On some of these driver treads i have read, some state that Duttys 6.1 rom has something in its registry or .dll's that improves the 3D Chipset that improves the driver or something like that..is this true? If so exactly which Dutty rom or which new updated ROMS in general do this, and how much improvement is seen. Does this video playback include a better Video recording with the camera?
Could you gusy please specify these statements i have been reading about and is it possible to get these video playback improvements wthout actually flashing the rom? is ther cabs for slight video improvemnt circulating around the kaiser software or general forum because i cant find anything. My older Hermes had such good camera video recording that when i use to record movies in the movie theatres and show them to people they actually thought i downloaded the movie, my kaisers video recording is handicaped at best, i just wanna solve these problems and dont worry ive petitoned and sent my notes on the classaction lawsuit and htc support site, we can make this happen.
Look in the Kaiser ROM Development section and you'll find a number of roms that use the drivers from the Diamond that improve performance a bit. Unfortuantely, the camera still sucks, but playback is much better.
Reading will do you plenty of good in the rom section.

Not sure it's wise to admit this so openly.....?
yea are the roms your talking about like duttys that improv video playback performace? cuz download movies and youtube movies playback beatifully alrdy...i dont know how much of an improvment that is for me to put a whole new rom because ive tweaked to hell my att official rom with no att applications which saved alot space but nothing with my video drivers tweaked so i like my at oficial rom. If you have any other rom tweak information plz share because i wanna know what duttys or schaps roms do to video enhancement but they do nothing to the cameras video playback....so any information is needed
Hello everyone.
My problem is that I was changing some registry keys to record video at 30 fps. Although I came to leave the registry as it was, now the video camera records much more pixelated and also jumps. The result is very poor quality videos. Would greatly appreciate your help to solve this problem.
Help me, please.
FIXED
Seeing that nobody helps me, I inquire about my solution:
Just what I've done has been a full backup. Once done, return the unit to its first state with a Hard-reset. Once in that state, with a registry editor, I made a cab from the path HKLM-SOFTWARE-HTC-CAMERA. Now i install the backup. Then install the cab I created and finally install the cab improved camera modes "of JaimeH y. .. Perfect!
I hope someone can help.
Greetings.
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?

I don't think so , this mod is for Modaco GR1 (Gingerbread)
the ROM Stock are Froyo

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
thanks
Thanks for your posts guys!

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.

I'm going to test it too today.
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.

Are you planning on adding MIUI compatibility? Currently it force closes on 1.8.12

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!
AndiCP
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
I find this video and on this optimus black has different camera app.This camera app has video editing tool i using europe open 10e rom and there is no video editing tool.How can i find this camera.apk?Or anyone has video editing tool can u share your camera.apk in system/app...

First time I'm seeing those features, and I've watched a ton of video reviews about this phone both before and after purchasing it. Looks like the owner of the video is LG, as you can also see from the actual photos inside the phone of the LG Headquarters. This probably means that it's a developer preview or maybe the 2.3 Camera application
There's a german header on this video "This is not final Software, so apps and functions may vary"...
This feature is evident in the Australian version of the user guide.
I do not know whether it actually is in the roms for this region?
holy **** i want that!
i would flash back to stock just for that app.
the only reason preventing me is that the stock camera app is unable to disable the shutter sound, ass

To the best of my knowledge, there's no such stock camera application. If there would, we surely would have it in each port (which means one so far...).
here is a (german) thread about removing shutter sound. there you'll find a modded camera.apk.

Wow, if they had this feature for awhile and only decide to release it along side gingerbread as a 'new' feature, it would just be poor taste :O
Hello sorry for bringing in this question here. I have a Desire 600 and although the camera doesn't have the Zoe Mode, in the gallery I can see or view my photos and videos in zoe preview (video highlight) now, my questions are 1) why I can't save the clips and 2) is this just a demo version?
Thanks a lot people!

Hi twistergear! I can see that you get a lot of help from this forum, pretty nice huh!? In case you still have the "save" video highlight problem edited from your phone I will suggest few things that might workout for you.
1) Update your firmware and
2) install a third party video player like the MX Player.
Now go to your gallery, select the video or photos you like to share and save it. Then, go to your installed video player (MX Player) and locate the video highlight folder and play the saved file. I hope it will work!
Cheers!

I guess it needs additional video codec to render, save and play.
