Enable VGA recording on HTC Pure

In case you guys didnt know, the HTC Pure or Tilt2 cannot do VGA video rec. You can enable VGA video rec if you install a program called BSB tweaks (google it). Go into the program and turn on "Enable hidden rec format", BUT DO NOT TURN ON "Improve MPEG bitrate", if you do it'll mess up the video camera and you'll have to hardreset. After the soft reset you can remove BSB tweaks if you want.
After that go into the camera settings and change the recording format to 3GPP2. Then you can change the resolution to VGA. To test if it really works, record 10 sec of footage with MPEG CIF resolution, then record 10 sec of 3GPP2 VGA resolution and you'll find that the VGA video is the larger file. I know it isnt true VGA video recording but its better than CIF.
Some video rec tips: Reduce camera brightness and change metering mode to average to increase framerate, reduce contract to see darker areas better.
BsbTweaks: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=589305

Well the problem with mine is that the captured video looks so bad with 3GPP2 VGA that I would rather stick with QVGA... Unless I am doing something wrong.

If it looks bad then you probably turned on "Improve MPEG bitrate" in BsbTweaks. Once you had done that, you cannot reverse the process by turning it back off. The 3GPP VGA video will look worse than QVGA. You will have to hardreset, install Bsbtweaks, and ONLY turn on option "Hidden Video Rec". After the softreset, test it out and you will see the improvement.

Actually you don't need to install or remove any programs, just set the following registry value
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Camera\P2:EncodeFormat
to
2147483647

Does it do more than 15fps with that method??
Because with my method Iam only getting 9-10 fps.
Nevermind, that Reg edit does the same thing.

[MOD] Stock camera mod LG GB V20e/i/j/l: No shutter sounds & improved Pic/Vid quality

[MOD] Stock camera mod LG GB V20e/i/j/l: No shutter sounds & improved Pic/Vid quality
Hi folks,
I modded the stock LG Camera-app and implemented new features.
Every improvement (except 16:[email protected]) is working seamlessly with this mod. Please find the list of improvements below.
I also included the "media_profiles.xml" in the package.
V1.0 is based on V20e and can be used up to V20e.
V2.x is based on V20l and can be used from V20i onwards.
Please find the modded camera apps attached to this post. Enjoy!
Installation Instructions:
Flash the attached zip with CWM ("install zip from sd-card" --> "choose zip from sd-card").
I modded the following (in every version of the mod):
Disabled shutter & AF sounds (picture & video) - timer sounds are still enabled (on purpose --> no change!)
Increased preview fps to 40 (--> reduced page tearing)
Picture quality:
Set normal picture quality to 80 (= 20% compression)
Set fine picture quality to 90 (= 10% compression)
Set superfine picture quality to 100 (= 0% compression)
Video quality 1080p:
Set FPS from 24 to 30 (varies a little, similar to stock LG app)
Set normal video quality from 5Mbps to 7Mbps (= fine in stock LG app)
Set fine video quality from 7Mbps to 12Mbps
Set superfine video quality from 9Mbps to 17Mbps
Video quality 720p:
Set normal video quality from 2Mbps to 4Mbps (= superfine in stock LG app)
Set fine video quality from 3Mbps to 9Mbps
Set superfine video quality from 4Mbps to 14Mbps
Additional changes in the V2.x (V20l) mod are the following:
Changed 5MP picture resolution to 6MP 16:9 (3264 x 1840) - Implemented additional preview setting logic; AR not correct yet! trying to fix it.
Increased video bit rate for VGA (improves esp. quality of videos recorded by the front cam):
- Superfine from 1.5 Mbps to 5 Mbps
- Fine from 1.2 Mbps to 3 Mbps
- Normal from 768 kbps to 1.5 Mbps
Persistent flash mode setting (i.e. last flash mode is being saved; default mode is off)
DCF compliance (adopted DCF requirements like directory- and filenames)
Storage path changed to "DCIM/CAMERA/" (DCF compliant)
Removed closing/ not starting on low battery (still shows a toast to remind you on your low charge though)
Shutter-sound menu adjusted/ fixed (only option now: "Off")
Several changes in German translations
Modded further resources
Additional changes in V2.1:
Increased video bit rate for 1080p:
- Superfine: 20Mbps
- Fine: 17Mbps
- Normal: 12Mbps
Increased audio bit rate to 128kbps for 1080p and 720p
Increased audio sampling rate to 44.1kHz for 1080p and 720p
Persistent focus mode setting (focus mode is being saved)
Persistent GPS setting (GPS mode is being saved)
Music keeps on playing (removed auto-pause music on app start)
Implemented ODEX fix for odexed roms (Camera.odex is being deleted automatically)
Fixed DCF compliance for video filenames (missing underscore)
ToDo:
Fix AR for 16:9 @ 6MP
Adjust preview size for 16:9 pictures
Optimize code for better performance
The rest is still stock.
PS:
1. If you have a darker icon for your camera app, then update script worked like it should!
2. If this is useful for you, hit the "Thanks" button on the lower right!
3. If you cook this mod in your rom, please give proper reference to this thread in the list of included features and in your change log!

yeaaaaaaaaaaah, thank you very much

Froyo compatible?

Installed it succesfully on 20e, but i can not see any difference in quality. Blown up the fotos taken before and after the mod, but no difference at all.
What should be the improvement, i ask myself.

Main differences are on video mode. Original LG couldn't take very high quality/bitrates video in high resolutions...
Very nice thing to have this plus stock features as panoramic images for example (not present in CM 7).
Great and fast job!!!

If you compare just few pics, you probably won't see a difference. But technically speaking there is quite a difference (jpeg compression i.e. picture quality was changed from 90 to 100 in superfine setting - if you're familiar with image editing of any sort, you know what I'm talking about). You can use fine/ normal quality to limit file sizes though.
Additionally picture quality is just one (small) part, video quality (incl. fps) and removed shutter & auto-focus sounds the other

Hi,
thanks for that mod!!
But i have a question. Is it possible to increase the fps for 720p for getting good slowmotions?
thx

@AndiCP
Is there a chance to add "touch to focus" in video recording ? or some autoF in camcorder?

I'll try that in the next few days, but I think it won't work due to limitation in the kernel (max fps=30, otherwise reverting to standard fps).

Let me see what I can do. Constant AF is not a target for me though, as the only effect would be AF-pumping (AF constantly analyzing the whole focus range to get the sharpest picture).

Possible future to do list:
-Option to pause video while recording, similar to Nokia N8 feature.
-Enhance tweak for Photo quality higher bitrate.
Is possible? Tks

And it could be very useful an option to take 16:9 pictures.
Nice work guys!

Further Development
Picture quality (in terms of compression) is maxed already.
Pause mode is not possible, because it is not implemented in the API (only start & stop are).
Same goes for a non-pumping AF during video recording (not supported by API).
But I have 16:9 format for pictures and a 60 FPS mode for 720p on my list
Let's see when I can find some time to play with it...I'll keep you updated.

question...will this mod work if i'm using a CM7 or should i use this with a stock rom ?

Great!!! Thx a lot!

Thanks! Working perfectly with the 20E version!

is it ok with v20c leak GB ? because i used Flair GB v3 rom atm..
update: tested already.. it's fine.. looks better for video as not lagging as before..

720p60 would be good, but 1080p24 would be very welcome too. And, I guess, easier to make

Thanks for this great Mod
The 16:9 will be amazing feature as it is a lot better to watch pics in 16:9 dipslay, which became a standard
The 720p at 60 fps will give some nice effects

improve camera

sony camara give picture with much compression, and its affect a quality and definition
i found a program camara, that can give a picture with a 100% quality a think
in play store "vignette"
BEFORE TAKE A PICTURE
IMPORTANT!!
configuration! vignette

Auto save = 2 seconds
and the pictures now are excelentys

Is it possible to do 1080p 60 on this sensor, even in low light? RR 5.8.x nougat rom, seems like as soon as light situation changes to a bit dark, the 60fps drops to 26 using camera2 api apps or stock camera

Come on bro... You cant expect more, for low light you need better sensor to capture the frames at 60fps... Do u think we have better camera sensor, as we al know low light pictures wasn't that great compared to day light one...

General HDR10+ in 4K too low bitrate

When selecting HDR10+ in 4K the resulting video only has 35MBit/s which is way too low for reasonable quality.
The sky is not rendered with a smooth gradient and the amount of details is very low.
If someone selects these type of video good quality is expected. To get this at least 80-120MBit/s are required.
