[MOD] Stock camera quality MOD 5/24/14

PatF · May 21, 2014

Drawing inspiration from what @kevinrocksman was doing over here I decided to have a go at modding our stock camera to increase the bitrate as well as increasing it in third party apps as well.

5/24/14 Update
Fixed a bug with the slow motion recording, it's now triple the stock bitrate. That should help with the quality a lot.
Increased picture quality to 100%
More tweaks to the media_profiles.xml, added 4kuhd but it's still not showing up in 3rd party apps (help?)
Switched to a flashable package (thanks @rompnit !)

Features

720p@18mbps
1080p@50mbps
4k@85mbps(Samsung Camera only for now)
Audio@256kbps for all modes
Always full quality for photos
4k time limit now at 7 minutes

1. Download zip file
2. BACKUP YOUR ORIGINAL FILES and remove SamsungCamera.odex from /system/app if present
3. Flash the provided zip
5. Reboot

DOWNLOAD

Revert to stock

Can you explain the benefits of doing this in layman's terms?

thanks

A more detailed crisper looking image. In my honest opinion the video is a bit mushy and blocky, this helps with that. Also, if you're editing this with serious video software on a pc it gives you a lot more latitude when color correcting and working with shadows/highlights.

Now if I could only fix the auto-correct lol. Sorry about all of the edits.

I see you found the bitrate areas, length is another option to look for.

Just for a deodex rom?

Yeah, I believe so. You could always try it though. As long as you backup your apk and odex files first you can always go back.

It's only for a video recording? What's with the photo quality?

It is for now, I haven't even looked into picture quality yet.

I tried it on odexed stock rom (rooted) - It's working, but only if you delete the .odex file (SamsungCamera3.odex)

Could you add languages support - because it seems to be just english. And maybe 60fps support?

Any change in image quality?

I found length and upped it to just hit the 4GB limit at the new bitrate (7min), is there any way to make it span so it can record longer?

I've upped the picture quality to 100% all of the time now.

It should, yes. Just make sure to backup your old files first just in case.

I haven't changed any of the language files, , I'm not really sure what to do about that. Sorry. Is there any way you can send your SamsungCamera3 odex and apk? I'm trying to make some stock flashables.

Nope not that I know of. If someone was really skilled they could make it automatically make it cut the 4gb file and start with another.
