Hi all,
Yes, I've searched, but I didn't find an answer... Why is it not possible to lower the quality settings on our camcorder? I don't want to send 11MB movies for each 15 seconds of movie I sent through whatsapp, and since the setting is there in the options dialog, why is there only one option to choose from? I tried most popular ROMs already, none of them support this feature, and the amount of good camcorder apps on the Play store is very very low... All help is welcome!

Hi,
i'm running with Flinnys Jelly Bean Testbuild 103 atm and i can choose between 720p and 480p while i'm in the standard camera-app.
What Rom do you use?
I'm using original HTC ROM as we speak, but I've tried almost all popular roms on the Vision, none allowed me to change the quality.

Hello,
I noticed that the default youtube player always plays the video in low quality. I can then press a button and select playing in high quality, but I wish I could do that by default, I mean that the player should open the video in its best quality. Does anyone know if this is possible? Thank you!

I'd love to do that as well.
Just change the settings. Open the youtube app, menu > settings & its the 1st option
thanks but for some reason i dont have this option in my youtube player. the version is 1.5.20. the menu reads like this:
general settings: clear search history
time settings: fillter videos by time
and that's it.
Me too, I don't have this setting.

Are you just trolling? What phone are you actually using? You know this is the HTC Desire forums right?

mine is 1.6.20,
im on modaco r3 rom, which has the option
I'm on Modaco R2, and I have the option also (YT version is 1.6.x)
Well if people are on custom ROMs is it not beholden on them to assume MOST people are not and to not give general advice as if we all share the same settings?
C'mon people, think.

I don't have either on my Factory-Unlocked Desire on O2... So may be it's a feature chefs putting in custom ROMs.
I can set it to high quality NP, stock rom - unlocked desire.
thanks again, and everyone else for their opinions. I am NOT trolling (nor am I sure what that means). I am using a perfectly new out of the box HTC Desire, network free and un-rooted or un-hacked or un-anything. It was bought in Romania.
I still don't have that option in my youtube player. It's a little annoying that it plays the low quality by default, especially since I have a large data plan.
I have this option on desire straight from o2. App version says 1.6.19 (E) Dont think it was there on my previous desire from 3 though (I could be wrong)
App 1.5.2 stock ROM using T-Mobile within the UK here... the video always starts in high quality. Initially, it started in the normal quality (which horrified me, heh) until I changed it for one vid and the option stuck ever since. I can only change the quality by pausing the video when it starts, clicking menu>more> and I see the option there to change to normal quality, or vice-versa if you start on the normal quality to begin with.
Low... Err normal quality is terrible; high quality seems good enough really. High quality on Youtube generally gives me a 29FPS 480x270 554Kbps H.264 MP4 vid using the app. Low quality is at 104Kbps -- haven't precisely managed to get the rest of the data yet.
My problem is that using the default browser or HTC's flash app gives vids always in the low quality without any option to change this. So I have to use Meridian to play most vids (nice app).
EDIT: a correction and added some more useful info.

Great, thanks for the link.
is it possible? in some threads, i see there's an option when you set video size to custom but i am on stable 7.0.3 and i don't see such option
Not in 7.0.3 AFAIK.
Alternative solution in other threads - Try lgCamera from the market.
I have tried lgcamera but 720p does not work. It produces small empty dummy video files
Just an idea
I read somewhere that it works if you extract the camera.apk from the MIUI rom and install it on yours. Haven't tried that though, and i wonder if it works on AOSP

Need to play around with the settings, I think.
i played with all possible combinations and did not work for lgcamera..
tried 3 miui camera and 720p does not work either
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!

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.
lgcamera has finally supported the HTC One X!

A new way to bypass compression!!
Hey.
At the One X when I choose stabilizations an image while filming program is falling apart. When taking pictures, the image jumps and crazy about the program.
Movies shooting in good quality, but it hangs ...

Hmm? It has always supported the One X.. I've had it installed for a month already -_- Bypasses compression, but not dropped frames. Still as bad as stock cam.

only a few days ago then it started to officially support the one x.
Nice, just installed the Pro version, photo's uncompressed, you'll get a file size of 4,5mb, instead of the 1,5 of htc, better quality
you can record movies in 3gp and mp4.. I've set it to mp4, because that runs better on the One X
also the bitrate to 30mbps, instead of the 7 you get from stock htc camera
stereo quaility record on 320kbps and 48hz
218mb for 1min mp4 movie, hmm haha
maybe I should try 20mbps bitrate
Do you have drop frames in video?

Same happens to me when I try to activate the stabilisation in the camcorder.
Great camera app, I'm playing with it at the moment trying all options and buttons.
Recording in mpeg4 with video bitrate of 100Mbit and video framerate 30 plus resolution 1920x1088. (5 seconds video is 16,9mb)
Switching between picture and camcorder works fine for me and also stabilisation I've enabled, no freeze.
I still use the free version.
I can switch between picture and camcorder without problems.
Also stabilisation I have enabled.
Edit; the camcorder is very very nice, without it the camcorder is great as well but if the zoom would work fluent it would be a kick ass camcorder!
Edit 2; the zoom does work fluent! You can zoom in and out with the volume button WOW !!!!
Last edit; the zoom isn't fluent but I can live with that (hopefully it can be fixed in futher development), bought the pro version.
* Video stabilization
* Auto rotate video

On my stock HOX the free version of lgCamera hangs whenever I go to video-recording mode forcing me to click the menu button to exit the app. It also, somehow, manages to shut down the camera service making even the stock HTC camera to malfunction!
So far the latest Camera ICS (free version) has managed to work flawlessly with my device, making incredible videos that are almost 500mb in size for a 2min clip, but remains on the 24 frames all the time. Videos do look smooth though.
What I want to know is if someone using lgCamera has managed to bypass the stock framerate limit of 24fps? And what are the results?
I'm on a no rooted stock HOX as well, latest 1.29.401.11
Weird but all does function fine for me, no freeze nothing.
I've set the frame rate at 30 but how can I check if it's real 30?
Edit; your right, last video does 21 frames per second.
Edit; my apologies I just realise by reading your post a second time that you do not have any problems on latest version as well.

Hi again,
I've just had a very fast reply by email from the developer of lgCamera.
He told me that previous version 6.25 did hang sometimes but latest version 6.3 is checked on all mode and shouldn't.
Are you running the latest version?

exactly the same issue with paid app, latest version.
it's the only app so far that managed to **** up the stock camera, needed a reboot to get it working again
i also have wrong aspect ratio in the viewfinder after pressing record, when shooting video, but the recorded material is fine....
So far Camera ICS+ is superior, even with 24fps.
The developer of lgCamera has opened a new thread for beta testing
in the general apps and games all device Android section >> HERE
Yes I downloaded the latest free version from the market. I downloaded by other means the old pro 1.25 version and it works flawlessly, it manages 30fps while recording from a moving vehicle! Strange, right?
You can check the framerate and other properties of your videos by opening those files with MX Player.
So, does the newest version lgCamera in your case, create videos with a higher bitrate than the stock camera?

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.
