I'm trying to modify the resolution video recording in which stock S5830i is 320x240.
It seems that could change the parameters of maximum resolution to 640x480, and could use, but only on a webcam app, in it the selection of resolution to be used.
The camera does not have a native setting of 640x480, so who can give a solution or know of an application that can replace the camera app for recording and has the ability to select the resolution, please, will help.
Thank you.
(sorry my english)
I'm pretty certain the problem is due to hardware limitations, and not related to the software.
You could get a new phone.
Yep. It is the hardware limitations.
You can try to force it to record in 480p just like they did in the Galaxy Mini forums I guess.
Try lgcamera and see if recording in 480p works.

Guys, I'm trying a procedure in which a friend here at XDA made to enable 720p camera in front for the Galaxy Tab
And VideoCore 4 (BCM2763) is capable of recording in full HD. BCM2763
Apparently I managed to gain some quality and would like to share, I begin to compare.
Thanks system.img at lgcamera.

Yes, the GPU is capable for recording 1080p, it has to encode the camera data, so why can't we mod it?

Wait firmware update ... same was on S5830 and firmware updates solve this "problem".
Cheers
I'm recording at 480p smoothly.
As the guys have not replied to the topic, here I will post instructions on how to make change for those interested.
The file that should be changed is the media_profiles that is in / etc. I'll post here the file has changed.
Procedure (root is required):
1 - Download the file and put the sd card - File in my dropbox
2 - With full access to the root, move and replace the file to the / etc
3 - Restart the phone
4 - Install Lgcamera (PlayStore)
5 - In Lgcamera select resolution 640x480
Ready. Just write!
Thanks!

if we get GPU drivers from Broadcom then we can record 1080p HD videos ???
Guys Broadcom Will be releasing a CM7.2 with full CPU and GPU Source if everything goes okay.
If everything goes okay, im pretty sure we will be able to record in 720p or maybe even 1080p which i personally think would not be possible with 5MP camera.

I do not know, but I will try.
; D
I went and tested this a bit...
Any resolution above 640x480 - glitched camera, but you can still see shapes and motion moving and stuff like that so I don't know it it's the firmware;
Camera fully crashes when trying 720p or higher
Only works on H.264 encode, anything else it will crash
Seems to be very good at handling bitrate, as expected, because of the GPU, I tested up to 5Mbit but i'm sure it can handle more, gets a bit jittery though. 2Mbit looks like 'enough' for this resolution
(320p/20fps/?1mbit are factory defaults)
480p/20fps/5mbit seems to be the best option
edit: Must use ARM_NB audio encoder and record in 20fps or it will be out of sync

720p is possible:good:
The videocard (VideoCore IV) can handle 1080p at 1.5GPixel/Sec.
Does this mean the camera could also handle this?

Not same. in default Eclair, you cannot setting to highest resolution.
In modif Camera, you got setting until 5MP, Resolution up to 1280*720, you got convert to MPEG4 and H.264 format. I think this app is better.
Even if i changed settings ib lgcanera it only was changing resolution, but not the bitrate, thus making video recordings with high res, but low quality
EDIT: yeah, seems like i was trying old version of lgcamera, this version you have posted works fine and im starting to like it.

Do you have to uninstall the 2.1 Camera app before installing this one?

Some ppl. were asking for a high bitrate mod. This only works for the CM7 roms.
Does not work for stock rom as bitrate is hardcoded into the LG camera app. (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090785 for somemadcaaant's awesome work on that)
Choose the 720p only mod if you are running a kernel with the 64mb ram hack (it doesn't support 1080p). The 720p only will of course also work for the std. cm7 kernel.
Bitrate(orig)-signed.zip will bring you back to the settings that's on the cm7 nightly repo.
Reinstall the vork kernel if you want to go back to orig settings for 64mb hack.
I've added two pictures to compare 7 mbit/s vs 20 mbit/s (720p). I think esp. the trees look better. Is it worth the extra space? Dunno.
I leave all the different versions here, so ppl can choose whatever they want. Of course, the higher the bitrate the harder everything is being pushed, so your results may vary (esp. depending on sdcard speed). Phone playback may also be an issue. It's impossible to break anything permanently, so just install back to original settings if you run into issues.
For the different mods, the settings are

This is good news and very welcomed
However, simple question: Why the limit @ 15fps over 1080p? Hardware limitation of the Tegra 2 chipset (highly doubt it) or what?
Wow awesome!
This is what we need, higher bit rate in camera and video, as above how come 1080p is capped at 15fps? shouldnt it be 24fps?
Lets start modding the camera hardcore to get the best quality!

Whatever setting I use for the framerate on 1080p, it either crashes or falls back to 15fps. Of course we do know it can do 25fps on stock rom so it has to be cm7 related (kernel drivers or whatever). That's at 9mbit/s on stock, though.
12 mbit/s is, btw, also the highest bitrate i could get for 1080p.
EDIT: Oh, btw. it might not be a good idea to use this together with the 64mb extra ram hack.
I only get black screen when flashing this.

Yea, all the mod does is replace the media_profiles.xml file. You can just extract the zip to see what's different. You have to play around with the settings a little bit. If you do something wrong it's very likely it'll get stuck at boot. Use adb or cwm to restore media_profiles.xml to orig.
The resolution for 1080p has to be 1920x1088 to work. Std. cm7 sets it to 1920x1080 and therefore only records in 720p.

Can you ported lg camera app to cm mod ?
Great job LeJay!
I've flashed away from CM7 atm, runniong an MCR ROM instead. Will certainly test this once I'm back to CM7. I hope the dev of CM7 for O2X can by pass all limitations and truly unlock the power of this device.
Media capabilities (Korea ROM 10S got MKV, 4.1 profile support), [email protected] (AT LEAST!) etc... Only time will tell if they're able to.
Would love to have LG camera on cm7. Is this possible?
I was trying to change the settings inside the JAVA files of the LG Camera app, which are in HEX format for me.
I recalculated all the values in DEC, doubled them and reconverted them to HEX but didn't seem to work.
My highest recording was 10500 which I'm sure is just random from 9000 to 10500 with the normal settings.
if you do a text search for bitrate in the decompiled LG Camera app it is located in 5-6 locations.
Only 2 locations are needed.
First location is where the values are stored in private static fields
And the second location is the script is accessing the values and doing some operations with it.
Too bad it's low level coded
Looks like the CM7 camera app is easier to modify, because the LG one is insanely hardcoded
hello frds my question is we enable hd video recording in x8?
bcoz it is possible in iphone 3gs
http://www.redmondpie.com/enable-hd-video-recording-on-iphone-3gs-jailbreak/
the camera is same 3.2 so it is possible ?
An X8 is not an iPhone,it has different hardware AND software, so if they could do it on the iPhone, that doesn´t mean anything to us.
And HD is just the size of the frames and doesn´t give you more quality, and maybve the quality will be weird, as the images of the camera have to be stretched by the software, and a small picture strecthed to a big size always looks weird.
The camera could do HD videos, because it has the resolution. Other question is that the processor could not keep up with the real time encoding (even with 640x480 resolution the video might skip some frames). So it could be done, but it will be totally useless.

Hi all!
I am using cyanmobile reVo A of squad and the video recorder up to VGA (640x480), about fps, in night 8.3, very light 15, standard light 30, sometime up to 60. So i very like it
But the disadvange is laggy, sometime frenzy, benchmark is 1707 (OC is 2006)
So, i prefer mebitek ROM, i not ever use, but i think it smooth and benchmark is 2119 , but what the video recorder resolution ? 320x240 or 640x480 ?
I try to edit file media_profiles.xml in system to 320x240 but it still 640x480, so i think nothing change if i edit this file in mebitek's ROM!
P/s: i don't like lgcamera, it stupid, and i can't capture (still loading)
no reply?
What do you want to say? You want to change the video recording resolution to 320/240? If so why? Leave it at 640/480.
It's the same aspect ratio and the video should look better because you record it with a higher resolution. So you can get more details while recording.

After installing JB, video recording of LG Camera started producing videos with distorted images because of over compressing even with full HD.
I've recently found this application which is an advanced version of Google JB Stock Camera application and it works without any problems with 4X and produces better quality videos (the file size is doubled but the videos look much better.)
I recommend this application to every 4X user.

LG Camera is better but has a serious flaw in video recording. It uses a low video bitrate so videos look distorted.
This application uses a higher bitrate and recorded videos look much better than LG Camera. The cost of this is doubled file size.

I've been using LG camera pro for some time now and it works very well. No more focus issues for me at least.
It's missing a few functions like panorama shots and HDR, though filming is fine (i can set up bitrate to 100Mbits?).
If there's enough light. But I've got to say, this camera is much worse compared to One X. Esspecially in low light. Unless i'm missing something in settings, i always get grainy footage, while x ones is smooth and clear.

You can't just rename one extension into another - even though those extensions are different in many ways. My opinion would be to use another camera which saves to avi or mkv files
I made more tests with flash and noticed that it lags when you touch the picture to change the auto focus point and then click the capture button.
It takes pictures instantly with flash if you just click the capture button without changing the focus point.
