Hi all,
I'm a user of mobile hidden camera however I'm experiencing some problems.I'm currently using the latest free market version (3.3.1-9) and would like very much to buy the premium version of the app if not for the issues. I have a Samsung Galaxy SII (GT-I9100) and running an 4.0.4 AOKP based ROM (Resurrection Remix v2.6.1 by Westcrip).
The problems I have are:
-firstly I cannot record on higher quality than 480p, If I try 720p or 1080p and HIGH_QUALITY the app will not start recording at all production a 0MB file.This problem is rather minor as I don't mind the 480p recording and actually that recording has a wider view-angle even in the stock camera application.
-secondly and the most annoying thing is that the videos which can record come out scrambled and I'm unable to view any of them. I've tried playing with recording quality and encoder override (resolution override has only a default option) and I've even tried the various firmware fixes like 1,2 and 3 producing no end result.
Would you it be possible to assist me with some kind of best settings to be applied or which working older version can I sideload.
I would be very grateful

Hi, Could anyone advise me on the set of alternative application for recording videos? Until now I used the stock LG Camera, which had a lot of settings and I was very satisfied with her. However, it has little support and does not work on CM9. It is mainly about me adjusting resolution, bitrate and focus (auto, manual, fixed, etc.).
This application is mainly used for filming know since I have the unfortunate mobile module from Fujitsu Siemens and do the problem in recording HD or Full HD video over stock applications about every 3 seconds when focusing hangs video.
Thank you very much for you help!
why not download third party apps from the market buddy?
cheers

Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
Is there any camera app that can take pics & record videos in JB (4.1) just like Videocam Illusion pro can record videos in GB (2.3)?
Please post about such apps so that we can use JB as many of the cheaper phones nowadays are using newer OS than us, and we can show them that we are still in the race.
After searching for a while it seems few people have shared my problem but none really found a solution.
I'm on a Galaxy S3 i9300 running the latest stable build of SlimKat (which is AOSP based) and it appears snapchat videos only record for a second or so before stopping. According to what I read i recognized the problem as a memory problem, snapchat has a maximum memory capacity for video and for some reason on AOSP based ROMs it reaches that maximum too early. I confirmed this because I saw that when Video Quality is set on "Low" it does record the full 10 seconds (although in messed up proportions which is why I don't want to use it) and if I put the Video Mode on regular and put my thumb on the camera it records 10 seconds of black, and if I suddenly remove the finger it ends because of the memory maximum.
How can I fix this problem? I really like vanilla android and I don't want to move to Samsung based ROMs for something like this. Please help

That's my problem too =/
Same and my front facing recording is being inverted like right is shown as left ??

Had a dream about this... Try going to camera app and go to video setting, in the recording setting change the video to a lower one. Mine was at 1080p and when I changed it to 720p it started working amazing. Try setting it lower if that doesn't work for you. Mine was only recording for 1 second and would stop, after this I can record the full length allowed now. Let us know if this works for you

I'm hoping someone could help me with a video problem I'm having. I use my Touchpad mostly as a wall mounted tablet to display a security camera. I'm currently using the Evervolv 7.1.2 Android Nougat Rom which I love and it works so smooth! However, when using the Wyze Labs app that goes with my cameras and also when trying the Tiny Cam Pro app, when trying to enable Hardware Decoder in the apps for video, it fails. It forces me to use the software decoder instead, which works, but is laggy and stutters at times.
I also tried the LineageOS 14.1 Android Nougat 7.1.2 by invisiblek Rom and had the exact same issue.
HOWEVER.... When using the Dirty Unicorns v8.1 Android Oreo by Flintman Rom, the hardware decoder works in both apps with that Rom, but the Touchpad doesn't run nearly as quick and smooth for me as it does with Evervolv 7.1.2
Does anyone have any idea on how to get the hardware decoder to work in either 7.1.2 Rom.
By the way, I'm also using the Max Extreme optimize 1782 if that makes any difference.

I can not test those Apps as I do not have any way to connect to any security cameras. I do know that the Tablet's video recording capabilities is better with Oreo and Pie.
It maybe the Kernel or the Android ROMs for those version. Did you try setting the Tablet as posted on this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hp-touchpad/general/hp-touchpad-optimize-android-swap-t3901773
You mentioned the use of MaXtreme, but did you flash Oreo or Pie using ROM Reducer and also the 1836 Speed?
All ROMs have the same settings applied at the Kernel level and should perform very similar.

I think it may have something to do with the MaXtreme. I tried several ROMs over the weekend in all sorts of combos, some with the ROM reducer and also with the 1836 speed. Anyway, last night I tried one more time with the DU 13 Pie ROM and the hardware decoder worked with both apps. However, after I got it running, I flashed the MAX_1836_CPU_Universal_Optimize_Swap Zip that goes with that ROM and the Hardware decoder stopped working again on both apps. After a quick dirty flash of the ROM without the MaX_1836 , HW Decoder came back. I haven't tried Rom Reducer yet on this ROM, but I may just leave it as is since I'm really only using this particular tablet as a wall mounted display, so as long as it works to display the cameras reliably, I don't need the tablet do work well with anything else.
Thanks for the reply!

All the optimized Kernels improve the CPU frequency ( overclock ) with the most fastest possible settings. But it does not disable or remove any features.

It is great to know that is working one way or the other and that is what's so great about the Tablet, many different options available that still makes it usable!

Out of curiosity I installed the Tiny Cam App using Evervolv 7.1.2 ( ROM Reducer) with MaXtreme 1836.
Attached are the screenshot that shows H.264/H.265 decoder is available . I do not know why it does not work for you, but it should work for everyone.
Click HERE for the Installation Guide
Also I use Evervolv 7.1.2 with the same set up to record and playback video in 2592x1944 resolution over WiFi.

The decoder shows as available however, when I enabled either Hardware or Hardware+ and then connect to a live camera stream, a message pops up that says something like "Hardware Decoder H264 has failed, Switching to Software decoder" Then the camera video plays using the software decoder. That works. but lags 15 seconds and skips. In the Wyze app which is by the camera manufacturer, Enable Hardware decoder is an option in the app account menu. When enabled, the camera does connect, but the video is just a black screen along with the counting bitrate. It does play with hardware decoder switched off. With the Wyze app, lot's of Android devices, especially older devices need the hardware decoder because without it, the live video lags like 20 seconds and stutters. There were tons of complaints on the Wyze forums for a while when Wyze temporarily removed the hardware decoder option due to some change in Android about a year ago.

In Hardware Decoder the GPU will be doing the work, in Software it will be the CPU. The codec is very important when it comes to playback.
I have found the MX Player App is the best to play videos. I downloaded a video to test from this site:
https://www.appsloveworld.com/sample-hd-video-download/
Tested on Evervolv 7.1.2 and Pie with the same results, the attached screenshots are of 7.1.2. In both Tablets the MaXtreme is use as it provides the fastest CPU.
Not all videos, or streams are encoded the same or using a codec that will work using the GPU ( Hardware plus decoder ). It gets complicated and specially on this old device.
If the wrong encoding option is selected then it will not play, but software using the CPU will work. Using the highest CPU frequency the Tablet can handle should help with software decoder.
Hi,
Since I bought GT 2 PRO global version (RMX3301) 2 months ago, I have an issue with sending videos (recorded from the main camera) as videos playback get choppy after being processed by whatsapp.
latest updates did not solve the issue.
However, if I record and send videos directly from whatsapp, the playback is smooth.
Anyone faces the same problem? Any fixes?
Exact same issue here, have been trying every different setting etc and nothing working.
Same here. Gdpr version
Sorry, I posted a fix I thought works but doesn't ...
If you change video options to 4k, 30-60 fps, it´s must work for you.
Is better ,but no, not working
Same problem
try turning of hevc (h265) video in setting, alternatively cut the video shorter using the editor and use the new video
same problem here. Just found out the culprit. if you download the video to computer and try to read the FPS, it always using weird number, like 28.97, 29.41, 29,33 fps. I guess that what really make whatsapp compression failed, it tried to upscale the frame rate to 30 fps but because the FPS never have constant rate, the output get choppy.
I tried using Gcam, and works perfectly, because Gcam always produce 30 fps video.
Realme should fix this bug
To solve this inconvenience (it happens in several mobiles that are not Samsung and Iphone), you must use the "VenLow" application (I suggest downloading the premium app from google) and that's it, the same application indicates how to use it and you can also watch videos on youtube. Greetings People from Chile.
Just noticed that problem was solved already
