Is it possible to remove FRP by low level format? if so, how could I do so? Just use the HDDGuru software to do so?

Camera Hacks/Improvements

I couldn't find these answer searching so I figured I would try to find out from the most competent droid forum.
I've read several hacks that Incredible users have been able to do that I wanted to see on the eris.
First, is there any way to modify some of the camera files to create images without compression? I saw that some Incredible users completely removed compression from their images and there was a vast improvement. I lost the link but it only involved modifying a few system files.
Also, is the hardware capable of producing .mp4 format video natively? What about increasing the frame rate? Is the hardware capable of 30fps? What about 25 or 20?

Camera access in C.

I'm fairly new to Android (or any) development in general, I've currently made a camera app for more functionality for filmmakers. My question lies in accessing the raw frame stream from the level that the media recorder/omx native source uses to compress video? Reason being, this is the only sure way to grab the frames at a locked frame rate and without going through Java's bottlenecks in grabbing consecutive frames at a high frame rate. I'm searching through the OPPO FIND CM 10 device and kernel sources to find where the magic happens so to speak. Just locating the binder interfaces for IPC at the moment. Is V4L at work here?
Ehm ....which one you use, Mono Android?

You mean an external camera? Like a USB camera? Or an internal camera? Internal cameras may be different, USB cameras might use different drivers. Anyway V4L is available on Android from the NDK, yes. But there are difficulties you'll have to work on.

Video recording 4Go FAT32 limit?

Hey guys,
Since yesterday I'm trying to make "long" videos (~one hour) in HD1080p quality and everytime the size of the video exceed or is near 4Go the recording stops saying limit is reached.
Of course I tried to store in both internal memory and SD card the result is obviously the same.
So my question: is it possible to start a new file (recording) automaticaly? cause if the limit is FAT32 I'm afraid there is no alternative.
May be there is?
By the way, I'm using LineageOS 15.1 2018.02.18-UNOFFICIAL-mido and the default cam recorder.
Thx for your help.
Best regards

You could use google cam to actually record better. (At 60 fps) and possibly you can record more than hour long videos.

Hi, in fact I just installed Open Camera and I think it will do. I can change lot of settings including if and when continue recording etc.
Thx for your time.

[Q] Max supported resolution of a camera? Where and how to change?

Hello guys/girls.
My phone has MediaTek P25 and Samsung s5k3p3 camera hardware.
I know that s5k3p3 is capable of recording 4K videos and I know that P25 supports that. My phone has it set to maximum of 1080p.
My question here is simple... what defines the max video resolution and what would I need to change? Is it just somewhere in some file, defined as a variable or do I need to go into the kernel and change something there?
Phone is rooted and fully unlocked, have some experience with building "custom" ROMs but I was never bothering with this since I didn't have a phone that was limited in such way until now.
Would be really happy if you could help me with that. I'm using Open Camera that has an option to "Enable 4K on unsupported phones" but that doesn't help since obviously the system itself has a limit written somewhere.
C'mon, seriously nobody can give me some guidance to where to start digging for this?
Aaaaaaaanything?

V60 demo unit with retail mode removed , in partially rooted state? Any way to fully root? for camera improvement.

I was recently playing with the idea of modifying certain camera profiles to improve camera performance.
With a demo unit with retail mode removed it appears I can manage to at least view the root directory/files and subfolders like /etc by using Root Browser. I cannot alter files though like delete or change permissions. I can view and copy camera_profiles.XML but cannot alter it. I can edit a copy, but that's about it. I believe it may be possible , if properly rooted to edit at the camera profiles, for at least video to improve quality. The stock camera app only allows low bitrate video. Other apps will allow high bitrate with custom profiles even with 8K video like Freedcam. With this app you can get high bitrate 8K video with customizing profiles with the v60. It also may be possible to get better 64MP stills or maybe even raw by modifying some files
Anyone have any input?
