[Q] Camera mod doesn't work

Hello, my Optimus 2X is running v10b, and im trying to flash that mod -http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090785 . Flashed without issues, but when i record video, and see info in Windows it shows - full hd 24 fps 10 mbps bitrate. Why is that? I also tried alternative install via root explorer, but it's the same. The icon of camera doesn't change also.

I also try to solve this problem. But there is no help. apparently no one minds the terrible quality pictures and videos on this phone with camera stock

Terrible Video Quality With Uploaded Videos

When I upload any video from the phone to sites like FB or Flickr they look awful. They look very choppy and low resolution with lots of artifacts. This never happened with my Galaxy Note or iPhone. What the video looked like in the phone when I played it back was what it looked like when uploaded, with minor quality degradation. With the One the videos look great when played back on the phone or saved and played on my computer. But as soon as they are uploaded to any website the quality looks really poor. Anyone else experience this?

When you've uploaded HD video with your previous phones are you sure you weren't connected to WiFi? You may just have to copy the video file directly to your computer and upload it from there.
According to the article below, video is converted to standard definition when uploading to FB on an iphone. The article was written about a year ago though.

I've always uploaded video files through Wifi only. The video looks worst than standard definition, really choppy. I can understand FB compressing the files, but why even on Flickr is the video so choppy looking. Is there something in the settings I'm missing?

Well if you can upload that same video to youtube in HD and you find the quality to your liking, at least that would narrow it down as a problem with the app itself and not the phone's firmware. I've never really paid attention to the video quality when uploading to facebook. This is simply because every FB video I recall watching on my newsfeed has been poor quality.
I assume you have a Pro account on Flickr? http://www.flickr.com/help/video/

Yep have a Pro account. Problem partially solved. I tried to upload my video through my Mac, but Flickr upload wouldn't recognize the files. WTF! They are in .mp4 format after being directly transferred from the phone to my Mac. So I decided to just rename and save the file as .avi, bingo Flickr recognized. After uploading it through my Mac the video is finally being displayed in HD quality. Weird. So for some strange reason the phone is compressing the videos to SD quality when uploaded through the phone, gotta find a work around for this. Totally kills it that the phone records beautiful HD videos but I can't share them in HD with others.

Ok did some experimenting. Same video uploaded to Flickr directly from the phone the quality is bad, but from my computer it's HD quality when it is uploaded to Flickr. Then I tried the same but this time uploaded the video using both methods to YouTube. Bang, both videos are in HD quality when they arrive on YouTube. So I guess the problem lies in the embedded Flickr uploader preloaded on the One. It is automatically compressing all videos to SD quality in the phone before uploading. Must be some kind of bug in the new firmware.

Also, it appears that you need to have a Pro account on Flickr to see videos in HD. Otherwise they show up in SD

I have this exact same problem with uploading videos to Facebook from my Nexus 4. The funny thing is the video on FB that I uploaded has an HD button on it but it doesn't change anything when it is lit. It looks like crap either way. Anyone find a solution? Waiting until I am at a desktop computer to transfer the files and them upload them from there is not the solution I am looking for.

Youtube resolution

Hi guys, I'm sorry if this has been discussed in another thread, but I've been digging into this for about 2 hours now, and found nothing. I have a backup galaxy s advance, that I recently flashed with a cm 11 rom, and I'm not sure, but I'm under the impression that before with 4.1.2 stock, I could watch 480p videos on youtube, now the maximum resolution is 360p, and it's kinda pixelated. My question is....stock, is 360p the maximum resolution supported ? Also, is there any mod/fix whatever that can force youtube to go to 480p ? From my limited knowledge a 800x480 display should be 480p compatible, but please correct me if I'm wrong I've tried to modify the pixel density from build prop, but with no effect. Any help would be much appreciated

somewhere on the internet I read that Youtube does this restriction when you use HDMI connection to the screen.
I used to have very nice HD streaming for long time but after one of the app updates it is restricted, nothing else changed. I tried even to compare how it looks on my laptop. same video is showing full hd on laptop while on android it shows 360p max.
so by the experience I have it is definitely youtube app which restricts the options!!!!!!!

On stock (and stock based roms) you can watch 480p videos.
On KitKat you can't.
But you could try alternative apps like this one for 720p videos.

ALSO you can use this module in XPOSED called YOURTUBE you can change the resolution of the playing video ( i have not used it myself but the dev has mensioned it in module info)

Thanks for the suggestions guys

There's only one speaker the other one is the mic.
Just use the YouTube app and on the settings select the video quality 2k, 4k etc.

It wont work cause the screen is only full hd.. you wont be able to select higher res.....

I was able to play a 4k sample video and on chrome and dolphin browser I was able to select 4k/2k as well, whether or not is 4k it's questionable but it is selectable.

Hi, I don't see a video link but here's a solution.
Troubleshooting
Problem: YouTube videos appear broken and blurry
The solution: Tap the screen to pause the video. Click on the 3 dots in the upper right corner. Select "Quality" and set it to "720p"
View attachment 4712322

That works. Great thanks very much. It's great to get the touchpad working again.
