Writing this thread to compile my discoveries about 480p and 720p.
Using asop roms, there's only 480p available... with default camera it kind of lags sometimes...with occasional audio sync issues.... but when i use lgcamera and mono recording with no aac encoding (very bad sound), there's audio issues... framerate can be bad at times though.
using sense roms, 720p never works well.... lags all the time, choppy and audio completely out of sync... 480p also mostly does not work well on default camera...
on lgcamera wth some low aac settings at 480p, you can get decent recordings but if you record for too long, you can have audio sync issues...
with aac disabled, at 480p, recording is decent with no audio sync issues but audio is horrible...
i am using a class 10 kingston sd card.
Can you guys share your experience? i would be satisfied to find the perfect setup for good 480p with good audio .(i know 720p is impossible on htc desire)... thx in advance for your contributions!
i just downloaded sd card tester.. my writing speed is 2.6mb/s and reading speed 9.92mb/s!! it's supposed to be a class 10 card!!! i think i got ripped off??
Take your card in reader if possible and test with crystalmark.
ok thx will try that...
look at that thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523018
is there such thread for htc desire?? what the optimal settings for the media_profiles.xml?? does it work with runnymede aio rom?

A CLASS 10 with only 2.6mb/s write and 9.92 read?!?!?! The read is average but the write is very low.
If you have root access, run this app and you'll notice a huge improvement in SD write and read speeds.
Here is an article on Android Police that shows proof of speed increases: http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...-200-with-a-simple-tweak-hands-on-benchmarks/
Here is the app I'm talking about:
https://market.android.com/details?...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zZGluY3JlYXNlLml0Il0.
The performance difference is absolutely stunning.
After, run SD Tools https://market.android.com/details?...1bGwsMSwxLDEsImFsZXMudmVsdXNjZWsuc2R0b29scyJd to check if the speed difference.
You should try to switch the sliders between different values. Each SD card is different and one value may work for somebody but not you. I'm using 4096kb on my Lexar class 10 16GB and I get read speeds of 31mb/s and write speed of 9.2mb/s.

Hello XDA,
Anyone here who know what ROM the best is for 720P Recording? Maybe also a kernel ar anything else.
Thanks in advance!

Standard roms or aosp roms (hd roms have problems with 720p, although it works now, it's still slow) with oc'ed camera chips.

With my stock froyo ROM i didn't have any troubles with 720p recording
Now im with RCmixHD 2.0 A2SD and I have freezes and lags with 720p recording.
Do you think change of my 4GB SD card ( which comes with desire ) with a 8GB Class 6 , would speed up and fix this 720p freezes and lags ?
CyanogenMod 7 and 7 (I think 6) works. There are a few other roms that work properly. And to be honest, it's not really down to your SD Card class for 720p recording. I have a class 2 card and never had any problems with it when the recording has been fine. It's down to the dev of the rom.
i've a class 10 card. i've tried hd roms, leedroid roms, now rcmix rom. but always having problem with 720p recording. with some of them, videos are only 9fps, and with others there are lags and etc. what should i do

cyanogenmod 7 does not even include 720p recording nor playback...
thought it was the speed of the sd card that causes lag in 720p recording... was planing to get a class 6 micro sd because i tried reflex gingersense and 720p was messy.. i thought it was my current class 2 card which was too slow... does not depend on class?
Im having the same problem.
What gives?
A lot of roms say "720p recording" but i cannot find a sense rom (at least froyo) that has working 720p (no lag, no out of sync, etc).
Can anyone help ?
What rom does have 720p recording working ?
So it seems that starburst classic has 720p working but it really is an unstable build.
i get fc a lot , flash is not working, market did not work last time i flashed, etc.
a lot of problems.
Did u find any other roms that have 720p working ?
I have RCMixHD v2.0 installed.
I have a class 2 16GB sd card.
The lag is no-where near the stock 2.2 rom, so It's the rom for sure!
Maybe wait for v2.1?
I looked at the bit-rate once, and it was about 1MB/s on a stock 2.2 rom, so a class 2 SD card, which can transfer a minimum of 2MB/s, should be able to do the job, right?
i have asked on numerous threads and noone ever answered! does the class of the sdcard makes difference? will a class 6 card have flawless 720p recording?? i would like someone with a class 6 card to answer plz
Ive just installed reflex s 2.1.2 lite a2sd+ and it seems 720p recording actually works very well.
I DO have class 6 16gb card.
So i guess someone with lower class card can try this rom and see if the 720p recording works, and if not, than its clear the card class is a factor.
Ps: i've reformated and repartitioned my card before flashing first ledroid 2.5.0 and then reflex s.
finally a reply! thx! but 720p recording does not work well with the class 6 card on leedroid? i have a class 2 card ans 720p recording lags a lot on leedroid froyo.
i formated the card and first installed ledroid 2.5.0 that i thought is stable and fast and has 720p (because of froyo) . but as it turns out it doesnt work ..
720p recording on leedroid froyo lags even with your class 6 card? i am disappointed... was going to buy a class 6 card and use leedroid froyo as i find it to be the fastest, most stable rom around with great battery life.
what reflex rom are you using? is it gingersense? (android 2.3)
reflex s 2.1.2 lite a2sd+ (gingersense)
android 2.3.3
With Reflex S my 720P recordings appear pretty stretched.
mine works fine.
maybe u have a lot of stuff on ur card, or maybe its slower (lower class).
when it comes to ROM it only matters if it does, or does not support 720p - check camera settings...
higher class sd card will help a bit, but wont make it great...
fact is desires camera isnt really made to work flawlessly with 720p, no matter which card or rom you have, fps will rapidly drop in low light conditions. its really a hardware limitation.
i would suggest using 480p always...
Hi All
Which Sense ROM do I need to install to be able to record good 720 HD video?
Is there a Kernel that will work to make Sprint (SprintLover) 3.7 ROM record without chopping up the video?
Video quality is far more important than the frame limit that 3.7 unlocked so if I need to go back a few versions I will.
Thanks
As far as I know they are all pretty much the same as far as video recording goes. Its an evo thing not a rom thing.
I am pretty sure video was a lot better (nearly skip free) a few update (versions) ago.
I use Warm Z 2.2 and 720p recording works just fine for me. Playback shows no choppiness.

did you use a different Kernel than the one built into warm2.2?
I installed warm 2.2 and really like it and so far it is ok with video but does freeze a little. I found running task killer helps video recording with less skips.
My wife is using Netrachy 4.3.4 with SL ROM and we had a horrible experience today where it only recorded 10 seconds of sound and video and then continued to do sound but not video. Really sucks.
seems that with sufficient internal memory video can record at 720
over 150 mb free

What speed is your SD Card? I've heard of reports that the choppiness goes away on microSD cards that are Class 4 and faster, while Class 2 cards seem to experience the choppiness.
There could be tons of different things causing your choppiness, this is just one that I had heard about, so if you have a class 4 or faster card then disregard the above.
i use warm z with netarchy toast 4.3.1 just recorded and played back about 30 sec of vid today first time but was flawless
Hi all,
Have been using the Desire for nearly 2 years, great phone. I use the phone's Camera (Baby Photos & Videos recording) more then anything else. Enjoyed using the 720p recording when I was on Android 2.2 until the Stock 2.3 upgrade few months back. Then I found the video recording went funny, lagging, video/audio out of sync, couldn't handle 720p anymore etc.
Got very annoyed for too long so decided to root it at the weekend and try other ROMs. Tried a few and settled on the Aurora V03 which has a great camera app (w/Sense 3.0). Thought the out of sync issue went away but unfortunately it's still there. Even when I lowered the quality to 800x480, the problem still exist.
Tried the SD Card Increase from the market and tweaked it to 2048kb, same.
Thought it's software/rom related as I could record 720p no issue when I was still on 2.2
I am using Kingston Class 4 8GB card since day one. Do you know any tweak that can help me please?
Any idea is much appreciated! Don't really want to upgrade my phone just because of this.
Thanks!
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
By what ive read on the forums on here this is a common problem for 2.3 on the desire. Im unsure on how exactly to solve it though. Have you tried changing the file format it records in? That helped for me
Yes I have tried both 3gpp and mp4 and they are the same. Strange that I didn't see much discussion about this. Thinking to downgrade back to 2.2..... Although don't quite wanted to.
Have you tried a faster sd card? I had similar problems when I used the class 4 that came with the phone. Now I have a class 10 playback is fine, even with full length movies and tv shows.

he is not talking about playback ,but about 720p recording...
unfortunately, there is no solution yet for that issue,no matter what ROM u try it'll still be there. 800x480 should be ok, if u're having problems, format and align ur fat32 and make sure that it's not an issue of the ROM u're using. as for 720p, as i mentioned earlier, no joy
after the gingerbread official release.. thought 720p or at least 480p recording would be smooth but it's not! at 480p on my class 10 card, it freezes frequently and audio is out of sync...
my question: is there a rom now after all this time that can do proper 480p(hq) recording at least? haven't followed the roms for months now so i don't know... thought cm7 said they would add 720p to desire when the official gingerbread is out.. is there 720p on cm7 now? there no changelog whatesoever on its site...

ok thx! haven't seen that...
can't find 720p recording... will it be present?
720p won't be included as far as I know in AOSP ROMs due to driver related issues.
480p is fine in all AOSP and in Sense based custom ROMs is somewhat better.
720p is only available in Sense-based ROMs, but it is still buggy, just as you described.
I don't feel 720p laggy at all. try a good class 6 card.

ok will try extreme rom! i am on a prerooted official gingerbread and even 480p lags most of the time... there the 1-2 secs freeze and jitterring and then audio gets out of sync and i am using a kingston class 10 sd card!

I've tested more than 20 ginger roms. All of them cannot record smoothly at 720p. I think that froyo roms produce better 720p recordings. Now I'm using latest Starburst rom (froyo) and I'm quite happy , 720p recording is satisfactory and speed is better than ever (quadrant gives more than 1950 points!)
I tried so many Sense 3.5 roms. All of them has audio out of sync problem. My SD card is Team class 10. However, If I don't install any applications, there is no sync problem. I tried this on Runnymede AIO and Runnymede007. It's interesting...
In Aurora rom I have the same audio out of sync problem...not happy...even 480p has this problem

i still don't understand how droidzone managed 720p recording with no lag... can you tell us what brand is your sd card or have u installed somekind of patch or kernel? i uninstalled supernova as i had some issues recently.. i tried runnymede to get a taste of sense 3.1 but 720p and even 480p recording kind of sux
I have a 32GB class 10 card on CM7, recorded fine... smooth sound is good no problems. I run at 1.2Ghz ( stock desire 999Mhz )
I am pretty sure the smoothness of the recording is connected to the SD card one is using.

I am using RCMixS v2.0 rom (with Gingerbread 2.3.3) and in my Desire I have a Sandisk micro-sdhc (not mobile ultra ) and, my video recorded at 720p have some lags.
May the microsd be the cause? Or it's a rom problem? If it is a rom problem, how can i solve?
Thank you in advance,

Both. 720p recording lagged from the day one, maybe the least on 1.9 roms, but lag was(is?) present nevertheless.
Faster sd card might improve it somewhat as people reported. But people reported ICS aosp is faster than GB aosp, so I'd say you'd be on thin ice believing there.

Thank you. For now I have increased the bit-rate of h264 codec in the media-profiles.xml file (I changed it from 14000000 to 20000000).
The biggest lags seems to be disappeared, but the video recording is still a little choppy...
EDIT: I have to correct myself, 720p still lags... any software solution, like as any script?
If I set Video bitrate to 2x on ICS camera, does this mean that the video will be smoother? If it's 2x, it is that more demanding for the phone?
