-No recording sound fix.
-Memory buffer increase for extra speed (no real impact)
-Audio bitrate increased from 64kbps to 128kbps for 720p, 96kbps for 1080p and sample rate increased from 22khz to 44khz for all bitrates - should fix crackling sound experienced by some.
-Increased (Variable) video quality for 1080p and 720p:
(Found under video quality in the menu for each resolution)
-1080P SUPER_FINE_ENCODER_BITRATE 9mb to 17mb
-1080P FINE_ENCODER_BITRATE 7mb to 14mb

-Attempt at brightness fix.
-Increased quality setting file size (doubled).
GPS fix/tweak for Australian residence:
-GPS_FasterFix_Oceania.zip
To install:
No need to rename the zip, just copy to sdcard, boot to CMW, select "install zip from sdcard" then select "choose zip from sdcard" and flash.
or
Extract the camera.apk from the required zip file, copy to memory card and use root explorer to delete current camera.apk file then copy to system/app folder.
Possible future to do list:
-Enable Continuous Autofocus in video recording option.
-Enhance tweak for Photo quality higher bitrate.
-Tweak custom camera options to stick once restarted stored here:
/data/data/com.android.camera/shared_prefs/arc_camera_prefs.xml
-60fps mod (should be interesting, aim is for 720p).
-Custom requests.
-Add user configurable settings in menu.
-Transparent menu?
-Fix for bottom black bar covering setting menu image in video mode.
-Raw image file format.
-Option to pause video while recording, similar to Nokia N8 feature.
Note:
-Reports state working with 64mb mod kernels, use compatible version Camera-1.1.3.4_22-64.zip.
-Currently only working for froyo/stock/modaco roms.
-Use Camera-1.1.3.4_22-64.zip if any1 is having audio issues with new build, 22khz/64kbps.
-GPS_FasterFix_Oceania.zip flash in CWM.
-3 builds:
Camera-1.1.3.4_44-128.zip - @ 17mb + highest quality audio 44khz/128kbps, (some have experienced crackling in recordings tho not myself).
Camera-1.1.3.4_44-96.zip - @ 17mb + Normal quality audio 44khz/96kbps, best compromise between avg fps and sound quality.
Camera-1.1.3.4_22-64.zip - @ 17mb + default stock audio 22khz/64kbps for original LG build + my tweaks.
Give credit to whom ever mods this if using in roms etc, if you wish to make a mod or help mod feel free to drop me a line and i can assist you.

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?

I can't see the download link.

somemadcaaant, could you inrease audio bitrate as well for better quality?

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?

Sorry just modifying a new build, link is now up, I tried to make the bitrates more modest thru out 720p and 1080p.
I'll add higher audio probs tomorrow, i need a break lol

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.

Well... There is one setting that looks very interesting regarding that.

Anyone got audio sync problems? Got it on my first recording.

Which rom? I'm flashing left and right here, trying to hit something that works.

cam + camcorder improvements wishlist

Hello all dear hard working Dev's,
I've started this thread for adding new features in camera for next cyan mod update
my wish list is as follows :-
1.)Continues auto focus in video.
2.)Constant frame rate in video recording (when we go to dark areas, fps gets lowered and brightness decreases)
3.)torch mode in camera(when we snap a closer object, the image goes perfect blank/white)
4.)reduced compression in both photos and videos and increase in size(the vignette app produces about 3MB images while main cam takes only 1.5MB max)
IT DOEN'T MATTER IF tHE ROM IS FROYO OR GINGERBREAD(for me)

i9000 media_profiles.xml CM10.1 framerate reduction for brighter videos in the dark

Hi, I want to create another profile in media_profiles.xml (or edit existing one, 480p for example)for recording in dark environment.
I succesfully changed audio and video quality, but I can't decrease framerate for brighter videos (camera FCor I can't press record button). I know, that is possible - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583259 (yes yes, stock rom and another variation od i9000 series, but this mod is based on the same thing as I wrote - brighter videos by lowering framerate .. and it works - I had this phone before)
quote:
If you limit the framerate to a minimum of 30fps, the video can become very dark when there is not enough light. If you lower this limit to - say - 10 fps, the video will be brighter in low light, but it will be "laggy" and because each frame is exposed longer than at 30 fps, blur will be more likely. Both is inevitable, but in my opinion still better than a black video
I will be grateful for any help, it is really important for me, because I often organizing a underground parties,
and I want to promote it, so I'm doing a video report from them and... audio quality is superb (better than S3 or S4!),
but (as I said - underground parties) it is dark, there is only a strobe, small light for artists and nothing else, so ... almost nothing can be seen on my recordings

Recording with constant framerate (LOS)

Hey guys!
I'm currently using nvertigo67's LAS for the 1+3T, which comes with OOS camera pre-installed.
It works extremely nice, except for one thing. It does record 1080p in 60fps, however with a variable framerate. I asked the dev. if he knew any way to change it to record at a constant 60fps, to which he said he doesn't know much about changing codec settings (post 1 & 2)
Do any of you know what I should try to do to be able to record with a constant framerate?

use a camera app where you can lock the ambient brightness like open camera. then try to lower the ambient brightness shown in the camera by holding the camera to a bright spot and press on the lock. this changes the iso so the framerate rises and by locking it it will stay on that framerate constantly. ofc you can also use a camera app where you can choose between different iso values.
but for me oss camera has allways same framerate no matter what light conditions. your issue might be kernel related. low performance maybe. or some apps consuming cpu in the background

I have tried Open Camera, unfortunately it doesn't go above 30 fps, even when selecting 60 as the approximate frame rate.
The developer told me it's how the encoder works (please see "post 1 & 2" I have linked in my first post, he explains it there pretty well.)
OOS camera worked for me well too, while I was actually using OOS. The AOSP camera doesn't support 60fps recording either.

Question No 60 FPS video recording at all

The phone has no option to record at 60 fps. Am I missing something or this flagship cannot record at 60fps?

Open the Camera app.
Go to Video mode.
At the top of the screen, where it appears de screen-ratio icon (9:16 or an square icon), thereis a little horizontal bar just below that icon. Scroll it down.
There it will appear more options like selecting resolution 8k, 4k, FHD and also FPS.
60 fps does not work with 8K and I have to say that there is some bug recording at 60ps (4k or 1080p). It will not focus properly, but try it.

Oh thank you very much bro..I would have never found it if not for you. And yes you are right, the camera is not able to focus.
I find this issue even with photos. Like when I want to take a close up photo of a document or an object the camera won't fo us properly.
I hope Motorola knows about this bug that focus on camera is totally broken.
