[Q] Which ROM has the best camera (including 720p) - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'd love to have panorama and HDR, I tried a ROM last month that had the options (I think it was a sense ROM) but they didn't work well and it force-closed sometimes, etc.
I've also found that some of the newer android version ROMs seem to lack either H.264 or 720p video.
Front-facing camera is nice to have, but even the ROMs with that seem to suck for Skype.
Help!

You can download both of them from the play store... I have both and they work great..

Only Sense GB Roms have 720

Why is that? What binary blob needs reverse-engineered?

wait, that's not true. I'm running cyanogenMod 6.2.1 and I have 720 video

how jerky is it? (i dont just mean playback on the phone itself, i mean no matter what device you play it back on. in other words, when i use AOSP cameras at 720p, there is jerkiness baked into the output. stutter, judder, jerkiness, dropped frames, insufficient fps, call it what you want, motion portrayal is poor especially during slow pans.)

hmm, yeah i guess it is a little jerky.
Well thanks for the link in your sig, got that ROM running now and it seems like a keeper

Well, ok, if you're serious about all this, I will add that changing your scheduler to BFQ is probably the single best improvement you can make to videocam recording smoothness. You'll need a kernel that supports this. Almost any custom kernel will. If you're going to use the ROM in my sig (the Captain's 5.07 stock ROM) I would recommend the "Underworld" kernel. If you're running a AOSP ROM , I'm not as familiar with those choices (although I would recommend Reloaded anyway, and the "Mason" kernel included with it supports BFQ already, even if it isn't optimal for general, non-videocam performance). Note you'll have to do additional research on how to *activate* the BFQ scheduler even once you have a kernel that supports it. Or maybe you knew all this. But others may be interested. Happy searching..

used hdr camera + with cm7.2 (nightlies) and worked pretty fantastic. Def considered it better quality than stock camera and here is my disclaimer im not a photo buff... lol

In my opinion the Sense Rom Cameras look better. I've probably ran just about every rom on the OG EVO and that is what I have noticed.

[Q] Desire camcorder recording at 30fps?

Hi, I've been using the DeFrost and CM ROMs and I notice that their camera app records 720p videos at 30fps. Does any Sense ROMs manage to do that?
hi Malaysian, well Sense ROM can get close to 30fps, but not there, basically because of limitations within the "Sense" itself, that's why CM,DF and OD chose to abandon "Sense" and go open source ROM
A month back, OD/CM were no better than HTC 2.2. I used to run these three. In the recorded vid, except the bit rates, there was hardly a difference. All managed 27-29FPS average and 10-11FPS lows. So how do you say 30FPS fixed... Rumors?

I should clarify. It "looks" 30fps with rather good framerates. So you guys are saying that AOSP camcorder and Sense camcorder is virtually the same?

I can't speak for others but there is definitely no noticeable difference between the video output in my experience of ~3months. The Sense ROM cam has options and UI unmatched on the AOSP ROMs though.

[Q] rom flashing q's....emmc?? camera??

before i decide to flash i was wondering if it erases the emmc partition?
and also which roms(if any) support 8mp camera and 720p video recording/playing?
i use both so much, so i dont want to loose them
thanks for any help
No roms will wipe the emmc partition.
Any Sense 1.0 (SkyRaider 4, Redemption roms, Magnolia etc) roms will definitely support 8mp and 720p video recording/playing.
No new gingerbread AOSP support 720p recording, but can handle playing it perfectly.
Play around with a bunch of different roms until you find something that you like!
ya, i will. just was hoping to get away from sense and keep camera functions

Well the camera on CM7 is atrocious (it's stock from AOSP) and most people replace it with a version from MIUI. I would suggest trying MIUI because it has a ton of awesome new features, and the camera is AWESOME even though it doesn't have 720p recording, I think you'll still like it.

[Q] Xperia PLAY record HD video?

Xperia PLAY have got 1Ghz CPU, and 5mpx Camera. This hardwares enough to the recorded of HD vido? Or not?
Is the solution of this possible?
(Sorry my bad Englis)
Should be!
One of Sony's recent updates gave you the 720p camera. if your on a custom rom i bet you can find the apk somewhere.
This was one of the early updates. Though it does not specifie it's recording in HD but really it records at 720P when the best quality is chosen in the options. However I personally think that the latest Cyanogenmod 7 video recording was remarkable. Best quality ever seen so far.

What? Really? It's pretty crap if you ask me. It records at 800x480 and the video usually has constant moments of extreme stutter.
What do you like about it? Is there any way to get 720p on CM7?

Yes latest CM7 shoots as 720p on default mate. Best quality so far witnessed!

Are you sure? I've been using the latest CM7 FXP builds every time they're released and I've even tried some CM7 nightlies from the CyanogenMod site.
None of them, including FXP123, do 720p recording. Perhaps you're mistaken? Or have I missed something?
Yes I'm fairly certein. I vivdly remember I was shocked by the performance of the video camera. Flash the latets CM7 and start filming with the highest values in the settings. Then see the video on your computer. Even if he screen size is not 720x900 the video quality most definitly is HD

[Q] Camera quality CM(JB) vs stock

Hi everyone,
I am considering 'upgrading' my HOV to CM10.1 or AOKP, but I am wondering if the new mods really effect the quality of the onboard camera? I know that the One series all has the HTC imagesense processor, and I was wondering if the newer kernels affected the quality of the camera at all? I enjoy the quality of the camera on stock greatly, so I was wondering if there was a big difference or if anyone did any comparisons?
Thanks!
ps - sorry if this has been asked before, I've searched and come up with nothing...
Stock camera is the best.It's the only reason why some people revert back to stock after trying out JB
stock camera > cm9 > cm10 > cm10.1 even tho cm10.1 camera doesn't work yet... lmao

I didn't quite get it.
I am wondering, does JB roms use HTC's ImageSense? If not, does those Sense based ROMs use ImageSense, as they use the stock camera, right?

The non-Sense based ROM's don't use the ImageSense chip ( or use it in the same way as stock ). I've Tried SupremU and mySenseV both seem to use the stock camera app and abilities. The CM10/etc use the cyanogen(?) camera, it cannot do the burst or capture during video, I had very little luck getting it going smoothly in CM10, video modes autofocus is wonky too
I did some searching to see if the Stock camera app could somehow be brought into CM10, but from what I could find it appears that the answer it no.. my guess is it's a kernel module needed + a bunch of Sense bits and pieces.
to me the quality seems about the same, but I have noticed that non-stock cameras on our HOV are slower at actually taking the picture, but that could be the settings? idk but I like stock camera, but not enough to switch back to sense... mostly because it makes me use a pin or passcode or pattern to unlock because of the wifi type at my school... it gets annoying

So, when i use this ROM?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974415
I have ImageSense in use, as it has the stock camera app, right? (which is the best for me) I really like ImageSense, autofocus in video is great with it and pictures too.

[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.
