[Q] camera quality

ok guyz trying to figure out what camera has better video recording (fps,bitrate,quality)
i have miui rom tested Cyanogen 7 mod (not so good very low fps and bitrate)
tested Cyanogen 7 mod with 30fps and 20mbps (not even close to 30 fps more like 10 only video bigger size) tested also mid and low and lg settings of 30 fps mod but same results.
right now testing miui camera ...
so i thing the best is stock LG camera app!
is there ary one who can advice me about this ?
(cause we have an tegra 2 device with 8M pixes camera and HD video that currently on miui is like 1.3M Pixes )

i back to stock because that problem with camera ... very low fps and bitrate on latest cm7 and miui to .... laggy on preview and very bad on recording ....
it seems the problem is only on some phone ....
I upload CM7 #147 to try camera and video ....
on this update camera is normal (good).. same on stock rom ...

[Q] CM7 Video Recording with LOW FPS

Yesterday i tried to mess a bit with the camera so i decided to try the "[MOD][CAM] [email protected]@20mbps + auto-focus on CM7" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1094424)
I did installed with the recovery. but after that i get very low fps on my videos..i tried every single file with about the same outcome.. so i wanna know how i can bring the cm7 default camera.apk back?
currently my videos are at 9 frames/sec wich is really bad...
I am using CM7.1.0 stable my phone is the greek version of Optimus X2 (its the speed) P990
My SD card speed is class 4 and i am using the sd booster app for a better performance..not big difference tbh...so either i would like to know where i can find the original camera.apk for cm7 or what i can do to fix this.. thanks in advance!
EDIT: I dont have experience on modding..just started messing around with phone following various step by step guides..

I have managed to put the default camera.apk and media_profiles.xml from CM7.1.0
to my mobile. I noticed small difference a bit better i think lik 12fps...
I have to mention that the light in the room was average.. when I had more light the frames gone up to like 25-26 fps... (i did monitored it with fraps) i have to try to daylight now...
Btw is that a general issue for all in dark video takes or its something wrong with my phone and/or software?
Any suggestions?

I am quite sure it has something to do with cm7 camera app. Alot of people do complaint about the quality of cm7's camera app comparing to the stock LG camera app on stock roms.

It's not a fault of CM team, the camera library is closed source, so it is hard to understand how O2X camera works.
Since I use the camcorder, I had to leave CM7 waiting for a fix

A library system/lib/libcamera.so was changed in newer CM releases and it features auto compensation, that's the reason why video sucks in low light compared to stock.
You can use a libcamera.so from older CM nightlies/stable releases. But make sure that you also copy Camera.apk from that version.

oh i see.. I'll try that thank you!

hmm this is interesting.. i too am not so happy with the camera on CM7.2 temasek
there's no way to install the stock camera apk on CM roms?
what i dearly miss from that camera is the ability for faster timer shots (2s).. the fastest timer is 10s for CM7 =\

[Q] D3 Video Recording any app other than stock issue

Hi all
have been on these forums for quite a while but browsing etc etc
It seems my D3 does not want to record video with any app other than the standard camcorder :/
3rd party apps record no problem, but video comes out green and pink and you can not make out the video - like a missing or broken codec on a PC sorta thing.
Does anyone have an idea why ? does D3 use a strange codec that other cameras do not have
If so can I install codecs somehow ?
Phone is XT862, 5.6.890, Android 2.3.4
It is rooted, also I safe mode between ICS and stock but had this problem as long as I can recall.
Any info would be handy.

[Q] Videorecording ParanoidAndroid v1.1d

Hello Members,
one week ago i got a Galaxy S I9000.
I flashed ParanoidAndroid v1.1.d with the newest Devil Kernel (Devil3_0.79_i9000_CFS_BLN_VC_20120618.zip)
Very nice rom by the way
But unfortunaly iam not able to record videos. I changed nothing with the free ram space, so i think thats not the problem?
With the stock rom it was possible to record. Tried semaphore but without success..
Could not find another app for video recording and i dont know how to change recording resolution settings??. ... any suggestions?
Thanks for your Help in advance

Yes you are right PA ROM has some issues with the camera. In tablet mode once you switch to front camera the switch camera button doesn't work.
Video recording works fine with other apps but not in 720p.

In the Development Site of PA i read nothing about cameraproblems...
With Skype e.g. its working fine... but i dont know on which resolution.
Do you have a hint for a different app for recording videos? It hasn't to be high res.
I found nothing in the market...

Youtube resolution

Hi guys, I'm sorry if this has been discussed in another thread, but I've been digging into this for about 2 hours now, and found nothing. I have a backup galaxy s advance, that I recently flashed with a cm 11 rom, and I'm not sure, but I'm under the impression that before with 4.1.2 stock, I could watch 480p videos on youtube, now the maximum resolution is 360p, and it's kinda pixelated. My question is....stock, is 360p the maximum resolution supported ? Also, is there any mod/fix whatever that can force youtube to go to 480p ? From my limited knowledge a 800x480 display should be 480p compatible, but please correct me if I'm wrong I've tried to modify the pixel density from build prop, but with no effect. Any help would be much appreciated

somewhere on the internet I read that Youtube does this restriction when you use HDMI connection to the screen.
I used to have very nice HD streaming for long time but after one of the app updates it is restricted, nothing else changed. I tried even to compare how it looks on my laptop. same video is showing full hd on laptop while on android it shows 360p max.
so by the experience I have it is definitely youtube app which restricts the options!!!!!!!

On stock (and stock based roms) you can watch 480p videos.
On KitKat you can't.
But you could try alternative apps like this one for 720p videos.

ALSO you can use this module in XPOSED called YOURTUBE you can change the resolution of the playing video ( i have not used it myself but the dev has mensioned it in module info)

Thanks for the suggestions guys
