hello there mi mix 2 lovers
I have found a solution to a problem that most of you know. :laugh:
The problem of our beloved mi mix 2 device or any xiaomi phone recording low quality audio while recording video.
possibly it's because of the agressive noise cancelation
While recording on the default app on miui (I think on every rom too but I am not sure tell me if I am wrong)
Anyway there is a trick to get that good audio
1) Download a free app called (Hi-Q free) it's a recording audio app
2) Download open camera it's a camera app
3) Mute audio in open camera settings
4) In Hi-Q app set it to +15 db gain (but it depends) , wav format and mic selection unprocesed raw.
5) tap record on Hi-Q and the record with open camera
6) then synchronize them in post with any video editing program I used premiere pro on PC but kinemaster on Android is my favorite for editing on the go but you can use whatever you like
7) enjoy the good quality
It's alot of work for recording a video on your phone but the quality you get it's amazing and if you're into recording musical instruments or videos on YouTube it's a must
I have prepared a video comparison showing the default camera app and open camera muted with (Hi-Q free) recording app.

If xiaomi will ever update fix this bug it would be awesome.
I speak in Greek there but who cares :silly:
Hi, thank you for the workaround!
I would like to understand if the low audio quality is due only to a bad noise cancellation algorithm or if microphones aren't that great either: I listened to the audio in your samples and it seems much better with the workaround, but since you mentioned "recording musical instruments", did you try to test it in a very loud environment like a concert? Many phones with low quality microphones just get their audio saturated in these occasions and the result is awful, could you tell anything about it related to the Mi Mix 2?
Thank you
That is a very good workaround.
However, I was wondering if the official MIUI devs care about the problem and are working on it. I am on the stock global ROM and happy so far, I dont want to flash Lineage just to bypass this problem.
Maybe I will open up a thread at the official MIUI site, there have to be a lot of people with this problem and maybe they will work on it then.
I had this problem too on my Redmi 4 Pro. It seems like this is a problem of MIUI itself?
Solution for bad audio recording
Hi, testing a lot i find how to rec very good audio with the mi mix 2, works on every app that i trying to record videos.
my english is very bad, i will try the help you guys.
I try this in latest global rom and latest lineage OS.
This only work with ROOT.
Step 1.
with a root file explorer Delete all media_profile and mixer_path files in System/etc and System/vendor/etc
Step 2.
Global ROM
Place in System/Vendor/etc the atached files mixer_paths_tasha.xml and media_profile_vendor.xml
Lineage OS
Place in System/Vendor/etc the atached files mixer_paths_tasha.xml and media_profile_v1_0.xml
Change the permissions of both files to rw- r-- r--
Step 3
Edit your /System/build.prop file like i did in te file "cambio.jpg" compare with your build.prop and change to "true" all the lines that you find different. i mark in red the important ones, but i change others lines of false to true.
I dondt attach that file because in every update you will have to change again that lines in build.prop, and make again step 1 and step 2.
Step.4
Reboot the phone and enjoy
if the audio is too quiet for you, you can edit the mixer_path_tasha.xml, find this lines at the begining of the file
<ctl name="DEC5 Volume" value="86" />
<ctl name="DEC6 Volume" value="86" />
change 86 to a higher value and test by yourself, this is for my own use, i like to rec rock concerts and loud envoirements
If someone with better english want to make a better guide i have no problem, i figure this solution testing a lot of times with a lot of smartphones. the only thing, thanks me haha
Looks promising. But its not a thing for me since I am on a locked bootloader and dont want to unlock it yet.
But the best solution would be if Xiaomi would simply fix this, and I dont understand whats the problem there or if they just dont care (which i cant imagine).
YES!!!!
This totally works!
Thank you!!!!
This has been my main complaint with this phone.
Thanks for the fix!
Also for me works good...thanks
To adjust the sound level is it just
<ctl name="DEC5 Volume" value="86" />
<ctl name="DEC6 Volume" value="86" />
or also DEC 0 thru 8?

Install busybox
Seems that I have to unlock the bootloader and root the phone. Nothing I am happy about, since the phone ran awesome out of the box and now the tinkering starts again, like in the good old days with all the other android phones I owned
This device is so great, even with the global official ROM, but why has it this one problem?
I found another workaround, you can use openCamera and only set the audio channel to mono and the recording device to standard/default. Then the audio is a lot better.
The MIUI recording app can also record in high quality if you set it to Music. Noise cancellation seems to be disabled then.

THIS MOD DOES NOT WORK ON OREO
First off
- your device has to be rooted / or at least have TWRP working to move the file
- you probably have to be on the latest OxygenOS Android 7.1.1 Beta for this to work
- the videos will be recorded with the latest Google Camera App:
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...amera-4-3-016-147548696-android-apk-download/
- you will be able to record slowmotion video in 720p with sound
- you will be able to edit the video with Google Photos and to manually set the desired area which is played in slowmotion, the other area will play in full motion, just like on the iPhone for example!
How-to
1.) Download this file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kt0pa3ks8b1lzpy/media_profiles.xml?dl=0
2.) put it into root/system/etc and overwrite the existing file
3.) set the correct permissions! rw-r--r-- (0644)
4.) reboot your device
5.) install the linked Google Camera, start it, go into Slowmotion mode
6.) open the Video from within the Google Photos App and edit it...
7.) Have fun!
I only stumbled across this just now, so I only got to test it on my OP3 with Beta12 Android 7.1.1.
I don't know if this works on older Betas or the latest stable build, so don't ask me.
But you are welcome to share your experience with us if you try it on other builds.
Keep in mind that the linked Google Camera version will only work on Android 7.1.1!
Here is a quick sample video I took which shows you how the video can be edited in Google Photos:
The sound is actually as good as always while playing it in full-speed in Google Photos and respectively "worse" in slowmotion,
which has to be expected in my opinion. At least it is much better than slowmotion without any sound, which is the reason I newer touched this feature in the past.
For the long explanation on how I found out about this:
I was already testing the latest Google Camera for Android 7.1.1 after flashing Beta 12 and unfortunately the slowmotion mode crashed immediately each time.
Today I stumbled over this commit for the OP3/3T on LineageOS:
https://review.lineageos.org/#/c/163935/
https://review.lineageos.org/#/c/163935/1/configs/media_profiles.xml
It adds these lines to the existing media_profiles.xml:
Code:
<!-- CAMCORDER_QUALITY_HIGH_SPEED_HIGH/720P : [email protected]; 27.0 Mbps -->
<EncoderProfile quality="highspeedhigh" fileFormat="mp4" duration="30">

This commit is meant to make slowmotion work on the latest Google Camera on LineageOS.
I thought to myself, why not add this code to the file provided in OxygenOS.
What can I say, It just works! The file provided above is taken from OOS Beta 12.
I just added the mentioned code from the spoiler.
I also think 1080p slowmotion with sound should be possible when we can already record [email protected]!
Great , works like a charm .
??????
Nice post, well explained. It would be nice to unlock 240fps too, but I highly doubt that's gonna happen.
Can the video encoding be changed to h.265?
Does this affect the existing OnePlus Camera?

No, it still works as before. It also still fails to record audio in slowmotion mode.
is there any chance to get it implemented into the oneplus camera apk?

I can confirm that this also works on 7.0. I.e on 4.0.x oxygen os rom.
Thanks for the tip bro.
Camera and video recording works for me, but slow mo force closes the app. Followed all instructions. Not sure what "overwrite the existing file" means. What file are we talking about overwriting? Are we changing names of it? I also noticed I'm at 644 not 0644, none of the options I clicked added a zero in front.

720P On OnePlus 3 and 3T.This is really a great news for all OnePlus 3 and 3T users.
@AcmE85
First of All I would like to give you a medal. Thx you so much for this. OnrPlus 3/3T is so strong that can have so much good features in camera. Too bad that OnePlus team dont work on it.
I have some question:
1. Please can you make record with 240fps slowmotion?
2. You say somethong about 1080p at 120fps? Can you do that?
3. And what about make slowmotion better video quality, to add more bitrate?
For all this and more camera features Im ready to pay.
One more time Thx you a LOT!

You're welcome. I did not really code anything myself though.
1. I think the camera sensor does not even support 240fps
2. I did say 1080p at 60 fps. Sorry but both the stock OOS Camera and Google Camera are closed source and I'm no dev.
3. You could try to manually raise the bitrate inside the xml file. In terms of brightness there is nothing than can be done though.
Slowmotion recordings will always be darker compared to regular videos because of the higher framerate.
More fps means the sensor has less time per frame to capture light. A higher shutter-speed when you compare this to photos.

My friend,
I can tell you that crDroid ROM for OnePlus 3/3T have modified camera that can record 240fps at 720p.
So please can you take it from that rom and make it work for stock?
Here is Youtube proof video:
Go on 2minit and you will see 240fps at 720p.
@isko01
I'm at work right now but will take a look later...
If you want to help then please provide me the media_profiles.xml from mentioned crdroid.
edit: I've tried editing the xml to enable 240 fps but it did not work. Nothing I can do as I can't modify the apps to record with 240 fps.
I also suspect missing camera libs for 240 fps in OxygenOS. I won't flash CrDroid to test this out or find the missing pieces though.
If you want to help with this mod feel free to ask the CrDroid Dev how he managed to enable 240 fps recording.
I can only repeat that I am no dev, so anything which involves real coding is beyond my knowledge.

Hi all,
I introduce you to the first release of LePro3 sound modification. This modification makes your LePro 3 sounds a lot better with AOSP,Lineage ROM. It will give you clear voice on handset and speaker, no distortion. Also this build will give you good lowers (bass). I made the sound mod ready to flash via TWRP.
After installation please make sure you have this values on build.prop:
ro.vendor.audio.sdk.fluencetype=fluence
persist.vendor.audio.fluence.voicerec=true
persist.vendor.audio.fluence.speaker=true
use.voice.path.for.pcm.voip=true

Hi. This will work if I have Dolby Atmos working? I`m on latest AICP Oreo 8.1 official, by the way...
Thank you. Great job
Tried it with the latest experimental aicp. Unless it was a coincidence, it broke my ability to listen to Google play music through a cdla adapter and my ability to record voice texts through the signal messaging app. When I copied the original etc folder back to root to revert the changes both my issues we're fixed following a reboot. Maybe it's because I didn't install it through recovery. I just took the files from the zip and moved them which seems easier.

the quality and clarity is great but we need some dev to get their hands on this mod to adjust the volumes of notifications etc .. the potentials of this mod are noticeable but we need to adjust the volumes.
I edited the mixer_paths.xml to fix the low headphone volume on MiA2 and created a magisk module since manual editing doesn't work.
It works on Pie March update. May not work on other versions.
Use it at your own risk. It is LOUD. Listening at a high volume for a long time may damage hearing.
Edit: Updated to V10.0.5.0
Thanks man! Its working great??

Well, the problem is we can't just edit the file on the phone. Editing doesn't make any difference and the phone reverts it. Magisk is the only way right now.
I have a request if you don't mind, I have limited experience in these config files.
One thing that bothers me about this phone is the audio quality in the videos it takes. The audio sampling rate is currently set to 96 kb/s which is extremely low for a phone made in 2018.
I have tried to edit it to 256 kb/s in the media_profile files under the vendor folder and flashed it with magisk but it is still stuck to the low quality setting. Any ideas?
Thank you
Thank you so much for this module. Works perfectly ?
Thanks @onbeskarakterli

I tried several times before with no luck...I tried to change selinux as well to permissive but even that reverts back after a while. Why it works only with magisk? BTW it's great you already put it to 88 so it covers everyone's needs

Manually changing doesn't work. You can't even save the changes you make. AFAIK Magisk virtually mounts system and vendor partitions and applies its own files and changes at boot time. That's why it works.
To be honest 88 is really high. I am using 85 right now, but I don't have any high impedance headphones.

What about the other media profiles files? What are they used for?
I assume the other profiles are for the different headphones and audio effects under settings>sounds>advanced. Correct me if I'm wrong

The mod does work through. Check out your /system/vendor/etc/media_profiles file when the module is active.

Yes the file is changed and it's set to 288000 now, but the audio quality in the videos are still horrible. I tried gcam, opencam, nothing works. I'm on pie 10.0.1
FooxMagisk Alpha[ v0.2.2/SIZE]
×WHO:
FxM is aimed at Android users in search of an easy way to capture system or internal sounds (systemless-ly), and on Android versions past Lollipop. By installing my module users will no longer need to worry about background noise from their environment.
×WHAT:
FooView, an app by fvalpha, comes from the same dev behind ES File Explorer nearly a decade ago. Development is ongoing, but in essence, FV supplies the user with a range of controls outside of screen recording. Be sure to visit their thread.
×WHY:
Some time ago someone inquired about the possibility, which led us to trying other means before quitting. Recently I found FV and gave it a spin. Plus, others are frustrated by the absence of native recording on most devices. Whilst I've experimented with other techniques on Oreo & Pie, none come close.
×HOW:
The real reason you're here! First of all, in order use this module I strongly recommend Magisk 18+. It was used on 18, so can't guarantee the results on older versions. If there's demand, a test for 17 can be made.
×Prerequisites:
- Magisk 18+
- Grab fooView Play Store
- Download/Install FxM module from below
×Links
- All Releases
×Steps:
- Follow above
- Reboot after installing
- Check app info (foo can now be disabled, instead of uninstalled)
- Open foo -> Settings -> Advanced settings -> Dev Mode -> Enable "root for screenshots" -> Grant -> Enable "Record internal"
- Enable little MIC icon BEFORE recording
- Adjust media volume to < 40% (Volume bug on some devices)
×Credits:
- @fvalpha - Developer of fooView
- @topjohnwu - Magisk
- @ahrion - Unity Installer
- @Zackptg5 - Unity Installer
×Bugs
- Using high volume creates a tick sound on certain devices
- If Module is installed FIRST the app will crash constantly
×Revision History
v0.1a - Jan 18, 2019 - Initial Release (Unity v3.1 + 0.9.9.9)
v0.2.2a - Jan 21, 2019 - (Unity v3.2 + Perms fixed)
v0.2.3a - Jan 25, 2019 - (Removed unnecessary perms)
×Compatibility:
- LOS 15.1 (8.1)
- AICP 13 (8.1)
- AICP 14 (9.0)
×Devices:
- Le Pro 3
- Moto Z2
- Whyred
- Pocophone F1
Further testing is necessary to extend this list
×FAQ:
Q: Can I hear speaker audio whilst recording internal sounds?
A: No, not at this time. And likely never. It's a limitation in the API.
Q: Sound doesn't play when recording!
A: This is normal. Maybe simultaneous internal/external recording will be doable in Android Q.
Q: Fooview crashes!
A: This happens when Foo module is installed before the base app.
Q: Why is there no sound in my recording?
A: Turn on the microphone icon that's shown in fooview.
Q: Is root needed?
A: Yes!
Q: Watermark in videos?
A: This can be disabled in settings.

Did you follow all the steps? In foo there's a permission section, first 3 need to be enabled when installing the app. After rebooting only floating window is needed really.

Sound from the speaker stops whenever foo records. Make sure mic is enabled in the screen recorder, there's going to be a little mic icon. Like here:

No, because Android doesn't support system recording natively. You'd have to record your voice from another device and merge the waveforms. It's not possible to record MIC & system simultaneously, unless it's done on a Samsung or Xiaomi device.
This is meant for people that DON'T want sounds from their mic. Internal recording isn't possible without root after lollipop, and game audio from a microphone sounds awful.
Thanks! I am able to record internal audio, but unable to hear while recording:'(

It's a limitation of the the app at this time (fooview), not the module. I don't know if the Dev will add that functionality in the future. There's another Android app that can record internal sound, I'm trying to create a module for it too.

With school it'll take time for me to get around to it.
Only some Xiaomi phones feature it natively. I've heard of it being available on older devices like the Note 4.
Sorry to ask this basic question. Where is best use of this module. Can this be used alongside screen video recorder so that WhatsApp video calls can be recorded.

1. It's meant to record system audio. My buddy needs that for games. I guess there are other uses like recording calls, but I never considered it.
2. I've never tried this on WhatsApp, nor any app like it. I don't know if WA even allows recorders.
It only needs to be installed, nothing else it required.
excellent thread and mind blowing work, this is what i have been searching for since a long time, it works great but only problem is i can't hear anything while recording internal sound, but it records internal sound. well it works though !

There seems to be no way to achieve this on any Android version after LP (internal + MIC). Samsung, Xiaomi, and LG feature native recording in their skins so it's a different story. For example, my sister's Stylo can do both on Nougat.
For unknown reasons Google doesn't want apps to contain this functionality (also true of call recording apps). It's odd since Apple's position is the complete opposite...

The microphone is there. It's needed for internal audio, the speaker won't output any sound.
I prefer this one for its ability to alter FPS (25 - 60).

Since there was no fix, provided by Realme, for the quality of the audio in videos recorded with the stock camera app, and unlocking the bootloader is still not available for the RMX3311 (EU) the only way to improve the audio was to modify another camera app, without loosing stock camera features, like 60fps, stabilization, etc.
So, I've decompiled and modified the GCam port from SHAMIM (SGCAM) and changed the audio source from "Camcorder" to "Voice recognition" (see https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaRecorder.AudioSource), is not perfect but much better than stock.
I've also included the configuration xml for SGCAM 8.4 with basic settings for Realme GT2 so the quality of photos and videos be similar to the stock camera.
Working (after importing my config xml) :
- Back (main) camera: FHD videos 30/ 60fps, 4k 30fps, image quality equal to stock camera
- Improved sound quality in video recordings for front and back camera
- Front camera 60fps
Not working:
- Slow motion (works partially)
- Aux cameras (wide and macro)
- HDR+ or HDR+Enhanced if activated the colors are bad, inaccurate, too artificial. Can be improved but I personally like the results without hdr+, so I don't care to make them work.
I've created two builds because the recorded audio channels are reversed, (android 13, fw c.06), you can check using stock sound recorder, if you speak to top mic the sound plays on bottom speaker, mono for current situation (with reversed channels) and stereo for when (if) they will fix the channels order.
Install instructions:
1. Download the modified SGCAM from here:
mono: https://uploadnow.io/f/G4Ctrh7
or
stereo:
https://uploadnow.io/f/lJBRS1t
2. Download the Realme GT2 config file for SGCAM 8.4: Lcfg1.xml (attached to this post)
3. Install SGCAM, open once, allow permissions, (needed to create folders for configs)
4. Copy Lcfg1.xml to [phone internal storage]/SGCAM/XML/Lcfg1.xml
5. Import Lcfg1.xml by double tapping the blank space between shutter button and switch camera button (see the attached screenshot)
6. Leave a message if it helped you

Will test, nice work. Still angry at Realme for crippling the device like this.
This is sooooooooooo much better
In case if someone wonders, there is a xml for the GT 2 Pro, which the ultrawide camera works with, and it also works on our GT 2, but the picture quality is very low and noisy.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/gcam-for-realme-gt2-pro.4429173/post-87701663
It is in the attachments.
@hdavid1 For the aux cameras (wide and macro) to work you need GCAM, with package name com.ss.android.ugc.aweme But those have an issue, the photos taken with the main camera are shifted to the right (they have a black border on the left) - tested only on my GT2.

just tested that xml file and it's not working. My SGCAM build is not derived from the com.ss.android.ugc.aweme package, because of the reason posted above.

sry, tipped too fast, i have the realme gt 5g, and have the same issue as your phone but in my case i can open the bootloader and be root, but i dont know what i have to change to fix the mic issue(i saw i have to edit mixed_paths.xlm), honestly i dont care about video but about voice recording in general
post here your mixer_paths.xml and I'll have a look, I don't think it's the same as on the gt2
Have you tried out other Audio Sources and if that changes anything or is Voice Recognition the best for this device?
@smashda Yes I've tried them all, and voice recognition is the only one with acceptable results. Sources like unprocessed is too low, voice com. has too much noise canceling, etc.

@alex61194
*!!! have a backup so you can restore from custom recovery, just in case.
1.make sure you are editing mixer_paths.xml from /vendor/etc
2. modify the file according to the instructions from the screenshots.
3.after saving the file verify/set the permissions to be rw-r-r (like before)
4. reboot the phone, check if the modifications are still there
5. try a recording see if something changed. Do not expect to fix or improve something. This is just a test to see if we are on the right path.
6. tell me the results.
@wizard8400 bruh we have GT 2 Indian variant RMX3312 with an unlocked bootloader. We, unfortunately don't have TWRP. Can you give some suggestions?
@Ptathavi I think is possible with magisk:
first you need to flash a patched boot image (patched by magisk) to have root
and then something like: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/how-to-change-files-in-the-directory-system-with-magisk.4454489/
or try searching something like "edit system file with magisk"
