Hey guys. Recently I rooted my Nexus One running on FRF91 using the 1-click root application. After that I managed to install CM6 RC2 using Rom Manager using the backup rom & wipe option. Now as far as I know 720p recording is built-in in CM 6 RC2 but when I go to Camera recording it did not give me a 720p option. I could see that the last option was Custom.
After this RC3 was launched and so I moved on to RC3 using Rom Manager again using backup rom & wipe option. After doing this I went straight to the camera video option and again I can see options High, Low, MMS, Youtube and custom. I still cannot see 720p. Can anyone guide me towards this option?
Also off-topic can someone guide me to a Desire-like theme which I can use on CM6 RC3? Also I came across Nextheme. Is this compatible with CM 6 RC3?
Thanks in advance folks.
Go into the camcorder tap the top icon for the settings. Scroll down to set the Video Encoder to MPEG4, then under settings icon scroll to the video quality and set it to 720p. You can also change the duration of the video here. I don't remember the default but I think it was pretty short.
Hey there. Thanks for responding so fast. When I go into the camera and select video recording, the top-most option is color effect. I cannot see settings. By camcorder you do mean Camera with knob towards video, is that right?
dude click the symbol that looks like a gear. then scroll until you find a 720p option.
@Jack Everyman & @ hiddengopher. Thank you guys I could finally see the required options Video quality was already selected as 720p and video encoder was already at mpeg4 & video duration is at 30 mins. So I guess the video quality option which is at the bottom of the 4 options should be set to High (30m). Is that right?

High has been changed to 720p, yes.
Videos aren't playing for me on RC3, not even through RockPlayer. Hmmm

I guess you mean the High (30m) option is for 720p recording. Anyway I am glad that this has been sorted out. Now can anyone guide me to a CM 6 RC3 compatible desire-like theme? Also I want to ensure that the trackball alert software works with such a theme. Thank you guys once again.
I've added some extra advanced settings for video recording. I'll add more as I have time.
It's experimental and might be buggy. I promise to try a little harder to have a stable version than I did last time I made a mod like this.
Source code:https://github.com/LeJay/Camera
Sorry, the source code is a bit of a mess . It's a fork of the CM7 nightly and is up to date.
apk and the correct zip is up.
Simply download the zip and flash it. It will replace the camera app in cm7. Whenever you update to the next nightly you'll have to re-flash.
Versions
-----Version 1.0 (current)-------
Features:
Video stabilization
Video manual focus (NOT continuously, sorry)
Video autofocus (NOT continuously, sorry)
Video touch to focus (NOT continuously, sorry)
Things that for strange reasons don't work:
Auto Exposure compensation doesnt work together with autofocus or touch to focus. I'm looking into it. It does work with manual focus, though.
------------------
FAQ:
Q: Sometimes video recording doesnt start when using auto focus.
A: If auto focus fails recording will not start. I might do something else in the future, but this is the setting for now.
TODO:
1)
Work around disabling of exposure. Eg. read focus level from logcat after auto focus and use manual focus instead.
2)Other camera settings:
Image stabilization, manual exposure compensation, timestamps (?), change contrast
Thanks for the hard work
Is it CM7 only?

Yea, sorry, forgot to mention that .
@lejay, great work. i expect to see a new commit with this soon ?
touch to focus in video mode is much desired, i believe.
can you also take a look at http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,6628 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15955411&postcount=6954 ?

Oh, yeah, I removed the code that checks if the preview is 720p. Zoom works fine, both volume and display menu.
EDIT: Actually, zoom behaves a little oddly, it jumps to 8x with double tap. Did I do that? wtf.
I feel auto exposure should get fixed before I sent it to nightly. Also, I get a headache figuring out how to correctly submit these things .
wow, thanks for the your tweak, really hope we can get continuous focus

no, i don't think you did it.
i never knew about the double tap zoom until yesterday, and it jumps between 1x and 8x (in cm). i don't think there is any code for this in app though. could it be libnvmm_camera.so ?
edit: do you get zoom working while recording at High (720p) ? (not changing it, but set it at 4x and start shooting, mine reverts to 1x)

Its in videocamera if I remember correctly,. Zoomgesture something.
Right now zoom is working, but it has been buggy. Does it work if you zoom again and try recording?

Heh, yeah, it is... Im doing a bit of refactoring, hopefully a cleanup and a bit of debugging will help.
When to update to the new version?
I really like the version that can make a focus in recording
waiting for updating!!~~~
Any news?
I was looking through some of the props, and stuff, is there a spot to change video recording length more than 25 mins in HD?
Longer videos please

This is something I could really use too....if anyone has any suggestions, I'd be grateful !
talked with customer support, they are unsure why it records 25 mins. guess its time to dig into code and see what else there is. I did notice that with a different launcher installed, and set as default, the next day when i turn it on, it goes to stock launcher. must be something hard set after a cold boot to pick a defined set of defaults..

Thnask Jason
not a lot has been done in my off time besides work, did play around with more numbers in the sys folder, and a few in the camera apk itself, still always seems to go back to default after a sit overnight.
has anyone tried system/etc and then media_profiles.xml then changing the values and encoder profile quality.. duration then change it from 30 to whatever..
Its just the buffer size!

Ok,
just been on holiday with this camera and used it in battle so to speak.
What I found regarding the 25 mins time limit is that it is just refering to the amount of video it can deal with in one chunk before it has to process it and store it to the card.
If you tap on the stop button rather than just the pause button, the camera then tells to it is processing and storing to the card then, after a brief wait you can once again tapp the video button and you are good to go for another 25 mins.
The only limit I can see is the size of the storage card.
I hope this makes sense and answers your question.
Thank you so much for your kind reply ,
is there anyway any app can do none stop part auto to record like auto split kind of thing do you think ?
Thnx

Got to admit I hadn't thought about that.
Looks like I might have to do some research with that idea in mind.
There must be an app of some kind that could automate the process, hopefully someone out there will have some ideas too.

Sorry that I can't offer a solution (yet) but I am in the process of writing a video recording app, and I have recorded continuously for over an hour, so it isn't a hardware limitation.

Oh man! I would love to see this app and would gladly pay you for it! Do you need any beta testers because I would be totally game for that. I have noticed that the JB+ camera does not put a time limit on recording but I have no way to use the zoom and focus while doing so.
I just got the camera today in sort of a compromise. My wife needed a video recorder but I wanted a good camera for other things but mostly photographing student art work. I was looking at the QX10 and immediately saw the 2 GB recording limit and decided against it. I open up the camcorder today and see a 25 minute limit! AHHHHH!!!!! Anyway, I have unlimited recording but shoddy control using the JB+ camera.
I bought the Galaxy Camera for 328 and am really enjoying it so far, by the way! Great little piece of machinery.

Not really even at a beta stage yet - I am working on it, got the zoom goiing but haven't got the autofocus hooked up properly yet. The JB+ app may be the best hope as of now, but I'll keep you posted.

Glad to see you are still working on it. I wish I can help but programming is not my forte. I found another app that sort of works (not focus) as far as using the controls but recording doesn't finish right so it is broken. The app is Zoom Camera by Moulasoft.
If you need any graphics for the program let me know. That is one area that I can help with.
Hi everyone,
I've contacted Huawei a few times, but haven't got an answer.
Does anyone know why the P9 does not support exporting or sharing slowmotion videos? I can only share it on google+, if I do it on instagram, facebook or simply copy and play it on my pc, it plays in regular speed, now slowed down?
What's the point of this function then? Samsung S6 can record the same and simply exports it.
I had a problem were my slow motion videos would only play at normal speed in google photos, I changed the upload setting from high quality to standard alls ok now

play your recorderd slow mo video and tap the screen while paying, you will get a bar where you can set the time where slow mo begins and where it ends, and you have a save button. The newly saved copie will play slowmo on the desired sport rather than the whole film(if you select from begining to the end, it will be the whole film) however I miss the 2x 4x 8x function that I read about

Thanks for the tips! I can see the bar and adjust it, but I can't find the save button anywhere
I now have the problem, that the slowmo correctly plays on the phone, but when I upload to facebook, the slowmo is gone and the video runs at normal speed. Anyone has an idea how to get the slow video to facebook?
Change to where the slowmotion should be on the video and then save the file. When shared it will play as on the phone.
How do I save the file. I change the beginning and end of the slo mo and then share it to Instagram and Instagram previews in normal speed.
Yes I know that I'm digging up in an old topic, but I find it better to get a proper answer once for all rather than asking the same question several times.
save the video

I was having the same "issue". Once you edit the video to show the slowmotion part that you want on the upper right part you will see 3 dots, if you hit them you will get an option to save the video. This Option only shows when the video is playing or on pause.
In Google Photos it's easy and possibly!
Instead of opening it from the gallery I opened it from Google photos, from there I shared it to WhatsApp and others with the effect of slow motion at last

after adjusting ..tap on the three dot at the top right corner of the screen there you will see the option to save slow-mo file and voila

Download Adobe Premiere Clip from the play store and import your slow motion video in to there. Then you can export it as a new file with slow motion intact.

You have to save the slow mo file and export that and it will upload it in slow mo. I do it on IG all the time.

I actually was having the exact same problem, but then i discovered that you simply open your gallery, open your slow-mo video..
Now this is the tricky part :
When you play the video, in the top right corner you'll get the 3 dots option button,click on it and you'll get option to control brightness, audio and there will be an option to save the slow-mo video and share it will play as slow-mo everywhere.
Nite that the 3 dot option button only appears when the video is playing.
Is there a way to make video fit to screen with no black bars on each side when on full screen or landscape mode. My phone is currently rooted as well. Thanks

You may want to reword the thread as a question. It seems more like a statement that you have already figured this out. Just a thought.
I don't know if this works as i don't have recieved the phone yet, but try to copy the youtube link and paste it here.
stretch.site
It has sliders that let you chose your own aspect ratio. Maybe you can reach fullscreen in that way?
i think the only way you can do it is to root, install xposed, and make changes with per app settings. that should work i think
I currently download the youtube video with TubeMate, then open the clip with MX Player Pro or KMPlayer. In MX Player Pro it's possible to enable pintch to zoom, so you can over-zoom until there are no black bars visible. KMPlayer allows to zoom in a bit, which for some youtube videos is sufficient to remove all black bars, but not for the youtube videos that have black bars encoded in the video already.
Anyone successfully changed the Youtube DPI with an xposed DPI changer, to allow overzoom?
Because the aspect ratio is different, it won't happen natively. Like the other poster suggested, you need to zoom in the screen to chop off the top/bottom of the video.
just bumping this thread. Has anyone come up with a solution for per app? would love to be able to pinch-zoom native in the app.
Some apps like Netflix scale pretty damn well, most shows will take full advantage of the screen and movies will zoom to fit the width (leaving very narrow black bars), whereas youtube and iplayer leave these little black edges left and right... is a shame.
I just tried the latest guardians of the galaxy trailer and it played in full screen, i was trying to so what size that video is. Maybe new videos on YouTube are going to start being played in different ratios since the new up coming phones are 18.9
You can do it without root on every video on Youtube !
Just activate the "Magnification gesture" setting and then triple tap whenever you want to "zoom in" a Youtube video,it will still crop a little part of the video to make it full screen if the ratio is not the same though.
