Good news! 60fps video recording is back! - Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion

I just updated to latest global beta rom 9.3.7 today. What makes me surprised is when i checked the video settings in camera, yeahh finally 60 fps video is coming back after had been there in old beta rom 8.9.7, then afterward it dissapeared for unknown reaseon. Now this great feature is coming back, even is more stable and very smooth, with 4K 60fps added and real 60 fps.
Thanks for miui team for bringing back this great feature. What makes me a little dissapointed is this feature not included in changelog, only stated the square whatever camera that not an important. What everybody had looking for and had been waiting is this 60fps video! A feature that must have in flagship phones, even the redmi note 5 has this feature since beginning.
Anyway, go check it out guys! The latest global beta rom in updater or download page.

"Filmic Pro" like video recording apps on Android...

I have Galaxy S2 and as everyone knows its camera is beast but sadly we can't see its own real performance. Android market has full of games and programs so android is not crawling anymore but there is no any video recording program like iphone's "filmic pro" which have 48 mb/s video bitrate & exposure lock & manual focus etc... Is it so hard to do? We still working camera hacking which is changing only video/audio bitrates and its just peak to 30 mb/s but its quality is still not enough. We need an app! Don't you think it is?
i like to know this to... for SG4T
Agreed, anyone??! I'm looking for it, and still no solution. Especially for manual focus while shooting video.
Agree with you guys! I really miss an app like filmpic pro. It's able to shoot with 24 fps what I really miss from available android camera apps.
Check this out!!!!

I suggest you to try lgCamera app. It is the best video recording app for Android. u can set video framerate to 60 and video bitrate upto 48Mbit.
I REALLY LOVE THIS APP!!!

Thanks I already use that but exposure lock and fps features are not working,(at least for me) In this case, it has focus problems while you tap the record button. (it leaves focused position to zero suddenly) Plus, image quality is not quite enough even on 50mb bitrate etc... I'm wondering, they were saying exposure lock comes with ICS a long time ago but why are we still waiting for it?

Where do you found this info? I asked them about that but they never replied to me so I think they will never release this product for android. By the way, android is not like ios and iphone, there is a lot of brand and models which is different hardwares for android phones. I guess its hard to handle that to get this product work on every android phones.

Oh yes thanks but as I understand that topic, one day if FilmicPro will release an app for another device except Ipad or Iphone, it will be for a specific device (just galaxy s4, lumia 920 or whatever) not all android phones or windows phones. Thats sad.
does anyone have patched version of filmic pro 6.0..?

4k recording on Lollipop

Hey all, I haven't heard much about camera specs in all the excitement about Lollipop and now PA on the G3, I am on CM12 now and loving it but I miss having 4k recording on the camera... Any way to bring this back? Maybe a camera app port? [emoji1]
That is the only reason I went back to a stock based ROM. Love my camera.
I know this is something we can do... We have some great developers here... WINK WINK!... That is the only only thing it is missing. I'm going to try some build.prop edits to see if it will work, but I doubt it.

Agreed, CloudyG3 is great. It's my go to ROM unless I'm on CM12, I had to flash back today because I'm having WiFi issues on CM.
Aosp ROMs always have bad cameras they use googles **** camera

I have had many phones...Nexus, Touchwiz, Sense, and now the G3...it cannot be done.
But the ability to record 4k is in the hardware, right? If it were strictly a software up conversion then yes it would be an issue, but if it is native to the camera hardware it seems like the camera app would just need to have the support for that feature of the sensor...
I sorta think its silly to record in 4k without even having a 4k TV to play it against. I honestly can't justify it, so I'll stick with the pros of having cm12 instead. Fwiw the Google camera isn't all that bad really. If I need pro photos, that's what my Sony nex is for.

But we do all own a phone that plays 4k... And if you down sample to 1080p it retains a lot of sharpness and clarity not possible from strait 1080p recording.

This is the thing right here. I want to be able to record in 4k so that I can downsample/crop/frame a 1080p edit of that footage with amazing clarity and control.
I desperately want to be able to do this on AOSP on the G3, but the going, thus far, is slow.
Recently YouTube brought back 4k playback. Check out the GoPro channel. Sweet stuff. They need an LG G3 channel...
I don't think the quality in stock vs Google camera can ever be matched sadly.

Which camera do you think is better? I'm confused.

Stock camera is ages ahead of the CM Camera (Googles), there is just no comparison, once you look at the photos on a big screen you notice the lower quality on the Google camera photos., also with CM you will loose:
Laser Focus, 4K video recording and Slow Motion
If your recording in 4k only to convert to 1080 because it looks better it's because your editing software isn't doing it's job. I've tried it both ways and get the same results. And yes unless you're filming for a professional job that will use cinema standards or own a 4k TV recording in 4k just takes up too much space for no reason. I also recommend waiting quite a few years before attempting to get a useless UHD TV.

Official news on Android P and camera quality upgrades

One of the admins on the chinese MIUI forum has posted an update today: http://www.miui.com/thread-16120068-1-1.html
Big Thanks to user @ EraserKing for translating the whole thing!
Recently Xiaomi MIX 2s fans were curious about the progress of update of camera firmware and GPU driver, and I'd like to show you the status.
1. Xiaomi MIX 2S camera firmware update
Since the publish of weibo of Lei Jun, the developers of Xiaomi camera have started optimization. The finished part:
// Copied the 5 point
optimize camera focus stability,
optimize photo night brightness and outdoor dynamic range
optimization, outdoor photo, partial photo bias Color problem
Optimize the color effect of portrait mode in indoor/outdoor scenes
Optimized video details and noise
The optimizations above have rolled separately into dev version since June 4th, and after the upgrade to 8.7.3 internal test version and the following public test version, you can see the changelog. The rest few optimizations will be rolled into recent versions separately.
2. GPU driver update
Xiaomi has acknowledged and planned this. Will be pushed together with upgrading to Android P for MIX 2S. Please don't worry! And please be patient, keep waiting
PS. Upgrading to Android P for MIX 2S is under progress with high priority, and estimated to be finished porting and start internal test in September, then public test after 4-5 weeks.
Nice to see this. But can't wait for MIUI 10 Global before

They already said, they won't work on that in the future. They want to use miui skin in future builds. P developer builds are meant for developers, to give them the opportunity to develop on a pretty cheap flagship device.

Then we are back to zero, because the main reason for trebel project is faster updates but in this case updates will arrive fast yet get hold for implementing miui system skin.

This sucks. It really kills the idea behind it if they have to customize the whole UI again.
I really hope we get a dev here that makes and maintains a stable android 9 AOSP rom for this device when the RC comes out.
Qualcomm has already released the source AFAIK so I'm sure they are already getting ready for development.
As a Chinese, I would like to say, your translation is almost okay, but there're something to correct.

[Problem] Instagram stories very bad video quality on Redmi Note 5 Pro (whyred)

Hello guys. I bought my Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro one month ago and Im very satisfied with the device except when trying to post instagram stories they end up playing like 10-15 fps and video quality is very bad.
I have tried Pixel Rom and it doesn't do that, it posts the video smooth as original and video quality very high, but the problem with the Pixel Rom is that the notifications of Instagram won't work properly.
Can somebody help me to fix the stories problem
I would appreciate it, Thanks to all developers for your hard work.
Up, I have the same problem.
Btw, I'm using official MIUI 10 with latest InsignuX kernel and Magisk 17.1 installed.
Move request
Dear mods, please move this thread to questions section.

Hey, I was having the same problem, I solve it by downloading an older version of Instagram. On my redmi note 5 (global version) the version of Instagram wich worked was 35-0-0-0-96, you should try this or another old version, don't forget to disable the automatic download of newer version on the app. Good luck
Have a some problem. Who know how solve bad video quaility and fps in instagram, without downgrade version ?

Question Camera performance.

Hey guys.
Im interesting to buy 12s ultra. I have already saw it with unbox firmware but I wasn't surprised on camera performance.
If you got any update since then pls upload some unedited Day - Night fotos..
Thnk you all..
Look at the thread with the modded camera apk.....that project updates the camera on our EU rom with the latest instead of the 6 month old versions.
Software is much better now IMO.
