About the slow down in last 2 versions, they are built over original 435 file, I will try to mod over .24 version (there is no change at all on versions but seems that .435 its slower) and see if is faster with the same modding.

I´m glad that you are using my mod on KX10, I recomend that you upgrade the version to use v8 or v9(comming soon if the .24 test results in a faster software loading) to improve the famous UXP kkkkkkkk (what se claims but don´t do!)

Soo Tks for testing my mod!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troyjamz:
Im testing v.8 and find that it works alot better than the stock version(obviously)

but there are two issues that I noticed.

1: Slower start(does not bother me atleast)

2: Strange pixel deformation while recording certain conditions. Mainly while the camera is pointed directly towards the sun.

other than that I see only improvements!

Camera is awsome, nothin to complain about really.

I would definately like to try the 15m version once it comes out. cant wait!

Damn good job!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
What class has your sd card to get that high bitrate?

You said one minute with 15mbps has 100MB. A class 4 card writes 4-5mbps and 100mb:60s are 1.6666mb, so even a class 2 card should be able to get such a high video bitrate.

So my question is, why can't I get more than 6.14mbps?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kultus:
I will upgrade ;) if there wont be any bug :)

But last versions bring me new question, if is it something else that you could improve on still photos??? :) Arent we in the end of SE X10 cameras possibilities??? Just a question because I make 98% photos and 2% videos :)

I made a 10 sec vid with 6.88mbps and 26.3fps.

For now I'm back to the values from page 1, because I can test the new code much, I have to study now and I don't want to have an unstested (maybe unstable) mod.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordKitsuna:
Hmm spawn 28, maybe you should make 2 releases of v8 one with 8mb/s and one with 15 or higher. I have 16GB class 10 card so i dont care about space but for people with smaller cards 15mb/s would suck their phone dry

Edit:also what all can be messed with on the camera side of things? Is it possible to make it output .png? This would be amazing since png is much better then jpg. Also im assuming you lowered the amount of compression it does on pics?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jon08:
I just test these two parameters and I see no improvement over bluid.prop without modification. The only differences are the size of the file that is bigger and the FPS are lower with the second parameters. With the first parameters, the FPS are the same.

First parameters:

ro.media.enc.vid.m4v.bps=6000000,16000000

ro.media.enc.vid.m4v.fps=21,24

ro.media.enc.vid.h263.bps=6000000,16000000

ro.media.enc.vid.mp4.bps=6000000,16000000

ro.media.enc.vid.mp4.fps=21,24

Seconde parameters:

ro.media.enc.vid.m4v.bps = 800000000,800000000

ro.media.enc.vid.m4v.fps = 18,30

ro.media.enc.vid.h263.bps = 800000000,800000000

ro.media.enc.vid.h263.fps = 18,30

ro.media.enc.vid.mp4.bps = 800000000,800000000

ro.media.enc.vid.mp4.fps = 18,30

So, where is the interest in modifying this file??
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordKitsuna:
you will not notice a difference in quality on the phone itself since the screen is at such a low resolution compared to the video. those files get bigger because the bps are higher this helps to put more information per frame reducing pixelation when the video is viewed at its native resolution. if you have a computer screen that can view HD (720P or higher) then take a video without the mod then one with it and watch them both on your computer in full screen. you will notice the modded one looks smoother and cleaner where as the stock will be a little pixely

I use Version 7 with config 6000000,10000000. I noticed that in sunny days i can take video

VGA@28 fps and 6Mbps http://www.4shared.com/video/if-m8HGx/V7_VGA.html

HD@21 fps and 8Mbps http://www.4shared.com/video/Hri6G0Ra/V7_HD.html

Now my question is: have you tryed to mod also these two resolutions (VGA and FWVGA)?

The fps will decrease adding more Mbps?

I think to use also these resolutions when i need more fps than HD and would be nice to have more quality without losing fps.

What are the differences between you suggested values and Lord Kitsuna's values at the |OP| while modifying the build.prop?

Do typing spaces make any difference for those values? :confused:

About 2.2camera zdzihu made a hole new camera driver that dont have nothing that looks like original driver and the software its different too.

Maybe zdzihu can use x10 mini as source to adapt to new camdriver, they are similar but the x10 its diferrent .

No worries as i am aware u r busy mate,i am asking about what should i do in 2.1 ROM to achieve the best results,i am not asking about 2.2 as i know that for the time being this MOD is only for 2.1,any help would be appreciated.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jon08:
I think it's because the lens works at it maximum, so increase the bps is useless.

It's like a photo: if the lens is poor, even if you adjust it to 8 megapixels, the result will be ugly. And if the lens is pretty good, a 3 megapixels adjustement will give a better result than your 8Mp ;)

Stock Camera VS v8 MOD

Here are my test results.

The first picture was taken with the stock .435 camera and the modded build.prop values (but anyway those are for video only). It was set to focus and capture by touch.

The second was taken with the v8 modded apk and the same build.prop as the above. Set to focus and capture by touch.

The difference is obvious. The stock camera app just couldn't focus properly, even though the indicator turned green and everything looked ok in the preview, once captured, the photo was totally out of focus. The colors are warmer in the modded version, but I do not think that this is a disadvantage -being totally subjective here of course.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
The pic with the modded apk looks better
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kultus:
OH common!!! I dont believe that the blurry picture is so bad due to bad focus, its unsteady hands problem, so please when you want to show some comparison: 1. dont use touch capture 2. take photos in good light conditions 3. make at least 3 photos and choose the best for comparison :) otherwise its not objective and there is so much variables how to make the best photos!!!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jon08:
In order to go in the way of kultus:

Without mod:

With mod:

Look in full resolution: the little speakers are more clean with mod (grill and text). Moreover, the photo is noiseless.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iridaki:
Oh, so did my hand get steady suddenly when I installed the modded apk? :p

1. I used touch capture because this is the mode that fits my needs and I wanted to compare which apk (stock or modded) would give me better results.

2. The light conditions were good and -most importantly in terms of comparison-

exactly the same for both pictures

.

3. If you see the names of the files, it indicates that I shot more than 2 photos and chose the best for this comparison (DSC_0464.jpg and DSC_0467.jpg)

It is a fact for me: every single shot I took with the stock camera was out of focus, blurry, with washed-out colors.

I totally understand your point and I agree that due to the variables, comparison is not always easy,

but

please

don't underestimate my attempts to test a camera application. ;)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_Element:
Oh man! :eek:

You shouldn't drive and take pics at the same time , seriously! :p :p :p

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jon08:
I can, but I don't do it :P

The difference between V7 and V8 is the sound modification. V8 hasn't modification.

About the bps, i didn't see any improvement, even with differents values.

So, test V7 and see if you have lag soung in your videos. If yes, use V8. If not, you can keep V7 because the image quality is the same ;)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bwyan Benton:
Ok I can't say awful...that's going to far....but the colors are beyond "warm" I just don't understand why the colors come out so differently? The stock cam produced much better natural results...i don't think its washed out at all.

Yep done that and also tested different values (bps,fps) on both versions.

Something I should report here. All the tests I have recently done are not acceptable. Something weird is happening in my wifes phone....it doesn't give proper results. I tried the mod v8 on my phone and the pics come out much different than hers with v8 as well....when I say different I mean much better. If I use vignette, se stock on her phone the camera is fine....when I put this mod on her phone it gets ugly. Now I gotta figure out why? Anyways, I have done a couple quick tests with v8 vs stock all with my own phone...patience required lol....v8 IS superior. Ill be doing more tests later but for now my faith is restored in this app.

That being said, 28spawn when should we see v8 actual release?

EDIT: nevermind, I just noticed you released it! Downloading in a couple mins :)

you should change it from saying pre v8 to v8 :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kultus:
LOL Patchy it was suspicious already from the begining to me that the stock cam is better than the modded one because in my X10i is very very good, only far object detail failed smost of the time and doesnt matter which mode I used (single focus, multifocus infinity)...but I think its objective problem. I made some photos in comparison with my 8Mpx samsung i8510 and the difference is obvious. i8510 has slightly more details than X10...

Compression is the big issue...i agree even if it takes a little longer to save id be cool with that.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordKitsuna:
because .png is superior in quality while still vastly compatible. so i could still send it in emails and mms and people would actually be able to open it where as if it was .raw i most likely wouldnt even be able to open it on my phone
