[Q] The best Rom/Kernel combo for filming - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm currently on SlimKat 4.4.4 with AgniKernl on my t0lte and the default camera app only records sound in the right channel and has a massive tint problem towards the blue. Other apps such as IgCamera have issues such as the video format switching from 16:9 to some wierd format that compresses the image vertically whenever i press the Record button. Agni is not the default kernel for this rom, so it could be the problem. But i really need a kernel in which i can alter the screen colors as i have a green tint on my phone without such a trick, and Agni is the only kernel i know in which i can do this by simply altering a couple of text files.
I'd like to start filming in unflinching 1080p with my phone. What i'd like to know is what combination of rom and kernel (other than all-stock, i guess) that works really well for the t0lte when filming. I don't even remember what it was like being on stock on this phone as it was so long ago. But does the camera work really well there? Does anyone know if an advanced app such as IgCamera works well in stock? I'd love to use a more professional app in which i can alter data-rates etc.

Standard UK MotoBlur Froyo 2.2 Camera missing some settings option

Hi,
I flashed my Defy with standard UK MotoBlur Froyo 2.2 ROM but it seems some settings are missing from the Camera software ! (Though it works fine)
Not sure but I have seen on internet people have White Balance adjustment and some other settings. I only have scenes, effects, flash on the screen and Exposure +/- in the settings.
Are there different standard Camera apps on Froyo 2.2 ROMs ?
Is there a better thrird-party free Camera app that I can use from the market.... ?
Cheers,
General consensus seems to be lgcamera best app for photos. ( available from market) also you can patch your phone for 720p recording with same app.
As for stock camrra you have pressed the menu button on phone to see extra settings?
Yes I have pressed the settings, that gives Exp +/-. The little slide away control bar gives flash control, but not much else that I have seen on other stock camera apps.
I got the lgCamera app so I try to use that instead. I was just wondering why it was different. Thanks...
I've tried lgcamera and a number of others on my Defy and none of them have offered anything other than auto white balance. I've got the green lens (aka "SoC") camera, if that makes any difference.
The data sheet for the Omnivision camera module does say that it supports manual white balance as well as auto. It might be something as simple as turning off the AWB enable bit (bit 0) in register 0x5001, in a similar way to that found by franek123 to adjust the jpg compression as discussed in this thread. In fact I'm almost tempted to give it a try, if I can find the time.

Few thoughts about 4.2.1 stock camera app

Hi,
1) No button to start either recording or taking photos. Always I need to switch to either video camera or photo. And the process is so laggy.
Maybe there is a way to have shortcut directly to video camera rather than to photo camera?
2) Do you feel that camera app is laggy? For instance switching to last photo with a gesture is slow. And if you turn/rotate the phone - it is dead for a few seconds.

You can start the camera app and switch it to recording, it will keep the recording active till you shut down your device or force close the app. It's just a workaround. There's no way to link to recording with the stock camera app. And my phone has no lags so far, I can switch it from camera to recording and back again without a single lag. The gesture to open the last photo is sometimes a little bit tricky that it accepts my gesture but I can't see any lags.
What's your rom and kernel setup?
Stock rom
Franco kernel
Powermode is set to max (max freq is 1306mhz)
Thanks for your comments.

Kernel release?
Ever faced the lags on another rom?
r361. But same with other nightlies.
Never tried other ROMs as I am satisfied with stock.
I think I must live with it. Maybe it is ok and I just have big expectations.
I recall that camera on ICS was faster.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
My phone is fluid and I can't reproduce the lags. Other roms could fix it, but if you are happy with stock then there's no reason to flash. 3rd party camera apps have you tried one of them?

N7100 Screen Recording

Hi All,
I'm using Note 2 N7100. Currently Using OMEGA ROM.
I've been searching for a screen recorder in Android. Got a couple of them, but no luck.
I've tried:
1) Screen Cast: Recording dies when I try to record a game.
2) Z Screen Recorder: Video is of very low quality. When I see the preview of the game in video, it's very hard to recognize anything.
3) ASC Recorder: Never records. Very buggy.
Even worked out with various ROM's to see if it would record.
Above results of recorders remains same when I try with OMEGA, Allience ROM.
Screen Cast records games in liquid smooth, and other original roms, but I don't understand THE RECORDING COLOR CHANGES. Ex: actual color of a character is yellow, but when I see in video it will be green. SUCKS!!!
At last, I got a dump of SAMSUNG Note2 ROM, which has Screen Recorder APK.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31240992#post31240992
I don't understand where I went wrong. I placed APK and odex file in system/apps/ but pops notification "Application Not Installed." I didn't understand the dependencies of application.
Can anyone suggest me a way to record screen in any of way, either from the dump or any good application. Did anyone had a good luck over it..?
With screen cast, did you set the video quality to high?
I also noticed on aosp roms there appears to be no red tones. Instead you get blue tones. Probably something to do with the kernel, perhaps?

Yes. I've set it to high quality. Tweaked around with screen cast. But there were no changes. Ya, I'm sorry, even I got blue tones. Any idea of this..? Is there any way to achieve it through the dump..!!!

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.

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.

So I've been using this since released and it is an amazing rom, lovin it.
2 questions about the new camera though. I have seen a video where in split capture both front and rear record simultaneously, however it seems to only work capturing rear camera and then after capturing front camera. Is the M7 not capable of the simultaneous capture? Also does the M7 not support the Full Hd (1920x1080) resolution for videos? When attempting to record it looks very sharp and crisp but when playing the recording back i get blotched colors and a thick green and purple line on the right side of the video.

The m7 does not have native dual capture like the m8 does.
In regular camera before Eye experience, it is able to capture image from both, with a PictureInPicture looking window for front camera.
At one point, I attempted to try and enable dual capture for the m7, but did not have much luck and did not try for long.
It's possible that it could be enabled, but I have yet to do so.
Most of that would be done kernel side and I do believe it can be done.
But HTC never gave us that ability on the m7.
So yeah, to use dual capture/split view, it takes one and then the other.
As far as the video, yes it does HD.
I have yet to do a lot of video with the Eye camera, but I did not notice anything like that in my testing.
You may actually be one of the many who have an inferior sensor, as many have had to send theirs in for repair/replacement for similar issues.
It may just be that the newer camera stresses it more, making it more apparent.
I assume you are in fact on the latest firmware, so that shouldn't be a concern.
If others are having similar effects, then it could be a result of porting the libs and binaries for the new features from the m8.
But if it's just happening for you, or a select few, then I would lean towards the hardware failure that HTC is aware of.
Thanks for the info, after posting this i messed around with the settings for the video issue. This is what I came across, if I set video quality to 1920x1080 via settings and shoot video on auto i get what I described in my post. If I change from auto and shoot in hdr I do not get the blothchy color or lines but image seems to be zoomed in a little.
Now when i set video quality to 1280x720 via settings and shoot video on auto no image issues. If I change from auto to hdr still using 1280x720 in the settings i get a 1920x1080 video that looks like it should not zoomed in either.
Seems odd but got it working. So would this be a hardware issue like you suggested or issue with the app, seeing it was meant for the M8?
Thanks again for sharing your work !
Camera Issue
First off Santod, been using your ROMS for quite a while now and have greatly appreciated your hard work. I have just one problem with this new one, as I see someone has already stated, I too am having an issue with my camera during recording. It looks fine on the screen while recording, but after recording i go to look at the video, and it's almost as if the split picture is active, but only for the back camera. What I mean is that there appears to be a line cutting the screen into two sections (like the split picture does, but it's still the whole screen video from the back camera) and the colors are off, almost as if it has the negative filter on but not quite. I have not had any issue with the camera previous to installing this new ROM. There is also a green line that shows up on the top of the video, on all the videos i have taken. Im not entirely sure that it isn't a software issue as I haven't had any trouble on previous roms, but I'm sure you know a lot more about it than I do. I'm about to reflash the ROM and see if that doesn't maybe fix it, but I figured I would let you know of the only problem I have encountered so far. Thanks again for all your work!

I tried this also, and it had the exact same effect for me. I wish I would have seen this yesterday as I recorded a whole show last night with messed up video and didn't even know it lol. Thanks for this, I guess I will use this as a workaround for now.
---------- Post added at 04:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:32 PM ----------
Upon closer inspection when i played back the video on my computer, the video is actually two of the same videos playing next to each other, not a whole video cut in half by a line.
some bug, need fix
Before, i really Thanks You cuz best series Rom for M7 VWZ.
Yesterday, i up this Rom for my M7 VWZ, but have some bug ...
I'm from Vietnam and use GSM Sim, i'm up from NuSence 4.4.3 and have some bug....
1> Only Call success at first call, then need restart for other call.
2> have icon Sim Notsupport in status bar,
i was reup many times but it's still that, now, i;m go back NS 4.4.3
P/s: Can you port "Ufocus" on M8 for M7 VWZ ?
I don't have any reboot options on my power menu. The only options I see are "Power off" and "Airplane mode". I also can't find any options for changing this, either in the installer or in Settings. Is there a way to fix this without doing a full wipe?
If it makes any difference, I originally installed this ROM using a full wipe with Nova Launcher selected, then later re-installed without wipe to change the launcher to Blinkfeed (but the reboot option has never appeared with either launcher).
Issues with Chromecast
Hey Santod,
I have been trying to mirror my screen with the chromecast app. as it connects it then disconnects and never actually works. I had it working on your older Nusense Six 8.0. Just wondering if this is something you can work on or if this is something I will just have to wait until the next iteration of builds.
Thanks,
Kevin Clark
Casting screen with Chromecast
Does anyone else have issues casting your screen with Chromecast? I tried, and it immediately ends the cast, leaving my TV at a black screen.
Thanka

I can also confirm that screen casting my screen no longer works as it did in the previous NuSense. So far this only appears to be an issue with Mirroring. Casting from apps like Youtube and Netflix work fine for me.

My battery life with this rom has been insane. I'd be at thirty percent after ten hours on gpe and dirty unicorns and the dalvik version of nusense.
Thanks for making a great rom, looking forward to Chromecast screen mirroring.
So I can't get ART to stick. Every time i switch to it and reboot it doesnt change. I am using xposed modules if that makes a difference
epst programming works?

In having an issue with Bluetooth audio
I can pair my head set but it won't pass any audio
Any ideas?
Anyone else having issues with GPS / Google Maps on this ROM?
Was this version supposed to not have the Sense toolbox installed with it? I'm not sure how else to enable the swipe-typing otherwise...?
Issues switching to ART
Hey Santod,
I haven't gotten any reply from you about the chromecast issue. I understand. You are a great developer. I did have a quick question about ART though. I tried to switch my Phone to ART, but it didn't actually switch over when I told it to reboot to switch to ART. What am I doing wrong?

Currently I have a broken arm, so my presence and ability to type are somewhat effected.
i dont use Chromecast so cant help too much there.
i know I saw info online about it and how you have to access it differently then what seemed obvious.
As for Art, Xposed is not Art compatible and will auto revert you to dalvik if enabled.
So you have to choose one or the other, which is why I left Xposed out of this build.
