ALL THE CREDIT FOR THIS FIX GOES TO GALNET
Galnet posted a fix for 720p choppy recording in the MIUI post.
The problem I found was that it didn't work for everybody.
So, after doing a tkdiff on the changed file for the fix: media_profiles.xml, I saw that the 720p fix is a change of the recording bitrate from 12,000,000 to 10,000,000.
For my phone it wasn't enough and I was still getting choppy recordings, so lowered the bitrate even further to 5,000,000 and now I have flawless 720p recording!!!
How to fix the issue:
1) Make /etc/ R/W (use root explorer)
2) Edit the file: media_profiles.xml and change the bitrate line:
<CamcorderProfiles cameraId="0">
<EncoderProfile quality="hd" fileFormat="mp4" duration="60">
<Video codec="h264"
bitRate="12000000"
to:
bitRate="5000000"
3) save the file
4) make /etc/ R/O again
5) enjoy 720p recording
NOTES
1) HD playback is still choppy -- so you have to transfer the file to your computer to test!!!
2) You can try and increase the bitrate from 5000000 to 10000000 (which was GALNET's original value) -- and if it is still good for you great.
THANKS A LOT GALNET!!!
Somebody knows what the bitrate is for 720p videos in Samsung roms?
JVP:
quality = 'high'
fileformat = 'mp4'
duration = '60'
video codec = 'h264'
bitrate = '10000000'
width = '1080'
height = '720'
framerate = '30'

On XXJVP rom the bitrate for recorded 720p videos is ~12mbps
When on cm7 i found out that playing with different cpu governors influences the 720p choppiness more or less as well. Conservative governor messes 720p up, while on demand improved it....but didnt get rid of it.
Havent tried galnet's fix or their latest miui but on a pc the reported bitrate of 720p material from SGS is ~12mbps + ~2mbps audio track
Im on Doc kitchen jvp rom now with SGS2 camera app and works butter smooth. Its not just the recorded material that is smooth but also when panning around just after starting the camera app is very fluid (as opposed to cm7/miui)
Thanks! I also found out about this workaround by looking at the patch to 7.7, which diff showed a change from 12,000,000 (in 7.5) to 8,000,000. I don't recommend lowering that value to 5,000,000 because more kb/s = smoother video. Though I noticed something strange:
1. After upgrading to 7.7 (8,000,000 bitrate), I tried catching a HD video with MiuiCamera, that produced a very choppy video (still...) with unsynced audio.
2. I catched another 720p video with Android Camera, and the result was better, though I don't like the m4v container for the output files.
3. I used MiuiCamera to record another HD video, but this time it was perfect!
4. The following videos shot by MiuiCamera were still as good, even after a reboot, for now.
So, I don't think we require the Camera.apk to make MiuiCamera.apk work as it should. There is probably something about the governor or kernel ticks (HZ) which is clashing with the 720p recording. For the "record" (lol), I'm using the smartass governor on Zach's NEO 08, while scheduler and OC/UV don't seem to have a high relevance.
Also, why does MiuiCamera produce a 3gp video for 720p recordings, while it's clairly specified to use the mp4 container? I also used Avidemux and ffmpeg to check the video, and it has a 1280x720 resolution with H.264 and AAC codecs. So, why the 3gp extension?
EDIT: I forgot, have you understood why the m4v max bitrate was lowered to 2,000,000 while stock JVP has 12,000,000 ?
Any other feedback aside from this comment?? I would appreciate if you guys found a way recording a nice 70p vdieo from my phone
Currently on CM7 recording is bad, doen't work properly. Users from galnetMIUI forums claim that recording works fine with Chameleon release. Fix is not public, so... CM7 hasn't got proper 720p video recording
It isn't the unique change...
Probably some more changes in the kernel also.There was a thread on their forums, where a user said thar 720p recording works only with default kernel, while with custom kernels doesn't. It's quite annoying, using a stock/custom ROM based on official looks really slow for me, using CM7 feels really good and fast... but with the loose of recording, which I really need for my little girl's unique moments in life recording. The High setting for camera in CM7 makes recording possible, there are very small glitches sometimes, but it's a pitty to not use it a fully potential.
Thats not a "fix"? It just lowering the bitrate which means less smoothness and worse quality.
That aint a "fix" for the problem to me
Actually looking at the xml file mentioned in the first post, in the case of latest nightly of CM7 the value is 10000000. But, keep in mind that the post is from june, and in the meanwhile the real fix came with galnetMIUI chameleon (or something) which is later. So, they must have figured it out in the meanwhile...
worked for me
Worked for me.
I decreased HD bitRate from 10000000 to 5000000 bps
also decreased HIGH bitRate from 3000000 to 2000000
my video is now playing quite smooth.
Thanks
SGS I9000, Cyanogen 7.1.0
is this applicable to galnet miui weekly?
screwing around with the lgcamrecorder app settings may help?
on HD i' 10000000 too, but had ploblems on recording. record in format M4V, but look mediaprofiles it wrote as MP4. why it record different format?
Must have ROOT
EDIT**
I have just uploaded V2 of my profile - I have lowered the Bitrate slightly and changed from 3gp to mp4 file format.. I have also enabled 720p for the front facing camera - Let me know if the lowered bitrate still performs as well.
Folks,
This is my edited media_profile.xml for far better 720p recording.. thought I would share it..
I have upped the bitrate from just 1MB/s (default)to around 4MB/s.. for me, it is clearly better when played on my Monitor or Television.. smoother, more detail and appears clearer.
I have tried a higher bitrate but found this to be a good balance between size and quality.
I have also tried editing the xml for 1080p recording but cannot get higher than 14fps when recording so have not included it..
to install, just unrar the media_profiles.xml and copy it to /system/etc and reboot.... REMEMBER TO BACKUP YOUR ORIGINAL FIRST.
This has worked for me, but if you end up in a boot loop, pushing the original file should fix it.
Hope you enjoy it.
Bracken
Do you have a comparison video or anything? This is the kind of thing I want to see before flashing.
Nice find!
I can see the difference just watching play back on the xoom! Alot smoother...ill check out the HDMI when I get home.
Will this work on any Android device? Say my DX? I take way more video on that.

have you a stock Kernel or Custom Kernel + overclocked CPU?
Works well, I have a similar hack for my Nexus.
Easy and simple improvement for video recording.
Using Hammerhead 2.1 & Tachi OCed kernel.
@bracken21 = does this affect the still camera picture taking?
Thank you very much, great mod.
Hi,
@Sergio PC -This does not affect the picture quality only the video..
@twister_65 -I had this completely on stock 3.1 with stock kernel and worked fined.. I'm now running it with Hammerhead 2.1 & Tachi OCed kernel.
Even OCed @1.6, when I enable 1080p recording there is no increase in FPS, it stays at around 14FPS.. I presume the actual sensor is not capable of [email protected]
@mradlauer - I have no idea if this could be done to the DX, I presume so, but what resolution, bitrate and FPS would depend on the device.. if its anything like the Xoom, putting in an unsupported profile may result in a boot loop ?
If there is interest I can upload another profile with settings as follows... but I find it pointless as 1080p @ 14fps is unwatchable.. I have tried increasing/decreasing the Bitrate but still only does 14fps.
1080p 6MB/s @ 14fps when high quality selected.
720p 4MB/s @ 30 when low quality selected.
720p @ 30fps for front facing camera.
Thanks
Bracken
720p for front would be awesome.
Great, i just would love to have it recording in MP4
€: Wait, trying it now
€²: Works Thx for This
Would changing any of these lines to 100 improve photo quality too?

truly great work here. thank you
im just surprised no one had done this sooner, but better late than never!!
ive only played wtih it for litterally 30 seconds however i noticed that upon pressing the record button for a video using the front facing camera, it zooms in and stretches the image vertically in the preview window. i dont think that it actually records it like this but it seems to be some sort of graphical glitch....maybe you could look into it?
id like to say thanks again. did you change anything for the still images in v2 or somthing? because i no longer see those weird lines when taking photos with the front facing camera.
THANKS!

I've noticed the same issue when recording from the front camera
Excuse me, but trying this mod, I realized that the zoom in camera mode does not work. And 'this normal?
Thanks!
zoom isnt working in video mode for me either.
although i cant remember if we were ever able to.....
can you add this ?
I tried now, even the stock 3.1 does not allow it. Is there any mod ?
Regards!
Nice find.
Pretty easy to increase or lower the bitrate yourself.
I personally upped the bitrate to 35MB/s for 720p.
Adjusted the 480p resolution to 720x480 @ 20Mb/s for quick and easy converts straight to dvd with no resolution changes.
Adjusted the audio bitrate to 256kbps, sample rate to 48khz and enabled stereo recording.
Sweet stuff.
edit: Tried shooting for 60fps but it forced closed as soon as I tried to select video recording

35MB/s is 2.1Gb per minute - that would give you around 15 mins recording on 720p on 32gb card. Plus with the size of sensor and optics, im guessing you wont see quality increase above 3MB - 4MB/s and even that is asking alot of the camera due to the noise levels and lack of light/detail passing through the small plastic lens. As for stereo recording, I thought the Xoom only had 1 mic ?
Being that bluray movies are around 34MB/s.. I think asking a small plastic lens on the xoom to do that a little much. Also the tegra 2 is listed at only supporting 20Mb... did you also amend the codec maximum bitrate as its currently set to around 5MBs.. if not, you will actually be recording @ 5MB/s.. Also, is 35MB/s over the write limit for xoom internal storage.. I could be wrong but even a class 10 cards only write at around 10MBs and reads @ 30Mbs ?
If you want to try 60fps, you would also need to amend not just the recording values but the codec preference and possible the memCap too.. ive not tried it yet, may give it a go.
Im not trying to have a go at you, just stating that your filling your xoom up for no reason... in a long winded blurbing kind away.. not had my coffee yet..
As for the problem with front camera zooming in on 720p, nothing I can do about this, that fix would be above my head.. My guess is that the google camera apk would need amended for 16:9... my knowledge of Android goes as far as this little dirty hack.
Cheers

bummer on the zoom and front face stretch problem... Gonna have to revert to stock unless fixed in the future... Will subscribe for updates in case. Nice for folks that don't mind those couple details though

Hi, just revert to version 1, it keeps the front camera stock and rear camera is improved..
As for the people not being able zoom, you can't zoom in video mode using stock... well mines never has.
I wish I knew how to port the camera front the Samsung 10.1 tab, does any one know how?
Cheers

OK,I guess most experienced people would know about this,but still,here goes.
If you have a root browser(downloadable from play store),then you can edit the media_profiles.XML found in system/etc.
This can be edited to get your video recording from 640*480 @ 24fps to 720*480 @ 30 fps.(This is excellent for viewing on the wildfire S.)While technically higher resolutions and frame rates are possible,the stock Gingerbread camcorder app doesn't seem to list it in settings.Plus,higher frame rates don't work properly for me anyway.
So,here's how to do it :
In media_profiles.XML,under encoder profile high, change the width to 720,height to 480 and frame rate to 30.
(I'm not really sure about the following part,although no harm in trying.I'm just not sure whether this is really necessary).
Under each of the encoders below that (h264,h263,m4v) make the maximum height and width to anything you want above 720*480 and frame rate(if below 30) to 30.Max bitrates can be changed too,if you want.
I think its possible to change the camera encoding quality too,although for general day to day purposes,It's not too useful.
I'm open to any suggestions/Improvements if found.
Thanks for reading!
have u tried it??

Well,yeah.I don't see how I could have known this otherwise.
Actualy on the stock 2.26 these values are 720/480/24 by default dunno what rom were you testing this at.
If you do it once,even if you completely reset it,it goes to 720*480/24.
Maybe it's an update by HTC,as initially it's supposed to be 640*480/24.
Anyway the main thing is changing the framerate to 30 fps.....really improves overall video recording.
Hello, respected developers!
As the topics concerning camera app are slowly fading down, I start a new one here.
I tried both existing mods/apps of a 4.1 standard camera and a custom apps like lgCamera. Still I can't get 25 fps in recorded videos even when I set it to this particular value. I can get it when i use AxelVoyager in-car videorecorder, but it's quite buggy and not that common-to-operate and this setting must be applied manually every time before I start record.
I need this 25 fps setting because my other video recordings are in PAL (25 fps) and it's not a common task to convert fps correctly to match each other.
As far as I can understand with my many-years-ago-IT-background, this should not be a problem for an experienced person to compile a version of a standard camera app with pathced media profiles that have 25 instead of 30 fps in 1080p and 720p HD media-profiles. So I kindly ask for that.
Thanks.

awesome! thanks man!!
Does this just affect the stock camera app? I am using focal, would I see any benefit to this?
just curious, what do you mean by less juddering at night? like, a higher framerate when in low light situations when taking pics? bc mine's just as slow as before.
or did you mean videos? it's still shooting lower than 30fps..i'm getting around 17 or so. i wish there was a way to force FPS in all lighting
question, is there a way for you to up the quality of pics taken during recording? they're only like 500kb and i remember reading like 1mp somewhere. they're really bad.
also, how about panorama mode? is there a way for you to up that quality? panorama is really low stock as well.

Which toolchain are you using?
@op - does the flashable zip file intentionally place camera.msm8974.so in the /system/hw folder (as structured in the zip file)? i ask because on on my att G2, the file camera.msm8974.so is located in the /system/lib/hw folder. (i typically create backups of files replaced by custom mods). thanks!
Test ISO image
This is a test image one could print out to compare before and after changes.
Without having a setup that we can really 'pixel peep' accurately it's hard to determine if what we are doing is improving or worth improving.
Anyway, hopefully we can set up some tests to compare the different improvements and get this camera performing decently. My feeling at this point is that LG needed to rush the G2 to market to beat the iPhone 5s/5c and Note 3 so there are some rough spots on an otherwise nice gem of a camera. Until LG devotes some time to improving the issues let's keep up the good work!
