It has powerful processor and flexible Android OS that makes customization for this device really fun.

The cool thing is, in addition to enable your galaxy S II 1080p HD Video Recording, after conducting the steps you will find that it also enhance the sound capture rate at 1920 kbps instead of crappy 64 kbps and enable you to able to use your phone’s camera or camcorder at lowest battery level.

Before the process begins makes sure you back up your old setting just in case something undesirable happened during the process. Please remember that you will proceed on your own risk.
Let’s the process begin, shall we?
- Makes sure you had your Galaxy S II already rooted.
- Download Root Explorer from Android Market.
- Once the root explorer is downloaded and installed on your phone, download the hacked camera.apk file, unzip the modified apk file and then straightly copy it to /system/app of your phone.
- After you have finished copying the file to /system/app, then rename the already existing camera.apk as camera.apk.bak. This step ensures you have a backup in case the new app gives you undesirable effect. Simple rename the old camera.apk.bak to camera apk to restore the device to original setup.
- Now rename the modified apk file you earlier copied to /system/app to Camera.apk.
- Then, exit the root explorer app, and tap the camera icon.
Congratulations, if you conducted the steps right you’ll have your Galaxy S II to support 1080p HD video capture quality.
