You can play with the values in /system/etc/media_profiles.xml but may be ultimately limited by restrictions at kernel level for the moment

Edit: you also need to consider potential sd I/O limitations

The /system/etc/media_profiles.xml only work on Android 2.2 devices ( to my knowledge )

I don't care about I/O a class 4-6-10 works very well ( y can play videos with 20mbps and higher bitrate at 1080p without buffering ) and the SGSII with about 7MB/s of writes speed can do 30mbps so i think the sensation with higher i/o its ok.

The DSP it seems better than the SGSII, so i so I think you will not have bottleneck.

About the kernel... What?
to my knowledge, the O2X SGSII don't use the kernel to control bitrate speeds.

dipje · Jul 27, 2011

historically, the media_profiles linked to settings _in the kernel_. So changing a single file would do nothing without patching the kernel too.

(The media_profiles.xml file just describes the os what to expect, but it's the kernel + radio that actually controls the DSP). This is why you need a certain kernel + radio image for the HTC Desire for instance to enable 720p recording.

Now, I have no idea if it works the same on the sensation, I have _no_ information about the internal workings of the newer DSP.

For now, trust me when I say that comparing things to the SGSII has _no_ use whatsoever. The DSPs and the way of fetching images from the sensor are completely different. Also don't expect changing a simple .XML file will make a difference. This has not worked on HTC devices before, but who knows, maybe we're lucky now.

Bitrate can be affected by tweaking media_profiles.xml alone, in GB too, and yes, the kernel does come into it - video decoders & encoders

Just take a look to media_profiles... i cant see 1080p there, and any usefull information... so i think media_profiles isnt being used.

Ok, so... if edit kernel is needed, what is next? we can't do nothing? ( until become S-OFF? )

Look again at the bottom of said xml. Even if you lift any constraints in the apk smalis they will be overidden by the limitations in media_profiles

Done a lot of development on these devices over the past few years, min/max Bitrate is defined in media profiles, along with several other "limitations"/ "min/max" values.

If additional kernel modifications are required (which is in theory possible) we would require source and s-off yes

Rest assured, as soon as the source is up on HTC developers, a custom kernel is my number 1 priority

Ok for now, we gonna wait.

The improvement of the camera is nessesary!! i think the sensation have a hard compression, and that was the reason why that crapy photos, and blurred videos. ( only 10mbps at 1080p and 8mbps at 720p )

thanks for the help.

charnsingh_online · Jul 28, 2011

media_profiles are only applicable to AOSP Roms and programs in the market, HTC controls everything on Sense from the Camera.apk itself

|ErosizeD| · Jul 28, 2011

Stupid answer... deleted xd

|ErosizeD| · Jul 30, 2011

Well, finally we get S-OFF, so i will download the kernel, and check if we can do something with the camera

|ErosizeD| · Jul 30, 2011

Okay i managed to get it working.

i wanna make a few things more, on design of the camera, and i will show everyone.

Front Camera

Is there a way to improve the brightness/contrast of the front camera also? In med-low light levels when video chatting its completely dark.

I'll take a look, but i think this is more from kernel, and not from the APK.

Here are two videos, first one with the mod and the second one without it - I hope tomeu won't mind if I post them

itsmikeramsay · Jul 30, 2011

Can't wait to mess with this. I'm getting me and my fiancée probably two 16GB class 10 cards so we definitely take advantage of this.

It actually looks way better. Can't wait to try it out on my phone

If you can (and may) can you upload your captured videos somewhere? The bitrate-improvement is visible, but youtube destroys it quite alot because 720p youtube has pretty low bitrate by itself. From the screenshots tomeu posted I'm actually very interested in the stream the Sensation creates, and I take back any negativity about it being possible

How many times is better the camera and camcorder now?

It's over 9000Thousand!!!!!!!!!!

Actually 100% Better

I think its better.

I dont feel real diference...
