GCam doesn't support 4K60 on the OP6T, only 4K30 max. I may be wrong, so apologies if I am.

Hmm...I set the settings and it showed the 60fps icon in the corner so I assumed it was recording at that frame rate.
These are just what I have set with the config file for the beta. Seems to record and playback fine.
I am looking for a camera app that can utilize the axon 7's 60fps at 1080p and 120fps at 720p, so far it doesnt matter what app ive tried (on oreo stock a2017u) every app only actually records at 30fps, ideally it would be something like open camera where I can manually change the bitrate shutter speed iso etc.
Im on the stock oreo rom but if needed I can install Lineage os, (but i would rather not)

Stock camera app? I haven't seen any other app so far which can actually utilize 60fps and slowmo. It's ZTE's fault for their weird camera driver programming.

the issue is that the stock camera app is just so... mediocre, to say the least, th camera quality is a sold 6/10 but could be sooo much better q.q
I wonder does it need Camera2 API?
I just shot a little test with Snap Camera HDR then checked with an editor app and it was about 43 fps but when I hard switched it to 60 fps and tried to shoot it failed.
It's still my favourite camera app.

I couldnt get any apps to shoot at 60fps+ regardless of camera api2 support or not, I was experiencing the same thing with snap camera hdr, regardless if the bit rate was 20 or 200Mbits/s and regardless of encoder highest I could get was that 43 fps, even on 720p.
Hello
I am usin OpenCamera
blue icon
It has everything. you can change Bitrates,resolutions,wide array of settings.
IMHO must have app. For videos i choose that.
Check it out and let me know howw well i have have helped you and how this is the solution to camera XD (joking a little bit) But yes,its the Best in my opinion. i use it. (axon 7 4k at 80Mb/s is amazing...)
I'll be honest, Open Camera has potential but it's never good enough. I try it occasionally and then uninstall. It has weird eccentricities but the biggest one is often the preview is quite different to the captured image.
Snap Camera HD shats all over it in so many ways.
Ok so i have a rooted lineage os 16.0 on my kccat6 also known as Samsung Galaxy S5 Plus, but one thing that i understand right know is that the camera sucks on custom roms the only close bet i got was open camera because it could do 4k recording while stock LineageOS and other's just couldn't recognize that 15MP in recording mode appearantly only 1080p 2.0MP, thank god open camera could see 4K recording, than all other camera apps, but quality be like ......... Not close to stock, neither the settings range of stock , so is there any GCam mod apk? That will work for me?
