I have been reading up on the 2.o set up, and I like a few of the upcoming capabilities, however, I notice they are still over looking such simple things that are huge issues in my eyes to this phone. Why in the sam hill have they not made one stride toward improving the ridiculous photo gallery? Make it simple, make a folder, move your pics around and rename them, using a file manager, as much as I love the more recent astro, all of them creat two, three, and even four copies of pictures, and add more copies everytime the phone is rebooted. This should just be an option in the gallery itself. Also, if anyone else is like me, you may have pics of your children, family, hell even a pet or two, and then in the next folder, ya might have some nudies, why can't the folders be a simple look as opposed to showing the first four pics in the folder right there for the world to see. Also, noticed no change to the music player, altho its a decent set up now, everything is advancing so much, yet the music stays in limbo. There still isn't a stop button, and you still need to kill the task to get it to actually stop. Playlist creating from the phone itself is such a pain, there should be a split screen so you can see the items you are putting in there. Texting still doesn't have a save to sd feature, and why? I actually need to go to sms backup and save em to my gmail? I guess I just don't understand why so many simplistic issues are over looked, but don't get me wrong, all the updates and changes that have come along are an amazing step everytime, guess I'm just kind of rambling, my appologies.
Following on from another thread where people were asking about availability of apps to start a looping video recording app, I've started work on this, and have made some promising initial progress.
I'm having to do this with Mortscript since the only language I can code in is not suitable for writing phone/pc apps sadly, but so far it looks to be quite suitable.
If you're interested in this I'm afraid you'll have to be quite patient as I can't promise it will be complete by any date and I might even fail to complete it, but I'm posting up now because I believe that it's still useful at its current state.
Basically what the code does at the moment is as follows:
Tells you how much memory is spare on your SDcard
Asks you what you want the minimum remaining memory (in MB, ie when your remaining memory reaches a certain point the script stops recording)
Opens the camera in video mode
Begins recording
Once recording, the remaining memory is checked every 5 seconds
When the remaining memory dips below the amount you specified the recording stops, the camera turns off, and a message confirming remaining memory is displayed.
If you add the script to the appropriate start menu folder then you can add it as a home screen shortcut like any other app, so that just one touch will fire it up.
At present I have not started working on the actual looping functionality of the video, so it records until it reaches the memory limit you specify, or until you stop it manually, but I think this is still useful.
Now for the 'funny' important stuff:
Please understand this code comes with absolutely no promises/guarantees etc - if you choose to use it, you do so entirely at your own risk and I am not responsible for any outcome of doing so. I've run it several times and it has worked well for me, but there's no guarantee that it will behave the same for others.
I'm not going to be answering questions about the most basic stuff in relation to Mortscript. Please read up on the basics of what it is and what it does, and how you implement it before using this script. It's nothing personal, just that my free time is extremely limited so I can't afford to spend it answering potentially lazy questions.
Do as you wish with the script if you want to modify it and improve it, or just tailor it to your own needs. For instance, you may wish to do away with the question about minimum remaining memory and set a fixed amount so the recording begins from just one shortcut press. I've set it like that really for ease of testing but it may be handy for people who want to keep a certain amount of their card empty.
You may have to change minor bits of this script to make it work for you. Main example I can think of is depending on where the default location is for video recording files on YOUR phone (ie storage or card - it should be card for this script to work), and also the name of your card. On mine the card is called "Storage Card" - yours may be different and would therefore affect the script.
Other stuff I've not thought of yet but that people might whinge about.
In a nutshell though, I hope some of you find this useful, and at some point hopefully in the not too distant future this might be a bit more automated and do exactly as some of us wanted on the other threads about looping video.
If others want to use this as a base and finish the job I'm not going to be upset shall we say.
Script in post #2
Either download the zip file, unzip and place the script in an appropriate folder on your memory card, or copy this script code into a notepad file & save it, then change the files extension from .txt to .mscr & place it where it needs to live.

Code:
Free1 = FreeDiskSpace( "\Storage Card")

This is interesting, will try after I read up on mortscript. One thing cought my eye, it seems with mortscript you are able to do software clicks on the screen (#to do - start
recording again:
#mouseclick(240, 700)
Would this mean we could have a way to asign a hardware key to take pictures in camera mode? I know this has nothing to do with your app, it just came to my mind after seeing your code. It would be nice to have a hardware key to take pictures with our HD2's.
Anyway I will be following your thread for updates on loop recording. Thanks for your work here.
Thanks for your comments mate.
I'm not sure about the hardware button in camera mode. It might be possible but I'm only a novice at Mortscript myself so I don't actually know. I would guess that if MS is capable of registering the activation of hardware buttons and distinguishing between them, then it should be possible but don't quote me!
A script to do that would I think have to effectively listen for the camera being activated, then once it is launched, listen for hardware key presses from a specified key which would in turn trigger the on screen mouseclick command.
Something for another thread I think but an interesting idea anyway. If you search through the mortscript examples thread (approx 70 pages!) you might find something that helps.
After a quick look at the manual this morning I think it's going to take me a little while to figure out how to delete the last created file in the DCIM folder, but once I have it sorted I will post up the amendments.
Run into a problem tonight with timestamps.
The time a file was recorded is showing up exactly 1 hour wrong from when it actually was made, so I have to try and figure this out. It's not the phone clock since the timestamp for the current time is spot on.
Go figure!
Thanks for posting updates for us. Hope you will find a solution, could it have something to do with summer/winter time? Or with local time? Don't know for sure of course, just trying to help.
I think there's a very good chance that's what it's linked to yes, but no idea how to get around it.
The dates where the clocks move forwards/back are not the same each year, so I can't hardcode it in. If there's a way I can get the script to check whether the phone's clock is using GMT or BST then that would likely solve it but I've no idea if that's possible.
Have raised a thread elsewhere to ask for help but no luck so far.
Well - I'm going to be struggling with this a bit guys.
I've not had any replies to the thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=690134) asking about this time difference (I'm wondering if I have posted in the wrong subforum perhaps?) so I'm not really going to be able to get past the issue anytime soon. Kind of scuppers the project until I can work around that.
There is another way potentially of finding the correct file to delete, which would be to go through the mp4 files in the video folder, and create a list of them, sort it by time created, then delete the latest one.
But I don't know how to do that and there isn't any useful info that I can see in the Mortscript manual about sorting data, or even creating simple lists of data objects (unless this is the 'array' functionality?).
So I'm a little bit stuck sorry.
Hello everyone,
I am new to this forum. I decided to register here after I completed my android project.
I created a program that can detect movements and save pictures of the moving objects. Phone has to remain static in order to work properly. The program also features separate address book. Address book keeps phone numbers for SMS notification. In order to activate that you have to create a new contact then long press the item in the list. The program creates folder on memory card where it saves the pictures. The speed is very high on Galaxy S. You can throw something fast and phone still snaps the flying object if it passes by the camera.
The program has many settings that can dramatically alter the performance. Settings have to be adjusted in accordance with the lighting conditions.
I tested app only on 2.2 Vibrant. I am really curious to see how it works on other 2.2 devices.
ARMv7 processor is a must!!
Please give me some feedback!
App is called Motion Recorder
this sounds like a great app. gonna try it now on my incredible.
My app MobileWebCam also does this (simpler detection algorithm I suppose) and can automatically save, upload the pictures or send email:
Development Thread is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=950933
Are you interested in sharing your motion detection code? Possibly we could combine functionality of both apps?
dirtsky, If you have any questions or if you find any bugs please write in this thread.
The program is little hard to use so feel free to ask.

My motion detection is three steps: Image is converted to grey, then I max every pixel with the ones around to remove the flickering pixels (especially needed for night/low contrast situations) and calc the difference between the last and this new pixels. Some magic value (which should better be configurable later decides about the motion. Problem is this is very slow (should use the ndk but only began working with it recently) so I have to scale down the image before which is bad for small/distant moving objects.
Email: Is not sent with Android/Intent. I use JavaMail. I had some difficulties with the libs but got it working somehow (and even more difficulties with proguard which I needed because file size is getting too large without using it).
_miha_, did you test my app? How does it stack up against yours in terms of performance?
I cant seem to find where the images are being saved on my SDcard. Epic 4G Froyo ec05 midNight Rom
I looked for the folder "Motion Recorder" and i dont see it. and theres nothing in the Gallery
zman519, since your device is basically Galaxy S type it will save in internal memory(aka 14 GB "SD card").
Please let me know if you find the folder there.
I have total 105 installs out which 35 are active. Is it considered as bad result?
UPDATE: 59 active installs out of 109 which makes it >50%. Is it good?

The Epic does not have an internal sdcard. That must be the problem. I looked around with root explorer and did not see the folder.
Sent from the Drivers Seat of my Suby txting and Driving doing 100MPH+ in a school zone! Ha.
zman519, thank you for feedback, I will fix that and let you know once the update is ready. It should not take more than half an hour.
Question to developers:
My program saves pictures to the following path:
String path = "/sdcard/Motion Recorder/TakenOn" +...
Why does it not automatically save to external sd card in the case when there is no internal sd?
UPDATE. I figured out myself. Working on update that allows user to choose between internal and external memory.
Hello dev,
I tried it on my DHD - it crashes and don't save settings.
I just updated to v0.42 which adds support for the external storage. Just go to settings and tap the checkbox. Unfortunately I have not tested the new feature on the actual hardware because I do not have one at the moment. So please, those of you who can test it please let me know if it does not work.
drast-x, Thank you for the feedback. Please give me some more details. When does it crash? After you hit the start? When you hit the start do you get the preview from the camera? Unfortunately settings do not save after the exit except contacts...
Did it happen on:Jun 11, 2011 9:32:07 PM ? I ask you this because Developer console shows me one crash that occurred at that time:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Fail to connect to camera service
at android.hardware.Camera.native_setup(Native Method)
at android.hardware.Camera.<init>(Camera.java:294)
at android.hardware.Camera.open(Camera.java:271)
Does saving pictures work on any of the phones except Epic 4g?
Thank you
I updated to v0.45
Now settings will save. Motion Recorder 0.45
Many thanks to the user of my app who sent this feedback:
"force close when start button clicked in nexus".
It turns out Nexus One (or S?) does not support either VGA or QVGA preview frames. So I had to fix this issue by requesting the supported resolutions. Very surprised by this issue. I expected that Android OS would figure this out on its own...
Thus new version 0.45.5 is supposed to fix the issue. I do not have Nexus One so I am not 100% about the fix. Those of you who are reading this and have Nexus One, please try new version!
Thank you!
Have you tried first reducing your image resolution to something ridiculously small like 32x32 and apply a DCT to keep only the low frequencies?
This might offer much better performance.
You can perform very good

Hello people,
After developing a piece of simple Dashcam software Dashcam video merge program. I had a thought.
Gee, wouldn't it be great if I could automatically group contiguous files, so that the output would be "A Trip from Point A to Point B"
Dummy, what a rabbit hole I went down.
So each file is named like this ch0_20220918025848_20220918030347.mp4
Channel, Start time including year month day hour minute second, and End time including the same info.Well, like an insane person I split out each hour minute second bit of info into an array in python, and exported into excel to have a look.
On a positive note, I can confirm that the time stamps DO align with the duration of the video file.
But the gaps between are another matter. If you have a look at this excel file (if you're crazy too), you will see what I mean.
Recording Time and Discrepancies.xls
I have worked out two things.
The early files behave the best with consistent gaps of around 0-1 seonds, but after about 76 five minute video are recorded this seems to blow out to 3-11 seconds
By about 230 five minute video files, this DVR really losses it's sh!t
For example:
ch0_20220917103142_20220917103642.mp4ch0202291710314220229171036420:05:001:37:077-23ch0_20220917103238_20220917103736.mp4ch0202291710323820229171037360:04:58###########-4-4
Yes, the second file finished after the previous, and they are both about 5 minutes long, but the second started 4 minutes and 4 seconds before the previous one finished. OMG.. Rabbit hole
THOUGHTS
A day of five minutes videos would be 288 files.
But my maximum for a daily long distance trip is usually 14 hours, which is 168 files.
I can't increase the five minute length as the options are 1,3,5.
So the only thing I can think of is testing a faster micro SD Card.
The one I am using is Sandisk High Endurance microSDXC Card, SQQNR 128G, UHS-I, C10, U3, V30, 100MB/s R, 40MB/s W, SD adaptor, 2Y, White (SDSQQNR-128G-G)
And that should be perfect for it.
Any thoughts?
Try dashcam viewer to see how/if it handles your files. Not sure if it's compatible with the unit you're using:
Dashcam Viewer | Unleash Your Dashcam’s Full Potential
Dashcam Viewer is powerful, state-of-the-art software with unique and functional features that will unleash your dashcam’s full potential.
dashcamviewer.com
There's a free version that works with 2 videos instead of the 600 or 1200 handled by paid versions.
From what I remember, the developer is quite responsive and adds new devices often.

Tried it.
Flashy, but doesn't have more functionality I could use than what I developed in 3 days in my spare time.
I am not going to spend $55 to be able to do what my python code does already.
T'eyes DVR does not have any GPS tracking or other info.
And, if you want to view your dashcam files, use VLC.. It can play all of them for free, not just two.
You have convinced me to keep developing it though. GUI version coming for free in three months.

Sorry: long answer.
I have seen this before on my own dashcam. When you switch of contact, it might very well be that your sd-card is not correctly unmounted. Maybe it was writing the video to sd-card when you switched off the car and thereby "broke" the file and thereby the file system. This causes errors on your SD-card. I have learned to "checkdisk" (to use the windows equivalent) my SD-card once a week.
You might think that if you set your car to deep-sleep, not to choose 30 seconds or so, but take a longer period to make sure your dashcam can still finish writing. This will not work as your dascam will keep recording (and possibly writing) as long as it gets power, no matter whether you are in the garage or not. So this corruption will still happen if it is caught on the wrong moment when writing to sd-card.
Writing "around" these errors takes time. It might restarting writing to be able to save a good file.
Note also that these SD-cards are FAT32. In earlier days we needed to "defragment" hard disks. NTFS, HFS+, EXT2/3/4 and other modern systems do that automatically. FAT32 doesn't. Make sure your SD-card doesn't get too full.
Or better: use two SD-cards. That's what I did. Take one out after a trip and put another in. Check your taken out sd-card, rip it, correct it, etcetera.
Speed of your SD-card: It doesn't have to be the highest speed for video. Read some photo/video sites. The highest quality 4K videos do need up to 100Mbits. Your 1920x1080 or 1280-x720 dashcam are at much lower Mbits/second (check with ffprobe or ffmpeg -i "file")
Super high speed SD-cards are for burst-mode photography at 10-30 images per second, each 10-30 MB big (still using memory to save to and then write to sd-card; one of my other hobbies).
Secondly: It might also be that the CPU has trouble keeping up with the video capture and immediate encoding of the mp4. Those "cheap as possible" Chinese dashcams only have the lowest spec CPU's inside.

All good ideas as usual, I'll implement as soon as i can.
Because of mastrv's suggestion I checked the MP4 output of both the T'eyes DVR and the CamRec rearview camera.
This is going to shock you. Neither file from either software has any embedded data like GPS in it. No, separate GPS.
Though the CamRec software does put a GPS position overlay on the recording. (Feels like hard-coded subtitles)
I wonder if there is a lightweight GPS logging app I could put on the Head Unit. Could be a future improvement to my video merging app.

Sorry, but I am not shocked. I knew this already for many years, already since the Sofia 3GR when Joying and a few others started selling FYT units with accompanying dashcams. T'eyes did not even exist yet.
That's why idroid at that time (2016?) created a raspberry pi solution in combination with the FYT unit, which could handle two cameras and would write GPS info as well. And it had a better mechanism to write to sd-card to prevent these SD-card corruption (not 100%, but much better).
Or one could simply buy a not so cheap external dashcam that does have builtin gps and builtin colision detection.
That's also why I wrote "I have seen this before on my own dashcam". I don't use the FYT or alike dashcams anymore. They are cheap, but you get what you pay for.
Edit: it is not that they are all bad, but they are not so good. There are several light-weight GPS trackers, but at that time I used OsmAnd for navigation which can automatically track. And used exiftool to geotag them (by the way: did you ever heard of jExifToolGUI? )

Sounds like something I'd do as far as trying to set it up for "video trip bundles" That Is a great feature to have. I Have a knockoff ATOTO dashcam that works fantastic for the $12 I paid for it with the app that came with it but just wish itI would use the factory dashcam app. Using a 64Gb Samsung Micro Sd

Yeah, it's definately something I will add, but I'll have to add a user selectable "fudge" factor to link files.
e.g. Dashcam_Stitcher E 100 25
E - drive where micro SD is
100 - The speed up factor for final file
25 - The overlap/gap in seconds allowed to work out contiguous or not. Default of 10 would cover most of my anomalies.
Just working out an elegant (and readable) piece of code (algorithm) will be the trouble.
I think I've found my part time hobby while summer hits hard in the whitsundays.

Just thinking, maybe wrong. Assuming that there are hours or maybe even days between one trip and the next.
You are already name-sorting(=date-sorting) your mp4s. Wouldn't it be easier not to search for the small differences between files (like 10-25 seconds), but simply only for the big difference (>=1 hour?) between one file and the next?
And even in that case: If you drive one of your 14 hours drives (man, that's long) with two or more 30 minutes or longer stops in between, and you might end up with 3 video files, you can easily concat those again with ffmpeg.

My dashcam stays on when the car is shut off and will detect and save collision detection while car is parked. So don't think thats the issue I would have, BUT I totally agree on the slow CPU comment. That is probably what is causing the issue mjcummins is having. mjcummins have you tried having it seperate the "trip" mp4's in a for example (30min ea) Folder to see if it helps prevent this lag? May not help but it's a thought.

Longer file size isn't an option. 5 minutes is maximum in my software. Yeah, good idea; I had it too

I realized that, I was talking about putting the 5 min mp4's in a seperate folder every 30 min.
If your issue is caused by CPU lag you might want to make the files 3min not 5.

Ah, I will investigate the potential of that idea.
Got these questions if anyone can answer or even facing themselves please
Slow in loading the gallery - scrolling through the list and the pictures load pixellated and take some time to load and sometimes the thumbnails wont even come up
Edited a video of 39 secs (90mb) to 14 secs (108mb) - WTF?? I took a video with P7P which was 39 seconds and the size was 90MB. Then I edited the video cut it to 14 seconds and now the size of the video shows up as 108MB
Sometimes the double tap to wake doesn’t work
Video - zoom switching is laggy [This is known issue across the OEM]
Call quality is weird and screwed up for half of the calls I am making
Battery is not that great (How to check SOT?)
Inability to organise apps into folders in the Apps screen. OR to sort them etc: I miss this on Samsung devices etc, cant even sort them.....WHYYY?
Sometimes when I press TALK button on my Subaru and ask “Call a person” it doesn’t work - Android auto is really finicky
Gallery/Photos app: So I organise photos into folders. And I moved my photos from one device to P7P and I put all the folders into the DCIM folder. Now when I open the Photos app all these photos are shown under Camera
And maybe my issue...?
Issue with Material You color setting?
There is someting weird with my color settings. As we know, in Android 13, the system will pick color-sets automatically when you changed background image. I find that if i pick color-sets by myself, not the system selected color-set, when the...

Are you running the stable Android 13 or the QPR beta ? The latter solved many of the mentionned bugs.

You need to create a folder outside of DCIM for them to show as individual folders in the gallery.

Oh yeah thought of that too! But I got like 20 folders lol, I know I wont often look at the "Files" but yeah something to try. Also there is a folder called PICTURES and my folders were there before and I moved them to DCIM because when I am trying to share something to Instagram I cant see those folders on the IG app. That was the main reason behind the idea to move these folders into DCIM.
But I will try and move these folders outside of DCIM (but wont put them inside Pictures folder). Thanks mate!

Aah its still the same! Anyway I just moved everything back to Pictures folder anyway. Also I am on the latest Beta build and still got these errors related to editing a video (rotating and saving a video errors out) and Gallery loading etc. Sometimes the thumbnails wont even show up

It's not present in my case - (QPR 3.1 November). My it's the issue with mixed pictures from your own reposity and Google Photos / taken pictures by 7Pro?

No idea - maybe it's trying to save in better quality that it already is?

Got similar problem - especially when Face Unlock with option to skip lockscreen is enabled.
Video - zoom switching is laggy [This is known issue across the OEM]
Still present in 3.1 in my case
Call quality is weird and screwed up for half of the calls I am making
Can't complain. Mine are loud and clear - even with loud speaker.
Battery is not that great (How to check SOT?)
It's been good for me - 8,5 hrs SOT with approx. 35-40 hrs of standby. Both on stable 13 and QPR (2, 3 and now on 3,1 looks similar)
Inability to organise apps into folders in the Apps screen. OR to sort them etc: I miss this on Samsung devices etc, cant even sort them.....WHYYY?
I don't use folders, but agree - pixel launcher is ****ty as f*ck. I use Nova Launcher most of the time - folders do work there.

No opinion.

Why not backed up in Google Photos cloud? It works great for me - sync between devices, web etc.
after the last update (today 8november) i noticed something that could be a new bug (i hope): in the stock camera app i use the level to measure the tilt. it worked great but after the update that level is tilted about 3-4°: i.e. i was taking a photo of the horizon on the sea (leveled through the grid) and the level measure 3 or 4° of tilt
I probably have nowhere near the amount of photos as you, and based on what I read, I'm guessing they're local photos, but the gallery thing could be solved by just getting a new gallery app rather than Photos. QuickPic was the go-to back in the day before they sold to another company. When that happened, I found Piktures to be a fast and pretty alternative. There might've also been a modded QuickPic app on XDA. Not sure on that since I just use Photos.
Battery and call quality, I can't complain. Battery is all dependent on the user, so there's always that.

Now this here works flawlessly with out a case, but I found it easier to double tap near the camera bar. It seems to activate more when it's up higher.

Thanks for the reply mate
Yeah My gallery consists of photos taken by Samsung, Apple and this phone too. Even in the beta its all pixellated.
Also I found another issue with IG app when I am trying to upload videos to my feed. Selecting multiple photos option and selecting pictures works fine, but videos wont get selected. These videos are taken through the phone too. Support team says to update the app but still the same. Cleared cache, re-installed and done everything, but still the same.

Yeah I am thinking to root the phone soon. But a little bit worried about all these cyber attacks happening in Australia now. But Ill try the 3rd party apps, obvio I prefer if the native app has that option but cant do anything now
