I havent been on here for a few days. Does anyone know the status on the 30fps issue and if it has been resolved for the nova screens?
Did you really have to waste a thread in development to ask a stupid question that could have been answered by taking a look in the 30FPS cap thread on the General forum?
Yes, there is a hack, no it isn't stable, but it does prove that the cap is not hardware - but rather software - imposed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=699290
not really fixed yet, but there has been progress.
I'm not trying to be a **** but in my experience, searching first will train your brain to think. No seriously, I always do a search first before asking simply because it requires me to come up with what to search and what to keyword to use to be more efficient. Beside by searching you'll learn a lot about other stuff a long the line that you will need it later on. For instance, I bricked my Evo when I had it and while searching I ran into a post on how to get out of boot loop and right after I recovered my bricked, I got boot loop lol and I knew exactly where to go.
Just wanted to share a little experience that's all, and didn't mean to be an a$$ about it.
EDIT: This guy just made my day!! I just made a 47kbit video with this mod to stock camera.
NOW we can close this thread if mods so desire =) Thank you everyone!
So the bitrate on HTC One X's camera is hilariously low.
Videos that it spits out terrible when compared to SGSII which I gave to my wife. Video is just strobbing and wobbling due to it.
I understand that some people have very low quality standards and are satisfied with it, and there were some threads about it here.. but everything kinda died out.
I think hardware is capable of "normal" bitrate, since some market camera apps allow for it.. But can we make a hack to our camera to allow for high bitrates?
I mean, I love the phone.. but what's the point of 1080p video capability if it spits out 10k bitrate? None.

Maybe that should tell you something. Do you think starting a new thread when others are open is going to change anything? It's been acknowledged and is for now a fact of life. What are you expecting to happen? More ranting? A petition perhaps? For those that are desperately miserable with all or parts of the One X, why don't you sell it and get an SGS3? Repetitive ranting here isn't going to change anything no matter how many threads are opened.
Duplicate threads, especially those that are stated as duplicate threads, get closed.
I agree, 720p goes ok, but 1080p stutters a lil bit.. the bitrate should be higher..
tried it with some other apps, like lgCamcorder.. you can select the bitrate and you'll get smoother video (20mbps is enough)

maybe HTC will eventually bring out an update, wich increases the bitrate of the camera app (hope so)

Look at you all puffing and pissed off, lol. Angry little creature.
I opened this thread because it's a legitimate question about why aren't those threads getting an attention they deserve. Perhaps people are satisfied with choppy wobbly video that One X produces, perhaps a solution has been found that I'm not aware of. Hence, the thread.
And a related question - What are you expecting to happen by yelling at me for opening this thread? More ranting? For you, desperately miserable and super angry about this thread, why don't you see a shrink - perhaps they can fix you up.
Now unless you got something relevant to contribute to the problem at hand, go rant somewhere else.

I remember seeing someone who developed a higher bitrate camera for Sensation trying to make one for HOX.. but not sure what happened there - did he lose interest?
It just surprises me that this isn't discussed much more.
Search for the sense HQcamera mod - when i was running sense i got 29fps at 11-12,000kbps and uncompressed/4-5mb pics BIG difference compared to stock camera. CM9 - im getting 18-19,000kbps with 22fps indoors, will test outdoors later.
It's been talked about A LOT, especially by me in this thread.

Yes, I remember that one. Unfortunately, development of it for HOX was stopped, and existing beta mod freeezes up and FCs a lot. I just tried latest 1.3beta for Sense4 - that is indeed the case.
I contacted that developer with a PM, asking him what does he need to fully port that mod for HOX, with 25+mbits for 1080p. If he needs a financial incentive to compensate for his time and effort, I'll get a bounty going here.
So far, only Camera ICS works decently well, without crashing.
LGCamera is on and off kind of thing. About half the time it doesn't record anything - just black video feed.

I've actually been asked by a XDA member to do some more tests with the current ROM version. Will be doing 720p and 1080p some time soon Been raining these days, not enough sun ):
one thing to open a new thread to "talk about the problem" over and over, another with the purpose of actually solving / improving the issue.
imho i'm tired of discussing the "problem", it has been discussed already to death, that's why the search function is for.
as far as the "solution" goes, there's couple of threads/developments around which (WOW) are linked in the respective "problem" threads....
@OP: there's other alternatives to LgCamera that work well...care to search for them?

And your ranting adds what to the thread?
LGCamera doesn't work very well with HOX. Many times it can't get the feed from camera and won't work until reboot.
Camera ICS is a bad alternative as it's ugly, has adds and has resolution problems.
HDCamera mod doesn't work with HOX.
I did read those threads, that's why I opened this one.
Now, can we stop acting like a new thread costs millions of dollars and move on with the discussion? If you don't want to participate - don't participate. If all you want to do is complain - please avoid this thread kkthnx.

close your eyes when taking a photo so you don't have to see the CameraICS interface...add 1.99$ to the mix and get rid of the ads. there are no resolution problems.
nothing new that hasn't been said before.....

I've never mentioned it before, but all those apps at least used to have dodgy aspect ratios when recording video, couldnt find any option to work around it.

It still does =(
Just bought a paid version of Camera ICS - tested it out - stretched videos. Had to get a refund immediately.
So Camera ICS isn't a viable option, so is LGCamera that can't even connect to the camera about 80% of the time (tested on several ROMs).
Back at square one =(
45kbit+ video mod for stock camera!!! Seems to be working fine so far. Now I'm happy =)
Seems to be recording at 24fps only. Not smooth enough for me /:

there was a mod for 29FPS out there, wasn't it?
but bitrate still @ 10-12mbps
pick your poison, will take a genius to combine FPS and bitrate in one mod
Hey,sorry for making a new topic just for one question but in the existing one nobody is posting anymore,i've recently bought
a galaxy nexus and when i was looking through the settings i noticed a strange texture coming from the right part but the weird thing
is that this seems to be the only problem,i've seen that other people seem to have similar issues but some say it is a common problem for
this type of pentile display,i started checking the main topic about what's right and what not-nexus screens and i couldn't find any other
problems,it's not bothering me or something but i just wanted to be sure it is normal.
The Pictures yu have posted are not giving a proper meaning of your "Strange Texture" to me at least.
I would recommend you post the Screen Shots instead....

good day.
Can the M8 shoot Raw in lollipop ?
If yes can someone post a sample of both front and rear camera.
Need Samples to extract data to fix raw for the non GPE m8 still on kit kat
thanks .
Bumping as I have the same question.
I am running CM12 nightly based on Android 5.0.2 and I would love to be able to shoot RAW with my HTC ONE M8.
I'm a photographer, and as far as I know the cameras on phones don't have that... RAW capability because they lack the sensor that RAW uses. However it seems theirs an app that does its best to use the sensors on the camera to get RAW (Just not as good as a standard camera)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flavionet.android.camera.pro
download it and give it a try?

Thats true, you could always get a refund but... its iffy. I'm currently beating on that HTC hasn't implemented a RAW update.

Raw capability is nothing to do with the sensor! On any camera or phone! It just means the device stores the data created by the sensor as it is captured, rather than post processing the output and compressing it to a jpg file!

You are welcome - Maybe now it will get answered!
This is the problem with forums around the interweb... Threads that are left open with incorrect information in them - Is it any wonder people struggle to find the correct information they require. Or spend hours reading multipage threads that don't help.
I also hate it when forum lurkers jump on people for not using google - It's usually google that brought them their in the first place! If you know the answer already exists, link them to it, if not keep the sarcasm to yourself! Or at least give them a specific search term to use in google!
If someone in the street asked you where the nearest post office was, would you feck them off with a 'go search google', or would you help them out??? If lots of people asked you this question obviously there is a problem with signage. Its way to easy to be flippant when sat behind a keyboard and monitor! Treat people on the net the way you would in person!
If the thread is too old to reply to, it should be closed! If it is solved it should be closed! If not, which it isn't, keep your waste of characters to yourself! My post may well be late, but it was factual and OT if not an answer to the OP, it was correcting a misconception of the OP that RAW capability is something sensor specific, when infact it is software and memory speed/capacity specific!
RAW capture is basically that, your saving the 'raw' data stream as it came from the sensor, and not a compressed and lossy version/interpretation of that data! For that you usually need high speed and fairly large capacity RAM/storage.

"Forum lurker", that's funny. My credentials speak for themselves as a helpful member of this community.
I never said anything about using Google, so you seem to be making up stuff in your head. Or incorrectly transposing your some other previous negative experience onto me.
You're getting far too defensive. I didn't insult you or call you names (which is more than can be said for you - the irony in your "hiding behind the keyboard" statement). I simply pointed out, entirely factually, that you dug up an old obscure thread, and then didn't even answer the main question posed. I tiny bit of sarcasm with the quotes around "Thank you" but that's it.
Its not anything I would shy away from saying to someone's face IRL.
And expecting someone to use some common sense when posting is hardly asking too much.

I did bring up some generic forum fails, and those comments admittedly were never intended to be directed at you personally.
For that sir please accept my apologies.
I had been trying to find something and had spent a few hours trawling threads to no avail. I have been a member of many forums going back almost 20 years, and all too many times have I seen long term members being hostile to 'new' or less knowledgeable people because they can't google - well google is now over run with search results from forum threads that lead nowhere because of this very attitude. Perpetuating the problem!
It was the thing about the thread being old, I've seen it many times before. SO WHAT, its old!
Isaac Newtons theories are old, but if someone today found something that required a correction, do you think they wouldn't bother?
The information I added to this 'old' thread is relevant and may be even educational to anyone else who may stumble upon it.
Maybe admins should automatically lock threads older than 3 months?!?! Would that be a good thing - Probably not!
I will leave it at that now, and be sure not to post on here in anything less than a current thread!
Hey there.
Recently i went over to CM12 on my LG G3, the move has been great, but has come with a price.
I have googled around, and im sure im not the only person with wishes as far as the camera on the G3, but i have not been able to find the answer i am looking for.
My main issue is that the camera has become almost put back to the stone age. All looks "decent" , but once you zoom in, my god, its like looking at PC game from the late 80s. Pixelated and useless.
I dont care about 120fps video or higher then stock quality, im just looking if there is any way at all to make this better?
I have tested a few app based camera solutions, and it does seem this is a driver thing, which i know from reading around isnt just so, but maybe my searchings arnt bringing up the full picture, so i thought i would ask here.
Hi, the short answer is no. This has been the main issue for people to move to AOSP or CM.
There are plenty of threads discussing about this issue.
Sorry for not having better news.
Only option is to use a stock based ROM.
