[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.

Can you attach media_profiles.xml with your settings ?

Wouldn't it still be easier to use another camera apps?
Someone mentioned IgCamera before, very nice app.

Can Tasker Turn on Screen Mirroring?

I have tried doing searches but it seems there is no way I have found yet to get Tasker to turn on Screen Mirroring. I found a app that provided a plug-in for ChromeCast but that did not seem to enable Screen Mirroring.
Anyone manage to get Tasker to toggle Screen Mirroring?
Thanks in advance.

AutoCast plugin (I'm assuming that's the one you're referring to) definitely lets you cast your screen. Check it again.

Yes, AutoCast was the one I tried. It did not seem to work. Perhaps I had it configured wrong? I will try it again.
Reading more, perhaps AutoInput is what I need. Researching further...

I use tasker to turn on screen mirroring (Samsung Smart View)
My car has a screenbeam mini2 dongle attached to my radio. When Tasker sees my BT attach, it turns on screen mirroing.
1. Install Tasker
2. Restore the attached backup, I first made an empty backup to have tasker create/write to the backup location, and then I overwrote it with the attached xml and restored it. Make a backup of what you have (if needed) and then restore this file so you can see how it is done. It needs 'Secure Settings' app (with root)
3. Install Secure Settings
4. You need SYSTEM+ enabled (to make it request root, add a empty file /system/bin/su if needed to have the app see root)
To have cast auto-retry, have only one device in your cast list. When it sees only one device, it auto-retries while the screen beam boots up.
See my demo here - https://youtu.be/hwzIRj7YI_o

Thank you for posting this. I tried it but Tasker provides an error when the above is restored. I put this through an XML checker and it shows errors. Seems to have some extra spaces embedded, which are easy to correct. But when I import, the is an ! next to the profile and task.
Is this have an extra space?
<com.twofortyfouram.locale.intent.extra.BLURB>ca st (Root)
EDIT - once I edit the above to "cast" within Tasker itself, this does work!

I know this is old but did you ever get a solution?

Yes, the post by Horem does work if you take care of the small edit I point out above. Works very well.

Thank you for your response but I was looking for a solution that uses chromecast screen mirroring function and not miracast. Doesn't the solution above use miracast?

Automatically change Wallpaper

Here is a video I made explaining how to automatically change wallpaper on android with tasker.
https:// + youtu.be + /C7eazbrOBK4 (I can't post links since I'm a new user )
Steps:
1. Copy all photos into one folder.
2. Batch rename them to be in some order (eg: w_0.jpg, w_1.jpg, w_2.jpg, ... etc.). This can be done with solid explorer or es file explorer.
3. Open Tasker and select new task. Name it "Auto Wallpaper" or any other name you want.
4. Click on "+" and search for "Variable randomise" an select it. Set variable as "%Num", min to whatever your minimum value is "0" and max to the number on the last wallpaper. i.e if the last one says "w_36.jpg" set max to 36.
5. Go back and click on plus again. This time search for wallpaper and select "Set Wallpaper". For the file link click on the search button on top of it and browse and select one of the photos in the wallpaper folder.
6. The path will be something like "/downloads/wallpapers/w_0.jpg" . Replace the number with "%Num" (i.e "w_0.jpg" -> "w_%Num.jpg"). Also tick "Scale" and "Crop"
7. We are done with the task and now it's time to make a profile. Go to profile tab and click on "+" and create a new time based profile. Give the time when you want this profile to be active and then select "Repeat" and set the interval you want to change the wallpapers.
8. That's it! You're done. Enjoy!

How do we at stop some of the photos going on there side.

Ticking both scale and crop is the best thing you can do. I tried to see if there will be any difference if I normally apply it from gallery, but it gave the same result. I think it is the default behaviour. I kinda liked it so left it as it is.
At the end of the day, I'm not really sure. If anyone can figure it out it'll help. I'll try and see what I can do.

I made a profile that does that a while ago and redesigned it yesterday.
Change the directories to your liking.
They also look for new wallpapers in a subfolder (.toadd) and rename them automatically.

I had made an improvised version of the task by using the list files option giving output variable array %files and setting the max value as the length of the array obtained in the previous action("%files(#)") as the maximum value in the randomizer which outputs a variable %rand . Then set a varialble %wall to %files(%rand) and set wallpaper to %wall. Doesn't require me to change the name of the picture or update the max value whenever I add a picture.

Using your task, I have to change the file name and max number in Variable Randomize action every time I add a new file to my wallpapers folder.
this task, it doesn't have above drawback. But it changes only home-screen wallpaper and I can't set it to lock-screen or both.
Do you know how to do that?
EDIT: Found it! https://www.abhisek.info/blog/tasker-profile-random-wallpapers/

There is no set wallpaper in tasker. Did they remove it, or is it hidden somewhere. Tasker android 1l0, 2021.

Magisk Module HELP - Please

Hello guys im trying from long time to understand why Gcam no matter from the version the slow motion never worked on HTC 10 and i think is related to the media_profiles.xml because we miss some important lines in order the Slow Motion to work properly.
Anyway sometimes when the things go wrong and edit manually the Media xml file i can recive a nasty bootlopp and in order to not repeat the same all the times
can anyone who is familiar with Magisc create a simple module?! for test purpose.
This lines to be added to the Media_profiles.xml
No mater from the Buld you know that the Gcam always crash and force close when you switch to Slow Motion
But only with this MOD magisk module
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-gcam-patch-t3677993
In every build ive try i was able to switch to Slow Mo without a crash also im able to press the button of recorder and i saw the sign 120 FPS under slow motion the problem is that for now the VIEWER freeze and im not able to record a video.
But this module only add some lines in the media_presets xml so thats why i think we are close and im sure is something related just for the xml file something in our HTC 10 is different in that media profiles xml and we need to find out what exactly!
I think the GCAM cant read the seeting correctly from the XML if they are not corectly set or writen.
for example in my Media profiles by default the SLOW MOTION is missing but this dont preven the Stock HTC CAM to record slow mo maybe we have to add this in order if we want to make GCAM to work as well
If you wish chek your media_profiles.xml do u have something similar i think this is the correct lines that we are missing and have to add this line but because im tired of bootlops if im wrong everytime im looking for methood how to use it like a MODULE and in case something went wrong to be able to revert back to stock.
In the magisk module above some of the lines are incorrect and maybe thats why the view freeze
and think this are the correct we all have to add.

I think this is the missing part for the Slow Motion to work properly on HTC 10 and few other devices as well, because we by default don`t have that config in our media profiles.
Will be very thankfull.
Thanks

Hi
I have a xiaomi mi a1 and have the same problem. Even with the module you refered slow motion crashes gcam.
I've tried one other module here https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-hevc-60fps-slomo-gcam-op3t-5-t3666287 and I can film at 120frames but it's laggy (filming and playing). I think it's because it is specific for those models.
I also would like to try a module that only adds the necessary lines to media_profiles.xml, but I don't know how to do it.
Did you try to talk with the gcam module creator to see if he can try to do one like you describe?
regards

Question Touch sampling rate

I have downloaded an app called touch sampling rate checker and my Moto Edge 20 only shows a rate of 90-117hz regardless of screen refresh rate setting, however when using the same app on my mi11 it shows a constant 250hz and the mi 11 seems smoother in Twitter and Facebook etc am I missing something here?

Touch sampling rate and refresh rate are two different things. If you want a refresh rate checker, you can find it in developer options.

Yeah I get that but I thought this phone has a 576hz touch sample rate? Unless the app is inaccurate ?

Not sure about the app, maybe try a different one.

You have to enable game mode for individual apps for max touch sampling rate to be enabled.

Unfortunately I already did that and the maximum I see is 250hz. Where have the 576hz they said gone?

So that means that the value is dynamic up to 576hz. nothing to worry about then

Android apps dont usually report the correct sampling rate. Connect the phone through USB to a PC and run through ADB run the commands: "Adb shell getevent -r -t -l" and then start swiping on the display. It should report the correct sampling rate.

That ADB thing really helped. Now I can see the real use of touch sensitivity. From the huge list that came out I could see a maximum of 473hz. So the capability that Motorola offers is installed.

It varies on how fast you can drag your finger across the screen. I'm sure that if you drag it fast enough you'll hit 576Hz.

Yes, I was able to notice that. When I made a simple contact, the response barely reached 100hz, but if I made aggressive contacts, the response was quite high.

I just found out by experimenting Game Turbo:
1. Add your Game App/ Touch Tester App to game mode/turbo
2. Enable Auto Rotation mode (Portrait / Landscape mode)
3. Rotate ur Phone to Landscape even if the app doesnt support it
4. Touch the Screen while in Landscape and see the result Increases to Max Touch Rate
Follow what i said. I want to see the result.

Thanks for the tip man I was freaking out with my Xiaomi 11T Pro who supposedly have 480hz sampling rate screen and was just getting 250hz tops within checker apps, until I run them through Gaming Mode as you suggested with Pro mode enabled and YES the sampling rate wen above 500hz tops.
So the range is dynamic? Supposedly to save battery I guess?
Regardless thanks!
