Any alternative Video Camera app? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Did you guys find any?
There seems to be no alternative video camera app on Android.

+1. I have no idea why there wouldn't be any. Strange.

Try Lgcamera, can be found from the market. Lots of settings to tinker with especially on the pro-version. Supports hd too.

Just tested lg camera pro. Installs get no errors but will not take photos. Camera works set to full hd record but playback was a shocker blurry and small not full screen, so not working as well

Just tested again. Seems to be working. I have set it to full hd but looking at the details of the video file doesn't tell me if it's full hd. Have to transfer to pc and check full details

Youtube HD apk

A little backround info about the youtube app for the Evo 3D: If you download youtube from google play(doesn't matter if you're rooted or not), it will not play HD(High Definition) video; only HQ(High Quality). If you haven't noticed already, HQ isn't really much different than the normal video. The reason it doesn't play HD is that our device's screen is not technically considered an HD screen because of the pixel density(Evo 3D is qHD:960X540 HD is 1280X720). However, HD videos play fantastically on our device, so Google fails for not allowing youtube to upscale to HD. Fortunately, there's a fix for this. For those of you who want youtube videos to play in 720p HD(not sure why you wouldn't...), instead of crappy HQ, I have a working apk attached. Simply download, put on your sd card, and install like you would any other third party apk, and if you have youtube installed already, or if it came embedded in your rom, just say ok or yes when it asks if you want to replace the system app. I've installed it myself and tested it, and there are no weird bugs, glitches, discoloring, missing lines, cut off portions, weird aspect ratio, etc. It works flawlessly, and any video shot in HD looks crystal clear. Came from beneath-a-burning-turtle's Common Sense 1.7 rom, so thank him, not me.
Wow! What a difference! I thought that the video quality could have been better on YouTube. Now it is. WAY better! Thanks allot!

I see no reason why it wouldn't, it's just an apk. Give it a try, if it doesn't work, uninstall it and re-install the one from the play store

Here's my problem.
Once I downloaded it and tried to install it, it gave me an error message saying that the install was not done because a package with the same name already exists.
How do I get past this? Also, how can you move to card after download, but before install? Do you need a pc for that (which I am not by at the present)?

You need to delete the original from system/app, then put the HD one in, and make sure the permissions are set right (rw-r--r--) I recommend using root explorer, its a dollar or two on the market, but its worth it

Go to settings>security and make sure unknown sources is checked then try again. If it says 'this will replace a system app do you still want to install?' click ok and it should install, if not uninstall the youtube that's already on your device, if you can't then just root your phone.
Will I still be able to play 3d YouTube videos using this?

[Q] Problems Playing HD Video on AOSP or CM 10.1 based ROM

Hi, I'm currently changing ROMs and now I'm trying AOSP based ROM like Slimbean or Beanstalk. Those ROMs are great but I encountered a problem that I can't play HD videos on them. HD videos with big size usually lags especially when I fast forwarded or rewind it, but on Sammy ROM I can play HD videos without any issues. Is this a common problem or there's a solution for this issue? Any help will be much appreciated, thanks before
Shameless self bump
R: [Q] Problems Playing HD Video on AOSP or CM 10.1 based ROM
What player u using? I suggest using mxplayer, it's DA BEST, PERIOD. U can use it to switch from hardwware to software decoding, and viceversa. First try it, then see if problem persists and report here with as many details as u can.

Kay.....weird....
Try 2 things for me:
1)make sure in mxplayer you switch from hw to sw decoding and viceversa while watching a video (theres a button)
2)go to settings, dev options and enable gpu drawing for screen instead of cpu. (There are 2 options about gpu enabling, enable both of them it should speed up ur cell first of all)

Thanks for replying mate. What ROM were you using? So there wasn't any problem at all? No lags when fast forwarding or rewinding?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
No lag. i was on cyanogen...may i suggest you do not use aosp roms as they are not currently stable enough for s3 and not best choice at all. samsung based roms are much better, i suggest using Foxhound, but if you do remember the latest version (2.4) has a bug in one of the tweaks: when you install it it asks a bunch of stuff, a new tweak that has been added is "crossbreeder", do not install it it wont work, dunno why cuz foxhound is very stable itself, theyll fix it next version for sure anyways....

YouTube app bug orientation problem

I know this post isn't appropriate, but Google doesn't seem to be responding for months. Back to the point whenever I change the orientation while a video is playing I get a huge black bar taking up space, does this bug happen to anyone else? Can I fix this problem?

Is this any different than the GPE files pulled in June? The only thing not working well was the video recording.
I'm not sure when I tried it I saw that the video was kinda blurry
I tried this on my Xperia sola and it's working nicely. However, the panorama mode is not that good. Was the 360 panorama feature supposed to work? Because it doesn't work on my phone.(stock Xperia ics ROM.)

Do you mean photosphere? I tried it mine and it works. Try to reinstall the app. Also when you install this app do you get another gallery and camera icon?
