Hey fellow androids,
I was wondering if there is a possibility to start a video recording triggered by motion in the stock app of a phone. Specifically, in my case a Samsung S9+ with the zero cam modded stock camera app.
While searching, I came across all kinds of apps that can start a motion triggered recording, but they start a recording in their own app, which of course has lower quality than the modded stock app. (If anyone can point to an app which allows to disable denoising and sharpening as well as higher bitrates and has motion trigger, that would be great as well)
Would be grateful for any suggestions

Hey guys, I installed Jellybean on my IncS, thanks to nikhil007mmus.
Camera app sometimes doesn't work and front camera doesn't work, I was wondering what is the recommended camera app that starts the fastest when you open it (for impromptu shots)?
Don't need many features, just video, front/back camera switch, different lighting conditions, and that's about it, but mostly importantly it has to start really fast.
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
Hello,
I'm using Background Video Recorder regularly as a secret recording tool and I'm in dilemma for buying the Google Pixel phone as a new smartphone.
I want to know if the Electronic Image Stabilization will work. The question is valid for other camera apps which can record video.
Thanks!
No one knows or willing to try?:crying:
Personally, I'm hesitant to contribute to spying apps. I realize that there are probably legitimate uses but I know of more than a few less savory needs for a camera that records without looking like it is recording. I only hope you represent the former and not the latter. I bring this up only to potentially explain why other folks may have remained silent like I did.
EIS only works in stock camera app. Annoying for me because stock camera app doesnt seem to support external microphones via aux or usb, so I can't use EIS in Cinema FV5 when using a mic.
I seem to have a hard time finding a thorough guide/wiki/tutorial/FAQ that goes through and can explain all the different camera and video recording settings.
Like what is video stabilization and when is it best to use a resolution/frame rate that allows for it? When would you want to use 1080p 120fps, especially in light of it then not allowing certain other features to be used? When best to ensure to use a resolution/fps setting that allows tracking auto-focus to be on? When would you want to be able to use the HDR10+ feature at the expense of being limited to a lower frame rate? Is 8K video recording really even practical and for what? Etc.
I personally tend to keep my video recording to 1080p 60fps because I much more prefer the smooth motion when recording regular home/family video moments, but then I'm sure there's circumstances that'd I'd be better off at a lower frame rate and then being allowed to have some other useful feature on.
Anyone know if raw dng photo capture is capable on this phone? And anyone know what sensor is used? The stock app does not seem to offer raw. It would be unfortunate if raw is not supported. Presumably the sensor is decent but Samsung stock software is usual not very good. 3rd party camera software rules, if raw is capable.
I tried using the pro shot app in the play store. No luck. There is a Samsung system app that crashes when trying to take a raw picture. Kind of annoying, I really would like to be able to take raw pictures because I use Lightroom to clean things up. Cleaning up a jpeg in the edit app on the camera/gallery pretty much destroys the quality by double compressing.
This is really frustrating because I'm sure the camera sensor is capable of taking raw images it's almost like Samsung is trying to prevent it at the OS level just to prevent people from having a good camera feature in a mid-range phone.
No RAW. You can download the Camera 2 API Prober to see all the feature it supports. It supports Camera 2 Limited (Full or Level 3 are better).
Yes, Samsung limited it at the system level, the processing is done by the kernel and the software only receives the result in JPG or HEIF. That's why you can't really use other camera apps to improve the results either.

The main camera (f/1.8, 0.8µm and around 1/1.7X" sensor size with PDAF and OIS) can either use a Samsung s5kgw1p sensor, commonly known as the GW1 or a Sony IMX682.
No camera2api LVL3/FULL support. Disappointing. Is there any way to port it?

Do you able to capture raw/dng using Lightroom camera app?
