[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..

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

[Q] xperia x8 hd video

hello frds my question is we enable hd video recording in x8?
bcoz it is possible in iphone 3gs
http://www.redmondpie.com/enable-hd-video-recording-on-iphone-3gs-jailbreak/
the camera is same 3.2 so it is possible ?

An X8 is not an iPhone,it has different hardware AND software, so if they could do it on the iPhone, that doesn´t mean anything to us.
And HD is just the size of the frames and doesn´t give you more quality, and maybve the quality will be weird, as the images of the camera have to be stretched by the software, and a small picture strecthed to a big size always looks weird.

The camera could do HD videos, because it has the resolution. Other question is that the processor could not keep up with the real time encoding (even with 640x480 resolution the video might skip some frames). So it could be done, but it will be totally useless.

[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.

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

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

720p is possible:good:

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

[MOD][Camera][LG ICS/JB Camera For CM10/10.1] by feav

This is modded LG ICS camera for CM10 ported by defcomg and LG JB camera ported by me, modded by me. I have changed some things for myself and want to share it.
Change log:
Code:
[COLOR="Red"]Signed LG JB CameraApp3:[/COLOR]
Added signed JB camera. Not system app, so you can install it like other app.
[COLOR="DarkOrange"]signed_JB_camera_feav.apk - Works on stock ICS and CM 10
signed_JB_camera_feav_CM101.apk - Works on CM 10.1
nosound version - no focus and video record start sound[/COLOR]
No other changes since last JB mod.
[COLOR="Red"]Test1 LG JB CameraApp3:[/COLOR]
Test LG JB Camera ported by me from Optimus G.
Live Effect temporary disabled.
All options from v3, except:
+ CameraApp3 feature to rearrange menu
+ LiveShot button (while video record).
- Temporary reverted Default storage from /DCIM/Camera/ to /DCIM/100LGDSC/ (caused by LiveShot limits)
> Increased JPEG compression from default 95 to 97 in camera.tegra.so
[COLOR="Red"]v3:[/COLOR]
+ Battery threshold lowered from 5 to 1%
- Lowered video bitrate for 720p to 15Mbps (I think it is optimum)
+ Extras zip: libnvmm_camera.so with Denoise-off (warning! noisy big images.
Someone asked me about RAW, it is like RAW :) )
- Default camera.tegra.so for Gtalk
[COLOR="red"]v2:[/COLOR]
Changes in CameraApp.apk:
- Added option to MUTE shot sound (absolute silent)
NOTE: but installing v2 you will mute default CM camera too - I changed permissions to:
/system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg
/system/media/audio/ui/camera_focus.ogg
/system/media/audio/ui/VideoRecord.ogg
/system/media/audio/ui/VideoStop.ogg
(If you need, you can change permissions back by yourself thru RootExplorer and etc.)
- Default storage now /DCIM/Camera/
- 720p: video = 20mbps 30fps (1080p is still 17mbps 24fps)
[COLOR="Red"]v1:[/COLOR]
The CWM flashable package include:
CameraApp.apk - modded camera, installs in /system/app/
necessary libs - /system/lib/
modified camera.tegra.so to improve image quality - /system/lib/hw/
modified media_profiles.xml to increase video/audio bitrates - /system/etc/
Changes in CameraApp.apk:
- Added Support Zoom On Record (pinch to zoom)
- VoiceShutter button replaced by flash button in Camera main menu
- Video bitrates up to 20Mbps
Changes in media_profiles.xml:
- 1080p: video = 17mbps, audio = 96kbps 44100hz
720p: video = 12mbps, audio = 96kbps 44100hz
- jpeg compression: 97, 90, 80
NEED FEEDBACK!

How is picture quality & Auto Focus compared to stock CM10? Would be nice if someone could compare them

cm10 pic and cam sucks
Lg camera from ics is much better(even if it has slower af while taking pics)
Also, lg's video cam don't use af which is great couse it's verry buggy on our phone and it doesn't produce nice video material
Lg's video cam uses more bitrate so it's little blt better quality

[Q] Hack/Mod Sense Camera Slow Motion Quality

Hi!
Has anybody came across some mods/tweak, where as the HTC One's stock camera (Sense) can be modified- e.g.
remain at the same 96 fps but higher resolution (720p for example) or increase the fps to 120.
As far as I know, the Snapdragon 600 should be capable of this, hence my 6 year old KU990 was able to do QVGA 120 fps on a 140mhz 1 core ARM CPU
Thanks.

Hmm, not even a not possible reply?

Most probably depends on the kernel. Anw the stock camera is able to film 60fps with 720p. How do u modify it to 96fps 0.0

If you choose Slow Motion in video settings - it records slow motion at 96 fps, but low quality for a FullHD screen...
That is why I am asking if it is possible to modify it

That depends on the kernel, and of cource the camera app. For now I think it's impossible. The resolution of slow mo mode is really low..
