Now the time has come after 3 years of fighting with the camera on the note 2, note 3 and note 4 trying to make it have unlimited recording limits (until space is full) is now POSSIBLE!
I have spent the last couple hours digging through and pinpointing the 1 thing that cuts off the 4k recording at 5 minutes and you are now able to record up to 1 hour in 4K. I may try to push it more later but this is a good start.
Instructions:
THIS IS NOT A FLASHABLE ZIP SO DO NOT FLASH THRU RECOVERY
1. Download the zip and extract the apk SamsungCamera4.apk
2. Download es file explorer and browse to system/apps/SamsungCamera4/
3. Make a backup of everything in that folder then delete everything in the folder
4. Copy over the SamsungCamera4.apk that you downloaded to system/apps/SamsungCamera4/
4a. (In V2) copy the media_profiles.xml to /system/etc and overwrite
5. set permissions to rw-r-r on the file
6. Reboot your phone
7. Once rebooted check to see if your camera works, once up look for KRM in the Camera icon to the top of the record button
8. If you see KRM then you have installed the mod successfully
If you have any questions please ask. I have recorded up to 35 minutes so far but ran out of space so please let me know if you can fully record to 1 hour. While this mod does unlock the full recording limits of 4k samsung has generously unlocked it already for 1920x1080 and below. That being said please do not use this mod for any illegal activity,
Also it will split each 4GB file into separate pieces- usually around 8 minutes-9 minutes
DOWNLOADS:
V4T(Tmobile)
CHANGELOGS:
V4
Added ability to use flashlight under 15% battery thanks to @dr.ketan
Made a version for Tmobile due to update that caused FC
Removed media_profiles.xml for now to tweak, gets rid of bitrate improvements (return to stock media_profile recommended for now)
removed button to take snapshots during 4k recording.. caused crashes
V3.2
Fixed recording while in call
Modified timers for recording so they are more accurate
Added snapshot button in UHD, Smooth motion and WHD (BUT DO NOT USE THE BUTTON IN THOSE YET)
V3.1
Fixed 4k unlimited, broke in V3. Fixed in V3.1
V3
(Thanks to @dwitherell back on the note 4 for telling me about how to do these)
Prevent audio from stopping/pausing when taking a pic or shooting video
Allow for taking video while in call
Broke 4k recording...
V2
4K bitrate turned up to 68Mbps from 48Mbps
Picture quality turned up to 100% from 96%
V1
4K can record up to a full hour
Modified recording icon
Some interesting information... the note 5 has a 20MP camera apparently because when u take snapshots it is around 5310x4000. Also when trying to change the resolution of slo mo to anything over 1280x720 I got garbled video so thats a lost cause.

works great thanks. I dont care much for 4k but if it improve pictures quality I'm all for it.
Damn could have used this during my wife's labor 2 days ago. 4k recording stopped where I had the phone set up before it even began. Didn't know about the limit.

Yep that sucks, thats why i made this because there are things i wanted to record that were longer than 5 minutes... 4k for a labor video? Every single detail lol, but ya might wanna check on here for next time. The other thing is space, if you run out of space itll stop recording
It was more mommy and daddy and grandma and newborns reaction rather than the act. I cried like a little ***** but missed it all on record. Anyway thanks again for the mod.

hi guys,
don't know if you have tried lgCamerapro 6.3 yet but if you haven't, give it a try. it captures real 1080p videos at 30fps and with great quality to boot. i'm just having issues with its audio capture but apart from that, it works better than the o3d's default camera (less 3d capture of course)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rubberbigpepper.lgCameraPro&hl=en
attached pic is my settings... i just used 12mbits as higher bits "sometimes" gives the notorious audio/video cut haha
Can Do 3D
This app can do 3d you just need to switch the camera its after the front camera. Not sure about resolution though been couple of months since I used it. If I remember correctly you just have to to the 3d formating settings for it to view properly.
For me it doesn't work.Especially the video recorder.And on all settings.Maybe it's the Rom I use, the WaterBear

NEW: LGCamera Port for Android 4.3 ALL and i9500/i9505
Hi Guys,
I have compiled the latest LGCamera App and its supporting depedancy libraries to make it work on Android 4.3 General ALL and i9500/i9505. This is a tested package and All the features are working as expected. Device to Device features might work or might not work.
"BSDgeek_Jake_LGCamera_Port_AndroidGeneric4.3ALL_i9500_i9505_CWM" to be Flashed from CWM recovery.
"BSDgeek_Jake_LGCamera_Port_AndroidGeneric4.3ALL_i9500_i9505_MANUAL" to be extracted to '/system' and manually set permissions to '0.0' (root:root) and '644' (rw-r-r). You might want to use "Root Explorer" to achieve this or your prefered explorer which has root capability.
NOTE: Before doing any modification to your device, please Remember to take Backup for your Device through CWM. Although i have tested this package thoroughly and found no issues BUT I am not responsible for any issues which might arise.

For second one,
Since this has been taken from LG G2 & G2 doesn't support External SD, Camera app doesn't have save to External SD option.

Shutter sound bug is default problem part of Samsung firmware. Not camera app problem i think.

It won't happen, 5s has special coprocessor in it so you won't see anything nearly as good for N5.

Htc one has also a slo mo function, so i think if the processor is fast enogh and the cam takes enogh pics it will work. And i think also the n5 could do it.

From what I know, the iphone 5s records at 120fps, this is all possible because of a hardware combination of the camera, and their in house processor has a dedicated chip for this. It's the only phone that does this, the HTC One does this, but only at about 1/2 the frames. So I stand by my word. The N5 will not see comparable slow-mo to the iphone or likely even the HTC One. Source http://www.engadget.com/2013/09/17/iphone-5s-review/
The Xiaomi MI2 have a 90fps option without co-processor FYI
So I think the N5 can take at least 90 fps without any problems
Comparison of 5s slow motion video with Note 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBXbgFeEYHo
G2 also has slow mo, to an extent. Don't see why we can't get it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crT0AmZWiUk

Erm, as cool as it may sound, but that is kind of impossible. You can not merge 2mp into 4mp to get 6mp. Technically impossible to do so.
One thing you could do is to improve accuracy of the second camera sensor to improve edge/depth detection (for example uFocus quality enhancements) or maybe better detection of light and shadows.
Actually I am really interested what improvements can be done to the camera itself by an expert like @Jishnu Sur™. The sample images from G-Bus in the Photo-Thread already look pretty promising.
I really want to test it now too xD

And finally I found a app that is working 100%
It is Moto G 4th Gen Camera port.

Slow motion recording
Normal recording upto 4k UHD and 2160p both @30fps
Everything is stable, picture quality is superb

I already post this camera?
I can corroborate this post!
I checked it out, perfect camera!
Other than HDR+ and photo sphere kind of Google camera specific features, this Moto cam mod is superior to the Google Camera port that we have.
Better try the Oneplus 5 camera mod .. Its good

Sample shot with hdr on, overall very nice but colors a bit off, for example wall behind color is almost orange (dark curry) but on pic looks yellowish..
You guys be the judge, the darker photo is from Google camera HDR mod and the lighter one is from this thread.
As said above the colors are a bit off because the clears the photo way too much still I can't complaint it really lights up the pictures, I'm gonna keep both and use Google cam for daylight and this one for night time
