Hi.
Maybe it is knowing workaround for pixelated YouTube videos from official Google's app (on custom's 4.3+, on 4.2 videos looks OK I think), but anyway I wanna post here this.
Oh, and I don't know if newest updates of YT are still not working on KitKat Roms, this trick was tested today only on 4.3...
You only need:
• Xposed Installer (instructions how to install too) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/xposed-installer-versions-changelog-t2714053
• App Settings (Per App DPI) module, download from Xposed/Download and Enable it from Xposed/Modules.
In this module search for YouTube app and configure it like on attached screenshot (save yours changes by clicking on "disk" icon and reboot phone).
This configuration lets you choose 720p mode in YouTube settings, choose it.
Look at the attached screenshots to see a difference between 360p and 720p mode.
PS. This settings will stay after updating YT. If you flashing ROM another time, you must install Xposed framework once more (why? because X framework is installed on /system partition, not /data).
I've Got this same settings but i still don't have 720p. Could You help me?
UPDATED - NOW WITH STABLE 30/60/90/120 FPS IN LOW LIGHT CONDITIONS!
NOTE! YOUR DEVICE MUST HAVE UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER! THIS INSTRUCTION ONLY FOR SNAPDRAGON VERSION PHONES!
Instruction for android nougat(TWRP):
If you want to record smooth 60(90) fps fullhd and 120fps hd videos with clear stereo sound and stabilization, follow these several simple steps:
1. Okay, it is supposed, that your device has unlocked bootloader, installed usb drivers and last fimware on android nougat or android oreo.
First of all, go to camera settings and wipe all data from system camera app, then download all necessary files from my GoogleDrive folder "ALL TOOLS" HERE.
Copy all files on your sd card except recovery.7z
2. Unpack recovery.7z on PC in any folder.
Turn off your smartphone and enter fastboot mode(vol- and power on), connect your phone to PC and run boot_twrp.bat from "tools_r25.0.3-windows (2)" folder, follow instructions on the screen.
Wait for running twrp. (TWRP recovery won't be flashed on your device!)
P.S. Pass this step if u aready have flashed twrp recovery before it.
3. Tap install, and flash: Camera_2API_addon.zip => camera.zip => sound_fix_redmi_note4x_v1.zip=>BOLTiSHok_60-90_FPS_FHD_s5k3l8 & fiks cvet-90moto_60gcam&snap.zip(for samsung s5k3l8 sensor) or BOLTiSHok_superFPS.zip(for all types of camera sensor)=>( and MIUICameraBraviaV4.zip if you want replace miui stock camera app with modified one)
back to previous menu and wipe dalvic/art and cache
And finally DO NOT FORGET FLASH lazyflasher-no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip !
Reboot your smartphone and enjoy smooth video 60 fps recording with clear stereo sound with snapdragon camera.
Note. Your default media profiles will be replaced with modified ones and all camera apps now using h.265 codec with fix for sound recording.
P.S. And of course 60 fps recording requires a lot of light, so unfortunately you can not make a video inside buildings with low light.
Also, I noticed some glitch, when i try to switch between 4k and 1080p mode with enabled stabilization, so i recommend to turn it off before changing resolution in video settings. + slow mo 720 p recording seems not working, but it works in miui camera
Okay, Now you can record with stable 30/60/90(for FULLHD)/120 fps(for HD) even in low light conditions!
Original libs for turning back also added.
All video modes(for samsung sensor) atm are:
4K/1080p 30FPS
FULLHD(60/90 FPS), HD(60/90/120 FPS), Front Camera(HD 60 FPS)
SLOW MOTION: FULLHD(60/90 FPS), HD(60/90/120 FPS), Front Camera(HD 60 FPS)
Slow motion video sample in 1080p
Instruction for android oreo and android nougat for all sensors(MAGISK) without sound fix and snapdragon camera:
Use magisk modules from my GoogleDrive folder "ALL TOOLS" HERE.
There are 2 types of module:
1) For Android Nougat and Oreo(non treble)
2) For Oreo(treble)
======================================================================================================================================================
Now u can record 60 fps video with GCAM
======================================================================================================================================================
Warning! Upgrading your fimware is accompanied by erasing "/system" partition, therefore you have to repeat all steps from instruction again!

Audio test(sorry for incorrect left and right side recognizing)
I was waiting for your thread since you announced it on 4pda, let's see.
I have some questions.
I am on LinageOS, do I have to flash camera2api again even though I already have it enabled?
Can I still install the modded Google camera without having any conflict? No conflicts with h.265codec?
Is this the MIUi camera which works on custom ROM? Does beautify work?
My biggest concern is the Google camera. I don't want to mess it up. Your post says snapdragon camera will be installed right? So recording in 60fps will only work on that app and not others?

I cant say how it works on lineageos, because i have never installed it.
If u have camera2api enabled already, so obivously u do not need to flash it again.
I have installed miui mod camera, gcam and snapdragon camera together, all apps using the same h265 codec and i dont have any conflicts, all works pretty well.
I shot several videos in these apps and only snapcamera allows to record true 60 fps.

Thanks I will try it. How about other apps like Facebook Live, instagram? Snapchat? Will this be messed?
Also how about safety net and Magisk? Will safetynet still pass? I'll try it out.

I dunno why u worry about fb and other messengers, it doest even relate to video calls
Shortly ur profiles for sound and video will be replaced, thats all. If lineageos has the same paths for these files, so it should work.
Using Lineage OS 14.1 I can confirm that 60fps and 120slowmo works. I just installed the Snapdragon Camera(apk only). Thanks!
confirmed working on AOSP based rom

Since I didn't install the media_profiles from the zip i don't think so.

I installed with the media_profiles file and it works too
maybe its app dependent?
Do I have to flash lazyflasher, I'm on LOS. And where do I get it?

Even without ZSL phone takes photo almost instant, same as with ZSL turned on. Well, these options seems to not work on our phones too.

I don't think you need lazy flasher if you are on LOS or AOSP? It is only for MIUI roms? I have never used it
That sound fix is the file with media profiles?
Hello, Anyone have same problem? When I'm watching video in YouTube and pressing Home button, picture in picture mode is not working and it's just closing YOUTUBE.

Picture in Picture only works on YouTube if you have a YouTube Red subscription. There was a bypass though. Try to open Google Chrome and then access YouTube from there. Try If PiP works.

i Trued it with chrome, but still is not working
No, you're not working. The way PiP mode works for Chrome goes like this: You go fullscreen on a video, then press the multitasking button, not the home button, and the video should automatically transform to a window while the app shows up on your multitasking screen. The same applies for YouTube(provided you have YouTube Red), and Google Maps(you have to be navigating to somewhere then press the multitasking button).
I tested Android Oreo's pip and it works for some apps. And since many are saying that it doesn't work, I'll add some screenshots to show that its working. It worked for me with VLC, Video Calling(whatsapp, Duo), Chrome & web Youtube.
For Youtube you need to click on "desktop site" in chrome then play any video in full screen after that press home screen, it'll work.
For VLC, open any video in full screen, click options and select Pip icon and press home screen. As for video calling, it works with Whatsapp video call and Duo.

Also, for PIP to work with the YouTube app, you need to have a YouTube Red subscription.
Not all apps support PiP. To check which app supports PiP go Settings > Apps & notifications > Advanced > Special App Access > Picture in Picture
YouTube PIP isn't working for me

Because you probably don't have Youtube Red.
Look for IYTBP YouTube app on XDA. There are rootless versions. Install them so you can use it with PiP without YouTube Red.

Since I updated to android 9 youtube is showing the notch while playing videos when I pinch to zoom (doesn't hide like it was hidden on previous builds). Anyone else experiencing the same issue?
Have you enabled full screen mode in settings for YouTube?
Same issue, using Vanced Magisk. No one seems to care or have a solution yet as Pie just isn't mainstream.
