[Q] How to change default video recording resolution? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have Xolo a500s. I flashed a custom rom on it. The custom rom is based on 4.2.2 but it has all apps of 4.4 like camera, launcher,calender,gallery etc.
The problem I am having is that the camera app doesnt have any option to change video recording resolution. It always record video in 640x480 resolution. but in my stock rom It used to record video in 720p resolution.
I installed camera mx app from playstore and this app gives me 720p recording option. But I dont like this app. I want my default camera app to record 720p.
can I edit camera.apk file to change the video recording resolution?
or I will have to change some files of my custom rom to change the resolution?

(Q) 1080P Recording with 2.3.4?

Has anybody seen or found anything to enable 1080P recording on 2.3.4? I liked having the option in previous builds.

What option in previous builds? Stock Atrix doesn't have a 1080p option.
If you are referring to the olympuscamera.apk which was posted, this was proven to be 24fps with a smaller file size than 30fps on the stock 720p. This means what you were getting may have appeared to be 1080p, but there was definitely data not being captured, as the file sizes were too small.
What puzzles me is why people want record at 15fps with stretched out 720p to 1080p?
Seriosly...
Guess i didn't do my homework on that one. Thanks for the help and information.
I've done some testing on cm7 with lgcamera and the stock cm7 camera at 720p and 1080p. 1080p recording always results in 22fps no matter what you set the fps to. 720p runs nice and smooth at 30fps. I monitor and analyzed the framerate and bitrate using kmplayer. So my question is. How do we get a nice smooth 720p image on 1080p recording while maintaining at least 24fps? Also on cm7 beta how do we edit the stock camera parameters? since they don't exist in the build.prop?

[Q] Video stabilization

Hi,
I've question about Video Stabilization in ICS roms. LGCamera have 'Video stabilization' but I don't know witch devices support this option. Also apps CameraICS and CameraICS+ support 'Video stabilization' but i don't see any checkbox to set it.
After select in LGCamera Video stabilization i can't see any changes in videos.
Video stabilization works or not ?
I don't think S2 has video stabilization. I guess it must be implemented partly on low level (firmware) of the camera module which is the same for gb and ics roms. regards!

[Q] NeatRom 4.7 Lite problems with camera video mode

I've currently installed NeatRom 4.7 Lite. Everything is fine except for the video mode of the standard camera app.
Camera mode is ok as well, but when switching to video mode, the zoom factor seems to change, everything is bigger and I'm unable to record a good video without moving backwards.
Please have a look at the attached screenshots.
Anyone else with this problem?
Anyone with a solution to this?
Thank you.

It's not a problem it happens because of the changes in resolution, in photo mode 8 megapixel capture is at resolution 3264x2448, and max resolution for video recording is 1920x1080.
Edit :If you don't want to step back you can reduce video recording resolution to like 640x480, but the recorded videos will not be good for watching in a big screen.

I was using CheckRom v6 before (Android 2.3.6) and never mentioned anything like this, screen detail was the same in camera and video mode.
Has this something to do with Jelly Bean or only with NeatRom?
Do you know any alternative video recording app?

Well in max resolution(full HD recording) any kind of zooming is not allowed but in lower resolution zooming is there, and I don't remember about gb, but this is common in all my Jellybean device's.
Edit ;So what I mean is since zooming is fixed it's kinda at max zoom, and I am using NeatRom with this device and other jb versions on other devices.

That was my point.
Zoom factor seems to be at max level, whereas it was at min level on GB.
But good to know, that this not a NeatRom failure.

This is a trick used by samsung because we can record on 30fps it crops the image for achiving target fps u cant do anything ..... hardware limitation

I don't know any good ones that record video at full HD, I myself use Camera Zoom FX for multiple camera features, and for video recording they use the stock recorder, and as far as I know the stock video recorder app is referred to as the best, for your problem if you are willing to sacrifice full HD, reducing the resolution to the one just below(1280x720) is also pretty neat since we can play with zooming levels to our desire, I myself find it more comfortable to use.

:good:
Thank you for your answers. Maybe the resolution was set to 1280x720 on CheckROM v6 / Android 2.3.6, so I didn't notice such a difference.
Switched to 1280x720 and now it is ok.
I use Camera Zoom FX for a long time and agree, that it is the best photo solution.

Ya u can change reduce the resolution but it will also reduce the video quality! Goto camera>settings>video quality (change from fine to high)
press thanks if I helped
Not directly related to the topic but don't you guys think that videos shot with our phone is very large in size? And 3gp format really disappoints me :/

Mod Force Camera To record in HDR10
Works for both main and uwa lens

It Breaks H264 Recording
Made using .189 Libs be cautious when using it on other rom revisions
