HTC One X - Camera + video -> performance, enhancements, tools

Hi all,
This thread is for improving the Camera built in into HTC one x system software and mods for it. I have issues with primarily the video usage:
- video is non standard : 1088 instead of 1080 etc
- video stuttering : is there really such thing as HTC one x video stabilization??
E.g. with lgcamera (paid) I can choose higher bitrates but on my htc one x [latest rom as of writing Leedroid and original rom!] shows normal screen but when pressed recording bot in stock and other videotools the height is abnormal and i'm not talking about 1080 <> 1088 but a higher height.... really annoying stretch effect....
Post here tips, mods links, hacks app links etc.

What 'tools' or mods are you bringing?
Just curious.

I think this belongs in General, as there seems to be no intention to develop by the OP.

The forum name was just changed this morning.
Moved to the International One X w/ Tegra3.

Thanks so much OP! Have just tried LGCamera and very impressed with it.
My main (only!) problem with the One X is the awful framerate of the recorded video.
If you play back the videos in VLC and set the aspect ratio to 2.21:1 it seems about right.
Mind boggles why HTC can't make the One X produce video that smooth.. especially as they did with the One V.

Im still wordless of the BAD video recording feature of this phone...
Im using as well lg camera pro is there no way to set the correct aspect while recording?!

Hi,
the quality of my video's and pictures are good. But when I'm recording something in stock camera-mode, and I'm in a stadium or somewhere where there's a lot of noice, the sound drops like crazy and I have to delete the video, because it's unwatchable. The sound keeps going up and down all the time when a few people in the stadium are singing...
I'm recording with stereo audio setting enabled. I have the 1.29 europian radio and i use ARHD 5.0.0 no sense custom ROM.
Is it that i have to turn off the stereo audio recording to prevent this? Or is it a malfunction of my device?
I hope somebody can help me. Thanks in advance.

Nobody has the same problem? So it's probably a malfunction? Not a setting?

[Q][DISCUSSION] Best Video-Recording App?

Hey HOX users!
Which App do you think is the for recording video on the HOX?
The Sense-Camera makes videos which are quite OK, however the compression is way to strong and the framerate isn't good - as many discussions show.
Additionally, I've switched to CM9 (because of design, speed, battery, settings...), so I don't have the Sense-Camera anymore.
CM9's stock camera-app records bad video and crashes very often - I use Camera FV-5 for taking photos, and the quality is awesome
So there has to be a equal alternative for recording video!
Do you know good video-recorders, which do you use?

Unfortunately, there a next to no video recording apps for android because it has to be specifically designed for the camera.

Yeah, I noticed that too, very sad though :/
I think the HOX is capable of shooting really great Videos with 60fps @ 720p, if there was an app capable of using monster

Yes.. that app is the Camera.apk that comes with the Sense ROMs. The drivers and the app are very tightly intergrated. I doubt CM9 developers will ever develop something as good as HTC when it comes to that

you should use lgCamera, you got a free version "Lite" and a paid, "Pro"
you'll get 2 apps.. one camera and one video recording
with the camera, you'll get uncompressed pictures, they'll be ~4,5mb instead of ~1,5mb
with the video recorder, you can change:
Bitrate: HTC uses 11mbps and Galaxy S3 uses 17mbps for 1080p... with this app, you can set it up to 100mbps, but that's overkill, just put it at 20mbps (with this, you get smooth recording)
Sound quality: you can record stereo sound and max 320kbps with 48hz
record in 3gp or mp4 (mp4 will be played with hardware)

only record 720p? and double bitrate is 7mbps??
lgCamera is way better!

lgCamera doesn't work for me (and reading comments in GPlay, for many).
I see the buttons, but video feedback (viewfinder) is just black. When trying to record video, it says "Video recording failed".
So yeah...

they made lgCamera availble for One X
had black screen too with lite, but not with pro
try restarting your device, this could work

sorry wrong thread, pls delete.

Pictures while recording video

Taking pics while recording video. Check! Works fine!
Is there an option to take pics from an individual screen frame? As in I pause a video and instead of a low-res screenshot, it takes a full quality frame grab as a pic? I realize it wouldn't be 8mp, but it'll be better than a screenshot.
Thoughts?

Wrong section buddy....

You can't do that, your video is in 1080p no where close to 8mp frame therefore you won't be able to do it, btw for question use the q&a forums, development is only for roms, hacks, kernels, etc
Make sure you read xda rules and make life easier for everyone
Thanks

Oh geez - I posted in the wrong section.. Sorry for the inconvenience.. Thanks for maybe answering my question though.

HTC 10 Camera Video Recording and mkv.

Any way to change the .mkv recording to .mpg4 when shooting video with stock camera app? This is a PIA when trying to use Videos you've shot with other apps. I'd just roll with the Google Camera but there's no silent option that I've found.

You should disable " High res audio" to record in with a normal extention.

You sir are a legend!!! Have you done any comparative testing by chance with the High Res on vs Off?

I just tested this and the High Res Audio isn't a gimmick. The **** is fire. If a person was shooting something that would edit later they want this. If a person was shooting clips or something for social media or something else they could pass and it is still great.

He<y There, is there any chance to post somewhere a mkv recorded with the 10 in some loud clubs or something?
I am really trying to find out if it is better, or close even to the 4mics of the 950xl Lumia (distortion free audio recording)
Can you please go to a club and record some music ?

The only club I occupy is the gym lol but here is an album I uploaded with myself in the woods. There are multiple videos all recorded with High Res Audio. https://plus.google.com/+BrandonBuhler/posts/f5g3ndNXZve It picks up crazy detail in the ambient sounds. In some of the water shots I am quite a ways away but it's still awesome. I tested outside earlier and the main differences is that the back ground audio is clearer and more detailed. If I get out today in a crowded area I'll grab a few samples as comparison. I know it won't be the same as a loud club but it's probably the best I can do. :good:

Probably in the default.acc never checked for it but I do know other 4k video camera apps have unlimited time.

it seems that if you go back to 1080P you won't have this limitation, only with 4k ...Well I can live with this...

This tweak requires hardware support, e.g. Snapdragon 200/400 can't work with 4K video.

That's why doesn't work on 520....

Due to low hardware this trick isn't working well for some users.

Hi, strange user @Akki_X. JFYI, 4K video requires, first of all, camera with > 8Mp matrix (3840 pixels × 2160 pixels = 8.3 megapixels, aspect ratio 16:9). So, don't waste your (and others) time for posting this kind of useless and stupid hacks!

@sensboston
I agree. But it is not a stupid post, just one lacking needed research. Plus why open a seperate thread to discuss something that has already been posted...
On a side note. I thought you were upset at how W10M is turning out, interestingly you are still around adding to posts...

Chill dude

I was just asking about this trick because I wasn't sure about this and I thought some of users may could help about this so that I posted. My intention isn't wasting Your time to read this post. Let people try to ho forward, don't push Them behind. E.g- Project Astoria was dead... Now many users are keep focusing on that.
Thanks! ??

@nate0, did you get my point? To shoot 4K video, registry change is not enough (absolutely). First, you must have a 4K capable camera, second - your handset hardware must have enough performance and power to handle 4K video stream. There is no point to "research"; Nokia/MS engineers aren't stupid and nonprofessional. If your phone's camera not marked as "4K capable", you can't (physically) shoot 4K videos. Period.

Changing the registry value to 4 doesn't make your device shoot at 4k, the registry value 4 means the highest your camera support.
i.e. If your device shows maximum capture as 720p but, your camera can shoot 1080p because it supports it, for example 5MP camera, then the value 4 will enable 1080, not 2160(4k).
