Hi there,
here's my patched media_profiles.xml which improves your LG 3D video&audio recording quality.
The sound is significant improvement, i was sick of that "crispy" noise. After trying this patch you'd hear the sound is more natural.
You only need to apply these settings (replace the file in your system).
No need for additional patches or extra camera apps!
For recording on SD I recomend to use Class 6 or better, but i've made some tests on Class 4 with pretty good results as well.
That this improves:
2D and 3D video bitrate to 15Mbps
Video sound to 48kHz at 256kbps
What do I need
Your rooted LG Optimus 3D
Any file manager (eg. Root Explorer)
Download my file mediaprofiles.zip (see link below)
How do I install it
Root your phone (if not already done)
Download the file mediaprofiles.zip
Extract the media_profiles.xml from the Zip to the SD card of your phone
In your phone file manager:
go to system/etc and make a backup of your media_profiles.xml (eg rename it)
copy or move the new media_profiles.xml (the downloaded) to system/etc
Reboot your phone
Enjoy improved video & sound quality
Note that some players may still report the sound is only LQ at 24KHz 64kbps but just try it, you'll hear the difference very well
BUGS
Front camera is not recording
Camera app may crash when saving video - however video should be saved correctly.
... will try to get this fixed asap ...

Thank you so much,great job
15mb are for 720p or 1080p in 2d?
thanks so much
great mod =))
Seems to be working fine. Video is crisper in high detail areas and the bitrate in my sample video increased from 8 Mbit/s to about 12 or 13 Mbit/s.
Some weird behavior though: After I've shot a video (when I tap the Stop button) I get booted to the home screen instead of remaining in the Camera application. The video itself is fine though, no corruption or anything, but it's a bit of an annoyance to get booted.
Hi,
the bug with front camera seems to be fixed,
also the crashing camera app when saving the video seems to be fixed.
I'll make some tests and if this will work fine I will post the updated MOD asap....
I m using root explorer and i can't replace the mod file, i have read only message

Had the same Problem. Had to deinstall Root explorer and update to the latest Version it worked then.
Ok it works, i had to set r/w
P. S. But 3D recording dont work for me
P.p. S after recorded 2 1080p video, the camera stop working
New MOD attached.
This is 2D/3D video still at 13-15Mbps
Bugs fixed:
Front camera working (with its default LQ settings)
Original Camera app is no longer crashing after saving the video
New bug:
Sound quality is normal - default, no improvement.
Will try to fix this asap.....
3d recording is working now?
its working on the two phones i got. feel free to test on yours. thanx.
it works now
waiting for audio improved,and higher bitrate for 1080p,like 20Mb/s
how can i/we support your work?have u got any paypal account?
everything stable ?
Yep Thanks to the dev
nice il try it
wont install
Great work, actually the audio quality was the most thing annnoying me with this phone.
Waiting for it ti install.

Check the original media profiles, then check my media profiles and you see the diference, and then check my media profiles with the media profiles of this mod.. the same, just edited the bitrate...
And 1 more thing about the "audio" tweak... Be carefull with that, because some phones cant handle it for any reason, and the recording will crash soon as the phone "exceed" the limit.
may sound strange, but can we have a "compromise" version?
I would love this as the macroblocking on 3D is obvious on my big TV, but my SD card isn't that fast, any chance of an 8mbps version? (for 3D, double the bitrate of stock but not so high it needs an expensive SD card)

I think you should buy a class 6 sd card, or save the camera files into internal memory.. These mods are made for the best results as we can

Download the file, extract it. move the extracted file to sd card.
from phone: using root explorer, locate extracted file, move it to system/app, you will get a warning message saying camera.apk already exists are you sure you want to overwrite it?
click ok
long press on camera.apk and change permissions accordingly.

I can't play the file on Windows 7. I have tried with many third party .3gp apps. But it didn't success. So which software do I have to play on PC.
And what about photo improvement as you did great job with the 2.1 one??? When could we be able to adjust exposure, X10 has quite big problem to take good photos without exposure adjusting during photo shooting...

MMS settings
Hi ... as for 2.1 camera excellente job .... I can cleary see the improvement
As usual to change the audio may be dangerous for shyncronisation
One think I observed and I would like to suggest is concerning the MMS settings
Currently the format is 3gp but with size 640 by 480 ......
Trying differente sizes ... produce reboot when playing the video
Because of these settings the video length pemitted within the 300k standard is just 7-8 sec istead of the almost 30 sec permited with 320 by 240 or by using QIF smaller sizes......
What I wonder is if it would be possible to set the MMS video on 3gp but with smaller size or if it is available a tool (like the one used in the last 2.1) able to resize the mms video
Thanks
Is this the same Camera app that Wolfbreak has included as an update to his CM 6.1.3 v4.4?
If so then can you optimize the 720p quality please, since I get audio delays and the recorded videos also have lags in them. The 720p can be enabled by just clicking 'Custom' in the quality settings and although you see green lines and distorted images on screen, the camera app actually records in 720p
If you can fix the audio and video issues, this will be the final answer to _ALL_ of our camcorder woes
Camera uninstalled by mistake..
Any ideas on how to install the new or get the old one back on CM 6.1.3 v4.4. Should have just replaced the camera.apk but instead I uninstalled.
Update: Used flashtool to install camera.apk from Rendeiro. Thanks to him.
Install the codec from here...

BEFORE YOU READ ANY FURTHER, THIS MOD/PORT (WHATEVER) WILL PROPABLY ONLY WORK ON RED LENSED DEFYS! SORRY BUT IT SEEMS TO BE A HARDWARE THING! AND THERE ALSO MIGHT BE THE SLIGHT POSSIBILITY THAT IT IS LIMITED TO 3.4.2_145-003 VERSION ONLY! (AT LEAST THIS IS THE VERSION HANCOCKS ROM IS BASED ON AND THE SAME I TESTED IT WITH)
to make it short, i (kind of) ported the 720p recording capability of hankocks rom 1.11 to pays rom 3.3 (based on 3.4.2_145-003).
first of all, I AM NO DEVELOPER! so all props go to hankock! what i did was the following:
i took all the libs from hancocks rom which had something to do with camera & encoding (as you can see, not a very devlike procedure) and put them into my system/libs. then i took media_profiles.xml from hancocks rom and put it to my system/etc (of course i changed back permissions afterwards). first i used hancocks patched stock camera app and merged my and his build.prop so that the whole thing would run on my rom. and it worked perfectly. but this solution has 2 drawbacks:
1. hancock used 3gpp container, which is imho inferior to mp4
2. the audio encoding is very bad (amr_nb, 8kbps)
then i found out, that if i used lgcamera instead i would't need to change build.prop anymore and it still worked fine. besides of that, lgcamera is much more customizable settingwise. and by not modifying build.prop, i hope to enhance compatibility of this mod to other froyo versions.
and that is what my package contains:
-all libs with "enc", "cam", "camera" in therr names from hancocks rom (i know, i'm an amateur )
-media_profiles.xml from hancocks rom
-lgcamera 5.25 (free) btw. it works with the latest pro version from the market too
please use tenfars clockwork mod or other custom recovery to flash this update.zip. the built in original recovery won't work (doesn't accept signature). BEFORE YOU START, DON'T FORGET TO MAKE A NADROID BACKUP!!!
here you find an untouched video sample: http://forum.kut-btu.de/video/VIDEO00017.mp4
([email protected],8fps, mp4-container, video: [email protected]~10000kbit/s, audio: [email protected]/s, 44khz)
i know, seems very choppy but this is because i was walking constantly. framerate is quite good. my defy runs at 1,2ghz but i tested 720p rec @ 800mhz too and it worked the same. it might be necessary to apply sdcard read_ahead_kb patch (mine runs at 2560 kb instead of 128) to avoid slow framerate effect which could be observed on hancocks rom.
sadly, recording with .h264 codec is still not possible (and i doubt it ever will). hence the resulting video is no match for the 720p recordings of e.g. the samsung wave but imho it is still a lot better than stock and looks almost great
now i leave it to the real devs to optimize this, whatever it is.
DISCLAIMER:
I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES RESULTING FROM THIS MODIFICATION!
/edit:
mod works fine on the following froyo versions:
-3.4.2-117
-3.4.2-145 (as the mod comes from this version)
-3.4.2-155
mod doesn't work on:
-3.4.3-11
strange behavior detected:
after recording in 720p dmesg shows:
Timed out waiting for DSP suspend 3
pm_op()latform_pm_suspend+0x0/0x54 returns -1
PMevice C6410 failed to suspend:error -1
PM:Some devices failed to suspend

don't know, which impact this has on battery drain. after fresh reboot and w/o recording in 720p this problem doesn't show up.

It works with Barebones 1.4... when im recording it seems little bit choppy, but playing it in MoboPlayer is good (smooth, maybe not 30 fps but its good!).
Thank you!

great! since Barebones 1.4 is based on CEE 3.4.2-155-002 Deblur, we can add it to the compatibility list.
yes, the recording view seems choppy on my system too, but the resulting video is quite smooth (~23-24fps).

sorry. i believe that 720p recording isn't impossible for green lense models. but i do believe that this patch based on hancocks mod will do the trick only for red lens defys. because it isn't just the color of the lens but a totally different sensor. perhaps someone figures out a mod for green lenses too.
But official Froyo is near, just wait, it should have 720p recording for EVERYONE.
I compare it to xd1 ROM files, and find the different files are,
720p_mp4venc_sn.dll64P
libOMX.TI.720P.Encoder.so
libOMX.TI.JPEG.Encoder.so
libOMX.TI.mp4.splt.Encoder.so
libOMX.TI.Video.encoder.so
Hope it can reduce the update size.

My problem with Hancocks ROM is that lgcamera records very light sound, no matter what encoding I chose (AMR_NB, AMR_WB or AAC). I am not even sure the software records sound on defy with encoding as AMR_WB and AAC.
Video works ok with MPEG4 encoding though with twp slight issues. One is video file bitrate is not the same as configured in lgcamera settings. The other one is framerate is always below 25 - not sure if SD card speed is the bottleneck.

with light sound, do you mean quiet or bad quality? strange when i set lgcamera from amr_nb to aac, it does use this codec at least the resulting video shows this in codecinfo. and i think the sound quality is slightly better too compared to amr. concerning the other two issues, i have the same experience. the framerate never goes over 23,9fps and when i force it to 25 or even 30, lgcamera won't start recording. youre right the bitrates of the resulting video are mostly lower then the bitrates chosen in lgcamera. 13 prduces ~10, 10 produces ~8 and 8 produces ~6 mbps. but imho there is a difference visible between 13 and 8mbps respectively 10 and 6 in the resulting video. at least on the computer you can see the difference.

On MJ7 ROM this limit is absent.
Possible cause is CSC region restriction.

Hello friends!
This is my very first work so please do not hate me.
So, simple as the title says this mod/hack don't know how to call - it increases your cameras bitRates from its limitations. For example for video recording original bitRate was 10000000 and acc audio codec rate was 128000. With this mod it improved to 20000000 and audio codec to 288000. This is maximum as its possible (as far as I know). This is because video encoder h264 supports maximum of 20000000bitRates. Also let's not forget image quality it doesn't seem to be changed a lot but still its an improvement. Increased all image encoding quality values to 99.
DONT FORGET TO MAKE NANDROID BACKUP THIS IS IMPORTANT
+ you can make a backup of your original media_profiles.xml
Flashable install
1. Download mod.zip and place to your SD card/root.
2. Reboot into recovery.
3. Clear Cache/Dalvik Cache.
4. Install Camera Mod.
5. Clear Cache/Dalvik Cache.
6. Reboot and enjoy.
I don't think wiping cache is necessary but to avoid problems its suggestible.
Manual install
1. Download media_profiles.rar extract it anywhere on your PC.
2. Push it to your system/etc (I am using root explorer so it's easy to mount R/W).
3. Obviously click yes if prompted.
4. Reboot.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
If problems occur please be sure permission are set right which are -rw-r-r- or 644
Hope everything will work for you and you will enjoy this!
If you find any mistakes/bugs etc please fix me! :angel:
There is no benefit in increasing the audio bitrate of the video encoder above 128k, the microphone isn't good enough for it to make a difference and you are just using up unnecessary extra space on your device.

This is probably true. The mic is good but not that good so over 128k AAC is kind of overkill. We just need video bitrate improvements.

He´s just using common sense. Even the original 128 kbps was overkill for the quality you get from the mic and 288 kbps? Well, that´s just insane. Imagine that people listen to studio recordings @ 128 kbps AAC.
Edit:
Just noticed that you also increased the video bitrate to 20 Mbps. Really? We are talking about 720p videos from a mobile phone

He´s just using common sense. Even the original 128 kbps was overkill for the quality you get from the mic and 288 kbps? Well, that´s just insane. Imagine that people listen to studio recordings @ 128 kbps AAC.

Let him play around with the settings until he finds a sweet spot. This is just him experimenting right now. No need to be so negative.

I am being negative here because of " Interesting what others can say and if they achieved anything." Sorry to say that, but this is a very arrogant attitude, especially when he was replying to someone who was right. Edviss basically told him "You never achieved anything, so shut up.", while he probably doesn´t know what he is doing himself.

What are you talking about dude? Could you please show me where I was talking like that? You need to take this forum life a little more simpler. With this attitude of yours go hide better somewhere
thanks for investigating this, will check your progress now and then

Hello friends!
This is my very first work so please do not hate me.
So, simple as the title says this mod/hack don't know how to call - it increases your cameras bitRates from its limitations. For example for video recording original bitRate was 10000000 and acc audio codec rate was 128000. With this mod it improved to 20000000 and audio codec to 288000. This is maximum as its possible (as far as I know). This is because video encoder h264 supports maximum of 20000000bitRates. Also let's not forget image quality it doesn't seem to be changed a lot but still its an improvement. Increased all image encoding quality values to 99.
DONT FORGET TO MAKE NANDROID BACKUP THIS IS IMPORTANT
+ you can make a backup of your original media_profiles.xml
Flashable install
1. Download mod.zip and place to your SD card/root.
2. Reboot into recovery.
3. Clear Cache/Dalvik Cache.
4. Install Camera Mod.
5. Clear Cache/Dalvik Cache.
6. Reboot and enjoy.
I don't think wiping cache is necessary but to avoid problems its suggestible.
Manual install
1. Download media_profiles.rar extract it anywhere on your PC.
2. Push it to your system/etc (I am using root explorer so it's easy to mount R/W).
3. Obviously click yes if prompted.
4. Reboot.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
If problems occur please be sure permission are set right which are -rw-r-r- or 644
Hope everything will work for you and you will enjoy this!
If you find any mistakes/bugs etc please fix me! :angel:

Hello guys First of all it's my first post in the nexus 5 group (i've did a pre-search) and i contact you with this problem
Last night i went out with friends at a pool party and used my nexus 5 for recording some videos from the stage. The music wasn't to loud, just like normal club music, in open space. Today when i took a look on the video i got scared...the sound quality is insanely BAD !. It's like the phone is set to +100 gain in the microphone... I tried normalizing audio in premier pro but with no chance. So i ask you guys, do you know any solution on how i can repair the problem. The best audio quality i had in recording videos in club (audio especially) was with my Nokia E51 that had the best mics i can find one a phone...
so here is a comparison:
In club music (closed space) shot with my Htc One S (no dual mic or things like that) -> https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=487777791348118&set=vb.100003477036350&type=3&theater
in club music (closed space) shot with my Nokia E51 (a 5-6 years phone that still records audio crispy clear for a phone ! - don't look at video quality) -> https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=247706518688581&set=vb.100003477036350&type=3&theater
last night with my nexus 5 ->https://www.dropbox.com/s/3vtisokit5ontwl/VID_20140727_032412.mp4
All the link are so you guys can see that exact problem that i have. I want to repair it, if it is possible in the stock rom (with a app) or if i need to install a custom rom, what is the best rom that resolves my problem and has best performance .
Thank you in advance !
I have exactly the same problem. Tried recording at a couple of indoor parties(so a little louder than your situation. Couldn't recognize any music when playing the video's afterwards. Terrible quality

Partial fix - i think
Ok so last night i got an app from play store called microphone that has a setting on the mic called mic gain. it was set to +32 dB....overgain ! so i set it to 0 and did some recording in the house with my audio system on a high volume and afterwards put the phone next to the speaker and seem that it records decent . but i think it is a problem related to software settings... will keep you updated on what i found
Sounds awesome. Thanks for your effords

Problem solved?
I can't post links so if anyone wanna fix this or just post the links from my post that would be great, thank you.
So I've found a solution, or at least a temporary one
Get the camera app called Lgcamera. In this app you can manually set your audio settings.
Set it to AAC and set the stereo option to On (this did it for me atleast).
/store/apps/details?id=rubberbigpepper.lgCamera&hl=sv
I made a little video about it since I couldn't find this solution before, hope it helps!
/watch?v=RVWcE3dQoMk
Please help spread the video on forums where this issue is discussed so more people (and perhaps even Google?) can record without that awful noise reduction/cancellation! If enough people complain then they will probably (hopefully) implement these settings in the "Google Camera" app!
Thanks for the video! This is the video.

BE CAREFULL though with LGCamera, because I found that no matter what you choose in settings, fullHD (1024p) videos are ALWAYS recorded with 15 frames per second only (vs 30 as normal), making the videos look very choppy. So I deinstalled LGCamera again. Otherwise great app.
But I found a good substitute, it called Open Camera, link to the (free) app and also a possible video mic fix (reduces mic gain).

Hmm, strange. I do not have that problem. I record with 30FPS without any problems. Maybe something is wrong in the settings? Have you tried changing the video format around? The app is not that great but it does the job for now, atleast for me.
Edit:
I noticed that the front camera is not that great in Lgcamera, but the back I have no problems with. I recorded a video on my instagram if anyone wanna check it out. I'm still changing the bit values around hoping it will sound even better.
Speakers are "semi-loud" and i recommend watching the video in your phone or atleast lowering the bass if you're watching it with "real speakers".

Here are my settings for this particular video:
Back camera
1920x1080
H.264
Vid Bitrate 17mbit
Vid framerate 30
AAC
44100 Samplerate
128000 Bitrate (unsure of what value is best here)
Stereo OFF
Ok thanks, I might give it another try... Open Camera works well for me, though.
Did you check the actual framerate of your resulting video with a tool like mediainfo or VLC Player codec Info?
Nice guitar work btw

Open Camera works too, but I still get the audio artifacts when recording with a backing track. I get those in LG too, just not as much. Lg is in no way perfect, but the sample and bit rate allows a bit more customization if you ask me.
I'll upload one with OC when I get home! And thanks
By the way, what settings did you use in Open Camera? Or did you just lower the gain?

higher bitrate = better quality/higher filesize :good:
HUUUGE discovery today!
Update your LG-camera, go to settings and set audio to "voice communication" = headset. You can now record with your headset, see my instagram @Callemusicman for results!
It completely removes the noise cancellation!!
Isn't there any other solution? Because if i use, for example, Instagram, the sound is still very bad... so this LG app isn't usefull for recording with Instagram or other apps...
