Hi RubberBigPepper. Sorry for the delay. I just saw your reply. This is very confusing. I thought you renamed it opencamera, as it very much seemed the same application?

So, is that separate program code?

Something I'm very interested in is a professional video camera application, using a pro codec. So have been interested in putting together a team to do such, or work with companies.

I'm a bit tied up at the moment and often sick, so do not want to retrain myself (I come from the days when C was a novelty) for years just to do that. But what I wanted to see was a paid pro video codec using all the CPU/GPU/DSP resources in parrallel to get maxinum resolution and datarates (and high-speed file system or data streaming off device to storage to by pass Androids freakishly contorted from let handeling) that people buy for $10 or $20 and showed up on system codecs so any camera application could use it. Well worth the money to produce a more professional image and even gradable image.

There are a number of opensource codec efforts. Open Linux and Java code for compatible ProRes files (though 12 bit+ 4:2:2 mode is really needed), Cineform (Raw version needs a $20 license per user, so the replacement standard for cineform maybe better), Cinema DNG (theoretically, I wonder if some phone might run that in Raw Bayer at video rates, like Vizzygig can with Jpeg on the iPhone to produce 5k+ video). Now there are various forms of better HDR jpeg and and a new 6:1 visually lossless new form of jpeg, and different ways you can get Raw Bayer on them, like the new Black Magic Raw does. So, plenty of low cost options.

The other thing, which might be handy in your app, and scan user loadable and WYSIWYG definable GUI menus and hardware controls. So people could just change everything to suite there filming needs, and add external physical controls through Bluetooth, wifi direct etc, USB and NFC standard external control api's. The user registered the hardware, and the app sees it. With a little java scripting to do more complex functions. This would be great for anytime somebody does do a pro codec on an Android phone. :)

People have been on me for years about kickstarting a phone, and I am just sick of the quality of android camera app in video. Apple just has it over Android, because they make it easy for apps to access stuff, except in accessing external storage. With a pro app, maybe people could record FullHD at a descent enough rate for a journalist to use. People seem to be enthusiastic about doing FullHD, as professionally, many people still seem to consider it good enough.
[Android Apps and Games] RubberBigPepper:
Good day! Yes, my app lgCamera and OpenCamera are separate applications

I develop only lgCamera.

About professional videorecording. Android device is a lowcost device for everybody, so there are no any features to build professional videorecording.

And if a manufacturer of Android device did not built-in any 10-12 bit videorecording, that program can not record more than device capable.

Sorry, about it. lgCamera only opens hidden features of camera module (and encoder GPU) built-in device.
[Android Apps and Games] Stevio2:
Thanks RBP. I've just sent a support message as you requested.

I'm meaning actually write the code to do these things, so the device doesn't need that support. A number of sensors have 10-12 bit+ modes, though manufacturer might not code it, existing DNG might do it, and utilize an alternative faster encoding (codec) and storage path using programmable code under camera api2. Indeed, android does less than the hardware to n it is capable of, regrettably. But I mention it anyway, incase somebody out there wants to give it a try. From my calculations there are phones that have enough processing resources to do 4k cineform (cineform is simple and fast in software).
[Android Apps and Games] Sunnygoldfish:
I download free version lgcamera for my galaxy s8 plus to record 4k 60fps, i like the app, how to buy full version? When i try to buy directly from the spp i got an error :"to see this content pleade install, and configure an app to web navigation"
[Android Apps and Games] RubberBigPepper:
You can donate me to PayPal (rubberbigpepper@gmail.com). A few dollars. And put IMEI and email address in comments. I will send to you regkey.
[Android Apps and Games] Sunnygoldfish:
You cand add qHD 1440p@60fps?
[Android Apps and Games] RubberBigPepper:
Already added for devices can support it.

Galaxy S7 edge can record 1440x1080x60fps
[Android Apps and Games] Sunnygoldfish:
2560x1440p@60 fps not 1440x1080
[Android Apps and Games] racife:
H265 does not work for my S8 exynos.

Also, the fps can range from 20 minimum to 60 fps when i shoot 4k, is there any way to set it to constant fps?
[Android Apps and Games] unguamoray:
Is there a paid version, that has manual control over shutter, iso and focus in video mode?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Noobonic:
I've tried the other focus modes, still doesn't work even when I tap the screen.
[Android Apps and Games] darkanubispr:
not full screen picture on HTC HD2 but a better quality then miui cam
[Android Apps and Games] JVogler:
This app seems well out of beta stage, what exactly are we testing? Just trying to work out bugs on all devices and support more? So far everything seems to be working fine on Atrix. I get 1/2 second stutters every so often when recording video...but I get this on stock camcorder as well. The phone is definitely powerful enough to where this shouldn't happen, especially when recording to internal memory with low resolution. I've always thought it had something to do with the fact I use my phone for work also and have a ton of apps installed. So something in the background must be syncing, or checking location, etc. I've always wanted in a video recording app, the option to suspend ALL background action from happening while recording, so all resources are devoted to recording. It seems my videos always get interrupted with a phone call, notification, message, or something. Does anyone know if Android even allows an app to have that much control over a phone?
[Android Apps and Games] Noobonic:
Why not use airplane mode? That would kill all calls, notifications, etc.
[Android Apps and Games] unicat13:
Not working on EVO 3D, preview ok but, shooting picture freezing app.
[Android Apps and Games] RubberBigPepper:
For HTC Evo 4G (Desire HD) works (on stock ROMs) this settings:

-Video encoder H.264

-Video bitrate 5mbit

-Audio encoder AAC

-Audio samplerate 44100

-Audio bitrate 128000

And set FrameRate to 30 FPS (or to auto may be).

Desn't Work on HTC Sensation XE ARHD

It desn't Work on my HTC Sensation XE ARHD, aither photo capture and record video. Saddly, it worked to another phone but didn't work on mine. So please make it compatible with HTC Sensation XE too ;)

Thaks for the attentions...
[Android Apps and Games] Locky Loki:
Slow shutter speed?

Is there any chance that you can add slow shutter speed? 2 seconds?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] nolimit06:
Same here :(
[Android Apps and Games] Kikoshi:
heey!

Love your camera app :) i bought it from the "play"market.

Im using the EpicTouch4G by Sprint.

When i have the app on, and i shut the screen, then i turn it on to switch to the video from withing the app, it resets the phone. Im running stock gingerbread EL29 with a CWM Kernel/Rooted, another bug is when recording video for some reason while recording at 1080p, with camera settings like this

h.264 30mbit

aac 128000

mp4 30FPS​

While saving to External SDcard 32gb. The video stops recording by itself after 15s to 17s.

Though when saving to Internal SDcard, it doesn't seem to crash :/.

Just adding my 2c's :)
[Android Apps and Games] mad_max911:
latest 6.4 b2 fixed "green corruption lines and messed screen" from 6.3 but still no auto exposure on CM9/Panaroid Android ROM... (talking about video recording with fixed focus (galaxy s2)). Hope fox fix, please...!!!
[Android Apps and Games] RubberBigPepper:
6.4 beta 3

Some improvements and bugs fixed for HTC phones
[Android Apps and Games] RubberBigPepper:
What focus-mode did you set?
[Android Apps and Games] shaffaf:
a feature i need

Sometimes when we take fotos because of the flash it gets ruined .. if we can have a the flash to act like a torch we can take better fotos ..
[Android Apps and Games] mad_max911:
Tried both "fixed" and "infinity"... Also tried the trick with tapping on screen prior to recording wich used to work on 2.24... Btw, on other ics ROM-s (samsung official), auto expoisure works even with 6.3...
[Android Apps and Games] El Queson:
Thanks for the update.

But now its giving me double vision. Cool effect ,none the less, but its still not working correctly.

HTC Evo 3D.
[Android Apps and Games] RubberBigPepper:
As I said, autoexposure does not work on SGS2 if focus mode did not set to "continuous-video".
[Android Apps and Games] RubberBigPepper:
double? May be you select camera 3d device.

Try to click camera change button and U will see what happend
[Android Apps and Games] El Queson:
that was the first thing I checked. Thinking maybe my boys moved it.

But no it was on 2D . Maybe ill move some setting around see what happends.
[Android Apps and Games] mad_max911:
At the moment or it is planned for expoisure not to work on fixed focus modes? As it worked on GB... Many Galaxy S2 users use LgCamera for video capturing as stock camera is experiencing stuttering while trying to refocus during video recording....
[Android Apps and Games] okty2k:
I don't see ISO mode selection... or am I blind?!

Is it only available on PRO version?

Great app otherwise! :)
[Android Apps and Games] agen007:
Still doesn't work on my HTC Sensation XE...

I think it's depend on camera setting on this app, but i dont know what setting is work for mine...any idea :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] itandy:
6.4 beta 3 fixed my problem. Now can save the picture. Will test the rest of the functions. Thanks! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] jhayton:
I love your Volume Control app so you know Ill be checking this out too!
[Android Apps and Games] josuearisty:
Lets try! I used once and I loved it!
[Android Apps and Games] geenyous:
Photo quality is quite good, better than the stock htc one x camera app and about the same like the best camera app I tested to far, camera FV-5 (auto mode).

But video quality can't compare, I tried various resolutions, bitrates and enodings (always 30 framerate), it either looks a lot worse than stock cam app (blurry) or crashes completely. Also, from time to time there is a lag when taking a pic while filming. Also, the stock cam app autofocuses while filming, which I have not seen in your app.

I too miss some of the features of the htc app, like continuous burst mode (up to 99 pics) when long pressing the shutter button (maybe add an option in settings to change the behaviour of the shutter button?) and slow motion mode in video.

Also, do you think you could give us the option to have the shutter funtion on vol up not only on vol down, the one x is quite long... ;)

If you could fix these issues and add these functions I will certainly buy your app, can't wait to get rid of sense and go CM9 or AOKP! :D

EDIT: After seeing Laurentius26's video I decided to try again with his settings as the quality of his video is about as much as I can ask from my mobile device but then the app froze on me, giving me a black screen. Same black screen also in the stock cam app, had to reboot. This issue also seems not to be 100% fixed yet. FYI, it happened when I wanted to set the auto stabilize setting...
[Android Apps and Games] philseven:
So far so good on tf101 looks great not so grainy like with stock camera.
[Android Apps and Games] _Sofos_:
SgsII user here, familiar with your work and i have to admit, your app is our last hope for some decent photo/videos..

Keep up the good work.
[Android Apps and Games] jerryhou85:
Compared to Camera ICS, the video recording seems to "zoom in" a lot? I mean the video this app recorded captures smaller range of view than that of Camera ICS.
[Android Apps and Games] RubberBigPepper:
My HTC Sensation XE settings:

1920x1088, H.264, MPEG4, 15 mbit (20 maximal, if above-recording error), AAC/44100/128000, 30FPS (if auto-recording error).

My HTC One X settings:

1920x1080 (x1088 works too), H.264, MPEG4, 30 mbit (15-30), AAC/44100/128000, 30FPS (can be auto).
[Android Apps and Games] tmaniac:
The pictures this app makes are really good!

but the review of the picture is not really showing up after you make the shot.

i set the preview to 5s but when i take the picture the only thing that changes is the ui (the screen just shows the camera throughput in stead of the picture)

And as asked before, is it possible to switch take-picture button to volume up? (and focus to volume down)
[Android Apps and Games] RubberBigPepper:
You need to compare recorded video (BTW, what phone?).
[Android Apps and Games] RubberBigPepper:
Now you can set VolumeDown to capture and VolumeUp to focus. Is it not enough?
[Android Apps and Games] tmaniac:
Well, the OneX is a big phone, it would be ideal to be able to switch those 2 :)
[Android Apps and Games] Shahrokh.KING:
Continuous-video was working in v6.25, sgs2 ics
[Android Apps and Games] agen007:
Which ROM you're using right now for HTC Sensation XE...?!

I used Camera MOD for my ARHD ROM, i think that's the problem...:rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] geenyous:
Just tried again, setting video stabilization on htc One X causes the camera to get borked (on all apps), only reboot helps...
[Android Apps and Games] Oliie23:
Anyone has some good settings for galaxy nexus?
[Android Apps and Games] RubberBigPepper:
Stock 4.0.3 (I use only stock or stock+root ROMs and tune my apps to stock ROM)
[Android Apps and Games] agen007:
Thanks, i'll try later. I found 'lag' video recording in my stock ROM camera app. I think HTC Sensation XE didn't use 30fps constantly, i just try to find another apps (or Camera MOD) that makes video recording in XE doesn't have an annoying lag...

With 1,5GHz processor, the video recording process in XE should powerfull, at least constant frame rate...
[Android Apps and Games] RubberBigPepper:
No one phone can record constant FPS, only variable.

CPU does not record video (does not compress frames). Separately device compress frames (and audio). CPU only synchronize video and audio streams and write media stream to SD-card.

Hmm, on my Galaxy Nexus works:

1920x1080, H.264, MPEG4, 15 mbit, AAC 44100/128000, 30 FPS.
[Android Apps and Games] RubberBigPepper:

[Android Apps and Games] samsanchez88:
On Galaxy Nexus running stock 4.04, when switching from photo to video, screen is black for about 8 to 10 seconds before image from lens shows
[Android Apps and Games] garychencool:
I like how you can change the frame rate and such, even the bit rate without breaking into root or any thing like that.

Nice app overall.
[Android Apps and Games] knoxploration:
New user here on HTC One X. I installed from the market; not sure if that differs from the version here.

A few thoughts:

* Support for burst-mode shooting would be great.

* So would support for our multi-level flash lamp in video capture (it seems I can turn the flash on and off, but not control the brightness)

* Exposure compensation runs from -10 to +10 (or similar, I haven't got the app in front of me). It would be nice if that could be rewritten to display like a real camera, in EV steps (I'm guessing probably 1/3, 2/3, 1EV, etc.)

* The review function is incorrectly called "preview" in config, and as noted by somebody else, doesn't work. The UI changes after my shot is taken for the time I configured, but the live feed continues and my captured image is never shown.

* If I enable any of the filter functions (monochrome, negative, etc.) in video mode, I get one frame of the preview and then it stops updating. Switching to a new filter causes another single frame to update before a repeat lockup. If I enable the same filters in still-image mode, the preview feed works just fine and shows the filter correctly.

* I'd like to see a dedicated menu button that matches the app styling. Right now, I get the standard HTC three-button menu bar, which is ugly and wastes a lot of screen space that could be used for larger app controls.

* Edit: One more. Currently you can configure the volume rocker to do AF for volume up, and shutter for volume down. I'd like to be able to reverse that though: shutter for volume up, and AF for volume down.

Great app, I'm very much looking forward to seeing it improve further, and will be buying the full version shortly, once I've had a chance to do some more testing and make sure the most important parts all work for me... :-)

That video is not recorded at 100Mbps (it may be configured that way, but it isn't recorded that way.)

According to MediaInfo, it is a 34.9Mbps MPEG-4 Part 2 clip with 96Kbps mono AAC audio.

It's also still dropping frames. Lots of them, unfortunately. I count eight dropped frames just in the first five seconds of your video.

Very weird choice of frame rate, too: 28.27 frames per second? That's going to cause transcoding and lost quality for anything other than PC playback. I'd much rather it stuck with just standard frame rates and let me specify a fixed frame rate. (23.976, 25, 29.97, 50, and 59.94 fps are the common ones.)
[Android Apps and Games] agen007:
:rolleyes: just make me more confused. I used 32gb class 10 card and still found problem in video recording. I've compared it with my samsung s2 and sony experia s, only mu htc sensation xe facing this problem. So, problem on hardware...software...or...brainware lol :D
[Android Apps and Games] arjcba:
It's amazing what you have done with this app, congrats man! :D

Thanks, i can now shoot at 848x480 / 30fps / 100 Mbit / Auto-rotate / Video Stabilization using my Moto Defy (CM7) :cool:

*at least i can set it like that :D

Hi I tried it on my HTC EVO 3D running CleanROM reborn GB. It apparently works, although it took about 6 taps on the back button to finally exit. I'll play with it some more and let you know how well it works. Thanks for this!!!

EDIT: It toggles into 3D mode with the front camera switch! So far it doesn't seem to save the pix in 3D, but the hardware switch is in the 2D position. Very promising!!
[Android Apps and Games] t12icky0:
does this replace the stock ICS camera? or does it just install a new camera like vignette, hdr camera+, etc??
[Android Apps and Games] guitardoc64:
It installs as a separate camera.

OP, as a side note, I know it wasn't designed with the EVO 3D's dual camera setup and it actually working is pretty impressive, but it locked up in 3D trying to save the pic, and I had to battery pull. No big problem, just reporting what I have found.
[Android Apps and Games] t12icky0:
ok here we go

Evo 3d

ICS zr3d rom

1.4hboot

It freezes the camera app when i take a pic with it. it lets me exit the program by pressing back but the program freezes when i click the take photo button.

[Android Apps and Games] jerryhou85:
I'm using Galaxy SII.

The video seems nicer. But I found one issue (?maybe), sometimes it lost its focus itself. I need to move or shake the phone a little bit to let it re-focus. Is that a problem?

In all, I'll keep this app and remove Camera ICS. :D

BTW, is it possible for you to combine camera and camcorder to one app?
[Android Apps and Games] RubberBigPepper:
It is one app, but with 2 shortcuts.

To refocusing press to screen while recording.

[Android Apps and Games] audino:
Hi,

Im using it with my S3 and got following issue, zooming in fullhd videos works on live view, but later on the video got wired colors and is lika a multiple picture.

can you bring back high fps values and get them working like 60 or s e

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Laurentius26:
Thank you for the new beta 3 update. :)

Testing the camcorder with the following video settings on my HTC One X:

Scene mode: Action

Video resolution: 1920x1080

Video encoder: H.264

Video file format: MPEG4

Video bitrate: 60Mbit

Video framerate: 30

First impression all runs fine.

Like I mentioned in my previous post, with H.264 video encoder any video bitrate above the 60Mbit makes the app hang.

It fails to record above the 60Mbit selection.

On 60Mbit it works fine.

@Dev,

Are you working on improving the zoom?

It looks like the volume buttons zoom smoother put that could be a placebo effect as well as I would love to see these do smoother zoom. :)

I've only short tested the app but will keep you updated, so far no hangs with the above settings.
[Android Apps and Games] starbase64:
@Laurentius26

30fps are unrealistic, it can be recorded max 24fps.

or you have a trick for 30fps?
[Android Apps and Games] nvt992:
trying with my galaxy mini. i must say it GREAT. i can record video at res 640.480 @@

impossible.@@ but it really happen.u must know samsung say our camera only can record video at res QVGA 320.240

so much thanks :D

the only problem is just framerate only 10, also with the scence action.any way to make it more?about 15? because with stock camera app, i can record at res 320.240 with 15fps. in this app and other camera app, i can only record at 10fps max,with all res can be(include 320.240) so i think problem it only the config it not right.

devs or anyone can help me, please looking for this!
[Android Apps and Games] Laurentius26:
It's not unrealistic my friend.

If you use the same settings as me post # 99 you can get 28 fps.

And don't forget 'scene mode: Action', as that's important.

If you download the windmill video I've uploaded in post # 17 you can verify as well, as it's 28 fps.
[Android Apps and Games] starbase64:
reality (29fps but not fullhd and 60MBit :confused:):
[Android Apps and Games] Laurentius26:
Sorry but I'm not a video compression/encoding expert, I'm just testing the app.

How do you see it's not Full HD?

And what's wrong with 60Mbit?
[Android Apps and Games] starbase64:
Hi,

the windmill video has 1280x720 29fps @35MBit.

you can see in windows explorer > right click > details or media info app

cheers

starbase64
[Android Apps and Games] RubberBigPepper:
What's wrong?

Set to fullHD and scene-mode to Action.

Also you can exposure compensation set to negative values (but picture will be darker).

And FPS depends on lights condition of scene.

About sound: set it to AAC, 48000/256000 and you will beat S3.
[Android Apps and Games] starbase64:
Yes, i've set to fullHD, but the app records 1280x720 :confused: fullHD = 1920x1080
[Android Apps and Games] RubberBigPepper:
Hmm, try to set 1920x1088
[Android Apps and Games] Laurentius26:
Thanks,

With the windmill video I've enabled these settings:

Video resolution: 1920X1080 but the actual video is 1280x720 on my desktop?

Also the scene mode is set to 'action'

Where can I enabled FullHD?

Edit; I see the above post now, Starbase64 is having the same result.
[Android Apps and Games] Laurentius26:
I did a little test, now it's ok.

1920x1088

But 23 FPS this time, that's because of the light circumstances?
[Android Apps and Games] starbase64:
Hi,

after reinstall the app, fullhd works. but 23fps max :(

sound is really good > 256kbit stereo :D

5MBit = 23fps

17MBit = 23fps

35MBit = 23fps

...

cheers
