Is the first recorded with the earphones that come with the telephone or some other that you use with your device?

I must say the first a acceptable recordings while the others done by the phones mic (unfortunately) are not really that useful.

Put great little test thanks for that. Although would like to have a test where there were a real drummer and bass player at work as this is the real big challenge for these recording

Why video camera does not have exposure settings and light metering like photo camera ? I have tried today and I can get photos to look very good but there is no those settings for video recordings, pretty stupid.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] D3_:
It does have exposure settings, but it doesn't have any settings regarding the metering.

This cam mod aint working on my skyrocket.. I sucessfully replaced the camera.apk in system/apps while keeping a backup.. went to run the camcorder app.. when i hit record on 1080 it says "recording failed" yet all the other 720, 320 etc resolutions work fine.. what gives?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] skiflyer:
what camera firmware do you have? (via +# 34971539# )

isn't skyrocket in canada? and therefore you have an gt-i9100G ?

maybe it is not compatible.. idk:confused:
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Girn:
How do you check firmware of camera? I have a AT&T skyrocket. SGH-I727.. I'm also running T-Mobile s2 beast ROM
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Girn:
Also how do you check the bitrate mbps of the video your recording/have recorded

hi all,

SiyahKernel v2.2 beta6 removed the FPS limit to allow 60 to 120 fps video shooting.

is it possible to mod the camera.apk to support 720p at 60fps, or any lower resolution with high fps ??

this will be cool to have a slowmo camera in our pockets :-)

Remove Low Battery limitation

Hey guys!

I am only after the low battery limitation hack, with all other options left stock.

Can someone point me in the right direction for obtaining that?

Potatoman, can you help me with your magic?

Thanks a lot!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] gabryeludrea:
Does someone know which firmware was used to extract the original camera app?

I want to get that apk in order to identify the smali changes made by modder and apply only the one which removes the low battery restriction.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] meranto:
I'm not sure if it was mentioned in this topic already, but I just came across this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19587242&postcount=3

Off course, I heard about the lgCamera app, but didn't bother trying it out. Well, now I did and basically it fixes the autofocus problem (you can choose between auto, infinity, macro, fixed, continuous-video and facedetect). The continuous-video one just does what it should do. If you film it focusses to what you are filming within 2 seconds and stays there until you change your filming subject. I haven't seen any spontaneous re-focus cycles yet, so that pretty much solves this issue.

Apart from that, you can set jpeg-quality, resolution, video encoder (H.264 default), video file format, video bitrate (20 Mbit max, which still looks awesome), framerate (60 fps max), audio encoder (AAC default), samplerate (up to 48 kHz) and audio bitrate (up to 320k), and some other nice options.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] 11768:
Does the recording @ 60FPS really works? The last time I test it, it doesn't!

EDIT: Just tested it again on 480p as well as 720p. No, it don't.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] meranto:
Just checked it, and 1080p, 720p and 480p are all 29-30 fps when set to 60 fps, so not different from stock indeed.

Mind you, the bitrates at 1080p, 720p and 480p were still 20 Mbit, so remember to change that if you want to go for a lower resolution and don't want to waste too much space.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] androidkid311:
faak me!

ok anyone having a problem similar to this.... basically i can take a pic fine but when i hit up the video recording it records and save then when i open it within the camera app it plays back but then when the vid ends the screen go black.... thats it. have to hit home button to wake my phone up which goes back to home screen! its killing me lol:confused:

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] vuolia:
Read first post, you were told to create backup (camera.apk.bak and so on...). If you don't, its your fault. Get camera.apk from your rom.zip, or reflash rom.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] skiflyer:
hey people,

i use criskelo's modded camera.apk (posted some pages ago) and i can't use the flash light when taking a photo with under 15% of battery. does this also happen with potatoman's mod? and is it possible to fix?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] scott4:
can the shutter sound and focus sound be disabled if I just do the followings?

If you want to get rid of the shutter sound, create a file in /data called local.prop and add the line "ro.camera.sound.forced=0" and restart your phone. This removes both the shutter sound and the focus sound when your phone is on silent, but keeps the sound when it's not on silent. - llBlackenedll

I have tried the above solely without copying the camera.apk file, the shutter sound and focus sound are still there.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] abhiwltya:
The lgcamera app after the latest update really works wonders for sgs2.The pics are a notch better than stock plus the video are smooth as ever.no out of focus and laggy videos for me.if sum1 has a prob with video not recordes try to alter the settings .for me the app works good with 20M bit rate and 30/40/auto framerate.

What does KI8 mean ? Can I take this from thread and use it on my KJ3 ?

Tnx
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] D3_:
KI8 is just the base ROM the camera.apk was taken from before being modded.

It should work fine on your KJ3, just make sure you backup your original camera.apk in case it doesn't work/you don't like it.

hi guys- a few things;

Some people have been asking for sourcecode/instructions, so once more, this is the method I used, all credit to Rafalense.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10980448&postcount=268

Others have been asking why no update, well, A) I'm extremely busy now at uni working on assignments (the course is almost all coursework based), and B) I'm severely demotivated by the fact that I recently lost my work environment (laptop data) after dropping my laptop on my way to a lecture, ruining the HDD (among other things like the screen, but it luckily was insured so all I really lost was my data. Still... :( )

If and when I decide to pick this up again to update, I will make a new post saying so. Otherwise, this thread is now for support and discussion only, as I won't be actively developing this anymore, especially since I recently fell in love with the lgCamera app on Android market, which has this functionality built in far better (select whatever bitrates you want in a menu.) You can get lgCamera on the market- I highly reccomend it.

So as of now, I will no longer be working on the project. Anyone who wants to pick it up can feel free to discuss here or make a new thread, as you please. I'll respond to PM's and post as and when I can, like I said, my workload's pretty hefty lately.

That is the format HTC cams use, which makes sure iPhoto on the mac can read it.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] trickk:
Hey,

LgCamera (free) is working fine on my phone!

But i've a question:

Which Audio bitrate do you use?

Btw: I have tested video recording in 720p with 60fps but the videos have only 30fps! Can anybody confirm this?

regards
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] starbucks2010:
I use LGCamera Pro v6.1 but is completely useless. For pictures, HDR 2.0 is much better. Concerning video, I cannot find any setting that can lead me to a playable video file; is either un-playable file either the program is blocking. I tried H264, MPEG4, different resolutions. No success.

If you know what are the correct settings, please share them.

Best regards.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] poofish:
I had the same problem as you, and then I unchecked the box for 'stereo audio recording' or whatever the exact phrase is. Everything worked fine after that. Although the front facing camera still looks terrible on the camcorder for some reason.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] rafalense:
Same conditions :)

Would be nice to share some settings as 'Contrast', 'Saturation', 'Sharpness'

Which are your values?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dannyboyp:
Hello Potatohead. You recommend the lg camera app because of the adjustable bit rate being the prime feature ?

Sorry to hear about your laptop...

its all ways ironic when people are waiting on you for a release and misfortune strikes.

Do you still think the auto focus can be fixed in the apk?

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Pako7:
I did the Fixed instead of Continuous focus in my patch. But on Fixed focus exposition not changed :( Can try Auto mode - LgCamera have it.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] terenceleechan:
There is a switch inside the camera app to get to video recording. Look hard enough;-) lgcamera is flawless!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Jabbypants:
Thanks a lot loaded the enhanced camera will test tomorrow for myself to see if there is any difference but I trust in what you say and probably not.

Just tested one and the bit rate is 16795 and the audio 192 this was in 720p mode.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Potatoman:
That could well be the case, I Am inside in a VERY dark environment.

Excellent, then the 720p mode is definitely working. I'll leave it up for sure then unless lots of people find it to be broken :) enjoy!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] hshah:
Done that already but the autofocus sound is in the camera ask :(
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Potatoman:
I can confirm the method in my first post stops the autofocus noise as well. There is a VERY Small *click* when the camera opens, but that is the actual shutter opening and nothing can be done about it. If you make the file as stated by llblackenedll in my first post it should be totally silent in terms of camera sounds.

"Additional info:

If you want to get rid of the shutter sound, create a text file in /data called local.prop (NOT Local.prop.txt) and add the line "ro.camera.sound.forced=0" and restart your phone."
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] hshah:

I see you already recomend lgcamera but, in SGSII in video recording this app does not adjust brightness level as the stock cammera app.

This sometimes would make the videorecordings usesless...
