[Dev] Improve cam video quality by etc/media_profiles ... is it possible?

Hi, I'm not sure about it but today I'm looking into this file
etc/media_profiles.xml
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
that includes (I think) settings for camera.
for example, from the xml
-<CamcorderProfiles cameraId="0"> -<EncoderProfile duration="60" fileFormat="mp4" quality="high"> <Video frameRate="30" height="720" width="1280" bitRate="10000000" codec="h264"/> <Audio bitRate="96000" codec="aac" channels="1" sampleRate="16000"/> </EncoderProfile> -<EncoderProfile duration="30" fileFormat="3gp" quality="low"> <Video frameRate="30" height="144" width="176" bitRate="256000" codec="h264"/> <Audio bitRate="12200" codec="amrnb" channels="1" sampleRate="8000"/> </EncoderProfile> <ImageEncoding quality="90"/> <ImageEncoding quality="80"/> <ImageEncoding quality="70"/> <ImageDecoding memCap="20000000"/> </CamcorderProfiles>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
as you can read, there are info about bitrate and image quality
Now, I saw that in Sensation mod, the developer had modded this file too, I think that we can improve easely the image quality and bitrate
is it true?
for example a possible mod
-<CamcorderProfiles cameraId="0"> -<EncoderProfile duration="60" fileFormat="mp4" quality="high"> <Video frameRate="30" height="720" width="1280" bitRate="15000000" codec="h264"/> <Audio bitRate="128000" codec="aac" channels="1" sampleRate="16000"/> </EncoderProfile> -<EncoderProfile duration="30" fileFormat="3gp" quality="low"> <Video frameRate="30" height="144" width="176" bitRate="256000" codec="h264"/> <Audio bitRate="12200" codec="amrnb" channels="1" sampleRate="8000"/> </EncoderProfile> <ImageEncoding quality="100"/> <ImageEncoding quality="100"/> <ImageEncoding quality="100"/> <ImageDecoding memCap="20000000"/> </CamcorderProfiles>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
has someone info about it?
EDIT It works !
ok guys
I recorded 2 videos, equal subject, equal light, equal time
with the following xml (bitrate video 12000000, bitrate audio 128000, image quality 100%) I can see the following differences
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The quality improve is visible easy.

If someone is interesting I can Upload My XML but you can make yourself our modded file (as you want) or you can use the cwm version by luise ...
edit final version (attached), video +50% size:
<CamcorderProfiles cameraId="0">

There is a second version that is 18000000 as video bitrate, 256000 audio bitrate and 96000 sample rate. Image Encoding quality 100 100 100. This isn't tested by me yet, I know (I tried) that Encoding quality always 100 works, but I don't know about bitrate...
Flash through ES File Manager (Root Mode + w) or other file manager like it...
EDIT UPDATE 2

Looks pretty good. Will test that later

Very interesting, but I can't test it. I'm on CM9

i did simple text editing and audio setting are exepted you can make them higher bit rate i mean,video resolution didnt change.

Testing right now... I did a flaseable zip so if anyone want to test it is easier for everybody..
I don't appreciate any difference, but I will make more photos. Thank u!

y, I think that to improve the video resolution we need edit the camera.apk, if it's possible... is it true?
Also, in this way we can't edit photos quality, for example with less jpeg compression...

Ok I'm testing my version edited (bitrate video 12000000, bitrate audio 128000, image quality 100%)
I recorded the same subject for same time, I saw that the output file with my mod is more big that the "original"
Now I want to check with PC the 2 sample videos
UPDATE FIRST POST!!!!! IT WORKS

I think it is for video and photos...
did u check this? http://code.google.com/p/aokp/issues/detail?id=240
EDIT: And this one... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1280558

UHM as u can read in first post, it works sure on video... on photos I don't know
I check your link (I'm started from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1533238 because I'm realy interesting to improve photos quality), we need to do more test on photos, but if is true... good
Anyway, set - 2 channel(stereo) like first link it's useless, because the mic inside the phone is mono, not stereo ...

It seems to work in photos too. I have the build.prop edited and with this the difference is huge. Will be working on this too. I would like to improve photos

good news, tomorrow, with sun light, I will make a photos with and without mod...
I will post some snap

Yes, this could be inlcuded in any custom ROM. You can look here and here for further inspiration. Also, this can be combined with the dark video fix.

That sounds probable. If you limit the framerate to a minimum of 30fps, the video can become very dark when there is not enough light. If you lower this limit to - say - 10 fps, the video will be brighter in low light, but it will be "laggy" and because each frame is exposed longer than at 30 fps, blur will be more likely. Both is inevitable, but in my opinion still better than a black video

yess, I think that it's true, like in photocamera with exposure. But this problem is present at lower resolution... there are a little difference @ 720p

best i could get,wondering if we can edit it to make video at higher fps or resolution(with editing camera.apk).

XDA_Bam where did u take those links from? Tomorrow will test both and try different combinations. Finally we could put together etc modifications + -15% battery mod + darkvideo mod and make a flaseable file

Mmmm do someone know if other users had improve the camera videorec resolution?
I think that 720p limit it's an hw limit, not software...

Soft keys

Does anyone know if it's possible to reorder the soft key layout? I came from a Galaxy S3, and I'm really use to my back button being on the right of the home button.
Thanks in advance!

Should be possible with root, but you'll have to mess with system files.

Wait for real custom Rom.

Yeah I'm coming from Samsung S2, Note 3 and want the buttons the same as that device
left to right (tap/hold)
menu
home/task list
back/kill app
I've got root, now I just need to know how to make the changes.
Must be pretty straight forward.
(yes I've side-graded to the N5 from the N9005. mum is on the on the Note 2 so giving my Note3 to her and I'll have the same device ans my girlfriend, converting her from iPhone3G to Nexus 5 )

It's very possible. There are some tutorials floating around you should be able to find as well as some apps or framework modules that might be able to do the same thing. Eventually there will be custom roms with this option baked in.

It's already in some of the ROMs. I have home to the left with voice search on long press, recent apps left center, quick settings right center with main settings on long press, back to the right with kill app on long press. So 4 keys and as I've come from a long line of galaxies myself the back button to the right was never in doubt when I was fiddling the layout. I'm using PSX which looks like it may be shut down but others have the functionality as well.

I use softkeyz app to change icons. But idk about changing the order. But why would you want to

because the back button should be on the right

It's an easy edit if you have the ability to de/recompile systemUI.
Navigate to SystemUI.apk\res\layout\navigation_bar.xml. I didn't like reaching over for the back button so all I did was flip recents and back. To do that all you need to do is reorder the lines in the xml.
Code:
<FrameLayout android:id="@id/rot0" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/nav_buttons" android:clipChildren="false" android:clipToPadding="false" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:animateLayoutChanges="true">
<View android:visibility="invisible" android:layout_width="40.0dip" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="0.0" />
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.KeyButtonView android:id="@id/recent_apps" android:layout_width="@dimen/navigation_key_width" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:src="@drawable/ic_sysbar_recent" android:layout_weight="0.0" android:contentDescription="@string/accessibility_recent" systemui:glowBackground="@drawable/ic_sysbar_highlight" />
<View android:visibility="invisible" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1.0" />
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.KeyButtonView android:id="@id/home" android:layout_width="@dimen/navigation_key_width" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:src="@drawable/ic_sysbar_home" android:layout_weight="0.0" android:contentDescription="@string/accessibility_home" systemui:keyCode="3" systemui:keyRepeat="false" systemui:glowBackground="@drawable/ic_sysbar_highlight" />
<View android:visibility="invisible" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1.0" />
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.KeyButtonView android:id="@id/back" android:layout_width="@dimen/navigation_key_width" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:src="@drawable/ic_sysbar_back" android:scaleType="center" android:layout_weight="0.0" android:contentDescription="@string/accessibility_back" systemui:keyCode="4" systemui:glowBackground="@drawable/ic_sysbar_highlight" />
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.KeyButtonView android:id="@id/menu" android:visibility="invisible" android:layout_width="@dimen/navigation_menu_key_width" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:src="@drawable/ic_sysbar_menu" android:layout_weight="0.0" android:contentDescription="@string/accessibility_menu" systemui:keyCode="82" systemui:glowBackground="@drawable/ic_sysbar_highlight" />
</LinearLayout>
The above code shows after the edit that gives me the order of (recents/home/back)
Code:
<FrameLayout android:id="@id/rot90" android:paddingTop="0.0dip" android:visibility="gone" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:id="@id/nav_buttons" android:clipChildren="false" android:clipToPadding="false" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:animateLayoutChanges="true">
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.KeyButtonView android:id="@id/menu" android:visibility="invisible" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="40.0dip" android:src="@drawable/ic_sysbar_menu_land" android:layout_weight="0.0" android:contentDescription="@string/accessibility_menu" systemui:keyCode="82" systemui:glowBackground="@drawable/ic_sysbar_highlight_land" />
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.KeyButtonView android:id="@id/back" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="80.0dip" android:src="@drawable/ic_sysbar_back_land" android:scaleType="center" android:layout_weight="0.0" android:contentDescription="@string/accessibility_back" systemui:keyCode="4" systemui:glowBackground="@drawable/ic_sysbar_highlight_land" />
<View android:visibility="invisible" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1.0" />
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.KeyButtonView android:id="@id/home" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="80.0dip" android:src="@drawable/ic_sysbar_home_land" android:layout_weight="0.0" android:contentDescription="@string/accessibility_home" systemui:keyCode="3" systemui:keyRepeat="false" systemui:glowBackground="@drawable/ic_sysbar_highlight_land" />
<View android:visibility="invisible" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1.0" />
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.KeyButtonView android:id="@id/recent_apps" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="80.0dip" android:src="@drawable/ic_sysbar_recent_land" android:layout_weight="0.0" android:contentDescription="@string/accessibility_recent" systemui:glowBackground="@drawable/ic_sysbar_highlight_land" />
<View android:visibility="invisible" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="40.0dip" android:layout_weight="0.0" />
</LinearLayout>
The above shows the same order edited to the "@id/rot90" grouping so that the same order is shown in landscape.

3Minit quicklaunch panel

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The quicklauncher panel:
It is simply a scrollable panel of app shortcuts that you instantly launch from your drop down panel. You can launch apps from inside other app without the need to exit to home screen first. You can also edit and order the shortcuts to suit your needs.
The idea:
When I started writing this mod I wanted to make it as easy to implement as possible which means no smali changes. I also wanted to make it universal for most android devices so thats what you get.
Implementation Guide:
This guide assumes you can already decompile and recompile an .apk correctly. If you cannot do this please don`t ask me how there are already lots of guides on how to do this here at XDA.
prerequisites:
A deodexed SystemUI.apk with a api level of 16 or higher
Knowledge of decompiling and recompiling the .apk.
These files: Download. MD5:fc5e7cd2c6192461e9ebca6661c70a49
Decompile the SystemUI.apk and navigate to smali/com/android/systemui/statusbar/policy
Copy the quicklaunch folder from the downloaded files and paste it into the above location
Navigate to res/layout and open status_bar_expanded.xml look for this line:
Code:
<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:id="@id/scrollCart" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
(Note this is based on TW stock files you may have to mess with the location in your file to find correct placemant)
Directly below that line add:
Code:
<HorizontalScrollView android:scrollbars="none" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.quicklaunch.QuickLaunchContainer android:gravity="center" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
</HorizontalScrollView>
Recompile and push to your device its done
Sharing policy:
You are free to bake this into your roms provided:
Proper credit and a link is given not just a mention in a random thread that will be lost in hours.
You use the mod as a whole and not take peices of my code and use elsewhere.
You leave the copyright information as it is.
You dont add you own settings to control the panel eliminating the need for donate app.
How to use:
To add a shortcut simply scroll all the way to the right and press the + symbol this will bring up a list of currently installed app to choose from click one to apply.
To change or remove a shortcut long press the icon and a menu will appear select the desired option by clicking it.
You can also get further functionality by getting the quicklauncher app from the Playstore for just $1. In this you can set colors, visibility of the panel and text etc and more.(Note I have just uploaded it so it may take a few hours to show.) This will support me and the development thanks.
Current 3Minit users will of course get this include in the current app for no charge.

Ultra Power Saving Mode Launcher.
This is NOT the real Samsung Galaxy S5 Ultra Power Saving Mode Launcher ( EmergencyLauncher)
Brief introduction
This launcher is made to mimick the Galaxy S5 EmergencyLauncher.
Ofcourse its a very early version on my side so its design isnt really 100% same as on S5 and not all features have been implemented yet.
Ram usage of this launcher was according to testers very low compared with other launchers. (very simple launcher)
The main features are:
Simple UI
Simple Clock
Simple Battery Percentage
Simple App Picker
and some extra features:
Themes.
Fullscreen or normal screen.
1,2 or 3 Grid.
[PowerSaving Options.

Please add any method to SORT the apps, otherwise the launcher is wonderful and due to less memory usage it is resource friendly also.

This app can be used for grayscaling
Edit: There is also Night Mode (To change display color) in Chainfire3d.(Though Not working for me)

[TUT]Make your own watchface

---Moved Here---​

You sir, are a legend.

I love you!!!
Thanks so much

Dumb question - after you run the Android application via Eclipse and it installs the APK onto the phone, how do you view the watchface? Should it show as a new watchface clock in the customise watchface editor?
Edit: Answered my own question - yes

Are you able to explain how to add a date to the analog clock (e.g. day of the month) and also maybe the month (e.g. Jul for July)
Thanks in advance!

Hi Naheel,
I've tried adding the date but without any luck. Nothing is showing up on the watchface. Do I have to add some other code to include the new XML as part of the build? Will the date show above the watch background image or is there the chance that it is on the bottom layer? Also I'm guessing that the text will be white as per the sample code you posted. Any help is appreciated!

Thanks mate! I'll give it a go!
EDIT: Awesome it works!! Thanks once again! Time to update my watchfaces to include dates

I'm glad, Great work

I've been busy making new analog watchfaces and figured out how to offset the dials. Edit the code within \res\layout\clock_widget_analog.xml
How to offset dials
As an example the following code will use a square second hands PNG file, resize it to 45x45px and offset it 82px from the top and 70px from the left. It will continue to rotate around the centre of the PNG file (i.e. around pixel x=23,y=23)
Code:
<include layout="@layout/analog_clock_hand_seconds"
android:gravity="left"
android:layout_marginTop="82px"
android:layout_marginLeft="70px"
android:layout_width="45px"
android:layout_height="45px"
/>

also you can do that on the "analog_clock_hand_seconds.xml" it self.

Hi Naheel,
I've found a slight bug in the 'date' code you've shared. It cuts off the second digit for double-digit dates for some reason. For the moment I've only found an inelegant hackers way to fix the problem so I won't share my solution. Not sure if you have a better way of fixing it?
Cheers,
Julian

this happen cuz you must add this:
Code:
widgets:template="dd"
and that cause the bug on some devices of showing "00" instead of the real date
also I have another way that I'll try:
Code:
<com.sonyericsson.extras.liveware.aef.widget.TimeLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center" >
<com.sonyericsson.extras.liveware.aef.widget.TimeView
android:layout_width="25px"
android:layout_height="20px"
android:gravity="center"
android:includeFontPadding="false"
android:textColor="@android:color/black"
widgets:textSize="20px"
widgets:timeType="[COLOR="Red"]days_of_month_digit1[/COLOR]" />
<com.sonyericsson.extras.liveware.aef.widget.TimeView
android:layout_width="25px"
android:layout_height="20px"
android:gravity="center"
android:includeFontPadding="false"
android:textColor="@android:color/black"
widgets:textSize="20px"
widgets:timeType="[COLOR="Red"]days_of_month_digit2[/COLOR]" />
</com.sonyericsson.extras.liveware.aef.widget.TimeLayout>

Great tutorial .
Has anyone tried to create a watchface using a string level-list? The Sony clock tutorial implies you can create a levelist a little like:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- Defines the most significant minute number using a level-list of drawables
that can be referenced when creating clocks. -->
<level-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:string="@string/min_digit_0" />
...
</level-list>
However, Eclipse will throw an error with the use of "android:string". I have tried saving the above XML in the drawable-nodpi folder and had added the appropriate string entries in the strings.xml file.
Any ideas?

Again many thanks for your detailed tutorial, Naheel!
Here is my cyan watchface (2 included)
edit: updated apk to Naheels slim version, thanks :good:

Thanks for testing, could you try the updated apk?
edit: I removed the sonymobile example watchface, added a cyan variation without date

Updated apk is fine, thank you

I tried to make this in drawable:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- Defines the least significant hour number using a level-list of drawables
that can be referenced when creating clocks. -->
<level-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:text="one" android:textSize="20px" />
<item android:text="two" android:textSize="20px" />
<item android:text="three" android:textSize="20px" />
<item android:text="four" android:textSize="20px" />
<item android:text="five" android:textSize="20px" />
<item android:text="six" android:textSize="20px" />
<item android:text="seven" android:textSize="20px" />
<item android:text="eight" android:textSize="20px" />
<item android:text="nine" android:textSize="20px" />
<item android:text="ten" android:textSize="20px" />
<item android:text="eleven" android:textSize="20px" />
<item android:text="twelve" android:textSize="20px" />
</level-list>
that had to be the hours but it didn't worked on the watch.
however, you can write what ever you want on png files and use it as a level list
