Thanks man i will try it now.Sorry by the time i saw your msg i was already sleeping..By the way this phone is kinda weird..Night mode for me produces the worst night pictures in terms of quality,while the best i was able to take them with intelligent auto (even tho sometimes a bit blurry)

Ok i renamed the apk and force the done.apk (after i renamed it ) in,but now i cannot find the camera app its dissapeared,i think it might have to do with the framework also that is tied to the given rom.In case you need my framework to try let me know i will upload it.
[G2 General] somemadcaaant:
The apk is different for most variants from what I can tell, dif versions and sdk versions.

Also different res files, some png files are used from the framework and not in other versions which is interesting.

Looks like you're missing meta data and certs from the apk and that's why you can't see it in the app draw.
[G2 General] kenny17430:
Hey, can you tell us which mode are you using cause there are 2 Mods available for the camera in the development section.
[G2 General] somemadcaaant:
Tested i'm not seeing much difference in night modes with stock cam unfortunately. I don't see how this would work if it's not referenced in the libs first. (edit actually I found the reference in camera.msm8974.so which is set on default under qcameraparamater).

Don't know what some ppl are complaining about as the shots at night are steller even tho over processed, i prefer that to being dirty noisy.

[G2 General] woof123:
The over processed are sadly not only at night,even in my room daylight i can see that it over processing the pics also..I got similar pics before with my s3 and comparing,the G2 detail is lower.I could see the fabric details on the sheets on my bed,almost perfect with the s3,while with G2 isnt the case...I will try to recreate similar pics with what i got already to test further.Btw how did you manage to run it?I cannot see mine on the app draw...

Also sadly the guys that are trying to help with the camera,they dont have the phone yet,i bet its quite difficult for them to do it,without even having the phone to try them out.Very commendable tho :)
[G2 General] somemadcaaant:
I just added the missing files. Follow defcomg post for instructions.

[G2 General] penfold:
why don't you try snap camera ...best camera app i've tried, although not tried it on the G2
[G2 General] woof123:
Ok i will check later at night to see if i see anything different.

v2.5.2

OIS still works on the Malladus ROM as far as I can tell.
[G2 General] woof123:
Did some testing with night pics (not night mode tho cause its ugly...) with intelligent auto.I think night pics are ok,we dont need to change that.What we need to try and change is the day pics...If the denoise filter is on for day pics might be nice to try it off and see how it goes.Or even bettee (if its even possible that is) to reduce teh filter strength,so they will be processed less.

Oh darn you right i forgot i disabled signing in VTS haven't used it since June thanks

Tested i'm not seeing much difference in night modes with stock cam unfortunately. I don't see how this would work if it's not referenced in the libs first.

Try this version see if you notice changes it may FC not tested but if it does logcat it.

Injected smali into focus selection and all shot modes in other words it should execute the code when either of those are used selected

Disabled: MCE,Lenshade,Denoise

Forced: 100% Jpeg Quality 0%compression, Normal Power

add this to build prop it should use 4:2:2 instead of 4:2:0 ss

Lol btw hows CameraFV on the G2 ? its the best Camera i've tried on Multiple devices.
[G2 General] cruzargel:
Intelli auto. Stock rom and camera app. Makes me want to throw this phone to the pool. SMH

This pic seem out of focus,did you focus manualy?It will help alot sometimes.
[G2 General] cruzargel:
[MENTION=317424]woof[/MENTION]

it auto focused on the people.. also on low light, focusing and capturing takes too damn long. I miss the night mode on my Note 2

from good

to bad
[G2 General] woof123:
Check your pm,also sometimes its better to do the focus in difficult conditions,it will help more.

And another thing for the devs,please make the camera silent,i know that some variants have the option to do so.But others dont,and with this stupid camera making noise everytime you want to take a picture,makes me feel uncomfortable..
[G2 General] gm007:
Do you have any idea about photography? Even a DSLR wont capture better in this light situation :p

Use the flash when i there is no enough light.
[G2 General] woof123:
Both are from G2?One day as it seems and the other night.Also try what i told you on PM might work nice for you.

Edit: Oh the post is removed so its like im talking by myself here lol
[G2 General] somemadcaaant:
Some work done there, yeah i'm not seeing much difference either but i can only test at night till the weekend.

I prefer a stock camera, i like everything integrated.

Can't test that CameraFV in free mode as it's stuck at 640x480 image res lol, hows the images for you?

If you keep adding to the mod you should make your own thread in Themes and Apps section, you pretty much did everything i could think of for the apk and then some.
[G2 General] kcharng:
I start to understand this camera more and more. With OIS, this camera will always try to take advantage of lower FPS. If you can keep your subject still and in focus, the result is excellent (mobile phone standard of course).

-LG G2
[G2 General] nic85:
I think you're right
[G2 General] aznmode:
The phone camera excels in one thing then fails miserably with another. The point of OIS is so you don't have to be completely still and having to wait to focus and most likely multiple retakes is a PITA
[G2 General] illyfilly:
Used the beauty shot the other night indoors and got one of the best pictures ever. Try that.
[G2 General] babymatteo:
WTH? The camera on the G2 is actually quite horrible. I was thinking of picking it up when it comes available to Sprint. Not trying to troll here, but I think my HTC One has the better camera. Which is the single most important feature if you're a parent ;p
[G2 General] Jishnu Sur™:
Hey man.. nice to see you here! Well, its good if you dont have a shaky hand lol,,
[G2 General] jntdroid:
Boy that's the truth. If the One had a few more megapixels I'd love it to death... I think the S4's camera beats the G2's still as well. The G2 acts like a Motorola camera with regard to software and how it handles autofocus, exposure, etc. - slow, kinda buggy at times... but takes better pictures in general, likely thanks to better optics and sensors than what Moto is using.
[G2 General] babymatteo:
Yah that's also my only gripe with my One is pixel count. But the "UltraPixels" and f2.0 lens does help a lot with low light. And outdoors settings, took much colorful and vivid pics compared to my sister's S4. I hope that G2's camera is only a software bug...and nothing that an OTA wouldn't fix. Cos i'm really considering it...
[G2 General] jntdroid:
I actually just exchanged my G2 back for a One, for whatever it's worth. For 80% of my pictures the One's megapixels make no difference, and it's so much faster (the camera), and as you said it's not like it does bad with outdoor pictures, you just can't zoom or crop them much. I also find the color calibration so much easier on the eyes and the screen in general nicer looking than the G2's. If an LCD can look over-saturated, IMO the G2 does. I'm pretty nit-picky, though... :) As far as performance goes, the One is as smooth/snappy as the G2, which still stuttered every now and then with that heavy UI. But the biggest actual problem I had with my G2 was voice calls - incredibly "poppy" and "crackly", unlike any recent Verizon phone I've had. Only shortcoming of the One vs. the G2 is battery life, IMHO.
[G2 General] vegetaleb:
Did you try the Modded G2 camera app?

It should make it as fast as the One no?
[G2 General] jntdroid:
No I didn't - I was tempted to, but didn't. If I wasn't having the crackling problem, I might've held onto it a bit longer and given that a shot. But honestly, I don't mind doing some basic modding and such, but I don't like having to apply deeper mods like that just to get something to function closer to how it should've functioned out of the box. Maybe that's snobby of me, but it's just where I'm at right now... :) I'm also a bit worried that the hardware is a small part of the problem (a la the Moto X - improved, but still has some inherent issues).
[G2 General] gm007:
People that says htc one camera is better than G2, they don't have this phone and they don't have any idea about photography.

All the reviewer said when comparing cameras that htc one has the worst camera between them all.
[G2 General] jntdroid:
All the reviewers are raving about the G2's camera as well, but you'll still see people with issues that are legit - especially with regard to over-exposure and auto-focus. I've had both, and used both pretty extensively. Sure, side by side, on a tripod taking a shot outside in bright light, the G2 will outperform every time. In certain other scenarios it will do good as well, though I wouldn't say it destroys the One. But for day to day usage of the average user, who likes to pop their phone out for a quick shot of their kids or friends or something happening, I feel the One has a much faster and more consistent experience overall. If you leave touch-to-capture enabled, it's even faster and more consistent.

I'm not saying the G2 is bad by any means, but it definitely has a lot of room for improvement. Let's put it this way - if I was going on a trip to Colorado, or somewhere where I know I'd want to take a lot of scenic shots, I'd take my S4 or G2 (and likely the S4 given the superior panoramic ability). But for most of my day to day usage, the HTC One is the easiest to work with. I'd say the Moto X is the absolute easiest, but it's slower and still doesn't have the best image quality, even post update.
[G2 General] gm007:
I have 1 year old daughter and i took lot of nice photo with this phone even indoor.

The camera is fast,the focus in low light is little slow but once achieved you can take several shot continuously.

You can use time catch mode so you don't miss any moment.
[G2 General] babymatteo:
You're kidding right? HTC One blows the S4 in any given condition...especially indoors. If you're a photographer, you know exactly what difference an aperture of f2.0(HTC One) vs f2.2(S4 & G2) can have on a shot.
[G2 General] gm007:
As a photographer yes i know what is difference and its very minimal between 2 and 2.2,we are not talking about 2 and 1 i mean 1 stop difference ;)

The problem between them is the sensor and the software not the lens ;)

So htc one's camera wont blow anything.

The noise reduction on G2 is little and i mean it,little aggressive but still you can have good pics in low light.
[G2 General] woof123:
If im not mistaken isnt an apeture of F2.0 brighter but with less detail overal?Good i guess for low light ones and close shots but i dont think its that great for daylights...or shots with a wider field of view.Also G2 has f2.4 not f2.2 from what i remember..This will give alot more detail in daylight pics and with Ois will still be able to make descent night shots also.
[G2 General] babymatteo:
Lol. :laugh:

For what its worth...i'll just have to compare the 2 phones side by side. I really like the G2, both hardware and software. But the camera will be my main focus. Oh and, Tri-Band LTE
[G2 General] jntdroid:
I wouldn't say the One blows the S4 in any competition. Outdoors in good light, I'd venture to say the S4 is one of the best out there. Indoors when you need a flash, the S4 definitely wins. And indoors in low light shots without a flash, the S4 typically automatically kicks into night mode and does a really good job of taking low-light shots. I'm not saying the One isn't better, but they both have their positives and negatives, and I wouldn't throw out a claim quite as bold as yours! :p
[G2 General] babymatteo:
only speaking from experience. Had an S4 before the One...
[G2 General] jntdroid:
I definitely like using the One's camera the most... and I especially like the "event" videos it can create. Though that doesn't really have anything to do with image quality, just a cool software addition...
[G2 General] vegetaleb:
It's as useful as air command of S4 meaning useless after 2 days of gimmick show
[G2 General] woof123:
I've compared my cousins S4 with G2 there is a big difference in night shots.I never use night mod on G2 tho,i find that it sucks..inteli auto is the best so far.But the phone is new there is room for improvements.
[G2 General] jntdroid:
lol... I guess so, but I kinda like them - a nice quick way to share some pics of the kiddos with grandparents, etc... :)
[G2 General] irish.iolar:
Taking pictures indoors, low light or not, this cameras amazing, the low light video on the other hand could use some major improvements.
[G2 General] Junetastic:
This is so strange because I read so many G2 reviews claiming that it was just as good, if not slightly better, than the S4 in low light.

http://asia.cnet.com/smartphone-cam...-galaxy-note-3-vs-sony-xperia-z1-62222509.htm

http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/C...-vs-Samsung-Galaxy-S4-iPhone-5-HTC-One_id3405

But there are so many conflicting reviews.
[G2 General] kcharng:
Reviews takes photo of still objects. G2 camera do quite well because of Ois allows lower shutter speed. hence lower iso, less noise and better light capture from longer exposure.

From what I see the problem people are having is with moving objects and slow to focus. But considering that this is a phone camera phone with pin size lens, it does quite well.

Manual focus helps quite a bit in some situation. I found myself using manual focus more and more when taking night shot. You guys should try it.

[G2 General] EVOme:
LMAO!!!!! That's the BS I am dealing with. Camera is trash!
[G2 General] Hellscythe:
"Makes it so hard to take pics of kids."
[G2 General] noobsquared:
I have the exact same issue. I posted in other threads as well that moving objects are so blur and over-processed. I think HTC one did much better but I may be wrong. Never liked the S4 camera since I was spoiled by HTC one's wide angle lens.
[G2 General] jntdroid:
+1... Though, I loved the S4's camera. I want a hybrid S4/One camera combo. The quality of the S4's shots with the speed and "extras" (like the wider angle) of the One's.

What, I can't have my cake and eat it too? :p
[G2 General] SysAdmNj:
Here's a thought, buy a camera?
[G2 General] jntdroid:
I hate that response... lol :p

We have a DSLR - but guess what, it's not very pocketable, or with us all the time. "Hey 5 year old, 4 year old, 2 year old - hold that thought while we run and grab the DSLR, then if you could repeat that cute/funny thing you just did..."

The best camera is the one you have on you, and since we have some great options on phones nowadays, it's a legitimate point IMHO. If it was 5 years ago when phone cameras were assumed to suck, then it wouldn't be a legitimate point.
[G2 General] instigator008:
That's such a cop out answer. This is a $600 phone with a camera as a main feature. That feature is lacking in some ways and needs a fix.
[G2 General] Fille84:
The camera on g2 is totaly ok. The htc one camera can take pictures really quick but the output is terrible.

[G2 General] SysAdmNj:
Not directed at you :)

If that was your main interest for buying this device, I would say you have had suffice time to test it out and returning? :)
[G2 General] noobsquared:
I could not have said it any better.

It just saddens me that people don't give LG enough credit or respect.

I had LG OG Pro before HTC One and I loved it. LG makes amazing phones and the only thing they needed was some marketing and IMHO, they are doing a good job.

It would be nice to have this camera perform like HTC One with a little bit more detail. This phone is awesome in every other aspect, just wish camera was better so I don't have to use wife's iPhone 5. In a family where everyone has iPhone, I used to be proud of taking great pictures at night and rubbing in their faces but now, I take them and delete them before anyone sees them :cowboy:

[G2 General] joeynox:
the g2 camera is really effed up. Unless the photo is being taken in optimal conditions the pictures are pure noisy, blotchy crap. I was in my kitchen for a bday party last night and held up my g2 and lumia 920 side by side to take pics and the g2 only lets in half the light the 920 does. both were set to 200 ios flash off. the g2 also produces images so noisy the yare unusable. It has some iserious issues with skin colors . Ive take a lot of photos where everything is sharp and the subjects skin is blotchy or noisy. On the other hand in pure sunlight the phones camera is a beast.

the view finder is slow ,laggy,ghosty, and focuses really poorly

lg g2 no flash iso not sure. but it sucks

nokia lumia 920 no flash iso 400

they were taken back to back by the same wall . I don't know the ISO on the LG because its not listed. I think it was on intelligent auto. There was no light source other than the purplish wall lights , over head rotating multicolored strobe ball thing ceiling lights

lol can't you see the hard shadows on the wall behind her head? The shadows on her breast? :p
[G2 General] joeynox:
dude I get what you are saying but the only lights in the room were what I said . The Nokia Lumia 920 on nightmode with the flash off was taking awesome images that night which is why I took 300 pix during the day with the g2 and around 50 in the room/night with the 920. I have plendy of other pics that show how good the 920's photos came out in the room using no flash on nightmode or auto with a higer ISO while under the rooms lighting. the g2 couldn't focus at all especially when the bride and groom were dancing under the huge ceiling light. My bros HTC one also had trouble focusing but did take much better low light pictures than the g2 that were not compressed or as noisy .
[G2 General] EVOme:
They aren't so bad outside....I took these with G2
[G2 General] aznmode:
Yup the issue was never outdoor daylight shots. It's indoors thats the issue. Hence the title of this thread.
[G2 General] EVOme:
I created the thread....thanks!
[G2 General] aznmode:
Haha. So are you keeping the phone? I'm boxing it up today to return it. I need a good indoor camera so might stick with the note 3 or just go back to my s4.
[G2 General] woof123:
Dont use intelligent auto then,that mode is not good for low light.It process the pictures alot.Use normal mode instead the pictures might be a bit more grainy but they wont look like that.The software meeds fine tuning from LG and hopefully they will make that possible later.
[G2 General] EVOme:
I got this on launch day... Too late to return.. I gave my S4 to GF over her S3...she loves it. The S4 was a laggy piece of junk for its specs. I got the Note 3 the other day and it's too big. I returned it. Soooo, sticking with this G2. Love everything about it other than the camera.

[G2 General] woof123:
Very weird,when i tried my G2 over my cousins S4 in night mode,my g2 was better...I will check it again when i got the chance.Always with no flash,s4 has a brighter flash or the timing is not that good on G2.I hope it will be improoved tho with a new firm update for the camera.
[G2 General] EVOme:
Here's a closeup indoors with the S4 and my dinner
[G2 General] EVOme:
There's nothing the G2 camera does better than the S4. The G2 tries to focus too much. Slightest movement takes it out of focus. What shows on the screen isn't what you get when you look.
[G2 General] aznmode:
I have the T-Mobile version rooted with bioshock with 2.0 kernel and it's pretty smooth. Not as laggy as stock for sure.
[G2 General] woof123:
Try to take a low light pic in a dark room with light only from Tv with S4.And see the outcome :) (not saying that you are wrong about the focus,G2 camera software definately needs fine tuning)

Here is the outcome of G2,try the same with S4.
[G2 General] SupaSwag:
Low light pics are a lot better on the G2 than the S4. The low light quality won't wow anyone but there is an improvement.
[G2 General] aznmode:
Now try it with flash and see what happens.
[G2 General] woof123:
Why do i need a flash,when my picture is perfectly visible?The S4 might need it tho...

But since you asked.I needed to force the flash in order to take the pic,it didnt turn on in auto.

All that G2 needs is some fine camera tuning from LG.
[G2 General] aznmode:
Fair enough with up close shots. But when your subject is 5+ feet away and you need flash the images are dim compared to my s4 or my note 3.
[G2 General] woof123:
Yeah i saw that,not sure if the led is weaker or no,but it might also be the timing...I took some pics with flash that were extremely over exposured.I think its the camera soft that needs tuning.
[G2 General] aznmode:
I think the image is taken slightly after the flash turns on cause when I compare flash using a flash light app it's pretty close to the s4. I'm sure a software update would fix it but I don't have much time to wait.
[G2 General] HelloDominick:
Yeah the camera isn't great indoor with low light but if I'm in the kitchen in daylight and having my lights turned on then it'll look amazing

what are you people on about. i take a lot of photos every day, it is the best one out there compared to S4, Iphone 5s and XPeria Z

yes the gallery app has limited functionalities but u cal always use quickpic
[G2 General] hurja:
it takes too long to focus the image. and re-focus the second time if using flash.

sometimes i see the focused image 2 times on the viewfinder before the camera finds it.

i have learned that if there are green boxes in the viewfinder just short tap to take image. long press causes it to refocus.

using some modded camera version from the dev forum.
