I must say that on ICS and 1.6 GHz OC even 10 mbps have a little lags BUT on gingerbread 14 mbps it's no lag at all let's hope when sony will release source for ICS devs make this system good
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
if you found something like that, it is constant field. No effect will be done because smali code always create it's own value rather than link the variable to that constant.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Nice info you got there :) But unfortunately, as what Wiki wrote, the 14Mbps is the limit for our phone. So if you look at table, higher level would need 20Mbps and higher fps. Doubt that will work with our phone..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
No it won't sorry. this one requires base framework from SONY IIRC.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Maremagnum:
and displays haven't "dimensions"? try to zoom or watch full screen a 70dpi image vs a 300dpi image and see what happens, you'll be able to zoom and expand a lot further on the 300dpi without losing quality, or why do you think images from dslr cameras (even jpeg) are at 250-350dpi?

it's not a matter of Mbps or bitrate but of encoding quality, baseline< main < high each profile has less quality on same bitrate, unfortounately i don't think android supports anything past baseline out-of-the-box http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html , maybe with an external app..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bassie112:
Hmm at 14mbps I have some lag in difficult situations (dark-light switching) using Arc@1.4GHz on GB (Arconium 8.2). On 10mbps no lag at all. Don't see any differences in quality so I will stick with 10mbps :)

How can I install this to my RayOnium ICSv3 Rom?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Imho, dpi doesn't matter for a movies. Because whatever the dpi, 720p is 720 pixel in height. No more or no less. To support better dpi in the same physical dimension, the pixel count really needs to be pushed up which a smartphone like ray is not capable of (unless you go with that 808 pureview i guess ;) )

About baseline, yeah think it's the limitation of android.

Update:

I have moded the 10mbs GB version to add 5MP 4:3 option

I think that its the most common used size to take pic.

8MB is too big without any benefits at quality.

and 6mp is only 3:2 .

ENJOY!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Wow that's nice :-) could you teach me how? :) would like to have it in ics thanks. Credit will be added to you ofc. ;) in a mean while, still figuring out how to have iso value. Turns out we need to search outside this apk..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Xperia-Ray:
:)

Its easy:

1: go to \smali\com\sonyericsson\android\camera and open CameraConfig:

and just replace the 2MP values with 5MP values (hight&width) - use find&replace - each value apearse twice!

2: go to \res\values and open strings.xml and change 2MP label to show as 5MP 4:3

3:go to \res\drawable-hdpi & \res\drawable and rename 5MP icon as 2mp icon (swap 2mp to 5mp and 5mp as 2mp)

---don't forget to copy the "resources" from build folder to apk (it stores the strings.xml data, classes.dex only stores smali files)

as you can see we have treaked the camera apk to take 5mp image with 2mp setting :-)

and now you can teach me how you change video bitrate ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mydegeneration:
what is the proper way of installing this? I tried overwriting the existing camera in my system/app folder and assigning the rw-r--r-- permission with root explorer but it didn't work.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
He3.. My trick for that is just as simple as using windows grep and find 6000000 in hex and replace it with 10000000 in hex ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Xperia-Ray:
I just did the same, I downloded "string find" and searched for 10,000,000 value (989680 hex)and found it in CameraConfig$3 and moded it to 12Mbs :-)

thanks

and regarding the iso setting- its not the apk's fault, it need's to be enabled in the camera driver, there are camera apk's wich has the iso setting(camerapro for exmp) but it does nothing because our camera driver doesent support manual iso setting :-(

---------- Post added at 08:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 AM ----------

do the following:

1: go to application setting->all: and force stop camera apk and clear data

2:copy the moded camera apk to root folder and change premissions

3:cut the camera apk from root folder and past and replace stock camera apk in system/app

enjoy!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Xperia-Ray:
found easier way:

just add the resulution you like in \res\values\arrays.xml

Update: new version of GB 10Mbs with 8mp,6mp,5mp,2mp,2mp 16:9 options

can't add 3mp 4:3, 3mp 16:9 because ther is stupid bug in the camera apk! 3mp4:3 works but has no icon or label, 3mp16:9 has icon and label but force close when clicked!

I cant fix it because apk wont rebuild if i change the code,
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
yeah after searching iso values from CameraParameters, the driver does not support it darn it :( Umm, wondering if somebody can look at Sony open source driver for camera..

in a mean while, i'll add your feature to my mod :) Your two not working resolution maybe not suitable with camera driver supported parameters.

This is the parameter i got after editing the apk so it logs into catlog:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Freaks88:
Camera Not Found

i have a problem when using your mod, when i finish installed it the camera won't work and it says "Camera not functioning".

I tried ICS-Nordic562-CamHigh mod and GB-CamHigh, so what's happening ??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
ICS or GB gan?? if GB, try the one Xperia-Ray gave.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Xperia-Ray:
I will add 3mp option soon. what you like more? 3mp 4x3 or 16x9? .

I tried to add 7mp 3x2 like SLR but the stupid camera dosent support it:mad:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Mate, read that parameter string above. If the resolution is not listed so no more.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Xperia-Ray:
3mp 4x3 supported. I will add it. I have tried 7mp befor your post.

its so stupid not to support 3x2 ratio add usless 16x9! we are shooting pics not 6mp video!.

and sony knows thing or two in pro SLR cameras!

Update: added 3mp 4:3 option, its GB based from this thread, I forgot to mention that this version is 12Mbs video - I like to be in middle ;-) and I tried to change all RGB_565 bitmaps to ARGB_8888 but cant see diff in size (?). and I replaced the stock apk icon with the new xperiaS one. - enjoy!

for hansip87:

I added <item>THREE_MP_16_VS_9</item> in arrays and just changed the "THREE_MP_16_VS_9" resulution values with 3mp 4:3 values (2048x1536) and change the label 3mp 16:9-> 3mp 4:3 in \res\values\strings.xml
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Xperia-Ray:
why it says jpeg quality 85? and wich video format is better? 420SP or 420P
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
that's the driver default value. but compression value can be controlled with etc/media_profiles.xml Already tried that. not sure about 420sp and 420p though.

RGB_565 is Android sdk default value. never have i read about ARGB_888, so i think it won't correct anything.

Nice mod there, but seems like the only worthy downsize choice is only 5mp imho, unless Nokia PureView algortihm can be run here :p
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Xperia-Ray:
Update: I got mpeg4 video encoder activated!

wich is better for quality?? mpeg4 encoder or h.264?

I think its good news 4 ICS users ! mpeg4 encoder uses less cpu power then h.264 so you can fix the choppy HD camera issue! :)

http://www.y-cam.com/blog/mpeg4-vs-h-264-45/
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Umm, the question is, Is it smoother now with mpeg4?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Xperia-Ray:
I have stock GB so both are smooth even at 14mps, but I saw here that ICS user have HD rec problem. and you can read here that h.264 uses more cpu power than mpeg4

http://www.y-cam.com/blog/mpeg4-vs-h-264-45/

Try it on your ICS:

in gb it in the videocontroller.smali
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Thanks, but make sure that you have it in the right place, so many conditional branches there. in ICS the format is a bit different. so i need to put it at different place.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Xperia-Ray:
try here:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Hey, your solution (with 0x3) really fix the ICS laggyness! :D the framerate is constant at 29fps now nice. But the curios thing is, the bitrate is cut into half (7Mbps) Any idea there?

PS: If you look into the upper value (0xf) it is to set fraerate to 15fps. so the one you changed there is not the correct one. I edit it when the framerate is set at 30 (0x1e), some line above it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] xgeo88:
Can someone help me... How can I put this to my rayonium ICS v4 ROMs... I have no idea how install this with my phone
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Xperia-Ray:
I changed the v6 value- it contains the videoEncoder id.

have you tryed to scan 4 7mbs value? waht is your max value for mpeg4 profile?.

maybe there is seperate profile settings for h264 and mpeg4

I am in collage now. I will try to help when I will be at home.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
No i meant that if you put the videoEncoder id after that 0xf (which means 15fps) that means that the profile given is not for the high quality one. if you found 0x1e above that, now that indicates that we are setting the High quality one, which the encoder id can be replaced to produce the expected result of MPEG4 encoder.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
ICS User please test the latest Mod :) I tried it and it really remove the lags. Hope it is working for you guys.. :) Thanks to Xperia-Ray for the tips!

Hi, Everyone. i am BRAND new to android OS. i've been using IOS until recently i got Samsung Galaxy S2 i777 ATT--running android 2.3.6 gingerbread, for $9.99 (gre8t deal huh)

1) can someone PLEASE give me Step-By-Step guide on rooting/unlocking my device?

2) what is the VERY 1st thing i should do with my phone before rooting?

--also i dont have any MicroSD--i dont use tons of App or anything so is there a problem me not having MicroSD?

--also i am Wi-Fi cover 100%, 99.99% of the times and NOT wanting to use ATT Data

once rooted--will my Internet work (must hav for myself).

3)what are ROMs (i kno little abut them) but, which one are best & how should i keep up-to-date with it?

4)once unlocked my phone, can i continue using WITHOUT paying for DATA?---like i do with my Iphone (turning 3g & cell data OFF)

i personally wana thanks to all hard working devs, i've read many posts befo. posting this and they seems to know what they doing, THank you once again!!

Start here, you will find everything for rooting.

Just a heads up as well, the search button and google should become your best friend. This forum is a self service forum, people don't take to kindly to those that don't do their research before posting.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gsrrr:
If you are still confused after reading the link yoderk posted, then maybe you should not mess with your phone.

Just spend some time reading. Read more and rarely make new threads. This phone has been out for a while now so if you have a question, it probably has been asked before and answered.

1. It's in the link posted.

2. Turn it on

-no

-yes (unless you fuxxor it up)

3.a Did you google it?

3.b no such thing as "best" or else there would just be 1 ROM and everyone would be using the same one.

4. wifi? sure
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yoderk:
Internet will work fine after rooting.

If you just got the phone, I would seriously recommend taking about 2 weeks to read up and figure out what you are doing. Everything is fairly simple once you know the terms and common lingo. Don't jump in and come out with a nice paper weight.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] blackplague1347:
I suppose my previous post was less than helpful. 'pologies.

1) There is a thread that will give you step by step instructions for rooting your phone. "Zedomax" has videos available as well. Check out galaxys2root.com under the AT&T section. Yoderk's post will prove helpful, should you read it.

2) The first thing you should do is turn the phone on :D Kidding. Backup your apps and data, just in case. Backing things up is usually a good first option no matter what you're doing with your phone.

-- No MicroSD card, no problem. Your phone has a few gigs of memory built into it. Just buy one if you need more storage space on your phone.

-- Internet will work just fine if you root successfully. Same goes for Wifi.

3) The best ROM is the one you like the most. Try them out and see for yourself.

4) I'm not sure what you're asking with this one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] desichiko23:
THANKS everyone, & once again SORRY---lately thats what i been doing READIN everything i can about Android

can i still proceed with old files? or there are upgrades that i keep missing?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yoderk:

one more quest. is Titanium backup free? and wht is most imp things to back up besides Apps?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shadow65781:
I would suggest using it stock for a week, see if it does everything you need it to.

If it does, then just run stock.

That way there's no risk.

If you do decide to flash then like everyone else is saying, read and reread. Spend some time, several days just reading because there might be some little bit of information that you might miss, but is critical to a successful flash.

Good luck and welcome to freedom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yoderk:
Well you can get the free version but I highly recommend getting the pay version as it saves time hand over foot as it will bulk install all of your apps. As far as apps, maybe sms if you need them that's all I do. Just a word of advise with TB never restore system apps to a different rom, it'll give you a headache.

Hello everyone.

So basically im a total noob at this sort of stuff and though i did find one similar thread, it wasnt of much help.

Anyhow, i got a used S 2 off a mate here in Pakistan (it has an orange logo on it). It works fine but when i connect it to Kies to upgrade it to ICS it says firmware upgrade not supported.

Please id appreciate it alot if you could help me out with this in some detail.

Thank you. :-)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
kies will not support it because it may have been flashed with a firmware that is not out yet in Pakistan.

When you upgrade with out using kies or from another region there are changes in a few files that kies will not recognize thus saying the firmware is unrecognized.

Current official ics is still new and only a few areas have the upgrade on kies, the rest of the the world may not see it until the end of the year or early next year.

If you want to upgrade to ics wait a month or so to allow current ics developers a chance to review and modify the official ics files. Then you can flash it yourself.

While you are waiting it will give you a change to read up and understand flashing techniques.

So guys, i was going to port a rom using Mr. Highway's porting guide and i was looking at screen resolutions on different devices. I noticed that the galaxy s2 has the same screen resolution as our phone. 480*800. How hard would it be to port a rom?
[myTouch 4G General] saranhai:
you're going to port from a Galaxy S 2? have you ported any other ROMs?

my BIG suggestion is that you port from an HTC device first, like the Desire HD, as it is the easiest to port. once you get the experience, you can start porting from other devices and such.... i don't know about the Galaxy S so much... but i think they do things quite differently than HTC devices...
[myTouch 4G General] cnote74:

It works but what it does depends on what rom you use. It's not very usefull IMHO. It's more of a gimmick. On stock roms you can use it to scroll home screens, change songs, scroll in browser etc.

So I made choose to let them fix the problem and now I have rehab, I can't check the time unless there is somewhere a clock, I can't check or answer mine mail dure breaks on work and I'm not reachable until the phone returns.

I guess many off you also miss your smartphone if its gone for warranty and it feels like rehab.
