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 .
I heard someone saying
""you can find a thread guide how to make best camera by moding /system/ect/media_property.xml which reduce compression to 0%
So you can have best camera in whatever rom you use""
Now it looks achievable to me, but I would like to ask the developers if it's really possible??
I'm on Viper 4.06 ROM.
Is there an option i'm not seeing or perhaps an apk or Zip I can flash etc to give me more options for video quality?
All I have is:
1920x1080 HD
1280x720 HD
then, straight down to super small bad quality: 177x144 MMS.
adult photo sharing
Reason I ask is that I've only got the 16gb model One X and with 1280x720 HD quality selected, it says i've only got enough room for 1 hour and 24 mins recording time.
Surely there is an app or zip I can flash with perhaps more options with regards to video quality, like instead of going from the option of HD, then next step down is 177x144...perhaps next step down something like 800x480 or something?
Which would still give me good enough quality and probably double the amount of recording time.
Anything I can do, apart from changing my phone?
Anyone know of any mods, or .apks or Zips I could flash etc to give me more options to choose from in video quality recording?
Any help, much appreciated.
Matt
You asked this in the rom's dev thread, and now in the apps & themes section. Please be aware that this is a question, it belongs in the Q&A section !
And no i haven't seen a mod around that enables that.....
are the was.. a long time ago.. frames.. mp/s
Hey everybody!
There was something that caught my attention lately and I wanted to ask a dev if he could give a look to it.
Supposedly the rear camera module on the 10.1inch models (and possibly 7.0inch ones) supports 1080p video recording and the front facing one 720p. Could somebody give a look on the kernel/drivers and media_profiles.xml (possibly the camera app too) and try to enable them?
Thanx in advance!
With other HTC phones e.g. HTC Desire HD there was a significant reduction in camera quality for non-sense ROMs. Is this also the case with the M8? I gather this was because the phone had an image processing chip for which the libraries were only available in Sense-based ROMs.
I'm keen to install a CM or AOSP based ROM but just wondering whether there is a reduction in camera quality.
As in literal photo quality there's a very little difference IMO.
The main problem is that duo camera is not working, so no fancy bokeh effects with it anymore. 60fps and slowmo recording also don't work.
For a long problem also there wasn't a camera app that would let you change iso, exposition time, manual zoom. Mostly just point and shoot. However, ckpv5 made a working app so it's not a problem anymore.
If you care about camera and recording quality then you shouldn't be using a m8 in the first place Overall you should be satisfied with camera on los and aosp roms.
