720p record of camera..pls check..

Hi all,
I find a guy in China post a 3 seconds 720p video recorded by Defy. I've checked with the file, it's true (with the video information and the guy took the video before a mirror from which I can see the defy) and the quality is fine.
the video file is posted in below link, but need registration..
bbs.gfan.com/android-808478-1-1.html
My question is whether any rom or update lib already make it available?

Anyone confirmed this? I cannot see myself - i am at work :/

I can't see the videos, the guy is talking about Hancock 1.0rom.

cant see a video it doesnt open :?

uploaded the 720p record..

Yes, the guy said he uses the Hancock 1.0 rom, and he explained that maybe the speed of SDHC card is the key aspect to have a 720p video record, as other people could not reach 720p although they also use Hancock's rom.
I upload the video in,
(delete the blank between w) w w w.rayfile.com/en/files/7ccd5ebd-473f-11e0-8ef0-0015c55db73d/5a4aff15/
Anybody have a check?

Now, I have some doubt about the video, as I find the defy doesn't move while the other things are moving in the video..
What do you think?

I was watching the video that you upload and I can tell you that is a good video (3 seconds duration) that shows a defy in front a mirror. But I can't read anything anywhere about the libraries and any other stuff to import at EU version for exemple.
Has any one the information about that? Thanks!

I checked the source forum and it looks promising, though the rom doesn't seem very stable at the moment, and many users still can't use the 720p recording (instant crash, but some can according to what they said).
The author is working on the 720p recording issue, but I doubt it has anything to do with sd card speed. 2mb/s should be more than enough and its hard to find slower sd card these days.

the first vid seems rather good, but i didn't like the 2nd video with obviously too much compression.

gfan.com forums are horrendously to browse, 99% of people are just replying for replying sake and to gain some "virtual coins"... Stupid.
back to the topic, if it's true, then I suppose it will trickle onto other roms later.

It seems the mods are in libbayercamera.so, not in libsoccamera.so; so 720p rec won't work on our (older MB525?) devices.

Please could you explain this?
Why it wound work?
Defy hast got a HD Cam inside.
So why it shoudnt work?
Where we can get this file?

I have seen this video and i was wondering how the hell he got 720p ..
Late there was a comment :"iMovie has exported this video in 720p even if the original clip was smaller"

OK, I installed the custom rom http://bbs.nduoa.com/android_gphone_thread-102474-1-1.html. After installation, the phone model changed from MB525 to ME525.

Call recorder, the unique Chinese rom feature, works as expected.
New recording options are added.
720p (1280x720) recording works here, though the quality isn't great. A small chip taken in 720p is attached.

Please, could someone find out which files are modded and build a working one for ure MB525 Defy?
Would realy great!!!
So also we can use our LED for Flash and it wouldnt be kill!! )

[MOD][DEV] Enhanced Camera & Audio

Right now i'm doing some research to make some improvements on Camera and Audio to our device.
Things i've done so far:
Code:
[LIST]
[*][COLOR="Red"]V2[/COLOR]
[*]Enabled AGC
[*][COLOR="Red"]V1[/COLOR]
[*]Doubled to 320kbps with stereo audio encoding (Recorded videos, whatsapp and probably any other app that record sound will get crystal clear audios, caution with your data usage. Doubled encoding means doubled size)
[*]Doubled to 20 Mbit/sec video encoding 720p
[*]Bumped to 99% JPEG
[/LIST]
To do list:
Force 1080p recording (it has no affect playing with media_profiles.xml yet)
AGC - Automatic Gain Control (if you record something very loud like a concert, the sound will get very ****ed up)
What I know:
Motorola has disabled AGC for some reason I don't know. If you look at audio_effects.conf you'll find some Dolby code and AGC, AEC and NS as commentaries.
AGC, AEC and NS relies on pre_processing and libaudiopreprocessing.so, which wasn't declared on the file in first place.
The sensor has 1080p capabilities (pipeline and everything), since we share the same camera module as Nexus 5. I believe we can fine tune some stuff with the camera apk. For now I want to try this first to later research with libs/drivers.
I've managed to decompress the APK file but i have no idea how to decompile DEX, ARSC and the XML files (are XML compressed/obfuscated? It wasn't readable).
Can someone enlight me over?
Flash at your own risk.
Tested on CM12.1
Stock not tested yet

The audio graphs i've analyzed with and witouth the mod seems that AGC is on(maybe with a very moderated preset). Can someone try to record a video on a very loudly place?

With stock 5.0.2 camera and libs or cm12.1 camera? (I'm on my way to an edm rave party lol jk)
Sent from my Moto G 2014

Great work!
Can someone post some pictures/videos for comparison vs stock?
RAW support for the camera would be amazing as well.

I believe it works from 4.4 KK to 5.0.2 and CM 12.1.
I'll post something to compare with later.
If someone help me to understand and manipulate DEX ARSC and those weird XML i would be very happy

i think it's not possible, but maybe add camera2 api is possible?

Please mention if this mod is for stock rom or it will work on any rom...

I noticed an improvement in the quality of camera friend

Hi all, can confirm this works on stock 5.0.2, no bootloops, audio quality REALLY impressive, as for AGC, I tried screaming into the mic a couple times and there was no audio distortion, I still need to check out the increased video bitrate, but it looks really sweet, thank you, keep up the awesome work, really looking forward to 1080p video working on this device

That's not possble for photos, but the video resolution could theoretically be increased from 720p (aprox. 0.9 Megapixels) to 1080p (2MP).
Is there a way to enable recording with 60 frames per second? I would also like to see some comparison pictures/videos if possible.

Hmmm i don't think so, not without messing with the .so files.
In low light conditions out device records at 15 FPS to increase sensor exposure to compensate the light. In sunny conditions it records at 30.
I've been trying to decompile the lastest moto camera but it seems i can't find some portion of the code. I'm still trying to understand how those stuff works and how Android manage and rely in things.
I'll reserch some more about decompiling/recompiling APK and .so files.

Just a quick update:

Obviously, it doesn't work. My guess is: Sensor DOES support and app detects it, but libs don't.

Camera 2 API Fix?

After applying jigs4wkiller's zip to my mi5s for the camera2 API fix as well as google camera I noticed that the openCamera app still did not detect that the device was capable of using the camera2 API. I later learned it is because openCamera requires that the device's android.hardware.camera.level is equal to limited, full, or level3. In the case of the mi5s, it is set to null. Is there any way to fix this?
I use openCamera for its great manual controls which can only be accessed if it detects that the device supports the camera2 API.
Also, the google camera 60fps feature does not seem to be working properly when using MGCB_7.0H_C2API_Full_PXL2_v.1.4.apk which leads me to believe that something else is wrong.

Try another manual camera app like Freedcam or ProShot because for me the Manuel controls works in every camera app excepted open camera

Freedcam appears to have stopped development(thread is closed, no download link), and really would rather not buy ProShot when it doesn't even have a 4/5 on play store. Any other recommendations for a manual camera? I've tried Cinema fv 5, filmic pro and cinema 4k and none of them are better then open camera for filming imo.

Just bought proshot and tried it out. Unfortunately it doesn't have 1080p at 60fps or infinite focus so I can't consider it a replacement for openCamera.

MOTO Z2 FORCE Slow motion and Video modes port.

Hello guys, sorry for creating a thread.
I've been checking some info about our Mi 6 and Z2 Force and looks like they have the same camera sensor and the same processor.
Is it possible to port the Moto Camera to our Mi 6 like they did with Redmi Note 3 Pro (slow motion mode and 60fps 1080p recording) ?
Do you know any idea on where to start (if I would do it by myself) since i've already tried with no success, copying some blobs and drivers from Z2 Force?

Mi 6 recognizes the new blobs, "runs" in 120fps (screen fps) but doesn't record it on the file.....
I tried several media_profiles, but nothing works on paper yet.

Update, 720p 120fps working much better at greater detail.

Well, I could not activate 240FPS yet because I have no clue on how to introduce this new lib to Mi 6 (since we don't have this feature)
60fps doesnt work in 1080p because MI 6 doesn't write 60fps videos. It records (because I can see the difference in screen fps during the recording).
Even though I changed the media_profile, it doesn't seem to work.

General 4k/60fps with gcam

Hi guys! I have been able to record 4k/60fps with my Poco f3 with gcam mod and using forced 4k/60fps. So i think this phone has imx586 instead of imx582.

im pretty sure even if on the gcam of your F3 you have the ption 4k 60fps its still recording at 30 fps(and the stabilisation always trick you to think you have high fps)

It is real 4k/60fps when analyzing the metadata (And there isn't any stabilisation)

Hi, I also want to test this, when I get my Poco F3. Can you post which gcam mod exactly you use?

I tried that and no difference in real fps when you look at video it is still jerky...
Make longer video you will see 35fps average and 50mb/s like stock app on 30fps...

Try uploading a sample clip? I think the IMX582 4k60 is locked in hardware.

I made a few test videos with different settings: https://mega.nz/folder/zVljkA4S#IIvT6jlU-Xy0MdUYhGzOAA
The occasional skips are because of the notebook not the camera. It looks like the gcam 4k 30fps is only 30mbit/s and 4k 60 is around 50mbit/s like stock 4k 30fps.
If you go frame by frame you can clearly see that the 60fps does have more frames.
I also noticed that the stock cam is more zoomed in than the gcam (except for 1080p 60fps).

Very interesting, which gcam did you use? I'd like to try it out myself. 4k60 does look better than 1080p60 and about the same smoothness too. The reason why it's more zoomed in in stock camera is because of EIS, gcam usually has worse EIS than stock camera but it appears as you have disabled EIS in gcam.

I used this gcam: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-bsg/f/dl16/
And yes, I used EIS on the standard setting.

Has anyone managed to turn on image stabilization in GCAM? I tested several versions. I was able to turn on 60fps in 4K. However, EIS does not run in a rare resolution. The corresponding option in GCAM is of course enabled.

I always use the latest version of BSG. I really care about stabilization of 60 fps. https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-bsg/

I would also recommend the latest version. The version I linked was just what I had installed when I made the test.
For BSG cams the versions _snap _MGC _ENG... are afaik only different package names. That will allow you to install multiple gcams at the same time. So it doesn't really matter which of these you use.

It actually seems to be working.
I didnt saw any codec stuf. But was filming the ground and the the rocks while walking and changing between 30 and 60 and was night and day. Way smoother

Huh it actually works, there is no EIS on the 60fps options I tried in gcam. Sad but the fact that 4k60 is possible is great news.

I have very good news. I spent a few hours "playing" with Gcam. I was able to turn on stabilization at 60 fps in FHD and 4K resolutions - main camera. I made a few more improvements for better photo quality. If you want to enjoy video stabilization:
1. Install the latest version of BSG. I used this: https://1-dontsharethislink.celsoazevedo.com/file/filesc/MGC_8.1.101_A9_GVy_ENG.apk
2. Change Gcam settings with my file arkadia_Gcam_settings_ver2.xml
Sample photos and video with my settings. Of course, to see them in original quality, you need to download them to your computer.
