[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] KCRic:
So after a decompile I was sifting through the smali file and noticed something. First, some super odd 3K recording resolution - this is in the file dealing strictly with recording video so no, its not for still captures. Anyone have thoughts/input on this?

Also, we can record at 60 fps in 1080p. Albeit only at 14mbps (yeah, so I'm going to modify that :D) but how great is that?! Now people can stop asking for it. Before anyone asks - I have no idea if this carries to 4.4 but I'm sure it does.

If anyone wants proof and doesn't want to decompile the apk on their own - say so here and I'll post the smali.

UPDATE:

Well I did it. Haven't done any extensive testing but I managed to record two videos without any issues. There may be issues so as always - be careful. I tested this on Wicked v10, it should work on any 4.3 TW ROM but only time will tell. I need to add that so far its limited to about 10 seconds. Past that it drops to 30 again, not sure why yet.

This is my modified camera. What does that mean? Recording bit rates are higher (both audio and video, 1080 and 720). Video records at 60 fps (keep reading if you don't know why that matters).

Bit rates:

1080p: 20 mbps @ 60fps

720p: 17 mbps @ 60fps

Audio: 320 kbps @ 48 KHz

For those that don't understand why 60 frames per second matters it really comes down to quality. For analyzing videos, editing them, capturing frames for a still shot, even general viewing. It allows you to slow a video down (same concept as those super slow motion cameras on TV). Videos just seem more fluid overall also, when played at normal speed.

I'm sure someone can elaborate on the above better than myself.

This is just the apk. Not a CWM installer package. So you'll have to install it manually. One you replace the stock SamsungCamera2.apk you'll have to reboot. Please be mindful of how large these video files will get. Let me know if there are any bugs (I'm sure there will be a few).

Here's the link. It's on my Google Drive.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] KCRic:
So I modded the camera to record 1080p and 720p both at 60fps on the standard settings. Both with higher bit rates for audio and video. So far it installs and works flawless. Can't say much for recording since it's nighttime and I'm not about to disturb my pregnant wife :eek:

Will update tomorrow with results. If it all looks good I'll update with a test version in the themes and mods section.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Yepiz92:
How did the camera changes go I'm interested in testing it also!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] KCRic:
Good, but it didn't get over 31fps so I'm doing some more edits. Hopefully I'll have it pinned down soon and post it for testing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] DigitalHeretic:
When you get it working, can you build it into an .apk for those of us that don't use custom recovery? I'm stock 4.3 rooted, but don't want to trip KNOX flag just yet
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] KCRic:
I can try. I think all you have to do us drop it right into /system/app. Though I think with your type of install it installs that to a different partition and I don't know which one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] DigitalHeretic:
Well I'd be happy to test it out for you, either method
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Daved+:
I can test it for you on TW4.3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] KCRic:
Still doing some work, just so you know I haven't dropped this.

Also I've found a couple other interesting things while digging around. I don't want anyone to get their hopes up on these two but here they are.

1: In fast mode our rear camera has two options - 60fps and 120fps. The latter is limited to 720p from what I can tell and I'm not sure if anyone would want that. Though on a higher end display (TV or whatever) it might be handy. In the real world though, I have no idea if it would be ok for the camera module. Not to mention the file sizes would kill your memory and battery even if I dropped the bit rate. We'll see I guess - That's what owning Android is about ;)

2: UHD. 'nuff said. I'm having trouble finding the exact 4K resolution listed but UHD is listed in it as an option.

Like I said - don't get your hopes up on those two. They're a bit far fetched, though I know Sammy underused this phones camera. Battery life would be the reason for that.

If anyone with experience writing apps or any devs read this, I would appreciate the help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] RotaryXperiment7:
I'm subscribing to this thread. Have high hopes :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PotatoDrum:
Way cool. I'll be following this. Will this work on any ROM?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] itzik_man:
Excuse me if I am not overly optimistic...

Usually the development model is working in a logical and chronically method & not backwards.

First you publish out the solution (Application) even if it's not completed & then your advertise it or asking for testing volunteers.

Its not about bring out an idea, it's about making some user excited about it & then tell everyone there are issues, delays...etc.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Solace50:
quite curious as to if the phone can even handle 120fps at 1080p. others have said UHD was not supported due to chipset limitations within the 320 vs the 330 found in int/note 3 which i call bs on. i highly doubt the chips are limited in that way, if anything maybe the native api was removed for the 320 firmwares. as you say UHD is listed... when your done tinkering perhaps you could see if you can force all recording to the external SD as the current setup utilizes the internal sd card for video feeds/burst shots due to the higher bus interface. class 6/extreme sd chips i think can handle 1080 properly at 30fps according to some sites.

nvm my mistake just burst shots are saved to the internal regardless video feed obeys the camera setting.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] RotaryXperiment7:
Any update?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] KCRic:
Not yet. I can't get it to work at 60 fps only editing the apk. Not giving up though, I just had to take a break because of no sleep. My pregnant wife keeps me up tossing and turning.

I doubt the kernel is limiting the frame rate, or if that's even something that would be in a kernel. I don't touch those - I think I'm far too green for that and have no idea where I would start.

I'm off today so I'll have a chance to mess around with it some more and hopefully have something for you to test that does more than say "recording failed".
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HTCMDA:
It must be kernel related, I say this because some custom kernels on this very forum can't even handle the slow motion option in the camera. They crash your phone and make it reboot. BUT the stock kernel can do it? So maybe some kernel tweaking will get the fps to 60:confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] KCRic:
DONE! :fingers-crossed: Let's just hope it works for the rest of you :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
Hey, what exactly did you do? I am using the Note3 camera so I don't wanna install the attached apk in the OP. Plus, I could probably turn this into an xposed module for you. :) Making future mods easier.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] RotaryXperiment7:
Sweet Thank u! How do I exactly install this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] KCRic:
I would still stick with the Note 3 camera for now. It's still being very buggy. It looks like there are definitely some other mods that need to be done other than just the apk. I get frame drops in the logs and every now and then it throws and error that "the device might be doing too much" and drops 40+ frames.

Currently all I did to the apk was editing a smali file. Then a couple reboots and let it settle for a few minutes. I just need to figure out the frame drops.

Depends on what method you like. The easiest it to use a file explorer (root explorer or another one). Mount the /system as rw and replace your current samsungcamera2.apk, then change the permissions to rw-r-r. Make sure to backup your current one of course. Also remember, this is for testing so there will be issues. Logs and feedback would be great too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] RotaryXperiment7:
I will test it. Lemme try and install

---------- Post added at 04:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:37 PM ----------

just did a small clip. less then 5 seconds,. bitrate is 20 mbs but still 30 fps. 1080p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
Obviously they were smali edits :P

And about the dropped frames, i get those in the log with regular apps. its something to do with frames drawing in the UI of the app nothing with the actual recording. As you can see, the tag is "Choreographer" and it comes up quite a bit and on my TF300T. This may help
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] KCRic:
Thank! That is exactly what the logs were showing. Not sure if that made things easier or more difficult. Now I have to track down another culprit for the drop in frames. You think maybe some sort of buffer? Since the camera doesn't write video directly to memory.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] KCRic:
You might have to try it a few times after you let it sit for a while. I have the same issue, mostly with 720p.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] RotaryXperiment7:
meaning leaving the phone just sit there on before i open camera?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] KCRic:
Well just don't use the camera for a while. Not sure if it really helps but letting things "settle" does seem to help. You know us tech people and our crazy superstitions.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] RotaryXperiment7:
What android app are you using to see video details?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] KCRic:
I've just been using MX Player. Best thing I've found so far to view those details on the phone.

Now if only I could run the Kitchen on the phone, I'd be set :rolleyes: I should try that.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] RotaryXperiment7:
I'm getting 60 frames on 720p videos. Not 1080
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] KCRic:
Would you mind recording on both 720 and 1080, then send me a log for each session? I need to spend some time sorting out the errors.

Sent from inside the matrix
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] RotaryXperiment7:
I can do that. How do I log and send to you?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] KCRic:
You can use adb to do it, I think you use monitor.bat - adb logcat still works though.

The super easy method is to just use aLogcat or another similar app. Open the camera and use it then save the log. Sending it to me you can do in a PM. You can just post it in the thread also but I know some people get concerned about privacy (a logcat shouldn't have any super private info in it).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] KCRic:
Just remembered, monitor.bat is for debugging.

I think the correct way to get it with adb is:

cd c:/path/to/platform-tools

adb logcat -f

That will save the log to whatever filename you choose. Don't include the

Been a while since I've used that method. If you're using Linux, it should be the same though your path will be different.

Edit: I wanted to make sure I tell everyone that tests this and sends logs; Thank you. I know its a waiting game and I appreciate your patience and help with this. I'm still new to this and its a learning process to get this kind of a mod working - the bit rates were easy. It would be great to live chat with someone that can trade ideas/solutions with me if anyone is up for that.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] milo0125:
I've noticed that if you lower the cpu clock speed to 1350, the fps drops to 29.93, but if you record at clock speed 1566, the camera records @60fps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] KCRic:
That's interesting. What clock speed do you normally use?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] milo0125:
I'm using the ktoonsez 4.3TW kernel

Hyperdrive rom clocked at 1566. I clocked it to 1350 and tested the camera mod , but i couldn't record it @ 60fps. So I switched back to 1566 and it worked fine. Maybe speed can be an issue too?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] KCRic:
Its possible but I it really depends on what most people are setting their clock speed to. A lot of people do what you do and underclock for longer battery life (though that's still up for debate in a few threads). I set mine to 2.16 with Chronic and it'll record for about 10 seconds.

I'll flash ktoonsez and see how it plays with the mod.

My T-mobile Lg G2 won't power on and I can't tell if it is charging. I also can't enter download or any recovery. The phone was not rooted. Is there any way I can unbrick it?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RubbleTea:
First thing you should probably do is let charge up then see what works and what doesn't......then the help can come
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j3ssejamez:
Its been plugged in for about 8 hours. The phone gets a little warm so I thinks its charging but I can't tell. The screen was working yesterday so I don't think the LCD is broken. Plugging it into the computer gets no reaction.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pagapervedere:
Do you already try to push power button for atleast 10 second?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j3ssejamez:
Yeah, ive tried holding down the power button. And I also tried entering download mode by holding volume up.

[HTC EVO 3D] Happy1337:
Hey, I need some held with my phone.

My Evo 3D fell like one time too often to the ground :\

Now it's sometimes touching itself.

There are a lot of guides/tutorials for replacing the touchscreen/lcd , but I'm not sure what exactly may be the problem ?

The touchscreen or the lcd ? Or is it broken anyway ? :confused:

best regards :fingers-crossed:
[HTC EVO 3D] somekid15:
The thread name is a little off putting..as for your question your digitizer is probably going out. It's a very common issue with the 3vo
[HTC EVO 3D] catalinraven:
try a touch test app and see where the issue is on the screen.

100% is the touch screen and unfortunately needs to be replaced.

Ceers
[HTC EVO 3D] jag9:
Is it occurring all the times or only when you keep the phone on charge with a wall mount charger. I am having same kind of issue, which happens with wall charger attached and only with a specific charger:confused: . when i tried with a different charger issue is not there.

Regards,

Jag
[HTC EVO 3D] jlmancuso:
The evo 3d has a poor digitizer. At first I only had issues with sense based roms (random touches) later it was acting up on aosp, then it even started hapoening in the recovery. I could usually turn screen off and back on then be ok for a short period. To fix the issue you need to replace the digitizer (since prices are cheap I would order the whole front assembly).
[HTC EVO 3D] Happy1337:
That's exactly what I do right now - turn screen on/off an it works for a little while

Thanks guys, I'm ordering a new one right now :good::highfive:
[HTC EVO 3D] shadowgrower420:
could always try cleaning the screen, i know after a days work my will act up if i don't clean the screen, just from the oil and dirt that will get on it .

As the title asks, have any of you noticed battery/performance increases in custom ROMs, and if so, which?

I'm mainly looking at Gummy because I'm using that on my AHD so it will (hopefully) be easier to help him.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Super_Commando:
If u don't want to flash roms every now and then, u should try Numa. Its ics based, highly stable and fully functional. And the battery life is best in this rom, i think
[Motorola Atrix 2] kab73:
speedup

You hv 2 choices - a kexec rom or non kexec one

See list of custom roms in the Q&A section.

Fyi tho:

1. Kexec roms are faster, mainly bcoz of dtrails hybrid kernel - 1.4ghz stable [MENTION=2697286]1330[/MENTION]mV (cn u believe that!) They also do not hv visual/ display tearing ( the kind u get when ur phone disp is fps-uncapped) BUT their batt life is very poor as in really really bad, ur gonna hv 2 charge twice to get thru the whole day, at least.

2. Non kexec roms stick to std clockspeeda, hv visual tearing(although very minimal) and ia bit behind (latest is 4.2.2 kexec roms are 4.4.2 already) HOWEVER battery lige is very close to stock ics which is fantastic

Its a tradeoff basically performance at latest version vis a vis great batt life on a slightly older version. Do note that for nonkexec roms 4.2.2 u cn always dload motomizer from pstore and get it up to 1.3 ghz - thats not too shabby, is it?

hi.

I have root note 3 and flag knox varanty 0x1 now I have problem becous I found in my device some factory errors like crash nfc is not work for me. If I tray send in such a state of the phone warranty I lose it (service not respect devices who have knox 0x1).

And now my question is how to brick this device?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] radicalisto:
Doing this is obviously highly illegal as you are purposely destroying your product to fraudulently claim on your warranty. If you read around enough you will find out how to do it. I'm afraid I won't tell you how to do so.

[About XDA developers] inetquestion:
The forum sites appear plagued by at least one of the following problems:

A. Threads gets cluttered with nonsense posts, and irate responses.

B. Clutter from valid posts (near their origin), which become less relevant over time.

To solve these issues, would it be helpful to employ a default time expiration AND rating system on all posts? Perhaps a like/dislike button on each comment. This could enable high rated threads to have a longer TTL, and shorter for those with negative feedback. Over time, each thread would prune itself of unwanted comments or those which are no longer receiving attention due to becoming outdated.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Dream Reality Syndrome:
Flashed my first ROM in over a year, and on my Note 3 no less. Any who I took the plunge into the Temasek custom build (for T-Mobile) and I am not into the new style of Android. So I wanted to ask, is this the direction Kit Kat is going? Or is it CM 11? Or is it just specific to the custom Temasek build?

I ran CM 7 long ago on my HTC G2 and that's more along the lines of what I'm looking for. I love features, functionality and most of all, practicality. I'm less into that flashy stuff. Anyone got any recommended ROMs I should try next?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nijel8:
Same with me... I used to love AOKP on my Nexus 4, I tried it on note 3, tried CM11 and I wasn't impressed at all. Lot of options missing. Looks like you need TweakedN3.:) I love it and developer is a great guy always here to help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jcannon318:
I went with JEDI. Amazing. Amazing features. So smooth. Battery life. Daily driver for about 2 weeks now and don't see that changing anytime soon
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] paul89:
With the note, it really makes sense to stock with a stick based ROM so that you will have all the good features Samsung has made.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mdotcho:
I agree--I can't quite put my finger on what's different/missing from CM11, but so far, I am a little bored of it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Eric214:
Yeah I used CM 10.1 on my old Bionic and it was great over the Moto Blur skin and such but now that I have had the S4 and now the Note 3. I have become a fan of TW features, though not all of them. As for the Note 3, personally I don't see why one would get a Note 3 and then go AOSP and lose the SPen and MultiWindow features. I mean it's faster with more ram but i think it's a waste to buy a phone that's made for the features and then take away 80-90% of the features and kinda neuter the phone. I didn't like AOSP on my S4 either but i can see people going ASOP on the S4 more so then the Note 3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ktetreault14:
" to stock with a stick based ROM" lmao jk. I'm using tweaked v2 and love it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] paul89:
Lol, wow I went back to edit it because they both said stick lol. I must have edited the wrong "stick"!!! Too funny...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nighthawk626:
The biggest bonus in aosp history for most people I would say is the ability of theme engine, surprising for me, this is also the first time I've ever had a phone aosp capable and switch back to tw ROM every other weekend or so. Maybe it is googles doing but it does seem something is missing from newer aosp Roms. I'd say gingerbread was my favorite android os update ever. I'm currently running aosp right now but still restless as if something's missing. Then when I switch back to touchwiz, it feels awesome but the lack of easily theming it makes me go back to aosp. FML lol I feel like a woman right now
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ggabriele3:
Actually, I think I would be okay giving up most of TouchWiz and Pen features.

I have only been using the phone for about 2 days, but I am not in love with S-Finder, S-Voice, etc.

Mutli-window is great, but it's limited to a small selection of apps.

Pen input is great, but I can apparently do that with Papyrus.

For me, I think i'd be happy with a "Stock + some Pen" experience as opposed to the full Samsung thing.

But like I said, i've only just started with the phone, and I havent even begun looking at alternate ROMs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] altimax98:
I felt the same way about stock. If your going to CM and are going to trip KNOX anyways go and flash TWEAKED. It is solid and allows all applications for multi and pen Window modes. Easily a fantastic feature
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Eric214:
Yeah, that was my point i guess. Why buy the Note 3 only to lose all the pen functions? Any ROM that would allow me to keep the pen functions I'm good to try out, but I just wouldn't do AOSP anymore with this type of phone. Plus I agree with the OP, AOSP seems boring anymore.
