FadCam v3.0.0-beta

[anonfaded]

FadCam 3.0.0-beta is here!

The biggest open-source update yet — introducing FadRec, a feature-rich screen recorder built right into FadCam for effortless recording, annotation, and creative project building, letting you design story-like layouts just like Instagram.

Important

The annotation tools are still a work in progress and not yet feature-complete.

---

New features:

• A new FadRec tab on the home screen for screen recording
• The Records tab now displays screen recordings with the FadRec_ prefix
• A sidebar overlay menu for instant access to screen recording controls
• Screen annotation tools including pen, eraser, text, and shapes, plus advanced options like page and layer management, and a soft delete architecture with undo/redo version control and a built-in project management system that automatically saves each project

Tip

Standalone Beta Installation — FadCam Beta can now be installed alongside the main FadCam app without uninstalling it. The beta version has its own storage and operates fully isolated, making it easy for testers to run both versions simultaneously.

i will check the overlay deeply, issues are with latest android versions only and not on mine. I will update you here shortly

Fixed and updated apk. Now it won't crash the app and will work fine.

[guguss-31]

All work fine ! Thanks !

Yeah same crash for on A16
I want to know if possible to add about timezone too like GMT, UTC etc on timestamp watermark at end of it i.e (UTC-8)

[anonfaded]

The watermark feature is separate than fadrec, unrelated but yes possible and will do it someday.
Regarding the crash can you please share debug logs by enabling it from settings of fadcam app and then reproduce the issue.

Hey, love this. I had a question, I can only seem to do 4k 60fps on my ultrawide camera, all other lenses are called at 30fps in the app. But in my camera app, I can record 4k 60fps on all my lenses. Is there a reason for this?
FYI my phone is the oppo find x9 pro. So plenty powerful for 60fps

very likely there is vendor limitation on your device as the fps feature already scans the hardware and list all the available one. Never compare third party cameras with stock camera, stock camera uses private APIs that are mostly not exposed to third party cameras. Recently we spent a lot of time on frame rate feature and it just doesn't work on some devices which on some it works. Some users confirmed this as well that after upgrading their android versions, they lost the 60+ frame rate feature. In future we can try again but at the moment its not worth it to waste time on this feature.

Appreciate the reply, I guess you can only do what has been opened up to developers, private APIs just kick stuff down for no reason. One day maybe

Yeah, on some devices there are too much restrictions for no reason and without any documentation even. Google pixel seem the most open as they even let us use 90+ frame rate for recording

Замечательное обновление, появилось много полезных настроек, хотелось бы еще выбор мегапикселей, на OnePlus 13 снимает в режиме 2мр а не 50мр

I didn't understand please elaborate. What do you mean megapixels...?

[kirill-dav]

I meant that
there is no
option to select
the photo resolution in megapixels in the app's camera settings. For example, in

It would be convenient if the update

The resolution are auto detected and added to that dropdown list in resolution settings. On many devices there seem vendor restrictions which is not letting third party camera apps access private APIs like on some devices the 60+ frame rate doesn't work and on some maybe this resolution. Currently I'm not sure about this as its very hard to test without having such device. In future we may find some way to find the bugs and fix them but for now things are tricky due to vendor limitations as well.

Due to fragmented mp4 format migration there are issues with playback but I'm working on it at the moment so wait for next announcement about release
