Alright, as promised, the camera patch for all ROMs using the grouper blobs.
First of all, a very big thanks to @Adam77Root, cause without him, none of this would have been possible.
This patch allows the camera to use the old nvomx, which fixes the encoder issues. However, this breaks the hardware decoder of the stock gallery. And using software decoder, lags are inevitable. But, you can still play HD videos using MX player.
To revert this, either restore a system backup, re-flash your ROM or flash the "Cam_revert_patch.zip" from the Attachment.
@ROM devs, please don't include this patch into your ROMs, but rather link to this thread. Not being able to use the read hw decoder can cause confusion and false bug reports, which is why I want people to read this first, before using the patch
Good idea!
tested the patch, works wonderfully. thank you!
As above working flawlessly as it should good work you are one step to make everything fully working

Can anyone test Skype videocall? Because for me it doesn't work, it gives me the same error as without the patch (green screen instead of the video). I can record videos though.
Also it works with the new omni buils (the ones reverted to old blobs) and all other official roms that use old blobs.
qr decoding/skype still doesn't work - this is just a fix for video recording
I would really like a revert patch, because I would like to install the patch when I want to take a video and simply uninstall it when I want to use the gallery.
I also add that this patch breaks Youtube app

Of course, it breaks almost all video decoding stuff, especially YT. This is why don't want devs to include it into ROMs.
MX player is more-less the only exception
in addition the recorded Videos are really "not good". The framerate is not stable. One video I recorded has 13 fps, the next 22 fps. Stable 25fps seems not possible.
So I would really appreciate a revert patch, dont want to flash all the rom again

you were watching this videos on gallery app ?? or mx player with s/w decoding chosen? or on your pc?
i didnt faced such problem.. only when u watch video you recorded on gallery it OFC will lag...
I watched the videos on my pc, I read the framerate out with standard windows and also with adobe premiere pro cs5.

Will do some troubleshooting tomorrow, gonna let you know if I find anything
Alright, as already mentioned HERE, we have a new way to switch between video playing and recording, a more "on the go" version
For details and how to use it, please take a look into the linked post
Now, some more explanation, the new patch "nameless_patchV2" is not only for nameless, but all ROMs built using p880-dev's android-4.4 branch, such as NamelessROM, Omni, Thinkingbridge, ...
Just flash the patch and you can switch blobs as explained.
The patch for CM11 (the cm-11.0 branch) is in the making

Support for new media formats
The platform now offers built-in support for the VP8 open video compression format and the WebM open container format. The platform also adds support for AAC encoding and AMR wideband encoding (in software), so that applications can capture higher quality audio than narrowband.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Implementing wideband codecs in video capture would be very nice as the platform now allows it, because at the moment, captured audio in videos is simply very, very bad (8kHz narrowband AMR).
Any dev willing to explain how hard would it be to implement this? Thanks.

Can be done, but first we'll need to fix the video encoder framework problem currently found in gingerbread.
With the OTA ull have both AAC and amrwb encoding, no need to worry about that, just wait for the ota. i have seen the AOSP source for passion, there is implementation of all the new encoders

No passion has some proprietary libs including camera n omx libs. We also need a new radio to go along with the encoders

Well, the OTA is here and the camera still encodes audio in AMR.
Damn.
edit: well, I was wrong! I hadn't looked at the actual file with a computer: it now has AAC audio, 16k sampling rate, 96kbps mono. It also uses the back mic (i don't know if that was the case before)
A higher sample rate would be very nice, but ah well, at least it's something

EDIT: [email protected] has been added to nightly and bitrate has been set to 12mbps which is not that bad. Its hence not recommended to flash these anymore. If you want higher bitrate look in the thread for those. I think it was pastime who made them. Alternatively use root explorer to manually edit /etc/mediaprofiles.XML. again, read pastimes and related posts in the thread on that.
This will replace the Camera.apk from CM7 with a more tegra2 friendly version that enables [email protected] recording. There's also included an updated media_profiles.xml file that'll enable different bitrates. Choose wisely . To test the bitrate I recommend having it running for at a minute to make sure everything can keep up. Usually it starts out smooth and then starts stuttering as the ram gets filled up. I also upped the quality for still.
Videos (I'll add experimental stuff as well, such as ultra high bitrates and auto focus):
http://www.youtube.com/user/O2XdevVids
I would stay away with 64mb ram hacks for the time being. Maybe we can find some middle ground in the future .
Anyway, please give me feedback on how it works. Some beautiful videos would be nice. Weather is really depressing here.
Please don't use this for non-tegra 2 devices.
Also, I'm experimenting a lot. Expect a lot to be buggy. I do my best not to put something out that doesn't work, but a couple of runs is really the extend of my testing before it goes up (to be honest). The autofocus-mod is seriously buggy. The bitrate-mod should be pretty much as buggy as the std. cm7 Camera app.
And, of course, thx to all the great ppl who works on cm.

--------------Autofocus1.1----------------- (Note this is horribly buggy)
Just adds auto focus (and 25/30fps if you're on nightly), no change to bitrate. Flash this AFTER you do the bitrate mods. Flashing with any of the bitrate mods will replace the Camera app and you'll lose autofocus.

--------------------------------CHANGELOG----------------------------------------
1.0 Initial release.
---- Small bugfix of CM7s camera app + tegra 2 specific stuff.
1.1-pre-alpha
---- Enables autofocus prior to video capture. Cannot be turned off(I don't do UIs,lol). Need to restart app for each video.
Autofocus 1.1
---- No need to restart app.
Known issues:
Does no longer auto adjust for exposure while recording. In between recordings it will auto adjust again. (I have no idea why).
Cannot disable autofocus (have no idea how to do UI).
Rather buggy, lots of freezes. For best results, don't push it. Ie. don't start and stop recordings rapidly, stuff like that.
Don't switch quickly to video when opening app... I think that might be a cm7 issue.
---------------------------------------TODO----------------------------------------
Touch to focus.
continuous auto-focus.
FAQ
Q: Does this work for non-CM7 ROMS?
A: Probably not. Certainly not froyo. But feel free to try and let me know. On stock rom-based builds, please look at somemadcaaant's awesome work at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090785.
Q: T-Mobile LG G2x support?
A: Yes.
Q: What are the disadvantages?
A: Larger filesize. Takes longer to save (give it time to save before doing anything else with the phone). Potential issues with playback on phone.
Q: Does this work with 64 mb ram hack?
A: No. You can still use a high bitrate 720p mod for that kernel, though.
Q: It stutters after a few secs of recording or freezes once in a while, why is this?
A: Your phone/sdcard is having issues trying to keep up. Try a lower bitrate mod. If there is no lower, ask for one. I'm experimenting a little myself, trying to find a stable bitrate.
Q: If I open the Camera app and very quickly change to video I get a black screen?
A: Don't do that. I get the same bug on std. cm7 Camera app.
Q: Isn't it overkill with an FAQ for a camera mod?
A: Yes. But people kept asking the same questions last time I made a thread.
THX so much I will test it and report.
i would also add "touch to re-focus during video capture"(like in htc's) to the to-do list
Tegra 2 is some impressive hardware.... bitrate goes up crazy high. I'll add some different versions, but do people have any thoughts on what kind of bit rates they'd like to see?
Damn, I think maybe my sdcard cant keep up with the ultra high bit rates I'm testing. Starts stuttering after 10 sec. Maybe someone out there with a class 10 card?
When switching on video mode, i get a black screen and FC afterwards.

I purposely made my tweaks so code is first running when you actually start recording... If it's a new problem it's because of the settings file.

I reinstalled. Thereafter i was able to start it. But Recording doesn't work so far.It starts at 720P but when ending the recodring, I get a FC. 1080p keeps black screen and no FC and no recording. Maybe because of the 64MB RAM hack in the vorkKernal.
Thanks LeJay
But i have a bug.... The video is lagging(I think my Sd Card is Class 2), so i think it is because of the high bitrate. And sometimes after shooting a video the camera just freezes and i have to pull the battery..

Okay, so it officially doesn't work with the 64 mb ram hack. Not surprising. You can enable high bitrate 720p with some of my other mods.

Hmm... I just recorded for 1 min straight with no issue. I do get similar issues on som2e of the higher bitrates I've been toying with(40mbps can make most sd cards cry). Does it start lagging as soon as you start recording?
I'm going to make higher and lower bitrate versions.
Works beautifully on the G2x as well. Thanks

Works grat! 40 sec of video went from 18mb to 99mb. Now that we need a fast memory isn't better to use the internal memory?

Agreed.
LeJay, I also think that you should contact Ricardo (arcee) and see if he can merge you changes. He just changed from 1080 to 1088 the other day in the .xml file so we can record 1080p nativly. Kinda wierd that you have to set it to 1088?
The best thing would of course be if he could include all the different modes/profiles for us to freely choose:
"FPS: 15, 25, 30"
"Resolution: 1080p, 720p, ..."
"Bitrate: X, Y, Z"
"Sound: 44 Khz, ..."
etc... because I know my class 2 card can't keep up at the best options. Going to buy me a new one soon though.
Send him a message and see if he's interested. His todo list probably is long though....
Is anyone facing problems with Stories videos? Whenever I try to upload a video, from my gallery, the video lags SO MUCH...
And if I try to record a video directly in Instagram app, the video lags EVEN MORE.
The experience with this social network, in a whole, is a little bit crappy, with the Mi A2...
It's so sad, because I really love this phone, specially the camera.
Well, is anyone facing the same problem? Is there any fix?
Thanks in advance! <3
Same problem, only with GBintsa stories work fine
Same problem, but only video story.
I also have this issue and always had it with every Android smartphone I ever owned. I investigated a bit on the internet and read somewhere that Instagram handles the Android camera API in a ****ty way. I'm no expert but seemingly the difference is that iPhone always uses the same API or just some different version because there are not many models on Android however there are probably more than 1000 different camera APIs because there is a much bigger variety of models. In short: Instagram on Android is not very well optimized.
I had the same issue with my MI A2 i fixed it buy installing a previous version of the instagram app I had the go like 10 vesrion before to get it right though and i lost the gif feature in messages but let's hope the update wont have the same problem.
Instagram beta works fine for me
Edit: NO IT'S NOT!!
Also recording from stock camera app in 1080p 60fps and then posting as story is fine
I also had this kind of issue, which is also present in older device like Redmi Note 4 in MIUI. I don't know what make its bugged tho

I think this is a decoder related thing.. because screenshots look bad, but photos taken from camera looks good. Any video other than 1080p 60 fps from stock camera looks stuttering; but it also has very bad sound quality... That's really fuktup xiaomi..

The problem with the sound program will solve Cinema FV-5.
Go to the sound settings and put a tick on the Disable Audio Automatic gain Control (AGC). The sound starts being processed by the application's algorithms.

Instagram stories are smooth on my mi a2 running android P with the latest instagram update. Last time i was on android 8.1, the latest version of instagram has the choppy stories problem. Try updating to android P.
It's been months and still my stories are 15 fps.... what a joke...
This crap needs to get fixed. No matter which account I the video is choppy/laggy. If i shoot video inside the app the review looks good. once it uploads it's laggy. If I save the video to my phone... it's choppy. If i have a video already on my phone and I upload it to stories to the normal feed... it's choppy AF.
I'm on 8.1 oreo with RAW enabled. This suuuucks
Can someone confirm that the videos are better or smoother in Android P?

The solution is to install the older version of instagram. I'm from Brazil and I found this solution, if you want to solve it and see everything fast again use this version here: 51.0.0.20.85
Search google to download ...
Do not upgrade to the newer version, if it does not come back all over again.

How can i do this?
Hi,
When I record a video (with stock camera app) in 4k that is longer than a minute in the photos app it laggs (1-4 fps), the sound is playing normally. When I try to play a 30 sec 4k video it runs smoothly. In other resolution everything is fine.
But, when I play that video in an other app (like Filemanager's built in video player) it is fine.
I deleted app data, and cache, still doesn't work.
I also tried to record a 4k 1 minute long video, wich is about 300MB, then I recorded a 10 minute video in FullHd wich is 1.6 GB, the FullHd video runs smoothly, so I don't think it is a problem with size. What could be the problem?
Same here brother. After i stabilized the video the vudeo become choppy. Or if I see recorded 4k video the video stuck at some piont and show like slidesjow of photos.
For the last 2 days, that is what i am frustratingly suffering. It was not sth existing a few days ago. I was wondering what caused this and saw your post. Appreciate all kinds of recommendations.
If anyone have a solution please let me know, I still have this problem. After June update all of my 4k videos are broken and I can't play them in Google photos.
Are you sure it happens only with videos longer than 1 min? I have the same problem but it's random.
Sometimes videos longer than 1 or 2 minutes play OK, sometimes very short videos lag.
Haven't tried less than 4k, though.
Super annoying - using VLC now.

Hi, so I tried a few things, and it works.
Disable the app. If it asks to replace the app with the factory version click "ok". After that, enable the app, and DON'T update it, even if it asks to.
This worked for me, no problem at all, the 4k works, the slowmotion videos can be played without stopping too.
@Thuyamo so you lost the improved interface, dark mode and all that?
I am just afraid it will cause sync problems or something.

I'm currently on version 4.11, the newest in play store is 4.19 so it's not that old. For me this downgrade didn't cause any sync problem. Since the screen is so dim I don't want to make it harder to see stuff on my phone outside the house?, so I don't use dark mode at all. But yes, I lost the dark mode feature. The improved interface is there, I didn't lose it.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

I don't care if it is working or not, to play videos I'm using MX Player Pro.
I created ticket [9-1423000026724] with Google One Support. Let's see how that goes.
Guys, this is a secret so SHHH don't tell anyone.

(Because, I mean, who in their right mind uses Google-anything. Just joking, but srsly.)
Ok, here is an update on ticket [9-1423000026724] with Google support.
Long story short, they said Google Photos cannot play 4k videos.
So I said that was not true and sent them screenshots of Photos running on an iPhone and on a Motorola Android phone, including the information pop-up that shows the video resolution.
They replied they did all they could and closed the case.
I am so dissapointed with their service. I did not expect a quick solution, but I thought they would acknowledge the bug.
What do we do now? I think opening more tickets with them is all we can do. Hope you guys can help me on that.
Note:
- I am not responsible for anything that goes wrong with your device, bootloops, bricks, paperweights etc... Nothing should go wrong but hey i need to include this. If you need any help i will try my best to help you to fix it if you comment.

Installation:
Open Magisk Manager and head to the Modules page
Click on the plus(+) and select the file you want to install
To install more than one file, after one module has installed go back and redo the same process with the other file you downloaded
The Viewfinder Fix: Download Link If XDA Is Broken
It will replace your tuned camera file with the file that razer used in android OREO as that one has no issues with the viewfinderIssues: None that i know of so far, if you notice anything you can mention it in the comments but it is likely i cannot fix it
The EIS Fix: Download Link If XDA Is Broken
EIS (Electronic Image Stabilisation) helps your videos look more stable, by default this is only available at 30fps and only in some apps. However, with this fix EIS will be enabled in any app that asks for it and it will work at 1080p 60fps.Make sure to not use the stock camera app with this but instead a gcam with 60fps support for this phone (like BSGs)Issues: It will break 4k 60fps recording, it just won't work. Also it will break 1080p 60fps recording on the front camera.
And finally, yes of course these modules work together
Also if you need anything else or want to join the Razer Phone community join our group on Telegram!
thanks!
Why is this needed? Can you provide any context? Are these features broken on stock, or just in Gcam?

on stock the camera viewfinder is blurry and colours smudge, making 3rd party apps like Instagram very bad with recording videos and not being able to see well on on what you're taking a picture of.
This issue came around with the pie update for razer phone 2 so I managed to fix the viewfinder issue by using the razer libs from android OREO.
This is for every app, not just gcam.
The EIS fix allows for video stabilization at 1080p 60fps.

Thanks for the explanation. Do you have any videos/photos to show the fix in action? Or can anyone else confirm this works? Cheers!

I have made a couple comparison videos and here they are: (read the description of each as it describes what to look for if it is not immediately visible)
1. Stock Camera Libs through the gcam viewfinder
2. My module through the gcam viewfinder
3. Stock Camera libs recording a video of snapchat (it just records the viewfinder)
4. My module recording the same video in snapchat
Even with the low youtube quality as of now (still processing probably) the changes are noticeable

Using both of these and my gcam is much better. Viewfinder no longer has a ghosting effect, colors are better, and stabilization works.

(Downloads at the bottom of this post in the attached files)
Should work with every Razer Phone 2
Installation:
Open Magisk Manager and head to the Modules page
Click on the plus(+) and select the file you want to install
To install more than one file, after one module has installed go back and redo the same process with the other file you downloaded
The Viewfinder Fix: Download Link If XDA Is Broken
It will replace your tuned camera file with the file that razer used in android OREO as that one has no issues with the viewfinderIssues: None that i know of so far, if you notice anything you can mention it in the comments but it is likely i cannot fix it
The EIS Fix: Download Link If XDA Is Broken
EIS (Electronic Image Stabilisation) helps your videos look more stable, by default this is only available at 30fps and only in some apps. However, with this fix EIS will be enabled in any app that asks for it and it will work at 1080p 60fps.Make sure to not use the stock camera app with this but instead a gcam with 60fps support for this phone (like BSGs)Issues: It will break 4k 60fps recording, it just won't work. Also it will break 1080p 60fps recording on the front camera.
And finally, yes of course these modules work together

Impossible, are you using BSGs cameras? also disable the EIS fix to check if it is that one.
Is it the EIS FIX of VF FIX doing it? and which gcams did you try (by which modder)

it seems more of like an issue with your phone or something as I've not heard of anybody having problems with the viewfinder fix.
about the 7.4 gcam, try BSGs latest version from celsoazevado, it should be labelled test
also you said the camera works in social medias, is that with or without the viewfinder fix

I don't see the latest version being labelled as test. Maybe you're talking about one of those that are labelled as test?
