[Q] 720p recording

It's been a while since this has been brought up, but I was wondering if there has been any current development regarding 720p recording within Android.
It was announced a few months ago that it was possible but never implemented into any builds.
I would take the buggiest build if the only working feature on it was 720p recording.
So has 720p recording been set on the back-burner until more important features are stabilized?

id think so, and also hardware limitations is a big factor as well... can the Leo's camera even capable of recording 720p video?

Yes it is. And if I'm not wrong informed I think the devs are working on it. But at the moment it is secondary. They first want to finish NAND. I guess it will be implemented then.

GRI40 720p Video Recording

For a few days now i'm on GRI40 from dsixda, just got my 16gb class 10 storage card. I would really like to have 720p video recording ! I tried some things all i got was a non working camera. So i just enabled 720p in the media_profiles.xml also upgraded the audio to 128Kb 24Khz. I get 1280x720 but only 16-17 frps, its set to 30 frps So i could use some help from all you great developers !

very soon will be integrated into the cyanongen!

This is through the Google Frameworks that they break and resume regularly and the fps is really not good using these frameworks so CyanogenMod uses HTC framework the same that is implemented by HTC in Desire etc and using that FPS goes around 28-30 on 720p, i dont think reverting to old stuff just to enable 720p is worth it, it would require a rehaul of frameworks and kernel and many features from camera wouldnt be there. I tried it already some days ago but knew it wouldnt be of any benefit

Thx for your reply, good to hear you tried it already
Im new to android/linux so was just playing around a bit with my phone
Still i would really like to take better recordings, just have to wait till i get my samsung galaxy s 2
I will take the downloads down for now maybe in the future we will get 720p

[Q] Defy - 720p playback

Since I can't write a question at the original post (Cause I'm a new member and don't have 10 posts yet), I'll write the question here.

Do the MOD works on MIUI Rom? (Is it CM based?)
Just remembering, I'm talking about the PLAYBACK, I, actually, don't care about the 720p recording... Just need the 720p playback.
Thanks,
K.

720p playback is enabled by default on miui (yes it is cm7 based). That patch isnt required.
Although playback isnt that great. Its pretty laggy

There is a way to play it without lag?
(Actually, i tried to play it before on the MIUI ROM, I thought that it don't play 720p because of the lag, hahaha )

You can reduce lag by:
1) overclocking to 1.1 or 1.2 ghz and set scaling to performance
2) get a better sdcard (higher class)

My Defy can play 720p videos encoded with MPEG4 codec very well yøµ ju$t need to keep the bit rate low below 2mbps

[Q] Video playback in .32 and .32 kernel based roms

I've noticed that the video playback in most .32 roms is really bad, compared to dzo's ICS.
I want to know if there is a .32 rom that is able to reproduce a 720p video at full speed?

Playback
When you're comparing .32 roms against Dzo's 4.0, you must know two things. Correct me guys, but I think (yeah, haven't tested it yet) that Dzo's rom is overclocked as a stock. Overclocking helps hardware acceleration. Dzo's rom is said to have better adreno driver, but I'm not sure of that.
Theres a one similar thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1575486

Ah, it probably as something to do with the driver, since not even overclock helps it

videos, videos everywhere
Btw, what kind of 720p video file are we talking about? I mean is it .mp4? Is it movie or just a video from youtube? Whats the bitrate (video and audio), framerate etc? I'm just curious to know...

Camera Features - ICS, JB vs GB

Hello everybody, I was thinking about our HD2's camera module, and I realized that we don't have the same features yet from ICS to JB as in GB.
Let me explain this concept better...
-----------------------------------------------------------
Pictures:
Well about pictures I think we can do almost they same things on all Android versions, a little exception for Barcode scanners that works at 99.9% and not fully working, but it is negligible
Videos:
Now we can consider two ways...
GB Videos
ICS and JB Videos
- GB Videos:
Ok, GB videos are the perfection, because we can record up to 720p @ 30FPS (maybe more but I never tried)
- ICS and JB Videos:
Well that's the real point of this topic, because I'm really bored to think that if I need to record something special, probly it could be a crappy video file.
Why that? Because on ICS and JB (never tried JB but I know that we have almost the same lib) the recording is up to 800x480 @15FPS
The resolution is not a real problem, because is enought bigger to watch a great video, but about the FPS??
I don't want to sound like a fanatic who just want to know that have the best in his own hands but he don't see any differences between two things....
But when I watch a video recorded @15FPS I see a stuttered video and it's really annoying, because on GB it was fantastic and the camera module works best it can do.
So my question is:
Can we hope in a better camera in the future?
I'm not saying better than GB but just as good...
HD2 is the King and I think that this can be possible sooner or later :fingers-crossed:

Did you manage to record 720p @ 30 fps on an HD2 in Android? What ROM did you use?

I think it was typhoon 7.2cm but maybe with other is possible too
And just once I recorded at 1080p lol but never happened anymore.
I use LGcamera to record because it allows to set different parameters

Thanks for the tip. I can't test right now because I switched to JB this morning, I would waste the rest of the day i I were to switch back to GB and back.
Lgcamera is great on JB though; the stock app can only shoot video at ~4 fps at the moment.

Really the stock camera on JB is just 4FPS?

You can't, that's BS. No ROMs properly support more than 480p @ 30FPS.

in which ROM did you just do such a thing like that...? :-?
or even 720p recording...? which rom...?

Trust me you can with cm 7.2 typhoon if I remember correctly... I recorded at 720p @30fps with LGcamera pro
Is a big step anyway to get 30fps even if 800*480

so there are roms that can record at 720p?

I agree with this guy......I just tried typhoon rom and it actually worked...720p @ 30fps video shooting....lgcamera pro....
