Camcorder bitrate - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Camcorder bitrate - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
Is there any way, to change the video recording bitrate? The default bitrates makes very blocky videos... (Or maybe possibility of mjpeg encoding?)

No one knows?

How To:
Step 1) Fire up the camcorder.
Step 2) Touch the little arrow thing on the left of the screen, to bring up the menu.
Step 3) Touch the little gear thing at the bottom left of the menu to bring up the settings.
Step 4) Touch "Resolution"
Step 5) Select "WVGA 800 x 480"
Step 6) ??????
Step 7) Profit*
*Unless it is already set that high, in which case you realize the camcorder just isn't that great...

Separate shortcuts to video/stills cams?

Is there a way of having separate shortcuts to the video and stills camera modes? I'd like to have quick 1-touch access to either the stills camera or the video camera, without having to go into the camera settings and select the mode once in the app.

Yes. spb Mobile Shell (well worth the money...get rid of Windows default and TouchFlo 3D). Once loaded just hold your finger down on the home screen to enter edit mode. Then click the + button in lower right corner. Then choose the Shortcut icon. hen choose Multimedia. Then choose Camera. Now you have the option of choosing either Photo or Video. I have the two icons side by side and can pull up either Camera or Video with the touch of one button.

[Q] Fine Manual Focus...by increments

I was just wondering if anyone hacked the manual focus in our EVO's to truly make it a manual focus so you can adjust each increment of focus in or out...as it is now you tap on the screen and it does an auto focus on the target area...but many times when too close it zooms in clearly but zooms back out...if we could manually focus ourselves then we could zoom it in step by step until we see the object clearly...like create a + and - button for zoom...is this possible?
thanks

i dont see why it wouldnt be possible. im just here to thank you because i didnt know you can selectivly focus by tapping.
THANKS!

Haalireader touch version

Since mainstream WM phones are lack of keys, I added some touch control to HR for easy control, so I named it as Taali Reader
I just found someone has done the similar work in 2009
. the screen is divided into 6 parts, can be configrated in General menu. Please note the bottom 2 parts' width ratio can be configrated specially for "Pagedown".
. Gestrues.
Up: Dictionary mode switch.
Down: Minimize.
Left: Back. Back from dictionary mode.
Right: Change favorite fontsize, configrate them in Display menu.
. Backlight, keep backlight for about 2min when touched.

Usage:
Select your default encoding in File format menu, will open with this coding next time.
Less bug in Fullscreen mode
Only tested on WM6.5+WVGA.

[Q] Is there a way to have Gameboid display in fullscreen?

The window it displays in is so tiny even after i use 2x scaling. Is there a way to get it to stretch to full screen? the built in fullscreen option doesnt seem to do anything

You need to go to Audio & video settings > Scaling mode and select Stretched.
Game Boy Advance's resolution is 240x160, so if you just up it twice, you still don't fill the Play's 854x480 resolution.
Fullscreen option only gets rid of the status bar.

General [experimental, probably useless?] Guide: how to spoof P6P (Raven) to P7P (Cheetah) and get new camera feature

First of all I'm not sure if this method is common knowledge around here or not, but I didn't see any posts about this, so I thought I'd share my findings.
I realize most people don't care about this stuff but it's a little experiment I did on my P6P, mostly for fun, and also because well, we don't know for sure if previous Pixels will get ANY feature from the 7 series.
And yes I know that at some point, we are most likely gonna get modded GCam builds that bring us some of the features from the Pixel 7 series.
Working features:
- faster Night Sight with exposure slider (choose between default/longer exposure time), works on all lenses (wide, main, tele, selfie).
- portrait mode (no apparent changes in functionality)
- video (no apparent changes)
Broken/not working properly:
- cinematic mode: it does record and Google Photos does recognize videos that were taken in this mode as "Cinematic", BUT no blur is applied whatsoever.
- switching lenses in CAMERA (normal) mode: cannot switch to ultra wide or telephoto for some reason. Switching the lenses works in video and Night sight modes.
- 10-bit HDR: Yep, this one doesn't work either. Viewfinder becomes completely black when 10 bit HDR is enabled...
Before we get started, here's what you need:
- a rooted Pixel 6 Pro (obviously )
- MagiskHideProps module, can be found here : https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/MagiskHidePropsConf/releases
- Termux app
- printslist file (.zip containing the file is attached to this post)
- latest Google Camera .apk https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...ra-8-7-165-479933554-19-android-apk-download/ (get the SPLIT version, it can be installed with SAI - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aefyr.sai&hl=en&gl=US)
Now that we've got everything we need, how do we do this?:
1. First thing you gotta do is take the "printslist" file from the printslist.zip and simply place it at the root of your storage.
2. Next, open up Termux. Type "su" and press enter. Now type "props" and the Magiskhideprops menu will appear.
3. What we want to do now is change the device's fingerprint to the Pixel 7 Pro one. Type "1" and press enter. Now "f" to "pick a certified fingerprint".
4. A long list of phone brands will appear. We are looking to add a CUSTOM fingerprint, the one that's in the "printslist" file we moved earlier. "3" is the command for "Custom" fingerprint. Press enter, and finally, type "1" to pick Google Pixel 7 Pro. Type "y" and enter.
5. When asked whether you want to reboot for changes to take effect, choose "n" (we'll reboot in the next steps)
6. Now go back to the main menu of MagiskHideProps, using "b" (three times to be exact).
7. The option we're interested in now, is Device Simulation. Enter "3".
8. In device simulation, enter "s" and then "y" to enable basic device simulation.
9. Finally, type "1,2,3" (with commas) in order to select ro.product.brand, ro.product.name, and ro.product.device.
10. Enter "1" to enable. And now you can pick the option to reboot.

Easy peasy, all you gotta do is disable Device Simulation. You disable it the same way you enable it. Just enter "3" in the main menu of MagiskHideProps within Termux. I'm sure you can figure out the next steps.

Thank you mateNice research and

What about features like Photo unblur in Google photos ?

Unfortunately the option does not appear.

What about new 2x method(instead of simple crop)?

Can I use this for my pixel 6?

I think it's something to do with needing some exclusive on-device app to enable it.

Ah okay here's what's missing.
- Macro Mode
- 10 bit HDR
- EIS Zoom (see this video here
).
The pixel 7 pro engages EIS when you zoom to 15x which this does, but fails to lock in
- Zoom ML upscaler (look in Google Super Res Zoom blog, it engages at 20x zoom)
That's what I noticed, could be wrong

I cannot really test Fusion Zoom just yet as well. Blog post here https://blog.google/products/pixel/super-res-zoom-google-pixel
It does have a better zoom UI imo

You can try to use BSG's gcam, set the model to Pixel 7 Pro, and the UI interface will be completely changed to be consistent with 7Pro. 10-bit HDR sometimes "works" for me, it outputs a video with the HDR logo in Google Photos but mostly it's the other way around and I can't confirm if the HDR video captured this way is real.

The 10 bit HDR will activate, but it doesn't produce a 10 bit HDR video (based on my findings)
