This mod is possibly only for the S7 Exynos. I don't have access to a Snapdragon S7, but the camera profile I worked form states that it only works on the Exynos version...
Hey hey S7 Users! Ever since getting my hands on an S7 Edge last year I’ve drooled over the Zero Camera Mod 4K HDR capability. I used to root my handsets the second I received them, but honestly, these days I can’t be bothered.
Anywho, long story short, I was recently hunting for S7 Mods and stumbled upon the Snap Camera 4K 60fps mod. It works brilliantly, btw! While messing around with the profile settings within Snap Camera I found I was able to enable HDR video recording at 4K 30fps!!!
I’ve included a link to a quick comparison video I made comparing 4K video shot using the stock Samsung camera app and 4K HDR video shot using the “Snap Camera HDR” app from the PlayStore with a custom profile.
I’ve also included links to the original video I found explaining the Snap Camera 4K 60fps mod, and a link to my custom profile, which is based on the 60fps mod profile.
To load the profile just download the “snap_settings.bin” and place it in the root of your storage. Load up Snap Camera and head to the “Other” menu in settings. Select “Load Settings” and enjoy 4K HDR!

Can you upload the file again? The link has expired again, or at least send it to me some how, i couldn't get the file anywhere.
any chance you could re upload the settings file? the link is dead.

Hi,
I saw in Z5 Premium page that there is a new feature which allows you to take still images from 4K videos. As its just software, any possibility that every Z phone will get that feature or we need someone to extract his apk? Can be seen in official phone page in freeze the action part, can't post links.
I think our z3 can do it right out of the box? If you mean taking photos while recording 4K.
I meant there is new feature allowing you to take 8MP photo from previously recorded 4K video.
Hi.
so after the update, I no longer have the 4k viewing option. only full HD. is this normal ?
How do I get it back ?
Thanks
4k is still there. It is removed, however, for 4k HDR content due to an issue with the app.
For normal non HDR videos 4K is still there. But videos with HDR is now limited to 1080p due to performance issues with pretty much every device: http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/11/04/hdr-youtube-app-now-maxes-1080p/
Shame they don't offer an option to just watch the non-HDR version instead.

i tried hdr on or off while in manual settings on the new photo app of android 9 but i see no difference, did i miss something or is it just disabled by sony on xz premium to force us to buy a new phone if we want hdr photo ? is there a hdr in video mode ? i also see no difference bewteen a 4k video on android8 and and android 9 (but there is no hdr toggle for video in android 9 so it does not seem available on xz premium ( by hdr video i mean raising the shadows and providing details in the highlights such as the sky and not the other hdr type that requires a hdr monitor)

oh i understand now, HDR for videos is not available on XZP its not a software thing, our device simply doesnt support HDR video recording.
as for photos, I dont notice a difference mostly, but I think auto includes auto HDR because also on oreo i didnt notice a difference unless its in outdoors with a lot of trees and colorful environment there could be a slight difference noticed

the snapdragon 835 can do hdr video capture( https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon-835-mobile-platform ) and the camera sensor is the same on xzp and xzp2 so it is just sony disabling features in older phones to force you to buy their latest phone. UPDATE : it seems the image pipeline was redone for xz2 premium so we are out of luck with our "old" xz premium if we want hdr video.
The XZ Premium can't record HDR Videos (4K)
But we got SDR TO HDR Conversion. It's the "new" video image enchantment. Sony support confirmed it on Twitter DMs. As the name says, it works on video and it can work on a few apps that they don't mention which.

I have tried it and so can you, I can confirm, here is how I tested:
watched the video on youtube
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XTvrXLfheI&t=49s
was very very crisp and detailed but the video isnt HDR, so I gave it a shot and downloaded the video with 4k youtube downloader app on my PC and placed the video on my device, then watched it there, total different story mate!! I am so happy! I started flipping between recent's app going to youtube and back to the video app (or photo they both support it) while I was watching the same video on both, and I was shocked to see that its ALOT more colorful and dynamic in the video app than on youtube (set on 4k on youtube).
I was skeptical about it but now that I tried, I can confirm with full confidence that we have SDR to HDR!
try it your self and let me know if you notice it too

you are talking about hdr video playback, i am speaking about hdr video capture (but again not in a hdr video codec, just raising details in the shadows and the highlights by combining multiple exposures in a non hdr video codec, exactly what is done in hdr photo and like what you see here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgyR00UiWJE )
XZ Premium uses BionzX for camera , and it does not support HDR recording. On XZ2 and on camera uses Qualcomm ISP for camera processing.

thanks for the info, i don't get why is hdr video available on older phones like the z2 but not xz premium https://support.sonymobile.com/ae-en/xperiaz2/userguide/video-camera-settings/#gref
I bought this phone because of Chris from Tech tablet showing how smooth it was on 4k. Chris was using the China version of the phone. However after buying the phone, I could NEVER get 4k EIS to work because the Open camera app keeps crashing, so I gave up. Today, after doing some research, I looked at youtube videos showing Note 5 Pro 4k EIS were from July 2018 and earlier. Those Indians were using the global version of the phone. That made me wonder if it is related to firmware.
Turns out, you need to be on MIUI 9. The camera settings were changed on MIUI 10 so 4k EIS stopped working.
Here are the steps to make it work:
1) Downgrade/upgrade to 9.5.7.0 Global firmware. It is the last build of MIUI 9 without antirollback. https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro/how-to/index-everything-anti-roll-t3816219
2) Download open camera. do not enable hal 3 in build.prop.
3) Choose 4k under video settings, 40mbps bit rate ( higher will cause apl to crash because it only supports 42mbps), h264 format (HEVC Doesnt work). set 24fps. any faster sd636 unable to stabilize
4) Under more camera controls, Use Storage access framework
Now if you record video, wait 2-3 seconds lag before it starts recording. 4k EIS works! Since cropping from 12MP to 8MP there is less area compared to 2MP for 1080p videos, the stabilization is not as great compared to fullHD stabilization

Hi, I have a Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G (codename: VEUX, verified using adb) Indonesia version (model: 2201116SG). Right now I'm using Evolution X ver 7.3 (build Nov 20, 2022). Before, I'm using stock MIUI Global 13.0.2.0 (RKCIDXM). I posted this thread to present my findings about this phone, and hopefully find a fix.
I was trying to find a suitable GCam port for this phone, but ONLY Arnova8G2's ver 8.4.300 GCam port that works in this phone. All other ports will crash or show black screen when using Video recording mode. However, photo mode works just fine in all GCam ports. I can even add auxiliary cameras and enable the tele/macro and ultrawide lens. The problem reappears, however, when I enable aux cam in Arnova8G2's GCam port. The app keeps crashing when I switch to video mode, and I need to clear app data and cache to get it working again.
I've also installed Open Camera by Mark Harman, and tried to record 1920x1080 video, but it says "Failed to record video". The highest resolution I can get is 1600x900. Lowering the FPS didn't help, It says "Sorry, frame rate not supported on your device".
Playing 1920x1080 videos (whether 30 or 60fps) worked just fine using Google Photos. If the resolution is higher than that, then Google Photos and any media player will refuse to play it. The highest video resolution I can play is 1080x2040, even a 1080x2400 video (same resolution as the display) results in the same error.
I haven't tried recording and playing 1080p videos back in stock MIUI, but judging from the Live Wallpaper Bug Thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/dynamic-wallpaper-mi-video-bugs.4439695/), the problem might persist in stock ROM.
I know that the Snapdragon 695 SoC has a hardware limitation of recording video up to [email protected] But, this thing was like "GIVE ME A VIDEO THAT IS EXACTLY 1080x2040, OR ELSE. AND DON'T EVEN THINK TO RECORD AT 1080p!!". I still have my old Redmi S2 (codename: YSL), and just for reference, I tried installing one of the GCam port file that I've used in this phone. Guess what, the Arnova8G2 version didn't work, but other GCam port works perfectly. I installed BSG 8.1 GV2b in Redmi S2, and managed to record [email protected], although it crashed in like 3 seconds. Playing a 1920x1080 30fps video (a much higher resolution than the 720p display that the Redmi S2 has) using Google Photos also works, although as expected, the video is very choppy.
So, In conclusion, the Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G is picky about what video to play and record. This might be a hardware problem, because it persist even in different ROMs. If this really is a hardware problem, then It's kinda suck, 'cause I need to record important video occasionally. Oh well, I'll need to use other tricks just for recording video then. I wanna hear what you guys thought about this though.
We been struggling with this since this phone came out, but i been playing videos up to 4k on mx player without a problem
still no solution to record 4k tho
Is a hardware limitation from the snapdragon processor. There is no way of make 4K recording in this device.
4K playback is fine.
Aw bummer. Welp, on the bright side, I've finally managed to find a perfect GCam, It's BSG's GCam MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1zfix_MGC. Everything works, including video recording up to [email protected], front camera works, slow motion, etc.
