San Francisco custom android 2.2 that records VGA

[Guest Muncles]

hi

i have the orange san francisco. i am on the orange network so i havent debranded my phone yet. i have read that some of the custom roms give you vga recording with 12-25 fps.

is this true?

i have cif recording and i get about 13fps on a clear day. i have the lg camera app which boosts the size upto nearly wvga but the frame rate is still 8-9 if i am lucky.

if i install a custom rom can i boost the framerate or is it not worth it?

i have the b10 version.

thanks :D

i think i read it on here. under enabling vga.

Some funky setting combinations can enable the VGA video mode.

But it doesn't require flashing an alternative camera app or any flashing. In the settings set to "custom" then you can play around with other modes

Note: Only works with Froyo, don't expect any huge quality increase

thanks. i am wondering whether its worth holding out for orange to do the 2.2.

i am not sure how to install the custom roms and i dont know which one would be best.

plus i am on orange anyway so i am thinking it might be worth just sticking with what i am on.

[Guest Mushroom_Lord]

Trust me, the difference froyo makes is INCREDIBLE. It is deffinately worth the install. and best of all, once you've done it once, most of the stuff you will never need to do again!

Oranges 2.2 probably wont be any better than anything found on this forum anyway. It will just be cluttered with orange tat....and ours have great extras such as overclockable kernals (japanese jellysish, flb, and cyanogen)

I reccomend the"flb froyo r10b" for a Troyo ROM. It is very stable and the fastest Froyo ROM i have come across.

Cyanogen is 2.3.3, but its still probably a little buggy for your taste.

is the flb froyo r10b better than the jj9?

[Guest Azurren]

is the flb froyo r10b better than the jj9?

Yeah it has many of the issues which plagued the JapJelly rom fixed

(Battery life, wifi issues etc.)

I think I can go as far as to say that FLB mod is near 100% perfect :D

Edit: Besides JapJelly is outdated: http://android.modaco.com/content/zte-blad...03-17-oled-tft/ :(

[Guest Mushroom_Lord]

you actually don't need to install them seperately, they are included in flb-10b. You only have to download them if you install cyanogenmod.

i have tried two roms this morning. i was able to install them ok. the main reason for me doing it was to see if the camera would be better. i found that the options for the record sizes where less. i could only record in cif. it did show the other options even a vga option but i couldnt choose them. the quality looked a little bit better but not enough to want to stay with the custom roms.

so for now i am going to try the flb for a while but i am thinking of going back to the orange stock.

i had no problems with the install.

the only thing was the usb didnt work. i couldnt see my sd card.

thanks you guys for all your help.

regards

Muncles :D

What you have to do is open the on-screen video quality panel which enables you to choose "custom" and once you've selected that VGA recording will be selectable.

oh right thanks. :D

[Guest Muncles]

i havent been able to use my usb lead. it does connect and it shows the usb sign on the phone and starts to charge but it doesnt show up on my computer. so i cant see the sd card.

i have gone back to the orange rom for now. i have noticed that since i have been back to the orange rom the phone has reset its self a few times.

not really sure what to do next. :D

when you connect your phone to the computer, you need to let the computer access your sd card.

pull down the status bar and press enable copying or something like that. then, you can transfer files to and from the computer

i re installed the flb 2.2 and i did the custom thing with the camera. i know have 12fps in low light and have vga. the quality is better which is great. i also did the pull down thing with the usb connection and it was there. all i have to do know is reinstall the orange settings fro sms and voice mail and i will be a very happy bunny.

thanks again guys.

Good job. There's really no need to ever go back to the stock orange rom, as everything seems to work fine on the flb 2.2 rom you're using, at least in my experience. I would have been completely lost if not for this forum however.

i agree. i have noticed that the phone lags a bit but i ashume thats because i have only just loaded the rom.
