Me too, i would like to give Wolfbreak a pat on the back, or a donation if my temp agency finally gave me the €€€ they owe me... lool

It's by little steps like these that one day (i hope), we'll be able to use 2.2/2.3 ROMs for every day use.

BUT the title of this thread is innacurrate... When i see 'camcorder fix' i expect a fully-fonctionnal camcorder (=100% fixed). Here it's "only" 90%, and some of us, for one reason or another, need a fully-fonctionnal camcorder. I.E. scanlife doesn't work as well as prixing here in france... and prixing needs 100% functionnal... see what i mean?

Nevertheless, as i said, bravo to Wolfbreak and all devs at XDA. If it wasn't for u guys, i would seriously regret having bought this X10. Sorry for being such a b**ch, but you could say somewhere that this fix doesn't solve "ALL" problems ("only" 90% of them lol). To put it short, we're (you're) almost there, but not yet...

Again, bravo. I don't want to sound like i'm complaining or anything, I'm just saying that "camcorder fix (execpt HD/Barcode scanner)" would have been a more appropriate title...

I've tested this video recording out....quality seems low although I'm getting 28fps. The bigger problem I'm having is the volume on playback is incredibly low. Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks for the video recording, way better than video illusion. Were so close now :)

I tried Vignette and works well on res. - high but found if you go to res. - custom then I get green screen.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] agentJBM:
I am not a developer, but I found something interesting on SE developers website that seems like could be of use for implementing HD recording. It's called "How to implement HD recording for the X10 with Android Update 2.0x". I don't know if it's of any use without the bootloader cracked, but I thought I'd put it out there on the off chance some of you devs haven't seen it.

Can confirm it works with free x10 beta4... got to camcorder settings.. chose video quality as custom... then you can edit all the settings as you will... but i would suggest you to keep the focus continues.. video encoder h264 and then select video quality as wvga and choose the recording time as you wish.. you are done..!

hey guys, excuse my n00biness... but how do you install this thing? i put it on my sd card and then went into xrecovery but cant install it as a custom zip. so I assume I'm supposed to use flashtool to do it?

can someone let me know? i've been waiting FOREVER for the vid cam to work and I hated the poor quality of videocam illusion

running: z's beta 4 2.2
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] crownsolution:
i feel ya i'm with you on the sound volume being super low.. also the lighting is darker then the screen displays on playback is there a reason it tints.. Though man having a camcorder damn never thought i would see the ligth but These folks brought it to us

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] agentJBM:
You use xRecovery to install this. Maybe the file is damaged or you unpacked it. You can just download it directly to your phone.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] almosterick:
Thanks!!!! I just installed on froyo x10 beta 4 and it's working!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] abo999:
Whatever, Heathenlife. I'm glad the rom does everything you want it to.

One of the purposes of this board is to report bugs. The barcode scanner is a bug and people have reported it. I think it is pretty arrogant of you to come on here and moan about people 'spamming' the fact.

Like I said elsewhere, props to Wolfbreak and others for getting it this far. But to say it is 'fixed' is nearly as misleading as saying 'works with 3rd party apps' when there are still issues as people are reporting.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Eugene1991:
Wolf maybe you can do something about zooming?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Guys most phone cameras like x10 do not have optical zoom. The "zoom" u see is actually digital i.e. it just blows up the image without actually changing resolution/quality...

I know, but digital might be useful sometimes :p
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] xtrmshadow:
Oki guys,as far as i checked the ROM, the current camcorder function is NOT hardware decoded,its software decoded and thats why barcode scanner, google goggles and more arent working,cause those ARE using hardware decoding. So yes we got a Camcorder but its not 100% legit for android ,so dont complain that those apps dont work,its normal.

Also i noticed that the sound quality is quite poor(Already mentioned) ,so my guess is that software rendering wont give more from itself would it?

But in anyway,thanks mate ! Still better than nothing =D

EDIT : I also noticed that when you go into gallery,you can see the small thumbnail preview right? Well...no matter what ur video contains,the preview is at a farmcountry with some flowers and stuff lol...what king of hack have they used ? XD

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] hammer2k2:
Nice, did a bit of research and found out that there's a file called media_profiles.xml that controls the camcorder stuff. Its located under /system/etc/ together with hw_config.sh in the CamcorderFixo.zip.

I found this link which has some settings on it. I don't know how to make an xrecovery file so if anyone can try this....

http://www.howtouseandroid.com/droid-x-aosp-camcorder-tweaks-higher-quality-and-fps-recording/

there is a media_profiles.txt file in the site. don't know if it would be of much use to us though. Maybe it can fix the sound issue
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Darth Glacious:
Here-s a clip recorded by me, sometime today around 5am, image quality is more than acceptable. Not sure what the clicking sound is, seems to be related to the continuous autofocus.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] realunited123:
720p is working. Well kind of. Select custom instead of high or low and then select 720p from the option. You can't see what you are recording but it will record the video. I hope it won't take too much time to fix it completely.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Androxyde:
Hi,

lgCamera app (free from market) seems to work too for video recording. Didn't test about sound issues but maybe it is better than the stock camera app ?

Any mirrors?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] superleeds27:
See what you mean.

It does record in HD. Even though the viewfinder shows fuzzy green marks!

It also saves in 3gp though!

So... what does it fix? :confused:

And since when has the camera ever been an issue?

Is there a way to port this to MIUI rom? It's not working here. Well, actually it has no camera at all, maybe that's the problem for this fix not working on MIUI.

Yeah if no Camera works at all its sure that it doesnt work. This Fixs works only on 2.2 and only for ROMs that have working Camera.

Read the title of the post. It says CAMCORDER fix. It says nothing about the barcode scanner, google goggles, my great grandmothers gimpy leg or world hunger. Someone may fix those at a later time, I don't know. It would be much better to make a new post saying that these don't work and a click on the thank you button on this thread for getting at least SOMETHING fixed.

At least report something about camcorder not about camera...there's a difference between them.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] compumasta:
I think you misunderstand why they were posting about barcode scanners. Because the camera was working and the camcorder wasn't yet, people believed that the scanners must use something with the camcorder in order to function properly. When a fix was posted, it was expected that the scanners would then work. Obviously they are not. No need for a flaming war.

Thanks for the camcorder fix wolf!

What has changed? 720p recording still has green lines. Confused? I deleted original file and downloaded new file to sdcard. Then installed custom zip with xRecovery.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] GoPDemon:
You can record in 1280×720, but it will be green on the phone screen, but the recorded video will be fine. Just choose Custom as video quality. You can’t c what you are recording… but it is recording in HD.

Also the video files save, and I can see them on astro. But when I connect to the pc I can’t see them unless I reboot my phone. I believe this is related to Data2Sd

had to rush 10 posts just to post this -.-!

editted for clarity.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] javagreen:
I'm not sure what to make of this.

Are you saying that I can select the 720p option on the camera app and even though the screen'll go black, it'll still record in 720p?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Bwyan Benton:
Yes. You can record in 720p. You will see green lines when recording but its normal when you play it back.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kokbiel:
After weeks on FreeX10 beta 3 (found no reason to switch to 4, nor switch bb) without any problems that other reported i decided to give this fix a go.

I can confirm that it does work on beta 3.

However, this is the only change I've made to the phone for the last few weeks, and 1 hour after flashing it I got my first loss of datatraffic and had to go to airplane-mode to get it back. Since then, I've had two more drops of datatraffic.

They are no related to when I use the camera but I find it very hard to believe this is just random, after well over a month with no problems at all.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] agentJBM:
Not saying it is related, but maybe it's time to update. He made beta 4 for a reason, likewise with the BB. Flashing new BB doesn't wipe data if you don't want it to. Just don't flash the userdata.sin. xRecovery backup makes updating to beta 4 painless.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kokbiel:
Won't update to 4, nor to latest bb. My sis has latest bb and her reception, with the same carrier, is far worse than mine. But i posted here, not to start an argument about bb, but to see if there could be a relation between this camcorder fix and the loss of datatraffic.

Besides, will flash a new fw soon to betatest, so mostly reporting to make sure devs are not missing anything.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 28spawn:
Hello,

I manager the cam software to keep the same aspect ratio and resoltion with wvga and the recording dont start because the vid encoder dont let the preview size be different to the capturing size....

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] tremeree:
If I have something to point about this fix is that solved the most annoying issue I had with the camera. The shutter speed. Before there was a lag between pressing the button and the actual shoot. That means you lose a lot of good pictures! After this fix I noticed that the lag is gone!!!! Now the camera responds almost instantly, for me that is more than enough.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] baba_baba:
Camera uninstalled by mistake....

I uninstalled the camera app instead of just replacing it or uploading the custom zip. Any ideas on how to get it back or install the new one as nothing allows me to install the app anymore. Tried with Root Explorer, Astro and Flashtool.

Yes you can scan barcodes, but you get the green interference pattern rather than seeing the barcode. It does scan the code and recognise it fine, but you gotta line it up by eye.

I am using CM 6.3 mod android 2.2
[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
I did my homework, and have come up mostly empty. Read what I could find on the CM site; wikipedia; blogs; newsgroups; and a lot more. Probably at least 2 hours trying to get a comparative handle on CM vs. stock release derived ROMs.

After all that, I'm only a tiny bit closer to understanding what I gain, and what I give up, going to CM.

If there if a good, detailed articulation of this somewhere, please help us CM noobs with a pointer; Otherwise, I'd like to start a thread to capture as much detailed information about comparing CM to stock-based ROMs so people can make informed choices.

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=What_is_CyanogenMod
[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
Thanks, that's a start, but in truth it's information like that that prompted my starting this thread.

That's generic information. Only moderately helpful in judging specifically for the Epic whether I should go CM, or with another custom ROM.

For example, info like this: CM does not include the accelerated Samsung video player, and doesn't handle many video formats and codings well in comparison. So, if playing h264 coded video in mkv containers is important to you, CM will be a challenge, where Bonsai, ACS, Midnight, etc. will be a much simpler choice to meet your needs.

Sent from my mind using telepathitalk
[Epic 4G General] rocket321:
Think about it like this. If you buy a PC from a big company (HP, Dell, etc) it comes with a fully functional install of software. Windows + drivers + all other crap they decide you should have. That is equivalent to the Samsung ROM that comes stock on Epic.

What if you build your own PC from components? You will install Windows, then you will dig up the drivers you need separately, and then load your own applications.

Android AOSP in this comparison is the "base" install of Windows. Nothing else added in.

The drivers and other changes required to make the base Android work with your hardware is CyanogenMod.

So basically, Samsung based roms will have all the functioning drivers and everything else in them. Dev's tear them apart and remove/change what they don't want, but don't have to worry much about hardware cause the drivers are straight from Samsung.

AOSP based roms (CyanogenMod) will be utterly broken and have no hardware support at first. Developers have to write real lines of code into the software to make it support the Epic or any other phone. The are built from the ground up. That is why it is so amazing what Team CM7 has already got working in so little time!
[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
Again, thanks for the sincere attempts to answer this qualitatively. However, that's not the issue. See my example above.

What you describe above with the custom PC example, while true, isn't informative enough for most people to make an informed decision.

Knowing that CM is free of carrier bloatware doesn't help me understand in any way that the video player with CM had some important limitations when compared to the optimized video player Samsung includes. For some people, this may be a critical issue in making a decision.

It is those sort of specific differences that I thought would be helpful to enumerate and capture. Of course anyone can simply install the ROM and discover for themselves... Judging by my own struggle to find enough information to make an informed choice myself, I thought others might benefit from nailing this stuff down.

So far, it looks like I may have been mistaken?

So, you're looking for a more hand held description of what CM7 doesn't have?

....:confused:
[Epic 4G General] azyouthinkeyeiz:
I can give you the best piece of advice....

This is a development site, not a front end rom publishing site..

If there's not already documentation, test the differences yourself, and report the findings for the next gentleman who comes along with your same questions...

Then before too long you're not a "noob" anymore..

But to answer your question, cyanogen is a more bare bones android experience.. it is built off of the AOSP (ANDROID OPEN SOURCE PROJECT).. It is stripped of any carrier or manufacturer additions (like HTC Sense or Touchwiz).. and is usually a cleaner and less buggy experience... Then the cyanogen team customizes and polishes features... (like menu infused theming instead of flashable zips..)

If you're too scared of bricking during experimental build testing, etc, this isn't the place for you...
