I still have no clue how to install this. I don't want to root my phone. I thought this was like a update.zip type file. Ended up factory resetting my phone. I see something about clockwork recovery, but I thought that only works on rooted devices. Sorry, I'm just clueless on this one.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] grobillard:
I thought that was the case as well until many people on the XDA Forums said they just flashed Clockwork Recovery after getting the Official Gingerbread Update. You can flash Clockwork through NvFlash without rooting. Here is the forum that explains how to do so. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
[T-Mobile LG G2x] supersilko:
its the same thing as installing rom
[T-Mobile LG G2x] queman2010:
I would wait until the guys get all of the issues ironed out. They got it to work that was the hard part. So now it shouldn't be long for it to work nice and sweet! :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Suprah:
will the lg camera fix work on bigtimers 2.3.5 rom?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] grobillard:
Good points. I just flashed the LG Camera app and there are issues with the front facing camera, especially on video-recording.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xboarder56:
no its cm7 based
[T-Mobile LG G2x] flak0:
Alright guys in order to fix the LG Cam i need a logcat while u have the FFC open and are recording and using the zoom buttons. It could just be a case of two missing libs but the logcat will tell us where the error is
[T-Mobile LG G2x] queman2010:
Yeah I saw there were a few issues so I'm just going to wait. I want to cap off xboarder56 sweet rom (Thanks again man!!! phones better can it came out the box now) with the awesome LG Cam.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Schizoeffective:
Noob question how can I make a logcat while cam is on?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KingDavid63:
Heel yes, if we could just get it working perfect on stock would be awesome
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Schizoeffective:
Hopefully someone made a logcat for him. I hope he fixes it this can is perfect. Its like a real digital cam
[T-Mobile LG G2x] userno69:
n00b question... is there any way to get this camera as an apk or something rather than needing to flash it?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] grobillard:
How would I go about doing a logcat? I'm a noob in many respects.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Oguti1985@gmail.com:
How can I get this to work for miui?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Lakonikos:
I made my first attempt at ever doing a logcat to help this

First file is a logcat of me starting the FFC in the camera app and hitting record. starts out with the left half the screen green, and 3 videos of the FFC- the top one is frozen though.

http://www.mediafire.com/?dlvlfv6b2do1361

Second is the same with the 8mp camera and zooming with the volume rocker. y ou can see where it froze at the end of the log pretty easy. just freezes up after i hit the rocker once

http://www.mediafire.com/?ringjod0oy86m1p

about 5 min after the app froze the phone rebooted. i had stopped the logcat before that though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Schizoeffective:
I need to learn how to do that thanks man hopefully this will help flako stock camera sucks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Black6spdZ:
someone enlighten me, what does the LG camera do that the camera in CM7 does not? Does it unlock some hidden functions or what?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] oregondave:
it does 1080 dude.

and i'm a noob...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] oregondave:
it's easy. search for nvflash there are instructions. If you can't handle i'd say stick with what LG gives you.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] steve841:
And the interface is far better
[T-Mobile LG G2x] oregondave:
so will the dev on this be working on getting the framerate back up to mid 20's?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sincest:
i hope so , 1080p recording is pretty much useless cm7 camera recording superior until that gets sorted out if possible
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Schizoeffective:
The LG cam has multiple shot modes. Like smile detection. Burst mode. The interface is easier to use and looks nicer. The FCC option is just one click. There's option for no shutter noise or you can choose from 4. For some reason on the LG one pics come out better than stock. It also has stabilizing feature great auto focus and face detection

The camcorder has a lot of great features and the vids come out super sharp. I've even purchased other cam apps on the market supposedly the best ones but in my opinion they suck compared to the LG
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Schizoeffective:
LG was too scared and rushed to put it on this build it pisses me off. I didn't pay 400 bucks for a phone with a 8mp cam and1080 recording for it to suddenly do it it wackly.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] anbessa14:
quick question

i was using my g2x with the smartshare the other day and i noticed no video playback thanks to the fact that g2x records in an ancient format any idea if the app can be modified to record in mp4 I have not look into it but I figured it would be a usefull change to the camera
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
logcat http://www.mediafire.com/?ccccvkmg383aug5

i started logcat , fired up camera,switched to video, pressed record, then used volume buttons to zoom. app locked up, then closed with no force close message. took me back to homescreen. then let logcat run for a minute and unplugged phone. so hopefully this logcat cathes the errors devs need.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] flak0:
u did you just need to include more of it which shows the CAM force closing.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
Would it be possible for you to make the settings display in Portrait Mode on the Camera? It's annoying whenever you need to turn the phone to Landscape just to change the settings.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] flak0:
Can't make any promises but ill def try
[T-Mobile LG G2x] heyguys:
This is just an idea but when you get all the bugfixes out would it be possible to package as an apk name 'LG Camera' or 'Froyo Camera'. Then people could have both stock gingerbread and this one. or maybe eventually CM7's and this one?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] overground:
Thing is...it doesn't FC. Just freezes, creates an unplayable video in sdcard then eventually closes itself.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Schizoeffective:
It force closed on me after it froze and then my phone turned off.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KingDavid63:
yea got some bugs to work out... quality aint that good on video.. quik dont look to well either... i went back to stock camera till we get an update or two...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] flak0:
If quik doesn't look good then its the libs. Today i will dedicate 2 hours to the LG Cam. Question those who have video issues did u update ur baseband reason i ask i remember on the Nexus 1 where if u didn't have a certain radio video recording would not work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] flak0:
We can rename the apk however the shared objects "libs" are not compatible with each other unless the CM team renames them to libcameraCM.so etc and then recodes the cam app to look for that instead of libcamera.so
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Schizoeffective:
Well I don't if the cam interacts with tango app but it made the FCC upside down
[T-Mobile LG G2x] overground:
Thanks so much for your helpful input. :confused:

Once again, this discussion is for getting the LG camera working properly in 2.3...

Any user who spams with useless posts that do not assist in discovering a fix will be deleted and the user will be given a 1 day ban.

You have been warned.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Lakonikos:
My baseband is the latest one that came using the LG updater, and the camera freezes when zooming with the volume rocker while recording.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] flak0:
Hmm i wonder if someone has the original baseband. Oh and i just found out tmo.pulled the OTA due to bugs and they will release it again soon.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sincest:
they pulled an ota that was supposed to fix bugs because it had bugs? what the freak?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] overground:
Here's a logcat for ya. Got 1 Wait/FC (Wait selected) message before phone rebooted itself. On 7/15 baseband.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] flak0:
Thank u. I will inspect and let u know what i see.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Schizoeffective:
Flank do u need any more logcats? Do u need logcats of stock cam?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Jason_V:
Where did you hear that? That's great if it's true.... They'll be quickly working on a hotfix if so.

I was having video issues and I'm on the updated baseband. I haven't tried it since the first night it was posted up here though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] btappan:
Hi - I've noticed that when I take a picture in portrait, it forces it to a landscape photo when I pull it up in the gallery / try to MMS. Anyone else experience this?

Same steps on the stock camera preserve the portrait format from picture to gallery.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] doniqcc:
Can someone that's running ported lg camera to ota gb do me a favor?

Shoot a video with this setting 1280x720 and see what fps you getting doing some testing thanks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Schizoeffective:
How do u check that
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
27.624309 checked using VLC and shot a movie that was playing on my computer and then did a quick scan of my blinds... I have no clue if it made any difference or not, lol.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] flak0:
I am nandroiding my GB and I am going to update to your EB1.0.6 BG to play with the cam. I think I know the problem with recording
[T-Mobile LG G2x] doniqcc:
Thanks man I got to 1 point at 1920x1088 24 fps than i got greedy trying to get it to 30fps and something broke now can't even get 24fps anymore trying to remember what I did step by step lol.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] flak0:
Don can you tell me where you made edits maybe I can help.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] doniqcc:
well quick question in froyo version 1920x1088 what fps did we have ?

can't remember
[T-Mobile LG G2x] flak0:
not 30fps, the only we did that was with the hack. I think 24fps was for 1080p and 30 for 720p

edit:btw the boot animation on EB1.0.6 is awesome
[T-Mobile LG G2x] doniqcc:
Try getting media profile xml from froyo push it to GB and then in built props change vm heap size from 54 to 40 and then in froyo built,prop copy all the ro.media lines and push them to GB built.props see what fps numbers you getting with these setting cause i think vm heap size i don't think vm heap size it's not supposed to be anything above 40 and in the OTA GB it's set at 54 run a logcat after you get some new fps numbers
[T-Mobile LG G2x] flak0:
ok also I pushed libnvomx.so from Froyo to GB and in the FFC its right side up but squished. It seems jumaaface may have gotten his hands on a verision of the LG Cam that was intended for GB , possibly a leak. Im going to try some other things too.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] doniqcc:
go to a lower res and see if that fix it
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aiinjylls:
So this works on with the new baseband and the volume zoom is the only bug?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jumaaneface:
do either of you have gtalk?

Im working on fixing the FFC and the zoom bug.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] flak0:
SO i just tried with the original LG Cam from Froyo and it FC. Seems like it is true that the LG Cam we have has been modified, the libamce.so is even a different size. This possibly did not come from Froyo?

Confirmed this did not come from Froyo.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bakedpatato:
Did you try dissembling the new libmce.so and diffing it for s***ts and giggles? Indeed jumaaneface seems to have got a hold of something very cool....

Also someone should set up a github so the public can be in on the action;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] doniqcc:
I got zoom in working too :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] flak0:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] richteralan:
Don't know if anyone experienced, the camera app draining a lot of battery....

I'll do some more test later..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] flak0:
Cool then ill edit the res in the apk with the icons.

FFC force close on video and it's smushed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sincest:
all cameras are going to drain your battery, its the hardware draining it not the actual app.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] doniqcc:
i don't get fc try the one i just sent you over just now
[T-Mobile LG G2x] richteralan:
I'm well aware of that.

What I meant is in the Battery Use page along with other system components. It WASN'T the case before I flashed 1.0.0.1.

Certainly not the case with stock GB camera app.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Schizoeffective:
On mine the stock Gm cam is on that list too
[T-Mobile LG G2x] btappan:
Hi flak0-

Wondering if your next version of the LG Cam will resolve the issue of taking a picture in portrait...but it saving in landscape. There was another user on this thread who confirmed the same thing happened to them - however, I'm not sure how wide-spread it is.

btappan
[T-Mobile LG G2x] adevilfish:
Yeah it was the case actually with 2.3.3. As matter of fact there were tons of posts on this
[T-Mobile LG G2x] blestsol:

Big Ups for not giving up too.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] flak0:
The FFC right?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] flak0:
I think it might be, just some more tweaking needs to be done.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Schizoeffective:
Yaaay I'm so excited u guys rock!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] btappan:
It's actually the rear-facing / 8MP camera - basic still shots. I just re-flashed your .zip to test again; here's the scenario:

I started taking regular ol' pictures holding the phone in portrait - and going over to the gallery after taking a few pictures to view them. The first few pictures showed up in portrait mode in the gallery - but as I continued taking more pictures, some, and then most, ended up being flipped 90-degrees to landscape when I went to look at them in the gallery.

Hope this helps.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Xargon321:
flak0 you might have to pull the libs from the optimus 2x to get the 30fpd in 1080p to work thats what we had to do to get it to work with the g2x when we did it to the reg cm7 camera. might work here was well
[T-Mobile LG G2x] flak0:
Which libs specifically? It seems don fixed it though
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Schizoeffective:
How are things loooking

cm7 camera incase cm7 guys flashed this

it will refix your camera if you tried to flash flako's lg camera mod on cm7

it restores it back to stock cm7 one
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SyntekSystems:
You guys are doing an awesome job. One thing that I'm reporting bug wise is that the camera (photo and video mode) gets really choppy and over exposed if changing the resolution (switching from 1080p to 720p or vice versa) the only fixable solution is to switch the camera mode and then switch it back (if video is choppy switch to photo mode then video mode back/ if photo is choppy, switch to video mode then back to photo mode).

Again great work guys and I hope this bug gets squashed with the front facing camera problems.

I am running stock gingerbread rooted.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Schizoeffective:
I don't know if u guys know but on 1.2

I got a force close while zooming during video recording rear cam and then reboot

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Schizoeffective:
Oh oops I thought I was being helpful. :(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] richteralan:
Well after I removed the battery calibration app, the camera stopped showing up in battery usage.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Schizoeffective:
Hmmm I don't have a batt calibration app and it still shows up and stays there even if I force close it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] btappan:
Does someone else mind testing this? I'm getting the same result with the 1.2 zip. Maybe it is just me.

Using the LG Cam, take 3 or 4 pictures in portrait (phone is vertical).

Go over to your gallery app to make sure the pictures saved in portrait mode

Go back to LG Cam, take another 8 or 10 pictures in portrait (phone is vertical)

Go back over your gallery to see if they still saved in portrait mode

Seems that after I reboot my phone or flash the LG Cam zip, the first few pictures I take will save properly in portrait mode ... but after that, if I take a picture in portrait mode it saves it to the gallery rotated 90-degrees.

btappan
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sincest:
still recording 15fps on 1080 mode with new cam here
[T-Mobile LG G2x] richteralan:
Spoke too soon.

After reboot, if I don't use the camera, then the app doesn't show up in battery usage.

If I opened the camera and exit the app, then it seems the app doesn't close completely and draining battery in the background.

Anyways in response to the above i tried using the libnvmm_camera.so from the O2x, g2x Froyo, and OTA G2x GB and all gave the same result. Doniqq figured it out its in the media_profiles.xml and build.prop. more edits need to be done

Thank you everyone for all ur support without u there would be no motivation.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Xargon321:

Wow your modified version of lg camera dude u funny that's my built props when u fix search button it breaks swipe which I already found a fix for that in built props but for u to change my built props so swipe works and not search button and call it modified version it's funny dude u need to give ppl credit that's ur problem .

Flako don't change that ill send over new built props later today so search and swipe works.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xboarder56:
they both work for me with the moddified version of the build.prop i made
[T-Mobile LG G2x] doniqcc:

@doniqcc,flako....

have you noticed artifacts when in 1280x720?

i was outside in the bright sunshine today filming my son in the yard,so it was not an issue of lighting. played it back on my hd bigscreen, saw major artifacts. i didn't realize it until later, so i couldn't get a recording outside in bright sunshine at full hd. but it didn't look as bad from the little sample i did do. i'm not one to use video all the time. did anyone mention this? or was it always an issue at 1280x720? thanks for all your effort getting this camera ported.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pecata:
I've noticed that the new Gingerbread OTA biuld has the new Gtalk with video. Tried using it with the LG camera app and it force closes every time when I try to make a video call.

Is there a way to fix it? Should I use a diff built?

Just Tried the T-Mobile Video Chat by Qik and it force closes on me as well....

I have tried all the builds for the LG Camera App and the official Gingerbread Cam and still ot able to use video chat...
