It's explained in the OP, a few posts above yours, and probably elsewhere as well. People wanted the option of a low-light Normal mode without the noise reduction. If you want it back in that situation, just use night mode or switch to IA.
[G2 Android Development] MrDarkKV:
Hey man, fantastic work on the new release. Really like the fact we have so much more control over night photos!

One question though, would it be feasible to add a long exposure mode? Or would that be a software limitation on LG's end...
[G2 Android Development] Dustin7892:
Whoops, sorry. Didn't mean to be repetitive. Thanks though.

If you're looking for that, a good alternative (until if/when its possible to be added) is camera FV-5.

[G2 Android Development] MrDarkKV:
That's what I currently use... It's okay.. Really would like to see it added to XCam though. :good:
[G2 Android Development] Dustin7892:
Yeah...definitely not the greatest. Decent at SOME points, but like lightning and stuff? Nope. Maybe he'd be able to tear it apart a bit, take out how they made the long exposure and just revamp it and add it. HOPEFULLY, anyways.

Sent from my LG-LS980
[G2 Android Development] Hid3rs:
Unfortunately, that's not the case. Camera FV-5 doesn't really take long exposure shots, instead it takes multiple photos and just merges them together. So the app is kind of misleading.

It's a limitation on Android's end actually. Hopefully we will have more control over the camera in the L release.

----

Oh, and thanks for the update, xdabbeb! The app works great so far! :)
[G2 Android Development] xdabbeb:
Unfortunately there's no way to do that given the current google apis and camera drivers. The other app you mentioned isn't doing a true long-exposure. It's just taking the liveshot feed (basically the preview), which is always at a very low resolution (usually less than 2MP) and doesn't allow for the best post-proc.

EDIT: [MENTION=5632451]Hid3rs[/MENTION] JINX!
[G2 Android Development] Manbot27:
I'm getting a force close using beauty mode and the front facing camera. Let me know if you need logs for it.
[G2 Android Development] xdabbeb:
I take it you're using a G3-Port, right? Someone else just told me about it as well. It's just b/c the G3 rom is missing libraries. I'll upload a new version of the G3 binaries/driver package that includes them in a few minutes.

EDIT: Done

EDIT2: The G3 Roms also use a different version of libkwr_mvoice-jni_4.so that doesn't play nice with the voice-activated shutter in this camera. I've attached a version that seems to work with both this and the stock G3 cam, but I didn't want to include it in the main package in case it causes problems elsewhere. If anyone actually uses this feature (and is on a G3 port), try it out. Just replace the one in /system/lib/ with this one.
[G2 Android Development] Manbot27:
Indeed I am, thanks for the fix I'll reinstall.
[G2 Android Development] lemach:
You are right, thanks for the tip. Now the virtual flash it is working so good.
[G2 Android Development] Dustin7892:
Yeah, that's what I dislike about it. Like if you try doing a writing-in-air long exposure shot, it's annoying. Plus the ultra small resolution. As stated above I hope L brings in some new light.

BY THE WAY. messed around with the IA mode and can tell there's pretty great improvement from your previous builds. Clarity is pretty nice. Great work, dude!

Updated binaries (G2) and installed apk. App is going nuts along with stock mod cam. White balance goes crazy randomly along with ISO. Things get very dark or bright and grainy at times. Also hangs as well. A reboot fixes it. After taking a few pictures the issue randomly comes back. I have noticed it doesn't happen with flash and is more prevalent when the "chromaflash?" kicks in. I've also noticed the area around the camera getting darn hot. Logcat coming.
[G2 Android Development] xdabbeb:
You saying this happens with the stock camera or the v5 mod? Not clear from your msg. Haven't seen and can't reproduce this regardless. Will need more details.
[G2 Android Development] Steamer86:
Both after updating binaries. Have re-downloaded and reflashed / wiped multiple times. I'm at a loss. I guess a restore is eminent.
[G2 Android Development] xdabbeb:
Could certainly be something not playing nice with your particular hw or rom. Like I said, would need a lot more details though.
[G2 Android Development] Steamer86:
Verizon VS980, your ROM. V1.2.1, xposed w/ G2 tweakbox only. Attached log to other post.

Disabling xposed helped nothing.

Restoring back to 3.2 had also not helped.
[G2 Android Development] soapinmouth:
Does this work on aosop roms?
[G2 Android Development] xdabbeb:
Well, that's obviously the same thing I'm using. My guess would be a weird hw revision or a possible hw failure? Using my kernel as well?
[G2 Android Development] AndroidInsanity:
Strong dev support for this phone is making me miss it even more!

By the way, does this MOD make the camera AS GOOD as the G3?

Thanks

T-mobile US D801, latest KitKat stock.

amazing work xdabbeb, thanks again!
[G2 Android Development] xdabbeb:
In the short time I had a G3 in my hands I didn't notice any improvement in quality, but it was brief. If it is, in fact, using the same sensor (and likely the same optics) that would make sense. A family member got one so I'll be able to do some actual testing at some point.
[G2 Android Development] jaymazz13:
Im using ur latest rom also and i was having the same issue after updating binaries and installing the new xcam

[G2 Android Development] Lycanlk:
Hi xdabbeb,

The new update is quite impressive. Picture quality is better specially under low light. But 120fps video recording is still the same as it's color tone fluctuate like in every millisecond (cool to hot and hot to cool) which is noticeable. I have attached an edited video clip just to show how it varies. (This is not to show the quality of the video but the color tone since it is edited) I had to edit since the original clip is too heavy. Hope you understand what I'm trying to say.

And thank you for your good work on G2. :good:

Edit: sorry - missing attachment
[G2 Android Development] 0355:
So, even if this mod is in apk form now it is mandatory to have a custom recovery to install the driver package?

I ask because in the old days there was an unofficial way to install it as apk only. Can OP please confirm that now there is no way to install v5 and above without a custom recovery in stock lg g2 rom?

Many thanks.

Is there anything that can be done to improve video quality in low light? There is no option for Night Mode (not even in Photo mode, but I assume that's being taken care of by the Auto mode) in neither the G2 camera nor the G3 one :eek:

Loving the new camera so balanced it's insane shots look sharper and a hell of a lot better. Had same issue with beauty shot on cloudy g3 1.2 will there be a new flashable zip for the g3 ports?

Otherwise all seems to be working perfectly will update or grab logs any issues.

Hi there thanks for this amazing work I just found few bugs , after installing binaries stuff I installed apk wiped Dalvik cache , now when I take picture it won't save the screen will just blink as if photo is taken but there's no photo in gallery , the problem can be fixed by setting storage to internal storage , before it was set to SD card , I hope dev fix this and the second bug is that when i turn to video mode and I click start button so it won't start recording video I keep taping it again but nothing happens , I hope dev fix those bugs , I'm using lg g2 f320k and Optimus g3 1.2 rom , thanks p.s I have no tweak box installed

[G2 Android Development] WebDev28:

[G2 Android Development] kryogenik:
I'm so lost..

I installed the version before V5 (3.2?) without a custom recovery as it was just an APK (I don't have a custom recovery)

Would anyone be kind enough to tell me if I can just install this over it via APK?

There is talk of flashing binaries to gain all the improvements & fixes but this requires a custom recovery which I don't have - I installed CWM on my stock KK G2 but I've read since that it doesn't work? It certainly couldn't create a backup.

So confused - someone help an old guy out?

:edit: I've installed it alongside anyway.

Do I need to install binaries?

Hey, just thought of a different addition you might wanna look into if you ever have the time. Ever think of making it so we can save the pictures as a raw image? They're massive, yeah, but some people do enjoy the non-processed quality. Especially for editing. Might be a nice little feature, no?

I encountered an over heating issue. I'm on cloudy G3. I installed the app, then the g3 ROM binaries and as soon as I launched the app, the top of my device started getting really hot. I rebooted and wiped dalvik and cache, but this time the phone just stays hot even when the app was not even launched. Tried uninstalling the app...still getting hot. Must be the binaries. Thank god for Nandroid backup. Hopefully an update will sort this out. Really looking forward to testing out this mod.
[G2 Android Development] MrDarkKV:
That's because Xdabbeb's camera has auto night mode disabled in normal mode. Something which has been enabled by LG and thus is enabled on the G3 camera app as well.

Take multiple pictures, it keeps working fine and you exit the app when you're done.

In gallery, the pictures taken are beautiful.

See? It's easy to be assertive, it doesn't make the assessment any more useful.

If you want to report an issue, at least explain your setup.

[G2 Android Development] screenager:
again... normal and ia mode now have a highter shutter limit -> darker pictures.

for low light situations use night mode or adapt brightness slider and iso in normal mode to find the balance between good lighting and noise. but since night mode has the longest shutter time, i always use it in avaible light situtations. if the light is so poor you only get noise, use a dslr. remember this is a smartphone camera, people seem to forget that...

How to verify if I flashed this correctly?
[G2 Android Development] Ramsey:
To install the binaries you need to flash the zip file using your recovery.

A nandroid backup or simply a backup can be done also from the recovery.

Then you can install the apk normally from your phone the same way you install other apk apps.

I installed this on my D803 and it works great.

Quality was the same until I installed the binaries, then the quality changed majorly. Finally no more noise reduction. Shots are way better in low light and are better in day light. But in really low light or night shots there is way too much noise, I'm talking about near dark situations with a bit of light. In fact the normal camera does better in that situation. But it's ok, if I use flash or night mode then it's all good.

I like Magic Focus but I wish we could make use of it more than once even after saving.

Please note that using the flash makes a blue tint that is not natural and ruins the colors. Is that normal? My previous S4 had a much better flash and reproduced great colors.
[G2 Android Development] GTRanushka:
