Camera with 720P recording

Hi to All Devs/Everyone,
I found this camera app, this enable 720 recording but it is too laggy, may be you can help how to remove lag during recording. attach is the file. this is working with Android Gingerbread 2.3.4 but with lag. you may visit this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1094424 for more details.
Update: Install BitrateMod(720P only), this will enable 1080P video recording, but still laggy. 1fps only.

Well, definitely something i was looking for, but can you tell where you got this file and what are the minimum requirements (like android version etc). i cant push it to my phone right now as im making auto installer thing for toolkit and my phone doesnt have a rom on Good luck devs!

Who try, working or not?

I have one camera that was ported to desre and is reported there to be capable of 720p recording in 2.3.3 builds....will test if it wirks also on HD2 and release then...

Good news Daekin!

maybe if we use chainfire + the nvidia plugin would adjust this,because i saw that this camera file is for tegra...
i attached the plugin

I used chianfire3d plugin but still laggy.

GO! 720p recording on HD2.

On android because we already can use 720p on windows phone 7

Could the lag be related to the speed of your micro sd? . . . just a thought

The problem comes from the graphics drivers.

might be? because i have only class 2 micro sd, if anyone can try using high speed micro sd, please post your result.
thanks.

if that would be the problem, may be our devs here could help us to eliminate lag during video recording?

i tried editing the media_profiles.xml on the attached but no luck to get the lag off.

Alright.. it doesn't work with MIUI 1.6.3

People to make this working you need to develop kernel support. Things like this will never work 100%. And you wont be able to fix 720p by messing with some libs.

Well I agree unless the codes are properly included in kernel it won't be perfect..!!!
But this info is very useful, guess a step forward if chransingh can do somethin we'll have it workin pretty soon

Well even standard recording is terrible on CM7 based ROM with sound out of sync and camera not responding if you record two videos in a row.
Unfortunately, the disappearance of many devs and chefs and the less and less interesting roms (a lot of updates but no real fixes) lead me to think that development for the HD2 is dying...

[Q] Sense 2.1 camera on 3.0/3.5 Rom???

Hey everyone, I love the Sense 3.0/3.5 roms, but have always had problems with the camera. Either the video is choppy, or if it's not choppy, no one can view the video files that I send over mms. Seems like I read something about porting the 2.1 camera into the 3.0 roms and I'm wondering if this is possible? If so, how?
Thanks!

没怎么看懂你的意思大概明白了 就是相机不能用对么？话说 这是一个问题 貌似还没解决
给你个附件 你试试 你知道怎么用么？替换到data/system.app里

Huh? Lol English prease

So I translated this as best I could...Is porting the 2.1 camera to a 3.0 rom as easy as just replacing the APK in /System/App? Seems like there would have to be more to it than that. Basically, I love the 3.0 and 3.5 roms, but having a fully functional video camera is really important to me.
Thanks

omg helarious

you made me crack up man. I read the post and i was like, oh i wanna know too!
I look at first response.... SAY WUT!!!!!

So far I've tried replacing "HTCCamera.apk" in /data/system.app with the APK from Skyraider 4.3 and replacing the camera lib files that I can identify, but it hasn't worked. The camera/camcorder comes up, but then fc's if I try to take a picture/video. I've reset permissions and that doesn't seem to work. When I replace any of the lib files I've found that I don't even get past the splash screen on a reboot.
What am I missing? Is what I'm trying to do even possible?

Anyone???

Bringing this to the front, as I'm after the same goal. Sense 3.0 ROM, but a stable camera/video recorder that does 720p smoothly like stock.

Success!...sort of.
I have found a workaround for my issues with sending videos via text, at least on a 2.1/3.0 hybrid rom. I've been using WildStang83's Hybrid Speed and while the 720p recording works fine, any video that I sent via MMS was not able to be viewed by the recipient. I found this MIUI camera and installed it and finally had success!
I tried the MIUI cam out on one of the new 3.5 roms, and unfortunately it did not solve the problem of the choppy video.
Here's the apk for the MIUI cam.

Just tried it, not a fan. Doesn't give much in options. I don't like the sound effects of the video recorder of which you can't turn off. Looks like there is a 30min limit too. How do you know if this is 720p? Just says high 30m or low 30m...
Camera seems to work fine though, just not sure if takes pics at max resolution 8m?

I agree. the MIUI camera has absolutely no options. Id love a perfectly working camera. Thats the only thing that stops me from using some of the newer roms. I take a lot of pictures and videos and need one that works.

Htc desire camera please!

PLEASE SNQ!! can you somehow port the stock camera app with everything working JUST fine! can u please make a flashable zip of the froyo cam. i dont miind pressing the trackpad unless the videos in landscape MEAN landscape and the audio is in sync!

He's obviously using a Sense based rom and he's basically complaining about how Sense roms have screwed up camera when it comes to video playback. If there was a way to fix this, obviously the devs would have done it by now..

[Q] 720p camera

How can i get on my Cool Droid v3 a 720p camera?? i had it on another rom.. but this one i like very much.. please help.

720p camera is only enabled in Sense ROMs

cool droid has Sense..

My bad. Maybe the dev removed it. The Desire was never really good enough for proper 720p recording anyway. Most Sense ROMs have it though...

another question.. if i change the camera apk from my rom with one with 720p from another rom.. will it work>??

Suppose you could try, just backup your ROM first.
You won't be able to just install it like a regular .apk though, you need to stick it into /system/app with the likes of root explorer or Android Commander (.exe PC application), then reboot.

have changed the HTCCamera.apk from my rom with one with 720p recording... reinstalled the rom again with this changed apk.. ain't working.. any help? please.
LE: is it possible to work if i change all the camera files in my rom?? i'm not a dev.. but i like this rom and really want to have 720p camera and wifi N..

I'm running Cool Droid v3 on the Desire and the video has the option to record 720p...have you changed your encoding to MPEG4?

thanks mate. i'm a f*****g idiot...

[Q] CM9 RC6– stock gb video qual. comparison

Hi all
I am using cm9 rc6 and i am happy with that. Thanks to devs.
I ve compared the 720p videos of cm9 and stock gb. File size of gb version is nearly doubling the cm9 version. I watched both videos in pc and I am not surprised with that because there is a clear quality difference in favor of gb version video.
Is there a way to rec videos in cm9 as good as in gb Rom version?

I've made a topic about the same Q, but only with cm10 and GB.
I've noticed the same thing lol, that the GB 720p runs on way better fps than JB.

i think we cant do anything about it for now, unless arco or other devs decided to improve it..
For me im quite satisfied, considering that its not working before..THANKS arco/devs for that..
FYI.. quoting arco's words about the camera.
•camera will never work as good as in stock rom, period! We are using ugly hal wrapper hack to get it to work at all! This is only guaranteed to work partially ok with included camera app. And still not everything will work at all with it, like certain effects or video calls. All other 3rd party camera apps may or may not work. Don't cry if they don't. If you absolutely need a 100% working camera, use stock rom!

Thats bad, I hope, that in future we will be capable of recording those 30 fps videos.
Thanks for response anyway.
