[Q] [request]GB camera no shutter sounds no quality mods - LG Optimus 2x

hi, I am looking for stock camera for stock LG Gingerbread no shutter sounds but without the "improved Pic/Vid quality" part (I do not have external sd card so I try to take the most of the internal one, using the best compression to save space... , and besides my vids are meant to be shared on internet) , thanks in advance.

re-lancing request. anybody? thanks.

don't know where is the problem, usually quality mods, also have lower quality settings, so you can use those
for example andicp mod
Picture quality:
Set normal picture quality to 80
Set fine picture quality to 90
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
720p:
Set normal video quality to 4Mbs (=superfine in LG app)
Set fine video quality to 9Mbs
Set superfine video quality to 14Mbs
you can use the normal quality setting for less space

Andicps mos is good, but it doesn't work on V20L.

1080P Video Recording!!!!!!

Alright don't chew my arse if I am not right, but I think I just might be...
Gspot image attached of a 10sec. sample video using the below settings and attached media_profiles.xml
What I have done is edited the build.prop with a new property using Prop Editor:
Code:
ro.media.camcorder.1080p=mp4,h264,60,24000000,aac,128000,44100,2
So property is:
Code:
ro.media.camcorder.1080p
Value:
Code:
mp4,h264,60,24000000,aac,128000,44100,2
I also made changes to the Media_profiles.xml file and have attached that file in zip format.
To install:
Unzip the file
using root explorer go to /System/etc
Rename media_profiles.xml to media_profiles.xml.bak
copy the new media_profiles.xml file to /System/etc
Change permissions to rw-r--r--
Reboot
Open up the camcorder
Goto Settings 1080P Shows HD+ on the screen when recording..
enjoy 1080P video recording...
FYI.. In 720p mode the same 10sec video had a file size of 14MB
In 1080 mode same subject matter video 10 sec. with a file size of 21MB.
Another build.prop edit:
ro.camcorder.videoModes=true
Default is false
This enables Video mode, which includes Video message, Normal, Slow motion, and Fast motion.
Hope this helps!!
The BIG question is, why do you want 1080P recordings? The optics can not really even support 720P and 1080P will not make it look better, probably even worse and the file will be twice as big. Playback of 1080P I can understand.
Just my 0.02
Cheers
nice post, but is the 1080p recording still only 24fps?
Also, to solve the spacing problem in the post, put the lines inside the Code tags
Code:
ro.media.camcorder.1080p=mp4,h264,60,24000000,aac,128000,44100,2

Being able to extract any frame and have it 2mp is pretty cool to me. It the highest resolution, if you're playing it on a nice full HD screen, it will fill every pixel. It does look better in 1080p

I'm actually glad that it's 24fps. If you think, any professional movie on a dvd only plays 24fps. When it gets up to 30fps, it plays faster and looks more like a home video, so I like the 24fps look better.
Thanks for this will try it out tonight!
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
Not work on Stock rom! At least for me...
It looks better but our software is not optimized to record 1080p yet. So videos are slightly choppy.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
Works great on CherryBlur!
Still a little choppy during recording, but the output file is definitely 1080p at 24fps.
Playback is very smooth.
Nice find on the xml file.
Doesn't work for me too!!!
p.s. atrix has far more optics than just 2.5 mpx (1080p)

same as me
A agurzhiy and yusmiza... Did you change the permissions of the media_profiles.xml to rw-r--r-- and reboot after copying the file over and making the changes in the build prop?
does the front camera work? noticed in you xml you put the high setting for the front cam at 720P
Seems to work for me. At least 720 and 1080 the file sizes were different anyway (for the same time frame) Nothing to really test it on here at work.
edit: When taking pictures the 720 and 1080 file sizes are different also...though both say 3.8 mp still
i just edited myself!
Please tell me the version of your FW and is it a stock camera?
p.s. i do not care 1080, i need SloMo, but my buildProp has on default ro.camcorder.videoModes=true
Default was true for me
running Ken's GB beta 4 and yes stock camera
i'll try to copy your file. I found slomo and fastmo
but both of them, while playing are just usual video. Nothing faster, nothing slower, despite the fact that camera on slomo each second counts as 3 seconds (so it shows after 3 seconds that 9 seconds were recorded)
y2... Thanks for catching that!! I didn't realize I didn't put the front camera setting back to norm.. My front Camera doesn't work due to a swimming pool incident with my Atrix, but it will usually come up with a black screen.. now I get a FC.. I will make the appropriate changes and update the file.. Let me know if the new file lets the front cam work on yours...

the optics don't matter, it's the sensor. the sensor is also not able to capture constant data at the full 5 MP (video); it can take pictures at that level but it can't handle video at that level. that's why whenever you record a video on you digital camera, it's at a much smaller resolution, or why when you do burst-mode on some cameras, the maximum size is smaller than the regular MP rating.

[APP] Recording video at resolution 640.480 for galaxy mini.

ok first this it not my work.
thanks to RubberBigPepper for his great work. for download link, go to original thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1677645
but the thing i want to share here, it is very simple, but its VERY GREAT.
this camera help us to recording video at resolution 640.480 most camera app, from stock camera to apps from store, or porting..only can record at max res 320.240
but with this camera app, we can really record at 640.480
for this, just install camera normally.then go to camcoder, setting:
scene mode: action
video resolution: 640.480 (higher is not supported)
video encoder: mpeg4
video file format: mpeg4
video bitrate:5Mbit
other is default.then exit apps. open it again (u need to do it because it still in beta and have bug)
now u can record, then open in your computer.u can see, resolution it 640.480, video it much more better and detail
the only problem is framerate only 10, while with stock we have 15.but i think because this does not have right config for mini (same as miui camera.it only can record at res 320.240 with framerate 10 )
notice, this app still in dev so it may have bugs.but the important thing i want to share you and hope devs hack it, its that our mini can record video at higher resolution, and if anyone can make the framerate more than 15, this would be very great
devs, please looking for this!
Very Good
Has many options for camera and camcorder!

But I can record at 30 fps
so what is negative effect from "framerate only 10" ?
I don't understand about resolution, or fps etc
can someone give an explanation?

[GUIDE]Record better videos+low light fps workaround+increase bitrate on the Redmi 2

So you want to record more natural looking videos on your Redmi 2? Maybe so you get more headroom when video editing? Or does recording in low light look too choppy? Then this might be for you!
After reading Redmi 2 on XDA and checking out FreeDCam, I can say that it’s the best looking video recorder I’ve tried on my phone.
Of course you want to see some samples (Sorry if the samples aren’t that great but there weren’t any colourful flowers around. )

Low light with workaround

FreeDCam
This camera app will give you more manual controls than any other video recording app plus, you can even change them while recording! Here’s some specific settings that you should change…
Exposure: Adjust so nothing looks too dark or too bright (find the balance).
Contrast: Change to 0 (or something slightly higher). I guess the problem with other apps is that the contrast is set too high and makes shadows look too dark and highlights look too bright.
Sharpness: Set to 0 as the video will look more soft and natural. Sharpening after recording (i.e. using a program) seems to look better…
Denoise: Turn off as colours get washed out and we start to lose some of that detail. (Or keep it on if you really hate noise.)
There’s some issues regarding focussing, manual focus doesn’t seem to work. If you want to set your focus to infinity, after launching the app, set the focus to auto, tap to focus once and then set your focus to infinity.
Ok great now I can record better videos! But at night the video looks blurry, choppy…
The reason why this happens is so that more light can enter the camera for longer, causing the video to look blurry, choppy and noisy. Here is a workaround where you can now record at a constant 30fps even in the dark! This idea came from some OnePlus thread where you could rename a front camera video binary file to the rear camera video binary as the front camera records at a constant 30fps. Be aware there is a trade-off and it is that dark places won’t be as bright at 30fps compared to 15fps!
If you don’t do this, then 15fps could actually be helpful as you can see more with less light! FreeDCam will help a lot with a low light situation with the increased exposure and decreased contrast. You’ll get more noise though. You can either activate the denoiser and/or run a denoiser plugin after you have recorded your video.
(Note: I’m not responsible for anything that might happen on your phone. I’ve only tested this on cm13 so the files might be different across different roms.)
Note that this mod will affect all apps that record video and dark places will look very dark.
Go to /vendor/lib/
Copy the name libchromatix_ov8865_sunny_default_video.so and then back it up (rename it to something like libchromatix_ov8865_sunny_default_video.so1
Create a copy of libchromatix_ov2680_5987fhq_default_video.so and rename it to libchromatix_ov8865_sunny_default_video.so
To revert change libchromatix_ov8865_sunny_default_video.so1 back to libchromatix_ov8865_sunny_default_video.so
Increase bitrate…
You can increase the video bitrate with FreeDCam (or any other video recording app if you mess with media_profile.xml) so you can record all that fine detail (including especially the noise). Here, we’ll change the bitrate to 40Mbps.
Just head to /system/etc/media_profiles.xml and look for: (tip: near the end)
<VideoEncoderCap name="h264" enabled="true"
minBitRate="64000" maxBitRate="20000000"
minFrameWidth="176" maxFrameWidth="1920"
minFrameHeight="144" maxFrameHeight="1088"
minFrameRate="15" maxFrameRate="30"
maxHFRFrameWidth="1920" maxHFRFrameHeight="1080"
maxHFRMode="120" />
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Change maxBitRate to 40000000 and save. This edit only tells the phone the maximum bitrate it can encode at.
In FreeDCam, make sure you’re in 1080p! Change video bitrate to 40000000 and audio bitrate 320000. Be aware that the video size will now be around 300MB/min so make sure you have plenty of storage. (I tried using an USB OTG Drive. It works! But the USB device interfered with the microphones and created noise. )
So yeah. The difference might not be that noticeable to some, but to me, it looks a lot better to me. While recording, the viewfinder might lag a bit but in the actual recorded video, it’ll be fine. I might put more samples up or maybe you try this out and get some samples for me! Hopefully there are some people here who are interested in video. :good:

Prioritizing FPS Over Exposure

My front-facing camera also goes into "Slideshow Mode" in low light, so following your exact steps above didn't work for me. However, I fiddled a bit and found what does work for me:
Trade exposure for fps priority:
1. Go to /vender/lib/
2. Rename "libchromatix_ov8865_sunny_default_video.so" to "libchromatix_ov8865_sunny_default_video.so1"
3. Create a copy of "libchromatix_ov8865_sunny_hfr_60fps.so" and rename it to "libchromatix_ov8865_sunny_default_video.so"
EDIT1: Getting decent night time results using "libchromatix_ov8865_q8v18a_default_video.so" as the source. It actually allows me proper exposure/fps control. "libchromatix_ov8865_q8v18a_hfr_60fps.so" handles similarly, but prioritizes fps.
EDIT2: Various vendor libs from github/TheMuppets/xiaomi/cancro also work. However, results are all over the place.
This isn't a proper fix, but it's really good to be Slideshow-free.

Not sure why it works, but it works. Maybe it's coincidence. I still get the occasional brief dips to 20-odd fps, but they're too infrequent to be a nuisance. It's not a proper fix, but it's really good to be Slideshow-free.

I think most roms have switch to the lollipop canera blobs and that's why the front camera is choppy now to fix the 'dark video' problem. I've switched to Resurrection Remix, there are some few changes that had to be made to the instructions (getting the old front camera file) so I can still get 30fps.I'll check it out renaming to the 60fps file. Currently I'm quite busy

Mi 9T Pro: 8 minutes video limit (4K 60 FPS) and other limits: any solutions?

Hello,
Sum up
I'm looking for a good way to record 4K 60 FPS with an external microphone, and possibly using any camera of the phone.
Why
I'm trying to find a convenient way to record good quality videos with speaking subjects (interviews and such) on the phone.
I aim the best possible quality for comfort and durability. I am therefore trying to film 4K 60 FPS with an external Lavalier microphone plugged in the jack port of the phone. (I'm also using a gimbal and stands depending on the context).
I also want to sometimes use the main camera, and sometimes the wide angle lens.
Phone
I'm using a stock ROM Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro (8GB RAM/256GB Storage, Global version).
Issues
As simple as it seems, I'm encountering a few issues/limitations.
Default video app :
- doesn't seem to take an external microphone
- has mediocre but OK audio compression quality
- has an 8 minutes limit when filming 4K 60 FPS (don't know about other formats).
(My 8 minutes 4K 60 FPS video is 2.2GB, so it doesn't seem to be a file size limit)
- and it's also the only one that seems to support video recording with any lens/camera on the phone...
I'm willing to sacrifice on audio quality if someone can think of a way to use an external mic, and get rid of that 8 minutes time limitation with the default camera app.
Issues with other apps
I've tried a lot of alternate video apps, but none allowed me to record videos using the wide angle lens, or they were bugged or wouldn't take the external mic or woulldn't do 60 FPS in 4K...
- OpenCamera : Works great for everything, most stable so far, OK with external mic, no time limit and all, but no wide angle
- 4K Camera Pro : No 4K 60 FPS (limited to 30 FPS), crashes a lot, no option for using wide angle camera, takes external mic
- Cinema FV-5 Lite : No option for more than 30 FPS, 4K is limited to the pro version, no option for wide angle camera
- HedgeCam2 : Unable to even select 4K anymore after testing the app, couldn't find an option to select another camera, should take external mic, not tested that much.
- Google Camera (from Pixel) : Supports wide angle for photo, but not video. Stopped testing there.
- DJI Mimo : This is the app from my gimbal, no 4K 60 FPS (no framerate option), and won't take external microphone... So it's OK for making footage, but not interviews.
Question
For now, my best option is to forget about the wide angle and to just use Open Camera which is not 100% satisfying...
So my question is this:
Does anyone see a better option? Maybe even a ROM or an addon that could force microphone selection? I'm willing to go to custom builds at this point.
Thank you

I also want to sometimes use the main camera, and sometimes the wide angle lens.
Phone
I'm using a stock ROM Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro (8GB RAM/256GB Storage, Global version).
Issues
As simple as it seems, I'm encountering a few issues/limitations.
Default video app :
- doesn't seem to take an external microphone
- has mediocre but OK audio compression quality
- has an 8 minutes limit when filming 4K 60 FPS (don't know about other formats).
(My 8 minutes 4K 60 FPS video is 2.2GB, so it doesn't seem to be a file size limit)
- and it's also the only one that seems to support video recording with any lens/camera on the phone...
I'm willing to sacrifice on audio quality if someone can think of a way to use an external mic, and get rid of that 8 minutes time limitation with the default camera app.
Issues with other apps
I've tried a lot of alternate video apps, but none allowed me to record videos using the wide angle lens, or they were bugged or wouldn't take the external mic or woulldn't do 60 FPS in 4K...
- OpenCamera : Works great for everything, most stable so far, OK with external mic, no time limit and all, but no wide angle
- 4K Camera Pro : No 4K 60 FPS (limited to 30 FPS), crashes a lot, no option for using wide angle camera, takes external mic
- Cinema FV-5 Lite : No option for more than 30 FPS, 4K is limited to the pro version, no option for wide angle camera
- HedgeCam2 : Unable to even select 4K anymore after testing the app, couldn't find an option to select another camera, should take external mic, not tested that much.
- Google Camera (from Pixel) : Supports wide angle for photo, but not video. Stopped testing there.
- DJI Mimo : This is the app from my gimbal, no 4K 60 FPS (no framerate option), and won't take external microphone... So it's OK for making footage, but not interviews.
Question
For now, my best option is to forget about the wide angle and to just use Open Camera which is not 100% satisfying...
So my question is this:
Does anyone see a better option? Maybe even a ROM or an addon that could force microphone selection? I'm willing to go to custom builds at this point.
Thank you

Try filmic pro, it's not free but has a huge amount of options when it comes to resolutions, compression/container method, camera and fps, there's actually too much for me to mention, the ui is a little cluttered but I think it's down to having so much stuff

Just got the Filmic Pro app, really great even though it doesn't solve the camera switch issue. Thanks for sharing.
Sent a few suggestions to the devs, we'll see.
One boring thing is it gets back to the default (internal) mic after unplugging the external and does not go back to external when you plug it back. No big deal but might lead to errors. Also, it doesn't support the DJI Osmo Mobile 3 yet, but since the 1 and 2 are supported, it's likely a mater of time. That's awesome already that it supports some gimbals at all.
For the rest, it's pretty cool, I like the interface and ease of use, that's the most professional video app I've seen yet.
We'll see, I'm glad I've got this app in my library anyways.

General OnePlus 10 Pro - Camera preferred settings

What is the best compromise in terms of settings for the video shooting for the OnePlus 10 Pro?
I have noticed that some of the settings available make the choppy videos and/or incompatible with external devices or apps.
- resolution (720p, 1080p, 4k or 8k)
- FPS (30 fps, 60 fps or 120 fps)
-- I have noticed AI Highlight Video and Ultra Steady are only available for 1080p, 60 fps. It seems to be the best compromise but happy to get your feedback on it.
What do you think about the below settings?
- 10 bit color for Photo / Night modes
- HEIF to retain quality and reduce file size
-- It seems to be fine if photos are converted before editing (on Photoshop / Lightroom for ex.) and exporting to JPG
- HEVC to save video space
-- I have noticed compatibility issues on certain videos on VLC for example or Whatsapp sharing (as it is compressing videos)
Thanks
any thoughts?

Lightroom also failed to load some photos too due to some settings.may be HEIF but not same for all.
