General Camera Still Lacking 60FPS For 3rd Party Apps - Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra

Hi all,
So I've just updated to the new April release, and have discovered that Samsung are STILL not giving us access to 60fps via the Camera2 API.
I know this is a super longshot, but is there any way of getting around this?
Many people are after this, some for using apps like Filmic Pro, others (like myself) want to utilise the phone as a portable camera, that can use NDI to broadcast video on a wireless network, for use in broadcasting. (This works perfectly in 4K with my current setup, but is lacking of 60fps which would provide much smoother video)
I have contacted Samsung about this, but every time I ask I get NPCs responding to me telling me that it's the App Developers fault, when it most definitely is not. After using an API prober I can see that Samsung do not give any access to request 60fps, only frame rates of 30 and below are allowed to 3rd party apps.

I used you picture, I hope that's okay. Sign the change . Org and share wherever can get signatures to have Samsung change this. I'm a disappointed s22 ultra owner

The front and wide angle camera work in 60fps and 120fps with quick video recorder. The powerful main doesn't.

There is a app called "SetEdit" which when given permission via adb, you can add a variable that allows 120hz camera.
Found the forum post.
S21 Force 120Hz!
So this is a huge discovery I made! Myself and many others are annoyed at the fact that Snapchat drops to 60Hz whenever the camera is activated. I found a workaround that allows it and other applications to remain at 120Hz even when the camera is...

Tried it and don't seem to find those settings on my s22U

[APP]Eyeprint App Lock Beta

Hey Guys,
Its a great application landing to Galaxy S4
Most people make do with a PIN or pattern lock to secure their Android devices. If you need something a little stronger (or just want to feel like Ethan Hunt) EyeVerify has just released the beta version of an app that uses honest-to-goodness eye scans. Eyeprint takes a photo of your face, then matches the pattern of blood vessels on your eyeballs to a previous photo to access locked apps.

Technically, Eyeprint isn't using the classic retina scan to grant access - that would require a small amount of infrared light to illuminate the membrane at the back of the eye. It uses the same principle of amazingly unique vein patterns, but it picks them up from the corners of your eyes. Users need a front-facing camera of at lest 2 megapixels. To create the baseline, you'll have to follow the instructions while using the rear camera, looking to the far left and right to let the camera pick up the veins on your eyes. After that, a quick scan of your eyes looking left and right from the front-facing cam should do the trick.
EyeVerify hopes to expand its services to other developers on Android and iOS through an SDK. At present, the app can only lock other apps - you can't actually unlock your phone with an eye scan. (There's a quick "lock all" option for the truly paranoid.) Early feedback from the Play Store indicates that it's very efficacious, so hopefully more devices will be enables as the beta program continues. The Eyeprint App Lock Beta is free to try for 30 days.

Thanks to AP for the same.
just tried it yesterday , the concept is cool but too much wakelock in its current state . uninstalled it after few hours of usage since it topped wakelock detector. waiting for future updates, its having some great potential

[Q]How to make an app dedicated for a lover?

I know this will sound crazy but I want to make an app that is interactive and dedicated only to my girlfriend. My idea is that once you open that app,
** It will give you a title screen with background picture of both of you.
** That title screen has 3 options,
1.) Videos
2.) Pictures
3.) Exit
Once you open the "Videos", it will open all of your videos that involves both of you, and of course if an independent video player is very difficult to include, then after you select a video, the user will be prompted on what player to choose, for example a window will pop-up with a selection of "MX Player" and "Album/Gallery" app and there's two option below which is "ALWAYS" and "ONCE"
And on the other hand, same interaction in the "Pictures" department, wherein all of your pictures will show, and there's an option "SlideShow".
I know the question of "where would the videos and pictures come from??", I'm planning to make a folder which consists of all the videos and pictures (probably it's about 3Gb-4Gb) and just simple copy-paste it in the source folder of the app. For example, it should be place on the /android/obb
Do you think it is possible? If so, how should I begin then?
This is the title screen I'm thinking about, and of course we are those silhouettes.
That is 1080p x 1920p resolution (dedicated for her Samsung S4 GT-i9505)

Android App Dedicated for a Lover
On first start up of App, ask your lover to configure a dedicated folder to store personalized videos and Photos. Then implement Video Player and Image browser. This app is just a two in one type so not much hassle in implementation.
Up! I really want to pursue this app. Please help me guys
Sounds like a great idea, I'll be keeping an eye on this thread, to see how it goes, never made an app before but doesn't seem to terribly complicated to make something simple like this. Then again I could be wrong lol.
interesting idea... will keep myself posted to this thread.
Any xda masters here who can give me an idea or even a headstart?

I can't replicate this on mine.
Well, i have received an explanation from a bro,which have find the same situation. He just think that it related to brightness. When the sensor detect the brightness is enough, the 2X camera will run, if it detect brightness is not enough the camera will change to 1X camera. Sothat, when the light in a embarrassing situation(no brightness enough and also not realy dark) this issus will happen,two cameras switch and switch, realy quickly and also again here is a kind of explanation ,so am i.
Try video Pro

Yeah I see what you did there XD. Neat trick.
High light/contrast on the computer screen and no light on the Keyboard...you're asking for problems.
Have you tried using the Pro video app. That's going to get a better shot than the standard camera app.
While I can't possibly see the reason for attempting this kind of shot in low light conditions. I have sort or re-created it on mine but the camera wants to focus on where i hold my finger/thumb; which has next to no visual queues for the hardware/software to recognise so it will do what your are seeing.
I agree that the camera has become a little sluggish in 2X mode in low light. But to be honest I wouldn't have bothered until you posted this.
It's doing exaclty what I would expect it to do under the conditions.

Best Gcam 8.0 Advanced Settings - HOW TO MAKE GCAM 8.0 WORK FOR YOUR DEVICE

The Gcam Advanced Settings Masterclass is back! Welcome to Gcam 8.0 Advanced Settings where a little tweak can make all the difference...
That Gcam doesn't work perfectly after install doesn't mean that it won't work well as you will see in this Video.
I was disappointed after installing the latest Gcam 8.0 Mod from BSG as the whole thing looked worse that the previous update.

As you can see in the image above both the color was off (completely lacking magenta) and the camera preview freezed the only good thing was that the video was working properly with sharp and accurate colors.
So with the video aspect working fine, I decided to do a step by step guide of how I fixed my camera issues so that it can help some one out their get it right.
First step:
#1 TURN OFF MOTION PICTURE - While motion picture is a great feature for Gcam, it depends more on Google photos and can cause some problems if the Gcam settings is not set to use Google photos, or Google Photos app not being installed or out dated so, the first step is to turn.
That didn't do us any good in this case so I moved on to next.
#2 TURN ON SHOW HDR CONTROL FROM ADVANCED SETTINGS -
This one seems to work the 1st magic. Always Turn on the show HDR control from the settings or in most cases, from the Advanced Settings. This is because if other settings are not right, turning on HDR will make things worse. And immediately we turned it off, the camera preview unfreezed but the color didn't improve.
#3 DEVICE INPUT SETTINGS
If you install a Gcam and some things are not working properly, changing the device input option can be of a great help. By default it was set to Pixel II but from my experience, Pixel IX (Coral) is most compatible for my device Realme X2.
I also tweaker a few things on the preview settings you can see it all HERE

Wanbo T6R Max can't get HDR

I just got T6R Max today and the built-in apps (Netflix, Prime, etc.) are showing way too bad image quality. I connected it to my pc and made some comparisons and pc was way better. However, still I don't think I am getting HDR image and it actually looks horrible.
It says SDR at the top left. There is an option called HDMI 2.0 and there are ''On'' ''Off'' ''Auto'' options. Can somebody explain what this option is for? My HDMI cable is KabelDirekt HDMI 2.0 18Gbit/s.
I don't know if it's supposed to show it but I can see ''No HDR'' in windows as well.
Here, I tried to show the difference. The first one is my PC monitor. The second one is T6R Max. You can see there is no detail whatsoever in the second photo. Darks are so dark. The colors are idk what to say... I tried to tweak the image a bit with the projection's options but it won't help.

I just downloaded an HDR film and put it in a usb. Tried to open it that way directly in the projector's OS. The difference is big. It is way better than what I am getting from my pc. However, I am still not sure If I am getting HDR10 content. I am a bit lost here.
1- How can I see If it is really showing HDR10?
2- Why can't I get HDR from my PC?
Edit - Day 2:
I bought Amazon Fire Sticks 4k Max today. There are good display options in that. Finally, I can see HDR text when I open it at the top left corner. However, the problem with blacks and colors is still there. So this is my conclusion: I think even though the projector supports HDR, its brightness (550 ANSI lumen) is not enough for HDR content. That is why there are no details in blacks and colors are not there. I chose adaptive HDR in the display setting and with a little bit of tweak I can see more now. There is an image quality loss, however.
But I think this is what you get with this price range I guess. If there is a way that I can improve the quality please let me know.
