Hi !
I am new here so I can't post to dev forums yet but I wanted to let it be known to whomever that 1) I REALLY appreciate the extremely hard work that has been done by jokersax and the rest of the dev team on the Photon 4G CM9 project. It is AMAZING!! THANKS!!!! and/but ....
2) I have not been able to use the video camera for RECORDING with any of the betas. Other camera functions including taking rear cam stills and front cam stills/face unlock work fine and always have for me on the betas but rear cam video recording on 720p mode will lag to complete unusability and record button does absolutely nothing in ANY mode. Switching rear cam to 480p will reduce lag in viewfinder significantly but STILL will not record.
My (very)uneducated GUESS is that this problem is somehow connected to the inability to play back ANY previously recorded videos in hardware render mode without MAJOR lag. Using an aftermarket video player (mobo/MX) allows for switching to software rendering in settings, which then allows playback at VERY slow motion at BEST, but smooth slow motion which is better than nothing I suppose. I also had a similar problem on an Optimus S that turned out to be related to the SD card for some reason. I am lost on this one.
I have cleared all caches multiple times, reinstalled stock everything, reinstalled the betas and so on and so on, but have NEVER had a working VIDEO camera since the alphas/betas started showing up. I haven't seen very many people complaining about the video camera and video playback issues so I have remained quiet, assuming there would be a fix on the horizon and that maybe this particular issue was just not very important to the majority of my fellow users. Please advise on any possible fixes or with any information or service I could provide to help make this AWESOME project even better than it already is.
I have been on the main thread for this project everyday for around 2 weeks now, but have not found my answer. I have only seen a few people post about this but did not see anyone get an answer. I apologize if I missed something that was already posted. I did search as well as I could for a solution.
I am NOT a great developer but I AM very good with all the technical stuff and can follow directions fairly well. (I THINK!! ) This video camera problem is the ONLY problem I am having with this rom, other than the loss of 4G, which I could really care less about at this point. I just clocked my 3G after installing 0.3.0 at almost 2Mb !!! That is the fastest 3G I have ever seen in my area!! ) Thanks again for this great rom !
AFAIK video recording is still a no-go. Has been for me atleast, I haven't flashed to the latest Beta yet though, im charging up now for it actually. Ive got no issues with video playback using a third party software and I use it regularly. Sure its only a matter of time until Joker gets the few remaining kinks worked out.

Roger that and agreed!! Joker is THE MAN and he has not left us hanging yet so I can wait!! I am currently on the latest beta, 0.3.0 and it is nearly flawless IMO except of course for the video cam and video playback issues, and some minor quirks here and there which are to be expected. I cant wait to see whats next!
Thanks a lot for your reply!
i read on the main thread some one say videocam illusion app works, its a little choppy but works..

anything new?
Sorry it has taken me so long to answer, but in case you don't already know, A LOT has changed in terms of getting the camera working correctly in the builds I am using. Right now I am using a MIUI port by TheBill and Spleef which is based off of Joker's CM9 work, and it is AWESOME! VERY smooth, and I have video recording AND playback, by using Videocam Illusion app for recording and MX Video player for playback in the SOFTWARE render mode. It works very well!
Joker seems to be making MASSIVE strides forward in getting CM9 perfect for the Photon. It is definitely worth the time and effort to follow his work and to flash its' results on the phone as they become available. He just announced that he may have cracked the proprietary code issues plaguing development of the portion of his CM9 responsible for 2d accel and video, which we have all been having issues with.
Cant wait to see whats next!!
Video recording
Hi guys any update on the Video recording issue that was present ?
I also have the same issue. Have tried the videocam illusion but i think it works well in 640X480 resolution only, if i increase the resolution there is a significant lag.
Other than the video camera all other things works great.
I keep seeing everyone say video cam illusion works but whenever I use it I can view the video immediately after I record it, but after that how do you view it? I go to the video camera illusion folder but the videos all show up as text files.

guys here my sgs2 in not record the good video when ever i try to make video its make good video at start but after some time its record the blurry video (SMOKY VIDEO) WTF is this nokia n8 make better video then sgs 2 please help me out how to solve this problem
someone please help me
Can you please check your grammar?, i dont understand what you mean
what rom you are on?
custom or stock.
what i think happening is you are getting out of focus while recording, can you make a 30 sec / 1 min video preferable in 720P and upload to youtube.
and for your swearing about N8, that thing had one of the better camera sensors, so dont compare it.
Hi, this is my first post on here so I won't try to be too noob like.
I was just wondering if HX-Camera Mod worked for the I747?
It seems like a great mod and I would love to be able to use it.
any help guys?
I did some searching for this camera mod you are talking about after I saw Zedomax 's YouTube video. He had it for the international GS3, so I searched around for a US version but found nothing. I'm sure we will eventually get it. The camera is still awesome without it....

Hey,
I tried it out on the N/A version I am on Rogers S3... all 720p modes did work, the audio however maxed at 129/130kbps....was recording stereo....and peaked at just under 20 meg/sec for video bitrate.... under 1080p mode only mode that would work was normal I think it was, and I don't recall the audio bitrate but I think it was the same as 720p mode... normal mode on 1080p gives you 19 meg/sec as well...
definitely dont try it until a dev CONFIRMS that hx mod is a go for u.s. variants.
As mentioned it does work about 90% of it, your missing out on the 2 high settings in 1080p mode that's about it...but still gaining 1 level up in bitrate with using just normal, so it's not like it doesn't work at all, and worse case you backup you camera apk and reinstall if need be.
Hey guys,
I just saw some nice stuff that was did on the nexus7, like enabling 720p video recording with front cam.
Well, our beloved phone can do this without problems.
But the crap is, that the s3 has only 3 or 4 choosable resolutions, one is 1280x960, other 2 are more like squares, and the standart 640x480.
But actually I want to take picutures in 720p or 768p, what would be below the 2MP range. I know the phone is able to do it, since it does video recording i the same resolution.
Maybe someone can tell me, what file need to be modded to enable this?
I would try it.
with regards
alex
Do any modder want to make a camera mod for our loved Mido?
The phone with Sony sensor has the same sensor which has the G6. LG G6. Sure you know LG makes a way better quality pictures.
I searched all day, but dont really find any good mod for camera like Cyberian camera mod for SONY Z3. The hardver can record at 1080p 60fps example, but the phone cant record in 60 fps... Tried with custom kernel and roms and with 5 camera apps. With MIUI and all stock too.
The algorythm itself is the biggest problem. My friend take fotos in RAW, and these photos are really good. But when change to jpg, all gone wrong.
Sure some modders can make a mod, but they haven't done yet for any reason.
I know, best answer is that "make it you" "there is a lot of sources" but the problem that i don't know nothing about doing mods or roms. And i am a Windows user.
So please, any modder who reads this post, please, can try to make a mod for our Mido? The camera can be better. There is a lot of rom with performance and battery enhancements and with a lot of modification settings, but nothing real camera mod.
Thanks for read the whole post!
Sorry for my bad english!
Best regards,
Holozis
Nice thought but let's see .. Anyways the oss hal implementation has done a great job with Mido camera thanks to LOS
