[Experimental] Froyo 720p Playback + Fullscreen Video recording !

Does anyone know the solution for this problem:

I tried using this library update (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=935017) by -={antibyte}=- to obtain 720p fullscreen recording on my Moto Defy. Result: Camcorder crashes on startup. Quick switch to CIF mode (had to do this from the Camera app) and it records but switch back to VGA and it crashes.

Stupid me forgot to backup before I did this so I need the default media_profiles.xml found in /system/etc and the default libraries found in /system/lib.

Yes, I am a noob. I switched from iOS to Android just last month.

EDIT:
JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_177-003
Android 2.2.2,
but this tweak changed it to 2.2.1

I already «changed default boot method in 2ndinit to normal and reboot», but still can't use VGA record.

Thanks


EDIT:
Solved, I reflashed the phone using RSD Lite with the stock ROM, everything is back to normal and I made a nandroid backup.

I thought the fix in this thread was only applicable to Froyo (2.2.x).. not gingerbread (2.3.x), which is what you got?

What encoding level/profile is the video?

Try the trial version of Diceplayer, as it offers HW acceleration which performs some functions faster than is possible in software running on the phones CPU, hopefully eliminating that video lag.

I've installed the 720p patch to allow hi-def recording but the camera app now doesn't start now.
Someone have the stock/original zip file so I can restore the libs?

OK, I went ahead and installed this and it went OK.

However, my camera won't show anything on the screen, just black. I can still snap photos, just can't see anything in the "viewfinder". Also, when starting the video recorder, it dies immediately. I've set it to VGA through camera options but no luck.

Can anyone provide any suggestions?

I backed up prior to flashing this, so no issue going back. Would just really like to have 720p recording capability. I've got a red lens defy.

    Froyo only !

    Plays a 720p Demo Video i have that did not play before.
    Playback is okay, but it lags a bit every few seconds on the video i use to test.

    EDIT : Lag is because this is a "High Profile" vid. (Blueray quality)

    h264info com/clips.html <- add the dot

    Used for test :
    Serenity – 720p “On HD DVD” Trailer
    Video Type: 1280×720 (720p), 23.967 FPS, CE-High profile (PS3 and Xbox 360 compatible)

    Its experimental and not tested alot, so do a backup before you try.
    This is not installable with recovery. You have to push files and folder
    to /system/lib

    ****** EDIT *******************************
    Now also the stock Camera is recording in fullscreen 848x480
    Working package for recovery can be found in post #24

    Okay, i made a recovery package.
    I Hope it works this way.
    Camcorder may crash on the first start.
    Restart the camcorder then and set the video mode to VGA.

    Backup before trying.

    PS: I also added GenieWidget (cool News and Weather Widget) and Gallery3D, as i
    missed this apps in Froyo :)
    And you can just type "remount rw" now to mount the filesystem writeable.

    720p cannot be set as it is not in the list of supported resolutions.
    We need to find the location of this list to patch it.

    01-31 18:06:14.075 1243 1384 D LibSOCJordanCamera: +setParameters
    01-31 18:06:14.075 1243 1384 I LibSOCJordanCamera: Changed: preview-size: 848x480 -> 1280x720 {176x144,320x240,352x288,480x360,640x480,848x480}

    Min trying that file with your BlurCamera.apk moded for 1280. It should now allow this resolution. I had hoped that it works with hacking libsoccamera.so alone, but it does not seem to. However:

    01-31 13:42:04.569: INFO/LibSOCJordanCamera(1248): Changed: preview-size: 0x0 -> 640x480 {320x240,480x360,640x480,848x480,1280x720}

    01-31 13:42:04.569: INFO/LibSOCJordanCamera(1248): Extract changes completed, 2 total changes


    But, further up it does this, which is believe gets the camera into non 720p mode (I means the BlurCamera is not exposing them):

    01-31 13:42:03.999: DEBUG/MotoCamSetting(2648): loadFlexValue() - Enter

    In build.prop we can see:

    ro.camera.DynamicFocus=true/false
