Nexus One Hacked To Allow 720p HD Video

NexusOne is still one of the hottest Android OS powered smartphones out there, even though Google has not been keeping up with the updates. The developer's community over at the xda-developers forums has done a marvelous job of providing us with new features.

First Cyanogen added support for 802.11n WiFi in CyanogenMod, and now, an xda-developers forum member by the name of charnsingh_online made an announcement that he made a patch for CyanogenMod which enabled 720p video recording in the Nexus One.

To get the mod to work you’ll need to be running Cyanogen’s CM5.0.8test3 and up. This means that for the time being Froyo is not supported, but an update for 2.2 is said to be coming soon along with improved audio quality and fps rate which requires a bit more tinkering.

Cyanogen himself expressed interest in rolling this patch into his next release, so you won’t have to keep patching for too long.

Get the patch here, or here and check out the video below:
