Thanx to all for the compliments, very much appreciated 8)

of coz this is good, but what is the disadvantages of this?

Not to much hopefully, definately a reduced memory card capacity tho as files are BIG.
Still working out the best bitrate to use for video recording, I think 720p could be reduced by half 8mb as it makes almost zero difference to quality imho, what do you think?

Oh my, you actually did it . Awesome work.
Only problem is that now I have to flash away from cm7 to check it out .
I'm pleasantly surprised the hardware is actually capable of it.

didnt work at cm, get fc

but... where's the download link?

Just replaced the default Camere with this one in my roms, thanks

Thank you, what is exactly name the folder? Where i put this modded apps? I can´t search system folder.

I'm just getting an fc when trying to run the camera app.. Which exact rom are you running?

All I want is just haven auto focus while recording.

[MOD] Stock camera mod LG GB V20e/i/j/l: No shutter sounds & improved Pic/Vid quality

[MOD] Stock camera mod LG GB V20e/i/j/l: No shutter sounds & improved Pic/Vid quality
Hi folks,
I modded the stock LG Camera-app and implemented new features.
Every improvement (except 16:[email protected]) is working seamlessly with this mod. Please find the list of improvements below.
I also included the "media_profiles.xml" in the package.
V1.0 is based on V20e and can be used up to V20e.
V2.x is based on V20l and can be used from V20i onwards.
Please find the modded camera apps attached to this post. Enjoy!
Installation Instructions:
Flash the attached zip with CWM ("install zip from sd-card" --> "choose zip from sd-card").
I modded the following (in every version of the mod):
Disabled shutter & AF sounds (picture & video) - timer sounds are still enabled (on purpose --> no change!)
Increased preview fps to 40 (--> reduced page tearing)
Picture quality:
Set normal picture quality to 80 (= 20% compression)
Set fine picture quality to 90 (= 10% compression)
Set superfine picture quality to 100 (= 0% compression)
Video quality 1080p:
Set FPS from 24 to 30 (varies a little, similar to stock LG app)
Set normal video quality from 5Mbps to 7Mbps (= fine in stock LG app)
Set fine video quality from 7Mbps to 12Mbps
Set superfine video quality from 9Mbps to 17Mbps
Video quality 720p:
Set normal video quality from 2Mbps to 4Mbps (= superfine in stock LG app)
Set fine video quality from 3Mbps to 9Mbps
Set superfine video quality from 4Mbps to 14Mbps
Additional changes in the V2.x (V20l) mod are the following:
Changed 5MP picture resolution to 6MP 16:9 (3264 x 1840) - Implemented additional preview setting logic; AR not correct yet! trying to fix it.
Increased video bit rate for VGA (improves esp. quality of videos recorded by the front cam):
- Superfine from 1.5 Mbps to 5 Mbps
- Fine from 1.2 Mbps to 3 Mbps
- Normal from 768 kbps to 1.5 Mbps
Persistent flash mode setting (i.e. last flash mode is being saved; default mode is off)
DCF compliance (adopted DCF requirements like directory- and filenames)
Storage path changed to "DCIM/CAMERA/" (DCF compliant)
Removed closing/ not starting on low battery (still shows a toast to remind you on your low charge though)
Shutter-sound menu adjusted/ fixed (only option now: "Off")
Several changes in German translations
Modded further resources
Additional changes in V2.1:
Increased video bit rate for 1080p:
- Superfine: 20Mbps
- Fine: 17Mbps
- Normal: 12Mbps
Increased audio bit rate to 128kbps for 1080p and 720p
Increased audio sampling rate to 44.1kHz for 1080p and 720p
Persistent focus mode setting (focus mode is being saved)
Persistent GPS setting (GPS mode is being saved)
Music keeps on playing (removed auto-pause music on app start)
Implemented ODEX fix for odexed roms (Camera.odex is being deleted automatically)
Fixed DCF compliance for video filenames (missing underscore)
ToDo:
Fix AR for 16:9 @ 6MP
Adjust preview size for 16:9 pictures
Optimize code for better performance
The rest is still stock.
PS:
1. If you have a darker icon for your camera app, then update script worked like it should!
2. If this is useful for you, hit the "Thanks" button on the lower right!
3. If you cook this mod in your rom, please give proper reference to this thread in the list of included features and in your change log!

yeaaaaaaaaaaah, thank you very much

Froyo compatible?

Installed it succesfully on 20e, but i can not see any difference in quality. Blown up the fotos taken before and after the mod, but no difference at all.
What should be the improvement, i ask myself.

Main differences are on video mode. Original LG couldn't take very high quality/bitrates video in high resolutions...
Very nice thing to have this plus stock features as panoramic images for example (not present in CM 7).
Great and fast job!!!

If you compare just few pics, you probably won't see a difference. But technically speaking there is quite a difference (jpeg compression i.e. picture quality was changed from 90 to 100 in superfine setting - if you're familiar with image editing of any sort, you know what I'm talking about). You can use fine/ normal quality to limit file sizes though.
Additionally picture quality is just one (small) part, video quality (incl. fps) and removed shutter & auto-focus sounds the other

Hi,
thanks for that mod!!
But i have a question. Is it possible to increase the fps for 720p for getting good slowmotions?
thx

@AndiCP
Is there a chance to add "touch to focus" in video recording ? or some autoF in camcorder?

I'll try that in the next few days, but I think it won't work due to limitation in the kernel (max fps=30, otherwise reverting to standard fps).

Let me see what I can do. Constant AF is not a target for me though, as the only effect would be AF-pumping (AF constantly analyzing the whole focus range to get the sharpest picture).

Possible future to do list:
-Option to pause video while recording, similar to Nokia N8 feature.
-Enhance tweak for Photo quality higher bitrate.
Is possible? Tks

And it could be very useful an option to take 16:9 pictures.
Nice work guys!

Further Development
Picture quality (in terms of compression) is maxed already.
Pause mode is not possible, because it is not implemented in the API (only start & stop are).
Same goes for a non-pumping AF during video recording (not supported by API).
But I have 16:9 format for pictures and a 60 FPS mode for 720p on my list
Let's see when I can find some time to play with it...I'll keep you updated.

question...will this mod work if i'm using a CM7 or should i use this with a stock rom ?

Great!!! Thx a lot!

Thanks! Working perfectly with the 20E version!

is it ok with v20c leak GB ? because i used Flair GB v3 rom atm..
update: tested already.. it's fine.. looks better for video as not lagging as before..

720p60 would be good, but 1080p24 would be very welcome too. And, I guess, easier to make

Thanks for this great Mod
The 16:9 will be amazing feature as it is a lot better to watch pics in 16:9 dipslay, which became a standard
The 720p at 60 fps will give some nice effects

[Q] Video Recording on CyanMobile

hi, after installing CyanMobile to my phone. I tried to examine the camera, and the result is a video recording quality is up to VGA resolution (640X480) but the framerate was still not maximal (still 8fps). is there a way to maximize the framerate to 30fps?

just use other camera apps.. lgcamera would be the best option if you want 30 fps..

hah
The best way is edit media_profiles.xml (system/etc/media_profiles.xml)
end change this line (high)
<EncoderProfile quality="high" fileFormat="mp4" duration="30">
<Video codec="h263"
bitRate="2000000"
width="640"
height="480"
frameRate="30" />
Now camera records 640x480 and 29,9 fps.

Take photos when the light is low, the default camera will give low resolution. And this will give higher image resolution should look clearer.

My experience is the Gcam apps don't use the camera config xml, only the oem camera app that comes with the lgv30. The Gcam ports, some of them, have 'night vision', which work very well in low light shots.

How would one even apply this to the default camera?

That would depend on your phones setup, but, most have rooted devices with magisk installed. If that's the case for you, then you'd have to have a magisk module that would 'seamlessly' make the changes in your root directory.
In this link I created a module for the 4k video 60fps change. It would be pretty easy for someone to modify the config xml in that module and apply this change.
cheers

Would it be as simple as deleting the folders containing media details XML and replacing the camera config with this one?

How To Guide [ROOT] Realme GT2 Audio recording quality mod (magisk module)

I've made a mod to improve the audio quality in videos recorded with the camera. For me, it sounds much better than stock. If you try it, let me know what you think.
Installing it requires root and magisk:
1. Download GT2RecQualityMod[version].zip on the phone,
2. Open magisk,
3. Go to modules,
4. Click "install from storage",
5. Choose the file,
6. Reboot,
7. Test with stock camera.
This is my first attempt and it's tested only on my Realme GT2 (RMX3311/GDPR), Android 13 firmware C.10 and C.12, and with just the apps I have on my phone. If some apps don't work or the audio sounds like without the mod, please let me know.
Latest versions:
----------- GT2RecQualityMod1.2.zip -----------
- Updated recording profiles used by the Recorder app with improved loudness and clarity
- The rest is the same as in v1.1
----------- GT2RecQualityMod1.1.zip -----------
- Based on lvimfs (audio parameters like NS, EQ, Compresor etc.), with manual tuning of parameters in /odm/etc/lvimfs_params/LVIMFS_Parameter_ID4_MIC_Cam.txt
- I've disabled some audio processors like EQ's, Compressor, Limiter - that are not configured correctly
- Activated Wind Noise Suppression - and it works amazing! Tested by blowing into the mic )
----------- GT2RecQualityMod1.zip -----------
- Based on raw mic quality, it disables lvimfs (audio parameters like NS, EQ, Compresor etc.)
To Do: get rid of white/static noise without losing volume

Thanks for sharing, it's only replacing mixer_paths.xml and audio_platform_info.xml, right?
And a question wizard:
Would it be possible to copy the parameters or files from a custom rom for GT2 e.g. PixelOS, if that has good audio recording, or would it f*k something rom/device specific up?
Here are backups from my GT2 - RMX3311_11.C.10_EU_202303171905 if anyone needs, in /system/vendor/etc
Stock Camera got louder, but introduced noise.
Your Gcam Mod sounds the best, it's a bit quieter but 0 noise.

To adjust the volumes (mic sensitivity) you can edit mixer_paths.xml from the zip file. Search "handset-stereo-dmic-switch" and modify the marked values from below. Reinstall the module and reboot.
or
The working xml files are in /odm/etc those from system/vendor are not used by android anymore. You can edit them directly, after installing the Magisk module.
If you like to try the xml files from a custom rom (GT2 specific) you can replace mixer_paths.xml and audio_platform_info.xml located in /data/adb/modules/GT2RecQualityMod/odm-files/ and restart. files from odm-files are linked (mirrored) with those from /odm/etc
<!-- Lucian: here is the configuration set for camera apps. -->
<path name="handset-stereo-dmic-switch">
<!-- Lucian: added some options to play with volumes -->
<ctl name="TX_DEC1 Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="TX_DEC2 Volume" value="84" />
...
...
...
<!-- Lucian: this also affect the volumes -->
<ctl name="ADC1 Volume" value="18" />
<ctl name="ADC4 Volume" va lue="18" />
</path>

Will do, i have tried the PixelOS ones, to save some time - the result is pretty much the same, louder with introduction of noise.
/here:

Can you attach those from PixelOS? I'll like to take a look

New release: GT2RecQualityMod1.1.zip
based on tuning the parameters of
/odm/etc/lvimfs_params/LVIMFS_Parameter_ID4_MIC_Cam.txt
- added and configured wind noise suppression / canceling
There are a lot of options in there, but not documented anywhere. I think the files are generated by "Qualcomm audio calibration tool" that requires license...
Qualcomm did something amazing with lvimfs_params, that allows the developer to tune every aspect of audio recording but Realme developers didn't care to do something good with this technology
If someone would like to contribute to the improvement of the audio quality, please give it a try! If we could remove the static noise it will be awesome, I think modifying the EQ to lower the static noise frequencies will help.
Regarding lvimfs_params, what I've learned so far:
lines containing "Operating Mode"
enables/disables that feature, like
0 // LVAC_LVAC_InputEq_OperatingMode disables the input equalizer, 1 enables it;
the following lines containing _InputEq_ are parameters like gain, band, frequency etc. that changes the aspects of recording.
There is no documentation, is just trials.
For changes to apply a reboot is required, maybe restarting service will be faster, but I don't know which one...
Have fun!

Have a much better sound obviously! I see one user did bitrate up mod, could you merge your mode plus 320kbps modification. Thank you!
Link

It is on my list, it won't improve much of the quality still. Now I'm more preoccupied on reducing the static noise. It will be included in the next release.

New release:
GT2RecQualityMod1.2.zip
- Updated recording profiles used by the Recorder app with improved loudness and clarity
- The rest is the same as in v1.1
Could not find a way to change the audio bitrate, if someone knows what file is responsible please help, I've tested all media_profiles(_V1_0).xml that I've found and none of them worked...

I played around with trying to get the Bitrate up but just managed to destroy Video Recording, so just as a pointer in my case only changing the Bitrates in the various recording <EncoderProfiles> in "media_profiles.xml" did not work.

I want to report some strange behavior. I face the problem with this mod on some applications. First, I'm on RUI C12 EU, with stock camera, I recorded three videos in a row and all of them have broken audio, the issue is feel like microphone have gain boost +30db sound was capped and distorted. The second app is element(chat/voice) when i try to record voice face again same problem. I will attach some samples to understand better.
When I disable the mod the issue still presents, only when remove the mod audio is stock/"fine".

@b0nb0n3v Something is wrong, but I don't know what... Do you have other magisk modules installed that could change mixer_paths.xml or lvimfs_params? Maybe they are conflicting.
I've attached a sample of how it sounds on my device. Stock camera, mod v1.2:

I have andreno gpu drivers and systemless host in the past i tried mixer_paths.xml for 320kbps mod but with no difference I decide to remove it. Could this mod couse this bug, it's removed long time ago? The problem is always when the sound/speech is lound on quiet place or low sound recording is fine. Tia
