Solution 4 unlimited video record on android record over 4gb and no time restricted

Hi All,
i found solution for unlimited recording on android device, it has pros and cons so hopefully some programmer will come and modify the buildin camera apk.
here are solutions they are working perfects but the problem is the quality is no where close to the buildin cam apk.
1. lgCamera
2. Snap Camera HDR
3. moto x camera apk its free and in my opinion its quality better than the other 2.
so the problem of limited recording is not due to format fat32, because htc on buildin cam apk record 30 minutes and stops and its size is 4gb, but i have tried lgcamera was recording over an hours and its size was 5.7gb.
i do not keep it long, i hope some programmer modify htc one cam apk to record unlimit or auto splitted to 30 minutes duration, also modify its zoom default to the value of 50% because htc one cam is way zoomed out.
so if any genius person modify the camera apk then it will be best solution, it just need to override the default camera apk setting when some one modifying its camera apk.
some time when we have party i do not like to go and modify zoom setting and start record again every half an hour.
Thanks for any programmer who modify this and good luck with the rest for temporary solution.

Hi,
snap camera records 30fps with 20mbit in low light, but the result is darker then htc stock camera.

I could be off here, but since you said recording stops at 30 minutes, I think I have a solution:
In /system/etc/media_profiles.xml, there is a "duration=" setting for each encoder profile. This can be set to either 30 or 60, and currently all profiles except qvga are set to 30. You may be able to set this to 60 and be able to record up to 60 minutes. Report back.

You do realise that routinely changing the zoom is a terrible idea on the One?
It's a digital zoom, not an optical one, so all you are doing by zooming in is losing pixels - this is fine if you are shooting something and wish to zoom in for effect, but as a general rule if you want to get the best quality out of the camera, you should leave zoom well alone. This is especially true of the One as it doesn't have that many pixels to play with in the first place.

hello homeslice976
Thank you very much for the information you have provided. i have uploaded 2 screen shots of the xml file you have stated and also uploaded 2 xml file which are original xml file on my htc device, but i think the device must be rooted to replace those xml files? am i wrong?
if i need to root my device then i will try to do it later today as my connection is very slow right now.

Thank you Dave,
i will test to video one with zoomin at let say 40% and other will let zoom alone but i will crop the video to equivalent of 40% zoomin video, i will compare the 2 side by side and will report back the result.

yes you'll need to be rooted. you don't need to do anything with media_codecs.xml. Just media_profiles.xml.

zoomin htc one
hello Dave,
i have tested the video, i captured 2 video phone was at stable position, one without touching zoom and the other shoot was zoomed about 60%
then i cropped the one with 0 zoom to the same frame as the one with 60% zoom.
the result is as follows:
after cropping the video file from 1920 x 1080 became 775 x 425 well if i keep this size the file remain same quality but when i cropped back to
1920 x 1080 the quality is blury and no where near the original or the video was shooted with 60% zoomin.
so i believe the zoomin in htc one does not effect its quality as long as you are not zoomed extreme.
when you crop video and resized you will lose quality the same as zoomin, but all camcorders allow certain zoom without affecting quality, so i believe htc one zoomin is the same, but some video camera have advanced zoomin to go beyond limited for instance 72x advanced zoomin and the normal zoomin is 20x, so if you go beyond 20 you still zoomin further but you will lose quality and shaky footage.so the safe is to stay with 20x range.
all edited with after effects and even i did not export the out put, but after editing them compared them side by side, it is like day and night the quality differences between the 2 videos.
thank you though for information, i will try first to root my device and see if i can go beyond the limited recording.

hello again
i have changed those number to 60
i started from
<!ATTLIST EncoderProfile duration (60|60) #REQUIRED>
and each
<EncoderProfile quality="cif" fileFormat="mp4" duration="60">
so as you see all are in 60 minutes but no luck sofar i tried twice
1st record 25:39
2nd attempt records 26:04
both size are 3.79 gb in size
now i started recording again to see what is the the outcome if it is the same then i have to try to changed back to 30 at least its 30minutes, so i think it is the size limit thing
update: it is size limit issue, i checked again it says video size limit is reached.
i think it is be useful if some one try to write a code to state when ever the video reach limited time then start again automatically.
but thanks for the advice, i will let you know if i come with better solution..
thank you.

zindu

Sorry - that was just a theory anyway. I'll keep looking around for something else that might be limiting the file size.

Hi guys, this seems to be the only real discussion on this issue going on at all.
Has anyone been able to find a way around this limitation?

the problem is there are many know how to solved but they do not shared with us.
only who does not know and they spread a word over the net and same crap like, it is due to format type, let me tell you i have solved mine on htc one no problem what so ever until i stopped manually.
i am not a programmer but currently when i have time i try to learn java then i will after that develop simple app and progressing from there and will help the community but that take up to 1 to 2 years.
any way how i solved mine? i do not know my self but i did 2 things will shared with all of you.
1. i rooted my htc one device, there is plenty guide on this forum.
2. i decompile my camera apk and i change a picture and i can not remember if i mess little with codes or not but i doubt i did, so i deleted the original camera apk and replaced with my modification.
i will be glad to share my camera apk with you if you think it might be due to this modifications, i tell you what? i never update the system software now, because i am afraid i will lose the unlimited recording, so it works for me but i do not know how, but in future when i understand java programming i will help every one in this community.

Zindu, thank you so much for sharing.
I emailed Google about this here is the response I got:
"Thank you for contacting Google. I appreciate your patience with me as I look into this issue. It seems as though the limit placed on the video data file of 2gb is written into the android operating system. This is in effect on all types of android devices.
I have researched a few video control apps, they follow the same rule and stop at 1.9-2gb. At this time I do not believe there is a work around for this issue. I do not have software update information available either. Some of the research I have done points to a possible legislative law that limits the video recording time of mobile devices as it takes away from video recorders."

pal first thing you do undock the cam apk from the bar dock on your phone, see if it is working, what i mean by the dock is the bar on your phone on the bottom which have space for 4 or 5 applications, so undock cam apk from this dock and used on the main windows view.
if that does not work root ur phone and undock cam apk from dock bar.
if both does not work then if you have htc one i will upload my cam apk so you can install it on urs.
mine was limited to 4gb now its unlimited in size and durations, a programmer can develop application to over ride the camera system settings, so if i learn java in future my first apk will be try to over ride system setting.

I have a Nexus 5. My camera app is not docked. What should I do next?

if its not docked then rooted anyway see if it works?
what i did i undocked, rooted, modified a pick and some codes in xml file, and it works for me so i do not know which step caused the fix, but you need to root your device if you want to replace system application on your phone.
try to root your device first and try to modify xml file see if it works, if it was htc one i could help because i can upload xml and apk file.
that is all i know for now hope someone who have better knowledges to help you out but i hope i learn java within a year or too then i be able to fix this issue.

So far this has been the most insightful information. Still, no idea how to overcome something this stupid.

Ikr, it is pretty ridiculous. Zindu is right though, it's simple enough but the people who can figure it out don't care. Most people just don't seem to need their phone for our purpose.
My workaround has been SVR Pro:
-Upsides -It will record in fragments until your storage is full.
-You can use your device while recording
-You can record with the screen turned off !! which is epic for battery life!
-Downside -you loose like a second of video between the fragments

Joying 8" Single Din - Custom Boot logo?

EDIT - The Solution!
Place a 1024x600 jpg inside a folder called "mycar" on the root of the SD card. You will be able to select the custom image on the last screen in the Car Mark menu where the garbled instructions are.
Original Post:
Hey all,
I recently purchased the Joying 8" Single Din Android 4.4.4 head unit. (JY-UQS01)
So far so good, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to get a custom boot logo on it. I am going back and forth with their support and they are really trying to be helpful, but there's a language barrier making things difficult.
So, has anyone done this? All i can gather is that you're supposed to put a file on the root of the sd card that is 1024x600 or higher. I've tried different filenames, different types, and the unit doesn't seem to see it. I can see the files in the file explorer app with no problem. When I go to the setting screen to select a logo, I can only choose from the built-in ones.
Any help, much appreciated!
Oh - and if anyone knows how to change the boot animation, I'd love to hear that also!

Not been able to do that either on mine. Luckily the built in mazda logo is quite nice.
Also have you noticed that 3rd party launchers (nova, etc.. ) don't work on our head units.

Haven't noticed but also haven't tried. I think the stock launcher is quite good for the purpose of a head unit.
I also have it set up to connect to my phone's hotspot and then launch AutoMate, so I spend most of my time in there

You will need to go to Settings>Factory settings> and type in 126 as password you will find the settings for the boot animation and other good stuff in there.

Thanks but this doesn't apply to the head unit I'm talking about

Solution found, updated the OP for future visitors.

gif as boot logo
This was really helpful, thank for updating the thread with the solution!
Does anyone perhaps know how to change it to an animated boot logo, e.g. by the means of a .gif? I have seen several video's of other Joying units having an 'animated' boot logo, a light effect over the car manufacter's logo for example. I am able to make these effects with Photoshop into a .gif or whatever but they are not recognized when put in the mycar folder.

Haven't figured out how to do the boot animation yet, I think you may need to root to do it on this unit

Hey, question for you on the single din joying: This is the unit with the screen that clips onto the head unit and can be moved up or down by moving the clips on the screen, right? Do you like it? Is it a good solution? Is it held on well? no creaking or anything?

Custom Boot Logo
Hmmmm I don't seem to have the logo showing in " last screen in the Car Mark menu", all the various logos but no custom log, and mine has no "where the garbled instructions are." Its UL138N2 on 6.0.1 upgrade.
I have the custom logo in the folder called "mycar" on the root of the SD card, and I used a program t make sure it was sized correctly. But it does not appear on the logo pages.
Any thoughts?

Display size setting

I have an ebay unit. RK-A701 is printed on the face of it. Theres not a whole lot of info on the web that I can find on this specific model.
It is running 4.4.4
Chip: RK3188
7" display
1200x600 resolution (that's what the description in the add says)
But it seems to me that the display is 800x400, everything just seems very large on the screen. I found the password to enter the factory settings, which is "66668888" and while going through there I found a setting to change the display size from 7" all the way up to 10". I didn't try to change it yet because I don't want to end up not being able to change it back if it ends up not displaying correctly. So I wanted to see if anyone knows anything about this setting? Ive been searching for some details about this setting but I cant seem to find anything.
With a 7" display, if I changed it to 10" will I mess it up? This may be a dumb question, and I apologize in advance. Im just very new to the android head unit scene. So im trying to learn as much as I can without bricking my unit.
Thank you!

I changed the display resolution of my android headunit to 1200x600 and only around 3/4 of the screen was shown. I panicked because the button to revert the changes back got hidden on the bottom right of the screen. Thankfully, I was able to restore the original screen resolution. Not sure if the same will happen to your unit, but based on what I experienced, keep your default screen resolution.

Thank you for the response! I tried messing around with the screen size after figuring out how to get kingroot to work. It actually didn't change anything.
What I am having trouble with is keeping a live wallpaper set. Everytime I restart it the wallpaper resets to default

Hey. You need a root, get root, looking build.prop /system/build.prop file, edit it in the PDI line set 200 or 160. This will change the resolution of your screen. More https://4idroid.com/kak-izmenit-kolichestvo-tochek-na-dyujm-dpi-na-ekrane-android-root/ use google translator. Do not forget to install rw/r/r build.prop file after the change and editing, and then reboot the device. To edit, you can use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer&hl=ru

HELP
Okay so ive encountered a problem. I installed nova launcher, and slightly adjusted the DPI on my unit. BUT now the unit boots up like it normally would but the homescreen is blank! The screen still reacts to touch, I can slide the notification bar down Bluetooth and wifi still connect to my phone. But no access to settings or ANY apps so I can set the default launcher!
I have been unable to boot into recovery either. I cant figure out how to do it. I'm at a total loss on what to do now. I really need some help on how I can possibly fix this. Would hooking my laptop up via USB allow me to execute commands through ADB to force a reset? Or uninstall a certain app? Ive never had to do something like this before so I'm open to try anything at this point!:crying:

I have two questions:
1. How do you go about changing the resolution?
2. How do you go about to factory reset the HU?
I have updated mu HU and now it is only showing part of the screen as it is displaying in a different resolution. The HU is a Alps FF5000 Model 8227L and I have tried a lot of different roms, but with no success.

I have the same problem, screen showing 3/4 only of the whole screen the rest is hidden... any solution anyone?? pleaseeee

i have the same issue what to do

Do you have hammer

Please help identify this Headunit (Android 6.0.1, Allview Quad T3 1.2GHz, 2GB Ram)

Attached some pictures of headunit, button and menu layout, as well as CPUX data. I suspect it's some kind of Joying but can't find it anywhere...
It's a 9" unit, 1024x600 resolution and a pretty locked down system menu
Thx for hints!

i think i found it, it's one of the models that "youmecity" store sells on aliexpress...

Hi, yes this is youmecity.
I just got this (or very similar) head unit and it's fantastic!
Do anybody know how to ROOT it without flashing?
Thanks in advance

try kingoroot or kingroot....

@up: I tried, didn't work

Hi, I got apparently the same unit: Silverstrong quad core allwinner t3 w. android 6.01
There is not a lot available yet.
I rooted it with Kingroot.
App's are pretty lame, but hardware seems to be OK.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an.../silverstrong-quad-core-allwinner-t3-t3575024

i got new FW (25.03 - along with MCU and config update) from chinese support and it fixes the following:
- radio app now displays RDS text instead of MHz frequency, also FM presets saved as text but fewer chars than actual station name...so some may end up truncated
- voice-over-navi now works. Front speakers stop music to play navi announcements and then revert to music, while back speakers keep playing music. Not as elegant as proper volume fade-out/in, but does the job
- more settings & options
- slightly better wifi reception (can be subjective, couple of dB according to wifi analyzer)
what ended up worse than previous FW:
- PPI or DPI changed, can't figure out exactly how/what, but text in apps (non native ones!, like waze, poweramp, weather, etc..) is now smaller than before.
- top notification bar is now present all the time, so apps don't run "fullscreen" anymore. Maybe this is why text is smaller, since it's smaller area vertically...
- overall screen real estate seems to be offset downwards a bit (couple of milimeters), options (icons with text, like in poweramp) have text cut in half, kind of hidden below bezel.
Things on my feedback list that i gave them for next FW update:
- introduce "folder" view in the default music app, not just "artists, songs, playlists, etc.."
- fix "Handbreak" info in the carinfo app It is now completely the other way around: when handbrAKE is not engaged, it shows red icon ON...when it's engaged (pulled) it shows white icon OFF...wtf
- revert text size to old FW (probably make apps fullscreen can fix that?)
- fix screen offset
Overall very satisfied with the unit, the support guys (or gals?) do respond relatively in good time and impressed with rolling out new Firmware with fixes that i feedback to them in the first place!!

You can give a link to FW

hello, can you upload car info.apk?

My unit does not turn off with car - it stays always on! I checked after 2 hours after activating car alarm and it always stays ON! I'm worried about my car battery...

Thanks, it worked!

On my unit, ACC and B+ were switched on the iso plug. It means some settings were not stored when switching off the unit (beep on keys, radio presets). After putting B+ and ACC wire on the right iso positions, everything worked perfect.

Dear @zerozoneice
Could you please share the Car Info.apk file from your android Head Unit.
Process to Extract App from Head Unit :
You can use APK Extractor, download from Playstore. Once you open the APK Extractor App then select CAR INFO App from the list and then click extract.
Or download the attached APK Extractor and share your CAR INFO app.

I mean about the below picture...

Hi, do you know how to update Android on this thing?
I received new firmware from the supplier - two files: "mcu_auto..4" + "os_update_auto..0"
There is an instruction that these files should be copied do USB stick to the main folder without changing the names.
After attaching USB stick, Android should detect update files presence and show confirmation for the user.
But nothing happens when I connect this drive. I can browse files and I see update files. But update does not trigger.
I don't know what to do else... I tried reformatting the drive to FAT filesystem, tried changing filenames (I saw that somebody changed files to OS_UPDATE.zip and MCU.zip) - nothing...
Any help appreciated!

brightness etc.

How is the screen brightness under daylight? Had a similar system before (Joying) and was fine, except for the screen brightness, which could have been better.
Also, does it boot pretty quick? Joying was almost instant on

Is there a unit suited for my needs (Ute/Pick up)

Hi guys,
I'm not well read up on headunits and can't seem to find anything relating to my question.
I'm looking for a 1Din android headunit, but as I'm getting a canopy for my ute/pick up I won't be able to use the rear vision mirror as the view is obstructed. Is there a unit and reversing camera that can display a preview of the rear view camera on top of the android system e.g split screen or floating viewing app? I need to have a constant view of the rear while driving while also being able to interact with the system like maps, music etc. My understanding is that rear cameras have a straight video signal that cut in when put into reverse. I would still like this feature, but also to have a preview when not in reverse.
Hope I've made some sense of what I'd like. I'm just not sure if anythings out there and if there is, please recommend me something.
Cheers.
