Camcorder Format

Hey
Was wondering it if it possible to edit the original camcorder app to record in a different format something like .mp4 with better audio?
Reason I ask, is when I've used 3rd part voice recorder app's the sound is better, so it must be possible to get good sound.
If the above isn't possible would it be at all possible to write a new camcorder app that records in the .mp4 format with higher audio quality?
This would be a huge app, so i'm not expecting anything, but just wondered if it is at all possible.
I'm not a developer so I don't know.
Thanks for any info, hoe this is the right section, figured is developer stuff more then app based.

I've been hearing around the forums about a codec fix in build.prop, you might want to do a search for that, could possibly be what your looking for.

Sorry what exactly do you mean? build.prop?
I'm not a dev or anything, Just wondered if a Dev on this forums would know anything about it.
1 reply in 100 views, prob means not many people care tho hehe.
Hopefully I'll get some more replies soon giving some info

Bump, anyone?

Bump..............

Bump Bump, no one else cares?

I would like to see an mp4 format. Tho I am not a dev. Just someone who knows enough to probably break it. Lol

I'm interested in this as well. My usage scenario is to record video with the camcorder and use twonkyserver to stream it directly from my phone to my LG TV, which supports mp4 and mkv containers, but not 3gp.

it is probably possivle, but i dont have a clue wjere to start.

[MOD] [720p HW PLAYBACK] libOmxVdec.so (removal of h/w restrictions in playback)

best 720p solution yet.
Just want to inform all desire owners of Diceplayer.
It dosent support our phone (they say).
But it works flawless if you patch
libOmxVdec.so
wich is meant for the nexus-1.
Since N1 and desire share alot hardware i figured it might also work for our desire.
IT DID!!
This is my first thread or even post on xda.

What Rom Does it Work on?
GB/FROYO - Sense/Non-sense?

Apparently what it does is, it removes restrictions in the h/w decoding. I think the devs of cyanogenmod should look into this and integrate it into their libs.

I use it with cyanogenmod. So yes. Not sure with other roms but i suspect the libs are the same with sense roms.
The modified lib brings h/w hd functionality to other players aswell. Free alternatives like qqplayer. Probably other players also.
Someone should hint the devs of cyanogen to integrate the functionality into their roms. Devices that are capable. The Nexus-1 and desire.

Just tested it on Rcmix 2.0 sense rom still lags

So basically it will work on GingerVillain 2.7, too? Well, I'll try and see.

Playback yes iirc, but isn't 720p recording Sense only feature?

You must use a player that uses hardware rendering. Default setting in many players are software rendering. Change to hardware rendering (in player).

it worked, but messed up the weather vids on cool sensation though.

hi to all,
just tried the patch and i would dare to correct the OP, well at least in my situation, 720p video playback didnt become without lag, however, now its less laggy. im using GB rom, Rcmix 2.0 with CM7r2 partition table, and class 10 16GB micro sd card (reading writing 11mb/s, reading 22 mb/s). so it has nothing to do with the card, however, as i said there much less lag now but videos are still not as smooth as i used to have on 2.2 based ROMS. but if htc release proper GB rom then maybe developers will be able to do something about it

You should write, which rom/kernel you are using. Otherwise your information is very senseless.

Well. I am using cyanogen kernel and nightly rom. I have a class 10 sd card (sd-booster 2048).
I am having good results with 720 mkv video (diceplayer and qqplayer).

it works..!
took quite awhile for me to get SDK adb working.. but now it works so smooth!!
either on dice player or native player!
kudos for TS
PS: im also on CM7 rom and kernel, S2E a2sd, and stock 2GB SD card

work on leedroidhd?!

Would it work on Insertcoin stock GB rom?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

no idea of other roms aside from CM7, but i suggest to do nandroid backup, and then follow instruction inside the link from 1st post..

@OP - Are you part of dev team for this? I ask because you seem very keen to get this integrated into CM and you seem to have a lot of technical info.
BTW, I tried it on CM7.1RC1 and find lag. The "News & Tips" page you linked to does actually state though that 720p does lag at present until possibly the next update.

If you manage to load the lib correctly (works in cm7, thats all i know) you should feel big difference from regular software encoding players like rockplayer etc.
Shure. there are some lags. But as i stated before. noting in comparison to software enc. based players. Very large 720 mkv may lag. But a typical 4gig 720p mkv plays well.
No. Im not in the dev team. I just been searching for a solution to play hi def mkv video. And this is by far the best solution.
What i do is every time i reflash my rom (cm nightly) i replaces the lib from first post with the one included in cm7 .zip file. /system/lib/libomxvdec.so
For testing this you must make sure diceplayer or any other player, is set to hardware encoding. Otherwise no improvement in playback.

[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!

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.

[Q] t989 with slim ben rom can't record video in low quality formats

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 I downloaded every camera I could find on the store, Camera JB+, ICS Camera, Camera 360, Camera+, none of them give the option.

did you tri camera fx or something like that thats another popular one .. just a thought man trying to help you lol

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.

4.4 Camera Issues *HELP*

Hello and thanks for your time! I have the SGH-I317 and I am having problems with my camera when I flash a AOSP ROM. The 4.4 KitKat camera is not working for me, but when I flash back to a TouchWiz ROM everything is fine. Here are the apps and the problems associated with them:
-SnapChat: Taking pictures works fine, but when recording video it will only record a second or two
-Instagram: Pictures are fine, but the video is distorted and zoomed in
-Vine: The app doesn't even recognize that i have a video camera
-When trying to take a video to attach to a mms message it give me this: (SEE ATTACHED) (I've tried Hangouts and the stock messaging)
And the crazy thing is, when i open the video camera through the camera app, it works fine.
ALSO, When any app that needs access to the camera/video camera is open, there is a horrible screeching sound that comes out of the headset speaker, I will record a video so you can hear what I am talking about. Also notice how the video is fine besides the screeching when opening through the camera app.

@bbasketballer75
Wrong section sir.
You need to delete this and post in questions and answers thread. This section is for developers to post roms..NOT for questions
Thanks
Also..its a known bug for those apps for 4.4 roms. No fix right now.

Yes, the sure, simple solution is to use a stock rom. 100% compatible with those time bandit apps.

THis is exactly why I am on a 4.3 ROM (Ditto Note) most of the time. The stock camera in the kitkat roms doesn't work smoothly for me.

If only that were a solution for me. (using an older custom rom)
I seem to have this issue on any rom BESIDES the stock rom. Its buggy across the mentioned apps, and it never works on the MMS "capture video" setting. This isn't a big deal as it only aggravates my OCD, but my bank recently installed some photo detection software on their mobile app and I can no longer deposit checks due to the buggy nature of the camera.
If you, or anyone else here knows of a rom that is FULLY compatible with the GN2 camera, can you please post it here? Im willing to go back in time.
I wish that developers would fully work out the bugs in X.3 before moving on to X.4, but i appreciate their hard work.
