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 ...
DOWNLOAD:
File attached
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.

EDIT: ( dont be kid, you just downloaded my mod and edited media profiles.... i checked it right now... and is my custom media profiles... )
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
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.
Overkill

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

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.

Viper4Android FX would be my suggestion...found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223
I used stock BoomSound to start, then tried the Harman/Kardon mod. Boomsound really washed out the mids, and Harman/Kardon default was really tinny sounding in the highs, to me. I flashed Viper in TWRP, and it's been working great for months. You have a ton of options to tweak the sound however you want, but I'm running mostly stock with just a slight boost to bass. Mostly listen to music in my car, so I probably don't get the full details in the music, but the balance is great...way better than Boomsound, to my ears.
Check out this Anandtech writeup that includes Boomsound analysis: http://www.anandtech.com/show/8078/smartphone-audio-testing-htc-one-m8-and-samsung-galaxy-s5/2
Can't speak to the quality of Project Era or Sound Explosion, so I don't have any comparison opinions. Hope this helps!

Any idea how to change the filters on the audio recording? I noticed that during video recording the audio seems to have a high pass filter. Meaning almost no bass.
@devcon69 and @kodorevi8ulis.
Thanks again, its working fine now but now output while listening to music on headphones is way loud, more like sound is getting distorted at full volume.
I will try to increase the volume by 4 in that case.

If you have flashed the patch zip then restore it.
Open the patch zip file and extract and replace only one file: audio_policy_configuration.xml using root explorer.
Then set the permissions of newly created come as of other files.
Then restart. It's done
Hi,
I send Feedback about it to Xiaomi and they said this:
"Dear user,
I am the Xiaomi user feedback group. The feedback about the Equalizer. Due to the adjustment of Xiaomi business, the Q version no longer provides this function, which is inconvenient for you."
So dont expect it on the future versions.

Not that the stock equalizer that came from Android Pie was any good. We just need people to try and revive the old DogsBark team (Noozxoide Laboratories) and make rootless DSP. I have nothing against Viper, don't get me wrong, on my other device I use Viper Audio, root and all that stuff... but sometimes you just need to stick to the old user/non-dev ways. I am sure it's possible, the problem is the financing and the will to do it. For me, the app developed by them and last updated in 2013 worked like a charm on many devices... except this one, since november update... That's when the problems started to appear.
Since then, I've been looking not just for an equalizer, but a self contained DSP pack that would work better and guess what, nothing's there... nothing except apps with built in function (which by definition are not system wide) and crappy adware.
As for the "Xiaomi business" this really shows me that Xiaomi really gave up on the development of this device, and ALL stock Xiaomi apps will be gone, replaced by Qualcomm's apps... and I don't ever recall seeing any DSP coming directly from Qualcomm.
----------Later addon----------
While the PRO version of Noozxoide EIZO-Rewire PRO has the problems mentioned it seems that the second software Noozxoide EIZO-Rewire Elemental which works even better is still compatible and working just fine on Android 10. Right now it's in testing and benchmarking... which is not an easy job to do, but as long as I love quality music I will do it and post results/download links for it.
-----Download Software-----
Download the Noozxoide EIZO-Rewire Elemental from HERE.
-----Testing abstract-----
For the following tests, were done using only hi-res audio (FLAC/ALAC 96khz 3mbps) files and 320kbps mp3 files so results may vary compared to what I tested here. Remember that streaming services use low bitrate/extremely compressed content.
---Test Speakers---
Internal audio speakers has a good response, bass is there audible, resolution is good, in this case I cannot post any reference to advanced graphs since they are irrelevant in this case.
The best settings (for me) are posted in the first screenshot here. While this is my recommendation, the software doesn't go overboard and keeps the audio quality in control. While testing all the test tracks which varies from Rock/Metal to Acoustic to a more aggressive dubstep there were absolutely NO cracks and pops in audio output from the speaker (which is a result of poor equalization/frequencies outside the speaker range).
---Test Line-Out/Amplified output---
Headphones (because of my current limitations of testing - a conclusive test would be source file vs. processed audio output and multiple headphone test - in ear, open back, ported, etc) were only tested with 3.5mm jack Apple EarPods which are well known to have the best consumer grade frequency response I found that the 2nd attached screenshot works best (for me). While some FLAC files with really deep bass (about 6-10Hz) totally overrun them (and not the Qualcomm audio processor) I would say that this DSP (VSP) works just fine on our devices.
I don't know if I should leave a placeholder here for the advanced, audiophile grade, passive amplified headphones.
---Test Wireless Audio---
Bluetooth and wireless media. Works just as expected. Test were done only with a Nokia BH-503 headset (couldn't test on the car, and neither did I want to spend time going to the car and test it on the BMW Pro-Logic system) but on those headset it made them literally vibrate on the ears, extremely good quality sound, deep bass, crystal clear trebbles and warm mid-tones. Again, I didn't manage to get a single crackle or pop on the speaker drivers which means the equalization done by this engine is sensible and perfectly limited/compressed. The settings I used are posted in the third screenshot.
-----Conclusion-----
The solution posted here works fine, while extensive testing the app still shows that is consumed 0% battery, so the battery drain is minimal.
The application works perfectly after reboot and closing from the recents screen, there were no modifications done/or excluded from the battery optimization screen.
This application is not a booster, this application is a DIGITAL SOUND PROCESSOR controlling the Qualcomm core (was built for this back in the day) and upscaling the audio resolution.
-----Q/A-----
Q: Does this app require any tampering with the system?
A: No, this app is installed as a normal app from the link provided (Play store link)
Q: Does this app work as a system wide equalizer and integrates in other apps?
A: Yes, yes it does, and from my testing it works with all media players (the equalizer option opens up the app), Youtube, Games, etc.
Q: Does this app consume system resources while processing?
A: Yes and no. Of course you need system resources for processing but they aren't that intensive at least for MP3 processing but for FLAC/ALAC processing things get a little more frisky as shown in the 4th screenshot attached.
Q: How's the battery drain overall with FLAC and MP3 playback?
A: Depending on the method of listening the drainage is different, but even on Bluetooth the consumption didn't affect my battery overall.
Q: Does this enable AptX?
A: No. This has nothing to do with that. But while AptX and SBC are not that different in base audio quality, this pushes the codec to 328kbps and upscales the audio to a resolution of 48khz which is ideed great for maxed out mp3 quality over Bluetooth, which again is based on the source files.
