[MOD] High bitrate video recording + [email protected](cm7)

Some ppl. were asking for a high bitrate mod. This only works for the CM7 roms.
Does not work for stock rom as bitrate is hardcoded into the LG camera app. (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090785 for somemadcaaant's awesome work on that)
Choose the 720p only mod if you are running a kernel with the 64mb ram hack (it doesn't support 1080p). The 720p only will of course also work for the std. cm7 kernel.
Bitrate(orig)-signed.zip will bring you back to the settings that's on the cm7 nightly repo.
Reinstall the vork kernel if you want to go back to orig settings for 64mb hack.
I've added two pictures to compare 7 mbit/s vs 20 mbit/s (720p). I think esp. the trees look better. Is it worth the extra space? Dunno.
I leave all the different versions here, so ppl can choose whatever they want. Of course, the higher the bitrate the harder everything is being pushed, so your results may vary (esp. depending on sdcard speed). Phone playback may also be an issue. It's impossible to break anything permanently, so just install back to original settings if you run into issues.
For the different mods, the settings are

This is good news and very welcomed
However, simple question: Why the limit @ 15fps over 1080p? Hardware limitation of the Tegra 2 chipset (highly doubt it) or what?

Wow awesome!
This is what we need, higher bit rate in camera and video, as above how come 1080p is capped at 15fps? shouldnt it be 24fps?
Lets start modding the camera hardcore to get the best quality!

Whatever setting I use for the framerate on 1080p, it either crashes or falls back to 15fps. Of course we do know it can do 25fps on stock rom so it has to be cm7 related (kernel drivers or whatever). That's at 9mbit/s on stock, though.
12 mbit/s is, btw, also the highest bitrate i could get for 1080p.
EDIT: Oh, btw. it might not be a good idea to use this together with the 64mb extra ram hack.

I only get black screen when flashing this.

Oh, that's on 64mb ram hack kernel. That doesn't support 1080p. I'll make one without, should help.

Did you do this by changing media_profiles.xml ? I tried that, didn't work..
but nice work

Its a limitation on cm7. Stock rom can do 1080p @ 24fps

Yea, all the mod does is replace the media_profiles.xml file. You can just extract the zip to see what's different. You have to play around with the settings a little bit. If you do something wrong it's very likely it'll get stuck at boot. Use adb or cwm to restore media_profiles.xml to orig.
The resolution for 1080p has to be 1920x1088 to work. Std. cm7 sets it to 1920x1080 and therefore only records in 720p.

I'd think so, but don't expect to see that mod from me. I don't think it's that trivial .
EDIT: That's my personal, fairly uninformed, guess.

mmmm i read on the other camera mod thread, that changing media profiles, doesn't affect recording, cause lg camera app bypasses media profiles... is that possible? they area trying to decompile the app

Can you ported lg camera app to cm mod ?

Great job LeJay!
I've flashed away from CM7 atm, runniong an MCR ROM instead. Will certainly test this once I'm back to CM7. I hope the dev of CM7 for O2X can by pass all limitations and truly unlock the power of this device.
Media capabilities (Korea ROM 10S got MKV, 4.1 profile support), [email protected] (AT LEAST!) etc... Only time will tell if they're able to.

Would love to have LG camera on cm7. Is this possible?

I was trying to change the settings inside the JAVA files of the LG Camera app, which are in HEX format for me.
I recalculated all the values in DEC, doubled them and reconverted them to HEX but didn't seem to work.
My highest recording was 10500 which I'm sure is just random from 9000 to 10500 with the normal settings.
if you do a text search for bitrate in the decompiled LG Camera app it is located in 5-6 locations.
Only 2 locations are needed.
First location is where the values are stored in private static fields
And the second location is the script is accessing the values and doing some operations with it.
Too bad it's low level coded
Looks like the CM7 camera app is easier to modify, because the LG one is insanely hardcoded

[MOD][HELP]Recording in 640x480.

I'm trying to modify the resolution video recording in which stock S5830i is 320x240.
It seems that could change the parameters of maximum resolution to 640x480, and could use, but only on a webcam app, in it the selection of resolution to be used.
The camera does not have a native setting of 640x480, so who can give a solution or know of an application that can replace the camera app for recording and has the ability to select the resolution, please, will help.
Thank you.
(sorry my english)

I'm pretty certain the problem is due to hardware limitations, and not related to the software.
You could get a new phone.

Yep. It is the hardware limitations.
You can try to force it to record in 480p just like they did in the Galaxy Mini forums I guess.
Try lgcamera and see if recording in 480p works.

Guys, I'm trying a procedure in which a friend here at XDA made ​​to enable 720p camera in front for the Galaxy Tab
And VideoCore 4 (BCM2763) is capable of recording in full HD. BCM2763
Apparently I managed to gain some quality and would like to share, I begin to compare.
Thanks system.img at lgcamera.
Check below, the two comparative videos

Yes, the GPU is capable for recording 1080p, it has to encode the camera data, so why can't we mod it?

Wait firmware update ... same was on S5830 and firmware updates solve this "problem".
Cheers

I'm recording at 480p smoothly.
As the guys have not replied to the topic, here I will post instructions on how to make change for those interested.
The file that should be changed is the media_profiles that is in / etc. I'll post here the file has changed.
Procedure (root is required):
1 - Download the file and put the sd card - File in my dropbox
2 - With full access to the root, move and replace the file to the / etc
3 - Restart the phone
4 - Install Lgcamera (PlayStore)
5 - In Lgcamera select resolution 640x480
Ready. Just write!
Thanks!

if we get GPU drivers from Broadcom then we can record 1080p HD videos ???

Guys Broadcom Will be releasing a CM7.2 with full CPU and GPU Source if everything goes okay.
If everything goes okay, im pretty sure we will be able to record in 720p or maybe even 1080p which i personally think would not be possible with 5MP camera.

I do not know, but I will try.
; D

I went and tested this a bit...
Any resolution above 640x480 - glitched camera, but you can still see shapes and motion moving and stuff like that so I don't know it it's the firmware;
Camera fully crashes when trying 720p or higher
Only works on H.264 encode, anything else it will crash
Seems to be very good at handling bitrate, as expected, because of the GPU, I tested up to 5Mbit but i'm sure it can handle more, gets a bit jittery though. 2Mbit looks like 'enough' for this resolution
(320p/20fps/?1mbit are factory defaults)
480p/20fps/5mbit seems to be the best option
edit: Must use ARM_NB audio encoder and record in 20fps or it will be out of sync

The videocard (VideoCore IV) can handle 1080p at 1.5GPixel/Sec.
Does this mean the camera could also handle this?

[Q] [i9001] Smooth and Working HD Recording

Hello ,
I have tried several Roms and Kernels but no luck soo...
I need some good JB Rom combination where HD Recording WORKS SMOOTHLY.
On other ROMs , HD was worse than 240p , i mean the framerate ofcourse (quality too)
I could not find any ROM with Smooth and Quality HD Recording
Can you guys help me ? Please.
Any help will be appreciated.
P.S. It would be nice if the ROM would have good performance too

"Half" HD (720p) worked on my i9000 best ever with stock Froyo.
Now I can't even use 720p, I've enabled 409MB of memory and it disabled 720p recording.

Yes, correct- I use i9000.
Besides the fact that we need different ROMs for i9000 and i9001 I hoped you could benefit from my information. Stock ROM had good working VR and really nice IQ quality.
Videography is my big hobby, so I'm anyway not a big fan of HD recordings with a phone- I rather use hacked mirroless camera with truly great lens instead.

Our i9000 on 4.2.2 videorecord perfect on LiveOC 120% and use Camera JB+ application. Try it! Especially on 44100 sound discretisation.

I think this problen arises because JB roms is not optimised for 512mb ram. Try KK rom. Video recording in they is good and smooth. Or try kernel with low user memory 350mb e. g. but I'm not sure that it will be works.

camera quality + battery juice

hello xda
so i've been using custom roms since 2011 when i got my first android phone but it seems to me that devs still have same problems which is camera quality and battery drain so here is the list if u can find any rom that fits the description below
-Video stabilization and mic gain
-recording at 1080p 120fps
-SOT as near as stock rom
- smooth as possible
- capable of keeping apps locked in memory
feel free to suggest the Rom + kernel and mods that can unlock all of these features

1080p120 isn't hardware possible.
Why you don't use stock ROM? Best battery life and camera, mic gain can be changed by editing mixer_paths or flashing custom kernel like ElementalX, its app can modify mic gain.

Try Paranoid Android (AOSPA)
Battery is great and Camera can record up to 120 FPS

Most probably it's upscaled from 720p or even 480p to make it show 1080p in media info, and since the sensor does not support recording in 120 fps in such resolution, it's not going to be true 1080p.

Can you talk a bit more about the hi-performance dac? I'm very interested in that considering how recording sucks on 3T.
Edit: Alright I found it, looks like it just enables what can be found on some kernels which appears to the "audio high performance mode" in EXKM.

Even HAL rebuilding won't give you the ability to workaround hardware bottleneck. The device is simply not capable of doing this.

Works fine for me. I have CPU monitor running and shows only 39 °c. I am using stock ROM by the way. The custom ROMs are not good for high graphic games, always lag and over heat.
I don't think the game is optimised yet for our device, but as I said, use smooth with 60fps and you will get less lag than default settings..
Edit: I just played game at 60fps on smooth, while recording and still did not go over 38°c

Thead update, you can now use the gfx tool that is back in playstore, check first post for link.
