I agree that was my problem BEFORE installing. However, afterward 0 of the two mics were working, definitely because audio bitrate was above maximum. I only say it with such certainty because installing the apk and not media_profiles.xml preserved audio recording (albeit still muted from only having 1 Mic)...but 1>0 ;x

THANK YOU

FINALLY!

finally i can save my pictures in external card! :D

First camera mod i found that works on cm10! :D

THANK YOU :D
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Urinophoria:
Just came in on this one, still reading thru the thread, I really love this camera. I actually came here (today) because I'm running aokp (jb) with the kt747 kernel and was getting super-quiet audio on video recorder. After flashing 1.62 there is no sound at all. All of the other features work great, and in playing around with it for about an hour, I havent had any other issues. Definitely not a deal-breaker, the rest of the camera more than makes up for the lack of audio.

Just that, I'm noticing in the change logs that in v1.62 there was an audio fix applied, is there anything I need to do to get it working from here?

Edit: sorry, I guess this is need to know. I did get far enough thru the thread to learn to wipe data (gallery?) And cache/dalvik and fix permissions. I did it before and after flashing, just to be safe.

Another edit: sorry, just realized i was in the int'l version forum, please disregard.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Eddiemc:
Please provide the op with detailed information.

1. Logcat

2. Version, rom, kernel, and mods

Without this it is impossible to use the information for anything, and it will only make new users vary and scared of running a great mod.

With this information the op can fix the issue and provide an even better, more stable app to the community.

Just my 2 cents
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] omar300:
good catch,

im on cm10 0911 nightly, my front camera was showing very narrow result, pictures were vertically stretched.

But i changed setting from 1.9mp to SXGA and it works like charm.

try changing setting and see if it works for you.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] pastert33:
Thank you for this great addition to AOSP roms! The two things I've noticed:

Just had to make sure. Is there a way to revert back.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Urinophoria:

Is there any possible way to increase the frames per second and one of the video resolutions say 720 P and make it 60 frames per second
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] nicogetz:
If you didn't make a backup ahead of time, you can still revert (to the camera that came with your rom) by opening the flashable zip of whatever rom you're running (I use EStrong's File Explorer, but anything should work) and extract /system/app/gallery2.apk and /system/etc/media_profiles.xml. Replace your existing /system/app/gallery2.apk and /system/etc/media_profiles.xml with the ones you just extracted and reboot. If all else fails, dirty flashing your rom should work too... Sorry if this is obvious, happy if it helps

---------- Post added at 11:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 PM ----------

I was wondering the very same thing myself, and with my limited knowledge, thought it might be as simple as editing /etc/media_profiles.xml . If you've never looked at this file, it's basically a list of the different resolutions each camera can take along with their respective video codecs, frame rates, and bitrates, as well as the audio codec, sampling rate, and bitrate. At the very end are the max bitrates/framerates of the codecs listed. I thought it might be as simple as changing both the framerate of 720p and the video codec's max framerate from 30 to 60, but instead I got FCs as soon as I hit the record button. I then tried putting the video bitrate to its maximum, thinking maybe having twice as many frames needs a higher bitrate, but this didn't help...I knew it couldn't have been that simple, but part of me hoped lol.

Long story short, I have no idea what the answer is to your question, but I am also curious...whoever DOES know the answer, can you explain why this doesn't work? What else is involved that I have no idea about? (I'm not asking anyone to teach me, just tell me what/where I need to learn ;) )
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] fabzbear:

1080P video recording works fine for me on my Verizon s3 running PA 2.10 with KT747 kernel. However audio is very very quiet. Could barely hear myself in the sample video I took and I had the phone right up to my mouth. I dont really record any video. Im happy with the saving to external sd and being able to click the thumbnail now! lol
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Brian Gove:
The volume is a bug in the CM10 code. All video recording is low like that.

Edit: Just tried a simple voice recorder, it also records at low volume.

For some reason CM10 its only using one of our mics.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] TheUnkn0wn:
Hummm... very strange I wonder if a CM10 update has broke the Audio?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jamfreak:
Does the flash work on it? Just downloaded cm10 (9-12) from IRC and a free of the functions are not available on that build
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Eddiemc:
OP, do you build from source/gerrit, or do you pull the apk from cm builds and modify..?

I'm asking because the latest commit seems to add a timer function to the camera, it would be a handy function to have included in your next version. :)

Have you looked into merging some of your code with cm?

I really enjoy your mods to the camera, and it would certainly improve cm if it got added in the builds.

Regards
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] pastert33:
OP, I really appreciate your time and effort you've put into this! One feature that has stuck out to me is the burst shot. To me, it is very slow. I may have to flash back to a TW rom but the burst shot that you've added, plus the one CM just added are both slow to me. Seems to me that it should shoot 5 shots after focusing one time, however it shoots a shot after it is focused everytime and that seems to be a waste to me because the shot you were trying to get is gone.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Eddiemc:
Mine works fine.. What buttons are u using? I press volume down to focus, then volume up to burst. Perhaps a bit slower than tw, but it doesn't do focus in between shots on mine..

Edit: my bad. I like hardware buttons..

The 5 shot burst in settings? Just tried on latest cm (haven't installed this one yet) and it used probably 1.5 seconds maybe 2 on 5 shots. No focus in between.. As fast as tw:)

Edit2:

I installed 1.62 on top of today's nightly cm and burst through settings didn't work properly. It only took 1 shot without focusing.

Reckon it is a matter of merging the latest commits from cm. Or me just having to reflash..

The cm camera is catching up now, but I really enjoy the volume buttons focus/shoot too much to stick with that. Although now I'm torn because latest cm is rather nice. Timer function...
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] pastert33:
I just flashed the latest jellybro Nightly(SGIII) which is CM based and the burst is great! Took 5 shots after focusing one time. Very snappy. Is this how 1.62 is suppose to be? If so, that's fantastic!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Eddiemc:
Yea, it's very nice..

I just wish they'd implement the volume focus/shoot from this one.

But I reckon the op is on top of this, and 1.63 will most likely have the smooth burst too.

As a request it would love to get custom shortcuts, so burst, timer etc can be easily accessible.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Upstreammiami:
So any fix for no video recording?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] pastert33:
You give absolutely nothing for someone to go on! I can't see how you want someone to help when all you've provided is that your running PA and you have no video recording...how can someone possibly help you with that?? What phone do you have? What kernel do you run? What are you shooting(720,1080)??

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] k3y.m8ney:
So I got the camera and gallery installed but still no sound on the camcorder? Is there a fix or do we just have to struggle? Dope additions regardless.

Edit: I see low volume is a CM10 bug but I'm running aokp on the tmobile s3 if that makes a difference. Its lower than low its not on if you ask me.

Edit #2: Just downloaded a voice recorder, it recorded my voice fine. Now I think its the app. Also when I search for camera under the app menu in the settings to delete the data its not there? A aokp thing? How else do u delete the camera data if its in the list of apps to choose from?

Edit #3: Couldnt figure it out. Went back to the stock camera app with Aokp. I need my sound. Hope a fix surfaces soon.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] nicogetz:
Don't install through cwm, just extract and install the apk to /system/etc and audio should be fine.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] fabzbear:
When you say apk you're referring to the modified one that's based in this thread or the original one that came with like a Rom?

Also only the apk we should extract and move? What about the metadata and etc.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Urinophoria:
Nice! Thanks man, worked perfect on att i747 with aokp ROM and kt747 kernel.

So stoked!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] cnstarz:
my videos are pretty blurry with this camera. when i touch to focus while it's recording, it'll act like it's focusing, but it wont actually focus. im on blackbean3 rom for sprint gs3. has anyone else come across anything like this?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] nicogetz:
Referring to the modified apk, leave etc alone as it contains the media_profiles.xml that breaks audio. I don't know what the metadata does to be honest, but I think it has something to do with flashing through cwm, which we are avoiding.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] scottspa74:
Correct. Meta data contains the updater script. Leave it alone if extracting and moving manually.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] vnguyen972:
I have the same issue, no audio in video recording.

So I should extract the apk to /system/etc instead of /system/app ?

What I did was ...extracting media_profiles.xml to /system/etc and the apk to /system/app, then reboot, then go into /system/app to install the gallery2.apk

I'm running ParaoidAndroid 2.12 Jellybean on a Tmobile GS3.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] nicogetz:
You want to avoid copying the modded media_profiles.xml as that's what breaks audio, to fix this simply extract media_profiles.xml from the the ParanoidAndroid zip to /system/etc and overwrite the phunked up one. Badabing, badaboom, eh?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] vnguyen972:
OMG... badabing, badaboom.. indeed... thanks so much!!! good thing that I backed up all the files before extracting.

EDIT: now that I have sound in video recording, the audio level is awfully low... oh well, better than nothing? lol
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] nicogetz:
Cool, thanks - I was pretty sure, but didn't want to start pulling stuff out of my a--err...zip file lol

and did you go back to system/app and navigate to the gallery2.apk that you pasted there and installed it from there?

you cannot just paste the gallery2.apk into any folder and install it from some weird folder location and think it's going to work. the camera is regarded as a system app and so it has to be in the system folder location. so please tell how you went about installing the camera so can see if we can help ur situation

AOSP camera is great, should be baked into CM10.

Work around for now in using PCFileSync to auto upload to network drive, then periodically get picasa to import from there.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] adyscorpius:
Hey, is it just me, or do people in general find that AOSP camera's pictures are not as clear as the stock camera?

And is it to be blamed on Samsung and its closed sources?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Eddiemc:
Naa, I reckon they are the same. Set your aosp cam to the best quality, and I really do not see any difference between stock and aosp.

The thing about aosp is that it's somewhat buggy, can crash, a few slowdowns sometimes opening or jumping to gallery, and front cam doesn't have a continuous live viewer after taking one shot. The last fix is already in gerrit, and the slight buggyness is worth it to me in order to get power shutter button.

This cam mod is lagging a bit behind now, a lot of fixes is already been included in latest cm. I hope the op updates this soon..

To sum up, I have not seen any shot to shot comparison that can support the notion that stock takes "better" pictures. Quality is the same.

On another note, this hasn't been updated for quite some time, and a lot of the latest fixes in cm has not been included yet.
