[MAGISK][MODULE] HEVC Recording Enabler v0.3

[eathtespagheti]

Update time

After some tests, I've noticed that the bitrate reduction just doesn't work, so untile future updates the half-bitrate version it's just a WIP. BUT, I've made some changes to the original version, here's the changelog:

- Add HEVC support for all configurations previously used with H264
- Add HE-AAC support in HEVC encoded profiles
- Remove config files that doesn't affect the mod result
- Update HEVC encoder configuration to match the same limits has H264

I'm updatind the original post too!

HALF-BITRATE (kinda) FINALLY WORKING

I've been able to make half bitrate version working, tested only with 4k60fps, using half the original bitrate value the effective bitrate drops from 120mb/s to 80mb/s (2/3 of the original) using about 2/3 of the space compared to original, download here: oneplus-6-6t-hevc-recording-half-bitrate-v0.2.zip

After like two full days of trying I havent been able to reduce the bitrate, changing the default parameters seems to not affect in any way the camera settings, still choose some values automatically that are even different from what's written in the original config file without mod





Well, AndyBury has a point! In fact the HEIF and HEVC are strongly related, and according to Wikipedia "The HEIF specification also defines the means of storing High Efficiency Video Codec (HEVC)-encoded intra images and HEVC-encoded image sequences" which surerly means something, but tbh I'm not so sure what's this something. Anyway I was already planning to trying enable HEIF via media_profiles, but seems something more complex than just adding a codec in a list, the only standardized usage of HEIF right now seems to be the one used by Apple on iPhones and Macs, I think that until Google doesn't implement in some way HEIF photos with camera we can't do anaything about it.

No rush and thanks for the update

v0.2.1

Reduced bitrate again, upgrade to version v0.2.1, check the original post

Noice!

You're doing great! Any chance of being able to tweak the audio quality? Like to 192 or someshid. I've been poking with the XML files meself and can't get anything to change.

I will take a look and let you know :good:

For me it seems this broke carrier video calling. Also it seems that removing the module doesn't reset the files that were changed to what they were before.

I haven't tested carrier video calling, after removing the module you're able to make video calls?

Removing the module should reset all the files to their original state, pretty sure about that, supposing you have installed it via Magisk Manager. Im not sure if it work the same way flashing via recovery.
If you need them I can upload the originals file so that you can replace them.

No it didn't revert back after removing the module

You can find the original files Here, they go in /vendor/etc

Hy everyone!
Ive got a question.
I've been using this magisk module for my 6t for the hevc codec.

What is the difference to your mod?
( Using it for 10 months and no problems so far)
I don't want to say anything negative about your work but is there anny difference?
And if is can you make any use of that plugin?!

Woah I was searching for this mod everywhere, since I've didn't found it I've started my own one

I've looked to his files, mainly he doesn't fully "declare" that hevc it's enable and he doesn't correctly add to the supported codecs, there's a chance that hevc will not work with third party apps.
Plus his module enable only HEVC and not HEAAC, which I've enabled in mine, but to be fair I'm going to remove it in the next release to get a better audio quality.
Last but not least important he use the same bitrate values without changing it, while I've made two versions of the module and in one of them I've reduced the bitrate to get about the same video quality as the original H264 codec but with almost half the space used

EDIT:
I'm not planning anymore on removing HEAAC since has turned out that the audio quality with bitrate under 128kbps it's better when using HEAAC instead of AAC, and that AAC has better audio quality for bitrate over 128kbps.
Sinche the audio bitrate for oneplus camera it's 96kbps, I will stick with HEAAC, but I will made some test's to check if I'm able to get a better audio quality increasing the bitrate (and eventually going back to AAC)

Thank you, developer, got HEVC encoding and a good audio bit rate. Since the stock OP6t camera does not accept external mic. is there any way to enable this using the same module. the open camera app does not give good quality as stock. And G-cam does not give us 4k 60fps.

Using Whatsapp audio calling trick while external mic connected, audio from this mic in stock camera does work. But is there any way without using the Whatsapp calling trick to make it work? 4k60fps + external mic in stock?
