But i was wondering if there was anyway to boost the FPS of 720p Video when recording.
not happy with just 14fps... or sometimes even 7!!
if anybody can help thanks

You should use the search option.
but it depends on your Rom/Firmware an if your rooted.

The fps you get is dependent on the lighting situation. If your only getting 14fps...that is under lower lighting. Outside on a bright day you can easily get 24fps. Which is where its capped. If someone tries to claim they get 30fps when shooting 720p i want to see proof.

i did try the search option but found nothing for 2.3. i was also wondering if there was anyway to make the frame rate a constant number instead of changing...
possible?
thanks

According to the testers oovoo and tango work fine. There is the ever present banding issue, which will be annoying until they figure that out. But they are making good progress.
Also I read you have to have about 1.7mbps down in order to have a usable video conversation.

This correct. I use tango it works great you do need a certain amount of speed (about 1.5-7) to not have choppy connection. But wow it really works good. The Banding is only when you take pictures with the back camera in low light you get some red-lines in the pix, but for me this is a non issue I don't use the phone in low light so NP

[Q] Camera MOD for g3 (Are there possibilities)

I often heard something about some camera modifications for some phones
like here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1246609
Is there also a way for our phone or this topic was already addressed?
There is one camera mod here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1139547
Thank you kyrillos13
There's also the app "LG Camera" in the market, there you can change the video output to mp4 and it works.
A friend of mine modded the standard camera app from the optimus 2x speed to record video with higher framerate, he's going to explain to me how he did it and then I'm going to mess around with the camera app

I did look it about 2 months ago, but in our phone it wasnt possible. I dont know why, but when i changed the bitrate, output audio & video, it fc..
I know of your mod, and it's awesome.
But I'm still going to try it for myself, just to learn (;

Hope that you will succeed in changing bitrate and output
the kernel must first allow these settings.....
they must first be enabled or changed in the drivers...
we will have to wait till marcellusbe or dharam are free and then we can ask them

Yeah i asked Marcellusbe, but he doesnt have time now
I again looked at the app "lg camera" where I could set the framerate to 30 fps and the video bit rate up to 20MB, but I do not know what is supposed to be with the video bit rate.
And as already mentioned the video output to mp4, unfortunately, you can change nothing on the resolution and on the sound , for that we need a modified kernel and drivers.

[Q] [HELP FROM ALL DEVS.] Camera low-fps issue

Hello! This is a request to all the developers for Galaxy S II. You probably already know that some Galaxy S II suffer from the problem of low-fps (stuttering) with low-light conditions. That is resolved with the firmware of the camera of the Samsung I997 (Infuse 4G), but putting this firmware, the LED flash does not work anymore. You can change the firmware?
The firmware does help is the SIEG03. Camera firmwares topic here on XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098834&page=110
Thank you in advance if can help.
Behind SGS2's Camera: http://www.anandtech.com/show/4686/samsung-galaxy-s-2-international-review-the-best-redefined/9
It would be great if some of devs look at this fw and changes what is problem so flash stop working
Indeed, i would be great +1
I sent a private message to Chainfire and email to Supercurio. I hope they meet!
Great thread! SC cameras are the ones that have low light framerate issue. If someone resolves the flash issue it will be great.
Is this the same thing as the low-light autofocus laggy thing?
I made a video at my friends birthday in a nightclub and it's crap! Had to delete it! Blurring and lagging every few seconds!
I know potatoman might do something about it but he's busy at uni now, I'm kinda surprised nobody has jumped on this issue. One of the big reasons I got the S2 was the camera...turns out it's not that good
Yes. Its that problem. And is laggy beacuse of some galaxy s2 camera modules have some bad firmware. The SIEGO3 fix the suttering in video but remove the led flash of the videos and we cant use it like assisted lamp for autofocus. If someone implement in the firmware, our problem is solved.
+1
It would be great! Thanks
Maybe someone who knows cyanogen can tell him to tell samsung to fix it. I mean he does work for them now

Maybe Samsung are aware of the framerate issue... they should be considering how many of us have this problem, but before they can release the firmware it proberly need to be tested ect so takes time.
Im using the infuse 4G firmware & more than happy to plod along with it, until a fix is released by either a Dev or Samsung.
I had a Galaxy S before i got the S2, so having no light in video isn't to much of a problem for me, the camera flash works which is more important, even without the pre focus light the camera still locks on 99% of the time in low light.
TBH that pre focus light of the orginal cam firmware was annoying as hell to some people, as it use to blind them before the flash kicked in lol.
Anyways im happy with having constant 30fps in either 720p or 1080p without any framerate problems.
The well-known dev's are unlikely to respond to PMs as they'd get hundreds\thousands a day, mostly from noobs, so unless they're from people they already know, I wouldn't expect a response. Plus a lot of them don't frequent XDA as it's turned into a noobfest where the "popular" devices are involved.
You could try posting over on the Cyanogen forums.
Steve (Cyanogen) is not likely to be in a position to "tell" Samsung to fix anything, and certainly not for a device that is as old as the SGS2 is now.
You could try logging a fault with Samsung themselves, they have been known to respond, but I wouldn't hold your breath.

The same for me! I don't feel a strong lack of flash, but can be useful with app. that use it like "Tiny Flashlight" etc.

Just a heads up that while I'd love to help with this, I don't experience the issue myself, so I wouldn't even be able to test if my fix would work or not. I'm also not comfortable with my code being flashed- my firmware modding capabilities are limited at best... and flashing a bad camera firmware can be irreversible.
Sorry guys, good luck finding someone else who can help though.

Anything like this possible for us? (Sensation Camera mod)

I know the sensation is fairly close to the rezound.. anyone think something like this may be possible?

Almost positive Joel will be adding it to his next BAMF release.
That would be icing on the cake.

That is kind of the same thing I had both mods on my sensation. Both looked good but I liked the BR one better.

I'm more excited about this mod than anything else with this phone. And that's saying a LOT.
Sent from the Speed Demon known as the Rezound
This would be amazing on our phones! I too am more excited about this mod than any other. I use my camera a lot!
If it corrects for the pops and squeaks during video recording, then that would be icing on the cake. True 30fps recording would great too. I've had pretty severe frame-rate drops during recording.
I went ahead and installed the program and it appears to work. I get larger JPG images and 1080 video at higher bitrates. A few things though. The icons at the bottom are physically lower on the screen so the text on the bottom gets cut off. The button to the gallery doesn't work from video mode but appears ok from camera mode. The effects appear to work too. This is just my preliminary findings.
I'm on CleanRom 4.1 without any of the mods.
Edit: xsnapshot, I haven't noticed the pops and squeaks since the radio update in January. I didn't notice any on the test video I took, but it was only for 10 secs so I'm not sure. I'll take a longer video later and see if I can hear the pops and squeaks.
Edit2: Not sure why you linked to an Engadget post when the original post is in XDA. Here it is so you can get the app. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1533238
I installed this yesterday and haven't had any issues with it. I have not used my Rezound camera enough to really notice a difference. I guess I should have taken a before and after pick to see if the file size changed much.
I didn't flash it. Opened the zip up and pushed each item to my phone.
I did take a picture of some clouds yesterday evening. File size was 2.62MB
Installed this tonight, my photo file sizes are huge now, though I've not seen a huge difference in 1080p video quality. I'll do some outdoor testing tomorrow, to see if there is a difference.
I'll try to post some results if I get around to it
Sent from the Speed Demon known as the Rezound
Out of curiosity... can this be undone
if you reflash a rom without it, yeah lol...
this doesn't do anything for video, btw guys..in joels rom it didn't, anyway. still recorded at around 8mbps, wouldn't ever hit above that to get even near 20...photo's seemed to work uncompressed though; they're bigger in size

[Q] Video Loses Focus

I have been trying for some time to get my Galaxy S2 running Semi v17 on here to keep focused when recording videos. I am very limited in knowledge of recording video and have no clue how to get it to stay focused. As I take a video, it focuses and looks great. Without moving at all or changing the lighting in any way it just seems to get really blurry for a couple seconds while it refocuses. It continues to do this the entire time I take a video. It has pretty much stopped me from taking any video due to the fact that half the time it is out of focus. Any and all replies on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your support!
if you switch to 720p it autofocuses less. thats the only solution ive found for it. or you could use another app like lgcamera instead of the stock one.
