Hi people!
after 3 days loosing all days and nights of good sleep, I finaly did!
Finaly, I edited SoundRecorder, the standard recorder app of xperia x10 mini, xperia mini, and some others devices, to record audio in AAC encoder, with 16 bit encoding and 22khz of sample rate!
The difficult thing for me was to learn java and object orientation to do this (believe, I'm dumb with these 2 things )
Well, here I go.
First, I watched this video to learned how to get started:
Then, I downloaded the source code from this site:
http://gitorious.org/0xdroid/packag...rees/cefd3e81da22167a56c89a8794c9b8dfe67a7673
and using androids developer's home page and oracle's man page, I could correct some erros, and recompile the APK.
Finaly, here is the project if you would like to improve the program , which I will do in the future to add some functions like choose sample rate, container, and codecs, and in the folder bin you find the APP
To install, you can use eclipse, connecting your phone to your computer through usb and hit run android app or use this program:
APK Edit v0.4, allows you to edit your apk file
That is it!
Thanks and, please, comment!
Nice job buddy....... i envy yur courage!
Nice try mate Btw actually i am searching for stereo recording app, since if i use usual app from market, the sound quality is not good. But if you know about Video recording on Xperia 2011 devices, you know the quality is much better (unfortunately i don't want the video, just sound). Can you achieve that
Thanks whalesplaho!
hansip87, I think its possible...
At the developers page, I remember of some codes to choose stereo in instead of mono...
I left mono because I tought: since the source is a microphone, stereo will not work and the file will be bigger for nothing
anyway, I will take a look and try to compile it with stereo record... when its done, you will can download it from here
Here it is!
Now with:
Sampling Rate 44100Hz
Audio Encoding BitRate 128kbps
Audio Channels 2 (stereo)
Audio Encoder AAC
Output File .3gpp
Attention: with this configuration, your file grows 16KB/s... a file with 1 minute has 960KB aprox.
and now you can launch the app direct, without need other app
Can I install it using root explorer???
sent from my Walkman
I think you can...
I've improved the app... Added a menu to select sample rate, bit rate and channels..
Next week I'll make a menu to show the configurations choice...
Sent from my ST15a using XDA
When I try to listen to what I recorded, I can't listen to it, it seems to be a codec faliure, or a problem accessing SD card, I would recommend you to add mp3 codec to record, its a more standarized format and maybe a built in player will do a nice app, sure it will sell @ android market Nice one budd!
I have a HUAWEI g300, and while the quality of still images taken with the camera are great, video quality is awful. Or, to be more specific, the audio that goes with the video is very poor.
I believe that this may be due to the file format of the video.
For this reason, I would be interested to know whether there are any ways to change the file format which videos are recorded in. Are there any alternative camera apps that are any good, which ideally allow the user to select their own file format? My device is rooted btw.

Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 ZOOM (SM-C105).
I use it at work to record videos (1280x720), send to the company after previous encoding to a lower bitrate. (to reduce file size) - which unfortunately takes a long time.
I would like to change the settings to immediately record a lower bitrate.
The phone is rooted and I tried to edit the file "media_profiles.xml" but it does not change anything. Even threw him out of the catalog and still camera records the old way.
Edited the file on the phone and copied another. I have a feeling that my phone does not use that file.
Did I do something wrong? Can I do it differently? Where do I change the settings to reduce the bitrate?
I tried to use other camera.app but they are not suited for this camera (optical zoom etc.)
I will be grateful for your help.
Regards
Lech

Hello there! I've searched for an answer to this on the forum, but couldn't find anything. Similar threads were in this part of the forum, so I hope I've posted this in the right area.
I'm trying to upload a video that I've recorded using Snapchat as a story without rooting my HTC One. The video was recorded on the app, downloaded, and then sent as a one-time view video rather than added as a story at the time. This means the video resolution should be fine and that it doesn't need to be trimmed. I've had success sending the video again by:
- Recording a sample Snapchat video
- Using the Task Manager to swap to File Explorer
- Pasting my video into Snapchat's my_media folder
- Replacing the name of my video with the exact title of the sample video (including nomedia file extension)
However, when I try the same method for posting a story it shows my video on the app, but then says that it can't set the video as a Snapchat.
There's clearly something else that needs to be altered. There are sometimes sesrh_dlw prefixed files in the my_media folder with .mp4.nomedia extensions, but they can't be viewed as videos.
Does Snapchat take a note of the length and file size of the video and check whether it correlates when you try upload it as a story? And if so, why doesn't it do this when you send it as a one-time view video.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
it's very easy
You need to delete all the contents of the folder (mp4.nomedia and jpg.nomedia ).
Turn off the network and send a video to your history. Will be creat an file in the folder (/sdcard/Android/data/com.snapchat.android/cache/my_media/). This is your history. Copy the new video to this folder and rename with the history's name.
Turn on the network and resend the history.
P.S. I don't speak English
Does that work for the Snapchat story? I know it works for when you send videos individually to people in your contacts but couldn't find a way to upload a video for everyone to see as a 'story'.
