Hello and thanks for any help.
Device
Moto G5S plus
Android 7.1.1
Ton of free space (13GB on internal, 57GB on SD card)
Rooted (Unlocking Bootloader, TWRP recovery, Magisk) following https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g5s-plus/development/root-moto-g5s-plus-t3673287
Problem
When I try to record a video using the REAR camera, the camera app just freezes. Then I have to restart the app. No file is created.
I can record videos with the front-facing camera without problems.
I can record short videos with instagram and facebook's messenger using the rear camera.
I have tried
Cleaning cache and data, Restarting in safe mode.
Changing storage to sd card on camera app.
Using third-party camera apps (open-camera, a better camera). None of them worked.
Using some other apps with video record capabilities:
​Instagram and messenger can record without problems, but the videos are limited to 15 seconds duration.
​Whatsapp and Telegram did NOT work.
As in whatsapp the duration is limited to 2 min, and in telegram there is no limit (I think), this made me think the problem is related to the duration/size of the video. So I tried Open-camera with restricted video size and low resolution, but did not work either.
Or maybe instagram/facebook do not save the video in local, and just send it, so the problem may be related to writing permissions?
I can download and see videos without problem.
If anyone has any idea about what to try next I really appreciate it.
If more information is needed please let me know.
Thanks.

Been having some trouble with my Nexus 5's camera as of late. I've mitigated the issues as much as possible with Jinshu's camera fix and any previous crashes I've incurred in the past are now gone. But one problem still remains. Any video I record is corrupt and can't be played from any platform other than my own phone. In fact, every other video, yes 50% of the videos I record, can't even save. I get the error message "Can't play this video" and the file is gone.
What I've tried so far:
Reinstalling CM11 M9
Jinshu's Camera Fix (It certainly helped with other issues, but this one remains).
Several other Camera Apps
Different Resolution Video Recordings (I usually record at 1080P)
This is on a Sprint Nexus 5 running a clean install of Cyanogenmod 11 Snapshot M9. This is extremely frustrating because I have quite a few videos that I've taken over my summer that I'd like to put on my PC and none of them can be played by numerous players (including VLC Media Player) and editing programs (including Vegas).
Someone please help!
Hi guys,
I am using latest global stable rom (7.5.1) and i noticed something wrong with instagram. As you all know instagram released new update and you can use the instagram like @snapchat which you can upload your story. I liked the app. But the problem is when you upload a story you have to take a picture or record video inside of the application. When i try to do that simply the rear camera picture or video quality is amazingly poor.
Any other one faced the issue? And any solution you you can provide?
Btw I tried global developer rom latest version as well (6.7.29) which came back to same issue as well.
Waiting for your feedbacks. Thanks.
After few tries..
Well ok what i found out after few tries is quite funny and simple. The problem is not the camera drivers or device specs.
Instagram app is automatically selecting the lowest quality video recording option. What i am trying to say is; since rear camera has recording options ( sd, hd, full hd, 4k) the app is making the lowest quality selection by itself. When it comes to front camera since there is no option to choose the quality of front camera video recording then instgram takes the fixed one which is already full hd ( you can find video recording settings inside of camera app for both rear and front cameras) I believe this is done due to decrease the data consumption.
So now the case is if we can simply remove the option of 'SD Video Recording of the back camera' then we can post good quality videos on instagram
So if someone know, how the camera recording quality can be removed from the system please let me know
Thanks in advance
Dear community,
Everything seems to work except video recording at 60 fps (at any resolution). I can select it but when i press the record button i only get a toast message: ''Could not start media recorder. Can't start video recording'' (without the quotes).
Also in Whatsapp I'm able to send and receive pictures. Same in Snapchat. Everything works fine(at 30fps but that's normal in the apps how it should). Its just the main camera(snap camera) that can't film in 60fps. However, 30 fps works good on any resolution (even 4k). Taking and reviewing pictures also works flawlessly. In the past i used a Candy6 rom based on 6.0.1 that had the same camera app (the default snap camera). 60 fps worked flawlessly there.
I did a clean flash. Wiped everything, flashed the rom and Gapps and rebooted.
I'm currently on the newest build of Resurrection Remix 7.1.2
is there some .zip i deed to flash in recovery to enable 60fps recording or something else maybe? Perhaps another kernel?
That's the only thing i miss because the rest of the rom is perfect, performs very well and even supports Substratum.
I attached a logcat and a screenshot. Only thing i did is update magisk and restores some (not camera related) apps from titanium backup but that should not matter.
I hope someone can help because i really miss the feature.

Hi, I have tried 2 different CR Android 11. and video recorder doesn't work properly.
For example, in Gcam I can save videos but there's no sound at all. (I have tried NG, and 3 more versions all the same issue)
In Anx, it records the video, but when I go to gallery the video length says 14 hrs and it doesn't even play the video.
Is there any app that records video properly without bugging so much?, to me video recording is essential on my phone. I'm seriously considering going back to MIUI because I see that all CR have the same issue.

Just happened the same thing to me in Lineage OS 17.1.
I wonder if it is related to some libs missing or being different in some Roms. I couldn't make video recording work right with any camera app.
At the moment I went back to MIUI Global Rom until I find if it is rom related, if it is any issue with some library or what else could I do to choose an appropriate rom. Because it is very tired to begin rom switching only to discover again that video recording doesn't work and I have to reflash and reinstall apps again.
Edit; I forgot to ask if you were able to solve your issue
