i just made a discovery and was wondering anyone else who has the same programs can check this out....
i am running damage control latest and the kernal modified for damage control for the novatek panels..so i get about 44 to 46 fps consistently now. HOWEVER when i use the stock camera application it behaves exactly the same as it used too before the fps kernal, basically in low light the frame-rate drops to something less than 19fps (19fps is about what the human eye can distinguish as "movement without blurring or choppiness") and the camcorder works the same way, so even though the camcorder is supposed to be recording at 24fps, in low light it really isnt. i bought the app "vignette" and its a neat camera app that has a bunch of really cool filters, well anyway BEFORE the new kernal it basically behaved the exact same way as the stock camera app, it would get blurry and choppy in low light situations (fps would drop below 19) however something interesting happed AFTER i installed the kernal! the vignette app actually performed better than the default camera app, it seems that vignette actually didnt drop below 19 fps as even in a very low light situation i could move the camera around and the picture wouldn't blur or get choppy. so this leads me to conclude that
1. something is holding back performance of the stock camera and camcorder that the fps kernal doesnt fix (which was already known)
and most importantly 2. it seems that maybe third party apps are NOT affected by whatever is holding back the stock camera!
so my theory is that if there is a third party app for video recording perhaps we can get proper fps video recording in low light situations....!!!!
I made a video showing the differences with my flip mino HD and its currently uploading to youtube i will edit the post with the youtube video once its done.
but if anyone else has a the modified fps kernal and can test this please let us know what you find. if you have vignette then try vignette if you have another third party camera app then try that. perhaps by comparing the code between the two apps we can see what might be holding back the performance of the stock camera.
EDIT for video
Very interesting discovery... I hope you are on to something here. Thanks
i just tried taking the cam with vignette... gorgeous!
what third party app uses the video camera? i want to test that out too.
this app is great, just downloaded it n i like it alot. gotta find a thrid party video app now n we would be set.
That would be sweet if an 3rd party app could fix it.

Hi everyone
when you record a video on your original SGS 4G camera, your audio sampling is :
66 kbps bit rate.
16 KHz sample rate.
which is pretty lame...
If you ever tried to record live shows or concerts, you probably noticed audio is awful on recorded video...
Introducing Video Recording audio improvement MOD
found and very well explained by rafalense (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10980448&postcount=268).
Performed on SGS 4G camera by me. So, now recorded audio sampling is :
118 kbps bit rate.
32 KHz sample rate.
file size change is barely noticed.
Still camera is not modified.
I took, as a basis, the Team Acid modified camera - done by DSexton702.
So it is capable of taking pictures when battery is low and also by using the power button.
This is still in beta as :
1. Currently Audio-Video is out of sync. I need to check if this can be fixed by changing Video sampling rate....
In the meanwhile, you can fix this on PC very easily.
2. This mod does not use the media profile xml for greater video frame rate.
I actually put the original file back. I found the result to be not supported by all players and having some side effects like visual waves (and much larger file size).
3. Actually I examined DSexton702 media profile and it defines some various audio sample rates but always create 16KHz at the end.
If someone here has the knowledge in A/V synchronization or a good setup that works - please let me know so i will fix it.
Thanks.

Awesome work! Thanks.
Glad to have u aboard thanks for this man this is well needed!!!!!
Now having AntonX kernel supporting Vodoo Sound - I will test audio HiFi record option enabled on video recording and update.
Would love to see this become final. You certainly are right about the audio during concert recording. All we hear is pure bass... Thank you for working on a much needed video recording mod.

Yeah.. would be awesome.
Thanks for the work, itzik2sh.
Edit : guys working with Voodoo sound (with supporting kernel)
need to run the Voodoo sound app and choose 'Recording Preset' - then change default to 'Loud environment - with DRC'
This should improve the recording level of loud shows.
Hi
Did anyone here test this MOD with live concert recording ?
If it doesn't help than I'll drop all further work.
I thought this problem is SGS 4G unique, but it turns out it exists on all Sammy phones,
even Nexus and SGS 2. See this bounty thread for SGS 2 :

I'll try to ask AntonX to take a look or maybe ask supercurio on kernel implementation...
I also tried installing LGCamera from the market, which supposingly has an audio gain control, but it fails to launch and I had to uninstall it.
Nice improvement

After voodoo digital recording, video and audio are repacked and converted to the device analog sampling rates, that this tweak changes (but also unsyncs)...
So if you have the time and effort, I'd appreciate if you share your experience with us all.

OK I have Moar ROM installed and today I wanted to record in slow motion but its glotched out like it will record it and it will be low quality and instead of being slow motion it gets all like frame by frame its hard to explain I wanna ask if I can have a camera apk file of ne5 original because I remembered reading moar has a modified camera so I wanna text that using an original one to see if it works can anyone help and if u don't get me ask me and I'll explain
Is there a camera mod out? I like the stock camera but I want to increase the length of the shutter speed past the current 1sec. I'm running stock Android with magisk. Thanks for any help
Hey fellow androids,
I was wondering if there is a possibility to start a video recording triggered by motion in the stock app of a phone. Specifically, in my case a Samsung S9+ with the zero cam modded stock camera app.
While searching, I came across all kinds of apps that can start a motion triggered recording, but they start a recording in their own app, which of course has lower quality than the modded stock app. (If anyone can point to an app which allows to disable denoising and sharpening as well as higher bitrates and has motion trigger, that would be great as well)
Would be grateful for any suggestions
