can't change video recording resolution

hello all, I need help in changing the resolution for the video recorder on the TP2. I've gone into the Advanced settings of the video recorder, but the option to change it is greyed out and is stuck on the small resolution. it worked the first day i used it a couple of weeks ago, but doesn't now. could I have installed a program that has taken control over this setting? thanks.

can anybody tell me what they have for this registry value?

Thank you both for checking. No, this happened before I added those extra camera modes. I'm (hopefully) attaching some pictures to see if you or anyone else wants to take a stab at this.
First is at HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\Video

Thanks for any effort. Much mahalos!

How are you accessing the video recorder? It seems to think it's in MMS mode, maybe try a few different approaches to launching the video recorder.

I normally access it by going to Programs, then Camera, then choosing Video. I've also accessed it through both links in TouchFlo3D. Each time, same result.
Are there any other ways?

Well it appears the setting I need to change is in picture 2. MainCamCaptSize is set to 2. On my wife's phone, it's set to 4096. When I try to change it, and soft reset, it changes back to 2. Any one have any ideas? Thanks!

Got a note from HTC saying that I need to do a hard reset to change my MainCamCaptSize value. Well duh! Please, can anyone take up my plight?

[BOOTANIMATION][BOOT SOUND] Playstation 1 (PSX, PSOne) Startup

Well, the title says it all! This is a boot animation + boot sound combo for the Galaxy S! I'm currently using it with CM7 (with the bootsound hack) and the visuals and audio are timed perfectly. I made this myself.
This actually makes me reboot my phone more often now...

Very nice, although it looks out of proportion.

Shouldn't be, all resizing was done in the correct aspect ratio, then cropped for the vertical orientation.

hey man , cool idea ! specially 4 the playstation fans

Why did you made 4 folders in the bootanimation.zip ?

It's to save space. Because the Sony logo has to stay on screen for 60 frames before the animation continues, I create a folder containing the 1 image, and then loop 60 times. Same with the last frame, except it loops forever.

I remember it looking more like this..

Yep, turns out the HD video I ripped it from was HD in aspect ratio too, and they stretched the logo to get it to that point :\ I'll make a proper one...

Need Help for Camera !!!

Hii
i am using gnex slimbean 4.3. now i am facing little problem with camera. it is not a big problem. but i need some help.
here is the screenshot on camera view. ( i always hide navigation bar, and status bar )

"lightbox_next": "Next",

}
But while i tried to capture img,.. it ends like this
both are not the same. captured image resolution is 2592*1944.
but actual screen view area is 2508*1412
is there is anyway to add a particular resolution in camera...because recently i took more than 100 images. but when i saw those images again i cannot get the same view, as i saw in the screenshot.
sorry for my english...if anyone knows how to do this, pls guide me how to do this. thank you

That is how the camera works on most phones. The camera app is full screen, and the phone is 16:9 or 16:10 ratio usually. However. The camera takes shots that are more square, probably 4:3 ratio. Instead of having black columns on the side it cuts off the top and bottom in the preview. If you want it to look more like the screenshot, just crop it down. Another option would be to try an alternate camera app. I don't know of any in particular, though, sorry.

Yeah stock camera does that. Install an alternate camera app like Camera Awesome or Camera Zoom FX.

Sorry to necropost, but the new Google camera in the play store now has proper 4:3 ratio in the preview(among other neat features). I think you need KitKat though.

[CM11]Better YouTube quality

If you do not like the quality of the video in the player "YouTube", you can replace it with an alternative "SuperTube Popup YouTube Player". It also supports background playback.

Or you can install an older version of official YouTube app.

Playing a little with viral lite youtube player i found that enabling gpu acceleration makes the videos looks like in the official youtube app. Disabling it makes videos look fine, so i wonder if there's some way to disable gpu acceleration in the youtube app.

I use a completely different solution. I installed the Xposed module App Settings and used it to change the screen resolution for the YouTube app. That way I can choose HD instead of HQ.

How did you do that? Give more details...

Install Xposed Framework and the App Settings module. Open App Settings and navigate to YouTube. Change the settings to something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You should now be able to choose HD instead of HQ.

I installed it today, works nice on our device. Ofcourse, could be even better, but all in all, maybe the best app of this type that I've tried.
Will stick with it, thanks.

Question Third party camera app shutter speed limited

I downloaded some third party camera apps so I could use pro mode and select the ISO and shutter speed. Unfortunately the max shutter speed is 8 seconds, why is that?
Is there any way to unlock longer shutter speeds? In my previous device I was able to set up to 32 seconds.
This issue is on astrocam, open camera and procam x. My device is also rooted.

I have pro cam X and was able to change it but I hadn't opened the app so had to give it the permissions

Yes I have given it all the permissions but the maximum shutter speed I can select is 8.3 seconds.
Could you post a screenshot of yours?

You're adjusting the wrong parameter, it's the "S" that is the problem. You have it at 0.5s try changing that to a higher value.

I did check the s I swiped it all the way to the far left and right

Sorry mate please take another screenshot after swiping the selector all the way to the right. In mine you can see the max is 8 seconds.
Also I really appreciate you trying to help me out.
