Turns out 720p recording is even simpler than I thought. Assuming you're using Motorola's camera app and not the stock one, all you have to do is open /system/build.prop and find this line near the bottom:

ro.media.capture.maxres=5m

Change it to

ro.media.capture.maxres=8m

Then reboot your phone. After that, go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications, find the Camera app in the All tab, force stop it if it's running and Clear Data.

After that, 720p should show up as the default recording quality for videos in the Camera/Camcorder app.

So where do I get this motorola camera app. I've installed a different camera app off the market and images are still messed up. Id really like to get this working. I've installed the aosp pack off frm and still no luck.

Sorry, it not work on stock but I have HD video and good image on my Liberty v2.0.1 even without touch to build.prop file. Anyone who are running Liberty can check by yourself.

I've been using the Fission ROM for my Droid 2 Global ever since it was released - it has always felt like the cleanest, most stable ROM...not to mention it was the only available one for a long time. Luckily, people are working on new ones so we'll hopefully see things pick up here in the D2G community soon.

Until then, I've been poking around and tweaking things in my copy of Fission. A few of the preinstalled apps in the stock ROM were useful to me, like Windows Media Sync mode, so I added them back. The crackling and popping while playing music was driving me crazy, so I enabled StageFright and fixed the missing libraries so YouTube and camcorder playback still work too. I have also managed to activate 720p video recording. The camera on the D2G seems to be the same one as in the Milestone 2, which supports 720p recording, so I stole some files from that and got it working after a night of tinkering. It's silky smooth at 29fps and produces fairly massive video files with a 10mbit bitrate.

So I've been thinking, maybe I should figure out how to package up each of these tweaks as update.zip files and release them. I don't really have time to make a whole ROM nor do I want to force my preferences on people by doing that (I like my Dialer buttons to be hot pink with flaming skulls on the sides, so you must too!). I'm just wondering if any of you are still running Fission and whether there'd be any demand for stuff like this. I just blew an entire day and sleepless night rebooting my phone about 80 times while working on this stuff, so I just want to make sure it's not wasted time if I figure out how to release these tweaks in a way that doesn't set anyone's phone on fire.

How did you fix the missing libraries to fix camcorder playback? Just realized its non functional.

For 720p video, just flash Liberty v2.0.1 with romer v7 and camera is ready for you.

How can I access that line of code, for the camera change, in Android Terminal Emulator?

I know what you're thinking, what a noob!!!!

I used Root Explorer, went into /system folder, press and hold on build.prop and select edit as text. Then scroll down to the media capture line (maybe a little over half way down) and change the 5mp to 8mp. Then select menu and save and exit. Also where it says "stagefright" four times, if it says false, change to true, then of course save and exit. Hope this helps

Found where you're talking about, made the change, but when i saved and went back to review, it didn't save the changes. Is the text editor in root explorer different than in Astro File manager? I just hate paying, what; $5.

 

[bmb0y]

So Installed Root Explorer, when i try to open in text editor, it says you cannot edit this file because the file system is read-only.

Because u have to mount the internal storage as r/w to edit then change it back to r/o when you're done. The option to mount as r/w or r/o is at the top of root explorer

I tried this, and now my camera doesn't take pictures, and my video camera closes when i try to record....are you sure you this is working for you guys? I was thinking while doing all this, The sensor for the camera on the D2G is 5mp, how is it physically possible to get 8mp out of a 5mp camera?

 

[jgregoryj1]

Mine is working without any issues. I apologize I forgot to mention after you make the changes in the build.prop reboot your phone immediately. Then the changes should work. Let us know if it works.
