Hi,
Now I know the TP2 is not a digicam ... But can anyone share any tips on how to get the best out of the TP2 for video recording.
Some thoughts I have include:
1) Fast SD card
2) 3rd party video software???
3) Improving fps from 12.5. I guess reducing resolution..??
However I appreciate the TP2 is a phone .... but with some jolly useful extras.
Thanks,
Sam
i havent try but maybe apps like coolcamera?
Hi guys
A quick one. When recording with the touch pro 2 is there a black border to the right side of the picture you are recording? that means the picture you are recording doesnt fill the screen. I just noticed this tonite and i dont think this has always been the case
since I posted my question over 30 people have read it but have just moved along without helping. This isnt a difficult question and all someone has to do is pick up their phone, launch the camera and click on video recording to see if the black border exists. This should not even take you a minute but people just read and move on. If I start a new thread asking my specific question, you,ll get some id1ots talking rubbish about using the search function. well I have and it doesnt return any results for my query. So is there any sensible person out there willing to check this out for me?

Hi Lombardo8,
Yes, there is black strip on the right side of the screen but ONLY when you save video. When you play this video it is over full screen.
Sorry for my "English".

Thank you very much Nino. Have a nice day
12.5 fps? Probably for videos meant as video messages (eg vzw flix mms). But with Mp4 I had 15-20 fps even in 640x480. Best advice. use MP4 video. Stay away from H.264 because that is CPU heavy and results in blocky looking video. Black border on the right side? It only means you are not recording in widescreen mode and does not show up in playback. Select the widescreen option in advanced options and border is gone. Not sure if this will work on video, but it does on pics.
I'm not all too thrilled with CoolCamera. First, it's buggy as hell. Second, it's not free. And third, it doesn't work on all devices. I tried it on my Q9M about a year ago. Hasn't been updated since then. Since the Q9m has a crappy camera, I wanted more options. Unfortunately this program didn't help, as the options didn't work on that phone. The camera on my TP2, different story. Very advanced compared to the Q's crappy setup. Don't even want to try CoolCamera on this thinking it might be worse off than factory HtcCamera. There have to be better options then that program (CoolCam). The developer of that app has focused on his webcam app instead.
How did you get your camera to record at 640x480 my Tilt2 doesnt seem to have that option
A while back CM12 had a patch that enabled 4K video recording. I remember that it even worked SOME of the time, but mostly it showed to be recording without saving anything. Currently on CM12 and Blisspop the option is again removed - probably because it was buggy: review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/103494
I've tried many different camera ZIPs from other manufacturers (Motorola cam, Lenovo cam) but they do not appear to enable 4K either.
I tried playing around with the media_profiles configuration file, uncommenting the 4K profile. This does enable 4K video recording - even saving, but the framerate is really bad (<10), both with stock and third party cameras.
So my question: Did anyone ever get smooth 4K video to work on AOSP? If so what was the combination of software used?
yes it did work for idiots who;
1) flased xXcameraXxfix_AROMA_VIPERPRO_v4_FAKXDA_LIKE_SUBSCRIBE_DONATE_YOUTELLMEBUGS.zip
2) set the resolution to 4K
3) shot a video
4) never realized it didn't even save, even if it did, it was lagging between 5 and 15 fps
TL;DR
no, it did not, i have flashed all the 3rd party crap from random monkeys claiming they fixed the camera on aosp promising stock quality
to those who come in here telling me it does, provide proof or gtfo

BUT, is there any non-stock ROM with STOCK camera quality? No 4K, I do not need that, only 1080p (60 fps or 30).
Nope Coki4, unfortunately Tehosiris is right: with the HTC cam and resolution "fix" I can record in 4K, but it is still way too low framerate (15 FPS or worse).
Voterx: To me 4K is most important, hence the thread. If i want proper pictures I take my DSLR anyway... 4K video is something that is really a beautiful thing if you have the screen to display it. There is a huge difference between 1080p and 4K.
To me it is starting to look like the camera driver in AOSP source is just not able to push the pixels?
Snap camera does it. I have also found that snap camera takes as good, or better in some cases, pictures as the stock camera.

you're wrong
With snap camera
What are you doing to get those file properties? Want to check what my jerky files say..
edit:
Properties here also shows 30 fps, but the video is jerky as fuuuuuu* - i guess it is saved "as" 30 FPS but it just drops a bunch. Yes it is 4K but def not 30 FPS, even if the file shows it to be (for me).
but.. if it is smooth for you I want to know your exact rom details so I can try to achieve my holy grail.
can one of the digital cowboys upload these fabled 4k videos shot on aosp?
i still yet to see a nonstock 4k video that doesn't lag like ****
@geekmystique the jerkyness doesn't show in properties, they are just the same as regular videos, you can check the properties in root explorer or any other file explorer.
it does not matter , it is important that you are not right

your 2nd screenshot shows that the 4k video is in 59.9 fps, now THAT i'd like to see.
bending physics with an apk eh? :laugh:
edit: judging from the amount of silence after the bigface comments, i assume it takes an awful lot of time to upload the fabled 60fps 4k video (translation: someone is full of **** and/or clueless)
Let's not make this into a flamewar of sorts.
This is a video I took of my hand waving in front of the camera, whatever the file info says, it is not 30 FPS - by far, it is dropping frames like crazy. The file properties say 30 FPS in MPCHC, but windows properties shows the truth: 18 FPS.

If your video looks better, great - let me know what you did. And if you can spare the time, post it please.
Let's discuss
I do not need 4K, I just need stock quality camera in custom ROMS It's different question.

i suggest you take a look at the camera comparison post here on xda, showing stock / moto / htc / whatever side-by-side
there is no such thing as stock quality on non-LG driver backed software
Anyways, i'm absolutely on geekmystique's side here, i've had multiple people giving me lectures how i need to flash xyz.zip set ABC settings to DEF, align my device towards Mars, count to 7 and stand on my left foot to have AMAZING STOCK QUALITY PHOTOS AND VIDEOS.
Guess what, i've done all those steps, flashed all the zips, pirated all the ****ty apks and gotten nothing but disappointment.
Thats why there is sarcasm towards these 'BUT MY AOSP CAMERA IZ BETTUR BRUH YOU SUK', when it's clearly not. Hell, half of the conversations ended at 'WHO NEEDS 4K' or 'I DONT NEED CAMERA ANYWAYS' which is ridiculus when it's these people giving lectures on how to flash stuff they don't even know what it contains.
dudumm tsss

If so.. Please post the video - my video that I posted also says 30 FPS, but it stutters like mad. If you can get better video I would be really happy to know.
Guess the aosp camera is just as good as stock boys are back in their caves.
I use Cloudy only because of Xcam. I really would like a [email protected] or [email protected] for CM12.1
Hi. Does anybody know why HTC doesn´t support 1080p 60 fps video recording? Is it software or hardware related? If it´s software related, is there any possibility to record video in 1080p @ 60fps?

Hardware is definitely capable. Lots of apps in play store will record at 1080/60fps. I haven't tried any, I'll leave that to you.

Hey, I am also interested in this topic. In fact the only thing holding me back getting a 10 is the question if it is able to record 60hz at least with an after market app. So could anybody who already owns one try this please?
Open Camera doesn't work
Tested Open Camera from the play store. You can set the framerate to 60 fps but it will still record in 29.97 fps.
Hello, does anyone know if this is implemented in a ROM or if there's a mod available to enable 1080p 60fps recording ? I barely found out about this just before i decided to purchase the 10 and found it odd due to the fact that the M8 can do 1080p @60:rolleyes :roll eyes: . Is there a way a request can be made or something ?

I've looked into it the but HTC added some compilation the configuration for 60fps is the same for The HTC 10 Nexus 6p and 5X have it working on the nexus .
HTC Complications.
In Camera 2 Mode it could be accessed via high speed recording api but for some reason this causes strange green overlay flickering video is in 60fps but unusable so that's out.
Camera 1 mode using Qualcomms video-hfr parameter HTC seems to have substituted this with their own video-mode parameter in theory it should work but they messed with some switch where even if you select 60fps it tries to look for a 90fps stream but that's nothing that can't be fixed in ida.
I tried using video-mode param but didn't seem to take any effect I do not have a HTC 10 to do further tests to make matters worse HTC added log mask code in pretty much all the libs rendering logcat useless.
The logcat mask needs to be disabled somehow once that's done there maybe hope but as it is now no device and no logcat I can't do much about it.
There alternative is to get 60fps working at 4k that does not require video-hfr or high-speed recording it requires time and trial and error to find the correct register values currently the know reg configs give 40fps 1080p and 32-35fps 4k.

Was anyone able to achieve [email protected] video recoding with the stock camera app?
I always saw that a lot of phones I had before got some software mods that improved e.g. camera, or any other app, so why is it that HTC 10 cannot get Camera mod to include [email protected]?
Besides, 4k video IS recorded at 60fps, so I doubt it is not possible with 1080p...
Thank you everyone for explanations and answers

Anyone figure this out? I'm looking at the Pixel or the HTC 10. The pixel can record at 1080p 120FPS and it has the same CPU as the HTC 10
Hi all. I am curious of what 4k bitrate ability and limitations there are on the HTC 10, with 3rd party apps., specifically to US variants including sprint t-mobile , att , verizon..
Does anyone know how well the HTC 10 would do with 3rd party apps for 4k? Can I rely on stock firmware? or are there camera mods needed for HTC models for improved 4k?
I am looking to use these apps :
Cinema4k
Lumio Camera
Freedcam
Open Camera
Curious if anyone had used any of these with the HTC 10 ...and what variant? and android version? for 4k higher bitrate?
How well did they work?
I am curious to know before acquiring one.
Any and all opinions , info appreciated.
So I am pretty sure the stock 4K recording is between 45-55MBit
Open Camera works very nicely, especially if you want to shoot in RAW mode. I have never used it for video however. I only use OpenCamera if I want to shoot in RAW mode. Otherwise, I use the stock camera app. It is just way faster to have an app already configured to shoot in RAW rather than trying to configure your "normal" app to RAW on the fly. Just choose the app that is already configured for that purpose.
