[Q] Droid 4 high speed slow mo video capture hack - Motorola Droid 4

There was a hack someone did on the build.prop file on the D3 to increase low light sensitivity, and another one to enable slow-mo but I could never get that one to work. Anyone out there hacking the camera?

full VGA recording @30fps? pls read it.

Guys i just want to know that is there any app or patch by which we can get full vga recording @25 or 30 fps.
OR
Is there any experts who can make or is working for the camera patch to get full VGA @25 or 30fps recording.
OR
anyother way to get it itself in diamond.
Pls reply and let me know if there is anything related to increase camera efficiency cause i am too much stressed because of the recording is not perfect in such a high priced phone and many of my friends got less priced phone and they are more than 2mp camera and takes good photos and good recording as camera is faster, no spooky effect, etc even though resolution is not so good still its fast fps recording and i didn't know that diamond will not be able to record and battery drainer and spooky camera recording at only 15fps.
But there is one thing the camera is totally light dependent cause in very good light or sunlight it gives no spooky effect and i recorded clips in 24.0 fps even though in half vga resolution but still good pics and vids.
So why diamond dont have camera like nokia which is better even thought the resolution is low?
Pls can somebody help or can somebody assure me that in future maybe after 5 to 6 months there will def an app or patch for it?
Sorry mods but i am replying my own thread so it goes up and some expert will read it and help out.
Nobody is interested to even read or reply in this topic.
Pls read as i know for many diamond users are suffering little like me and the phone is amazing and even camera is good but only full vga with good fps will be much better so that all buyers of diamond become by seeing app or patch to improve recording
You will most likely have to wait until someone ports the Diamond2's camera app, since the new phone supports VGA recording. However, you may still have an issue if the Diamond itself doesn't support VGA recording.
I've always wanted to see better video recording on the Diamond. I thought the reason it was limited was because the phone simply wasn't fast enough to be able to sustain a decent frame rate for VGA recording (due to the fact that on my old Touch, a rapidly changing view seemed to significantly reduce the frame rate), but the Diamond2's hardware is similar, so perhaps it's a limitation related to the camera.
in my old p3600 it can record video 15 fps in dark
but my diamond only 4 , 6 fps in dark ?!
also my friend touch daul only 4 to 6 fps
the recording in all touch series is just crap in dark

Video Recording Performance

Is there a way of getting good performance from the video on the TyTN II, when there is "low light"?
For example, if I am outdoors during the day, video records brilliantly... very smooth. If I record in the house at night with the lights on, video recording is very very jittery (but sound is perfect).
I have found that if I gradually aim the camera towards the lights the video recording gets gradually better the more light that gets in to the camera.
Thats a pretty funny question.
shutter speed ?
I would imagine the camera is combining frames due to the lack of data from the low light, effectively reducing the frames per second but providing at least a viewable picture. This is probably by design and the alternative would be a great frames per second in low light but entirely useless dark video.
Adjusting the contrast in image properties allowed me to see more in a dark room, but the motion is still awful compared to daylight video. I don't believe there is any way around it, other than turn on a light. Maybe someone does know a way to just slightly tweak it to accomplish a better a compromise, though. Anyone?
daaaayyyuuumm dude...search!!!

front facing camera fps

Hello,
do you have any idea if the front facing camera is limited to like 15fps?
I was testing google talk video and I noticed that the back camera is much smoother than the front one when calling.
So i thought i was a limitation of Gtalk but when I tried to make a video in "camera" the fps is the same.
EDIT: I tried to see details of the recording. It shows 7fps!!
WTH? is this a hw or sw limitation?
I think software related
just the way some devs have changed some lines to record on higher frame rates
i gues they can do the same with the front cam
Does it happen with the stock ROM? If yes this a very stupid limitation. Why in 2011 would they do a 7fps camera?
I'm using cynogen

To minimize traffic/save money on a cellular network. This needs to work on even the slowest of connections.
That being said, there definitely should be some auto-detection/settings which should control the framerate.
I tried to make a video call wiht an iphone 4 with tango. The iphone was "smooth" and watchable. The lg stream was upside down, choppy and very low res.
Just checked an FFC recorded vid in MediaInfo, it's 640x480 @ 30fps

So how's possible?
Even if the mediainfo info was wrong I can assure is nowhere near the 20 fps range

I think I got what's happening.
The driver (?) changes the frame rate according to the light available. I don't know if you're familiar with how photography/lenses work. I do so I'll explain.
Normally a very small sensor (like this) would have a very low sensitivity so to get more light into the sensor it would reduce the shutter speed to like 1/5s and clearly below.
The strange thing is that it also reduced the framerate but the visual result is practically the same. In fact if you find a very strong light position(sun light basically) you will get 30fps.
I don't really like this behavior, I think I prefer a smooth recording with low light (solution would be to turn the lights on ) than 7fps with auto light obtained with low shutter speed.
Do you have specs about the sensor size of both the front and back cameras?
Yesterday I tried to make a video call with Tango with an iphone4 and o2x (both with me) and the iphone4 in the same light conditions sent a noticeable smoother and cleaner video.
What I'd like to know is if the o2x has a VERY small sensor OR if this is a bug with cm7, since they have plenty of problems with the cameras drivers due to nvidia source code missing. Or if this is just how the driver works

FPS Dropping in low-light

Loving this phone so far except for one thing. When recording in low-light, there is a significant decrease of fps.
I realize that the 28mm f/2.0 lens is the best out there so why would HTC pair it with such a crippling software feature???
I'd rather have the software crank up the ISO or lose a little exposure to keep the video at a steady 30 or 24 fps instead of the stuttering/lag effect.
Some of my videos uploaded in low-light areas are averaging 20/fps.
Do any of you know if HTC usually updates the camera software or if an outside dev would come out with a camera hack allowing us to lock the framerate?
I'm pretty sure this is a known issue and will be fixed in an upcoming update

Enhancing slow motion lenght and framerates

Hello everyone. I really like slowmotion feature and read somewhere that this hardware is capable of recording longer super slowmo and 240f of constant slow motion...
Any chance achieving this on our compacts?
