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.
Tried restarting the app?

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
@LeJay: you should contact arcee to include your mod in CM tree

Could you try the low bitrate mod?
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 am running CM7 7.0.3 atm and am wondering what is the best way to get 720p video recording at a decent fps i know it was possible with CM6 and that that hasn't yet been ported to CM7 so i assume i need to change roms but i'd rather not go back to something froyo based, i've become accustomed to the look'n'feel of gingerbread xD
But anyways, any feedback would be nice
You can try Gingerbread Sense (RCADS mixHD). AFAIK, that's the only GB ROM that supports 720p recording.
thanks for this tip off, however i dont think imma flash that just yet, for one because it would forever to back up/format/partition my sd card and cause sense is too bloaty ... i hope that soon it can be on an AOSP build... becasue even stock 480p fps is just atrocious.. and pretty much unusable
Anyone try this out? Does it work? If so, what rom are you running, and did you need to change anything?
Link here.
I'm at work but I'm really curious; Skype says it will work with *some* 2.2 devices, and if you have 2 cameras the wrong camera will work but we have only one camera so we might be in luck.
Fingers crossed...
Just installed it.. Will try it out!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I tried it briefly in Vegan tab 5.1.1.
-Everything aside from video calling seemed to operate well. This includes voice calls.
-The video call function was not available in the settings menu.
When I read through the skype announcement I noticed that it will only show video of rear facing camera's in froyo. Can the front facing camera be spoofed to work like a rear facing camera?

Yes, I think it can. I recall when trying to get Yahoo Messenger working for video calls, some genius developer modified the Yahoo app to add a "swap cameras" button. It worked, but the video was always transmitted and displayed sideways.
My fingers are crossed that it works out of the box, even if it's only in Froyo. This would get me to (sadly) downgrade from GtabComb.
Tested with ROMs:
- VEGAn-TAB 5.1.1 - No video option. Darn it.
- CM 7.0.3 (Stable) - No video option
- I wanted to try it on Clemsyn-Caulkin v5, but the keyboard was acting funky after loading that ROM. Pressing any numbers acted like I was pressing the BACK button. Weird. I might try it again later.
Skype has said that with 2-camera Froyo devices only the rear camera will work. We have only one camera, so here's hoping...
I'm under the impression that our front camera is actually the "rear" camera according to the system.
There is only an API for one camera by default, it wasn't until Gingerbread that they started differentiating between a front and rear camera. That's why older apps work with only certain front facing cameras- the developer had to figure out how to call the front camera on each device individually since it wasn't a standard system function.
This is why ReelPortal works on our tablets- Adobe Air (which the app was written in) recognizes only the rear camera currently, so most tablets can't be used for chatting with it. But on the G-tablet (and certain Archos tablets), there is only one camera and the system recognizes it as "the" camera.
I would assume that any app which uses the camera would see our front camera as the system camera (a.k.a rear camera). That has been my experience with market apps that use the camera, at least.
I think there is some other reason the video option is disabled. I just tried installing skype on an Optimus S as well (budget android phone with only a rear camera, also running froyo), and the option is not there either.
Skype says "Unfortunately, if you cannot see the video calling settings, it means your Android phone does not meet the minimum requirements needed to make Skype video calls". That's ridiculous. It looks like someone needs to rip open the app and find out where that restriction is.
This is beyond my realm of hacking ability. Anyone with skills willing to look at this?
Hey I found these posts while digging through a few different threads and thought i would leave it here for other G-Tab users who are following this thread. Thanks Dishe for asking all the questions in the other forums. Unfortunately it's not looking so hot for skype video calling on the G-Tab at this point. I will keep watching patiently hoping that someday it will work.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16338146&postcount=1061
Yes- just to update everyone, here's what I found out.
Skype chose to use something called the NEON instruction set for hardware-based acceleration of video encoding / decoding. Problem is, not every mobile processor supports this instruction set (usually lower end hardware, like my LG Optimus). The Tegra 2 does not support NEON at all, and that is why our tablets don't offer the video option, and the ones that are hacked to work (by skipping the device check) will just crash after trying to sign in.
So, it is currently not possible for Skype to work on the G-tablet as long as they are pushing NEON acceleration.
This is the first time I've ever been upset to have a Tegra. All this time I actually wanted the G-tab BECAUSE of the high end Tegra2 for such an inexpensive tablet.
Why Nvidia left out support for this (while other CPUs include it) is beyond me, but on the plus side there is hope for the future. The Tegra2 is used in a lot of high end tablets these days, including the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, Acer Iconia, Moto Xoom, etc... Right now Skype won't work on any of them, and I'm sure the company does not intend to alienate such a large portion of tablet customers. When they get supported, so will we.
Meanwhile, someone posted in one of the other threads about a CES demo this past year in which NVIDIA and Skype showed off HD video calling hardware using what they call "Skypekit" framework to build an app on a Tegra-based demo tablet.
So, stuff is coming folks. We just have to wait it out I guess, as there is nothing that can be done now.
I wonder if Skype does a hardware test or just a device check; maybe we can set the device ID or use some other trick to fool the software into thinking our gTabs are worthy.

Read the post right about yours. It will crash because the Tegra CPU does not have the instruction set it needs. I've tried it.
Thanks for the info everyone. I was hoping to surprise the girlfriend abroad with a hacked apk to get skype to work, but I guess ooVoo will have to do for now.
Oovoo messes up my sound everytime. I've had good results with reelportal tho.
I have droid charge, I use skype everyday and it is so annoying to flip the phone to see the other person. Tegra chip wise everything is clear but how about the droid charge? Can any dev find workaround for this nonsense? I am willing to support that dev and donate some beer money.
This discussion is about the G-tab.

If you have architecture capable of NEON, one of those versions should let the software access the front camera.

So..if we are on 2.3 and have this device...are they saying it will work then? Getting my Tab in 2 days. It already has 2.3 on it.
New version of skype (v2) supports videocalling in tegra devices such as Asus Transformee or Xoom.
I'll test as soon as I get home if it works for the Gtablet.

Still no video call support
I just tested the new version of skype (version 2.5.0.108 downloaded from market) on my Gtab running Brilliant Corners 1.3.1 and there was still no video call option. I will keep playing with it and see if I missed anything obvious.

You have to activate the videocall options on settings first.
I tested it on honeycomb flashback rom but as the camera doesn't work on our honeycomb roms yer the test was useful, lol.
Please check on settings that videocalls are enabled and test back on your brilliant corner roms.
However it would be nice if someone using a gingerbread rom can test it

Thanks. I missed that and didn't change the settings.
When I changed the settings to accept video calls it worked. It was very buggy tho. The video came in clear, but it was rotated sideways (flipping the gtab on its side wasn't enough to fix the problem). The video I received also covered all the buttons for ending the call/muting the microphone etc. This made it difficult to end the call without guessing where the button would be underneath the incoming video. Also, when I exited the skype app while in a video call, the application closed but the video stayed on top. This made it impossible to do anything else while having a video chat going on in the background.
Overall this is a huge step forward. Video calls with audio are now working. I can't give extensive reviews on video quality, as I was only calling myself from my laptop to my gtablet and didn't spend much more time than was needed to see if it worked.
Some work will definately be needed to iron out some of the bugs before this becomes perfectly useable. For now I am happy with the progress that has been made and will wait patiently for someone smarter than me to work out the bugs.
Gtab running Brilliant Corners 1.3.1
---------- Post added at 11:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:42 AM ----------
After playing with skype for a little while longer, I noticed that skype is placing the video from the Gtab over the video from skype.
Let me try explain.
In a normal skype call, you have the large video from the person you are talking too taking up most of the screen. In one of the corners you have a video of yourself that is being sent to the other person. This video is rotated sideways when I hold the Gtab in landscape mode with the camera on top.
When I use the skype for android app on my Gtablet (brilliant corners 1.3.1), I get a third video laid overtop of the other two videos. The video is the same as the small one of myself in the bottom corner of the video chat, but with the correct orientation. I know that the other two video's exist (outgoing and incoming that normally exist in skype) because there is some space beside the 3rd video.
If that was confusing, let me try explain a different way: It's as if the video camera application is running over top of skype whenever I am in a video call. The 'video camera app' is persistantly on top whenever I am in a video call. It will even stay on top when I close the skype application during a video call.
I failed to notice this during my initial testing, as I had the gtab and laptop pointing at me, and failed to differentiate which video feed I was seeing.
I think the app would be perfect if the following were fixed.
-Outgoing video rotation is fixed.
-video being captured on gtab was not over top of the video's skype is recognizing.
Has anyone on different ROM's experienced these problems? I don't feel like going through the hassle of changing ROM's to test.
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

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.

Thanks man! really appreciate it!
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.

Dude this is great that your working on this for GB for the O2X. I have a thread in the G2X forums working on the same thing. Question how did you fix the zoom crash, I also use apktool , so let me know thanks.
Is this working for CM7 or people having some problems ?

+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
Hi all,
I went on and successfully modded the stock camera app of V20e.
In contrast to Gr1, everything I modded is working well in V20e now.
Please go ahead and dl my latest mod here.
Enjoy!

Installed the mod successfully.
Enhanced fotos before and after the mod, but no vissable difference between them.
What should be improved with this mod, except the missing shutter sound?

You said that before on the corresponding thread.
Read my answer there.
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?
thanks
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 =\
