Improving the Camcorder framerate?

Base on this thread:
http://androidforums.com/motorola-triumph/386245-motorola-triumph-camcorder-720p-stats.html
I'm looking for some feedback from other users on their max quality 720p camcorder video framerates. I've just dropped in a class 10 32gb micro-sd card, and it would seem there is absolutely nothing I can do to get the max framerate above 9 or so.
The video recording capabilities on this phone, although somewhat usable, are no where near what I thought a device with this hardware could achieve.

It might only be capable of a max of 24fps as IIRC I think that I read that on the MSM8X55 datasheet... I really should take some time to dig that up again...

try encoding with h.263, it uses less processing power to encode so there should get a boost in framerate

Not sure if you had time to look at the thread I linked to, but I posted results for all three of the encoding options, and all three of them had identical "max framerates" of 8.621 fps.
I gotta be doing something wrong here.
The video camera isn't the most important part of this phone for me, but I was hoping to make it a bit more usable if possible. If anyone else could just do a similar test and check their framerates with "MediaInfo," it would be much appreciated (it's not a very complicated process).

Changing the audio encoder, samplerate and bitrate helped ENORMOUSLY with the audio. It's like night and day. You have to download lgcamera though.
AAC Encoder (Says may not be supported, apparently is)
Samplerate 44100
Bitrate 256000

Allen, what are you resulting framerates?

Here's a test of audio between lgCamera at highest audio settings, and the camcorder app stock. Frame rate is bad because it's in really low light. It's almost as if they purposely made this phone act like crap.

You got that right.

I'm having the same problem with the framerate (audio is less of a concern for now). I'll play around with lgcamer in the daytime tomorrow, and see if there is any improvement.

Bad audio quality helps the video quality seem worse than it really is.

Odd. I tried these settings on my rooted Triumph and the audio doesn't seem to record properly. It just has random little blips of audio every so often.
Could it be the video settings that I have are off? Should this work with the free version of lgcamera?

Not a clue, I bought the pro version.

Has anyone tried editing media_profiles.xml?
I don't know if that will break it without other edits or not.... I was looking into getting the Moto Bravo camera to work on CM7 and one of the directions I was advised was media_profiles, upon opening the file you'll find contents like:
Code:
<MediaSettings>

</MediaSettings>
Now this is from a random page off cyanogenmod but could it be that your etc/media_profiles.xml is limiting your framerate?

Camera?
Did editing that XML file ever work? I'm running CM7

If you're running the TG-Reloaded CM7 ROM, it has the AAC audio modifications in media_profile already, and there is a dramatic difference.

[MOD] qHD video for Sensation CM-AOSP

HeY There!
well, after first quick look at strange SD 480P video recording option in CM-AOSP and missing qHD, I flashed back ARHD..
but today I performed some dig in sources to add qHD recording and... NO SUCCESS! ha-ha!
what then?
then I JUST did stupid SimplesT thing: edited file media_profiles.xml and.. ha-ha!
SUCCESS!!!
so this is what I did and what you can do:
1. with ROOT_EXPLORER mount SYSTEM R/W
2. open file /system/etc/media_profiles.xml
3. find this SD 480P profile
Code:
<EncoderProfile quality="480p" fileFormat="mp4" duration="30">
<Video codec="h264"
bitRate="5000000"
width="720"
height="480"
frameRate="30" />
<Audio codec="aac"
bitRate="96000"
sampleRate="48000"
channels="1" />
</EncoderProfile>
and change it so:
bitRate="12000000"
width="960"
height="544"
also find appropriate timelapse profile
Code:
<EncoderProfile quality="timelapse480p" fileFormat="mp4" duration="30">
<Video codec="h264"
bitRate="5000000"
width="720"
height="480"
frameRate="30" />
<!-- audio setting is ignored -->
<Audio codec="aac"
bitRate="96000"
sampleRate="48000"
channels="1" />
</EncoderProfile>
and change it in same manner:
bitRate="12000000"
width="960"
height="544"
4. RESTART phone. (required)
CONGRATsss!
there will same name SD 480P in video quality menu, but you will have qHD high quality recording.
NOTE: 12MBs is my preferred bitrate; you can change it to your preferred..

Is there anyway I can make compressed videos for smaller size to send over services such as whatsapp?

ahm, you are about absence of small video formats.. dot´t know.
wierd one: again edit this profile, but set it for lower video profile such is CIF

[Q] Help for another Android chinese phone

Hi all.
I've bought on Ebay a new Chinese Android 4.2 smartphone, it is identified as Alps X416 (I know that Alps it's a generic identification for something unknown/generic, not a real company...).
It's a strange but powerful phone (I choose it because it's cheap and Android 4.2): it has no SD internal card, but it can use a MicroSD as internal SD, so the space for app is really high...if link2sd could work at all, but it is not.
System appear S-ON, so apps are not really moved to SD, and system memory is very low, so I'm limited in using it and system became slow.
I Had no problem to root it and to install last busybox, but it's quite impossible to use ext2/3/4 filesystems for MicroSD, the original ROM doesn't support them.
I was searching for original ROM (as a backup), but specially a modified ROM (cyano seems not still supporting it, so I don't know what to choose for my phone).

Phone has FM radio too..If anyone has some ideas about any ROM I could use instead of originial, I'll apprecaite a lot!
Thanks in advance.

i also have the exact same handset and i am also looking for firmware... have you had any success since may lol??

You could try and root the app and download busybox and you can have space for everything.

Faster Android Mobile
Getting suitable ROMs for china android mobiles are little bit difficult. If you flashed unsupported rom, your mobile will get bricked. Till you flash custom rom, make your device fine.
First you may root your device. For rooting china android mobiles first of all download Moboginie or pdanet on your pc, connect your device to pc it will install drivers automatically for your device. Then download and install "VRoot" latest version on pc, connect mobile, vroot will find your device. Click on root, after 5 to 10 seconds your mobile will be rooted.
Now download Minitool Partion Wizard for partition your sd you may search thread for partition sd. Create fat32 partition around 1gb. This will be your ext2 partition on sd card. Now download and install Link2sd on your mobile. Run Link2sd if 2nd partition will not detected by link2sd. Install and Open Root Explorer, go to system/etc/install-recovery.sh, if there is no such file then create it. In install-recovery.sh file type this lines.
#!/system/bin/sh
#added by link2sd
LOG=/data/link2sd-install-recovery.log
echo "$(date) mounting..." > $LOG
mount -t vfat -o rw /dev/block/vold/179:2 /data/sdext2 1>>$LOG 2>>$LOG
mount -t vfat -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data/sdext2 1>>$LOG 2>>$LOG
mount >> $LOG
echo "$(date) mount finished" >> $LOG
echo "$(date) mount finished" >> $LOG
For more details go here for solution. Now your mobile got sufficient internal storage. Now download Ram Expander and install, set swap file size as you wish and run swap, now you will get more ram on your device.
Enjoy faster android device.

Let's make GCam better!

Since GCam only partially supports the camera of ZF3, I've asked @Arnova8G2 to help us help him improve it. I've probably posted much less info that was asked...
Here's the log from Camera2test:
https://pastecode.xyz/view/dc2c0d0c
The phone model/name is ZE520KL and it has a bigger brother, the ZE552KL, with the same camera.
More info on the model: https://m.gsmarena.com/asus_zenfone_3_ze520kl-8197.php
The camera does record [email protected] videos, differently from what's written in the site above.

Your Api2 is GCam compatible, Test with the latest version and make a logcat
If you want help, be specific about errors and send a logcat.
Must understand that I am not your device.
Help me correct, I work without knowing what to fix.
Thank you

Excellent!
I'll use the version below and I'll send logcats as soon aa possible:
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/...f/GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V7.9.9.apk

Thats great!! Thanks Arnova8G2.
I think first we have to fix the max resolution:
Ze520kl/ze552kl has max resolution of 16mp (4656 X 3492)
GCAM only shows 9,4mp

Camera2 API

Hi All
My Mi 10 has Global ROM 11.0.5 stable, 11.0.5.0 (PFDEUXM). Android version: 9 PKQ1.190303.001. Security patch 2019-09-01
I'm a bit short of time, but I've run two camera2 api probes from here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.airbeat.device.inspector
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.camera2.test
I've attached output from both apps.
The first things I notice are:
Both apps report only 2 cameras so it looks like others are not exposed yet. (hoping for gcam)
Neither apps offers a 108mp image. The MI9 offered a 48mp jpeg, but only 12mp raw.
I'll update this when I get more time, but thought I'd post the results for all to see.
Cheers
Steve

Oh yes, I forgot. OpenCamera offers a max resolution of 6016 x 4512 so 27mp which I've confirmed this is from 108mp camera, so probably pixel binned. Attached is the Settings/About.
Cheers
Steve

Thanks picitup,
Yes have been trying for a while, the 108Mp code dosn't show in the CameraApi2 regular code max 27mp
Or a special param is needed, like for Mi6 at build.prop > camera.aux.packagelist=org.codeaurora.snapcam,com.android.camera,com.miui.cit,net.sourceforge.opencamera
Or uses hidden params like the Huawei P9 like com.huawei.device.capabilities.availbaleDualPrimary & com.huawei.capture.metadata.dualSensorMode
Or something else...
I have the decompiled smali source codes of the default camera App at my Note 10 If you want to look for it, it should be there, PM and will send the zip

Hi TF1920
You may be right and if it's in the build.prop that would be a nice easy fix. Once I've got mine rooted that is!
Thanks for the offer of the source code, but Android camera software is beyond my skill set. I'm more of a pic man
Cheers
Steve

btw Steve meanwhile you can try the extra hidden parameters of the default camera app, by creating a folder named lab_options_visible at the DCIM folder , The only one I barely see a difference is with dualcammoff for the 108Mpx mode
---------- Post added at 10:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 AM ----------
The best 108Mpx modes I have tested are with the pro mode, ISO100, Manual focus, 3secs timer, and a tripod
the raw mode dosn't add much, and the resolution is lower, until a true 108Mpx code could be enabled but the files size will be huge
the 5X zoom cam resolution is lower but detail is better than manually zooming a 108Mpx pic
And the sames goes for the marco cam , less mpx but better than zooming the 108Mpx pic

Hi that's interesting thanks. You've answered one of my questions I was going to test next week, namely that all optical zooms/macro are better than a 108mp crop. Otherwise what's the point of the extra lenses?
I'm disappointed only the selfie and 108mp are exposed as I really like OpenCamera, but as you say, maybe someone will come up with a mod to expose them. Fingers crossed.
I'm away at the Lake District in the UK next week, so hope to have a play then.
Cheers
Steve

you are welcome Steve, yes OpenCamera is quite good, like setting delayed shots for timelapses and other stuff ,and Gcam is good for other things but so far none works with 108Mpx

Got my Note10 unlocked and edited buildprop to add opencamera and googlecam at camera.aux.packagelist but still the 108Mpx mode is not showing

Bummer.
Hi @TF1920
What ROM are you using? Mine was Global but I just flashed EU. If you can post up the exact lines you added to build.prop I could give it a try.
I must admit, I think we may be stuffed in trying to get 108mp for 3rd parties. I chased this quite a bit on the Mi9 (my previous phone) forum and I think it might be down to xiaomi to expose the interface. If I remember correctly, gcam only works on the camera2 raw interfaces, so if that's correct the max gcam output would be the 27MP pixel-binned offering.
The Note 10 is different to the Mi9 in that on the Mi9 the 48mp jpeg output was available for 3rd parties, but the 108mp is not available to 3rd parties.
I hope they fix it or someone (like you) finds a workaround
Cheers
Steve

I am using the default rom mine was MUI global 11.0.5 did't flashed anyone only trpw + magisk
my line is #Expose aux camera for below packages
vendor.camera.aux.packagelist=org.codeaurora.snapcam,com.xiaomi.runin,com.xiaomi.cameratest,com.xiaomi.factory.mmi,com.android.camera,org.lineageos.snap,net.sourceforge.opencamera,troop.com.freedcam
I am also trying by code to expose it , but so far nothing shows:
try {
ClassLoader cl = this.getClassLoader();
Class SystemProperties = cl.loadClass("android.os.SystemProperties");
Class[] paramTypes= new Class[1];
paramTypes[0]= String.class;
Method get = SystemProperties.getMethod("get", paramTypes);
Object[] params= new Object[1];
params[0]= new String("camera.aux.packagelist");
String packageList = (String) get.invoke(SystemProperties, params);
//String packageList = SystemProperties.get("camera.auxdisable.packagelist");
if (packageList.length() > 0) {
TextUtils.StringSplitter splitter = new TextUtils.SimpleStringSplitter(',');
splitter.setString(packageList);
for (String str : splitter) {
Log.e(TAG, "AUX:" + str);
}
}
else{
Log.e(TAG, "NO AUX ");
}
}
catch (Exception ee){
Log.e(TAG, "EXCPT");
}

Got some advances, if you add at buildprop camera.aux.packagelist=com.camera2.test
reboot and try "Camera2Test" application: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.camera2.test
lots of cameras appear but still looking for the 108Mpx mode

Wow sounds like you're making good progress! I'll geta bit of time later today and will check it out

yes a bit this is the file camera2test generates https://gofile.io/?c=LHoAUQ
Still no see the 108Mpx mode maybe it is a mix of 4 of these cams?

Hi Again I took a look at your camera2 test and wondered what lenses were there. It seems the 108MP binned to 27MP has a few duplicates. Also the selfie is only 8MP and the 2MP macro camera is missing. Here's what I trimmed it down to:

I can't find any 108MP resolutions either

OpenCam now detects 14 cameras instead of 2 and seems to work with some of them
And you can switch betwen them
Camera 0 is the 27Mpx wide
Camera 1 is the front selfi
Camera 2 is the 12Mpx portrait 2X
Camera 3 is the wide angle 20Mpx fov 117º
camera 4 is the macro 2Mpx
camera 5 is the tele 5Mpx 5x
Camera 6 fails and dosnt keep switching to others
I modified the opencam source code to avoid next cams and goes as follows
Camera 6 fails
Camera 7 is again the 12Mpx portrait 2X
Camera 8 fails too
Camera 9 is again the 27Mpx wide one but no 108Mx show
Camera 10 fails too
Camera 11 fails too
Camera 12 fails too
Camera 13 is again the 27Mpx wide one but no 108Mx show
at clickedSwitchCamera in MainActivity add this code to make usable all the other cams but the 108Mpx mode
int cameraId = getNextCameraId();
if(cameraId==6)
cameraId=7;
if(cameraId==8)
cameraId=9;
if(cameraId==10)
cameraId=11;
if(cameraId==11)
cameraId=12;
if(cameraId==12)
cameraId=13;

The 108Mpx setup seems to be done here in the stock cam app from Note10 decompiled source code https://gofile.io/?c=FZTYB5 at ComponentManuallyDualLens
But not sure if this is only for ultra wide and not ultra pixel
public static final String KEY_ULTRAPIXEL_PORTRAIT_CHANGED = "ultrapixel_portrait_changed";
public static final String KEY_ULTRA_WIDE_LDC = "ultra_wide_ldc";
There is also a KEY_SUPER_RESOLUTION_CHANGED = "super_resolution_changed";

Hi @TF1920
Thanks very much for all your work and updates. I'm away today for a few days, but will have some time while I'm away I'm sure. I did try adding opencamera to the build.prop, but it made no difference to my version - just 2 cameras reported. I'm on 1.47.3 - are you using a customised version?
If you can find that pesky 108MP camera, you'll definitely be on my xmas list!
Keep Smilin'
Steve

I just build my own opencamera, can you post you build.prop?

Yes no problem. I'm new to build.prop so might have made a schoolboy error. The only addition is open camera:
Code:
#Expose aux camera for below packages
vendor.camera.aux.packagelist=org.codeaurora.snapcam,com.xiaomi.runin,com.xiaomi.cameratest,com.xiaomi.factory.mmi,net.sourceforge.opencamera
I've attached the full file renamed to .txt as a reference
