Hi..., I am currently using cm-7.2.0 RC 5.5 and discovered that i am unable to zoom in the camera whereas i can do the same when i am in the camcorder. My resolution is not at the max to be precise (at abt. 3mp). Any idea or solution to this problem will be appreciated with a thanks button.
I have the same rom and i faced same problem i think is something with the rom.
you can always use fxcamera,it supports zooming.
y dont u use lgcamera. it has zooming+ increasing bitrate + quality of video + AUTOFOCUS WHILE VIDEO RECORDING.....
plz CLICK THNKZ IF I HELPED

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

from BizzaBoy @ supportforums.motorola.com
"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!!!!!!!

And here is the rom dump

pls someone take a look..
Please reupload!

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.
Thnaks for this - i'll have a play with it later today
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.

i don't think i will be any helpfull, cause i'm no dev. i just took the work of a dev and ported it to another rom. sorry. perhaps someone else is able to do it.
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.

This is a hack to improve camera functionality.
I tried to use my N9005 to record my lectures that's over than 1-2 hours per file
but camera allows me only 320x240 which quality is too low. (720p is take too much memory per file)
Any external applications, or hack camera app ??
Thanks in advance and sorry for my English skills.
Update
Try LG camera Pro, that might have the option to record in 480p.

The phone is not in the standard 16:9 format. Look for an option to record your screen in native resolution or use an alternative.

Try to set the app that you want to record to full screen mode then. I had the same with Asphalt 9 and once I set it to full screen, no problem.
use this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kimcy929.screenrecorder
its the best. not taking too much ram, not laggy, easy to use and supports 120fps screen recording, which is extremely smooth.
