Ok guys new update!

after so many backtraces here's my progress log.

1. Camera taking picture now works!.
2. Normal video record works!
3. 4k works!
4. 120fps crashes when recording but preview/viewfinder works!(it's working on 60fps on media_profile.xml)

I will try to solve 120fps as of the moment. But if I can't get this work until tomorrow I'll post the 4k patch with 60fps timeshift video tomorrow

Also please note. This is only tested on Xperia Z1 Compact firmware 14.3.A.0.757 I can't guarantee this to be compatible on other firmwares/devices.

This News Made my day. A question though
-Does the mod do 1080p @60fps?
-Is there a 5 minute limitation on 4k video as the Xperia Z2?

ThanX

I've got camera snapshots working by adding some more libs: *kakao* and *choko*. 4 still broken. I tried adding the AAC enc lib, no luck. More tomorrow.

Do we have 120 FPS with this or we are stucked with 60fps ?

EDIT - Nevermind it's still 120 fps (+ now the ability to take pictures), thank you !

Yup, 120fps works along with the regular camera. 4k crashes as expected. I'll provide some more footage and will try to flash the Z2 rom or at least part of it to my Z1 again as I realised just today that what I flashed before was just a deodex +root package. Downloading the rom right now. I plan to flash it tomorrow.

I'm not sure if this is something on my side, but just your latest zip + supervideocamera didn't work, I had just a black camera view, but flashing the zip you PM'd me and then the latest in your post above worked well.

Sample Timeshift Video (recorded with Xperia Z2)

Changelog

UPDATE v1.3:

Fix duplicate entries of 4k & Timeshift Video in camera add on selector box

UPDATE v1.2:

Fix Timeshift Burst compatibility

UPDATE v1.1:

Fixed force close error in Timeshift Video menu

Proper version naming of flashable zip

UPDATE(06-06-2014):

Temporarily disabled steadyshot in 4k video app.

Moved launcher icons from app drawer to Xperia Camera addons box

Updated libs to fix some low level errors in logcat

Replaced dependency libs with new Z2 firmware libs

How to install:

1. Make sure that your phone is rooted, no other camera mods & deodexed.
2. If you haven't yet... Apply superusermod either by modifying your system files or using xposed framework.
3. Install zip file using recovery.
4. Done.

UPDATE(06-05-2014): Everything working now(except steadyshot in 4k) thanks to @lagalaga
Edit: I reuploaded a new zip file that contains the SuperVideoCamera apk.

Also please take note that my patch is only tested on a Xperia Z1 Compact kitkat firmware. I haven't tested it on a Xperia Z1 yet so feedback from you guys would be appreciated. So I can publish the 60fps version if it works on majority of the users here. If it's not working please upload a stock version of the libs matching those on the patch so I could create a different one for you guys.

And as for the Xperia Z carefully try the patch first and if it's not working I need a clean stock system dump so I can have a look at if I can port it on your devices.

i tested the 4k-60frms. First open the apps seems to work but after push the red botton, the screen freeze and the video doesn't get saved. The second time the screen goes black. :c. tested on 757 custom rom kitslim. supersusermod. Z2 camport. Also, camera break.

Update-
@Riyal
After the reboot all is working. 4k-cam-timeshift.

@PinG91

Hi! After that please reboot and try timeshift video. Does it work? If no please send me a copy of your stock libs matching those on the zip so I could compare.

And oh make sure your camera is set to save videos on internal storage instead of sd card. class 8 and below cards can't cope up with the IO of 4k.

(Posted in general section and here for viewability)

I tried out your 60FPS Timeshift+4K video (the second one) with iHackers ROM KK, locked BL. Wiped dalvik cache during install.

I can confirm 4K video is working. It's working great! No hiccups whatsoever. It appears the audio lag present in the Z2 is not here either, but I can't confirm that since I don't have a Z2, but it looks like audio is synced fine!

Camera is also working fine, so is 1080P video. Phone gets really hot recording 4K but that is expected. Great, great stuff! Thank you! All we need is 120FPS Timeshift and we're set! :laugh:

Riyal · Jun 5, 2014

Thanks for the feedback! And glad it's working!

Anyways it's really weird that some users are facing issue with using 4k. In fact even @lagalaga is encountering this issue to think that he initiated the 4k port. This isn't device specific nor firmware specific so I having a hard time figuring out what's causing some of the issues.

And yes it's working fine on me too

Not sure about the A/V sync issue on Xperia Z2 though I don't have that device too so I'm unaware of such.

And yeah I agree. I really want 120fps on my phone and also tap2wake I don't even care about 4k lol! Though progress is still progress. I hope this could attract some more devs to help us like @krabappel2548 since he was the first one who attempted this.

Hi! I'm not sure about 1080p @60fps. I would assume no. Does it exist on Z2? If yes then I think it would require a port of the regular camera app rather than the supervideo add on camera.

With regards to 5minute limit I haven't tried yet. You can flash the zip below though and try it for yourself. 9 to 10mb/s seems too big I don't think I have enough free space to test a 5minute 4k video though...

Yeah, it's weird, I am getting a black screen as well. Perhaps we have different superVideoCamera.apk files - I might have to try yours. I don't really care about 4k, though

I think we should compare logcats.

My latest zip should enable 120fps and taking pictures - so maybe we can combine our magic. @olokos says the first zip I provided is necessary as well.

jancarlos1597 · Jun 5, 2014

YAY!!!!!!!!!!

All is working man, thanks for this, been waiting for months

The only "problem" i have right now is that i can't edit videos on timeshift video app... i dunno why...

Then, everything is working alright.

Thanks you, and thanks @lagalaga for this.

You have to use the in built video editor to slow down time. It doesn't work through the timeshift app.

Hopefully fixed, need libmmcamera2* - let me know @Chocolatetrain @Riyal @albertobom - obviously needs fresh system partition to show a difference. This should get it working for @Chocolatetrain (who pm'ed me).

UNTESTED! Flash at your own risk!

hi, I tested this on my xperia z, not working as expected, I can make a system dump of my stock rom tomorrow if you wish

Camera not available error popping up. What to do?

I've tested your zip in combination of the superVideoCamera.apk of Riyal. 4K and Timeshift Video 120 FPS seem to be working!! Only issue is that whitebalance seems to not work. Even the manual -2 -1 0 +1 +2 slider to brighten or darken the video doesn't change the output. Taking a photo works with whitebalance.

Great progress!!

kantk20111 · Jun 5, 2014

I think I found a bug with Riyal's working 4k/60fps timeshift combo. When I activate SteadyShot in 4K and press the record button the whole app freezes and doesn't record anything. It works fine without steadyshot. Can someone please confirm?

jancarlos1597 · Jun 5, 2014

I flashed "camera_libs_flashable_1401941205.zip" and It is working, but when i check the FPS, it's say 25 FPS WTF :|

Tomorrow i'll give it a look!
