Hi brothers, now I wrtie to ask if somebody knows where is the register entry for the xperia camera, I think i found it but it won't show all the entries that the HTC cameras show. The HTC cameras registry entries has all detailed on different folders like JPEG settings, medium quality video, high qualitity video, and stuff like that.
Well, I think that I have the solution for the bad quality video of the xperia when you shake o move your phone, I think you know that I mean. You see always pixelation, and that have various reasons. One is that the video format is very bad quality for, it's only 3GP and we don't have a choice like other HTC Cameras when you have MP4, CIF and other formats. Other reason is the video's bitrate and THIS is our solution.
If we can turn up the bitrate of course we'll have better quality in the videos and we can see especialy an improment in scenarios like sports when we have to move the phone very much. Of course, that bitrate increment become the video more heavy but that's something we have to deal with because the quality worth it.
Other solution is find a way to change the video format to H264 or MP4 and combine the bitrate idea with this video format too.
I have been making some experiments but no luck yet. Any ideas?
Nobody?
I'm sure that somebody can post one good idea. Come on people, you guys make the best HTC's roms and more, I don't think you have no idea about solving this. Somebody?
I think its Sony+HTC problem, not something that belongs to here ...
just like u can't have smile shutter, same ways, u can't change recording format ... may be some time in future, Sony might add support for h264 recording in firmwares, just like they added auto flash and geotag in leaked R3AA/R4AA rom.
Thanks for the reply
Thnaks for the answer! You are totally right in every point BUT I think that waiting is not an option for me because I bought the Xperia almost replacing my HTC TyTN + Sony Camera. I like to record almost all the concerts I go and the Xperia is the right option if we can make some camera improvements. I think if someone give me the xperia camera source code I can do everything by myself, or at least that is that I have in mind
Even, I think we can make a few changes for the camera to allow to zoom when recording video (if somebody haven't done it yet..).
In other hand, where can I find the R4AA rom? I didn't know that was already out. Again, thanks for the reply!

there is no r4aa. he was refering to unknown sourced leaked camera app with geotagging and auto flash, which supposed to be present in r3aa, but never was actually.
zoom facility in the video recording of the xperia is a very welcome step...hope somebody smart enough in the xda forum look forward to it...
I think it could be done, because the camera app uses a system file to access the camera, then it uses a video or picture encoder to produce a picture or a video. If somebody change the encoder and set the new parameters or settings into the camera app i think that it will work.
Exactly
And I'm your men, I wanna do that, but I have to view the source code or something. Where can I find it? Anyone on this forum can give me a hand to start working? Thanks!
I think that the better way is create a new camera app and add lots of features and then sell the app to a company like spb.

hahah nice one, Good luck with it.
if the wanted to make it a camera phone then the wouldn't put wortless camera in it. i wonder why sony didn't put better camera in it like SE k versions my old k750 has better camera .
As you all know 720P recording is now possible on the hd2 through windows phone 7. in order to get this feature on android builds updated drivers need to be included in android packages as well as a kernel that can support it. I am currently looking for help in updating drivers while i am working to stabilize some existing kernels. to any who can CONTRIBUTE please pm me and i will get back to you.
UP
Would be greatful as i'm sure hundreds of HD2 fans!
Bump
Why aren't more people bumping this thread?!
I would love to finally have the ability to record in 720p.
I really liked the 720p resolution on the WP7 rom. Cant wait to have it in android
That will be one of the greatest achievement for HD2.
Thank you for your dedication.
Yes! i hope it gets fixed!
HD2 does everything; note

This is more in response to the banner you have at the bottom of your post saying the HD2 can do everything "what's next..." and showing a playstation symbol.
Android has emulators galore! And PS1 games run very nice utilizing them. (You have GBA, Genesis, SNES, etc to choose from as well). Just note in case you didn't know.

yes.....i know it was simply a pun on the psx emulator -_-. Please keep this thread on topic.
am up for this!
Can't wait
Finally! Have been waiting for hd video recording to be enabled ever since i got this phone. Good to know we are close to getting it.
Bump!!! 720p video record... it would be amazing
woww.. i thought 720p cam impossible..but HD2 rulesss4ever!!!
When I tried the WP7 the quality was great but the focusing was aweful. It took quite a while to switch from close objects focus to further ones and the other way around too. I hope this can be improved too. I hope you find some help on your quest
PS. I hope you dont mind me using your signature picture as I quite like it and to be honest I wont give my HD2 for any other phone while I was thinking about selling it 4 months ago
While you're working on kernels, see if you can get Wifi Calling working using the wifi calling app from tmo USA.
ooh the excitement...
cant wait !

lol no problem bud! =) it is a great phone!
and as for an update for those following the thread, i am currently editing the cm kernel to try to make stable recording on MDJ ginger build.
If we get 720p recording to work...
There's nothing more to wish from our beloved device!
We can do everything and more!
If you compare the HD2 and the DHD today there's nothing that makes the DHD better.
On the contrary, it can more than any other phone outside there!

i will try as of now that takes the list behind 720p recording, mostly because there are work arounds for wifi calling via android ~android through tango, skype, ovoo, ect
How about starting a bounty for 720p recording as well?
I think it will motivate developers a little bit more.
And I know that it would be a success as well, remember how much money were gathered in a thread about a working camera in DHD builds a while ago?
This is the last border for android perfection in HD2, and we already know that it CAN be done in our hardware (WP7).
Hi All,
While i am really happy and i desperate to see 720p recording working on hd2.android, but personally 720p recording in windows 7 doesn't really look 720p, i feel the resolution is faaaaar less the the regular 800*400 recording..
which makes me believe if hd2 is actually meant to record 720P or is it just a bug in windows 7 that it says 720p when it actually doesn't!....
So I've been to a few concerts where I tried to record some video with my S3, and the video quality is amazing, but the audio is absolutely TERRIBLE. I've tested recording on the ICS version of TouchWiz that first came with the phone, and also just recently with Task's AOKP running 4.2.2.
A link to my video if you want to see what its like:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/y7j6dp3gm5jrl9o/2013-02-22 22.59.07.mp4
My friend was recording with his SII right beside me his audio is actually bearable. Distorted a bit, sure, but not even close to what mine is like... At least in his I can easily make out the song :\
Anyone know if there is a fix to this issue yet?
Bump. Went to Sensation White and all I got was bass-inundated video like link above. Would really like a solution to this. Perhaps a third party video app like lgcamera would work?
P.s what concert was that in your video?
Same here. Just went to the Marilyn Manson concert and I can't hear a single thing! Must be an S3 thing lol

Hello, i have the t989 and loaded the slim bean rom on it and everything works perfectly. However, Previously with the stock rom I could record in lower quality formats like 240, etc, but now in the video camera the lowest quality setting it will let me record in is 480p. Is there a way to record the lower quality videos. my wife like to take short small videos that can be sent via whats app to family.
Anyone have any info?
yeah im running slim i checked every where i dont see any other option try downloading ICS camera and see if they have the option in there its relatively the same cam

Thanks. Yeah, tried that one too. The apps must just take the settings from the rom and only use what is available according to the rom. I'd prefer to not go back to the stock rom if possible, but need to look for one that supports lower video qualities.
Hi I just got my Redmi Note 5 Pro, everything works fine but one thing that I'm really frustrated with is when I'm watching videos (not photos) on native apps like Facebook, Instagram or Twitch, the video is super pixelated and horrendous even at highest quality chosen. However, when I try to visit these sites on browser (Chrome) and watch the video, everything works fine, the quality is perfect. Here is some sample screenshots that I've taken: https://imgur.com/a/BwyBL3z (notice the pixelated and border of the text, it's actually horrible)
And here is my phone specs (About phone): https://imgur.com/a/vhg2OY1
Is anyone else experiencing this? Is this because of MIUI 10 or some problems with my phone?
More information: Youtube and Twitter in-app video seems to work fine, at least visually to my eyes. By the way, please don't tell me it's the internet issue because my internet is great and everything loads at highest quality option. Thanks for reading.

I think its a software issue and it sucks, try uploading something in Instagram (instagram stories) and experience the 3 fps video and the worst quality ever, I dont know why this happens, but I'm thinking of selling my xiaomi redmi note 5 pro, for these tiny but very important problems for me.

For the Instagram:
It is software issue, but not hardware-software problem, its more like software-rom problem, because i used to experience that too, atleast for the Instagram. But..... it was when i use MIUI 10, right after i tried custom rom, (i use PE) the problem is gone, and Instagram is capable to upload at the highest quality too (2k @ 60fps). So the conclusion is that, instagram not fully optimized for MIUI yet, because it has a lot of bugs in it. by the way, if you really wanted to fix that ig problem and dont want to change rom, i can suggest you to try GBinsta (look it up at google search you can find one), i dont know why, using the modded apk seems to work better at MIUI. So good luck, have a nice day :good:

Thanks for the advice. I tried Instagram version 51 and the upload quality is superb, and it sucks that such a great spec'd phone has so tiny annoying problems I even sent bug reports to Xiaomi via e-mail and didn't get a single reply, before this phone I had a Samsung Galaxy Note 8, and the camera in snapchat was HORRIBLE to say the least. I think android in general has these problems, because when I use my friends iPhone 6S Plus, the picture quality or video quality in every app is superb, and video quality in apps like IG or Facebook is superb too. Literally thinking about switching to iPhone even though I love the freedom of android.
Thanks for your reply.
slightly off topic but i've noticed photos i share in facebook messenger look very jagged , especially screenshots .
