Recording capabilities and hopefully mods - Sprint Galaxy Note 4 General

This mod has been done, but still a WIP. Check it out here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/themes-apps/mod-camera-quality-mod-t2917501/
This may still be updated for developers, i just wont be updating it often
Back in the past I tried to increase the limit of the note 3s video recording size, I was able to increase the length of video but the file size limit seemed to always stop at 3.8GB (or in any case 4GB "4,294,967,296" FFFFFFFF). Now I would like to get this started back up fresh and new. I am asking for the help of developers to help me find what is causing the video recording to stop at 3.8GB if the note 4 has this same problem which I imagine it will.
If interested in helping please comment here or message me. I am seriously dedicating 99% of my free time to figure this out due to wanting to record longer than 13 minutes (most I could get out of 4k on the note 3).
Also hoping to increase quality of pictures and of all video modes. I know how to decomplie but not sure how to recompile or read everything in the file. So I am asking for others help on this project. I was pretty upset to fail on the note 3 but the note 4 looks to be another potential project.
Ill be out for the next few days for a interview but here are the smali files to look through. Maxfilesize or MaxRecording size were used in the note3 but i cant seem to find it in here so they might be using something different. Anyone know hex?

Ok here's what I've found so far:

so
0x80t 0x84t 0xet 0x1t = 0x1E8480 = 2000000 = 20Mbits
Not sure about this section yet
0x80t 0xbbt 0x0t 0x0t = 0xbb80 = 48000
so
0x00t 0x7dt 0x0t 0x0t = 32000 (According to alexhc18 that decreases background hissing)

Gonna tag a few who have helped in the past

Interesting. Does the stock Note 4 have a 5 minute limit like the Note 3? I record alot of videos for YouTube and I never actually planned to record in 4K.

Can someone tell me if there is a SamsungCamera.apk or SecCamera.apk under /system/apps? Don't want to root just yet but I want to start digging

Yes note 4 has 5 min limit
Just use open camera when you know you will need more. You can tell it to use ext sd you can also tell it to auto restart after x minutes AND you can increase the bit rate. Wicked nice app.

No to both of those files kevin. There is a samsungcamera3.apk and no seccamera at all

Someone sent me the samsungcamera3 apk and im hopefully going to tear it down tonight to get the 5 min limit extended to 15 minutes (hopefully) and the bitrate turned up

Nice. What we need is a file size limit not a time limit. Ie stop at 3.99gb or whatever the actual file system limit is.

file size aint gonna happen... unless someone knows how to rewrite 32 bit code to 64 bit

I know you can't record longer than 5 minutes on the internal sd because of the filesystem. However, has anyone tried formatting an external sd with ntfs, or ext4 to see if the camera app will read it? I think that might be the key to this problem.
quick edit: I would try it myself, but I'm still looking for a 32gb microSD I dropped in this room last week. Damn my decision to paint my walls midnight blue, and lay down dark bamboo laminate flooring. Great for a computer room.....bad for finding anything dark that's dropped......grrrrrrrrrr

Heres the thing. Its not a filesystem limit. It is a ffffffff limit which means 4gb. That is 32 bit and the max file size. The recording time is set to 5 minutes but in all reality 5 minutes is actually around 1.4gb. I can set the record time to 6 million minutes but as long as there is a 32 bit limit of ffffffff its not possible to go further. I have a 128gb sdcard. Now if youd like to help there are a few framework files i need to actually start ripping this apart to start looking at it

framework-res, twframework-res, and SystemUI.
I need those from system

I couldn't find systemui but have the other two files for you:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/yt0kidzmiymcj52/AACZQCMz3zemSKRuAfa5vCfLa?dl=0

Here is the systemui
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ux90k5hdroebxfq/SystemUI.apk?dl=0

On my device 5 minutes usually ends up around 2.8gb ???

I am interested in this. I am planning to upgrade my YouTube channel to WQHD, not going 4K till smartphones come in 4K. So dropping the 5 minute limit for WQHD would be handy.

Added some info to the 1st post

Found all points to increase jpeg quality, video quality and video length!

I was testing WQHD and found that i can get around 22 minutes into a 4 gig block or around 180 megs per minute.
This mod would be so helpfull allowing me to increase the time limite to 22 minutes.

Bubble Breaker

Hi does anyone know how top alter the stats in Bubble Breaker, a friend of mine has just beaten my high score and i want revenge ive been trying for ages to get near their score of 1732. I have found teh file Bubble Breaker.Dat but cant seem to edit it anyone any help pls.
:lol:
Just practice and your scores will improve....don't cheat
bubble breaker
Ha Ha my sister in law's top score is over 10,000 points :shock: i know OMG mine however is a lowley 780 not that great really but you should be able to smash your friends score :idea:
No way can you score 10,000 points on the standard game on its impossible, whats other peoples top score.
1622. Best game while at work on the toilet. :roll:
Mine is like 1200... My girlfriend plays religiously and she got somewhere in the 1700s. Yeah, we're lame and sit at home at night and play bubble breaker.

my best game of 'jawbreaker' (the old windows pcc2003 version) was just slightly above 2000 points. That was back when my axim was useful.
Come on someone must know how to edit the dat file so i can piss my mate off.
bazzert,
Don't listen to Molski. Why spend hours trying to beat your friend when you can make him mad in a couple of minutes. You wil need a hexadecimal editor, I guess you could do it on the wizard but it's easier on your PC with ultraedit or whatever you use. As you correctly guessed the high scores are stored in \windows\bubblebreaker.dat. Make a copy of it somewhere in case you mess it up badly...Open the file in your hexadecimal editor
You have to write down your high score, your average and the number of games. Let's say that your high score is 1732. Convert it to its hexadecimal value : 06C4. You have to look for the hexadecimal string x'C4060000' (notice the inversion : 06C4 has become C406) now, you think that you deserve 10000 points : 10000 = 2710 so just replace C4060000 by 10270000. Right, your high score has been taken care of. Now, let's multiply your average score by the number of games you played. You will get the total amount of points you scored. You score an average of 500 points and you played 10 times so 5000 points (88130000) that's the 4 bytes next to your high score in the .dat file. It's up to you to decide if you wish to change it to reflect your new score or may be you want to show that you score over 5000 points on average...
I will try to attach a copy of my Statistics. After only 3 games I have a high score of 10000 points using this method...
good luck!
pat12 this trick is f**king awesome!!!!!!
when my mate saw my highscore she just said what the hell!!
tanx..
the highest score I have achieved was 1964 once will prob. never get again
Mine is 2476
Dude you rock!!!

I am confused could you please tell me how to look for hexadecimal string?
my high score is 1818 which is 071A if i convert it into hexadecimal. I want high score of 3256 which is 0CB8. now someone please tell me what are the hexadecimal strings of 071A and 0CB8. Also how do i edit them in ultraedit
thanks
how exactly do you change the score becuse i opened up the bubble breaker.dat file and im confused form there my highest score was 1020
pat12
Thank you pat12
Playing megashift I Have been into the 5k range.. My wife still bested me into the 7k range though..
Also I Assume all the high scores are mostly on mega shift if they pass the 1k range.. Would have be be really lucky otherwise..
Why cheat? Just play the game and have fun...
I honestly don't get why so many people are trying to edit their high score to show someone up...what on earth are you proving?
can anyone help me pls ... my girlfriend did a score of 1992 and i want to change it to 3121 ... how do i do it because i really don`t understand what i have to do ... plssss heeeelllpppp

HD display in 32bit?

As per this post = http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=507897
Is this possible with this device?
I've looked at the point in the registry but i couldn't find it,can some1 who's a bit more familiar take a look please.
what is the benifit of making it 32 in stead of 16 bit excuse me for my low informations

The screen itself should support 24 bit or 32bit, but Windows Mobile 6 only supports 16 Bit color. I don't think we will get 32 bit until Mobile 7 is release.
Anyways, if you compare the high resolution of the touch HD with another phone that uses 32 bit color(Iphone), I think it still looks better.
And to answer the other poster, higher bit gives more colors. 32 bits= 16 million.

Hope this helps you guys to make a decision
Yes, this garbled bunch of text to us simpletons helps a lot
With that said, how does it compare to others out there?
Most of it kicks ass for a "midrange device".

Sorry, The FPS is nothing like the N1 (around 24 i think) but it still beats the iPhone (got that from Nena.apk). And midrange is not quite what this device really is. I think it would be low High range. once root hits we will see dramatic improvements with this device. CPU will go up to 998 at least, and the GPU (i actually got it up to 18fps) may also increase if we can find out WHAT fracking GPU actually is, lol. The garbled mess is just the output from GLbenchmark.apk. I ran the entire test which puts the phone out of buisness for about 15 minutes, but someone had to post this. I have played every 3d game in the market on this phone and it played them all quite nice. I can get it to play 720p video but it skips and nly gives a frame here and there, this i hope will also change. need swap and apps2sd.
Hah, I know I know, I was bustin your balls. The garbled text I could understand, but I figured a little more explanation would help for the masses of others where that info would not register at all.
I totally agree though. Luckily, when I heard this phone was available, I went right to the store and played with it, without hearing anything else about it. I fear that if I would have heard all the talk about it being mid-range, I may have never given it a thought and just stuck with my G1 until something else came. I think this thing performs very well, and my only gripe is the internal memory being hogged up by Sense. BUT, even with it, it is still pretty snappy. I am actually really happy with the video quality of this phone.
I am currently running an Evo and the Slide (also have an n900, HD2 and a Pre). The Slide with its modest specs on paper runs MUCH smoother then the Evo (flame suit activated). I don't know if it has to do with the 30fps cap on the Evo or what but I noticed it almost immediately when I received the slide.
The EVO may have the higher res larger screen and snapdragon processor but man HTC and TMobile worked wonders with this Slide. I have been very impressed. And this thing is know we don't represent the vast majority of the public when it comes to our perception of devices. Alot of the niggles (wow did I just use niggle that in a sentence?) things we notice most people don't. Having said that my wife immediately recognized the difference in smoothness.
Here is hoping the EVO framerate is fixed but yeah this thing doesn't run like a mid range device. Too bad the slide action isn't as smooth as it could be.
The slide action smoothes out. I have had mine for about a month now and it slides quite nicely now.

I have not even used the slide function, Swype is pretty sweet and very functional. the terminal is the only place i have needed the real keyboard.
On a side note------
It is weird but i hated the Sense UI, i am using Helix launcher, it runs better and coming from a p4w3d G1 it is much more user friendly. What i wanted to say is that with helix i get a much better feel and less lag. the sense UI has actually given me 2 acore crashes so far, i have had no problems with the Helix. also to let everyone know that if you add a contact to MyFavs and then remove that contact, in Sense UI it deletes that contact from your contact and all its linked profiles. i had to re friend my fiance and brother in google, FB, twitter and the whole 9. Not cool!

This was pretty much the same with the G1 also. It just needs to settle to actually being opened and closed and it will feel very nice. I know mine is already starting to get that feel and I love it.

class 6 8gb benchmark results in WM, looking for some1 with a class 10 16gb for tests

I have searched these forums but haven't found any performance results in the OS so I tested my class 6 card (ridata 8gb) in pocket mechanic.
I would like to upgrade to a 16gb card but can't decide if it is worth to upgrade to a Kingston 16GB MicroSDHC 16GB Class 10 card. I am not sure if the HD2 can benefit from a class 10 card (for a faster Android). So if anyone has a class 10 card, can you test it using pocket mechanic here? It is free for 30 days.
I found these results on a french site but they seem quite ambitious.

attached are my results, low level tests didn't work for me. What does low level mean?
If i see that benchmark,a class 10 would not help you.
I also have a class 6 from sandisk,and it does a max of 18mb/s in windows.
I see that you get not 18mb/s in the device,so i think that a class 10 is not faster,atleast not in the device.
Just a theorie,i dont have a idea what the max writing/read speed are for the HD 2 himself?
Anyone?
My results

I have searched these forums but haven't found any performance results in the OS so I tested my class 6 card (ridata 8gb) in pocket mechanic.
I would like to upgrade to a 16gb card but can't decide if it is worth to upgrade to a Kingston 16GB MicroSDHC 16GB Class 10 card. I am not sure if the HD2 can benefit from a class 10 card (for a faster Android). So if anyone has a class 10 card, can you test it using pocket mechanic here? It is free for 30 days.
I found these results on a french site but they seem quite ambitious.
Hardware perf index = 851.67
perf filesystem index = 2153

I have a class 10 16gb.
Downloaded Pocket Mechanic 2.99.283, installed it in Winmo 1.66 fre, no extra apps.
Running Benchmark on my sdcard give me always an Winmo error, choose do not send to Microsoft, but let me continue tests. Here are results:
File system read test (unbuffered) 14.58 MB/sec
-----------"--------- (buffered) 18.50 MB/sec
-----------"--------- (unbuffered) 1.26 MB/sec
-----------"--------- (buffered) 6.88 MB/sec
File system general test 12.49 operations
Hope this help.
Hmz,so i will stay on my class 6 card.
Or some 1 with a class 10 that runs this test,and comes above 18mb/s

thanks for the feedback, it seems the 50+ euros in price difference are not worth it, I will stick to a TeamGroup 16GB MicroSDHC Class 6

You're right, class 10 is expensive about 121.-Sfr, and not obviously more performant than a class 6.

Droid Turbo PVS bin

What is the PVS bin? It is a known fact that not all semiconductor chips leave the factory equal because of complicated baking process, and for most expensive complex articles like CPU and GPU manufacturers introduced a sorting practice called "binning". Qualcomm also has such scale for their chips, that consist of PVS value range from 1 to 15, to aware Android software how many voltage it should apply to CPU on a certain clock to run error free. The bigger PVS value is, the lesser power required to run CPU stable. So, the story is about energy effectiveness.
Please, share your Droid Turbo PVS bin in a poll.
How to know your bin: use file manager to go to the path /proc/cpu/, and open file msm_acpu_pvs as a text.
PVS bin value is stored as a hexadecimal, so when you see a letter instead of a digit, convert it to decimal like: A=10, B=11, C=12, D=13, E=12, F=15, and vote in the poll above. Thanks! )

LOL. Sorry, added poll lately ) Mine is 6.
Voted. Mines 8.
Does this essentially mean I can undervolt more before the device becomes unstable and reboots, than someone who has a PVS value of let's say 2?

Yes. Probably, your SoC CPU cristal with "8" was in the center of semiconductor wafer, and mine "6" was somewhere closer to the side
The difference in voltage applied not so big, I guess, from 0 to 20mV max in your favor.
As for the "2" CPU, it is tougher, and will be auto driven by higher voltage. Or we set it manually by installing custom kernel with voltage tune support, and try to earn your effectiveness. But then, again, you can start manual control too, tuning voltage down, and Turbo with "2" will suck (

Interesting! Thank you for the explanation! So I guess that's why I'm able to undervolt -70mV without encountering stability issues, where others would get reboots if they did the same.
Mine is 6 and was written as digit
I have a 64gb turbo with 2 :_( :_(

Mine was 6 (which I voted-in)
My wife's phone is 4 (which I cannot vote-in because the poll won't let me vote twice)

) I can't double vote too, having 7 pcs by the hand. PVS bits on them are: PVS4 - 1 pcs, PVS5 - 4 pcs, PVS7 - 1 pcs, PVS9 - 1 pcs.
