[MOD] Hacked Camera.APK for better audio quality, usage with any battery life & MORE!
Final Update-
Some people have been asking for sourcecode/instructions, so once more, this is the method I used, all credit to Rafalense.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10980448&postcount=268
Those of you wanting me to reupload the APK's, I'm sorry, I don't have them stored anymore, and I wouldn't put them up even if I did. They're based on ANCIENT firmware revisions, and whilst I can appreciate you still would like the functionality somehow, I'm not interested in taking on the project again at this time. Thank you very much for your continued use and desire for my work though, it's very flattering.
I won't be actively developing or supporting this anymore because of it's defunct nature. If you want something similar, I highly recommend the lgCamera app, which has a far better implementation of improved bitrates (select whatever bitrates you want in a menu.) You can get lgCamera on the market- I highly reccomend it.
Anyone who wants to pick up this project can feel free to discuss here or make a new thread, as you please. If you do, please include the link to the guide by Rafalense, as it was the basis for this mod and will doubtlessly be of use to someone.

If you use the mod regularly, please consider donating, it would really help me out. Don't worry if you can't though, the mod will always be free for all to use.

Hey folks-
It's with great pleasure that I'm releasing a hacked Camera.apk for you all today! This is my first android mod, so be gentle
Info-
The apk replaces the stock Camera.Apk in the Galaxy S II (or Samsung Captivate!), and has the following features-
- Allows use of the camera & camcorder at any battery life
- Records Audio in 192kbps/44.1Khz quality (CD Quality) rather than stock (64kbps/16khz quality)
- Increased Video Bitrate in 1080 and 720p modes* (See 2nd post for info and download link for this version)
- Optional No Sounds versions (for Standard and Highbit versions!). All of the features, None of the noise! Yes, even the autofocus noise is gone!
- HyperX-'s SuperHighBit version now available (See 2nd post for info and download link for this version)
I have left the settings for the 320x240 and 176x144 resolution modes as stock, so they will be the same size and with the same audio. This is to ensure video messages are kept within the filesize limits

Additional info:
If you want to get rid of the shutter sound, create a file in /data called local.prop and add the line "ro.camera.sound.forced=0" and restart your phone. This removes both the shutter sound and the focus sound when your phone is on silent, but keeps the sound when it's not on silent. - llBlackenedll
Install Guide:
1) Root & install a file manager which lets you browse root
2) browse to /system/app, and rename your Camera.apk to Camera.apk.bak and your Camera.odex to Camera.odex.bak (for use as a backup to restore from)
3) Unrar my APK (password: [email protected]) and copy it over to /system/app.
4) Rename it Camera.apk
5) Close the file manager and run the Camera app from the main menu
6) IF the app fails to run, or the shortcut is missing, go back to the /system/app folder and try to install it (tap it in root explorer then "install"). This step is only a fallback, do NOT do this if it works already at step 5.
7) Enjoy!

This mod was tested on my own Galaxy S II with KE2, KE7, KG1, VillainROM and CognitionROM firmwares.

DISCLAIMER TO AVOID DRAMA-
I work on this in my own time as a project, as and when I see fit. At no point does using or donating to the development of this app entitle you to demand anything from me other than what has already been shared. The app is also for use "as is", with no warranty. Support is provided by me (and other helpful members) in this thread and in my PM box as and when we desire.
Anyone who takes an issue with this is more than welcome to not use the app, not post here, and otherwise avoid being a nuisance to the rest of us in this thread.

thanks it works

Nice will download it. But for version 2.. I am able film and listen to music at the same time now on KE7

Cool . Are you able to make the power button work as a shutter key when in the camera app ?

good work, thanks!

This looks great, can someone please upload it to an Android browser friendly file sharing site, like megashare.com for example. Many thanks.

Hi nice work, thanks. I have one problem with it. When I turn on Camera screen brightness turns to the lowest value, so it is very hard to see what I am filming or photographing.

Great work man!
Quesiton: does anyone think that there might be a little more video quality to squeeze out of the phone too, or is this already flat maxed out on 1080p at highest settings?

^^ The video quality is already very good. low light sensitivity is a lot better than iPhone 4, for example. I have tested side by side and the ip4 is blocky in low light and motion isn't as good.

really good job! Works like a charm !!!!

Excellent, could you also fix the force close when running camera on LCD density 160?
It seems only working on the default LCD density 240.

Mine is working fine at 182dpi. But we need a few modifications to the design. It only looks usable at 240dpi.

Really? Lucky you then when I tested on mine it closes the music player while camera app is open... but maybe it's because I'm not using stock music player. I'll test some more. Either way, enjoy:

Was your battery very low? I know if the battery is VERY low the brightness on the whole phone dims completely, but this isn't something I can fix. If not, it's an odd problem, I can't seem to replicate it... mine retains the brightness it is set to. Can you try enabling the "Auto Brightness" in settings (Display -> brightness -> automatic brightness) and see if it works better then? If not you may have to resort to enabling "outdoor visibility mode" in the camera settings to use it until I can replicate it to fix it.

Robbiekhan hit the nail on the head, increasing the bitrate doesnt necessarily increase the quality by a margin that is worth having... especially with the associated filesize increase. I managed to get it working at 32Mpbs bitrate, but the quality didnt warrant doubling the amount of space it used up.

As much as I'd like to, I'm not sure how to go about it. Did the camera app work before at those resolutions? I don't imagine it did, since I didn't change any of the graphics... which means its crashing because of something else. Probably needs a graphic redraw to suitable sizes for the resolutions, but that's quite time consuming and I can't really commit to something like that right now. Sorry.

Yeah but I did it first Mine was ready a few days ago, I just waited for a reply from soraxd as a courtesy before releasing publicly.
The method is the same for changing the video settings as it is audio, but I felt when testing that the difference in quality was not worth the difference in filesize. When I shot a video at 1080p with 36Mbps (that was the max I could use without the phone crashing) it looked virtually identical to the original one, but used up twice the space. If enough people really want it (though I don't see why) I will happily add the functionality to this apk, so you can enjoy the other features as well.
Hope this helped-

It actually works on LCD density 160, but crashes when you try to scroll down at camera settings or change to videocam.
For now I switch density when I use my camera properly, np.

Why can't Sense Roms control softkey backlights...

while cm7 and other AOSP roms can, either directly, in display brightness settings, or through apps (screen filter, Moon + reader etc)? The same apps don't work with the softkeys in sense.
Am currently on cm7, mainly because of the darn softkeys blinding me while reading or watching vids.
And is there a camera app for cm7 that does auto focus, like the HTC camera app? And how about internet pass-through?
It seems I need a combination of both types of Roms!

Have you tried the Miui Camera? I was using it with CM7. It's pretty nice, has Autofocus as well as Antishake.
It can be installed as a system app and replace the stock camera (rename the apk to camera, and place in the system app folder and change the permissions. or just install as a stand alone app. I chose to replace my stock camera.
If you have any issues, let me know.

Thanks!
I'll give this app a try!

Mine must be broken because they are hardly blinding.

I just installed it! First time I had a chance to use the barcode scanner.
Nice app! Is there a way to zoom in using video? And can I use the front camera with it? I haven't found an option for that, so far.

I don't know of any way to zoom on the video.
I have the front facing camera option on the left hand side of the screen near the top. It has a camera with arrows around it. I'm not sure if it is on the version I linked though. I've switched back to the Miui rom and using the lastest version 1.9.9 which has the front facing camera option (works for both camera and video)... I can try and pull the apk and see what happens if I flash it to CM7 later...

Thanks! I would appreciate this very much!
PS: I'm still hoping someone can explain why there is no control over the softkey lights in sense roms.
For example, screen filter and Moon + reader can both turn them off using AOSP roms, but the same apps cannot in Sense roms.
Is this something that is easy to add and nobody else wants this function, or is there something in the sense roms making it hard to incorporate?

Tried flashing the camera from the latest Miui build (1.9.9) in CM 7... no luck, just force closes.
I'm sure there may be someone out there that knows what needs to be modded to make it work. I wish I did...
I'll enclose the apk if anyone wants to try to mess with it.

Thanks a million for trying, Don!

No problem. Good luck on the backlighting.
I enjoy being able to kill mine when reading books. It's a nice feature to have. Crazy that on the sense based roms that dimming the display doesn't effect the soft key back lighting like it does on the Aosp roms Crazy..

The Fixed2 version doesn't have FFC support. There is also a TEST1 version which has enabled the FFC for some. The link in my signature will take you to the post about Fixed2 but it also links to TEST1. I'm currently working on the version from 1.9.2 so if you want to try it out, PM and I'll give you the download link. The only reason I'm not just posting for everybody right now is so people on various devices/roms give feedback about what needs fixed and tweaked.
As far as why we can't take the app right from MIUI and have it work is because it's dependent on pieces of the MIUI framework. Basically, to make it work the apk needs to be decoded and have some of the framework added to it. Would be a lot easier if MIUI was open source.

[Q] How to troubleshoot depth sensor ?

Guys I ve just got a used HTC ONE M8 and i was not aware of the features and functions of the phone. But after going through the reviews I came across duo effects but couldn't use it In my phone . Is there any way to troubleshoot the depth sensor or even check whether it's working or not so that even I can enjoy the benefits.
Can anyone please help me..??

Check out the below article, explains the functions and features.
What is it you're trying to do exactly and what happens?
http://www.htc.com/uk/support/htc-one-m8/howto/473767.html

Actually it is just saying that "duo effects is unavailable for this image"
For every image I take.
I know what are the procedure to take photos for duo effects so thr is no problem in that.

Duo effects are not compatible with manual camera settings. Its likely that you changed some minor & inconspicuous thing that's preventing you from applying duo effects.
Try the following:
- Clear the camera app settings.
- Make sure you don't change any setting, not even the flash.
- Make sure your fingers aren't blocking the depth sensor, and that its clean from greese (a simple wipe will do)
- Test drive the camera and the gallery for duo effects.
Cheers

We're still not ruling out the software side. So, next step: clear data + cache for Gallery, since its responsible for using the depth sensor data to apply effects. Then, when that fails, you still have the tedious task of hard resetting. Then its either a bad rom flash or hardware fault

What about resetting the camera app settings to default?
The option is on the settings menu when in the camera app itself. Do that then just open the camera and take a normal photo without changing any settings and try editing it from the gallery app.
These options need to be set so that duo effects can be used:
Scene Auto
Flash Off
Filters None
Aspect ratio Wide 16:9
Zooming Zoom slider should be at the minimum zoom level.
Continuous shooting Not supported

you're not alone,i too am having this problem after updating the gallery app from the play store..If I take photos i get the duo effects unavailable for this image..If I roll back the gallery update to default by uninstalling the updates i can add the effects to the picture i took so the duo sensor is working..But when I install the updates back to the gallery app no new photos can work with duo effects..
Did you get this resolved? If so,how?

I had to go in to setup then apps then the gallery. I cleared cache and uninstalled updates. My gut feeling is that it was a gallery update that broke it.

Well yeah that works but you're missing out on any of the latest features and rolled your gallery back to stock from March or April. There have been features added between then and now.. Such as the slider for uFocus

You're right. I'm new to this phone from the M7. I just switched carriers. I re-installed the gallery update and the Duo functions still work. I'm not sure what happened to my phone before then but it seems good now.
It's only a little over a week old.

Camera app recommendations?

Currently I am using the camera app provided by RR N but I am looking for an app that has some quick toggle options to choose between;
1. Normal photos
2. Normal video (configurable resolution somewhere in the options)
3. 720p 120fps video
So the less hassle the better when changing between these options. 1 to 2 and 2 to 1 are ofc standard part of every app but to quickly change from 2 to 3 or from 3 to 2 without going thru any settings would be great. while keeping the image quality as good as possible. I've now gone thru couple of apps without any luck; Snapit, Snapdragon camera, footej etc...
So, any recommendations?

You have to edit build.prop. Before you change the file, save it - just in case! It is located in the system directory. You need to be rooted and need an app like ES File Explorer.
Change:
ro.build.flavor=athene_retasia_ds-user
ro.build.product=athene_uds
ro.product.device=athene_uds
Save the changes and restart the phone.
Start the camera, tap in the bottom right corner the camera icon and voilà.
Kudos to pijes!

[APP] Modded Google Camera

After trying many versions from the main thread in op3 forum, I found a version that works best for the nextbit robin. Considering it's running on an 808, decent performance with HDR+ even in low light.
Credits to B-S-G at 4PDA for the mod.
Settings: screenshot
APK: mirror

can't seem to get the decryption key to work.

You probably copied it wrong. Blame xda for not allowing links to be posted. Excluding http prefix seems to work around it.

The version from this post seems to work as well on the latest LineageOS. The "Config camera HDR+" setting should be "Nexus6 (Max = High)".

Can the HDR+ parameter actually be set to High though? Several versions I tried could only do Medium. The version I posted came directly from the thread on 4PDA.

Yes, the "High" setting works in that build.

Works great so far on AOSPA. Thanks for sharing.

Does this camera have slow motion? I have been trying to find a camera that offers slow motion for the Nextbit Robin. So far I've been unsuccessful. Currently I am stock, but would be open to flashing something like RR or Lineage if its stable and I dont lose any functionality...i.e.. fingerprint reader and everything else works.

I haven't yet seen a version with working slow motion on the Robin. 60fps works, though.

The latest 5.1.016-based mod from B-S-G seems to work as well, using the "Nexus 6 Hdr+ Auto" setting. Unfortunately, I've had no luck getting any of the 5.1.018 versions working.

Can you please post a screenshot of your settings page? Thank you.
Any other setting you changed/tried that work well?

The settings I'm currently using are:
Code:
Model: Nexus 6P
Config camera HDR+: Nexus 6 Hdr+ Auto
HDR+ parameters: High
As I understand it, the "Model" selection tweaks certain algorithms that affect the final image, though I haven't seen any definitive explanation for that.
When installing updates to this app, it's often necessary to clear all data for it, or else it may crash.
EDIT: Oh yeah, running latest LOS.

Settings I was using
Mode : Pixel XL(corr)
HDR+ : Nexus 6 Hdr+ Auto
ROM : OmniROM
This was working fine for about 10-20 photos in 2-3 days. Until one day(yesterday) suddenly while taking a photo it crashed the app after clicking the image (image wasn't saved). And it kept doing it even after relaunching the app. Odd thing was the same thing kept happening on all camera apps. A reboot fixed it for other camera apps but didn't fix it for this app.

After the above happened I cleared the settings before uninstalling and reinstalled this app and used the settings you suggested. Now it doesn't crash but it won't finish the Processing HDR+ thing and never save the image
I have tried changing to various models. I guess I will have to try a few different versions with different settings.
Any suggestion as to how to make the process of finding the right setting & version by trying various versions quick and less time consuming?

Interesting. The crash you described sounds like a hardware or firmware issue. I've not used OmniROM, so I'm not sure what camera APIs they've implemented. I know that there was a period of time when LineageOS had a lot of camera API work done, so that may have affected overall app compatibility. Also, while I hate to suggest this, you might consider doing a factory reset via TWRP, because it sounds like something might have gotten into a bad state since reboots aren't helping.
The best way I've found to play around with the settings isn't particularly great. I pin the app to my home screen for easy access, and do the following:
Launch the Camera app, test it out
Make settings changes
Go back to the main camera screen
Kill the app by hitting the Overview (square) button and swiping it away
Go to step 1
Hope this helps!

I am not sure if its a firmware issue or not because after the reboot other camera apps work properly.
Ha! I guess there is no other good way to test it out.
btw were you able to get burst mode working? I never was able to get it working even when it was working.

I've never seen Burst mode work on the Robin.

I guess for burst mode I will have to go back to my usual camera app.

Anyone got this working on stock?

Nexus 6p would probably be a better choice for the config, it has a 64 bit snapdragon 810. Seems to capture faster than selecting the pixel 2 or nexus 6.
Although I took a comparison HDR shot between open camera (on camera2 API) and this modded camera, open camera had better HDR post processing and didnt take as long to apply the changes. Ill probably keep this modded camera for the panorama though.

The version that Arktronic posted (latest 5.1.016-based mod from B-S-G) works fine for me in stock 7.0 with the settings:
Code:
Model: Nexus 6P
Config camera HDR+: Nexus 6 Hdr+ Auto
HDR+ parameters: High
I have not tried to play with any other settings, nor tried it in stock 7.1.1.
