Video-record HD fixed in Xperia Mini ST15i. - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

I´ve read many post of people looking for a solution for the video-recording HD after install some FXP mod ROMS. With no reason, sometimes it works for some people and sometimes don´t. After reading many post, it seems that if you update from a FXP before than FXP_46, you got camera working well, but for the people that come from FXP_47 and above, the video-camera freezes constantly.
I have found a post talking about that here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285977&page=17.
Well, you have to replace TWO files: "Camera.apk" from /system/app, and "libcameraservice.so" from /system/lib , after put the right permissions on these files: Owner:read and write, group:read, others: read. Do it with Rootexplorer app for example, look like this: http://compixels.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Vending-Android-Root-Permissions.png . Reboot and voila, HD video recording perfect!!!!.
Where are the files? here: http://www.mediafire.com/?7v32a2j1nph3zvz .Thanks to "seaton" XDA-user for the update files.
Perfect Xperia Mini ST15i FXP_50 until...radio FM worked...
(Delete the other post in ray development, dont know how).

Good find. Wrong section.

I noticed that the audio recording is low, is this normal?

Thnxz ...

hey i tried copying it with root explorer but it stops me from doing it as its only readable file .so I tried with es explorer .. but the video is still the same no hd
And the sin converter how does it work I tried giving it commands to locate my .sin files but it stops working(I am using win7 32bt)

1.- Use rootexplorer, and MOUNT the files in read and Write mode, R/W!!!, not only read. Change the files and change permissions, reboot and check the camera.
2.- Search posts in xda, there are many about extracting "sin" files. Got no more info.

[Q] Witch "Camera mod" to choose?

Hello, this is my first post on XDA
in the "Development" section I've read about a camera mod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1104051.
It add some good feature to the camera stock app like:
Records Audio in 192kbps/44.1Khz quality (CD Quality) rather than stock (64kbps/16khz quality)
Increased Video Bitrate in 1080 and 720p modes* (See 2nd post for info and download link for this version)
I would to try this hack, but I am confused on witch APK to download and use, the Potatoman and the hyperX-'s release are identical or not?
i believe there is only one mod as of right now. The mod you posted above is based off of the original and does nothing but improve the camera. Safe to say this is THE mod to use my friend!

Thank you!
So I can download the modded APK from here without problems? Is it THE mod?
You can dl it from here or glash one of the fantastic roms that have it included.
Now I am trying to install the camera hack on my phone, I renamed the original Camera.apk in Campera.apk.bak and copied the hacked Camera.apk in /system/app, but when I try to execute it to install, the installation starts but it ends with message "Application not installed", why?
What'is my error?
I use Root Explorer...
You don't have to install it after copying to system/app, just copy, then set permissions correct and reboot..

Thank you, now I try, but witch are the correct permissions?!?
EDIT: I set permissions to rx-r--r-- like the original app, now it seems work!
I recorded a video at 720p with the hacked Camera.apk, I controlled media info with VLC and with Windows Explorer "Property->Details" tab, the value they show are 11880 kbps for the video bitrate and 16 kHz, 60 kbps, mono for audio. I think that there are the value for a video recorded with default app, or not?
Help pleaseee!!!

You must have rooted your phone and you must use a file manager like Root Explorer!
i know, my phone is rooted and have root explorer installed. But i can't paste anything on system/app from my file/download, i could just move files around in my file

Mount the filesystem in R/W mode (read and write), default setting is RO (read only), use the button in the upper side of the screen.
i know this step, i mean, how do you paste the .apk to system/app from the bluetooth folder in my file? because i use bluetooth to transfer the .apk into my phone, but i have no idea how to paste it into root explorer, seems like i can only move it around to those folders in my file. i know i am such a noob, sorry for asking so many silly questions.

You must navigate throught your phone's filesystem with Root Explorer, find the folder where the file Camera.apk is (I think it is /sdcard/bluetooth) copy the file and paste it in /system/app (all operation of copy/move/paste are possible with Root Explorer).
I hope I help you, I'm Italian and I'm not a native speaker of English...
i am not native english speaker either, haha
i am from Hong Kong
i am gonna try it, but i messed it up this afternoon and i had to reset everything on my phone lol because the camera didn't work

Working Adobe Flash player 10.1 for ARMv6 (ARM 11)

I've just tested it on my X10-mini CM6-1.0.2, and AFTER a reboot, it work perfectly!
source:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1155071
It's working, but sometimes it fc (miniclip.com --> first game) on MiniCM7-2.0.3
impressive. it's really a good new.
it works on MiniCM7 (i'm using 2.3.4 Gingerbread Remix10 XL v3.3)
thank
Is it a stand alone player or just a browser plugin??
I'm on MiniCM 1.0.2 installed your posted adobe flash player and a swf player apk, but cannot run a swf file.. so what did I do wrong??
you should try Gingerbread because it won't work on Froyo
Just installed on MiniCM 6 v1.0.1 (Froyo) and it's working
Just install the apk and reboot phone, no need to install anything else
The only problem: not working with opera mini
Worked for me, but weighs a lot and lock the navigation! Uninstalled!
Using MiniCM7 2.0.3.
Works fine as a basic browser plug in (stock or skyfire). Nice to see.
Games (mini-clip) and video crash. Skyfire handles video fine on its own anyway.
Doesn't work by me on stock, Skyfire and Dolphin Mini browsers - sites with flash videos on them either only load and get stuck on loading, or the Dolphin browser even restarts itself when I try to play video on it.
I'm running it on Xperia X10 Mini with CM6-1.0.2 on it.
Nice attempt, but it seems there is a lot of work to make it working on ArmV6!
Can't get it to works on my phone..
But these files are work: http://www.4shared.com/folder/KzLl7sQT/Flash_keur_x10_mini.html
It's pumakkiotto's methode:
- put the lib files in system/lib, all chmod 644
- install the apk
- restart, and now you have stand-alone flash player

Hi moedjs,
Do we need to copy everything?
- system/lib/libflashlite_jni.so (644)
- system/lib/libflashlitepackage.so (644)
- system/lib/libflashliteplugin.so (644)
- system/app/FlashPlugin.apk (644)
- system/app/FlashSVGPlayer.apk (644)
Thanks
Sry for the stupid question, guys, but what's that 644? Number of permissions or what? And when it is permissions, how do we give them in Root Explorer?
Thanks for the info and for sharing the files!
PS: DanielFran, nope, u need to copy only the lib files, the .apk files are installation files, that should be opened in the installation manager.
Half works, it runs on my Mini (MiniCM7 2.0.3) but it tends to cause reboots.

644 permissions is the most basic ones you'll ever come across. It means RW, R, R ( Read-Write, Read, Read), like this:
XXO
XOO
XOO
Where the X is a marked/ticked box.
I've tested with CineX (Streaming for TV-Shows, based on FlowPlayer). And sometimes a stream starts. But i'ts very unstable and slow.
But a great progress so far!
moedjs, that player also doesn't work by me on X10 Mini CM6! Sites with flash video content say I need flash player to view the movie.
Nice to hear that
Working on minicm 6! yeay!

Yeah, definitely! If the lack of the warning message in sites with video content "U need flash player to play video" can be called "working", the constantly crushing browser while loading the video says NOT WORKING AT ALL!!!

help me on dual touch...

since I can not post directly in the discussion, I have to open a separate thread.
I used the file for dual touch using insmod and it worked.
Now I wanted to make sure that it is fixed with the phone, I read the procedure and tried to follow her, but I do not find any files bulid.prop ....
Where is it?
Please help me.
build.prop is in
root, system folder
tell me if it works for you, I tried this and I couldn't get it to work.

using it without changing the files, it works QuickPic, Copilot.
In google maps does not work. Not even in browsers like Opera or Ninesky.
But I thought that by modifying these files, worked in the rest.
Thanks! I found the file "build.prop",
Where is the other file "hw_config.sh"? Because what I found I had no voice "insmod" ...

Not sure what ROM you're using, but you may need this file to get the other apps using dualtouch:

this is the problem?? I've Stock ROM 2.1update1 with firmware 2.1.1.A.06
then, I have to create that file and copy it into /system/etc/permissions with rootexplorer...
now I try this...and you know I do!
EDIT: NOT WORKING...I have create that file (copy and paste the code in the frame in a txt file, and renamed android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch.xml) then I've paste it into /system/etc/permissions and associated it permission rw-r-r
rebooted and not working...single touch.
yet launched from the console does the dual touch working in some applications ... why?
EDIT 2: Please do not send me to hell, but by creating the file and rebooting, if I launch "insmod" from the console, dual touch works in all apps!
How is it possible, however, that the changes to make it start with phone not work?
I want to work "even" when I restart the phone!
Did you try this version?

I couldn't get it to work when doing it manually. but when I load it from the SD card through adb it works.
I ended up using the AAIS script and replacing the module in the AAIS with the one in the link.

thanks!
With this script you can enable and disable a lot of things ... I can just see if it works ...and let you know ...
I wanted to ask, but what is JIT? what does it do?
thank you in advance for availability ..
EDIT: Works!!! without launching the script, I went just to see how the command was written in the file "hw_config.sh" ...
I corrected, and after restarting, it works!
I was wrong because we put the quotes, but no need to write.
The correct lines of code to be included in the file "hw_config.sh" (at bottom) are:
# load multi touch driver
insmod /system/lib/modules/cy8ctma300_ser.ko
sleep 1
After you have copied into system/lib/modules "cy8ctma300_ser.ko" , mounted it as rw-rr , and edit the file "build.prop" as indicated in the post.
works!!!
thanks!!!!

[Q] How do you change the wallpaper on settings submenus in CM7?

I currently use a HTC HD Mini (Photon) running the SCREAM ROM by Ling Gan. It has a few bugs for most of which there is either a workaround or fix but there is the one problem which has remained unsolved: the default wallpaper on everything BUT the home and lockscreens cannot be changed. It is of a tree in a meadow under a blue sky and when rotated to landscape changes to some smiling chinese lady in the "settings" submenu. Doesn't hamper use much but it is quite annoying.
I have tried a number of solutions some of which resulted in my having to reflash and others did nothing. I post this here because I think it is a CM7 issue. The ROM developers have so far been unable to post a solution within the thread and I am aware that a fix for similar problems on CM9 ROMs exists using ADB to edit framework-res.apk. I felt it was time the problem was tackled by the wider XDA fam. Used google translate to look on the chinese site where the ROM is native to (mobile-kon) but found no help as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
i think ur problem lays in the framework-res.apk it contains the look of the rom and the transition effects
you can mod apk with the apkmanager tool for ur computer in the frameworkresapk you should find the images u want to change replace them witch a black picture or something like that
if never done this befoure exept from changing some transition effects and i had a couple of errors among this
the easier way seems to search for the rom on another page cus the images ure stating are not standart in the cm7
SOLVED!

Many thanks!
I started off looking through the "res" folder in framwork-res.apk using Root Explorer to identify the images for the wallpaper. They were
Res/drawable-land-mdpi/screen-background-dark-transparent.png
And
Res/drawable-mdpi/screen-background-dark-transparent.png
I then created a copy of framework-res.apk on my SD card and copied it onto my pc. I created new wallpapers to replace the ones I just mentioned, one in portrait, the other in landscape. They were 320x480 and 480x320 respectively. Using 7zip on the pc, I placed them in the corresponding folders (/drawable-mdpi for protrait and /drawable-land-mdpi for landscape).
I copied framework-res.apk back to my sdcard and then fired up terminal emulator to run the following commands
su
sys -rw
busybox cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework
sys -rw
You might get error messages from running apps after this but ignore them and reboot. The idea is to replace the framework-res.apk in system/framework with the one you just edited.
After the reboot, you should have your newly created wallpaper showing up in settings in both landscape and portrait modes.
Please hit "thanks" for both jiffer1991 and I if this was helpful. Big ups to jiffer1991for pushing me in the right direction.
Hi,
i did something wrong.
So my Phone didn´t run.
He show me the Bootsceen and the Animation.
But the he will run again and again and again.
Can i handle my Phone via USB so i can restore the framework.resp.apk on my System? Or i have to reinstall Android again?
I have no backup and i don´t want to erase my system settings.
Thanks

hm u got stuck in a bootloop thats what i meant when i mentioned errors =)
you could make a zip with the old framework res apk or reflash the cm rom
if u dont whipe data/cash ure setting will be safed
read some tutorials how to mod the framework res apk
I have an .zip file on the sd card.
Can i copy it to the Android system somehow?
Felix
P.S. can i zip the framework and remove the ".zip" to ".apk"?
It is most likely that the zip file you have is the ROM image from which you flashed in the first place. Changing the extension to apk is NOT what you want to do. I suggest you create a backup in CWM of you present configuration and after reflashing, you can then do a partial restore of your user data. But its like Jiffer1991 said, read up on CWM, theres an exhaustive guide on xda somewhere.
Thanks,
i installed my modified cm rom without wipe caches data or something.
And now i have my old datas back, with the new Background.

2 things can be happening. Either after you exctract the zip file with Winrar and it contains an apk file which you can transfer to your phone and using a file explorer just run it.
Or you have to go into CMW clockwork mode recovery (if you have it) and select flash a zip file.

Just rename file's extension from .zip to .apk then. Depending on your OS configuration, you may have to edit 1 setting, if you can not change the extension. For that - Control Panel, Folder Options, View, untick Hide extensions for known file types.

no from my brain, bro ;D i dont talk same as somebody else said :/ i get behind myself im pretty sure its oom, bcuz if i usng stock browser he holds 2 sites loaded, now when open more sites , he only holds the current one. so if i switch to other site he (re)load data. on it. memory usage is some higher but okay. now when i use some browser that usaally tries to holds all the data my memory decreases very hard until to some mb left, on early legacy xperia buils my phone restarted more often if i used other browser hard. i faced this issues on nearly all new browser's... sometimes even my device stops responding so must take off battery i never faced this on stock browser but more site-reloads.
i had seen this behaviour on several roms like stock ics and cm's JB. ...
ahh YES OFFTOPIC! sry ur right bro but thanks for help
