ICS Camera on Gingerbread - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear all,
I understand that ICS update on our S2 brings (among other things):
- Stereo Sound on video recording
- Better image quality on photos and video
Is there a way to move these changes into gingerbread? I mean i don't wanna update to ICS, I'm fine on my custom 2.3.6 and just want Stereo Sound and better image quality
Should we just copy camera.apk?
Your thoughts please

Won't work. Different framework.

I guess it will work, cause it's coded within camera.apk.

Try it & see if you can get it to work then.

does anybody have the official ICS for S2 camera.apk so i can try it ?

Trust MistahBungle because it won't work. Different framework.

ok.... so we are stuck with mono. .... until someone expert finds a solution...

Just curious, what good is stereo sound with just one microphone and speaker? Is there a way to record with two real channels?

That's how you activate the sound. I was asking if there was a way to change the sound. The current one is too tinny. I prefer the way the stock keyboard 'sounded'.
No.

Well, then you need to overwrite it with something less "tinny". Seriously, get a better keyboard which makes this configurable.

Thanks. I've yet to see a third party keyboard that can adjust the actual sound of the keytap and not just the volume.
Ummmmm....there is most certainly a way to change this...use root explorer and go to system/media/audio/ui and all the UI sounds are listed under there, just replace keypressstandard.ogg....im sure it would need to replaced with another .ogg file format.
Thank you!

Two way voice recording no hope?

Any chance to get two ways voice recording enable on SK17i?
if u meant call recording then you can try auto call recorder even its free version is good with no limit cap on recording.
I support the topic. Is there any solution?

The latest version (1.0.8c) creates unreadable 3gp files (at least at my device). So i could not check this app. Currently I have found "CallRecorder S" stably writes both ways but, unfortunately, from a microphone. It is strange but other side sounds even better than my voice.
I am still looking for the application allows to record from the line at SE Xp Mini pro.
I understand that it can be useless in case of absence proper driver in the kernel, but I have not found any info that it is impossible.
I have finally get it work, but is there any other way to record it during using bluetooth?

let us know what u used
I use total recall and it works with build-in microphone, but only one side recording with bluetooth.
Use Rage Kernel, and choose an app to record calls.
2way call recording is possible with the right libs, so you need to modify your kernel.

You are welcome. Let us know if it works because i am also interested in this. Another app that has been cited before is AutoCallRecorder by Roman G:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.romang.callrecorder&feature=order_history
It has been updated since the users posted in this thread their review. Maybe now it works.
Nice posts! Thanks dudes.
If someone flash the kernel, and lend only the audio libs (libaudio.so for example) related with 2WCR, if flashed to replace the stock libs, without flash the kernel, the 2WCR works?
Someone with flashed kernel can upload the .so files? I wanna to test, I'm just a curious noob
I want the .so:
libaudio.so
libaudioflinger.so
libaudiopolicy.so
Use Root Explorer or Root Browser from Google Play and navigate to /system/lib then copy the libaudio files to your sdcard, and upload, if someone want help. I will try today if possible.
Regards.

These files are not affected with kernel installation and are the same on most ROMs.

[MOD] Beats Audio on Android

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1511335
This thread has a link to a cwm flashable package that has Beats Audio libraries. I flashed it on my TouchPad and it sounds a lot better, but I might just be crazy?
Note: I'm using Beats headphones with it, not the speakers.
Double Note: I didn't pay for the headphones, don't worry. Ugh. haha

This is working very well. now my music sounds the same as beats enabled WebOS!
This only for headphones right? Does it have any effect on speakers?
will this work on other android devices...such as xperia play?

did you flash w/ android 4.0.3 or 2.3.6?
how do I remove this because I have an annoying clicking noise after every sound, its more like an echo like(click click click click click click)
guys i dont think that this flashable zip can bring beats audio to android
first flash the zip and try the sound in android you will see that the sound much better
but the truth that sound in touchpad webos is 100 time better than this

Most of these mods have no way of going back which is why you should always do a nandroid before applying any mods.

I can confirm that this does bring beats back to the touchpad pretty well. I have noticed that on the latest official nightly of cm9 the audio starts to malfunction when the screen turns off. Sounds like an AM radio and real crackly anyone know a fix?

Doesn't the Touchpad already have Beats Audio built in? The hardware is what's going to make the difference--this is just an equalizer with a bass boost.

Beats Audio isn't indicative of differing hardware. When the libs were extracted from the HTC Rezound, it was discovered that Beats is nothing more than a software EQ, capable of running on any device once the correct files are installed. Flash it and you'll hear a difference.
Cool

Look what I "stole" from kindle fire fourms. Also is it possible to...

I was lurking around kindle forums cause my sister has one and wanted a rom for it so I found this beats audio sound apk for settings which is cool but have not tried it on rez yet.
Also is it possible to port over some features from GSIII, like voicing out answer or reject when phone rings, texting while watching a vid, screen wont dim when facing you and some others i dont remember?
EDIT Beats app does work if put into system and its pretty much a themed Dsp manager which looks badass, BUT the settings in the app dont work on Viper rez rom

about the beats apk.......I had read somewhere that there was a mod for beats audio to work with ANY audio on the Rezound, not just the stock music player. Anyone know where I can find that? I haven't found it.
