[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] NoOneCanHelpMe:
upcoming HTC Runnymede will support 720p video recording at 60fps with 1.5GHz single-core Qualcomm MSM8255 and 768MB RAM

so I guess SGS2 can probably do 1080p on 60fps having dual core processor :P i hope someday will be implemented :P

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] DrSlump76:
It's not up to the main soc the video compression, but to the fujitsu isp, having more cpu power will not enable faster fps.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] NoOneCanHelpMe:
what is ISP? in-system programming?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] DrSlump76:
Image Signal Processor

Done. Thanks a lot.

Well, I am still looking for the camera sound can be set on the Setup Menu.

Anyway, thanks a lot.

The camera quality comparison between stock and hacked videos have been updated thanks to my dad's S2 arriving today:

Stock:

Hacked (Potatoman's version):

[youtube]RkXAVP7648o[/youtube]

Update in Op Potatoman? :D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] NoOneCanHelpMe:
the hacked one the mics seem way too sensitive :S i hope this is fixed in V2.

I think the mics settings have to be balanced in some way :confused:

I noticed this on the very first day of the release but it better to have more sounds that the really quiet stock apk
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Cygnuss:
I agree it has too much tremble
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] robbiekhan:
If a sensitivity stabilised version is released I will update :) At the moment if you're really close to a loud source the treble is quite high yeah but if you step back it's OK.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Potatoman:
Thanks robbie, I'll update it now.

Also, short break from development while I move into my new house at University and recover from the weeklong hangover i'll doubtlessly be having. The treble is slightly better at 44.1khz, but I'll try 32 to compare once I return to working on it. If it is better I'll release it straight away then continue with a v3 for the new features, theyre taking longer than I thought because I'm such a noob at this hehe, I did get the shutter button working though :D

Testing actually on KH3 deodexed, working like a charm.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Perceval from Hyrule:
Thanks for this tweak, installed and will test today :)

This is actually pretty weird Samsung shortcut music when running Music, hope you'll find a way to fix this - I currently can't help, I'm just starting to learn how to program Android apps :)

For panorama enhancement, it would be great but I'm not sure we can do something. On my X10, it was the same resolution (6.5Mpx), and on cameras, it is the same also (as seen on my gf's camera).

I guess we may do a full 8Mpx panorama, but it will need interpolation, as sensor won't be able to shoot a native 8Mpx panorama... too bad ! (I may mystake also ;))
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] DrSlump76:
Great panorama app: photaf
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] cigaro78:
First of all this project is awesome and representative of how powerful a community can be in bringing new features to existing hardware.

Second, I do realize mr potatoman said it woudl be tricky, but the optimist in me hope that with v2 around the corner a high dpi version could see the light of day. Right now as far as I can tell there are NO apps out there taking vids in that res+bitrate like the one from potatoman does.

The current version FCs if the dpi is set to anything else but 240 (default).

Thank you
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Perceval from Hyrule:
Photaf actually shots multiple pictures and mix them ;)

Works like a charm but... Got a fc every time I turn my phone off. When I turn it on, g the app will just crash. Data wipe does not help, I have to reinstall the app, then it works.

Permissions are good, safely stored into system/app, checked everything but keeps crashing.

tested under kg1 with speed mod kernel (2.6.35.7 hardcore@speedmod-s2-k1-t39).
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Potatoman:
I tested this, if you use Rom Manager to set the dpi it doesn't FC for me (using villainrom with ninphet kernel.) though the icons do become out of place, it's still fully functional. Tested at 200 and 220 dpi.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] superleeds27:
Anyone reccommend this for Cognition ROM 1.5.1?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Potatoman:
Tested it on 1.5.0, works fine there, so I think it'd be fine on 1.5.1

Also, MAJOR thanks to whoever donated on the 6th, you actually saved me a great deal of hassle getting home. <3
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] comnam90:
potatoman, does your modded camera include the highbit rate camcorder at 720 & 1080? or is this only available in hyperx's mod? and if so, does his mod include the batterylife mod and stuff like yours? is it an either or thing is really what i would like to know.

Thanks heaps for all your hard work!!

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] JernejL:
Any progress on removing video autofocus? i documented some smali disassembled stuff from the apk in that other thread, was that of any use?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] AndroidGX:
It's in the first post :

http://www.multiupload.com/KHRWLERS4J

V2 is not yet available.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Potatoman:
The furthest I got with it was making it record without autofocus at all, but after about 5s (when the AF is trying to kick in again) it FC's. I'm not working on it at the moment because I'm busy moving to my university accommodation, but I think I botched a change in the Camcorder.smali file that's causing it to FC, so that's where ill be looking once I start working on it again. That will happen after I release the KH3 based one of the standard features though.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] JernejL:
What exactly does FC-ing mean?

Did you try by removing the continous autofocus mode, or is it set on a timer triggering autofocus function?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] 11768:
FC = Force Close
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Potatoman:
As was said, FC means it's Force Closing- i.e at the moment once the camcorder tries to autofocus (~5s) it just exits and gives an error.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] DrSlump76:
Hi, the same error appears on the LGCamera app. The m5mo isp has a various focus options, for example the infinity focus mode, but it seems to not work...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Potatoman:
I noticed the same thing. What I'm planning on trying is leaving the focus enabled as it was, but remove the refocusing delay if possible. I think it has something to do with the continuous_af function, but I'm not sure as yet.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] meranto:
I understand that people have things to do they rather do than programming/modding, but is there any hope for a fix of the autofocus problem in the near future or can I assume this to be a dead end project?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Potatoman:
Is your phone sound muted/on vibrate? The phone setting takes priority even in the stock app, on silent or muted will cause the camera to not make a sound when taking pictures.

If that isn't the case please describe exactly what you did to install it and I'll see if I can help get it working properly :)

Not in the near future. This project is not a priority for me right now what with moving out of my home in less than a week to a city where I know no one and start my new university course.

I work on it when I have time and guarantee no progress for any particular date or deadline. The project originally started as something I did in my spare time to fix a problem I was having, which I then decided to share for no reason other than "maybe someone else would find it useful too" - and that is how it will stay.

Also, calling it a "dead end project" is kind of the opposite of "understanding that people have things to do other than modding." The first post made it explicitly clear that I am very new to the modding scene and have little free time to work on this, and that I'm still learning, so describing my goals as a "dead end" simply because I'm not yet capable of getting it working is a bit annoying. I'm experimenting and learning as I go, most of the time by sheer trial and error, so if you consider that a dead end then yes, I guess it is. I'll share what I have when I'm satisfied with it working to a decent and functional standard, and nothing more.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] meranto:
Thanks for your fair reply. I did not intend to cause irritation, I just wanted to know how the project was looking in the near future. I respect that you are not a hardcore developer and find other things more important as I stated before.

My experience though with projects as this in an environment as the top-end smartphone modding market, is that they quickly lose momentum as development halts, which makes it less interesting to continue them, which would be a pity since the issues I run into with the camera are exactly the issues you aim to fix.

Again, no offense meant. I would even encourage you to focus on your current changes in life instead of the modding, since it is more important.

You dont understand! making yourself look a twat
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Potatoman:
No mate, you're making yourself look like a twat. Does my app not work? Is it wrong of me to ask for a VOLUNTARY donation for something I put a lot of effort into? If I wanted it to be a scheme where you pay money and I do new features at the snap of your fingers, I would have made a Pro version and a Lite version and charged for it like a normal app. If you don't like what I do, feel free to leave and never come back.

I hate arrogant pricks like you. What have you done for the community lately? Donations are just that, a DONATION. I don't give to cancer research then come back 3 months later demanding a refund because people still get cancer. Even while I'm not working on the mod, I still reply to PM's and posts helping people with the current version of the mod on a regular basis, which is more than most dev's would do when they're supposed to be on a break.

Lots of people use my app daily on their phones, and I ask nothing in return. The generous ones who WANT to give can do so using the donation button, for which I am very grateful. That's as complex as it gets.

''Also, in light of my new student status, and since my student loan doesn't even cover my accommodation... I have made a donate link. Donators will maintain my desire to work on this, as well as get priority on new features- Use the paypal feedback option while paying to recommend a feature''

I simply pointed out that you said you desire was proportional to your donations...

sorry it hit a sore point....

I have used hyperx version as you had even said your self it was more stable!

You have promised some thing then asked for donations/wages before you have delivered... This is not how any other dev works regardless of your previous efforts. You should have recieved donations for your previous work and not suggested a back date.

The Cancer research thing was a bad analogy.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Potatoman:
A) It was more stable in it's use of a less variable bitrate than mine, not in the stability of the application.

B) I never promised anything, I posted exactly what I intend to do and thought it was pretty damn clear that I will do it whenever I choose. What people choose to donate for is completely down to them.

C) "Donations/Wages"? This right here proves your ignorance. Donations are NOT my wages. I am not WORKING for you, or any other donators. I put that link there because hey, god forbid I get rewarded for something I've worked hard on and shared for free for thousands of people to use right? I mean, how dare I force people to pay for a better camera app?

Oh wait, I didn't. They chose to. The app's free. Funny that.

What really gets to me though, is that despite all this self entitled bull**** you're spouting, you haven't even donated in the first place! Apparently, you don't even use my app! So who are you to come here and tell me what I should and shouldn't do?

This is exactly why I was hesitant about putting a donate link up in the first place, I've seen the stupid pointless drama it causes everywhere and you just proved me right. If you don't like the donate link, deal with it, I couldn't give a sh*t less anymore.

Do not post here again, I don't want this thread being bumped with more drama. If you want to reply on topic, fine, but if you choose to spam the thread even more I'll be having a mod remove the off topic posts- this thread is supposed to stay open for app feedback and to make it easier for me to help users of the app, not for people like you to come in here and rant about things you clearly have no clue about.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] hshah:
Can you remove the autofocus sounds from the apk?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] fenomeno83:
this is the best mod!!! AUDIO TO 44100HZ!!

So, an aac get trasparency at 96kbps for channel(for a stereo, 96x2 = 192kps)...you can use 96kps..above you don't have differences

is this based on last apk camera update?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Potatoman:
I'll do my best :)

The trick from "Additional info" section of the first post should do that, just turn your volume down and the camera app will be entirely without sounds.

The APK is based on the KE4 modded one at the moment, and v2 will be based on KE7. Glad you like the mod though, thanks for the advice, I'll look into that the encoder properties a bit more to see if what you say is true... Though i suspect I'll leave it at 192, since more people will use it if they see bigger numbers :P
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ermacwins:
I take it the audio mod increases the overall output?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] hshah:
I don't want the sound even if the volume is on :p
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] djandrea:
congratulations for the hack, you should put the bitrate to 128 kbps:) there is no difference to me

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] gebruikershaes:
WOW! Verry happy with this, thanks alot! It does record some noise it seems, but its hell of a lot better than stock!

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Tom-Helge:
Potatoman, is there any ways of adding the ability to use the power button as a camera button when you are using the camera application?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] m_pascal:
Great job.

It would be very useful to have two more hacks:

Hack no. 1- Now are possible to shot Panoramas at 0.3 megapixel. Useless.

Il would be great to shot panoramas with very much higher resolution. Probably the battery won't be happy in this mode but it is the difference beetwen use panoramas and not use it.

Hack no. 2- Now in 1080p video mode the video camera use only the center of the sensor for record a video. The result is tha videos are zoommed 2X. Probably no one of us have e single stable 1080p video recorded on the phone. It's too difficult to use hand as steady-shot.

In 720p mode it's easyer because videos are less zoommed.

It would be nice to use in 1080p mode the same portion of sensor used in 720p mode.

In theory it would already possible using LGCamera app (link: https://market.android.com/details?id=rubberbigpepper.lgCamera) but unfortunately recorded videos seems recorded all at low resolution (not the one I've choosen in settings).

I hope that there are much other people who share my expectations for these requested changes.

(Sorry for my poor english but ut's very difficult for me to explain these things)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Potatoman:
I did try the bitrate at 128, but since the bitrate is variable there were some situations where it was recording at 98-108 kbps, which i thought was unacceptable, so I set it to 192.

In my tests I was recording indoors so the noise seemed unnoticable to me, I'll test it some more tomorrow to see what needs changing. If I see the noise is bad I will test again with 128/32, and if that fixes it then for v2 I will make two versions, one with 128/32 and one with 192/44.1 like now.

:) thanks for the kind words

Already on the to-do list, I know it's possible because it was done on the SGS, so I intend to rip apart that mod and compare it to stock to find how it was done. Or y'know, just ask the mod developer... but that's no fun! ;P

Well, as for hack 1 might be possible, I havent seen where the individual scene modes are stored yet though so it'll take a bit of digging. Hack 2 on the other hand I don't think is possible, the reason LGCamera allows it is because LGCamera is designed for any phone, and as far as I can tell on the SGSII it doesnt actually apply settings (I tried it thoroughly before making this mod and could NEVER get it to record AAC in anything > 64kbps.) If I come across something that allows it I will implement it, but I'm not going to go searching for it because I highly doubt it exists.

Side note- The increased bitrate version is going up now then I'm calling it a night. I settled on a ceiling of 22MBps for 1080p (again, variable bitrate) and

18MBps for 720p (also variable). Beyond these values there is literally NO discernible difference and it just uses extra storage. For comparison, initially the app records using 17mbps for 1080p and 12mbps for 720p, so it's a MAX rough gain of 5-6mbps. The 5 test films I recorded was 1: 18.5 2: 19.6 3: 20.1 3: 18.9 4: 21.1 5 19.4. Take from that what you will.

Swyped from my overclocked GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Potatoman:
The HighBit version is now uploaded for those of you who wanted higher bitrate in videos. It records up to 26mbps in 1080p and 16mbps in 720p, up from 17/12 respectively. Both also record in 30fps.

And I still maintain the first version is the better one, it uses less space and has virtually the same quality. You can't even tell them apart on my 40" 1080p screen, I had to look at the file properties to make sure it was recording over 17mbps.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Hrti:
Wow, you are fast :) Is the new version based on Camera.apk from KE7?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Potatoman:
Nope, identical to first one but with 3 lines changed to 26000000 and 18000000 respectively.

Can those of you who do opt to use it please give me some feedback as to what kind of bitrates you're getting? I just checked with a few more videos and theyre dropping below 17mbps on the highbit version. EDITED- It stays up regardless because the 720p mode's bitrate is confirmed to be working, panic over :). If anything else is broken let me know and I'll fix.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Tom-Helge:
I think the bitrate drops down a little when you are recording in more darker environments.

I tested that earlier. When i was recording inside here i live, then the bitrate was down to 15 Mbps. This was before i installed your modified camera version.

Then i did record outside and it went up to 17 Mbps. And this was also before i started to use your version of the camera app.

So i think it have something to do with what kind of environments you are in.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Potatoman:
I'm not sure because I don't have one here to test it on, but it should work just fine since theyre essentially the same phone. Just keep a backup of your stock version in case it doesn't, then you can restore that one if it doesnt work :)

Power key as camera shutter ? eagerly waiting !!!!!! was about to suggest you the same.

Well, this is what i thought about -

When the camera app is opened, the "Power key controls" are disabled.

Who turns off the phone while using the camera ? right ?

Then after disabling, the same button can be given the shutter functionality !!!

Just a basic implementation thought needed to be engineered.

write a script within the camera app, that disables the power key button when the camera app is tapped by the user.At the very same time make the button switch to the functionality of the shutter button.Done !!!

Best Regards,

Karan.
