China 2.2 Rom missing some file for 720P
libOMX.TI.720P.Decoder.so and libOMX.TI.720P.Encoder.so
I attached files from Milestone 2:
Maybe sombody have an idea to get 720P on Defy

"The DEFY camera modules is able to do 720p. It's a MT9P012 according to the boot log.
Looking at the kernel sources on opensource.motorola.com (drivers/media/video/mt9p012.c), there is a FRAME_1296_30FPS mode supported which reads in a 1296x972 frame that would be cropped down to 1280x720. From the code it appears that those smaller modes are achieved by skipping pixels. This also explains why there is no 720x480 mode, just a 648x486 internal mode.
Ok, next looking at TI's OMAP3 literature, it says that it can do up to 720p HD.
So at the end of the day the DEFY *should* do 720p, and a 2.2 update *might* enable that.
I personally would be extatic to have 720p. The DEFY is really mindblowing as a allround device, where I can record videos on our weekly ski-trips, but 640x480 @30fps really, really sucks. 640x480 @60fps would be great, or 720p @30fps. Overall the camera/camcorder interface needs some substantial work. You cannot switch to a explicitie white balance (only auto), which is a pain if you record video where the lighting changes and the camera software tries to readjust the white balance. The other thing that drives me nuts is that you cannot adjust the image quality settings for the jpeg encode. "
humm i'll check it too

I found this in china 2.2 Rom.
/etc/cameraCalDef5M.bin and /etc/cameraCalDef8M.bin
Did Defy maybe have 8 MP Camera like Milestone XT720?
I renamed ...CalDef8M to CalDef5M and replaced the original 5M.bin
Camera is a bit faster.
I will search for a better camera app.

Are you sure that quality of photos is better now? Have you seen if the resolution is bigger(in details, after take a photo)?

Resolution is not bigger in default Camera.App But in my opinion cam is a bit faster.
I've taken 2 photo before and after renaming file, and i get the same photo, with same specification and resolution.
I've also tried with Pro Zoom Camera 5X and with Vignette, i get the same picture...
So i think we have "only" 5Mo in hardware...
Ok, it a 5MP Cam but 720p should possible.
Have a look to this page. (only google cache)

Good, there is still a chance we could get 720p camcorder at some point, since both 3630-800 and MT9P012 are capable of it.
wow seems amazing
Have you get it work?

Have no time more testing this.
Our Camera component can't take pictures biggers than 5M, in the other thread that tal about 720p we can found the URL of datasheet component. Here I will try to paste it (remmember, buy a beer to BizzaBoy! )
trulydisplays. com/ccm/specs/5.0M%20Sensor%20Aptina%20MT9P012%20Spec.pdf
As I wrote , Acer Liquid use the same camera (MT9P012).
But no 720p for liquid but I think Liquid Steam has same camera with 720p support.
Hope this one help..
Thank you for working for us
what's next? i mean, to get VGA @ 120FPS or HD working?
I think must be easy modify the Android Kernel to accept the 120FPS but will be more complicated hack the Camera.apk to add this feature.
I would start to hack for HD Video. Maybe will be complicated for the Kernel but easaly for the application.
i will donate, if this works good
Thanks for your job master!!! i love you!!!!!!!

Yes, acer liquid stream is able to record video at 720p...and if it has the same camera, is a good new for us

Hi all,
When using the leaked Gingerbread ROM, the camera and video app revert to the default Android one and we lose the LG camera / video app.
I don't really mind this except for the fact that having the video on 'High' uses the psuedo 1080 and is not nearly as smooth as the 720p recording on the Froyo ROM.. I saw the same issue with "1080p" on the Froyo ROM.
What I'd like to do is force it so that "High" is 720p.
Is there a hack that will let me set this permanently, or an app that will let me select this on the fly?
I'd much rather have smooth video at 720p than psuedo 1080p that's a little jittery.
Thanks so much for any information.
I found my own solution.
Download LgCameraPro from the market.
It's a camera and video camera replacement that has TONS of features and even allows you to set your own custom recording resolution, bitrate, framerate, etc..
GREAT app so far (although I've only been playing with it about 20 minutes).
I to have that app you speak of and I like the video camera but I dont like any of the Camera apps in the market they all shoot crappy pics the closest one to even the stock android app is called camera advance so right now I use the stock app for camera and LGcamerapro for the video mostly sometimes I just use the stock for video but I heard that it only shoots in 720p and not 1080p. I updated with the LG update as soon as it came out I mean hours after the release Someone said that the LG update lost 1080p video capabilities but the OTA got them back. So Again I am confused does my stock app shoot 1080p or 720p.
When i switch to video in the camera app the view is zoomed in compared to taking a photo. This is the minimum zoom level in the video mode but would be zoomed in a few times in photo mode.
Anyone else experiencing this and know how to fix it? I've had this issue with all the roms i've tried - ICS & GB.
It's really annoying having to stand far away from the thing I want to record

yeah in video mode the image is little bit zoomed ( i would say 2x max) but that will not cause any trouble at all you can still take videos of near objects with ease...
BTW if you want your video quality to be quadrupled try this mod...the video quality is amazing im taking videos of my niece and they are absolutely godly when compared to crappy stock video
try the mod if you have custom rom installed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1533238
It is very annoying and I find I have to move quite far back to record a video of something right infront of me, unlike just taking a photo.
Yeah i know about that mod and love it, it increased video & photo quality by 1000%
guys am not satisfied with the default camera app...the pics arent that clear ... tried some 3rd party apps like camera2,camera360 and ge camera apk..the pics are same..video recording isnt good ...so can someone name a few apps for replacing the def cam ?

Camera JB+ :good: Try it. A good app but paid.
Try switching on Image Stabilization and put the Focus Mode to Single Focus. This ought to remover blurriness to some extent.
If you're complaining about unclear detail when you zoom in the photo, then I believe you'll have to change the camera sensor, no app can help that
Suffering the same.
blurriness is not the problem to me. But the photos are extremely noisy and have pale colors with low contrast. In addition, the camera without HDR has a very low contrast ratio.
Sony should build in a Sigma X3F sensor. :laugh::laugh:
Hi guys,
I am using latest global stable rom (7.5.1) and i noticed something wrong with instagram. As you all know instagram released new update and you can use the instagram like @snapchat which you can upload your story. I liked the app. But the problem is when you upload a story you have to take a picture or record video inside of the application. When i try to do that simply the rear camera picture or video quality is amazingly poor.
Any other one faced the issue? And any solution you you can provide?
Btw I tried global developer rom latest version as well (6.7.29) which came back to same issue as well.
Waiting for your feedbacks. Thanks.
After few tries..
Well ok what i found out after few tries is quite funny and simple. The problem is not the camera drivers or device specs.
Instagram app is automatically selecting the lowest quality video recording option. What i am trying to say is; since rear camera has recording options ( sd, hd, full hd, 4k) the app is making the lowest quality selection by itself. When it comes to front camera since there is no option to choose the quality of front camera video recording then instgram takes the fixed one which is already full hd ( you can find video recording settings inside of camera app for both rear and front cameras) I believe this is done due to decrease the data consumption.
So now the case is if we can simply remove the option of 'SD Video Recording of the back camera' then we can post good quality videos on instagram
So if someone know, how the camera recording quality can be removed from the system please let me know
Thanks in advance
