I stumbled across this video created by khalpowers on the XT720:
http://vodpod.com/watch/5015769-hd-recording-30-fps-xt720
This tells me that it's possible to get 30FPS out of this phone. Mine is only recording at 21fps according to Windows.
Will using one of khalpowers' ROMs fix my camcorder app?
I've tried the lgcamera app and I still get only 21FPS.
If any of you have any insight into this I would really appreciate it.
So I installed khalpowers' camera update and things seem smoother now, but I don't get 30fps. In Fraps I'm getting between 21fps and 24fps. It's better than it was before, but still not quite as smooth as I would like. The shutter lag in the camera is also better after the update.
Is this phone even capable of 30fps at 720p? The specs seem to say it can only do 24fps.
It can only do 24 FPS.
try khals video settings in lgcamerapro app. it allows for recording in 30fps.

It turns out that the FPS thing is really difficult to evaluate. This is because the phone records variable bit rate. The actual rate recorded seems to depend on how much light is hits the camera sensor (i.e. brighter scenes get higher framerates and darker scenes get lower framerates which makes sense to me).
To make things even more confusing the file contains a number as a "guesstimate" of the frame rate. This guesstimate is what most programs show. Unfortunately, the guesstimate seems to be incorrect most of the time. IIRC the only thing we found that seemed to show us the actual framerate was Windows Media Player in Windows 7.
There's a lot more about this in Dexter's stock221v13 development thread. Page 126 of that thread seems to be in the middle of it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=939644&page=126 I think it started here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11630078#post11630078 but it's really spread out.
Can someone post a link to kahl's camera update and khal's LGCamera settings. And should I apply the update if I'm running StealEpicBlue, or the ROM already has the update?
Thanks.
Even with lgcamera and khal's settings, the files are still not 30fps. Even watching his sample videos, they don't look any smoother than what I'm getting with his "fix" installed on the default camcorder app.
Anyhow, I can live with 24fps. I just wanted to know if 30fps was possible, and it seems as though it's not.
Thanks everyone for your input.
Perhaps khal can chime in and confirm that his files are indeed 30fps. IMO Fraps is a good way to verify it.
Higher rate on xt just 24fps.....that video from eclair..now can produce better than that with airplane mode ..
So............... does we have Camupdate on StealEpicBlue or not?
Thanks.
yes..complete patches included with cam update...

On stock 2.1.1, I did that :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088297
but, I mean it's already done in khalpowers ROM
Can someone post the best settings for LG Camera, please?
Thanks in advance.
Many people say, camcorder works with the new CM9 05032012 update (i have tried both devs versions).
When I start recording, everything is ok, but when i wanna stop it, camera app is crashing... I can see the video file, but I can't open it. It isn't playable...
Any suggestion ?
Okay, I've had this problems for quite some time now.
Whenever I use ANY ICS ROM, the camera doesn't show the pics which were clicked using flash and the videos have length 00:00...
Also, in the weather app, there are no animations coming just in the app...
Even in GB ROMs, the videos have length 00:00...
PLEASE help me I really don't know what to do !!??!!
Hello
i´m just wondering because i don´t find much to read about it.
After i upgraded to 6.0.1 my main camera can record one video after boot. then the camera app fc.
Front camera and taking pictures working fine.
After a reboot video recording (might) work again once.
If that occures also video playback via mxplayer, album and youtube don´t work.
I already reflashed the latest firmware, used stock rom´s and different kernels. Nothing solves my problem.
Luckily i found an old 6.0 backup so i restored that to see if it´s maybe smth hardware related.
But no. With the "old" 6.0 backup camera working good again.
So anyone has similar issues or ideas?
Thank you

Hi, I have tried 2 different CR Android 11. and video recorder doesn't work properly.
For example, in Gcam I can save videos but there's no sound at all. (I have tried NG, and 3 more versions all the same issue)
In Anx, it records the video, but when I go to gallery the video length says 14 hrs and it doesn't even play the video.
Is there any app that records video properly without bugging so much?, to me video recording is essential on my phone. I'm seriously considering going back to MIUI because I see that all CR have the same issue.

Just happened the same thing to me in Lineage OS 17.1.
I wonder if it is related to some libs missing or being different in some Roms. I couldn't make video recording work right with any camera app.
At the moment I went back to MIUI Global Rom until I find if it is rom related, if it is any issue with some library or what else could I do to choose an appropriate rom. Because it is very tired to begin rom switching only to discover again that video recording doesn't work and I have to reflash and reinstall apps again.
Edit; I forgot to ask if you were able to solve your issue
