oops, I had missed the 4.1 update in the thread, cheers for the heads up.

So does this 4.1 update fix the camera problem? Do you only have to flash 4.1 to increase both photo & video quality or do you have to flash 4.1 and 3 to have both advantages?

thanks for the time
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] cwk_and:
just flash media_profile 4.1 and it will do all works,

thanks for melvinchng for making it cwm zip:)

Yes,it cound take both uncompress picture and HVGA recording
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] wolfway:
very nice. Even works with the MIUI camera app. For some reason there is a green bar on the side though, which does not appear when using the stock app.

Time for a 16 GB SD card :)
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] darkstep:
this is duo to the higher res its not the miui app ;] its not a big deal
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] wolfway:
So if you change the settings in the stock CM7 app, and then use the MIUI camera app, the same settings will still be applied (less compressed photo's/higher resolution videos)? (I can indeed live with the green bar at the benefit of better UI and video resolution)
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] darkstep:
im not very sure but i thing that the setting in the stock app dont effect miui cam just set high in miui and u are good to go, they both read the settings from the media profile imo
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] wolfway:
can't find such a setting in MIUI, only resolution setting (which I had before already), that's why I asked :)

Cheers
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] calyxim:
If I try this with my wildpuzzle rom and screw up can I turn back to original settings?
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] calyxim:
double bubble...
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] B3!CrAZy:
make a backup and you will be able to get back for sure ;)
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] calyxim:
I flashed 3 roms today. I really don't feel like flashing a rom again :)
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] cwk_and:
which ROM do your flash?

cyanogen nightly build and RC1 are confirm working
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] darkstep:
no need to flash the rom if u mess thing just download the rom.zip you are using extract the media profiles,replace then change permissions reboot and thats it
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] shiranmotha:
Any luck with sence cam?

Any luck with sence cam? Does this work with HTC cam, or is it possible for a similar hack for it? Does HTC cam also use the same file?
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] cwk_and:
so far,not working on sense ROM

sorry dude:(
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] melvinchng:
They do use the same file. You can try to use lgcamera from market, set 480x320 and try it.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] shiranmotha:
HTC Cam facts

Ok.... Tried myself.

Still camera hack works for HTC stock cam. took some sample photos with the same lighting and same frame.

90% - 850kb (default)

99% - 2.3Mb

100% - 2.5Mb

So it works for still camera.

Does not work for video camera. The aac profile for audio capturing is not even exists. No matter how i change the aspect ratio, the Video cam app always shows the same options for resolution.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] melvinchng:
Should I say welcome to cyanogen?
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] shiranmotha:
Used CM7 for a week. But missed sence alot. Love everything about sence except the launcher. HTC Camera was one of my favourite (until now).

Looking forward till some MASTER to get in to the job on sence too...
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] santamanga:
Thanks for the new profile. It works cool in CM7 Stock and in Miui Camera (10). Btw: Miui always uses extension 3gp no matter what profile.

Just one thing: I think, the audio should also in low vid resolution profile be still more than 8000, since that is really too low for any sound.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] cwk_and:
welcome:D

If you wan to change to your any resolution or sound quality,

you may use lgcamera(search in market)

a good apps that change resolution and sound quality in 1 tap
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] sashirey:
Camera is awesome, thanks. But one more thing, is it possible to get mp4, not m4v format of the video?
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] cwk_and:
yes it is possible,but not the the original camera,

use lgcamera and tap the setting,change it to .mp4 format
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] cwk_and:
bump for second update:D

have fun with it
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] darkstep:
great work :)
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] melvinchng:
Updated. zip for recovery available here
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] cwk_and:
thanks very much:D
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] thimon:
thanks.. 480x320 works fine with lgcamera.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] melvinchng:
Lgcamera is discovered by me :-)
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] cwk_and:
actually i know it long time ago when editing the scipt,

the apps really help me to test every resolution without reboot

you are actually telling them:'i discovered gravitational force when i sit beside the apple tree'

gravitational force=10m/s

lol,just joking:D
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] wolfway:
Is lgcamera good? In the market comments I read that it does not work properly?

Also, do you have to reflash this mod now and then? I seem to have lost the option to choose high or low quality in the camera app (I flashed one version of this mod, it worked but now the option is gone - might have reflashed a new radio after, can't remember what i did first), however photo's are still 2,5 MB so it must still be active?
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] cwk_and:
i dont get the point that you are trying to tell us,

do you mean the previous version of camera 2nd generation work fine for you,

after you flash the latest version,the option to control the quality have gone?

Maybe it is there is some bug occure at the CWM zip,

try to reflash the latest CWM.zip

If it does not work,than use 1st method to install it

Or you are trying to flash the radio,than the option have gone???

i think the radio wont affect the camera.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

IS LG CAMERA GOOD?

in my opinion,it does not benefit you at all,

because the cyanogenmod could zoom when video recording,

but lgcamera could not

Use it when you are trying other resolution
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] wolfway:
Sorry if my explanation was unclear:

I flashed the previous version (4.1 I think, the first one that had a video recording solution and the "high quality" option)

I had the high/low quality options (in my CM camera app) like in the image in the first post, but now suddenly a few weeks later (without having flashed anything else than perhaps a radio file) that option is gone (so back to the normal CM7 options), however it still works I think since my photos are still around 2,5 MB.

No biggie ofcourse, but a bit weird. Perhaps I'll flash the latest version soon :)
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] cwk_and:
Have you try to reflash the latest CWM zip(media profile 4.2)?

If it still doesnt work,

than reflash whole cyanogenmod
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] cwk_and:
BUMP for 3rd update,have fun:D

CWM.zip are currently not available

NOW the cyanogenmod user will have very stabil HVGA camera

04.9.2011:fixed the error about (sorry,this video cannot be played) while playing video

The recent version of the camera keep stuck while playing,

now you have very smooth playing after video capture.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Ryiah:
This is just awesome, thanks for this awesome update. I'm glad to know that we can improve our old good smartphone.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] mohammedmaazahmed:
I think this mod is built in the new cm7 builds....
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] lupoalberto12:
This is the same mod of the script by melvinchng, right?

I'm trying this mod on CM7.1 Nightly and it works fine.

Thank you.

Bye!

! :) !
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] cwk_and:
nope,the script at here cointain the latest build.

recommend every body to update the scipt to get the smooth video playing

the previous version made by me is quick buggy when playing video.

I hope to make better and better scipt

The scipt inside melvinchng post are not yet be updated,sorry guy

My experiment:

VGA resolution(fail)

continuous auto focus(fail)

increasing fps(fail)

Now,I give up the experiment because the wildfire do not powerfull enought to encode better video.

are you sure??:confused:
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] lupoalberto12:
No, this mod isn't built in the new cm7 builds: I have CM7.1 Nightly and the stock camera app made very bad video.

With this mod, they are better.

@cwk_and: mmm, I flashed melvinchng version 4.2 and the photos and videos are very good.

Are your script for the photos and video, right?

Why don't you merge both mod?

I compared the your script with the last melvinchng's script (4.2) with your second-last mod: if you only change the values ​​changed in the xml file and you "refresh" the zip file, do you get a zip file to flash easily?

Bye!

! :) !
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] cwk_and:
I think some people will confuse,

please allow let me explain at here

the scipt inside melvinchng are same with previous version of my scipt

At the biggining,the scipt inside melvinchng can only take better photo,

than i begin to make a better mod,and contributed HVGA recording.

With the permission i merge the scipt with his to take both photo and video.

Now,melvinchng using my scipt to make CWM zip for all wildfire user.

But the melvinchng zip are not yet be updated,

why not use the 1st methos to install it?
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] lupoalberto12:
With "Why don't you merge both mod?", I mean "Why don't you merge the last both mod version and topic?": I found the melvinchng's mod topic and I thought that mod it was the mod with your last changes :) .

Maybe someone must write a notice on the other topic "It isn't the last version!".

Thanks to both.

Bye!

! :) !
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] auleu:
does this work with sense ?
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] cwk_and:
nope,sry dude

maybe i should inform all sense user about this

Unfortunately,the mod at here cound be the last changes.

I have already maximize the camera setting and currently did't have a way to do more better

looking for expert to do more better!!:D
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] lupoalberto12:
@cwk_and: maybe there are some problems with video encoding.

I was making a video comparison with:

video recorded with HTC Camera app stock (Froyo)

video recorded with melvinchng mod v4.2 (second-last your changes)

video recorded with your last version (the .xml in the first post)

The video with the last xml (video n.3) is recorded with 14.501744 FPS, the video with melvinchng's zip file (your second-last changes) (video n.2) is recoded with 14.591095 FPS.

Furthermore, the video with the last xml isn't well defined, my video-editing software fails to re-encode the video: it notifies me that the video is corrupt.

I tried with two video, after reboot Wildfire (of course).

The audio of video n.3 is better than video n.2.

Bye!

! :) !
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] cwk_and:
As your information,i have stated in my 1st post

the fps really depending on light intensity.

the fps is around or lower 10 when inside room,

sometimes the fps will more than 15 at outdoor.

My video sample are using n.3 to capture and the outcome is 15.731fps

The audio quality are same at both n.2 and n.3

Just try to do an experiment in both indoor and outdoor:D,

(my outdoor mean the place where you can see the sun:cool:,not moon)

and than you will be realise video taken by outdoor is much smooth and clear

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

hmm,i dun know why you software is failed to re-encode

because i dun know what re-encode meant by.

Do re-encode mean convert to other format?
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] lupoalberto12:
Mmm, ok.

I tried to record the same video: inside room, same actions, same audio.

Re-encode, code the video but with some changes, like a title.

I wanted to make a video with the three videos and the software have to "recode" (code again) the videos.

Yes, at the end it converts the format of videos to video output format (.3gp to .avi) but I have already made it (Youtube).

Ok, I'll try again.

Bye!

! :) !
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] lupoalberto12:
I tried two times and it seems that there are problems when there is a change of light :confused: .

Furthermore I tried to change the resolution of the output video: the software succeeded to code the video at the 1080p but not at 360p :confused: .

Shall I help you to improve this mod?

The focus is bit orrible, the audio is wonderfull.

Thanks.

Edit: ok, this is the last post today :D .

I made some photos in landscape e portrait: the photo in portrait, indeed, are made in landscape and not in portrait (the photo is rotated).

Ok, I'm troublesome but can we fix it :D ?

In xml file I don't read the section about photo.

Thank you.

Bye!

! :) !

Ps.: the photo made "natively" in "real" portrait is different to a photo made in landscape and then rotated (this is why I wanted to notify this bug).
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] cwk_and:
for your problem you are mention above,

The photo that you taken in portrait are rotated to landscape when view,

because the original gallary apps did't support auto rotate.

Use another gallary app to view the photo taken,

i use the lgcamera's gallary apps to view it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

futhurmore,are you sure resize the video from 360p to 1080p will look more better?

please upload your video for me to make sure it

The camera did't even have the auto focus,lol

And....how you help yo improve the video mod???:confused:
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] darkstep:
No point in higher res whit low bitrate

send from wildfire using xda app
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] lupoalberto12:
@cwk_and:

Photo: sorry, I was making a mistake :D .

It works very well.

Video: no, the upscale doesn't improve (much) the quality.

Tomorrow I'll upload a video.

I don't know: can I make something to help you :D ?

It is too good to be true: when I recorded my first video with it (Wildfire) I regret my N78 :'( .

Bye!

! :) !
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] cwk_and:
BUMP,have fun:D

11.9.2011:enchanced the sound quality again,which is audio bitrate(form 96kbps to 160kbps).That is almost twice!!

Title name from "better camera 2nd generation" to "better camera ultimate version"

Q:What is meant by ultimate version?

A:Ultimate version stand for the last update made by me,because i have done well and maximum the video recording performance.There is no any way to increase the performance anymore.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] lupoalberto12:
I'm making a video with the all your mod.

I discovered that if I don't compress the video (400MB for 2 minutes :eek: ), my video editing software can elaborate it.

I'll try anoter video editing.

Bye!

! :) !
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] lupoalberto12:
Ok, I'm uploading the video (1.1GB, it is uncompressed).

I have a doub: your mod is it for videos and photos, right?

If I want to apply this mod on other Wildfire, it is enough replace "media_profile.xml" with your or I have to flash also the melvinchng's mod for the photos?

I read again the xml file but I couldn't find the values ​​about the photos :D .

Thank you.

Bye!

! :) !
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] darkstep:
This is the latest mod for video audio and photo no need to flash older versions
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] luunatiq:
i installed this by copying media_profiles in system/etc/ but the video format is 3gp instead of m4v...
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] darkstep:
Open the xml file and edit the video format to m4v
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] cwk_and:
I had change the format from m4v to 3gp,

because there is NO different between both of there format.

The reason why i choose 3gp is:

The icon of the video has the preview when view in your computer,m4v doesnot cointain the preview at the icon
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] cwk_and:
Just use the scipt at here is enought,

[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Hanakie:
ok! here i go for my question..after reading all the step and recommended LGCAMERA apps for the market..i start thinking will this mod working together with another camera apps like FX ZOOM camera? ty
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] cwk_and:
the wildfire is actually 5.1MP,

another one is 5MP

---------- Post added at 01:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:14 PM ----------

Dude,lgcamera are not recommended because it does not have zoom and flash while video recording.

But the lgcamera's gallary is well done
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Hanakie:
so means..its work with all camera applications?
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] lupoalberto12:
So is highest 5M Pixel the best?

Bye!

! :) !
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] cwk_and:
Maybe

@lupoalbert012

of course
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] lupoalberto12:
I have just tried: with first "5M Pixel" it makes photo at 5.1MP, with the highest "5M Pixel" it makes photo at 4.9MP.

The mod works very well also with the last build (#201).

Bye!

! :) !
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] cwk_and:
thanks for informing new version of nigtly build,

going to try it later
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] wolfway:
so just to be clear, the .zip file in the original post, this has compressed video right? not 400 MB for 2 minutes of filming? also, will there be a .zip that you can flash in CWM soon or not?

And last but not least: what app do you use to zoom during filming?

cheers
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] cwk_and:
@wolfaway

The original camera app does zoom while recording
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] wolfway:
jesus, how could I have missed that. I was looking for a zoom using the volume buttons (which would be very handy), forgot to see if I could use the zoom option, thanks :D . Too bad the MIUI camera does not use zoom during filming, it's layout is lots lots better than the original CM camera.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] lupoalberto12:
Did you see the new Cyanogen photo app?

It is like Sense photo app: fantastic.

Can we ask to add this mod at the next Cyanogen builds?

I think it would be good for everyone Wildfire users.

Bye!

however,i dun wan to lost my data

T___________________________T

btw,you should also try the tap focus apps on video recording:D
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] lupoalberto12:
So, while you were updating, didn't the upgrade go fine?

Argh, I will make more attention before make a update.

If do you flash again a rom?

"Tap focus apps on video recording"?

I try to tap during recording but it didn't work :confused: .

[Wildfire Themes and Apps] cwk_and:
i meant the apps that i just meantiond in my other thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1283518

[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Nakulkhanna:
confused

hello, i am new to these things.. but am using cyanogenmod7 on my rooted wildfire.

as explained in 1st post i found the "system, etc" location in root explorer but can anybody tell me what does this means? and how to this? "(remember to change to R/W),replace the media profile inside it"??

remember to change R/W means doing what? and replace the media profile in it??

plz tell me how to this... really wanna update my camera

thnks
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Scratch0805:
/system is by default read only (r/o) to stop you messing with it, (r/w) means read write so you can edit files, if you use root explorer there is a button at the top when you enter the system folder to switch it to r/w. Touch that then edit or add/remove your files.

Careful though don't touch things you aren't supposed to unless you know what you're doing and have a nandroid backup, but if you follow the guide you'll be ok.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Nakulkhanna:
hey thanks a lot bro... the way you described really helped me!! :)

and 1 more thing i would like to ask you, i just read your signature and saw that your internal memory is 320mb... so i wanna know that how u did it? i would like to do it as well, if you can provide me a link of a thread in which it has been described... :rolleyes:

BUMP

9.10.2011:Released of CWM zip(take me couple of time to learnt making flashable zip)

The low profile are now edited exactly same with high profile,only the resolution are different.

The 'high' profile record video at HVGA for 15fps,

The 'low' profile record video at QVGA for 20fps.

The reason why i do this because i realise lower resolution will highier fps.

The audio sampling rate from 44.1khz reduce to 32khz to reduce noise
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] lupoalberto12:
So, in this .zip, isn't there upgrade about high profile, right?

Bye!

! :) !
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] cwk_and:
There is,but not impprtant update,

It only reduced the sampling rate from 41khz to 32khz,

because i realised that highier samling rate will only record the windy sound

In the last build of CM 7.1 (#231) changed the "media_profiles.xml".

I checked the differences from old(/original) xml file, CM Team's xml file and your xml file: your xml is better than the CM Team but they add the "audio stereo record".

I think that you can make the same: there aren't any differences about audio configuration or codec.

You can find the new xml file here.
