How To Remove 5 Minute 4K Camera Recording Limit on Galaxy Note 5

The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 has one of the best camera sensors in the world. It produces high quality pictures that no other phone besides the Samsung Galaxy S6 can take. Captured pictures are detailed and can be zoomed in without loosing any quality thanks to the high-resolution 16 MP camera.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 has a 16 MP main camera which can record 4K videos, 1080p videos at 60fp and slow motion videos. However, if you have tried the 4K video recording on the Samsung Galaxy Note 5, you have probably noticed that video recording stops after 5 minutes. This is a limit set by Samsung which basically allows only 5 minutes of 4K video recording.

Since this is a software limit set by Samsung, it can be removed with root access. Recognized contributor kevinrocksman, has done exactly this. It has modified the camera file of the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and has removed the 5 minute 4K recording limit.
