720p camera htc desire

guys and ladies
720p was working 100% on the official froyo rom right?
or was there issues also?
wondering why its not working on the 2.3.3 roms and wondering if it will be fixed with the official release?

I had some problems with sound.
It was always dissynchronized.
I think it happens because of MPEG-codec..

also fps was bad
even with change in ISO settings to 800
basically it tries to reduce noice by lowering Framerate.
that suck...too much motion blur and low quality video recording in the end
i loved my 30fps recording on nokia

I have the Leedroid 3.3.3 ROM on my HTC Desire, and when i try to record 720p in the mp4 format it does lag alot. However when i changed the file format to .3gp it seems to be working alot better now than it did on when it was set at .mp4.

Improved 720p recording for both font and back camera - mp4 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.

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

Any fix or alternative for Audio in Camcorder?

I find the HTC Droid Incredible Camcorder app decent to record on, and wouldn't mind it HAD IT BEEN they didn't make the audio recording horrible.
It records at a 8Khz AMR format........any solution or alternative to this?
I've tried lgCamera, but it freezes / skips / lags to much and causes the audio to desync.

Did you try Videocam Illusions? That will let you set the audio much higher, though you will lose some video quality as compared to the stock camcorder.

...and for 720p on the dinc, you're gonna need an app that uses hardware encoding, in other words, something that uses the stock camcorder.

lgCamera has 720p, it just skips a little bit and that desyncs audio. Any ported APPs or something I could use from like a different phone or something?

60fps or 50fps

I was searching for some mods for this phone (Samsung Galaxy a30s EU DISTRIBUTION) to get 50 or 60 fps video recording working. Ideally 1080p, but 720p is also fine. I didn't find anything working. I looked into the slow motion mode, and on the preview, I saw 720p60fps. So it must be possible to do it in normal speed. Any ideas? Thanks. PS: I was able to do it on my old 12MP redmi note 4, so it must be possible on this guy.

What do you mean 60fps ??? On video recording ????

I See that the normal camera from Samsung does 30fps at 1080p and 720p. I have tested a few apps that might support 60fps at 720p or 1080p. But no luck i have tried quite a few apps. Either the app stops working. Or it gives you a error that 60fps is not supported. I have tried 5 diffrent versions of Google Camera Modded. Open Camera ( This app says its not supported cause you can select at which fps to shoot at) and MX camera which also just allowed me to to shoot at 30fps only (Matter in fact it shot at 21 fps not 30fps)

Ok nvm I will just buy a GoPro

HedgeCam maxed out at 1440x1080 60fps. You can also change the bitrate but I haven't compared the quality yet.

Exact settings

Can you tell me your exact settings? I downloaded the official hedgecam 2 from the play store, set 1440x1080 and 60 fps, frame rate not supported. If I enabled camera api 2, it just records it on 30 fps. Can you tell me the exact settings of your cam? Thanks in advance.

How did you enable Camera2Api?

Can we enable 60 FPS Video Recording on M51?

Hi All,
Can we enable 60 FPS Video Recording on M51?
It is just so infuriating that Samsung disabled the 60 FPS Video Recording on this phone, it is just incredible...
We have super slow motion, but we don't have 60 FPS Video Recording....
Please let me know if there are any option to enable this.
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Vlad

There are phones that can record 1080p 240 fps with same sensor. Encoder supports up to 127 fps in 1080p, so I don't think we can simply add a media profile and fix this. I couldn't find anything about 1080p slow motion or just 60 fps in samsung's camera app but there were some methods to check super slow motion's maximum time, probably for 960 fps fake slow motion. Samsung's camera app has a hidden camera api key to check available samsung features in the device but I don't remember anything about slow-mo. There were hdr10 support, something about 64 mp stream and a few useless samsung stuff. I think we need to modify camera libs for 60 fps.

If you are rooted you can,just search for galaxy a71 60fps (same hardware as m51)

have u try open camera app? 240 fps... not perfect but

Provideo works but 60fps mode has stuttering issues.

M51? Did you enabled through camera-features.xml? Or sam thrid party app?
Make shure video stabilization is disabled for 60FPS

Through camera-features.xml. 24fps and 60fps causes stuttering.
I can try with your camera-features.xml too if you can upload here.

@FelipeHiroshi
It is still wobbly and it is not 60fps. Example in the attachments.
I'll check media profiles too and let you know if i get any progress.

So here i am attaching media profiles and a moddified mixer path that give stereo sound from a A71 same SoC

Results:
* camera is still the same
* music is playing from call speaker
A camera that can take ultra slow-motion should at least take 60fps videos. I'm suspecting that Samsung disabled it in driver level.

Thats quite sad but you can try 120fps like on the A50 mod that not supporting 24 and 60.
About the sound mod is playing from both speakers? They are sync? Because on the a71 i need to moddify Acdb files to put with sync

It's only playing from the call speaker, not the loud one. A50 mod works only on previewing but still stutters while recording.
I'll compare A71 & M51 devices trees in an empty day.
