What is Audio Trigger ?
It's a Android app that when detects a louder voice makes a photo, then it's shows you a preview and you select to save it or erase it. Also it have a force capture inside the app.
Not working
Louder audio detection
Perform a photo when loud audio detected
Any help it's thanked.

SferaDev, this looks awesome! I know its only in early stages, but its a great start. Really nice work
Thanks for the recognition too ;p
Would be quite interested in helping with this drop me a PM

The popular camera app - Camera FX Zoom - has this feature and i have been using it regularly.
Actally i have a suggestion. How about trigger the audio recording when there is louder sound. That will be useful whenever i fight with my boyfriend
Or how about make it generic, make it a Tasker plugin so that we can decide what to do when louder sound is detected. I will definitely buy it (up to $5) if such a Tasker plugin is available.
Good luck

Camera Zoom Fx it's a Camera Api not based in Googles one, so its compatible with Audio Trigger ! When doing the photo it asks what to use !

Hi hotelier1984!
I love your idea of recording audio during capture! Could produce some awesome results.
The main difference between this and a sound trigger in a app like CameraZoomFX would be the speed of capture. The original idea stems from use of two different apps. I'll quote the original thread for more info:
Hi Everyone!
My names Mike, and I'm an artist working in the UK. I've had an idea for an art project for quite some time now, and in the process of working through the details I believe a component of it could be solved using an Android Application. The idea for the application would be to have a camera that is always at the ready and will snap a picture every time a certain level of audio input is reached. Now, this will be slightly different to your average 'Audio Trigger' in the sense that the camera will have to be able to take pictures at an incredibly fast pace. Two, three, four or more a second if possible.
Obviously, Ive done a bit of research to see if there are any applications available that could do the job without any alterations. There are a few apps that come close.
The first is 'Fast Burst Camera'
This is an amazingly quick camera application capable of taking photos in the region of 30fps at 1280x720. (I'm guessing this uses some sort of modified video camera function?) Setting this to Full Manual mode allows for amazing capture speed, taking photos as fast as you can hit the shutter button. Perfect!
The second is 'Sensor Camera'
This app has perfect control over the sound meter levels for the 'Audio Trigger'. Allowing you to set a watch value at 10db increments. The only drawback is the use of full resolution shots, making the capture rate far to low.
I'm wondering if it would be possible to combine the two functionalities into one application? Whether this would be possible in terms of processor speed and hardware?
I know the commercial appeal for this functionality would be almost non-existent, but for the use in this project it would be perfect! I've emailed the respective developers of each application, without much interest.
If anyone is interested please let me know. This is for a non-profit art project, so it would be great if people wanted to donate their time, but I would also be happy to pay. The app would not be used commercially at my end, only for the work in the project.
If you've made it this far, thank you for your time
Mike.

Ok then as I'm stucked I'll post a mindstorm.
For Audio Trigger Sound detection we have two options.
1. Start recording and when the mic detects a higher dB makes a ACTION.
Problem: We don't want to save the recording. Requires too much space !
2. Use the Voice Commands API from Google.
Problem: We wanna hear a word not a command !
Thanks in advance !

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.

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 :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1172048
and this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=896826
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.

we have alot of apps like Camera Zoom FX and CameraMX and others which let us capturr better pics/edit them and enhance them.
but i REALLY need to know if there is some app which lets us edit/enhance a video on mobile??
not talking about any trimming video, but a proper app in which we can like "set the contrast" and improve the visual quality of a photo? thanks in advance!!!

You could try out LGCamera from the playstore..
I've not messed with it too much but seems to have some of the settings you may be looking for..
If you use it - you may need a fair bit of space on the storage as I saw one user has recorded a 58 second clip which came out at 518Mb..
Hi all,
currently running rooted Stock ROM 4.4.4. and while the video quality os OK I´m very dissatisfied with the sound quality when recording videos. Tried using the (new) google Camera app from playtore which is my standard app and also tried using the free OpenCamera app.
The sound is extremely muffled and it seems like noise reduction or internal audio processing is the culpit.
Is there any chance to get rid of the noise cancelling when recording videos?
I know it must be possible because for example the Hi-Q MP3 audio recording app I use allows me to choose the audio input (raw audio, main mic) and I get much better sound quality using the raw audio unprocessed sound input vs. main mic which seems to be amplified.
Any hints on this guys?
Thanks a bunch,
Kusie

There's also quite a lengthy thread called something like "Microphone issues" that also covers this issue.
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...

Hello everyone,
GonnyCam is a burst camera app that compresses and saves frames directly to storage as it captures them, avoiding memory buffer size limits that restrict the number of shots you can take in a single burst.
I've recently updated it to support the camera2 API but I've only tested it on a Nexus 5, so any feedback from people with other devices is very welcome! To access the camera2 features (higher resolutions, basically) you need to go into the options and check "Use Android Camera2". The checkbox will only appear if you have a phone running 5.1.1+ and with the "full" camera2 API implementation.
It supports resolutions up to 1920*1080 on Kit Kat and below. Supports basic colour controls, GIF saving etc.
Search "GonnyCam" in the Google Play store if you're interested. I'd prefer to link directly to an APK but the forum software won't let me sorry.
Nice job :good:

Hi. excellent app!
Unusable on a Dji Osmo Mobile though, as you need to keep the shutter pressed continously.
Could you add an option so that the big red button starts (and then stops) recording?
Then I can stabilize my GIFs on the Osmo

Hi, thanks for trying out my app.
The behaviour you are asking for isn't supported exactly in the current version, but you can do something similar by setting up one of the volume button bindings to "Burst (start/stop)". Then you can get the functionality you want, but using the volume button instead of the big red button.

I'm not sure what you mean.
If you mean "why can't I take pictures in portrait orientation?", actually, you can. The app uses the accelerometer to choose the correct orientation to save the pictures in. However, on some devices (e.g. if the accelerometer isn't working properly) then it won't work.
If you mean "why don't the UI icons rotate when I hold the device in portrait orientation" it's because I haven't bothered to implement this yet because it's a low priority for me. The pictures will still come out in portrait regardless.
Yes, that works - must have been a glitch on my phones accelerometer when I tried it last night.
Excellent - thanks
Facebook didn't want to play my GIF as GIFanim - just showed the first picture.
I see online that people claim that is because the gif is not in 1:1 format (but 4:3 og 16:9)
Have you experienced this?
Is there a way to "cut down" the pictures to 1:1?

My app doesn't support cropping GIFs to 1:1 as yet but you can use online tools to do this e.g. ezgif dot com slash crop (sorry I can't post links). Or you could try and search for a GIF editing app. Kind of annoying that Facebook doesn't do it for you tbh
