//EDIT
a few posts below
freemangordon did another fix for abc
so this patch is not needed unless you want to remove an installed abc-patch
or if you want to use quality tweaked libgstdsp.so

_____-____-_____

Hello everybody

i have just finished a script that fixes abettercamera issues with 720p

HOWTO:

1- Download the script from here :
http://db.tt/eGCqXzVK
or
http://www.4shared.com/archive/1-XKf...cpatchtar.html

2- place at MyDocs
Code:
sudo gainroot
tar xzvf MyDocs/abcpatch.tar.gz
./karam/patcher.sh
---------------
usages :
patcher.sh pathit : will fix abettercamera by making it launched after replacing the proper codex. and after closing it 720p ones will be replaced instead

patcher.sh patchit100 : the same as the above one but it activates the 100 quality trick with libgstdsp.so with both abettercamera and stock camera

pather.sh unpatchit : will reverse everything and restore to the previous old status (unpatched)
---------------
so
Code:
./karam/patcher.sh patchit
#or
./karam/patcher.sh patchit100
#or
./karam/patcher.sh unpatchit
---------------
NOTE : THAT THIS SCRIPT WILL REPLACE ALL THE NEEDED FILES
IN A RESULT :
DON'T WORRY ABOUT UNINSTALLING ABETTERCAMERA WITHOUT REMOVING THE PATCH
IT WILL TRIGGER THE PROPER COMMANDS TO /var/lib/dpkg/info/abettercamera.prerm SO IT REMOVES IT WHILE REMOVING ABETTERCAMERA
also will restore the default one if you used unpatchit

plus if you used patchit then patchit100 (wanted to switch) there would be no problems as the script will remove that one and install the new one

for those who want to see the script before downloading it's required files
Code:
#!/bin/sh
# a script to patch abettercamera application for making it compatible with 720p patch
# Created by karam.baki <karam.baki@gmail.com>

if [ "$(id -u)" != "0" ]; then
   echo -e "\033[31mYou need to run this script as root.\nPlease become root (e.g. \"sudo gainroot\") before launching this script\033[m"

Enjoy

thanks to :
freemangordon for the 720p patch
vi_ for bringing up the libgstdsp.so tweak

after doing that
launch abettercamera shortcut normally, and there should be no problems at all

as for libgstdsp tweak it will increase the image quality
also the image size will be increased from ~800 kb to ~1.5 mb

IMPORTANT :
DON'T INSTALL THIS PATCH IF YOU DON'T HAVE 720P PATCH PREINSTALLED
IF YOU DO THAT YOU WILL HAVE PROBLEMS UNTIL YOU REMOVE THE ABCPATCH
