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?

Hi
Had a search and couldn't find an answer so here I go.
I believe that the desire records at 15 fps which leads to choppy recordings vs my iPhone 3gs. I was wondering, is there a hack to increase the fps beyond what it currently sits at?
Thanks

Yes, Froyo. Should add 720p recording at min 20 FPS.
Does the eventual update also add better sound quality to video recordings?
I say AMR 8000khz codec is worse then my now defunct N73....

I really don't see why HTC chose to only encode audio with the AMR-codec at such low quality... Is the microphone of such poor quality that they "hide" it using this codec?
Anyone tried recording sound using some another software?

What would your guys recommend for playing .avi videos on the Desire? There are so many to choose from. Act 1 is good? It's not free

The beta RockPlayer is the best AVI player we currently have. However, which AVI it plays depends on that vids properties (like format).
Check the themes and apps section under titles like 'DivX/XviD player'.
Act 1 is excellent for many other vids, like H.264.

I can't link or search threads through the phone app but this has been discussed extensively before. You can record much higher quality audio using other apps. Mainly those saving in MP3, PCM, MP4 and WAV. I'm not sure how they do it though.
For simple, quick, voice recording I use Virtual Recorder the most.

i absolutely agree with you....i want a super smooth recording and playback at the 480p size and not more...if the quality of this is good then you can upscale it with conversion...but if it's crappy high resolution then even if you downgrade it it won't be very smooth
You can already see what the unofficial, hacked HD recording is like, i.e. http://db.tt/0Ngrnd

As has been discussed a few times priorly, the current vid recording FPS have been observed to fluctuate between ~3-28 based on the ambient light levels, level of motion in the footage and the speed of the cam movement. The current recording can be much improved over but these factors contribute to some hard fundamental limitations.

Ok first off i am not sure if this is the right place to ask for this, but I'm pretty sure im not the only one who would like to see it happen.
As everyone now knows 720p recording has been achieved on windows phone 7 Builds for the HD2 (WELL DONE DFT AND ALL WHO CONTRIBUTED!!) and it looks pretty good in my opinion, but sad to say I favour android on my HD2.
So I am asking for 720p video recording to be brought to android aswell (please ). Or atleast for devs to concider it a priority, again i know its not really my place to ask but if i didn't who would
Thx

Correct me if i'm wrong, but it is there already.

Hey guy's been fiddling about with my one x and igcamera from android market,managed to record 1920x1080 video in stereo at 128k audio and 28mbits video at around 29 fps! it's far smoother than the standard crap what htc has left us with! only draw back i can see so far is when you start recording the screen seems to change to some weird aspect ratio?
Settings i used were continuous video auto focus,128k audio.30mbit capture in full 1920x1080 has anyone else used this prog and managed to figure out why the aspect ratio changes when you start recording?

A new way to bypass compression!!
Hey.
At the One X when I choose stabilizations an image while filming program is falling apart. When taking pictures, the image jumps and crazy about the program.
Movies shooting in good quality, but it hangs ...

Hmm? It has always supported the One X.. I've had it installed for a month already -_- Bypasses compression, but not dropped frames. Still as bad as stock cam.

only a few days ago then it started to officially support the one x.
Nice, just installed the Pro version, photo's uncompressed, you'll get a file size of 4,5mb, instead of the 1,5 of htc, better quality
you can record movies in 3gp and mp4.. I've set it to mp4, because that runs better on the One X
also the bitrate to 30mbps, instead of the 7 you get from stock htc camera
stereo quaility record on 320kbps and 48hz
218mb for 1min mp4 movie, hmm haha
maybe I should try 20mbps bitrate
Do you have drop frames in video?

Same happens to me when I try to activate the stabilisation in the camcorder.
Great camera app, I'm playing with it at the moment trying all options and buttons.
Recording in mpeg4 with video bitrate of 100Mbit and video framerate 30 plus resolution 1920x1088. (5 seconds video is 16,9mb)
Switching between picture and camcorder works fine for me and also stabilisation I've enabled, no freeze.
I still use the free version.
I can switch between picture and camcorder without problems.
Also stabilisation I have enabled.
Edit; the camcorder is very very nice, without it the camcorder is great as well but if the zoom would work fluent it would be a kick ass camcorder!
Edit 2; the zoom does work fluent! You can zoom in and out with the volume button WOW !!!!
Last edit; the zoom isn't fluent but I can live with that (hopefully it can be fixed in futher development), bought the pro version.

* Auto rotate video

On my stock HOX the free version of lgCamera hangs whenever I go to video-recording mode forcing me to click the menu button to exit the app. It also, somehow, manages to shut down the camera service making even the stock HTC camera to malfunction!
So far the latest Camera ICS (free version) has managed to work flawlessly with my device, making incredible videos that are almost 500mb in size for a 2min clip, but remains on the 24 frames all the time. Videos do look smooth though.
What I want to know is if someone using lgCamera has managed to bypass the stock framerate limit of 24fps? And what are the results?
I'm on a no rooted stock HOX as well, latest 1.29.401.11
Weird but all does function fine for me, no freeze nothing.
I've set the frame rate at 30 but how can I check if it's real 30?
Edit; your right, last video does 21 frames per second.
Edit; my apologies I just realise by reading your post a second time that you do not have any problems on latest version as well.

Hi again,
I've just had a very fast reply by email from the developer of lgCamera.
He told me that previous version 6.25 did hang sometimes but latest version 6.3 is checked on all mode and shouldn't.
Are you running the latest version?

exactly the same issue with paid app, latest version.
it's the only app so far that managed to **** up the stock camera, needed a reboot to get it working again
i also have wrong aspect ratio in the viewfinder after pressing record, when shooting video, but the recorded material is fine....
So far Camera ICS+ is superior, even with 24fps.
The developer of lgCamera has opened a new thread for beta testing
in the general apps and games all device Android section >> HERE
Yes I downloaded the latest free version from the market. I downloaded by other means the old pro 1.25 version and it works flawlessly, it manages 30fps while recording from a moving vehicle! Strange, right?
You can check the framerate and other properties of your videos by opening those files with MX Player.
So, does the newest version lgCamera in your case, create videos with a higher bitrate than the stock camera?

I've got my HTC a month ago,Europe version,Grey.No issues at all hardware or software,i stil can't belive the build issues people complain to One x.Maybe i got a good build.Everything works smooth,all in all perfect 5 but!!!I love my phone!Whenever i record video or audio,no matter what quality or resolution,if there is background music,something like pop,electro something a bit bassy and rich sound,the sound is all mesed up.Its not even,its high pitched,its highs are all right,but mids and low are garbage.Its frustrating to delete video just for the sound,could there be a fix in the update,is it only my device,what can i do to fix it,or should i give it back.It is very frustrating,video quality is epic,but audio recording is crap,glitchy,cracky.Even my Desire S has better audio recording.I tought it's that crapy speakerphone,but it isn't.This doesn't change if i open it from another device like my PC.Please help me iam at my wits end with this...
Facing the same issue!
Whenever I make video recording some thing on a houseparty it seems like it tries to balance the sound somehow,.. on my computer it sounds like 8 kbit quality or somethig
yeah I got that too, just tried recording my sons band and the sound is awful
I had the same issue when I enabled stereo recording in the camera app.
The only resolution was to disable the setting.

I too have noticed the same problem, video I took at a wedding was terrible. I am wondering if it is because generally when taking a video my hand seems to cover the microphone hole at the bottom, will need to take some more videos to verify.
Same here, overly compressed and squashed sound that doesn't make sense in a few videos.
I wish there was some way to get rid of all the Beats Audio and audio output files and replace them with the galaxy or sony xperia ones, unless it is a hardware compressor in which case it is a total design failure.

I dont think its covering the mic with the hand. I took care not too, using 2 different one x's and they were both the same. I have turned off the stereo recording now and will try again next time
Also, there's an option to enhance sound when you play videos through the gallery app. This has made things sounds strange for me too.

i'm on stock and have now tried just about everything possible to get reasonable sound recording in a party (music and talking and glasses etc) setting and its just not possible.
It's the built in noise cancellation feature during video recording that is doing this. No way around it AFAIK.
The same problem was in the HTC sensation. Still not forgiven HTC about that as they boasted stereo sound recording. HTC desire had similar poor recording but that got sorted in an update. Here's a thing to try. What happens when you use voice recording? Is the sound still poor? Gonna try now.
