[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...

[Q] -How do you Improve S3 Camera?

I was interested in using the HX Camera Mod which can record:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWb6rVWBkMs
"This is an application developed by hyperX for ROOT users that allows you to increase the video recording specification from 19 Megabits per second to 24 Mbps in fine mode to an impressive 30Mbps in superfine mode.
This improvement works when the device is recording in HD at 1080p and even if the quality video is 720p is, raising from 10Mbps to 15Mbps in fine mode and 19Mbps in superfine mode, hyperX has also worked on improving the audio quality by raising to 192 Kbps and according to comments is developing an option to increase to 60 frames per second."
But I heard its only for the International variants...
So, are there any good ways to improve the camera quality?

Are there videos showing it in action? I did some Google search and it looks like its video quality is the same as the s3. It also says its for stock roms, I have the PACman rom. I'm not sure why it says its for stock roms but will it work? Plus would it provide the same video quality as the youtube video I posted?
I looked online youtube videos of the note 2 camera and it looks the same as the s3 camera

I don't see those options, its still looks the same.I think its b/c I dont have stock rom...or im doing something wrong
I installed the zip, deleted the delvic cache, and restarted. I don't see the slow motion option or any change
I'm running android 4.2.2
Basically, I'm not sure how to install it since what I've been doing hasn't worked.

I think when you see stock rom it doesnt mean aosp it means stock for its manufactor. htc phones (stock sense)
samsung (stock tw) if it says aosp then you know its not stock

Awesome thanks. But that name doesnt match the one in the video. Also Im assuming this is from the link that was posted above. Seems like this is a note 2 camera modded and themes like the aosp. Witch is fine with me because it looks more like the S4. But also seems like it only works on Android 4.1.2 and not 4.1.1

[MOD] Enable ClearMotion on MIUI based ROMs

Folks, I bring to you the wonderful frame interpolation feature supported by our chipset MediaTek Helio X10: ClearMotion!
Disclaimer:
Confirmed working on most MIUI builds for Redmi Note 2. (7.0.12, 7.0.14, 7.1.4.0 CHINA, 7.1.3.0 CHINA, 5.12.24, 5.12,23, 5.11.1 etc)
Does not work on Global stable MIUI Builds beyond 7.0.12; however, it works in equivalent China builds.
Pre-requisites:
Rooted Redmi Note 2 (or MediaTek based device on MIUI 7 ROM)
TWRP or CWM recovery installed
Flashable zip file containing ClearMotion libraries ported to MIUI
Steps:
Method 1:
Download the file "Enable_ClearMotion_v2_for_Redmi_Note_2_by_Hasaan6545.zip" and place it in your sdcard
Reboot into recovery and backup your ROM (as a precaution).
Flash the file. Reboot
Play a video using MX Player (or any player that supports HW decoding) and feel the difference
Method 2 (Only for those who can not flash the zip for any reason; you may attempt manual installation).
Download the file "Enable_ClearMotion_v2a_for_Redmi_Note_2_by_Hasaan6545.zip" and place it in your sdcard. Extract the folder.
Using "Root Explorer", navigate to "system/build.prop" and use its built in text editor to add the following lines at the end of the file. Don't forget to add an extra empty line at the end.
Code:
persist.sys.display.clearMotion=1
persist.clearMotion.fblevel.nrm=255
persist.clearMotion.fblevel.bdr=255
ro.mtk_clearmotion_support=1
ro.mtk_slow_motion_support=1
ro.mtk_16x_slowmotion_support=1
(Alternatively, you may add these lines to your build.prop file using any build.prop tweaker from Play Store)
Using Root Explorer, copy the libraries located in the zip file's system/lib folder into your phone's "root>system>lib" directory.
Reboot your system and play a video to see the difference (if the mod worked for you)
For more details on ClearMotion Technology and how to check if it is working for you: HERE
Download link: HERE
WHY NOT SIMPLY USE AOSP ROMs FOR CLEARMOTION ON REDMI NOTE 2?
AOSP ROMs for Redmi Note 2 offer ClearMotion and MiraVision by default; however, there are advantages of using ClearMotion on MIUI instead of switching to AOSP:
Camera with MediaTek's InstantFocus™ and TrueBright™ technology: On MIUI, we retain a good quality camera that we have to sacrifice when switching to AOSP. (Yes, the fast focus speeds and superior image quality on MIUI ROMs are not due to the "so-called" PDAF sensor; it's because of Helio X10's InstantFocus and TrueBright technologies; both of which are operational in MIUI Camera.
Most AOSP ROMs for Redmi Note 2 are (currently) plagued by an assortment of deep sleep bugs that pop up at times and drain battery during standby. This is very annoying; and is attributable to AOSP Lollipop Build 5.0.x more than the ports itself.
Slow Motion feature on MIUI is superior to that in AOSP's (the latter needs the stock camera app and saves videos that can be played in slow motion only through the stock video player; whereas MIUI actually exports a slow motion video in mp4 format that can be played using any player, and can also be shared)
I really feel suited to AOSP, but the MIUI ROM also has much eye candy to offer.
If you like this mod, don't forget to hit the thanks button!!
Notes:
This is an answer to those who claim that this mod makes the ROM stagefright vulnerable (Ironically, the same people include this mod within their ROMS)
30/12 V2 released: Added build.prop tweak in the zip file so installation is much more simpler. Stagefright issue investigated: Modifications in an older AOSP-based libstagefright.so included in this mod are necessary for the mod to work. Those of you who are still upset about stagefright alarm in some stagefright testing apps, please consider the following:
1. You may simply disable MMS auto-retrieval for their safety
2. Flash this patch that disables stagefright functions using build.prop (Credits: Edzamber, source) : http://www.mediafire.com/download/gi4113dll3g98l6/Disable_Stagefright_by+build.prop_v2.zip
3. There is very, very little possiblity that the stagefright bug will ever be exploited against you; whereas the mod is yours for everyday use.

Click to collapse
Last but not the least, I respect the developer community; however, the courtesy of giving credit for the mod when included in the ROMs should humbly be observed. I posted this mod in December 2015; prior to which nobody was able to enable ClearMotion on MIUI and many people claimed that it would be impossible to do so due to software differences.
Happy modding everyone

Glad you like it
MiraVision works but MIUI's builtin display settings conflict with it.
I personally think that MiraVision is unnecessary because when you play videos on YouTube or view pictures against a black background, MiraVision thinks that the image being displayed is underexposed and therefore boosts up brightness and lowers the contrast which looks ugly. Apart from that, it's a handy little feature.

Screenshots don't help. This mod can be seen to work while videos are being played. However, if the screen doesn't divide in demo mode, it's unlikely that the ClearMotion is functi onal. Have you tried playing the video using HW decoder on MX Player? Are you sure that build.prop lines are added properly?
Reinstall the mod and/or try it on any other MIUI version. It does work.

Glad you like it. The videos play perfectly in sync with the audio. The only noticeable delay is immediately after seeking (as the SoC loads the successive frames and generates images to interpolate).
As the whole process is hardware optimized, battery life does NOT suffer.

Can anyone confirm that this Mod work on MIUI Beta ROM ?

This mod boosts the framerate; not the texture itself. However, the output is visually pleasing and I guess I understand what you mean when you compare it to playing a Pc Game (Hardcore gamers always play at a minimum of 1080p @ 60fps )

[MOD] HEVC/H.265 Video Recording V2.1

I was able to modify OnePlus 5 to enable HEVC/H.265 video recording at 4k, 1080p & 720p resolutions. I have also reduced the bit rate for the video so that it will take less storage space.
There are 2 Magisk module attached below one with 40% bit rate reduction and other with original bitrate.
Note - Take a backup of your 'media_profiles.xml' located at system/etc/ before attempting this mod.
To install just unzip and overwrite 'media_profiles.xml' at system/etc/ with permission 0644 and reboot your phone.
Here is a link to the file on google drive if you are not able to download it here.https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BwXqylXTgITAOWllTi1XRE5qdDA
Update V2-
Added Magisk Module
Decreased the video bit-rate by around 40%
Video is currently recorded at following bit-rate
4K at 24Mbps (default is 42Mbps)
1080p at 11Mbps (default is 20Mbps)
720p at 8Mbps (default is 14Mbps)
Update V2.1-
Fix for slow motion crashing on modded google camera
Tested only on OxygenOS 4.5.8

Don't have a 3/3t to test it out, but most probably it won't work as the camera setup is different.

What did you modify to enable this? Would be useful to know so that we can see if the same could be done on the 3/3T

Is there any noticeable reduction in image or sound quality?

Really useful... Could you please do the same for 3 and 3t? Or at least try? Thank you

media_profiles.xml needs to be modified to enable hevc encoding. You can check media_codecs.xml file in /system/etc/ to check if your phone supports hevc encoding, or if you want me to look into it just upload these two files and I will have a look.

Files are from the open beta 11 for the 3t, should be similar to the stable channel and 3. And the thread mentioned above for op3 is a really old one, additional codec support has been added to the devices since. Colud create conflicts, so I wouldn't be trying that out.
Edit I do see the support for hevc in media_codec.xml

opening video with desktop player says hevc so it should be worked. good job!! I guess we can have same quality with less bitrate as to say better quality at the same bitrate, even if max quality remains the same (sensor's limit)

I just made a test: recorded 2 videos at lowest bitrate in 264 (1,5mb/s) and 265 (0.8mb/s). 265 quality is much much better!

To install just overwrite 'media_profiles.xml' at system/etc/ with permission 0644 and reboot your phone.
Here is a link to the file on google drive if you are not able to download it here.https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BwXqylXTgITAOWllTi1XRE5qdDA
Tested only on OxygenOS 4.5.5

I'm not familiar with these things; What's the advantage of doing this?

H.265 codec reduces file size without compromising video quality.

Files are from the open beta 11 for the 3t, should be similar to the stable channel and 3. And the thread mentioned above for op3 is a really old one, additional codec support has been added to the devices since. Colud create conflicts, so I wouldn't be trying that out.
Edit I do see the support for hevc in media_codec.xml

Test to see if the attached file works for you. (don't forget to take a backup of the original)
