Figured that this may help some people who are having issues with the video recorder, despite the plethora of information available to avoid any issue. These flashable zips will disable the 720p recording profile at the system level. The phone will no longer consider itself capable of 720p recording, and as such the option will not be available in the video recorder, or any other camera application.

These files are intended for use with BigMem enabled in the "Semaphore Manager" app.

Flash GTi9000-720pDisable.zip if you are using the normal version of the Semaphore kernel.

Flash HugeMem4.2.1-720pDisable.zip if you want to use the "s" version of the Semaphore kernel. This .zip also included the modified binaries required for HugeMem; if you want to have 409mb of RAM at your disposal.

Personally I'm using the CM10.1 nightlies with Semaphore 2.9.5s, and this patch works fine (I don't use auto-brightness so I haven't got around to updating yet). Should be forwards compatible with future Semaphore releases.

Good work, but have you synced with latest code which fixes the settings panel freeze.
Also,another suggestion, a better method would be to have the toggle, but make the default option be 480p instead of 720p

Also post revert zips too

Camera.apk is not included in the .zip

The change is to the media profiles that the phone reports that it is capable of. The phone tells the camera app that it can't do 720p anymore, so the option doesn't appear.

I haven't made any changes to the settings page for the camera app, or any other part of it, whether or not the fix is synced depends on your ROM.

I'll include a zip that contains the standard media_profiles for the SGS in a few hours, for those that want to revert.

Sorry I hadnt downloaded the zip when I commented. But still, if someone can mod the camera apk to set 480p as default, it would be a better fix

Do I need to install another HugeMem Patch or this includes it?

when you say "Reduce number of frame buffers for more RAM (thanks to DerTeufel). Available RAM - normal version: 384MB - 396MB, 's' version: 397MB - 409MB "

do u mean kernel is not triple buffered anymore??
because triple is a part of project butter in jelly bean..and if its not there will there be lags and all??

I dont think so. I think it reduces the memory allocated to the GPU .
So , with 384MB version , maybe you will have better 3D performance than 409MB version.

Semaphore manager stopped working after build 1/21 cm 10.1. it asks for root, gets root and then a msg pops out that "semaphore manager" needs root access and shuts down.
Anyone else facing this issue?

The buffers are the same for all memory configurations so 3D performance will not vary (for that reason)

Install Busybox and verify if it works. I had a similar issue while updating i897 to 4.2.1 on slim bean. Might be something else but worth a shot.

When i type busybox in termail, i get the list of commands i can use. so am guess its installed and working. Correct me if am wrong.

I can see busybox installed in /system/xbin

Upgraded kernal from 2.9.3 to 2.9.7, wiped cache data using TB and fixed permissions. Uninstalled the app and reinstalled it..still getting the same error

Latest nightly solved the issue..

    Thanks everybody for your words and your support!
    Your huge support and interest about Semaphore makes me want to try even more for something better.

    Maybe it's not obvious, but I'm working hard on this project. Last weeks, I try more to expand my knowledge and contribute to Linux kernel.
    As I said, this may not have immediate affect in Semaphore versions. But I hope for some results in near future.

    Semaphore is here. I'm here. Semaphore will not stop. I will try to contribute to Linux kernel, through this project. Maybe using other device, but with the same goals.

    Thanks again for everything.
