Hi i'm new to the defy, and one reason for me buying it was the camcorder resolution. Now i use pays rom, but when i apply antibytes fullscreenrecording zip, the camcorder just closes, 640x480 ends up on homescreen.
it only works, when i choose lower resolution. the lgcamera app allows me to choose higher resolution, but the videos are not viewable or full of stripes or just black. I have the red lense model.
So i also tried the 720p hack, but the result is the same.
please help improving the videores is very important for me.
What did i do wrong? is Android 2.2 Froyo based on 3.4.2-164 official French release the problem?
pays only included the antibyte playback-fix, is it a known problem that fullscreenrecording doesnt work with this version?
sorry if this problem was already solved and i overread it.

I'm having a constant problem with video errors when using the camcorder on my Defy. It's like white lines coming from the top right of the screen, appearing during fast movement or with a lot of light. I did a quick search but didn't find anything so I'm kinda worried my Defy may be defective. I've embedded a sample video. Watch the top right corner.
After a few more tests I've noticed the problem occurs on the majority of videos but light makes it stands out more (white lines instead of dark lines). This is using the standard VGA mode on the camcorder. The problem is also visible while recording, it isn't something that appears only when playing back.
If it helps, my System version is Blur_Version.2.51.1.MB525.Retail.en.GB. Build number is JRDNEM_U3_2.51.1.
Any help is greatly appreciated, need to find out ASAP so I can figure out if I need to exchange it.
Look at mine...
look at this. And I cannot help it, dont know what to do.

I have the same problem while recording at VGA if something black appears in the corner. But there is no problem while recording at CIF. Using the Blur_Version.2.51.1.MB525.Retail.en.DE rom
I'm not finding a problem with CIF either, just VGA. For example using QIK there is no problem at all and that appears to use CIF.

Is there any GB rom that can record 720p video at 30 fps with normal flow (like the 800x480 option), no jerkiness and artifacts ?
I ve tried so far Leedroid 3.8.0.2, some builds of insertcoin and rcmixS but all of them had out of sync audio or artifacts and totally unacceptable quality.
Is there also any possibility that this could be fixed with the official HTC GB release ?
Thanks in advance.
Just to point out and throw it out there, our camera can't really do 720p, not the quality anyway. Just keep trying roms or knock it on the head.
Tried a couple ROMs - bottom line - no quality (like you need) 720p for the Desire.
Ok I got the point, thanks for your answers. Let's hope that HTC will do something about it in the forthcoming update.
Hi,
I flashed my Defy with standard UK MotoBlur Froyo 2.2 ROM but it seems some settings are missing from the Camera software ! (Though it works fine)
Not sure but I have seen on internet people have White Balance adjustment and some other settings. I only have scenes, effects, flash on the screen and Exposure +/- in the settings.
Are there different standard Camera apps on Froyo 2.2 ROMs ?
Is there a better thrird-party free Camera app that I can use from the market.... ?
Cheers,
General consensus seems to be lgcamera best app for photos. ( available from market) also you can patch your phone for 720p recording with same app.
As for stock camrra you have pressed the menu button on phone to see extra settings?
Yes I have pressed the settings, that gives Exp +/-. The little slide away control bar gives flash control, but not much else that I have seen on other stock camera apps.
I got the lgCamera app so I try to use that instead. I was just wondering why it was different. Thanks...
I've tried lgcamera and a number of others on my Defy and none of them have offered anything other than auto white balance. I've got the green lens (aka "SoC") camera, if that makes any difference.
The data sheet for the Omnivision camera module does say that it supports manual white balance as well as auto. It might be something as simple as turning off the AWB enable bit (bit 0) in register 0x5001, in a similar way to that found by franek123 to adjust the jpg compression as discussed in this thread. In fact I'm almost tempted to give it a try, if I can find the time.
Hi,
I am facing this rather weird problem with my motorola defy.
A brief history: I live in India and I got my phone packed with Eclair and then i updated it to Froyo.
After that I rooted my defy and then installed MIUI Gingerbread.
But then again I started missing Blur and so I flashed a UK Motoblur rom on my Defy...
But since then the Camera is not working properly.
Actual Problem:
The camera application works fine. I mean it captures pictures and videos just as it should, but i see a black screen while doing so.
I start my camera application and its a black screen so is the case with camcoder.
I have attached a screen shot of my camera application to give you a better understanding of my problem...
I cant even watch youtube videos on my cell coz that too (videos) play with a black screen.
I dont understand what is the problem. I tried clearing the Camera application cache...but it does not help.
Is there anyone who can make me understand what is wrong with my phone.
Thanks
Have you installed 2ndinit bootmenu on the phone?

Click to expand...

did you clear camera cache and thumbnails???
happened to me once
do a factory reset
apologies for n00bishly bumping a thread, but I have the same problem.
Since I rooted my phone and installed 2nd Init (I haven't flashed a new ROM yet, still on stock) youtube just gives me a black screen (sound is fine) and the same thing happens when I take a photo; the screen is visibily photo but takes a photo fine when I press the shutter
will a factory reset undo the SIM unlock?
Try uninstalling 2ndinit bootmenu.
Had the same issue, this is how it was resolved.
Hi, i've a "stock" defy+ 2.3.4 (only rooted)
I don't want to put a custom rom, but I want to improve the stock with some addons like 720p recording and if possibile battery percentage. Any hint ?
Hi, the same here (only root, not custom ROM - the stock is pretty fine)... I made 720p recording according this thread. Working fine ...
Hi guys!
The Motorola Defy + is a great phone. I bought mine on Ebay, came from UK.
I´m prety happy with stock rom too, but I wonder if it is possible to have support for the Portuguese language.The Morelocale2 don´t work with Gingerbread 2.3.4
I've installed the patch to record in 720p and it works great!!!
I've done root and I like to know how I do overclock?
Setvsel not work with Defy+ i think... any ideas?
Regards and sorry my bad english
Some questions from me too...
1. Since I rooted and installed recovery, when I check for system update the phone hangs on checking for ever without any response - is it because of rooting or what...
2. It shoots 720p, but in 3gp. LG camera sucks. Is there a way to shoot with another app 720p .mp4
3. Is there any way to put something like power widget in the notification bar - I'm used to it and I miss it a lot. Tried with power widget pro, as it has this option, but it's not working right(tried this with a couple of launchers).
