[Motorola Droid 3] somemadcaaant:
Hi Guys,

I've fiddled around with the Camera application and found some other tweaks that some of you might like.

This goes hand in hand with Rotkaeqpchen's low light FPS tweaks above.

I've also modified the Camera apk to increase image quality above 100% which has a bug of fc on the Panorama mode so im trying to work that one out, modded application is attached if you wish to try it called MODDED-Cam-installer.zip, once extracted from zip copy to system\app folder on your phone.

Some more digging around found the following:

build.prop - found in System folder

----------

Increased video bitrate past the default 15mbp to over 30mbp is possible and looks really nice at 1080P, no stuttering with frames and in high quality audio.

Enabled slow and fast motion recording in the camera menu.

mp4(extention),h264,30(fps),30000000(bitrate),aac,128000,44100,2(audio channels)

ro.media.camcorder.1080p=mp4,h264,30,30000000,aac,128000,44100,2

ro.media.camcorder.720p=mp4,h264,30,15000000,aac,128000,44100,2

ro.media.camcorder.d1NTSC=mp4,h264,30,6000000,aac,128000,44100,2

ro.media.camcorder.vga=mp4,h264,30,4000000,aac,128000,44100,2

ro.media.camcorder.cif=mp4,h264,30,1500000,aac,128000,44100,2

ro.media.camcorder.qvga=mp4,h264,15,500000,aac,64000,44100,2

ro.media.camcorder.mms=3gp,h264,15,128000,amrnb,12200,8000,1

ro.media.camcorder.mmsres=qvga

ro.camcorder.zoom=true

ro.media.capture.maxres=8m

ro.media.capture.fast.fps=4

ro.media.capture.slow.fps=120

ro.media.capture.flash=led

ro.media.capture.flashMinV=3300000

ro.media.capture.torchIntensity=40

ro.media.capture.flashIntensity=70

ro.media.panorama.defres=3264x1840

ro.media.panorama.frameres=1280x720

ro.camcorder.videoModes=true <- This will enable fast and slow motion recording.

media_profiles.xml - found in Etc folder

-----------------

Increasing the following Max values will enable higher settings for the above to work:

<VideoEncoderCap name="h264" enabled="true"

minBitRate="64000" maxBitRate="30000000"

minFrameWidth="176" maxFrameWidth="1920"

minFrameHeight="144" maxFrameHeight="1080"

minFrameRate="1" maxFrameRate="120" />

TICameraCameraProperties.xml - found in Etc folder

-------------------------------

Still unknown as to what this file does, first appears to be info only on settings for the front and back cameras, as i've not had much luck in changing values like sharpness/brightness/contrast, file format etc.

Only thing I've been trying out is the low light tweaks, mine are currently set to:

<prop-framerate-range-values>(5000,30000),(10000,30000),(12000,30000),(15000,30000),(25000,30000),(25000,120000)</prop-framerate-range-values>

and

<prop-framerate-range-default>25000,30000</prop-framerate-range-default>

I don't know why all this couldn't have just been in the camera app like every other company, Motorola doesn't like to make anything easy.

Have fun.

Edit:

Easy Clockwork installers attached.

- MODDED-Cam-installer.zip - Modded Build.prop, Modded Media_profiles, Modded TiCamera and modded Camera app installer.

- ORIGINAL-Cam-installer.zip - Modded Build.prop, Modded Media_profiles, Modded TiCamera and original (dedexed) Camera app installer.
