This bothers me..IMO, bounty should have been paid out already, jumaaneface fulfilled the original request of the camera working on gingerbread. Then comes in has to be cyan and AOSP..thats bs.

This is why I dont participate in community bounty deals, more often than not it goes array. Man did what was asked, pay up.

@ siresh: Do not post in this thread anymore. Thank you for your cooperation.

Is it not possible to use the camera app from the leaked 2.3.4 LG ROM that Paul released now?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] runderekrun:
That has the stock camera in it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] flak0:
Major update: LG releases stock GB rom V21e however LG cam is not on board. This thread will.continue until we can successfully port the LG Cam to GB. (OP also updated )

I will continue work tonight on porting,im taking my netbook to work with me lol.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] flak0:
OP Updated with status and screenshot.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bakedpatato:
100% OT but do you use Eclipse? Or are you one of those Vim-till-APK kind of guys? ;)(or even a vim+Ant guy!) Anyway, rock on dude. :cool:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tidewaterns:
I did the LG update yesterday and I am now kind of mad at myself because I lost the LG camera app. I love the update though, it flies! I am extremely grateful that we have devs like you and all of the devs that are helping or will be helping make this possible. Thank you all for your help and support.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] flak0:
Thanks for the inspiring words dude. I don't consider myself a dev (not yet) lol. Just a android enthusiast who wants LG Cam on GB.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] flak0:
Hmm I'm very unfamiliar with eclipse but I'm more of an apktool kind of Guy. I have built CM from source though lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] overground:
You know you can still go back to 2.2.2 after the update, yet keeping the baseband? I did. Just restored a nandroid and all works well.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] flak0:
Flashing now EB with the V21e update with the modified framework. Will post in the OP my findings.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bakedpatato:
True, your specialty is more of disassembly and not app writing. Eclipse's java debugger is awesome though...although again you deal in dex bytecode. ;)

Edit: I see that the smali debugger asks you to use netbeans...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] flak0:
OP Updated : Still no go , getting closer though I feel it
[T-Mobile LG G2x] doniqcc:
Damn :( hopefully i get some time later tonight i'll take a look at it too
[T-Mobile LG G2x] flak0:
Let me know what you find.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bakedpatato:
Weird...it says that zipalign is not found? I thought zipaligning was only enforced via ant and that the android system didn't care if you did?

But that's not the main problem...seems like you're missing "/etc/sysctl.conf"

Systcl...hmm...perhaps you should create a blank file with the name sysctl.conf? See what happens then?

(PS: an example systcl.conf here )
[T-Mobile LG G2x] somemadcaaant:
Guys,

Have we perhaps tried Pauls leak build of GB, camera app included i would imagine 8)

I'm downloading now to see whats changed, takes me a few hrs to download from Pauls links.

I restored it from TB onto the new GB 2.3.3 update Rom and it is working.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] adevilfish:
yeah i did too today. first time i've had that work (and i mean actually engage, it will always install but it would never engage)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] billydroid:
It's not even fully working on 2.3.3 yet. So your point is moot.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] siresh:
Its better than nothing! I only needed the camera working u dobra care about video.. and he did it. Pay the man!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Schizoeffective:
I think when the cam is fully functional it should be split between the devs the helped.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Schizoeffective:
Ultimately its up to those who put money in the pot to decide. First and foremost flako should decide its his bounty
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bballcat03:
So, what's the big deal with this camera? It looks like the stock camera to me, or am I missing something?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] billydroid:
That's nice for you, if that's all you need. If you bought a camera at a store would want it to only half function? The bounty was created for working port. It's not completely working. Also I agree its up to the donaters ultimately.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] steve841:
The LG app is much more user friendly than the GB camera ... MUCH.

Use it a little and switch back to GB ... you won't be able to put the LG cam app back on quick enough.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] siresh:
I actually can't imagine people video recording with a phone camera, Even stock LG wasn't too great at recording, but by your own theory j face should get at least half.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KingDavid63:
I agree it will probably never work on cm. we got it working on ota, he's not gonna quit working on it. Pay him...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] adevilfish:
If j will post his details I will pay him. It does everything I need right now
[T-Mobile LG G2x] billydroid:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] question.com:
in the change log it says gtalk has been updated. I still dont see the little camera next to the persons name in my buddy list. anyone get gtalk with vid to work?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] princeasi:
So is this app "fully" working on the official build and "half" working on CM?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pecata:
I was wondering the same thing. On mine it did show the littke video icon, but when I tried using it Gtalk kept force closing on me. It didn't work.

Anyone knows how to fix that? Or the problem is that tegra 2 devices are not supported yet?

Thanks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] danz8509:
so is anyone getting 30 fps 1080p with this camera 1.2 update or am i the only one its only getting 14fps for?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] khaos12:
Well, I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but installing this is somehow preventing swype from functioning on the stock ota update. I reflashed the firmware, followed by this zip 1.21 three times and got the same result.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] flak0:
Update to all your questions.

There is still bugs we need to work out. The 1080p @30 FPS is still broken (OP has been updated) however 720p does record fully at 30FPS. Also the FFC is still an issue and needs to be fixed. I have been told by many that the problem is in the libnvomx.so .

With respects to the bounty. You are right Jumaaface does deserve a portiion for his efforts however I believe that the bounty be split in 3 ways between Doniqq, Jumaaface, and myself. However Jumaaface should get a bit more since without his discovery we would still have no LG Cam at all.

With respects to CM7 , I think I may have found a way to get this to work on CM 7. I say this becuase a few months back I successufully ported the CM7 cam from CM7 to a then CM6 Based MIUI and it was fully functional. I remember what I did and I will attempt to do it tonight. I will need some testers but please make sure to NANDROID, just incase you get caught in a bootloop.

I leave work at 1am EST, it is not 7:25P EST. Next update at 2AM EST.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] :
I can test on CM7 if you need testers.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] flak0:
Send me a PM and I should have the package ready by tonight
[T-Mobile LG G2x] doniqcc:
I think the bounty should go to you for keeping this alive and proving lots of ppl wrong and jumaaneface for porting it over and gave us something to work with.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] flak0:
Thanks bro but you also contributed.

BTW: Any updates on the zoom-fix for recording video and the 1080p @14FPS bug?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] doniqcc:
I got it to a point when it doesn't fc but zoom doesn't do nothing.

What about 1080 14 god gug I don't know anything about that ppl having pb ?

I thought I already fixed it to 24 fps
[T-Mobile LG G2x] flak0:
Yeah 1080p is still at 14 FPS . Also can you PM ME and show me how you fixed the FC but zoom not working, maybe I can help get it working.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Schizoeffective:
I can smell this being completed soon. Tomorrow night I will contribute to the pot. Keep up fellas!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] steve841:
So how about suggested ROM's for the LG app ??? It would be very helpful.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
Is there a way to install this and the Stock GB Camera side by side? Well, until FFC is fixed?

It'd also be nice to fullscreen FFC on the LG Camera.

So far so good though! Thanks :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Schizoeffective:
What are the only bugs left?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] flak0:
In theory yes however applied no becuase the libs files cant co-exist unless they are renamed and then the Cam App would have to be modified to look for those libs but then since the libs are closed source we cant make edits to have them look for example lib_nvmox2.so
[T-Mobile LG G2x] flak0:
Please check the OP the most upto-date ones are there.

Apology for Last Night

Hey Everyone just wanted to say "my bad" for last night, instead of going home and working on getting the Cam to work on CM7 , I got drunk lol. Tonight though I will dedicate some time and post a test file for those who expressed interest in testing. Thanks

Can you also try to fix the stretched image on the FFC ?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] siresh:


Ok weird thing don't know if this is just the 2.3.3 ota rom or the camera but I am unable to take screen shots, they come out as just a black background I tried 2 different screen shot apps and both take blank screen shots. I am not sure if camera has anything to do with it but can someone else with the new camera try?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] siresh:
Excuse my noobness it didn't work with stock camera either... anyone know why?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] derekedw:
Looked at the op and didn't see the bug saying the ffc takes portrait shots in landscape format. It's more than just a stretch issue.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] c_brown93:
Yes. True.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] adampdx:
I got this working on EB 2.3.3 only with Vtok. But even then the person I was chatting with could only see snippits of my video and said I sounded like a robot. But I could hear and see her fine.

As long as you got shwasted... I happen to get Lebanese Boy Shwasted myself. Haha. Hookah + Whiskey + Vodka = Bad

But yeah, this app is great!

ALSO: The FFC in Video Mode doesn't work for me. It shows up all glitchy, like green static on a TV.

I am awaiting a response from Doniqq, I followed his method to get the 30 FPS @1080P to work so I am working on that next. The biggest issue plaguing this is the FFC issue, the zoom in video , and the now Flash issue.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] flak0:
Yup its because it cannot find com.lge.star.starconfig. Im confused.

I found it, its in the framework. I ported the LGE folder from the GB framework and now I get a Java exception for AddStorage error. Could it be b/c CM7 uses emmc?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] billydroid:
I'll try changing mount points and give it another try.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] billydroid:
Weird stuff is going on. I realized after I flashed the lg4cm7, I couldn't see any data in emmc. I reflashed cm and change emmc to mount as the internal sd and flashed the cam zip again. But, the i couldn't see any data on my external sd. I give a logacat but I had wiped when I reflashed and my gmail won't sync, that's missing also.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] billydroid:
Well I fixed my weird issue. Wish I could help with the null exception error. But I know nothing

$20 More to the pot.

Let me start by saying you guys are doing excellent work. I flashed yesterday to check it out and its really close. I will pitch in to the "bounty" twenty more, someone is just going to have to let me know who to donate to or whatever needs to be done. Now, I have a question. I noticed when I flashed this it replaces my camera. Is there a way to have both cameras. Is either one available as an apk or somethng? I really like the LG camera but I hate the way the phone has to be in landscape to get it to open. Its quite hard to get a quick pic off when you cant shortcut to widget locker. Thanks again for the hard work.

(Please PM me regarding the bounty with instructions)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bakedpatato:
flak0 if you give me the current apk i'll see what i can do.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tidewaterns:
I see that now but it runs on a CM7 kernel. Thought that it would work. My fault for seeing if it did. Thought that if it did it would benefit yall and everyone else. :rolleyes:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] billydroid:
Flako is the 1.3 cm7 beta different than the one I flashed last night. It somehow broke my wifi . Also getting "lge star ril" process error.

I just realized is this meant for rc1 or should play nice with nightlies.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Schizoeffective:
What u working on today?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] flak0:
I'm a little drunk lol so Idk yet. Doniqq is fixing the cam as we speak so.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] khaos12:
Can someone look into the issue I raised about swype no longer working after flashing this zip? A pop up comes up saying that swype is configured for "another device" and will have limited functionality. Meaning no functionality. This is on the ota gingerbread.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wbales:
request

Don't want to be a troll, Def love what's happening here and am completely AMAZED at what is happening.

I personally want to use my phone to make videos for local nonprofits, when testing out this build I thought the image stability was AMAZING for taking pictures.

would it be possible to add this feature to the video recording section?

Thanks for everything you guys are doing, I'm super stoked, excited, inspired in what this project is doing.

Seriously, inspired.....hoping one day crowdsourcing for nonprofits could look Amazing with things happening like it is here.

Thanks from a recent grad.

Wtf? Is there a fix for this?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tweeklulz:
did you use the right file?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] doniqcc:
That's cause I use my buil.props when I fixed 1920x1088 by 24 fps you can edit built.props and change that or wait for new release coming later today which also the zoom while recording It's fixed :)

[T-Mobile LG G2x] my fear:
tried flashing the 1.3 beta for cm7 and it gave me a bootloop, then did a nandroid and wiped cache before and after and flashed it again but still a bootloop. so i reverted back to stock cm7 and i await. i don't know how to logcat so i don't have that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Schizoeffective:
Is ffc working on the new version?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thedeanius:
CM7 Version

Im not trying to troll here man, but it might be wise to take the cm7 version down since its obvious that it doesnt work, and then possibly have a closed "alpha" testing sesh until it is at least to a point where it will start and not boot loop the phones. I mean does it really take more than 1 or 2 people to prove that its not going to work yet? We all know that people just dont read and are going to flash anything no matter what warnings you put up.

It would be the responsible thing to do.

I appreciate all the work you guys are doing on this. I am interested in trying the app once it is usable.

Just my 2cents.

kthxbai
[T-Mobile LG G2x] flak0:
Hmmm for CM7 I agree however , people are getting bootloops because they were flashing this on MIUI and such. Also When its ready again for testing I will base it off the latest nightly and the CM 7 Stable for G2x.

I will take your advice and remove the CM7 Packages. OP Updated.

New Version for OTA based ROMS tonight!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] doniqcc:
Sorry for the delay guys :( but i ran into some errors yesterday sending the updated camera app over to Flako now so he can update it in op :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] yodataco:
I think this is a problem with the camera not using the tegra2 libraries correctly for the camera. There are some "built in" hardware auto white balancing and auto-exposure compensation that differs from the auto white balance and auto exposure within the camera application programming. I imagine the LG camera has a "switch" depending on the detected hardware, but that switch may not be triggered with this modified version. This leads to much "darker" photos due to the default android image processing being used. The only way i've found to fix this is to re-focus your picture until it is properly exposed/balanced OR to manually adjust the exposure.

The second issue of "quality" is something that a lot of people are complaining about, but this is a bug in the Gallery portion of the application. The camera actually still takes high quality photos. There are two ways I confirmed this. Using MIUI this anomoly occurs when you first load the gallery to see the picture you just took. There are artifacts and horrible pixellated splotches everywhere. The instant I double-tap to zoom in the gallery application "re-loads" the image and the TRUE image is shown which looks perfect. Zooming out shows that all the artifacts and pixelation are gone. I think the AOSP Gallery doesn't do the image re-load, so it ALWAYS looks like a "preview" load of the image. The second way to confirm this is to take a picture and then see the horrible pixellation and artifacts in the gallery. Connect to a PC/Mac via USB & pull that picture off the SD card. Viewing it on the PC/Mac shows that it's a much better quality image than is shown in the gallery.

I know this is long winded.....but I wanted to make sure everyone knew that that particular bug is within the gallery and not the actual quality of the images. Also, I read on Cyanogenmod's forums that CM7 nightly 90+ for the G2X fixed the auto-exposure issues with that camera. I haven't tested it out myself since I'm running MIUI now, but it might be something to look into or ask cm if that change could be ported into the LG camera...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
ummmmmmm, no
[T-Mobile LG G2x] yodataco:
No to which part? The complaining, or the picture quality being good? Also, I tested this several times...so would you like to test it and give us your results? I'm not discounting the merit of the LG camera at all. It is MUCH better than the stock camera. But the artifacts and pixellation don't seem to be coming from the actual camera image processing in my testing, but rather coming from how the gallery shows the picture.
