EDIT: [email protected] has been added to nightly and bitrate has been set to 12mbps which is not that bad. Its hence not recommended to flash these anymore. If you want higher bitrate look in the thread for those. I think it was pastime who made them. Alternatively use root explorer to manually edit /etc/mediaprofiles.XML. again, read pastimes and related posts in the thread on that.
This will replace the Camera.apk from CM7 with a more tegra2 friendly version that enables [email protected] recording. There's also included an updated media_profiles.xml file that'll enable different bitrates. Choose wisely . To test the bitrate I recommend having it running for at a minute to make sure everything can keep up. Usually it starts out smooth and then starts stuttering as the ram gets filled up. I also upped the quality for still.
Videos (I'll add experimental stuff as well, such as ultra high bitrates and auto focus):
http://www.youtube.com/user/O2XdevVids
I would stay away with 64mb ram hacks for the time being. Maybe we can find some middle ground in the future .
Anyway, please give me feedback on how it works. Some beautiful videos would be nice. Weather is really depressing here.
Please don't use this for non-tegra 2 devices.
Also, I'm experimenting a lot. Expect a lot to be buggy. I do my best not to put something out that doesn't work, but a couple of runs is really the extend of my testing before it goes up (to be honest). The autofocus-mod is seriously buggy. The bitrate-mod should be pretty much as buggy as the std. cm7 Camera app.
And, of course, thx to all the great ppl who works on cm.

Versions & Changelog & TODO
--------------Autofocus1.1----------------- (Note this is horribly buggy)
Just adds auto focus (and 25/30fps if you're on nightly), no change to bitrate. Flash this AFTER you do the bitrate mods. Flashing with any of the bitrate mods will replace the Camera app and you'll lose autofocus.

--------------------------------CHANGELOG----------------------------------------
1.0 Initial release.
---- Small bugfix of CM7s camera app + tegra 2 specific stuff.
1.1-pre-alpha
---- Enables autofocus prior to video capture. Cannot be turned off(I don't do UIs,lol). Need to restart app for each video.
Autofocus 1.1
---- No need to restart app.
Known issues:
Does no longer auto adjust for exposure while recording. In between recordings it will auto adjust again. (I have no idea why).
Cannot disable autofocus (have no idea how to do UI).
Rather buggy, lots of freezes. For best results, don't push it. Ie. don't start and stop recordings rapidly, stuff like that.
Don't switch quickly to video when opening app... I think that might be a cm7 issue.
---------------------------------------TODO----------------------------------------
Touch to focus.
continuous auto-focus.
FAQ
Q: Does this work for non-CM7 ROMS?
A: Probably not. Certainly not froyo. But feel free to try and let me know. On stock rom-based builds, please look at somemadcaaant's awesome work at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090785.
Q: T-Mobile LG G2x support?
A: Yes.
Q: What are the disadvantages?
A: Larger filesize. Takes longer to save (give it time to save before doing anything else with the phone). Potential issues with playback on phone.
Q: Does this work with 64 mb ram hack?
A: No. You can still use a high bitrate 720p mod for that kernel, though.
Q: It stutters after a few secs of recording or freezes once in a while, why is this?
A: Your phone/sdcard is having issues trying to keep up. Try a lower bitrate mod. If there is no lower, ask for one. I'm experimenting a little myself, trying to find a stable bitrate.
Q: If I open the Camera app and very quickly change to video I get a black screen?
A: Don't do that. I get the same bug on std. cm7 Camera app.
Q: Isn't it overkill with an FAQ for a camera mod?
A: Yes. But people kept asking the same questions last time I made a thread.
THX so much I will test it and report.
i would also add "touch to re-focus during video capture"(like in htc's) to the to-do list
Tegra 2 is some impressive hardware.... bitrate goes up crazy high. I'll add some different versions, but do people have any thoughts on what kind of bit rates they'd like to see?
Damn, I think maybe my sdcard cant keep up with the ultra high bit rates I'm testing. Starts stuttering after 10 sec. Maybe someone out there with a class 10 card?
When switching on video mode, i get a black screen and FC afterwards.

I purposely made my tweaks so code is first running when you actually start recording... If it's a new problem it's because of the settings file.

I reinstalled. Thereafter i was able to start it. But Recording doesn't work so far.It starts at 720P but when ending the recodring, I get a FC. 1080p keeps black screen and no FC and no recording. Maybe because of the 64MB RAM hack in the vorkKernal.
Thanks LeJay
But i have a bug.... The video is lagging(I think my Sd Card is Class 2), so i think it is because of the high bitrate. And sometimes after shooting a video the camera just freezes and i have to pull the battery..
LG O2x, Latest Kang, stock kernel.

Okay, so it officially doesn't work with the 64 mb ram hack. Not surprising. You can enable high bitrate 720p with some of my other mods.

Hmm... I just recorded for 1 min straight with no issue. I do get similar issues on som2e of the higher bitrates I've been toying with(40mbps can make most sd cards cry). Does it start lagging as soon as you start recording?
I'm going to make higher and lower bitrate versions.
Works beautifully on the G2x as well. Thanks

Works grat! 40 sec of video went from 18mb to 99mb. Now that we need a fast memory isn't better to use the internal memory?

Agreed.
LeJay, I also think that you should contact Ricardo (arcee) and see if he can merge you changes. He just changed from 1080 to 1088 the other day in the .xml file so we can record 1080p nativly. Kinda wierd that you have to set it to 1088?
The best thing would of course be if he could include all the different modes/profiles for us to freely choose:
"FPS: 15, 25, 30"
"Resolution: 1080p, 720p, ..."
"Bitrate: X, Y, Z"
"Sound: 44 Khz, ..."
etc... because I know my class 2 card can't keep up at the best options. Going to buy me a new one soon though.
Send him a message and see if he's interested. His todo list probably is long though....

I've tried recording videos with both "normal" and "high" frame rate options, it doesn't seem to do anything, any ideas why it's there?
The info button says it's the rate at which videos are captured, so would that indicate if it works you'd get slow motion video?
i've been wonderin about that option myself....and changin it really doesnt seem to do anything at all...
There is a pretty clear difference.
However, the X1i is the only phone that has the difference.
It's not completely noticable on the Xperia, but if you play the video on the computer,
there will be a noticable difference in the framerate. Give it a shot!
just open files on advanced player and press PROPERTIES
Frame Rate: > 10fps or 24 fps
the problem is that the framerate goes down when the brightness is low..then the camera gets laggy in recording mode...so there has to be a setting that we can change the minimum frame rate
please developers HELP

I have no idea if it works on 6.1 because I don't use 6.1. The settings I used are the ones that improved camera and video quality to me they seemed like they worked I hardly use my camera and video anyway , I don't think the OP would put it improves camera and video quality if didn't. I'm not a bout to upload videos that's way to much of my time and effort when this is not my problem. Go ahead and install the cab and find out for yourself .
does i have to be carefull with this tweak,which settings i should change there?

To start off if you are installing tweaks you always want to install them in the main phone memory unless the app says otherwise. I looked into what you were saying and made an interesting discovery the tweaks are not meant for the X1's camera. In the rom I'm using now I went to my multimedia folder and found separate camera and video software( most likely HD2 or rhodiums or HTC camera and video). I went into the software and found all the options the tweaks are supposed to unlock. The hidden video formats are H.263 and 4, 3GPP2, MPEG 4, and Motion JPEG. To my suprise the highest resolution is CIF(352x288). I tried all the video formats and all are very laggy the X1's video camera is way better. I only use BsB tweaks for the Power saving, Policies, SMS Wake Up, Gyph Cache and TCIP/IP Cache. The videos you posted look actually pretty good and the one where you were riding on the bike and past the man be pushed in a wagon made me laugh so hard
hehe these videos are just samples for good quality xperia x1 videos,i found on youtube. i dont made them. my quality is not that good i think. i installed the bsb tweak now on the main memory but really no changes (
highest resolution is CIF(352x288) i would like to see a video in that quality on xperia x1...is there any other good solution? at the moment i use vga,wide screen and endless focus
thx for help

Ya I seen a couple of your posts in different threads saying they are sample videos lol. Believe me when I say this it is very bad with CIF and it is not in fullscreen view mode, very laggy/ blurry when you move it's not even worth uploading a video to show it's that bad. Try macro focus instead of endless see if that improves anything. Also maybe overclocking your phone with more speed might give a better framerate also idk.

Your battery life is going to be the same regardless of the increase of mhz. Every Xperia is different so the results of how high you can push it is going to be different. Try 652 to start.
it doesnt influence the battery life?
Thats a pretty good tool...652,8mhz and its mainly faster but the frame rate in video recording seems to be the same or?
if you have some more usefull tools,let me know.

While there are loads of random comments about camera apps for Cyanogenmod 7 they are all pretty old and don't seem to amount to an answer.
The camera app provided with Insanity 009 whilst not as good an interface as, say the one from Simply Honey (which I flashed on a friends phone) but it works fine except for video.
Yes it does record 720p but there are chops when the detail moves to much and therefore necessitates a higher bitrate. I am guessing the codecs are responsible for this and its a big ask for a phone anyway... But has anyone knowledge of a better movie camera app?
Is it possible to take the app from one rom's distro and insert it into another radically different one like cm7 as long as they are from a similar base like jvh - that way I could try the camera from Simply Honey for example
Hi all,
I'm using Paul's great Gr1 (GB 2.3.4) from almost day one and even as my "daily driver" .
I tried the usual camera mods and found none of them working (just experienced boot loops).
So, I was longing for a respective camera mod - similar to somemadcaaant's mod but for GB/ Gr1. As no mod for Gr1 surfaced until now, I decided to rip apart the app by myself.
After some googling and a time intensive code analysis, I figured out how to accomplish what I was looking for (no shutter sounds, quality improvements).
I finally decided to share my mod with the community.
You can flash it with the update zip in CWM or just copy the apk to \system\app using a root file explorer.
NB: Unfortunately I was not able to make most of the Full-HD video mods work. After some testing I came to the conclusion, it must be some kernel bug because there are no hints in the logcat, that something is going wrong. And even the stock app behaves in the same way!
Maybe it's just happening to me, so provide some feedback/ hints here please!
I'm sharing it anyway, because maybe somebody finds it useful like it is.
Please find the resulting apk (plus update script) attached to this post. Enjoy!
Installation:
Flash the attached zip with CWM ("install zip from sd-card") or copy the apk to your \system\app folder manually.
I modded the following (please note the current restrictions!):
Disabled shutter & AF sounds (still & video) - timer sounds are still enabled (on purpose --> no change!)
Increased preview fps to 40 (--> reduced page tearing)
Changed default to show video after capture to false
Picture quality:
Set normal picture quality to 80
Set fine picture quality to 95
Set superfine picture quality to 100
1080p:
*Set FPS to 30
*Set normal video quality to 7Mbs (=fine in LG app)
*Set fine video quality to 12Mbs
*Set superfine video quality to 17Mbs
Set audio bitrate to 128Kbs
*not working due to buggy kernel (Gr1)? --> reverts to default 15fps & 9Mbs
720p:
Set normal video quality to 4Mbs (=superfine in LG app)
Set fine video quality to 9Mbs
Set superfine video quality to 14Mbs
Set audio bitrate to 128Kbs
PS:
1. Zoom is working now (no crash on Paul's Gr1) !!
2. If you have a darker icon for your camera app, then update script worked like it should!
3. Please be polite, as a) this is my first mod b) operation iron fist
4. If this is useful for you, hit the "Thanks" button on the lower right!
This mod is valid for stock roms?

Thanks for your efforts. Going to try this out.
Anyway you can make widescreen photos option available? Don't like 4:3 ratio.
how did you disable shutter sound ?
in cm, focus sound is played by camera app, so it is easy to reduce, while shutter sound is hard-coded in libcameraservice.so and you have to modify frameworks/base/services/camera/libcameraservice/CameraService.cpp (maybe Gr1 is different ?)
another question is that in cm, picture quality drops once you go to video recording mode and back to still image mode. do you also have this ?
Good work
i have a gr2 i will test your camera mod

It's sort of a hack. I disabled it by removing the middle layer.
To make it short: The app actually plays the sound, but the sounds won't be loaded in the first place There isn't even an error message in log cat about that though!
If you just remove the actual playing part, it simply plays the default sound instead (like you mentioned).
About pic quality...didn't notice that so far, will test it.

Update: can you post the zip file, because I can't overwrite the camera apk ...
Nice work, you read my mind...
I couldn't fix the 1080p issues either since the camera app looks to be unfinished, looks like its missing updated libs (libcamera.service.so|libnvmm_camera.so|libcamera_client.so) as I could restore some functions like 1080p higher compression via using the froyo code [cameraengine.java|modevideonormal.java] but it would screw other features, all LG seems to have done is started a quick and dirty port to GB.
Also looks like their trying to make a universal GB camera app for GB phones using the media_profiles.xml like the sgs2 and aosp frameworks have, this looks like where the 1080p issues reside as it will be looking to this file for fps and audio/video compression in the O2X Gb update.
Done well so far matey keep it up.

Good to hear, that its not just me having trouble with this
Actually I already thought that exactly these probs would keep you from posting a GB mod
Thanks for this valuable info! But I was almost sure this would be related to a buggy kernel, as I developed another cam app which is working great on Froyo but behaves on Gr1 exactly the same strange way as the LG cam app does in Gr1. I think the drivers are simply f*cked up for LG's GB port at this point of time. So let's wait and see what comes down the pipe...
PS: tried the media_profiles.xml as well (and included it into the update zip) - even b4 your post - but obviously no impact on said probs.

+1 here, would it work with CM7?
Does it actually removes the "mist" effect from the camera when taking pictures? stock v10d removes(without any fix), tho in CM7 it's still there.
Any chance of updating this work with the camera module from the latest leaked V20c ROM (eg. Flair GB) or V20f (Korean??)?
LG have fixed the video zoom problem and upped the frame rate for 1080p to 24fps in V20c.
But I am still really disappointed with LG's lack of progress with the still photo quality. The white haze problem is not so noticeable (color saturation still no where as good as the Nokia cameras) but the image is still very grainy and I suspect that is all we are going to get Could do with your tweaking magic
greetings, I wonder if you think some mod make the camera view has achieved stability with ginger roms version based on 20c?, a greeting
Modded V20e stock camera

does it work on latest v20l? can you see if with this new update, you can enhance 1080p again? you wrote it couldn't be enhanced due to kernel problems... probably with the final one, have been resolved?

Yesterday i tried to mess a bit with the camera so i decided to try the "[MOD][CAM] [email protected]@20mbps + auto-focus on CM7" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1094424)
I did installed with the recovery. but after that i get very low fps on my videos..i tried every single file with about the same outcome.. so i wanna know how i can bring the cm7 default camera.apk back?
currently my videos are at 9 frames/sec wich is really bad...
I am using CM7.1.0 stable my phone is the greek version of Optimus X2 (its the speed) P990
My SD card speed is class 4 and i am using the sd booster app for a better performance..not big difference tbh...so either i would like to know where i can find the original camera.apk for cm7 or what i can do to fix this.. thanks in advance!
EDIT: I dont have experience on modding..just started messing around with phone following various step by step guides..
I have managed to put the default camera.apk and media_profiles.xml from CM7.1.0
to my mobile. I noticed small difference a bit better i think lik 12fps...
I have to mention that the light in the room was average.. when I had more light the frames gone up to like 25-26 fps... (i did monitored it with fraps) i have to try to daylight now...
Btw is that a general issue for all in dark video takes or its something wrong with my phone and/or software?
Any suggestions?
I am quite sure it has something to do with cm7 camera app. Alot of people do complaint about the quality of cm7's camera app comparing to the stock LG camera app on stock roms.
It's not a fault of CM team, the camera library is closed source, so it is hard to understand how O2X camera works.
Since I use the camcorder, I had to leave CM7 waiting for a fix

A library system/lib/libcamera.so was changed in newer CM releases and it features auto compensation, that's the reason why video sucks in low light compared to stock.
You can use a libcamera.so from older CM nightlies/stable releases. But make sure that you also copy Camera.apk from that version.

oh i see.. I'll try that thank you!
hmm this is interesting.. i too am not so happy with the camera on CM7.2 temasek
there's no way to install the stock camera apk on CM roms?
what i dearly miss from that camera is the ability for faster timer shots (2s).. the fastest timer is 10s for CM7 =\
There are at least two very important things for me, and that would be an excellent improvement to the user experience of this phone.
The first is can use MiraVision. This is a great improvement to the image quality.
The software comes preinstalled !!! at least in the weekly version 5.11.26 and 5.12.3 ...
Now you can be activated, and it is magnificent !!! but the settings can not be saved.
When turning off the display, it returns to the default setting.
The second is be able to record video at normal speed, at least at 60FPS. Helio x10 can do that and much more, and the image sensor too, the software why not?
If we succeed in this, the phone would win many positive points.
Anyone wants help me?
Of course you can't save the settings, miui have a stock screen management

Well ... Now you can record video in HD at 60FPS (or more)
The solution is here
But we need help to make it work the "slow motion".
We need the name of the tag for this mode.
You know if it's possible to use clear motion in CM?
That feature is really amazing..

+1 can someone test that?
60 FPS camera
Simply MIUI lacks media_profiles.xml, that usually is included in every Android version in /system/etc
This file is read from multimedia apps in order to get phone's capabilities with camcorder.
If you insert that file in MIUI the stock camera app will read it and the camcorder fps drop will be bypassed. The camera will record at 60fps also in low light condition! Actually file works fine, in fact it will put the exposure at a low level in order to get best fps performance. But it isn't so optimized and the Spanish team is working on it. You can download the file from https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1jCoBYPR8eGbVVXZkM1V2VBdUk/view?usp=sharing
You have to set permission to 644 RW R R
Slow motion will not work for now. But it's great that at least we will have a perfect camera fps for now (720p 60fps and 1080p 46fps).
The question is, why if the hardware of our phone is so powerful Xiaomi made a rom that actually doesn't reflect this powerfulness??
For cyanogenmod we don't have anything right....?
Superb job!
