Hi brothers, now I wrtie to ask if somebody knows where is the register entry for the xperia camera, I think i found it but it won't show all the entries that the HTC cameras show. The HTC cameras registry entries has all detailed on different folders like JPEG settings, medium quality video, high qualitity video, and stuff like that.
Well, I think that I have the solution for the bad quality video of the xperia when you shake o move your phone, I think you know that I mean. You see always pixelation, and that have various reasons. One is that the video format is very bad quality for, it's only 3GP and we don't have a choice like other HTC Cameras when you have MP4, CIF and other formats. Other reason is the video's bitrate and THIS is our solution.
If we can turn up the bitrate of course we'll have better quality in the videos and we can see especialy an improment in scenarios like sports when we have to move the phone very much. Of course, that bitrate increment become the video more heavy but that's something we have to deal with because the quality worth it.
Other solution is find a way to change the video format to H264 or MP4 and combine the bitrate idea with this video format too.
I have been making some experiments but no luck yet. Any ideas?
Nobody?
I'm sure that somebody can post one good idea. Come on people, you guys make the best HTC's roms and more, I don't think you have no idea about solving this. Somebody?
I think its Sony+HTC problem, not something that belongs to here ...
just like u can't have smile shutter, same ways, u can't change recording format ... may be some time in future, Sony might add support for h264 recording in firmwares, just like they added auto flash and geotag in leaked R3AA/R4AA rom.
Thanks for the reply
Thnaks for the answer! You are totally right in every point BUT I think that waiting is not an option for me because I bought the Xperia almost replacing my HTC TyTN + Sony Camera. I like to record almost all the concerts I go and the Xperia is the right option if we can make some camera improvements. I think if someone give me the xperia camera source code I can do everything by myself, or at least that is that I have in mind
Even, I think we can make a few changes for the camera to allow to zoom when recording video (if somebody haven't done it yet..).
In other hand, where can I find the R4AA rom? I didn't know that was already out. Again, thanks for the reply!

there is no r4aa. he was refering to unknown sourced leaked camera app with geotagging and auto flash, which supposed to be present in r3aa, but never was actually.
zoom facility in the video recording of the xperia is a very welcome step...hope somebody smart enough in the xda forum look forward to it...
I think it could be done, because the camera app uses a system file to access the camera, then it uses a video or picture encoder to produce a picture or a video. If somebody change the encoder and set the new parameters or settings into the camera app i think that it will work.
Exactly
And I'm your men, I wanna do that, but I have to view the source code or something. Where can I find it? Anyone on this forum can give me a hand to start working? Thanks!
I think that the better way is create a new camera app and add lots of features and then sell the app to a company like spb.

Hi,
Now I know the TP2 is not a digicam ... But can anyone share any tips on how to get the best out of the TP2 for video recording.
Some thoughts I have include:
1) Fast SD card
2) 3rd party video software???
3) Improving fps from 12.5. I guess reducing resolution..??
However I appreciate the TP2 is a phone .... but with some jolly useful extras.
Thanks,
Sam
i havent try but maybe apps like coolcamera?
Hi guys
A quick one. When recording with the touch pro 2 is there a black border to the right side of the picture you are recording? that means the picture you are recording doesnt fill the screen. I just noticed this tonite and i dont think this has always been the case
since I posted my question over 30 people have read it but have just moved along without helping. This isnt a difficult question and all someone has to do is pick up their phone, launch the camera and click on video recording to see if the black border exists. This should not even take you a minute but people just read and move on. If I start a new thread asking my specific question, you,ll get some id1ots talking rubbish about using the search function. well I have and it doesnt return any results for my query. So is there any sensible person out there willing to check this out for me?

Hi Lombardo8,
Yes, there is black strip on the right side of the screen but ONLY when you save video. When you play this video it is over full screen.
Sorry for my "English".

Nino
Thank you very much Nino. Have a nice day
12.5 fps? Probably for videos meant as video messages (eg vzw flix mms). But with Mp4 I had 15-20 fps even in 640x480. Best advice. use MP4 video. Stay away from H.264 because that is CPU heavy and results in blocky looking video. Black border on the right side? It only means you are not recording in widescreen mode and does not show up in playback. Select the widescreen option in advanced options and border is gone. Not sure if this will work on video, but it does on pics.
I'm not all too thrilled with CoolCamera. First, it's buggy as hell. Second, it's not free. And third, it doesn't work on all devices. I tried it on my Q9M about a year ago. Hasn't been updated since then. Since the Q9m has a crappy camera, I wanted more options. Unfortunately this program didn't help, as the options didn't work on that phone. The camera on my TP2, different story. Very advanced compared to the Q's crappy setup. Don't even want to try CoolCamera on this thinking it might be worse off than factory HtcCamera. There have to be better options then that program (CoolCam). The developer of that app has focused on his webcam app instead.
How did you get your camera to record at 640x480 my Tilt2 doesnt seem to have that option
I've been trying to increase my camera's quality by editing the "media_profiles.xml" file, without luck. It seems like it's been ignoring my changes to the file. The first thing I've tried to do was simply to increase the fps from 30 to 60, to see what happens. There are many different encoder profiles for 1080p video, so I've edited them all, without luck.
I know that you can already record in 60 fps by selecting the different mode i the camera app, but I'd also like to increase the bitrate of both the video and the audio, and also the resolution (if possible) to the camera sensor's maximum of 2688х1520 pixels. (120 fps possible, for ultra slowmotion?)
I'm s-off with the newest firmware for 4.4.3 and running Android Revolution 9.1 (wiped this morning, so fresh installation).
I know about this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2743174&page=52
But unfortunately it doesn't work for my phone since the 4.4.3 update (even though there's a person saying that it does work for him/her) I also want to learn how to edit the settings so I can customize it so it suits me.

Bump!

So I've been using this since released and it is an amazing rom, lovin it.
2 questions about the new camera though. I have seen a video where in split capture both front and rear record simultaneously, however it seems to only work capturing rear camera and then after capturing front camera. Is the M7 not capable of the simultaneous capture? Also does the M7 not support the Full Hd (1920x1080) resolution for videos? When attempting to record it looks very sharp and crisp but when playing the recording back i get blotched colors and a thick green and purple line on the right side of the video.

The m7 does not have native dual capture like the m8 does.
In regular camera before Eye experience, it is able to capture image from both, with a PictureInPicture looking window for front camera.
At one point, I attempted to try and enable dual capture for the m7, but did not have much luck and did not try for long.
It's possible that it could be enabled, but I have yet to do so.
Most of that would be done kernel side and I do believe it can be done.
But HTC never gave us that ability on the m7.
So yeah, to use dual capture/split view, it takes one and then the other.
As far as the video, yes it does HD.
I have yet to do a lot of video with the Eye camera, but I did not notice anything like that in my testing.
You may actually be one of the many who have an inferior sensor, as many have had to send theirs in for repair/replacement for similar issues.
It may just be that the newer camera stresses it more, making it more apparent.
I assume you are in fact on the latest firmware, so that shouldn't be a concern.
If others are having similar effects, then it could be a result of porting the libs and binaries for the new features from the m8.
But if it's just happening for you, or a select few, then I would lean towards the hardware failure that HTC is aware of.
Thanks for the info, after posting this i messed around with the settings for the video issue. This is what I came across, if I set video quality to 1920x1080 via settings and shoot video on auto i get what I described in my post. If I change from auto and shoot in hdr I do not get the blothchy color or lines but image seems to be zoomed in a little.
Now when i set video quality to 1280x720 via settings and shoot video on auto no image issues. If I change from auto to hdr still using 1280x720 in the settings i get a 1920x1080 video that looks like it should not zoomed in either.
Seems odd but got it working. So would this be a hardware issue like you suggested or issue with the app, seeing it was meant for the M8?
Thanks again for sharing your work !
Camera Issue
First off Santod, been using your ROMS for quite a while now and have greatly appreciated your hard work. I have just one problem with this new one, as I see someone has already stated, I too am having an issue with my camera during recording. It looks fine on the screen while recording, but after recording i go to look at the video, and it's almost as if the split picture is active, but only for the back camera. What I mean is that there appears to be a line cutting the screen into two sections (like the split picture does, but it's still the whole screen video from the back camera) and the colors are off, almost as if it has the negative filter on but not quite. I have not had any issue with the camera previous to installing this new ROM. There is also a green line that shows up on the top of the video, on all the videos i have taken. Im not entirely sure that it isn't a software issue as I haven't had any trouble on previous roms, but I'm sure you know a lot more about it than I do. I'm about to reflash the ROM and see if that doesn't maybe fix it, but I figured I would let you know of the only problem I have encountered so far. Thanks again for all your work!

I tried this also, and it had the exact same effect for me. I wish I would have seen this yesterday as I recorded a whole show last night with messed up video and didn't even know it lol. Thanks for this, I guess I will use this as a workaround for now.
---------- Post added at 04:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:32 PM ----------
Upon closer inspection when i played back the video on my computer, the video is actually two of the same videos playing next to each other, not a whole video cut in half by a line.
some bug, need fix
Before, i really Thanks You cuz best series Rom for M7 VWZ.
Yesterday, i up this Rom for my M7 VWZ, but have some bug ...
I'm from Vietnam and use GSM Sim, i'm up from NuSence 4.4.3 and have some bug....
1> Only Call success at first call, then need restart for other call.
2> have icon Sim Notsupport in status bar,
i was reup many times but it's still that, now, i;m go back NS 4.4.3
P/s: Can you port "Ufocus" on M8 for M7 VWZ ?
I don't have any reboot options on my power menu. The only options I see are "Power off" and "Airplane mode". I also can't find any options for changing this, either in the installer or in Settings. Is there a way to fix this without doing a full wipe?
If it makes any difference, I originally installed this ROM using a full wipe with Nova Launcher selected, then later re-installed without wipe to change the launcher to Blinkfeed (but the reboot option has never appeared with either launcher).
Issues with Chromecast
Hey Santod,
I have been trying to mirror my screen with the chromecast app. as it connects it then disconnects and never actually works. I had it working on your older Nusense Six 8.0. Just wondering if this is something you can work on or if this is something I will just have to wait until the next iteration of builds.
Thanks,
Kevin Clark
Casting screen with Chromecast
Does anyone else have issues casting your screen with Chromecast? I tried, and it immediately ends the cast, leaving my TV at a black screen.
Thanka

I can also confirm that screen casting my screen no longer works as it did in the previous NuSense. So far this only appears to be an issue with Mirroring. Casting from apps like Youtube and Netflix work fine for me.

My battery life with this rom has been insane. I'd be at thirty percent after ten hours on gpe and dirty unicorns and the dalvik version of nusense.
Thanks for making a great rom, looking forward to Chromecast screen mirroring.

Issues switching to ART
Hey Santod,
I haven't gotten any reply from you about the chromecast issue. I understand. You are a great developer. I did have a quick question about ART though. I tried to switch my Phone to ART, but it didn't actually switch over when I told it to reboot to switch to ART. What am I doing wrong?

Currently I have a broken arm, so my presence and ability to type are somewhat effected.
i dont use Chromecast so cant help too much there.
i know I saw info online about it and how you have to access it differently then what seemed obvious.
As for Art, Xposed is not Art compatible and will auto revert you to dalvik if enabled.
So you have to choose one or the other, which is why I left Xposed out of this build.
A while back CM12 had a patch that enabled 4K video recording. I remember that it even worked SOME of the time, but mostly it showed to be recording without saving anything. Currently on CM12 and Blisspop the option is again removed - probably because it was buggy: review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/103494
I've tried many different camera ZIPs from other manufacturers (Motorola cam, Lenovo cam) but they do not appear to enable 4K either.
I tried playing around with the media_profiles configuration file, uncommenting the 4K profile. This does enable 4K video recording - even saving, but the framerate is really bad (<10), both with stock and third party cameras.
So my question: Did anyone ever get smooth 4K video to work on AOSP? If so what was the combination of software used?
yes it did work for idiots who;
1) flased xXcameraXxfix_AROMA_VIPERPRO_v4_FAKXDA_LIKE_SUBSCRIBE_DONATE_YOUTELLMEBUGS.zip
2) set the resolution to 4K
3) shot a video
4) never realized it didn't even save, even if it did, it was lagging between 5 and 15 fps
TL;DR
no, it did not, i have flashed all the 3rd party crap from random monkeys claiming they fixed the camera on aosp promising stock quality
to those who come in here telling me it does, provide proof or gtfo

BUT, is there any non-stock ROM with STOCK camera quality? No 4K, I do not need that, only 1080p (60 fps or 30).
Nope Coki4, unfortunately Tehosiris is right: with the HTC cam and resolution "fix" I can record in 4K, but it is still way too low framerate (15 FPS or worse).
Voterx: To me 4K is most important, hence the thread. If i want proper pictures I take my DSLR anyway... 4K video is something that is really a beautiful thing if you have the screen to display it. There is a huge difference between 1080p and 4K.
To me it is starting to look like the camera driver in AOSP source is just not able to push the pixels?
Snap camera does it. I have also found that snap camera takes as good, or better in some cases, pictures as the stock camera.

What are you doing to get those file properties? Want to check what my jerky files say..
edit:
Properties here also shows 30 fps, but the video is jerky as fuuuuuu* - i guess it is saved "as" 30 FPS but it just drops a bunch. Yes it is 4K but def not 30 FPS, even if the file shows it to be (for me).
but.. if it is smooth for you I want to know your exact rom details so I can try to achieve my holy grail.
can one of the digital cowboys upload these fabled 4k videos shot on aosp?
i still yet to see a nonstock 4k video that doesn't lag like ****
@geekmystique the jerkyness doesn't show in properties, they are just the same as regular videos, you can check the properties in root explorer or any other file explorer.

your 2nd screenshot shows that the 4k video is in 59.9 fps, now THAT i'd like to see.
bending physics with an apk eh? :laugh:
edit: judging from the amount of silence after the bigface comments, i assume it takes an awful lot of time to upload the fabled 60fps 4k video (translation: someone is full of **** and/or clueless)
Let's not make this into a flamewar of sorts.
This is a video I took of my hand waving in front of the camera, whatever the file info says, it is not 30 FPS - by far, it is dropping frames like crazy. The file properties say 30 FPS in MPCHC, but windows properties shows the truth: 18 FPS.

Let's discuss
I do not need 4K, I just need stock quality camera in custom ROMS It's different question.

i suggest you take a look at the camera comparison post here on xda, showing stock / moto / htc / whatever side-by-side
there is no such thing as stock quality on non-LG driver backed software
Anyways, i'm absolutely on geekmystique's side here, i've had multiple people giving me lectures how i need to flash xyz.zip set ABC settings to DEF, align my device towards Mars, count to 7 and stand on my left foot to have AMAZING STOCK QUALITY PHOTOS AND VIDEOS.
Guess what, i've done all those steps, flashed all the zips, pirated all the ****ty apks and gotten nothing but disappointment.
Thats why there is sarcasm towards these 'BUT MY AOSP CAMERA IZ BETTUR BRUH YOU SUK', when it's clearly not. Hell, half of the conversations ended at 'WHO NEEDS 4K' or 'I DONT NEED CAMERA ANYWAYS' which is ridiculus when it's these people giving lectures on how to flash stuff they don't even know what it contains.
