Dear all ,
I remember when i had my note2 the camera was really fast , i mean it was instant click and picture with no load and you could take again and again , any way to improve the capture speed of Z1?

Frame rate option in camera?

I've tried recording videos with both "normal" and "high" frame rate options, it doesn't seem to do anything, any ideas why it's there?
The info button says it's the rate at which videos are captured, so would that indicate if it works you'd get slow motion video?
i've been wonderin about that option myself....and changin it really doesnt seem to do anything at all...
There is a pretty clear difference.
However, the X1i is the only phone that has the difference.
It's not completely noticable on the Xperia, but if you play the video on the computer,
there will be a noticable difference in the framerate. Give it a shot!
just open files on advanced player and press PROPERTIES
Frame Rate: > 10fps or 24 fps
the problem is that the framerate goes down when the brightness is low..then the camera gets laggy in recording mode...so there has to be a setting that we can change the minimum frame rate
please developers HELP

Try BsB tweaks 1.6 it has an option to increase video bitrate. If this post helped press thanks.
ok,does it works on windows 6.1? and is it good to change to mpeg4 recording? what settings you used? would you please upload a video to see the difference?

I have no idea if it works on 6.1 because I don't use 6.1. The settings I used are the ones that improved camera and video quality to me they seemed like they worked I hardly use my camera and video anyway , I don't think the OP would put it improves camera and video quality if didn't. I'm not a bout to upload videos that's way to much of my time and effort when this is not my problem. Go ahead and install the cab and find out for yourself .
does i have to be carefull with this tweak,which settings i should change there?
my x1 quality is not that good...yours?

To start off if you are installing tweaks you always want to install them in the main phone memory unless the app says otherwise. I looked into what you were saying and made an interesting discovery the tweaks are not meant for the X1's camera. In the rom I'm using now I went to my multimedia folder and found separate camera and video software( most likely HD2 or rhodiums or HTC camera and video). I went into the software and found all the options the tweaks are supposed to unlock. The hidden video formats are H.263 and 4, 3GPP2, MPEG 4, and Motion JPEG. To my suprise the highest resolution is CIF(352x288). I tried all the video formats and all are very laggy the X1's video camera is way better. I only use BsB tweaks for the Power saving, Policies, SMS Wake Up, Gyph Cache and TCIP/IP Cache. The videos you posted look actually pretty good and the one where you were riding on the bike and past the man be pushed in a wagon made me laugh so hard
hehe these videos are just samples for good quality xperia x1 videos,i found on youtube. i dont made them. my quality is not that good i think. i installed the bsb tweak now on the main memory but really no changes (
highest resolution is CIF(352x288) i would like to see a video in that quality on xperia x1...is there any other good solution? at the moment i use vga,wide screen and endless focus
thx for help

Ya I seen a couple of your posts in different threads saying they are sample videos lol. Believe me when I say this it is very bad with CIF and it is not in fullscreen view mode, very laggy/ blurry when you move it's not even worth uploading a video to show it's that bad. Try macro focus instead of endless see if that improves anything. Also maybe overclocking your phone with more speed might give a better framerate also idk.
ok,i installed wimospeed..how much does i can push up the mhz that it doesnt influence the battery life

Your battery life is going to be the same regardless of the increase of mhz. Every Xperia is different so the results of how high you can push it is going to be different. Try 652 to start.
it doesnt influence the battery life?
Thats a pretty good tool...652,8mhz and its mainly faster but the frame rate in video recording seems to be the same or?
if you have some more usefull tools,let me know.
p.s. my homescreen etc.

I have the same issue, it is a shame... nice phone, though

[Q] ZOOM CAMERA FX - has somebody experiences with LGOB?

somebody knows the app CAMERA ZOOM FX and can describe me his experiences?
the shutter time of stock camera app is very slow and so unsuitable for me to make snapshots of moving objects.
the sluggishness of the camera IMHO isn't a HW-problem, i think the SW is the reason. various camera apps and also CM7 show a faster camera.
CAMERA ZOOM FX gets good reviews and i now i hope there is somebody who can give me short answers to my questions.
- what about the shutter time in comparison to stock camera app?
- is it possible to deactivate the sounds (shutter and focus)?
- what about quality of photos and videorecords? is HD-recording laggy?
i look forward to your feedbacks an perhaps points to alternative apps.
merry x-mas and happy new year to all of yours and your families
n.m.

- didnt measure it but never had a problem so i guess it's about the same with stock application
- yes it is possible, search better in the settings menus
- Camerazoom FX does not record videos.

MiraVision, ClearMotion & (more of 30FPS Now is possible!)

There are at least two very important things for me, and that would be an excellent improvement to the user experience of this phone.
The first is can use MiraVision. This is a great improvement to the image quality.
The software comes preinstalled !!! at least in the weekly version 5.11.26 and 5.12.3 ...
Now you can be activated, and it is magnificent !!! but the settings can not be saved.
When turning off the display, it returns to the default setting.
The second is be able to record video at normal speed, at least at 60FPS. Helio x10 can do that and much more, and the image sensor too, the software why not?
If we succeed in this, the phone would win many positive points.
Anyone wants help me?
Of course you can't save the settings, miui have a stock screen management

Well ... Now you can record video in HD at 60FPS (or more)
The solution is here
But we need help to make it work the "slow motion".
We need the name of the tag for this mode.
You know if it's possible to use clear motion in CM?
That feature is really amazing..

60 FPS camera
Simply MIUI lacks media_profiles.xml, that usually is included in every Android version in /system/etc
This file is read from multimedia apps in order to get phone's capabilities with camcorder.
If you insert that file in MIUI the stock camera app will read it and the camcorder fps drop will be bypassed. The camera will record at 60fps also in low light condition! Actually file works fine, in fact it will put the exposure at a low level in order to get best fps performance. But it isn't so optimized and the Spanish team is working on it. You can download the file from https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1jCoBYPR8eGbVVXZkM1V2VBdUk/view?usp=sharing
You have to set permission to 644 RW R R
Slow motion will not work for now. But it's great that at least we will have a perfect camera fps for now (720p 60fps and 1080p 46fps).
The question is, why if the hardware of our phone is so powerful Xiaomi made a rom that actually doesn't reflect this powerfulness??
For cyanogenmod we don't have anything right....?
Superb job!

how to get slower shutter speed in z1

hi
I wanted to know if there is a way to get a slower shutter speed in our z1,
thanks to Mr. zadas we can use 1 second shutter speed,
but for more shutter speed like 30 second, we need to change the camera library, thats what zadas told me,
so we need to decompile a so file type I think, there are tools in linux for that
there is file for exposure in libs, I really appreciate your help with this, please guide me
and I think hardware support it, because there are photos taken by one plus one at 30s,
thanks for your time

{Q/Req} Nokia 8 unlimited or 10sec shutter speed app.

Hello there , as you open this thread , you should at least know that Nokia 8 camera is a pretty darn good , espicially in Live bokeh mode .
But i have been bummed that the camera itself with OIS , is capped at (0.5 s shutter speed at camera app , 0.7 s at adobe lightroom) . This is not enough , we need the ability to take better low light pictures. So i request from the devs to make an app (99% sure it would require root) that unlocks the 0.7s barrier , like the Zero Camera Mod of the Galaxy S8
I think that is a great idea. Would love to see an app like this. :good:
