Thanks for sharing your research and findings Misterjunky. I shot video* last week on vacation and was thinking "I don't remember that jerkiness??".

Now I know what to do to resolve (v1.5.3)...since I'm going backpacking for 6 days post Labor day and desire the excellent video capabilities of my Infuse 4G (I carry extra, cheap ebay batteries which seem to work very well).

*Currrent Infused V2...soon to be V1.5.3 (time to do some reading on how to go backwards...I'll figure it out, if nothing else I can return to stock then upgrade from there...I know how to do that :)).

thanks again

re: video recording issue

Here is an idea which may be helpful to you before you start digging into the problem.

Why not ask someone who purchased a Rogers Samsung Infuse i997 which was shipped

with Gingerbread rom from the factory and and ask them to do a mediainfo dump to see

if the 100% stock retail Rogers i997 also has this issue with video recording.

It might be a good place to start.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] the2rrell:
appreciate the work, i didnt know that the cameras where that big a problem. i dont use it that much. but when i did i noticed it RIGHT away....lol

not going to froyo due to it, but im hoping they release the official soon so we can all just be content froyo or not.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Misterjunky:
re: going back to v1.5.3

You are very welcome.

It's easy to the flash v1.5.3 rom coming from v2.1.0 all you have to do is copy or adb push

the 1.5.3 rom zipfile to your internal sdcard and then reboot to recovery menu and select

"wipe data/factory reset" then select "install zip from sdcard" then select the "infuse 1.5.3"

zipfile and press power button.

That's exactly how I did it myself and I had no problems at all.

It will take a lot of extra time to finish rebooting on this first boot.

Let me know how it turned out for you after you do some video recording tests... :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Matt-Helm:
I've tried most of the gingerbread roms and today i'm back to Froyo till the video and the data speed stuff gets worked out. 1.5.3 is a great stable rom!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bedwa:
As I mentioned, I'm going to look into a few things with tue kernel to see if that may be part of it. I don't make any promises, but it could be as simple as something there. :-)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Misterjunky:
Re: FPS

I hope it's something simple too. It might be helpful if someone having

a 100% stock Rogers Infuse i997 phone with Gingerbread rom to to do a

video recording test using mediainfo to see if they get the full

30 fps as per the specifications of the phone. Using Froyo based roms

our phones do get the full 30fps.

(I have a hunch that the stock Rogers GB Infuse do achieve the 30fps)

I would really like to be able to flash Infuse 2.1 GB custom rom without loosing 50% of framerates.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:
I was hoping it would be as easy as it was with the EVO but it is nowhere close...it takes getting into and editing files I am not ready to play with right now :(

I am still too new at this.

In the meantime..help me play with the app "lg camera"....

I just took some video and want to see if the settings override the issues on gb roms

Edit..it didn't ..regardless of what you set the settings at it's still 15 fps :(
[Samsung Infuse 4G] andrawer:
I could tell the difference recording video on Froyo - v1.5.3 immediately coming from Ginger...Infused V2.1.0. Just in time for my trip next week:D.

(Side note: not sure how I got v1.5.3 loaded but it worked...but no issues and I've tested about everything thus far. oh well, my ole mind just doesn't work like it should :eek:)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Jep56:
I haven't read all of these posts. But I did go back to videos I recorded 3 weeks ago, on my Captivate with Continuum v6.2 GB 2.3.4 JVQ rom. They were recorded at 29 frames per second, data rate 3427, bitrate, 3487.

The GB rom on my Infuse, Infused 2.10, it is 15 frames per second, 1801 data rate and 1847 bitrate.

So, it's not all hacked GB roms! Is there a way to copy the camera files from the Continuum ROM and plug it into this one?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bedwa:
Flash continuum and hellraiser patch it. Then report results. ;-)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Jep56:
OK, I just found what hellraiser is. Sounds interesting and may try it! Ayone else try this with the Continuum ROM?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rohit3192:
For roughly same size video.

The Video bitrate on GB rom is almost half of that on Froyo.frame rate is also half.

More bit rate(of course within sane levels) means better video quality,same for audio.

BTW My infuse came with some 3gp demo trailers and those are truly excellent quality.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Misterjunky:
RE: GB Firmware - Roms

It is ALL hacked/custom GB roms if we are speaking of the Infuse i997 phone. (which we are since we are in the Infuse i997 forum here)

And no there is no easy way like copying camera files from Captivate to to Infuse phones whether they have stock or custom roms.

Also, keep in mind that all these tests I made with Froyo stock & custom roms and Gingerbread based custom roms

were all made with the Samsung i997 Infuse phone and not with the Captivate phones. (since this is a Infuse i997 forum)

My thinking is when the DEVS finally get a hold of the AT&T 100% stock Gingerbread firmware/rom for Infuse i997 we no longer

will have this sub-standard video recording issue with our phones.

Right now the DEVS don't have a 100% stock AT&T Gingerbread rom for our Infuse i997 to work with and I suspect that that is the problem.

Before I purchased my Infuse i997 phone I also had the Samsung Captivate phone and never had a video recording issue

at all whether I was using the stock Eclair/custom Eclair or stock/custom Froyo roms.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Misterjunky:
re: FPS

I just looked at the media info dump of those 2 videos, and like I was saying

there is no problem with playback of movie trailers or other videos downloaded

from the web. It's only the homemade video recordings which is the issue here.

I was only conducting these video recording and playback tests with the Samsung Infuse i997 phones so

I have no idea of what the video recording FPS rates are in the specifications for your HTC Inspire phone.

But 15fps is not good at all if that's all you are getting when recording video with your phone.

You may want to try going back to the stock rom which your phone came with and make a video

recording test with mediainfo again to see if you are having the same problems as we have here

with our Infuse i997 phone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:
I am going to test out our inspire tonight for grins and giggles

HTC fixed FPS issues on the EVO after tons of complaints...as of a few months ago audio was an issue but they had increased the FPS for video.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rohit3192:
HTC INSPIRE IS SOLD OUT :( (the clip was on leedroid gingerbread rom)

seems like 15fps is problem with gingerbread roms(unless more people confirm opposite)

Also i observed some experiments like(xoom forum):

(not tried)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Jep56:
Tried it, phone ran alright, videos still at 15 fps. Then camera failed after the first time.

I assume after a data wipe, I can reinstall Infused w/o a problem. As much as I liked Continuum on my old Cappy, it lags on the Infuse. I feel like I have a giant slow Captivate.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
Our video recording bug is included in the hellraiser patch unfortunately, although that does help narrow it down a bit ;). Tried upping the values for MEMSIZE_PMEM and MEMSIZE_PMEM_GPU1 in the kernel, but that didn't help. Also tried messing with media_profiles.xml. No luck. Also tried swapping in some libs and other files from the Galaxy S (libcamera.so, libseccameraadaptor.so, and a few other things). No luck there either. Didn't try swapping the graphics related libs or overlay lib, so someone could try those, but I'm thinking it's either a problem with the kernel which may not be easy to fix or it has to do with the way we're initializing the framebuffer. Did anyone try installing the stock Rogers rom I posted and testing on it to see if the shipped kernel has this problem? Guess I will try it here in a sec. Anyways, might be yet another item that won't be fixed until the AT&T Gingerbread release. *sigh*
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Misterjunky:
re: reinstall

The only way you will achieve full 30fps rates is if you flash stock Froyo

rom or a Froyo based custom rom designed for our Infuse i997 phones.

I personally think after testing all the Froyo based custom roms here in

XDA that the best custom roms currently available for our phones are

either the Infused v1.5.3 or the Infused v1.6.0 custom roms.

There are a couple of other Froyo based custom roms out here in XDA which

will achieve 30fps and work fairly well too but after much testing I think that

the best all around custom roms here are those made by GTG.

If your interested, here is the link to GTG's Froyo based custom roms v1.5.3 & v1.6.0 :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1105413

Be sure to follow the instructions to a "TEE" :)

(the above is just my personal opinion after hours of testing)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
Please try to avoid claiming one rom is the best Misterjunky. None of them are necessarily better than the other ones, they are just different and cater to different preferences. It would be more appropriate to say I like such and such rom the best instead of such and such rom is the best.

K, now back on topic.

A hunch, I'm going to try decompiling the phone apk and see if anything there needs help.... could be related to this... not sure.

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/CamcorderProfile.html

Am I crazy or possibly on something..... And do we have any rogers stock users' info yet?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
But the problem persists even when the Camera apk is changed (CM7, MIUI), so I don't think we'll find the fix there.

No info from Rogers owners yet.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bedwa:
K. Suspect it's in the kernel then..... hmm.....

There or in modules, but suspect more kernel, now to track the info down.....
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Misterjunky:
RE: Rogers Infuse

If after all this time there are no Rogers stock users giving any info, I think

that would most likely mean that those who do have a Stock Rogers phone

are not having the 15fps video recording issues.

If they were having this 15fps issue, many of them would be complaining

about it not only here in xda but from wherever they gotten their phones from.

If I recall correctly, no DEV here on XDA actually has a 100% stock working

Rogers Gingerbread rom dump which works properly with our AT&T phones.

(even before I started this 15fps issue thread & before it was discussed here)

[Samsung Infuse 4G] bedwa:
I did notice that in the GB roms in comparison to the froyo roms that there are missing encoders that are in the system/lib folder that could be contributing. I'm trying a few things (possible, borkage going on) to see if I can fix it, but no dice so far. I do think that I am on the right track however. (A hunch)

15 fps Video Recording bug/issue in Gignerbread Roms

Just found a thread in the Infuse General Forum here in XDA which also deals with the 15fps video recordings.

It looks like basically ALL the Canadian Rogers Infuse phones which came

with stock Rogers Gingerbread roms all have the same 15fps defect too.

If anyone wants to read-up on this topic here is the link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1248983

Perhaps the reason for the delay by AT&T to let us have the Gingerbread rom

update for our phones is that AT&T found out about this 15fps defect or bug and

do not want to release the rom until they fix it.

This is good to know... It means that the reason we are experiencing this bug

has nothing to do with the fact that the DEVS here do not have a 100% stock

official AT&T Gingerbread rom to work with but only have the Rogers Infuse

stock Gingerbread rom which originally came with this video recording bug/issue.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mbworldz:
I did try different Rom, and with GB the video recording is horrible. Right now I only have infused 1.6 and video quality back to normal. I know lots of people don't care about the quality, but occasionally i will do some hd recording, would like to get at least 30fps. Thanks for the hard work. :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] EricNagel:
I'm on the S7 rom, and my video recording is fine even at 720p. I've used it before on froyo and I can't tell any difference.

EDIT: It says its 15fps, but it isn't jerky at all. IDK.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] nascasho:
From what I been reading it seems the problem is in the kernel, not rom. So some of you fancy ninja code guys start diggin' through dat code! :p
[Samsung Infuse 4G] zsolti256:
okay, first I thought there is a problem with my infuse, but now its confimed. I was supprised no one complained in the 2.3 custom rom threads. I too bad Im not a code ninja :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Misterjunky:
re: 15fps

15fps is very jerky. Perhaps you were watching a video which was not

homemade/not recorded on the phone's video camera.

If you cannot tell any difference between 15fps & 30fps

you might consider having an eye exam. :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] EricNagel:
why would I even post that comment if it didn't come from my phone? and yes, I can tell the difference between 15fps and 30fps. I used to have to convert my videos for my old mp3 player to 15fps.

even while panning the camera, it looks fine. thus my post.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Jep56:
Has anyone ever tried copying the Camera apk and firmware from one of the GB ROMs from an SGS 2? I may give it e whirl.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] EternalMelody:
This is ultimately just a suggestion. Misterjunky I would suggest that you refrain from describing that this is a playback issue. From reading this thread I understand that it is a recording issue. Of course, a video recorded @ 15 FPS can only be played @ 15 FPS. But that's just because the file itself is 15 FPS, not because there are playback issues. In layman's forums it might be appropriate, but in a Dev forum such as XDA-devs I would suggest using more technically correct and precise words as opposed to a more layman friendly ones.

Upon reading the title I thought that there is an actual playback issue, while there isn't. Therefore I suggest this.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Misterjunky:
re: SGS2

So far the only Gingerbread roms I know of which will achive 30fps recording

with the new libcamera*.so replacement files are those using Rogers based

gingerbread custom roms like GTG's Infused 2.1.0

Your best bet is to download GTG's Infused 2.2.0 full update and flash it.

GTG just released this update and I flashed it and it works perfectly.

CyanogenMod 7 does not achive 30fps using this replacement method

(just tested it too).

I am not sure about the hellaraiser compatible roms because even though

they use gingerbread based roms, those roms were not made to be used

with our Samsung Infuse phones.

Basically this new method will work on all Rogers based gingerbread custom

roms.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mrzzheng:
Just verified this method works well with Darky ROM + hellraiser beta6. Perfect 30fps video recording (verifed from file details in Windows 7).

Didn't use beta7 as ppl seemed to be having issues with it. Simply used beta6 + UCKI3 modem + camlibs update.

I don't understand what you mean by "come to no evail"?

Everything works except for partial BT, Video Camera recording acceleration and HDMI out, if am correct. But for what it does work it does a better job than any other ROM i have tried out there, and believe me when i say i have tried them all!

Now, I know it is said benchmarks don't give you the whole picture but 4000+ results on Quadrant are something i have never heard of.

Perhaps I am partial to ASOP based ROM's since my Nexus One days, who knows.. ;)
