how to change bitrate on 6Mbps VGA Quality to 8Mbps? in resolution 864 x 480 please help
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Urosz:
hh

This works on xperia mini ics?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Night on the web:
Is this mod compatible with others xperia 2011 (like mini pro sk17i) ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Yes it is. only ICS one that doesn't contain the JPEG Quality improvement.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mehrab2603:
I'm using ICS on Xperia Mini. Which one should I flash? ICS-Camera720@10Mbps.zip or MDPI-JPEG100-720p@10Mbps.zip?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Umm what kind of ics? Unfortunately I don't know if there's an ics for xperia mini from Sony.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mehrab2603:
Yeah there is no official ICS for Mini from Sony. I'm using this.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Well this one is for stock Rom. Sorry mate. You may request the dev of cm to do that though.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] keekokeeko:

Sorry, I don't enought post count, only can Attach file.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Well, as you can read from Arc thread, the quality of image does not improve as much. But the Videos are, since the bitrate is higher.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] keekokeeko:
Thanks for you reply, I don't backup and use this mod, how can I restore to stock camera :).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Well i don't have the old file for Gingerbread. Maybe somebody here can help? Please next time backup first. At least do a Titanium Backup.

1) Can u make "pause" mode in video recording ?

2) If in 1080p video recording possible then adding rendering and increasing ghz we should use it ?

Thanks in advance :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
1. No i can't, don't know how.

2. No way for a single core, software it's possible, hardware just going to crash.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] xmanner77:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
I don't know.. I fear that your CPU is not strong enough.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lokibg:
overclock?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Not as simple as that. The ARMv6 is already outdated in efficiency matter, so it is already at the edge.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Because user Xperia-Ray here reported that with lg camera, 13Mbps is the upper limit before his device starts to crumble. So i decided to stick at 10Mbps as a safe value for all device. Not all can handle 14Mbps i think, depends on phone configuration too.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] guza88:
Thank you hansip87, your post made me want to finally mod my Arc (its all stock and not rotted or modded in any way atm :) ) and to register here at XDA. ;)

I really care about video recording and always thought that higher bit rate would be nice and now here it is! :D

Now, is there any nice ICS based custom rom you recommend me to try with this mod?

And ty again!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
No problem, thanks for the share :) I'd just want to say that media_profiles.xml will only be read with secondary app. Unfortunately primary camera app is 'naughty' so modding primary camera apk is inevitable.

Let's face it, many people likes to use primary apk because it's simpler and more straight to the point (me for example, still searching for secondary camera app that supports touch oriented focus though, none found so far :(). And in ICS its function is getting even more pronounced with the LockScreen able to launch Camera by slider. So the only option is to mod the primary camera app.

Well, i think i'll give alternative later on, which supports 14Mbps quality. :) Me myself wishes to have the source code so it will be much easier to add interface feature so user can select from the interface. But with current standing, it will have to do for now :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
well, any ICS beta stock ROM will do ;) JJ's Hybrid ROM is good if you like the AOSP theme and all optimization inside. Me myself stick with stock ICS Beta though :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Mazellat:
why jpeg100 mod is small screen?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Mazellat:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Are you using the MDPI one inside Ray? Flash the appropriate one (GB-Camera720@10Mbps.zip) the first 2 link is for HDPI device, the MDPI is for LWW/XMP/XM device.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Mazellat:
Ohh my head :) Thank you very much :rolleyes:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mikisonata:
Can this be done on Xperia mini ST15i, and can you wright me a tutorial please, I bought my first Android phone a 3 weeks ago. Thanks!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Use the mdpi one please.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mikisonata:
Thanks for your reply. My second question is, what to do with those two folders "System" and "META-INF". Should I copy them to my phone and replace original ones. I found "system" folder in my phone but I can not find second one "META-INF", what to do now?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zummer22:
You dont have to do anything with those folders. Just flash the .zip file in recovery
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] drsoran2:
has anybody tried my tutorial from the page before? I wonder what others get for results.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MarkMRL:
I just made a few tests with the modded camera to see if there was any improvement compared to stock camera. Only in photos, because I don't care about video that much. I just snapped a pic outside my window and of my shelf with Legos.

Well, when it comes to pictures, they increase from about 1-1.5Mb per picture to 2.5-3Mb, at 8MP.

The quality improves juuuuuust a little bit on outdoor pictures in sunlight. When you see the pictures at full size, there is a bit less artifacts near things than have dark edges. The pictures look a little bit sharper too. When it comes to indoor pictures, they look pretty much the same.

Is it worth wasting twice the space per picture just for a little increase in sharpness, and only in certain situations?

Imo, nope. The camera on this device is not very good, and the improvement of having uncompressed pictures is negligible. It's just not worth the wasted space, as uncompressed pictures look just as bad as compressed ones, and the improvement is only barely noticeable when viewing the pics at 100%. But you have to waste twice the space.

Now I just need to know a way to revert back to stock camera.

Oh, and if someone wants to make some more comparison shots, feel free, I'm in no way an expert on photography.

Here are the samples.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Well, as with all mod precaution, backup before try, backup before try..

and yes, i know and i agree with you with all that size being used, it's not worth it. I prefer default one. But, option is never bad isn't it? ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MarkMRL:
Yeah, of course, and I thank you for trying to optimize it as much as possible. Maybe it does make a bigger difference when it comes to video, but like I said, I don't really care about taking videos as much as taking pictures.

And by the way, I noticed it only changes the apk, so I just pushed the stock semccameraui.apk into system, it was easy.

Also, could there be some way to change other parameters such as sharpening or noise reduction? My main problem with the camera on every new Xperia including the XS is that the camera overexposes the pictures, and it puts some harsh contrast filter on them, and not enough noise reduction. I'm not sure of this, but I've heard the iPhone has the same Sony exmor sensor as Xperia phones, but maybe it was BS.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
It's in the native code unfortunately. :o Unless someone can mod the native files and then we will be in heaven.. :cool:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Lightspeed_x:
@MarkMRL I concurr. I also didnt back up my stock camera apk (Xperia Arc), so now i need it. Can you please post it here, so i can load it back into system?.

@hansip87: Could you use stock camera apk for Xperia Arc and modify just the video bitrate and post it, so we could have better video and stock quality pictures in one apk?

Thanks in advance!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Well i guess without higher bitrate in video, the quality is quite the same (if you're not that nitpicky) so it's better for you to have all stock camera i think :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Lightspeed_x:
Fair enough :-)

Would you please upload it? (if you have access to it)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] yujin_11:
maybe Apple pimped up the native code for the sensor that's why it's better...

that's bad for Sony, i think
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Well anybody would like to share? :) I can share ICS one, but not the GB one.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MarkMRL:
Sorry but I don't have Arc, I only have Ray, and the camera apk is not the same :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Xperia-Ray:
Hi all,

since we startet to mod this apk, here some mod from me :)

I edited the stock icons and change some to make this apk look better.

just swap this folder with your stock folder.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Csacsifiu:
Hi, great work.

Can i change the maxFrameRate to: 25?

Thanks.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Well, try to change the VideoEncodingCap inside media_profiles.xml first. If you don't succeed, i'll try to update the apk for that.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Csacsifiu:
I change it in VideoEncoderCap name="h264" and VideoEncoderCap name="m4v" maxframerate="25"

After that:

error: camera not available.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Hmm okay.. Guess i'll have a look at that later. but with the 14Mbps one, i think even though the cap is 30fps, the average will stay around 25fps. Already tried and that was the result.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Csacsifiu:
I tried the 14mbs version, and the fps did not go under 29fps.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Umm :/ What's your phone? Ray?Arc? What kernel? I too have 29fps as max frame rate, but the average is written as 26fps (it is written like that with K-lite Codec Plugin)

Hi, I gave it a try and found the scenes menu is not working, force closes the app. But in auto mode it works as intended (picture mode).

In video mode, the same happens when trying to select a scene from the menu, or when trying to enable the video light.

I hope this feedback helps a little when you begin modding the apk for the Xperia Arc.

Also, Im including the stock GB 2.3.4 (.62 FW) camera app, so if anyone needs to revert back to stock, it could be used. If you deem it appropriate, please include it in your first post.

Is it possible to mod the apk to save photos in png format?

I have read that the png compression in better then the jpeg (jpeg lib)

can u force the apk to save as png?

good job for the hard work!

P.S: do U know what effect can this lines do? (if enabled)

<VideoDecoderCap name="wmv" enabled="false"/>

<AudioDecoderCap name="wma" enabled="false"/>

and last thing- If U like to disable capture sound U can disable it in build.prop and than U get the off option in the stock camera apk(3 sounds and off option)

Has anybody else noticed the ICS cameras insane automatic ISO settings?

With Gingerbread it usually hovered between ISO-80 and ISO-160, sometimes going higher if need be, but usually staying tastefully low.

With ICS I seem to be getting more pictures around ISO-320 and some even as high as ISO-800 in good lighting conditions, making really poor quality photos :(

Anyone got any ideas if or how this can be tweaked?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
No it can't. Android design specifies jpeg as default and the only supported compression format. Unless you can process the raw data from it yourself (which requires heavy load from CPU).

Haven't tried those two lines. I guess it won't do anything if you stick with default cam.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Well, the only known fix is to adjust the exposure. Nothing else that I know of.

.field public static final EV_PICTURE_GET_RAW_DATA:I = 0xc0 (0xc0=false?)

do you know what is 4?

Update:- I have checked it and cant see any diferencces

Update 2:

In the same folder there is a file colled imageManager.smali

those lines cache my eye :

Max possible quality in jpeg photos is 100 (minimal jpeg loss).

Things that could improve photo quality: raw output (i doubt it's possible, probably chip output only allows jpeg), ppp resolution (that's near more important than jpeg quality itself, currently is 72, quite low, desirable > 150)

edit: can be video profile encoding changed? currently is baseline L3.1, 4 or 4.1 could be great

What is ppp and l3.1?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Maremagnum:
sorry i meant dpi, ppp is in my language

check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC#Profiles and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC#Levels for video

currently video is encoded on baseline L3.1 (you can check with a video player or mediainfo), baseline is low quality, that's why increasing bitrate to 10Mbps is barely noticeable in quality
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Xperia-Ray:
the 72 dpi is not related 4 quality

the actual pixels metter

U can take 100pix image and define at as 72 dpi or 300dpi

the pix arent changed! only the size in cm/mm

DPI only metters IF u talking in dimmenssions - for example 10cmX10cm@300DPI = 1181 X 1181 pixels

hansip87,

have U seen this line in cameraconfig?
