720p on Motorola Droid?

So I see all those lucky nexus 1 owners have a 720p video hack on their hands. Does anyone know if this is at all possible with a Motorola Droid? I know limitations are placed on devices and that a loophole was exploited on the nexus 1.....but has anyone looked into this on the MOTO Droid? That would be awesome if it was at all possible, but I won't hold my breath on this one. Wishful thinking though.

Don't know the cameras limitations. I'd settle for decent low-light response tho. Resolution is good enough for me.

Ditto. I'd be interested.

That Will be great but I dont think sensor is capable of 720p.codec support is there as shown by newly released motorola mile stone xt.

Why wouldnt HTC allow the nexus to record in 720p in the first place if it was possible? There must have been something wrong with allowing the 720p and there may be a negative effect attributed to it.

They noticed that market sales wouldn't be increased with it, people would already buy the N1, no matter HD or not. So I think they decided to disable the function so they could make some fancy ads emphasizing this new feature on a newer device.

Htc Don't have it at 720p because the higher the res the lower the fps (frames per seconds) and at 720p the nexus is only 20fps

i asked in the nexus thread the hack developer and he told me that its possible on droid / milestone hardware wise. but he dont have a droid for testing thats the problem.

Already been done!

I had this working on my milestone before 2.1 but I am sure the same process applies.
essentially you are chaging your build.prop to allow for 720x480 res.
Seemed to work when I tried it. But really, the standard res is good enough for me.

@sabaramo, How did you get 720p working on your milestone? Is there a guide or step by step process available anywhere?

He didnt. The droid supports that resolution natively. 720p is 1280x720.

720p is 1280x720...not 720x480, that is 480p. the 1st number is the pixel width, the 2nd is the pixel height of the frame. I would assume a more friendly 16x9 resolution in the 960x540 range would be a good compromise...but if the sensor can handle a full 1280x720, more power to it.....
but why not 854x480? the pixel size of the actual screen? I'm running some ripped DVDs at that aspect and they look brilliant...

see, 720p IS 1280x720....i don't lie, lol.
sorry didn't see your post before i sent this....

You have full resolution on your Droid/Milestone?
How did you go about doing it? I would love to be able to get mine like that.
I'm totally new to Android Modding and Deving. From what I've read though, I wanna Root my Droid, and get that ROM with the Sense UI that's on the first page of this forum. And now I want full resolution on it, too

I would like to get this functionality as well, will the OTA update for froyo mess the bootloader up so that rooting is not possible on a phone that is not rooted?

Dunno, but there are several releases of both FRG01B and FRG22 out there with root. Why wait for OTA?

720p recording

Hi,
i read with Froyo it is possible to record with 720p.
I tried but the highest i can choose from is "High (30 min)" which results in 720x480 which is not 1280x720
Is it true that i can record 720p with the Nexus One and Froyo.
If so, how do i?
Best

You read wrong.
It was possible to record 720p before Froyo came, with CM5.0.8.
Froyo broke the codec support, and charansingh_online is rebuilding it again. It'll probably take some time.

cm = cyagen mod?
means you have to root your phone (loose your warranty) to have 720p?

Yes and yes.

Actually it's yes and no, since you don't have to unlock the bootloader to be able to run custom roms now.

Its kinda over rated bro. It looks halfway decent but a little choppy.

Its like all N1 recordings, if you move to much the quality sucks.
But i think its okay, rated by videos on youtube.

Go to the Nexus One Developer's Forum, it's one of the stickies.

I think, hope, want to believe that 720P will be fixed for CM6-Final. I know @cyanogen and @charansingh have been working on it lately.

Build with 720P camcorder

The answer is no, but even though they mention 720p in other roms that doesn't really exist.
The 720p on my Nexus One on CM doesn't really records very well.

Not working on the HD2..

Makes my HD2 to freeze..

the quality of the camera makes it not possible

Ummmmm no, its been done on WP7 for the HD2.

720p or not, HTC cameras - yes even the Desire HD - suck to the point of making me want to cry.
I'd prefer if ROM chefs took the option of 720p (along with 'switching camera' from the menu altogether, to prevent force closes and slowdown. The fact that the HD2 doesn't record 720p somehow just reminds me of how My old 3Gs does video better than a 720p camera on ANY HTC ever could....shameful.
Luckily I love the HD2 because of it's lovely build, screen and openness.
And the camera flash makes an excellent torch.

Sorry for the offtopic, but imo, htc hd2 camera is excelent for me.. On summer seaside,or winter skiing i make good pictures with my hd2.. And there is nearly no dofference between Hd2 camera and DHD camera.. Ive compared it.. 3 mpx more is just marketing trick.. Objcetive and senzor size is pretty much same,and i dont see diffrence in pictures.. To recap,i really like my HD2 camera..
And for the theme, i hope that devs will develop rom with 720p recording..

Is tegra 2 a complete disappointment?

Hello,
when I bought this lg I thought that despite the bad LG support I was getting nice hardware anyway...problem is that the more I read/use it the more I realize that not even Nvidia is blameless.
They call this super-phones but:
- Nvidia doesn't release the source code and developers cannot take advantage of its full potential
- They didn't include the NEON instructions, on which Skype is based. The tegra 2 will probably never have video calls, they'll skip directly to tegra 3 for sure. I tried google talk, for what I've seen skype is smoother. Am I wrong?
- They claim 1080p video decoding. OK, problem is that I wasn't able to play ANY video with hardware acceleration, not even some youtube videos that use h.264 main profile.
I wonder why Samsung would use this chipset so limited in the galaxy R.
And I think that when it will be "time" for it be mature tegra 3 will come out and everyone will stop supporting it.
(is it possible to use Samsung galaxy R code to implement to the LG in some way? Since they share the same hardware...)

Tegra 2 is excellent, LG just ducked it up.
That's all there is to say

yes, i agree with you, tablets usually use tegra2. so nvidia is not disappointing anyone or anyvendor

The major advantage of Tegra 2 is time to market -- it was available a good quarter or two before other dual core SoCs.
And that's about it. NV seems to have rushed it out of the door and failed to follow up with a higher clocked version, nor offering any developer support. They're only interested in selling as many Honeycomb tablets as possible, and even then, they've failed to put any dent on iPad2 sales.

Not having NEON and refusing to open up sources is a huge letdown for sure. And it is the only dualcore not able to change clocks individually between two cores, which doesn't help battery life. On idle it would help just to not use the second core, which tegra2 doesn't allow for.
Lets hope the Nexus Prime will be the killer device with 1.5ghz dualcore and the nice 1280x720 screen, and since it is a Nexus, devsupport. I will take it on day one it will be released

Tegra 2 does indeed disable the second core when it isn't needed.

words... what happened to this? abandoned I suppose.

The only hope for skype video calling optimus 2x has is from galaxy r.
Just because its a samsung i bet skype will back it up.

I also try to play 720p youtube videos and it doesn't play smooth

The screen size is only what corresponds to 480p, so showing anything bigger than that would be a waste of processing power, and power in general

Hi guys! Considering 720/1080p youtube playback, does it work correctly when the phone is connected to a tv via hdmi? Also, is there a difference in flash performance between stock rom and cm7? Thank you!

hdmi mirroring?

Trying to watch HD clips on the phone is stupid: the phone has not only to decode an HD stream, it has also to resize it!
Try watching an HD clip on the TV *without* mirroring (without the phone screen showing the same content), it should be much better.

i'm not interested if is a loss of power or not i'm only interested when i download something random from the net that i can see it (porn in hd is bether lol jocking)

i have the lg optimux and it works very well, esp on the cm7 nightly.

That's like saying that your Panda Van should go easily up that hill with a ton of cargo because it just should. It's a ->Panda<- not a truck.
The same for the phone: if you load an HD flic on the screen the phone has to decode the stream and rescale it to fit on its smaller screen.
In essence it's almost like decoding TWO HD streams at the same time...
Now I'm sure the phone wasn't advertised as capable of decoding two streams?

SloMo

I have the nexus 6 5 months now and there is still nothing from google or any dev about slow motion video capture. Its a pitty that our device is capable of it but we cant use it, i was reading in a post a commend of a dev that said it takes time for a dev to make an camera app with slomo for our device and if aome one would try to make one he didnt want to give it for free. Well im really willing to donate for something like that, no offense to the forum or devs but i really want an app that captures 120 or 240 fps slomo. Im sure there are more out there like me who would donate for something like this. Or maybe is there any rom with an other camera that has that capability?

Lcamera supports it for the N5 but since the dev doesn't have a N6 he can't do anything. In theory it should work but he can't test it. I too miss it from my DROID days.

There are other apps too but the one I have only does 30fps

Gallus.

Currently 30fps is the max N6 can do. Lcamera crops the sensor into 4th so in theory we could do 120fps @ 1080p

however there is no app that is giving us this future. I am checking some camera comparisons on yourube and I see that our nexus 6 has a super camera (spec wise) but the app is keeping it behind. I really would be happy to port a camera on it which could give me some of those futures....

I'm currently setting up my build env to see if I can get Lcamera's mod working on the N6.

Very cool to hear - I've been checking in on the lcamera github to see if someone picked it up for the N6! Saw your name in there too.. :good:
I wish you good luck, please let us know if you need someone to test out lib or apks

Its really disappointing for me that the google camera doesnt have slomo or cant capture 1080p 60fps... its one of the best phones out there...
