ipaq 514 camera video settings - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

I was browsing inside WM6 registry keys for Camera on my Ipaq 514.
\\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Pictures\Camera\OEM\VideoProfile
So here you can find 3 different profiles not just that you can select in Camera/Video options Quality MMS 176x144.
I have not much experience with WM6 but every not so ordinary user is asking himself, can this option be tweaked to make some bigger resolution videos.
1.3 MP camera is in my opinion not a limit to do at least 320x220, only if OMAP proc running at 200Mhz cant take it!
Different encoding codecs?
If similar post exists somewhere please email me grga003(at)gmail(dot)com

Vario video tweak?

Is there some kind of tweak to raise the video resolution to 320x240 or something? something in the register maybe?
looking for this tweak too...
It should be great if someone knows how to do this.
this is just an asumption...but i dont think it can be done...if the hardware (screen) is only capable of 320x240....but i have no idea..just a guess :idea:
Sorry if there is a misunderstanding: i am not talking bout the SCREEN but the CAMERA
The Cam itself has the needed resolution, CPU (even NOT overclocked) should do it too (as video preview while in single-picture mode is smooth enough)...
If its not possible to tweak the registry for that - then maybe a standalone software could do that?
theres a camerca tweak...search for it....but it doesnt do much....makes it a bit brighter or something along those lines
Use the tool "CoolCamera"... there you can make better pictures, increase videorecording - resolution and even use your Wizard as a webcam...

Someone said this rom can work on magician, but this is not proved.[/url]
Could you explain how to load the flash.dio file onto the magician?
people try it out and make it work.I trying to keep posting reply to keep it on top of the recent activity so that more & more people . see it and try it out and atleast we can use it as wm5 pda in our free time . and bluetooth and radio will also work.let's hope so . i cannot afford to spend another around $800 dollars(inr 32-35000) for a while and there will be lot more people like me there are hordes of people who are still with magician .otherwise wm2003 se provides everything . persistent storage is useful, push mail is overhyped I wonder if somebody would miss anything if they direct email client to check email on their own on their pop3 account every minutes . I do it with flexmail 2007 trial and phone alarm trial cuts in automatic 3 minutes
This version includes a flash application. not sure it runs with Magician.

C'Mon people once the most and still most beautiful PDA phone because the prophet and hermes( with lot of buzz because of umts,hsdpa, ) still continue on the same design lines. The phone which which made ladies at home also taking kindly to the PDAs phone and which stopped making people feel embarrased about holding the brick to their ear and talking , IS IN SERIOUS NEED of attention for it's survival trying to get to WM5 and there is possibility now , a real possibility .
come on people it will be a milestone
wm5 magician
Hey Cxh, share your experience .Did you flashed the on your magician or is it a hearsay
I saw from http://bbs.pdafans.com/thread-256498-1-1.html,
maybe it's a joke
keep the post up!! I'm downloading the ROM file right now: but from the size I can presume that it will be a CE rom only..
but 262k colors.. hmm.. will it be fully compatible?? :?
Im in, been trying to find a way to load the rom on the magician, no luck till now. I´ve seen acer uses flash.dio file but the magician doesnt. Also looked at the file and compared it with the nk.nbf and and nk.nb1 file in hexedit, cant seem to find a way to boot the magician with this rom. Hope u guys having better luck.
Did anyone ever get this file and if yes can they upload it to the FTP here?
http://dl2.it168.com/smart/rom/e850/060811.rar
This file was supposed to have an executable for transfering flash.dio
There are enough differences in this hardware (the e850) that it doesn't seem likely to work? If anyone actually got it going can they post pictures.
MiniSD - so I'm guessing the JAM SD will not work, (different driver)
Xscale - cpu is running slower, either lower bus or cpu multiplier, (overclocking might fix that)
Colors - since the LCD can do 262K this might actually work!
http://dl2.it168.com/smart/rom/e850/060811.rar
I'm downloading it right now!! I use shareaza.. lol but is an incredibly slow connection (5KB/s) 8) I will post on ftp as soon as I get it, maybe tomorrow.. :wink:
EDIT: I'm downloading even the one without installer: with the flasher is 32.12MB, without is 31.95..
keep the hope up!!
MocciJ
downloaded!! but I can't find out how to upload to the ftp.. permission denied!!
Anyway, I give it a look.. the flash is pretty incomprensible!! I'll post it here, along with the files missing in the flash.dio only package :wink:

http://bbs.pdafans.com/thread-256498-1-1.html anyone interested can translate from chinese (or what is it) to italian what they are saying?? For what I can understand, there many 99%, even a 1%, many sceptical, but don't really know if they made it.. nobody interested anyway?? Guys this is Windows Mobile 2005 on our magician!!
I'm too scared to try flash myself..

I'm happy to help, but don't know how

bad performance on gui operations

Hello,
I'm new with HTC devices, now I have a Trinity with Rom 1.15.405.
My old device was an Eten M600. Well, even if the Cpu is the same, I feel a bad performance on all gui operations, such as menu opening, tapping reactions, keyboard response...
Is this normal? Any hope it can be fixed in next roms?
Possible fix
I too have a Trinity for some weeks now and I understand what your saying this is possibly todo with the ROM on the device i.e it's still needs fine tuning and performance should improve with each subsequent ROM update - I hope!
Try using a registry hack to improve performance... just a suggestion but try using the following file - definately helped with mine.
This doesn't seen to help..
Another idea for you
I too am always on a mission to improve performance even if it isnt broken I try and fix it if you catch my drift, and have soft and hard reset my device over 200 times in the three weeks that I had it. So I have almost everything to improve performance generally. I found that installing the first file in the first post helped, try installing the attached file it contains alot of registry tweaks that I have played with and these have also helped further I would say it has improved general performance by around 20% and have made my Trinity a pleasure to use.
Turn on the following after you have installed it (you will need .Net Compact Framework installed as well to run this software):
0. Speed up the Display (this really works well)
1. Optimum Cache Size for WM5 (this really works well)
2. Increase the transfer rate in SD/MMC cards (this really works well)
3. Max TCP windows size
The rest are more general tweaks but add to the flavour...
4. Optimized cache option for Terminal Service Client
5. Smooth scrolling in Pocket Internet Explorer
6. Allows users to synchronize the device clock with NIST Internet Time Service (ITS).
7. Enable ClearType in Landscape
8. Wake Up PPC in full Power Mode (not sure about this one but won't hurt)
9. Disable Bitmap caching (not sure about this one but won't hurt)
10. Move PIE temp files to any of your storage cards
11. Animated Windows (this makes the GUI feel faster as you get some action)
NB. The trial Version will run 3 times enough to do your fixes but then you will need to buy it to further modify or revert to original settings.
Let me now what you think.
More tweaks not just for GUI but good performance
More general tweaks...
Make A2DP output stereo (joint stereo by default - why I wonder? well heaven knows) and change sound quality to excellent, these tweaks made a bloody big difference to listening to music via BT Headphones.
You can also unlock and mount the Extended ROM
Download and install the following (Hermes Registry Tweaker) - http://www.theunwired.net/?itemid=3311
I'm more and more disappointed by Trinity. Installation of Compact NET Runtime gives "out of memory", even if it seems to install anyway. I have 33 MB Storage and 17 MB Ram free memory after reboot (soft reset), no apps are running.
I tried a wmv video encoded with Pocket DVD on both Trinity and M600. Well, on the M600 it is much much smoother... My sister's K-Jam (Wizard) plays same video better than Trinity, even if it has only a 200 MHz cpu.
Hmmm curious
I have had most devices from HTC - and to be honest trinity has impressed me greatly, especially after all the tweaks.
My Trinity plays video encoded for 640x480 (vga screens with no issues it cuts straight through it) including Divx, Avi, Xvid, WMV using CorePlayer, I am suprised that you are having this problem.
Why don't you do a hard reset then install all your apps onto storage except for .NET CF. Then do all the tweaks I suggested I am hoping you then end up with one of the best windows Mobile 5 Devices out there with 3G.
Don't give up it wll be worth it - especially when they enable GPS as well.
I'm not alone:
http://www.corecodec.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=29&expv=0&topic=3688.msg21932
Curious
I think I will run some benchmarks! Results posted very soon.
It has a desturbing sound on the higher tones and the bas is muffled. I tried the fit4 program and changed to the best quality, it sounded a little bit better but it was hard to hear, beacuse now the music skips even more thnat earlier. You know you ger music for a while, it cuts of for a second and then comes back. Now it does this every 5 seconds.
Very sad
Guys am I using the same device??? I don't have any of these problems apart from the occasional skip if I am surfing the NET!
ROM HTC__001 1.15.405.5
Trin100
I am baffled.
I'm attaching Spb Benchmark tests, go here to visualize them:

Strange... my trinity works perfect. Its fast and reliabel. What today Plug-ins do you use. On all my pocket pc I noticed that most of performance issues were caused by today plug ins. Remember: They are always running in background...

Will the fit4cat tweak enable a2dp stereo as well as improve the a2dp soundquality, or do I need another tweak for enabling the stereo?
Thanks!
Use this to enable True stereo!

Hi, here u go, use the attached file to enable TRUE stereo. Sounds much better. The fit4cat tweak just improves performance.
Thanks a lot, my friend! Much apprechiated.
see this spb benchmark result

what a performance
Try disabling the custom phone skin and use the standard OS skin. You'll lose caller prediction, but on the Universal (already a fast phone) it made a big difference.

How can I do this?

Fix your ATI ImageON woes with this patch!

So, after a day with my AKU3.3 equipped 8525, Platform Builder, IDA Pro and HexCmp, I believe I've finally gotten to the bottom of the ATI ImageON acceleration bug. This is the bug that causes the screen to "tear" during accelerated video playback using CorePlayer, TCPMP or other players that take advantage of the ImageON hardware acceleration. Once this bug is occuring, the entire screen is unreadable until you somehow exit from the video player.
Note that even after this patch is applied there will still remain some "pixelation" artifacts. However, there's a great thread on CoreCodec.com that can be found here. The thread explains how to resolve most of these. Consider that thread "extra credit" though since all in all, this patch alone resolved about 90% of the ATI issues with my AKU2.3 test device (running the South African 1.35 TyTN ROM).
It was a buffer problem you see....
I've attached a cab which modifies the ATI DDI setup file to the AKU3.3 parameters. I've experienced great results with CorePlayer when using this on an AKU2.3 hermes. I only had to check all the boxes in CorePlayer's ATI IMAGEON setup page. By Default, 2 aren't checked:
"Green Tint" bug compensation
Keep ATI driver active (just test)
I believe it is the second parameter that corrects an out of memory crash when a clip is played in full screen mode the second time.
The above settings are workarounds however since the full benefits of this fix will only be available if the setup file is used in conjunction with the latest versions of the ATI drivers. Unfortunately, these drivers must be "baked" into a ROM. Do not try to install these drivers! You will brick your device if you do and a hard reset will be necessary to fix. Install the attached cab file instead and wait for the chefs here to build the new drivers into their next ROM release.
ROM Chefs: you can find the files that make up the release here
Delete the old versions and bake all three files in the zip into the /windows directory.
Now to the Technical.
ATI released 3 files as part of their DDI update: ace_ddi.dll, ahioem.dll and a hidden little configuration file named atihwtbl0.txt. It's this little text file that contains the magic since ace_ddi.dll uses it to configure several settings at startup. I haven't fully analyzed the changes yet and am in the process of doing this now but at first glance they appear to either move or increase the size of several video buffers in memory. It almost looks like there was an overlap issue with audio buffers
Anyway, enjoy this little patch!
As always, while I'm pretty sure that this patch will rock your ATI world, I take no responsibility for any "undocumented features" that may crop up. I've only done minimal testing on the TyTN 1.35 ROM so far. It must be right though... there weren't any syntax errors.
Installation instructions:
Download the attached CAB file
tap to install (it will ask to reset your device)
note: you must install this to your device. The patch won't work if you install it to a storage card.
If you experience side effects, removal is simple. From Settings->System->Remove Programs just remove "Sleuth's ATIFix". Be sure to reset your device after the uninstall finishes.
edit:
It's important to read the TyTN thread located on the CoreCodec forum. Here is the link to that thread. There's a lot of good information concerning the scope of this patch (which takes the form of AKU3.3 experiences) and what still remains to be done. In this thread, schriss does a good job benchmarking the ATI playback and also has some good suggestions, some of which I'm hoping will be implemented in future versions of CorePlayer (such as allowing a YV12 option for the ATI decoder). Also, as the thread points out, DivX decoding using the ImageON remains a challenge (like I said, my patch alone solves about 90% of the issues). Hopefully more will now be able to focus on this once the Hermes DDI setting modifications encompassed by my patch become ubiquitous.
i see you been busy to! thanks man.
Thanks Sleuth,
WMXL v0.30 will incorporate this fix.
Just tried, works perfectly! thanks!
(installed on WMXL.1)
Nice to hear Your post reminds me of something else:
Those of you running WMXL .2 already have the driver portion of the fix baked in. Installing this patch will give you full functionality.

since this patch also appears to be working with the older set of ATI DLL's, what's the "full functionality" what you're talking about? what functions are missing now? I didn't really see any differences playing with TCPMP with AKU3.3 and now with this patch on WM6.......
I experienced intermittent crashes on AKU2.3 when running full screen video if the driver wasn't set to remain active. This problem didn't crop up in my WM6 build that had the new drivers.
The problem appeared to be completely resolved in TCPMP/CorePlayer by simply checking all the boxes in the ATI IMAGEON setup screen however.
However, being a purist, I like to see the config file along with its matching driver running.
Lovely Jubbly! and Sleuth, thank you for all your time and hard work with this
Mike
WMXL extras updated sir. Bloody brilliant work!!

Same here but as Sleuth said it was more for fixing crashes in a sense, my cingular device running a wm5 rom without the new drivers now don't crash when using this patch, though ofcourse I still get garbled boxes when playing divx files when I enable acceleration, while x.264 plays perfect when set up right with or without acceleration enabled.
My softbank tytn running xdalive .20 runs good as well as before my device froze at times when using ati video with and without acceleration enabled playing fullscreen. I get a good 20% increase now being able to use it compared to DirectDraw. Thanks for the fix
thanks man...
we were all waiting for this to come
I installed the .cab to the device and checked the two default unchecked boxes on the ATI page in TCPMP.
I opened a divx file and the audio and video were off. I performed a soft reset and everything is now perfect. This is a great find.
Advanced encoders: check out the link to corecodec on post 1. There's a lot there regarding how to optimize encoding for the accelerator (plus a few odd quirks too).
Thanks man. I will test ASAP (now my TyTN is in the hands of my wife that is playing "Ladybugs" game. Nobody in the world is dare enought to even think in ask her for a five minutes check)
Admins do you think this is worthy of a sticky?? Im still trying to root around in the coreplayer forums to find a recommended bitrate/codec etc... to encode our vids into.
I just went through the coreplayer thread again. Perhaps you might want to pm schriss for his opinion on the corecodec forum. At any rate, it looks like DivX is still a problem for the ImageON so I would avoid encoding with codec that fttb . I don't know if its Coreplayer or Hardware though (suspect the former however).
I try to install that CAB on my DOPOD U1000, after reset never can boot up again need to hard reset the device, someone can help to fix this problem?
Thanks!
That's an HTC Athena simdao! This patch is Hermes specific. As you have determined, "Undefined results" can occur if you install this patch on a different device.
Slightly OT here, but does your Athena suffer from ATI based DivX rendering issues? What other ATI ImageON issues do you have with it?

The videos i have encoded using AutoGK, its good because i can just queu up the videos to encode and leave it running. Depending on the program i am encoding i set the filesize accordingly:
60mb for a cartoony show (family guy, futurama, simpsons etc...) approximatly 25 mins (so 2.4mb per min?)
120mb for a filmed program (friends, mythbusters etc...) again approximatly 25 mins (so 4.8mb per min?)
128kbps VBR MP3 for audio (fine for all movies)
fixed width of 320 (the program adjusts for the aspec ratio of the source)
XVid Mpeg4 (2 pass)
I used this encoding method since having success with TCPMP on one of the early iMate roms, since the South Africa HTC rom arrived all the roms since have played back on TCPMP/Coreplayer no problem with the rawframebuffer setting. Since the AKU3.3 test rom i have been using ATi Imageon setting instead and get MINIMAL artifacts onscreen with my files.
Worth a go???
Following mrvanx advice on this and another thread...
I used AutoGK and set parameters as follows:
fixed width 320
Predefined filesize 400mb
128VBR mp3
XviD Mpeg4 (2pass)
This was done on a DVD quality divx file, and produced a 400mb file which played back near flawlessly on the hermes, minimal artifacting, and much better quality than even my ipod! Great stuff
Thanks,

[REF] *Leo camera Hints & Tips*. Updated 19th December.

I started this hints and tips thread for the HD2 (LEO) as i like most others wasn't to happy with the default camera app that the HD2(LEO) had to offer, to be honest the camera quality was lacking in most areas. The purpose of this thread is to collate all tips and have them available within the first few posts as opposed to having to search for tips among the many pages and threads. Please submit additional tips and hints you have and I will update the first few posts.
you will need a registry editor to do most of these tweaks and their may also be .cabs attached to the bottom of the corresponding post to save the effort need when editing the registry. u can use apps like resco, memmaid, sktool to edit the registry or an app of ur liking
for best possible picture from the HD2(LEO) - you may want to use these setting, use with all mods i post here and you will be very happy with the outcome and possibly feel overwhelmed by the quality of your HD2(LEO) cameras like most ive share these with
WB - either auto or indoor light dependent on ambient light
iso auto - if in a very bright sunny outdoor type weather set this to 100 for best result
5M resolution
wide-screen OFF
touch focus OFF
super fine quality
contrast +4
saturation +3
sharpness +4
metering mode average
1). extrasuperfine quality
Go to HKLM\software\htc\camera\image\jpegquaity\superfine and replace the 5Msize value with 746028 (default value = 643628)
or install the extrasuperfine.cab or install BsB Tweaks 1.5

3). enable .BMP mode in camera
Go to [HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\P1 and replace the EncodeFormat value with 3
(not quiet working cant get it to stick auto goes back to jpeg in camera app, im hoping people can help me out alittle with this one)
4). improve camera recording quality of mpeg4-vga (boost bit-rate = less fussiness and pixels)
Go to [HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\recparam\MP4VGA and replace the BitRate value with 4194304 (default value = 2097152)
this will increase your video quality from 2100avg bit-rate to 4500avg bit-rate, leave fps set to 30 as when detail is high in video it causes major fps loss, so with this ur camera will run better than ever and also have improved image quality while recording in MPEG4 vga mode, going any higher in bit-rate will cause slower fps and offer no additional improvement over my posted tweak
please keep in mind that video size increases approx 2times of the default settings, so a 10sec vid normally cost 2700kb while the tweak costs 5500kb
im working on 720p, micro-modes, bmp files and also increased video quality so keep looking for updates daily
ADDED:
19/12/09 = new cab for improve camera recording quality of mpeg4-vga

I have tried all the new video modes but mpeg4 still gives best results?, does for me.
Wow, thanks for this great thread and useful hints! I'm really looking forward to 720p video recording! This would be awesome!!

Normally mp4 will always give the best results.
menus are active, still don't understand the quality ... good for me anyway ;-)
Hey, great work. This thread is something I would like to see sticky or linked in the wiki.
I am unable to select anything other than JPEG and BMP format. It then greys out. The registry entry mentioned above was changed with the cab. Anyone tell me the default value for this so I can change it back? I cannot uninstall the cab as it is not listed in programs.

Hi,
Could you please detail what this cab changes? I installed it and now cannot select anything other than JPEG and BMP. It allows one change then greys out.
Thanks.

the focus on this camera for light is controlled by this option basically
touch focus = spot = the overall light of the picture is dictated by the spot u select to focus on
center focus = center picture = the overall light of the picture is dictated by the center light in the picture
average focus = the picture takes all light form around the image and averages it out for one even picture,
so basically if u take a picture of a object that gives off light like a tv or light or sumat like this the touch focus, focuses on that object and the rest of the picture will be over dark and maybe even black, when average focus is selected it evens it out so u get to see all the objects in the light and dark evenly

The 3 modes all have their uses though, you need to work out when to use them. For example when taking a picture of a large plasma or LCD TV in the dark the touch focus is excellent. You end up with a very clear screen image and nothing else. If you try bto do the same with a 'better' camera phone, like a symbian you just cant get the same effect.

very true matey, for general images of say out doors or portraits the setup on post one i made is by far the best option but if you do intend to take images of brighter objects touch focus will give better results if you only wanna focus on that object
play with the settings is all i can recommend
thx for the video cab, awesome!
SD Card Storage Capacity official update
@ DAMIEN : Hey mate, I better ask first than ask too late... Do you think these (Yours, also future) tweaks won't have problem with the official ones? I ask because there's another one out - SD Card Storage Capacity - from HTC. I guess it has nothing to do with the tweaks, but you know... Thx devilman
