[cwk_and]

UlTIMATE update(go to 2nd post if you guy wan to know what had be edited),have fun
I'm new to wildfire section and here is the first thread and first mod that i created,
I hope i will make the best for you guy
Before you throw your wildfire into your rubbish,you should read this
NOT working on sense rom,sry dude
(i had the permission to merge the scipt inside melvingchng's recent post)

video sample:

the video record without sound,because i have muted it(privacy hehe)
video taken in Malaysia by me,comment the scenery if you are intrested

very simple to install and can done by your grandma and young children,
go to 2nd post if you want to change sound quality or experimental VGA recording

Method to install(JUST FLASH IT WITH CLOCKWORKMOD),thanks for darkstep making it flashable in CWM3,below are the detail steps:

1. download the second attachments(ultimate camera 4 CWM)
2. launch ROM manager
3. flash clockworkmod recovery(if you flash it recently,ignore this step)
4. reboot into recovery
5. choose install zip from sd card
6. exit and reboot,you are done
7. press thanks and enjoy!!!!if you dont mind

Final Step:
View it in your PC and use a ear phone to feel the change!!!!!

I'm here also explain wat i edited to the scipt
From the original script that inside melvinchng,it only uncompress the image quality and become more viewable in text,However,the video recording are very lag and make it useless,many people unistall it become of the video quality
And i had edited the scipt and make it HVGA recording

Here is what i edited

Red highlighted-word show second edited value
Hight quality
format:3gp(i think it is no different between mv4)
bitRate=12000000
width=480
height=320
frameRate=15(around 15 fps,very depending on light intensity)
Audio codec=aac
sampleRate="32000(to reduce noise)
audio bitrate:96kbps to 160kbps!

inside the camera should hv 4 profile:

The 'high' profile record video at HVGA for 15fps,
The 'low' profile record video at QVGA for 20fps

If you get the messedge about 'sorry,the video cannot be played'.Do not be afraid,just press back,and try to enter the video a few times,i'm sure you will get it will work.
In my observation,highier light intensity will highier the frame per second
If someone discovered VGA recording,please share it here,thanks
give up trying VGA resolution

Press thanks at the bottom if you like this post^_^

Ways to change your sound quality and resolution:

1. Download Lgcamera in market
2. press menu and tap setting
3. change to your desire sound quality and resolution(changing resolution are not recommended,change the video codec to h264 when you are looking for highier resolution)
4. press thanks and enjoy(and melvinchng too)!!!!if you dont mind

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Change log:
30.7.2011:the 1st HVGA recording released
14.8.2011:Sound quality are highier in boh high and low quality,recording in high quality will get the maximum sound quality.
Bitrate from 12kbps edited to 12.5kbps(slightly increase,maximum bitrate is 17kbps,but not stable enought)
04.9.2011:fixed the error about (sorry,this video cannot be played)
The recent version of the camera keep stuck while playing,
now you have very smooth playing after video capture.
11.9.2011:enchanced the sound quality again,which is audio bitrate(form 96kbps to 160kbps).That is almost twice!!
Title name from "better camera 2nd generation" to "better camera ultimate version"
9.10.2011:Released CWM zip(take me couple of time to learnt making flashable zip)
The low profile are now edited exactly same with high profile,only the resolution are different.
The 'high' profile record video at HVGA for 15fps,
The 'low' profile record video at QVGA for 20fps.
The reason why i do this because i realise lower resolution will highier fps.
The audio sampling rate from 44.1khz reduce to 32khz to reduce noise


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Q & A section:
Q:What is meant by ultimate version?
A:Ultimate version stand for the last update made by me,because i have done well and maximum the video recording performance.There is no any way to increase the performance anymore.

Q;Do VGA resolution are working currently?
A:yes it does,but only 1~3fps in lgcamera

Q:Any way to increase the fps of VGA video recording?
A:Unfortunately,there is no way to increase the fps.
Android require h264 to encorde the video at VGA or higher resolution.
h264 require graphic accelerater to work well.
WILDFIRE did't have graphic accelerater

Q:why dont make it to VGA or highier resolution?
A:because the codec H263 only support up to HVGA resolution in wildfire

Q:why HTC did't give the best to wildfire?
A:i'm asking this question too

Q:when is the better camera 3rd generation release?
A:when someone found a way to make VGA recording,i will be gratefull to the people who cound make this

Q:why HTC did't give the best to wildfire?

cos they want u to buy more expensive phones,marketing baby

 

[Alex_GP]

Erm, I have a problem.

When I try to copy the media_profiles file with root explorer, even when mounting r/w, i always get the "not enough space" error. I am S-ON.

When trying to flash with 2.5.0.wahtever CWM it looks like it flashed ok, but after reboot the file looks like the unchanged original
When flashing with 3.0.0.6 (From rom manager) it says that it cannot flash the zip.

Any ideeas, or am I just an idiot?

 

[darkstep]

did u try with adb?

Yeah you can't do it with root explorer since you're s-on, go use alpharevx already

Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

Thanks, adb worked, but only after mounting system in CWM.

 

[3xeno]

Thanks, adb worked, but only after mounting system in CWM.

It's normal, and supposed to be like that, in S-ON devices.

i'm new to wildfire section and here is the first thread that i created,
i hope i will make the best for you guy
before you throw your wildfire into your rubbish,you should read this
as the title say,
i have edited the video camera and it is able record hvga(480x320) video
i'm not stolen anybody scipt because the scipt inside melvinchng is edited by me,i had the permission from melvinchg to make this editing
while waiting for melving chaging to make it cwm zip,
i'm here to give the 'unpatient' user a small guide^_^

there are 2 method,both method are very simple and can done by your grandma and young children

1st method
it is very easy to do it,and only 3 steps:

1. download the attachments below(camera 2nd genetation.zip),extract it with your favoute software
2. copy and paste it directory to system/etc/ via root explorer(remember to change to r/w),replace the media profile inside it
3. reboot your phone and enjor video recording:d

2nd method
thanks for melvinchng had make it cwm zip succesfully

1. download the second attachments(mediaprofiles v4.1zip)made by melvinchng
2. launch rom manager
3. flash clockworkmod recovery(if you flash it recently,jump this step)
4. reboot into recovery
5. choose install zip from sd card
6. exit and reboot,you are done

i'm here also explain wat i edited to the scipt
from the original script that inside melvinchng,it only uncompress the image quality and become more viewable in text,however,the video recording are very lag and make it useless,many people unistall it become of the video quality
and i had edited the scipt and make it hvga recording

This is what original profile:
Format:3gp
bitrate=60000
width=352
height=288
framerate=15

here is what i edited
format:m4v(more viewable on pc)
bitrate=1200000(not comfirm working)
width=480(comfirm)
height=320(confirm)
framerate=15(confirm)

inside the camera should hv 4 profile:

the 'high' profile record edited video,
and the low profile record orginal/unedited video.
User can compair the effect before and after the edited camera.

I will reserve the next post to make the guide of manual editing the video quality and sound quality as well(if someone intrested to diy and believe you can do vga video recording)

i'm keep trying the vga video recording,
i hope we will get this soon!!!
