PEOPLE, just duct tape your iPhone to a handy cam and shoot away.

shehabelkadi, Way to be a debby-downer. They said a lot of things could never be possible but they are. As proven in the debug posted to this thread, it's NOT hardware based and IS possible. That debug states a call to SOFTWARE, not hardware. That comes straight from a Dev-Team member I consulted on the issue.

Now, unless some of you smart-asses have something supportive or relevant to add or any suggestions on how to enable this or work out the kinks...go play somewhere else and stop derailing our thread, trolls.

^ what he said.

The heart of the video recording is not the MobileSlideShow app but in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/PhotoLibrary.framework. There is the place you might want to look at.

There seem to be so many negative people on this forum it's untrue, every suggestion for upgrading the 2G or 3G is met with "you can't do this" or "you can't do that"!

I see no reason why this isn't possible, the only thing that Apple will have changed will be the CCD of the camera to give it 3mp instead of 2mp, I very much doubt any extra hardware was added specifically for video recording!

I just decrypted the 3GS firmware... but I need to take a shower and am late for work. Im uploading it on my dropbox, so whoever knows what theyre doing and wants to poke around (wish i could but were on a windows environment at work... ugh) just shoot me a PM or IM me on AIM and I will hook you up.

Hmm looks like my internet speed is sucking right now... might be a little bit before this actually gets uploaded.

Alright I got it uploaded if anyone wants to take a look PM me with your email address.

Well... Thanks for your solution... I will just do that.

Anyway, as I said, Hardware and Framework, and lots of plain old school reading and digging into the SDK.
I have unproven confirmations that video is ported but slow as hell... if so, this proves my point. Framework needs to be recompiled to get higher frame rate from the 3G video hardware (in theory you can get just around 15 fps).

If I find any useful info for you guys I will post it, but I refuse to keep working on surface edit in the files, and pretend that I am getting somewhere.

As for being a deppy-downer, I concur... I am also called the fun killer, the grin master, and on many occasions I am referred to as the honest guy.

Over, and out.

can you upload the decrypted the 3GS firmware to megaupload pls,because i have an idea how to activate the video recording in iphone 2G & 3G

this is my mail: niculaescu_tudor@yahoo.com

[skierdb526]

whats your idea?

All the ppl posting in this thread that believe they will unlock video recording/editing...

I know anyone that goes against what your doing is considered a downer or whatever someone called someone...

The code in the 3GS firmware is looking for particular software.. sure but that software will be looking for hardware that does not exsist on the 3G... thus it will not happen... its like asking for GPS on a 1G iPhone.. it will not happen.. so if you were able to enable the blue dot in the 1G does not mean it will get GPS... same here... just because you have enabled the switch.. does not mean you will get video recording... the software will not support this hardware and the other way around...

Not being a downer.. just trying to save a lot of you time.. and effort... along side ppl that don't understand what is going on here.. and we are gonna have a 30 page thread with nothing achieved....

Any of you that feel like flaming or bashing go ahead... its just the truth wether you face it now or 2 months from now when you have gotten no where....

He's right.

Ya I know. The point is that without the hardware behind it, you most likely will never see video recording done with a higher framerate than Cycorder on a 2g. So it's a little like reinventing cycorder. Now I know it would still be awesome to have even that natively using the built in app and I'm all for it.

If you check the other thread here, you will see we are working on MMS on 2g if possible.
