Phone's video camera
Hi,
I have XPERIA X10 with DiKeJ's Gaming ROM 2.3.3, which has the stock camera app.
Although the video camera records at 720p the results are really disappointing. The quality much lower than other HD cameras like those in the iPhone 4 and the Galaxy S, and it looks like the frame rate is lower too.
Is there any way to improve it?
Why u dont ask the creater of the rom?

Because the rom is not the problem, the video quality was the same with the stock rom and other roms I'd installed before I installed this one (some of them even had other camera apps and still there was no change).
I've searched for any solution but nothing I've found actually worked, so if someone know any mod or something else I can do that will improve my video camera I would like to hear.

Currently, I'm running froyostone and the camera app only displays quality as "3mpx" when in reality the HD2 has a 5mpx one.
Which android build allows full camera quality? Is this the type of thing a new zimage would fix or is it more of a build issue?
It's kind of driving me crazy.... I've built a mostly functional daily use build where everything but the full camera (and WiFi hotspot, which I know is being worked on) is working.
Also, what's the story with 720p video recording? Is the HD2s camera capable of that resolution?
If anyone would like to see the steps I took to make my daily use build, a tutorial is on my website but as a new user, I am unable to post links.

There are already builds with the full 5MP camera working (mattc nexusleo, for example).
Obviously the Leo's camera is able to take 720p videos, and in theory even 1080p, in fact 1920*1080 is something like 2MP... The problem is in codecs and CPU usage, but soon we'll have 720p as the N1 and the Desire have.. And probably we'll never see 1080p because it's too big to calculate proprely for the CPU, and it would take too much space on the SD, too...
mattc NexusLeo v1 has the camera working perfectly at 5mpx.
I don't want to use no sense ROM anymore. The interface is very crude.
Is there any solution for HTC sense ROM with 5MP camera?

Each to their own, but I think the Android 2.2 interface with LauncherPro is superb.... I am fed up with the HTC Sense look, its like WinMo (and I am not going back there again! !!! )
If you are willing to pay for an app then vignette will not only give you full resolution but will give you a much more robust camera app with a ton of features and much better jpeg compression

Hi guys as we know Ideos X5 can record 720p, but the quality (at least this in the factory ROM is not good).
So can someone post links to youtube to show video taken from custom ROM or from overclocked version, or just from diferent video camera app to seee if there is some diference from the stock ROM (smoother, better quality and so on..)

lgcamera app increases framerate, so does custom b160 rom. Some say that newest b137 rom increases quality even more
yeah the video quality sucks,with a lot of freeze...
I'm searching about performance and quality about the camera in this phone because people says that is the worst thing on it, even if he have the ability to 'make' HD 780p videos.
I get this on youtube: youtube.com/watch?v=Im0ZWXO0NWk
This is very poor
Can people put some videos according to ROM that are using???
And photos in different conditions (night,closer, bright, with/without flash, ...) ?
Thanks all,
Vít
Btw, imagine in this phone that quality sucks. Can that be improved by software or if the camera sucks, will suck for ever even if developers optimize the software in the most high level possible?
I know this seems like a question - but i just read on Engadget that NODO-GT was able to modify the camera to shoot 20mb and 0 compression.
I know the Galaxy SII has an 8 mp. But is it modifiable to reduce compression as well?

intresting
Hmmmmm. could be.
there's many hidden features in stock framework are not implemented.
video recording pause for example.
HTC stock camera contains a lot of conpression due to HTC Sense camera enhancement mode. Thats why disabling it to total zero would give out the best RAW image out of it so you can alter the pic yourself without the dirty software auto correction
Im not sure bout SGS2, seems like not many devs are interested in the camera part for SGS2. They keen towards audio more but not much progress has been made throughout the year

True - thought I think be devs - you mean Supercurio. I'm not really aware of anyone else.
I saw one Dev that did camera but for video recording (and sound). It would really be great to be able to fine-tune the camera for better quality and performance!
Hello Guys
We all know how poor is the AOSP's camera app by supporting features ( slow motion exc. ). And N4 has a bad video recording quality with 12mbps bitrate. We can improve it by a mod ( topic is at the second link i gave ) or with a program called LGCamera. Well there is no visible difference between 12mbps and 20mbps.
I made some research and found that these phones use the same Sony Exmor IMX111PQ image with N4.
- Samsung Galaxy S4 Active ( It supports slow motion feature )
- LG Optimus HD 4x
- LG Nexus 4
There are two topics i found that they are useful for this thread;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...vs-nexus-4-camera-recording-v0-2-avc-t2159076
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/development/mod-increase-camera-audio-video-image-t2039553
How can we improve the Camera App ? Is there any port from Samsung Galaxy S4 Active ?
I would love slowmotion feature. Its awesome on iphone.
First of all at the brochure of IMX111PQ it says that the sensor can take 720p at 60FPS.
And we know examples of Snapdragon S4 Pro can take 720p 90FPS videos. So where is the problem ? I think it's defintly software limitations.
They share the same hardware but different camera drivers, that's one of the reasons we have such poor camera quality... mostly is bad-optimised drivers. (the sensor has some blame on this too).
Our hope is to get new camera drivers with the new Google Camera that has been announced some weeks ago, if not, it'll be more like another camera that you can find at playstore.
Well it can be the optical stuff also ( optical elements ). But its not only the video quality. The camera app is very stricted. There is no options to select.

Bump. I like my N4, and before making my decision on going on another phone, the only thing I do not like is the camera. Takes longer to focus, bad image quality (unless i photoshop afterwards) . So isn't there any way of improving it?
What are your Wish list for the upcoming Lollipop release?
For me, I'd realy like to see the 4k / 120FPS (Timeshift Video) to be included. It would be nice to have this in the stock features.
As for the rest, I'm already getting more than 48h on a charge, so battery life is not an issue.
What do YOU wich to have on the Lollipop release?
Pumping Bass on headphones without tweaking the rom
I want updated UI (Xperia Z3 UI) for Z1, this would be awesome. And I would like to use 120fps timeshift and 4K recording as stock in our phones (I know they won't do that). AND A NO FORCE CLOSING CAMERA!!!

improve camera performance
the camera performance need to be improved. the camera hardware on z1 is great, but sadly under perform by it's weak software. with better and optimize software, i believe the camera on z1 can be on par with this year's current model
yeah..the camera needs improvments. and 4k and timeshift would be awesome
any news about when we will get the update?

Not possible with Z1 panel...
As for me i would like:
better camera (4k, 120fps video etc)
music quality improvements
walkman app integration with sony smartwatch 3 because i dont use google music...
stereo audio speakers (using both speakers like on Z2+)
smart calling features
ART
and ofc what everyone wants, easy root method because its gonna be done anyway
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Lollipop only runs on ART, so they don't have any choice on this!
Another vote here for improved camera performance. I think the stock Z1 camera has very poor results.
There is talk of raw camera output in Lollipop, so hopefully we get that.
I agree, with tweaks of latest roms, battery life is ok, and I'm happy with the UI, so just give us decent camera results, please.

You guys know 4k and double tap will unlikely come to Z1 right?
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Free mobile app
I don't need 4k since it's only for show off now. Slow mo videos too. I think it would be better if they just improved the camera performance and picture quality (taking advantage of the new apis) and add RAW shooting mode. As for UI Lollipop looks stunning so I think a GUI close to that would be perferct (sony's ui looks really outdated now). We'll see what we will get in a month when z3 recieves the update.
Better battery life!
Im sure that the z1 do much better with some tweaking and stuff.
And less bloatware
