I'm running NFSFAN 6.5 V16 on a sprint vogue with radio 3.42.30
Ever since I got this phone the video quality has sucked. When i upgraded to NFSFAN's rom v10 i was thrilled to see higher quality video modes "L" and "CiF". However the problem that has plagued me since i first tried to use these modes, even up to v16, has been bad lags in the video. It's the recording, not the playback, tried to play it back on both the phone and computer, with the same result.
I have searched for this and asked before with no reply
- is there a fix for the laggy video when trying to record in L and CiF modes?
Looking for the same answer to the same question. I noticed in NFSFAN's 6.1 latest releases, he had more formats. MotionJPEG was one of them, and guess what? I recorded 320x240 without any lags!!! So if that's important for you, get 6.1. I have no idea why NFSFAN removed this format from WM6.5 camera app, but I confirm that most formats lag, or have crappy quality.
I found some Camera registry tweaks as well, but changing settings don't give any results.
really wish NFSFAN could add back more flexibility back into the camera to shoot better quality video. Looks like crap right now.
the video recording was fixed in 6.5 also there is a seperate fix somewhere else on the board if you dont want to upgrade to 6.5

hiya, i'm really thinking of getting a BlueAngel (SPV M2000 (orange obviously)) and well it has all the things that are great and hence there being a whole site devoted to it...
My only doubts are Video quality. Would it be possible for someone (or more) to record a short video of anything, and try it on various settings (320x240, no sound, overclocking etc...) and post it on here please
Also, what is your opinion on the camera? do you think it lacks or do you think its good for the device?
ok thanks alot you guys if you cannot upload for whatever reason, send it vie email to [email protected] (add me if you wish, the more people, the merrier! )
The camera might as well not be there it is so bad. Maybe look at the Tytn (SPV M3100) it is a great phone and the camera is very good.
I can send you some photos and some videos of my cat I have taken on it if you want.
yeh that would be great haha thanks i'll pm you too and ask
Camera in BA is poor, but its ONLY for MMS, so Ppcnut, dont treat it so badly.
Curiously, before take picture, preview quality is good, (in BA) but after shoot the photo, quality decrease as though ISO goes VeryHigh to create undesirable effects.
To result from that, video recording is very good, only 15fps, but quality is good.
So maybe cam drivers can resolve that problem?
hello
I was wondering whether there is an app out there that enables you to record video in 640*480 resolution, where the quality of the video is similar to the N95.
If processing power is a problem, i can overclock to 260Mhz (and higher if necessary).
All comments are welcome.
Thanks in advance, Uzzy
i'm pretty sure it's a hardware limitation and not a software one.
CoolCamera in theory is supposed to give VGA recording, but whether it's the same quality as the N95 is another question.

I've played about with this in the past, but it always seems a little slow, but it has so many settings that it could be something that just need tinkering with.
Good luck
other programs
are there any other programs for web cam and working good?
Maybe lots have come across the video playback problems with the HTC Trinity - the annoying green screen instead of the video playback.
I've recently realized that all the problems are caused by the HTC Camera. The video files are being played smoothly until you start the camera.
Upgrading the camera program didn't help. Is there anything I can do to solve this issue?

i think that you must change your software rom ... it must be a codec problem ...
I've tested several roms (WM5 & WM6) - every time the problem is identical - I've never had a ROM with proper video playback. I thought that this is common issue until I realized that the camera software caused it.
I don't understand what do you mean by video files are being played smoothly until you start the camera...
why do you start your camera if you're playing your videos?
No ... I usually don't watch videos while taking pictures
I watch videos ... everything is cool ... then close player ... than start camera ... taking photos etc. ... I close the camera ... if I want to start watching videos again - I can't.
Does anyone have solution?
I had the same problem as you but i never managed to track down what i did differently each time for the green screen, all i knew was that if i watched a video, i knew i would have to restart because otherwise ALL videos would show the green screen. I have solved the problem now by just updating my Coreplayer/TCMP player.
Have you found another cure yet?

I use latest version of both ... this does not solve the problem (at least my problem )
Oh no, i thought that would of fixed it. I guess i havnt used mine enought to discover its still bad. Lets hope someone finds a cure
Thank you in advance
Unfortunately it turns out (this is just my opinion of course) that the cure will be new camera application or new video driver.
Who will do it ... HTC genius engineer stuff ... I don't think so ?
Just think of the problems with TyTn II users and guess when this will happen
Hi,
Now I know the TP2 is not a digicam ... But can anyone share any tips on how to get the best out of the TP2 for video recording.
Some thoughts I have include:
1) Fast SD card
2) 3rd party video software???
3) Improving fps from 12.5. I guess reducing resolution..??
However I appreciate the TP2 is a phone .... but with some jolly useful extras.
Thanks,
Sam
i havent try but maybe apps like coolcamera?
Hi guys
A quick one. When recording with the touch pro 2 is there a black border to the right side of the picture you are recording? that means the picture you are recording doesnt fill the screen. I just noticed this tonite and i dont think this has always been the case
since I posted my question over 30 people have read it but have just moved along without helping. This isnt a difficult question and all someone has to do is pick up their phone, launch the camera and click on video recording to see if the black border exists. This should not even take you a minute but people just read and move on. If I start a new thread asking my specific question, you,ll get some id1ots talking rubbish about using the search function. well I have and it doesnt return any results for my query. So is there any sensible person out there willing to check this out for me?

Hi Lombardo8,
Yes, there is black strip on the right side of the screen but ONLY when you save video. When you play this video it is over full screen.
Sorry for my "English".

Nino
Thank you very much Nino. Have a nice day
12.5 fps? Probably for videos meant as video messages (eg vzw flix mms). But with Mp4 I had 15-20 fps even in 640x480. Best advice. use MP4 video. Stay away from H.264 because that is CPU heavy and results in blocky looking video. Black border on the right side? It only means you are not recording in widescreen mode and does not show up in playback. Select the widescreen option in advanced options and border is gone. Not sure if this will work on video, but it does on pics.
I'm not all too thrilled with CoolCamera. First, it's buggy as hell. Second, it's not free. And third, it doesn't work on all devices. I tried it on my Q9M about a year ago. Hasn't been updated since then. Since the Q9m has a crappy camera, I wanted more options. Unfortunately this program didn't help, as the options didn't work on that phone. The camera on my TP2, different story. Very advanced compared to the Q's crappy setup. Don't even want to try CoolCamera on this thinking it might be worse off than factory HtcCamera. There have to be better options then that program (CoolCam). The developer of that app has focused on his webcam app instead.
How did you get your camera to record at 640x480 my Tilt2 doesnt seem to have that option
Hi
I am having issues on all CM based ROMs
I have a Canadian Variant of this phone
My camera recording is not working correctly.
Recorded video looks interlaced. Like lines of pixels don't line up when things move if played back on the phone or on VLC player. On Windows media player video playback is choppy like frames are missing.
When sent through any sharing program (Watsapp, Facebook etc) recipient only sees black screen with sound.
When i upload video to Google back up or YouTube video playback is normal but quality seams diminished.
On TW based ROMs i don't have this issue.
Reading through the forums i found other people complaining about this but have failed to find a solution.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Its been bug that has been there for over a year, so dont get your hopes up.
Which roms have you tried that worked? Neither of the ones I have tested works.
