Defy has MT9P012 ImageSensor 720p Video only lib missing?

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

"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!!!!!!!

Question on UHD Video Recording Limitations

Hi All from Toronto, Canada!
I hope this is the right place to ask this. My question is as follows:
I have an Honor Note 8 with the Kirin 955 and the Mali T880. The camera on this phone is the Sony IMX278 RGBW sensor, which isn't the best as I hear, but is able to record 4k/UHD video.
From what I can gather, the Kirin 955 doesn't support hardware level UHD video encoding (only DECODING), and any phone with this SoC isn't able to record 4k/UHD video.
Would it be possible (albeit a lot of work) to record 4k/UHD video and either encode it at a software level (i gather this would be really slow), or even by using the GPU instead of the CPU to encode it? From what I can gather, the GPU is much more efficient as processing graphics and 2D video shouldn't be a problem at all for it. It seems like a solution to this would allow any user with this hardware configuration to be able to enjoy their phone cameras a lot more.
I know 4k/UHD video isn't really widespread yet, but I do have the necessary components at home including a 4k TV to be able to enjoy this resolution, so I am looking for a solution to this. Is it as simple as modifying the media_profiles.xml file and installing a different camera app?
I don't know a lot about android development, but I am making it a point to learn as much as I can, and I have put quite a lot of research into this idea before posting here, including searching on XDA. I work in Software Application Support for a small CRM, and I have years of experience doing mods and customization on android devices, so I am familiar with the landscape here and I should at least be able to understand any answer no matter how technical.
Thank you for your help!

I don't know much about Kirin SOC but with say QCOM to be able to encode via software using say FFMPEG the ISP would have to return preview frame with UHD Dimensions.
Its probably Capable of Encoding 4K maybe can check if it can be modded by understanding how everything works .
1st Check in /system/vendor/lib /system/lib/ lib64 for any file containing the word camera zip them attach them to your post

4K Dislpay?

Hey I wanna know that Sony's doing the same thing like they did with Z5 Premium?
Like this is 1080p by default but only when you open in gallery and maybe amazon prime video app triggers the 4K?
I remember Erika Griffin mentioned that you can change the resolution but another YouTuber said it's 1080p by default.
Erica's video (Watch at 3m4s)
Mathew's video (Watch at 2m17s)

I think you can toggle it manually, pretty sure I've understood that and it only makes sense.
Not that you should want it to run in 4k all day but for vr or something and actual 4k content.

i want 4k in games ! is it not possible to render games in higher resulution ?

My understanding that the default to 1080P is a Android N default to save battery life, you can set it to 4K under display in system settings

You can change the resolution in the settings menu and if you choose 4K, all the contents will be shown in 4K, same thing with 1080P and 2K.

Are you sure these guys even checked? Kinda sucks if it doesn't. I mean its something that really isn't needed. I owned the z5 premium and had it emulate 4k all the time with a kernel and then in the end just went back to stock but it its also something reviewers would target as an issue

I hope there will be simple hack to enable such a feature. This will be needed for example when you want to watch VR video with cardboard using custom app, even if content will be 4k by default app will not enable it.

Yea you can enable it to 2K 4K with abd. I just wanted to see if Sony had implemented to change the display res under the settings, Guess they did NOT.

Youtube now supports 4K resolution for the XZ Premium. That's what i like most!

You can try this method when you get the phone.
Plus I saw it in a video that Sony mentioned that they may include an option to change the resolution in future update. I think they should but I would just use it in 2K once I get the device.

yes i knew this adb trick from the old sony xperia 4k Handy, i make it so bevor i sell it, but this was not a good option, the apps/players for the VR 360 movies working bad, to small on the Display........you would not happy with this Settings
then Sony make a new 4K Handy, and what? Same fuc....k
4K only works in Sony Photo App and Sony Videoplayer........but this can not play 360 or 180 Videos corretly with motion, only still.

Techradar says:
"You won’t find a sharper screen on another smartphone, and unlike its 4K-toting predecessor you actually get the full resolution all the time. The Z5 Premium would only deliver the full 4K experience when you were watching video of the same resolution, whereas on the new Xperia XZ Premium it’s 3840 x 2160 all the way – from the home screen and browser to the app store and your social media profiles."
I think it is a mistake from Techradar, but what do you think, can it be true?

You won't get higher resolution graphics in any game by changing the resolution to 4k. All you will do is zoom out really far making things really hard to see and the ui will be tiny. It would only be worth it in games that use proper scaling and there aren't many aaa games on Android that might do it. Buy a 4k phone for videos and photos. Don't expect people to quadruple their graphics production workload for such a niche gaming market.

if you check mods section of the XZ Premium forum, you will find a ''trick'' (by ADB) to change the resolution to native 4K, with this method everything will be displayed in native 4K resolution (really appreciate this mod), hope I helped !

Getting the Pixel's Auto HDR+ camera app on the Xperia XZ

The Google Pixel's Auto HDR+ camera app was recently ported to SD820 and SD821 devices, but when I try to install it on my Xperia XZ on stock firmware, Android 7.1.1, version .35, the app crashes on launch. Can anybody provide me with a link to a working APK, or is our phone just not capable of using it?

Thanks, I didn't know that. Is there anyway to reduce the noise and artefacts in the photos, then? (without rooting the device or installing a custom ROM)

Yes there is way. Must use manual settings or preloadet Scenes. Super Auto Mode is far from the best pics in diferent conditions.

Thanks! I'll read some more about the manual mode. Does that mean I have to adjust the manual settings, or can I leave everything in auto?

To adjust manual is so tricky and need more knowledge. But preloaded scenes SCN in manual mode was ok for diferent situations. For Example - Sport is for fast moving with very fast focusing. Or Twilight from hand or Anti shaking is good for low light but need to turn on flash.
Im not sure for the scene names because my phone is on other language.

Thanks again! I have another question relating to the camera. It goes as follows:
The Xperia XZ1 (with 8.0 Oreo) has a much better camera than the XZ Premium (with Android 7.1 Nougat), even though they have the exact same camera hardware, the XZP has much more oversharpening (and other issues that the regular XZ has), but the XZ1 seems to have much better software processing. My question is, therefore, that: Does that mean the XZ's camera will get much better as well, once the Android 8.0 update arrives?
Here is my source: https://www.androidcentral.com/sony-xperia-xz1-camera

Camera soft is from Sony not from Google. I think that Sony probably will not make xz cam on the level xz1 for marketing reasons. Maybe a little update something between. But developers for sure will make a port on xz1 camera for xz.

Another question: Should I leave Smart Cleaner (the Sony tool in the "Storage & Memory" section of the settings app) on? Some people say it reduces performance, but Sony claims it optimises it. What do you think and what would you do?

I have the Google camera APK downloaded and it works but can't see a difference from the stock camera, may be it's just a app but the processing of done by Sony. They don't have raw. So maybe that's why Google camera with HDR + can't do anything to make it better.

Well there is a small misunderstanding here. I am referring to the special port of the Google Pixel's camera for SD820+ devices. You can download it here, but it won't work: (on Android Nougat, that is) https://www.xda-developers.com/google-camera-updated-zero-shutter-lag-xiaomi/

As I remember it was Google Pixel camera with HDR +
Something like version 5.0 ( not sure if it was renamed)

The interface is the same, but "Google Camera" doesn't have the HDR+ processing that the Google Pixel's camera app has. HDR+ greatly reduces noise, especially in low light, while also improving image quality in backlit scenes. The Google Pixel's camera (with HDR+) has been ported to other Android devices with the Snapdragon 820 or up, but you can only use it if your phone fully supports the Camera 2 API. Sadly, our phone lacks the ability to take RAW photos, and therefore it cannot use the ported Pixel camera app.
I hope this clears things up a bit.
By the way: You said you're using Android Oreo, so maybe you do have the capability of shooting RAW photos now. I'm not on Oreo yet, because Sony still hasn't published the update in the Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg). Could you install this app and see if the XZ does have full Camera 2 API support now with Oreo?

Exactly the same as on Nougat—no RAW support. That's too bad. Thanks for trying!

Is FiLMiC Pro works on Xperia 5 II?

Hi everyone,
I'm interested in this phone, but sadly there is no available store in my country that I can test the device, online purchase only.
I've read that GCam support is broken because of Sony hardware/software settings.
So, Is FiLMiC supported? It's mostly Camera APIs and not processing much as GCam. Anyone can test with FiLMiC Pro Evaluator on the Playstore and give me a screenshot, please? I know There is Cinema Pro on Xperia but FiLMiC Pro has some solid settings like high bitrate and gimbal connect.
Thanks a lot

Great! Thank you.
I see the support for all lens are good. Can you verify that on the "Wide" tab, there is [email protected] option?

Much appreciate
Nice to see Sony did not mess with general Camera API.

This app does not fully reflect the performance.
On my x5ii, Android 10, Filmic pro 6.13.3
1080p 8bit HEVC/AVC just fine
res above 1080p 8bit HEVC/AVC jumped frame
res above 1080p 10bit HDR HEVC just fine
The developers promised to fix this issue in the next release.
Thank you for sending in that information! I submitted your information to our developers and just heard back from them. In order to fix the problem you were experiencing we are going to have to use a limited mode for resolutions above 1080p—this change will be made in an upcoming update to FiLMiC Pro. In case you're not aware, there are multiple image buffer options available within the Android camera framework and each of them gives access to different features but has different drawbacks. We use the advanced image buffer in order to provide the advanced features that we do, but if the advanced image buffer won't allow us to provide a stable frame rate—as you've experienced here—then we switch to using the limited buffer type instead.
This limited mode uses a different version of the video recorder, which limits what features we're able to use at those frame rate/resolution configurations.
'Limited mode' restrictions are as follows:
Aspect Ratios: ‘Crop Source to Overlay’ unavailable
Zoom: Smooth adjustment unavailable
Cinematographer Kit: Limited availability on some devices
Anamorphic Desqueeze Unavailable
So once the update is available that changes 2k+ resolution to limited mode, those functions will no longer be available at high frame rates. This is a hard decision to make as it does remove feature support, but it will enable us to provide stable high frame rates instead.
I hope that clears up what will be happening, but if you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out!
