No, you will need XCam LG 5.1.0 or higher.

I'm guessing you have a 100% stock device, in which case you don't actually have the 4kuhd profile necessary for this to work. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, as I will remove that menu option for the base G2 XCam LG download. If you want that, you will need to have root access and will need to replace /system/etc/media_profiles.xml with the one that is included in my Advanced Driver Package. There's no need to install the whole thing...only that file is needed. If you aren't comfortable doing this, I will make a flashable zip for just that when I get a moment.

The hardware is technically capable, but the driver currently isn't.

Thanks. Will fix this for next version.

I removed it from showing every time after someone complained :) Oh well.

The saturation won't be added back b/c LG removed the capability from the drivers after the G2...I actually beat my head up against a wall trying to put that functionality back in, but it wasn't happening. It seems that with the GPro2 and after (including the actual G3) they stopped supporting it. The framework accepts it just fine and passes it along, but the driver ignores the change in saturation.

Yep, it will work just fine, but if you donated and have the app, I recommend playing around in there and seeing what you can do with it. There are instructions in the 2nd post as well. If you don't like the changes, I included a "reset defaults" option for every panel.

You'll need the updated XCam LG...I had to rewrite quite a bit in there as well.

Unfortunately, 1/30 is the fastest we can go currently. With L we will have more control.

Thanks, dude. If you haven't already tried, set auto night to off, quality to 100, shoot in normal mode, and apply noise reduction in post. There is still wavelet NR going on, but this seems a little better. You can also experiment with persist.denoise.process.plates=1 which will limit wavelet nr to chroma channel, but there may be other side effects in the driver.

I'm going to be away on vacation for a couple of weeks, but when I return I'm going to look into other options.

I have the latest version of ur rom and the latest xcam 5.1 but do i need to download the advanced driver and binaries? I downloaded just xcam 5.1 apk and purchased the settings app
[G2 Android Development] xdabbeb:
No, those haven't been updated.
[G2 Android Development] jaymazz13:
Ok thanks, i will keep the setup i have now until i see a new release of ur rom assuming xcam 5.1 will be built into that
[G2 Android Development] P_Toti:
No problem i will add xcam to volume launching options, but there are chances you will come back before i release the 2.6 beta of G2 TWB.
[G2 Android Development] xdabbeb:
Sounds good. The package name should be stable now so you shouldn't have to change it in the future.

Hi guys,

Could you please tell me what do the values shutter min 1/15 etc.means????

What happens if i change the ratios under the shutter control menu?

Thank you very muchh...
[G2 Android Development] abdel12345:
It affects how fast the pictures taken. Faster shutter will take quicker pics but will also result in worse low light pics so it's better to have slower shutter for low light and then in the day you can make it faster (I'm pretty sure thats right based on what little I know on cameras)

New version in OP. Details in changelog. There's also an explanation and solution for those (F320) with external SD Card that wish to save photos there.

I have put a flashable stock VS98025B camera driver package in the 3rd post downloads section. It works just fine on vs980, and I would guess it should on others, but I can make no guarantees as there are too many G2 variants and I will ignore posts pertaining to any issues. That's what your backup is for.

[G2 Android Development] seriallife:
Still have the same problem since 5.0.0

Having this same problem since 5.0.0 and it still has not fixed in 5.1.1. Does anybody have a solution for that? Changing the DPI via AppSettings does not work either (still does not use the full screen size)
[G2 Android Development] 60nine:
if your global dpi is not the default 480, i doubt app settings mod can change it per app...
[G2 Android Development] seriallife:
how can i check that? i am on Cloudy G3 1,3 btw

Open appsettings...

Open Xcam...

Set DPI to 480 and save...

Perhaps restart...

[G2 Android Development] johnbeetee:
Don't know if you have installed the new binaries, but this will definitely improve the 3.2 version...and if you have installed them, just install the 5.1.1 apk and compare them yourself ; they co-exist just fine :)

And if you like some more control and fine tuning possablities (with the new 5.1.1) , just but the settings app ; it's well worth it if you appreciate the extra controls :)

(check out the OP and see what you get for it)

[G2 Android Development] xdabbeb:
OP updated with new version.

I spent a lot of time tryring to figure out exactly which binaries could potentially create compatibility issues due to all the variations on model and rom that are out there for this phone. In the OP you can choose between the normal distribution that contains all of the updated files and an alternate version that is trimmed of some potentially problematic files. If you have a problem with the normal distro, restore your backed up files and install the alt version. If that version STILL causes FCs or cannot connect to camera issues, please report here. Thanks.
[G2 Android Development] sdrawkcab3:

1.2 works perfectly however after installing 1.3 I get an error claiming that the phone is still scanning media and the camera never opens. Reinstalled 1.2 and everything works again. I'm on Verizon g2 stock rooted Rom. Any thoughts welcome.

[G2 Android Development] uoY_redruM:

[G2 Android Development] martindar:
same here on ukd802, camera will not load,alt or normal 1.3,cannot connect to camera,media files scanning pop up? 1.2 was and is great thanks!
[G2 Android Development] xdabbeb:
EIS won't work in 60fps target mode.

As for graphics glitches, I haven't touched any of that stuff. It's as it was stock. There was a change in new version of app from xxhpi to xhdpi, and that could explain why people with different nav bar mods have different results. I tested it with stock nav bar and the way I run it (no nav bar + LMT) and it looked fine. If someone with a graphics glitch wants to do the leg work (testing), then I can try to fix it.

[MENTION=3017790]dajmanjt[/MENTION] I'm using a VS980 (as are others) with no problems, so it's not a widespread issue. If you get me a logcat I'll take a look at it.

No...nothing wrong...I think the differences are very subtle...

you can just use them both for a while, and see how they compare in different scenery/settings...

personally I do like the extra options in the donation app + Xcam 5.1.1 ...but if you are not missing anything or want that extra control, it's not strictly needed

Currently i have no idea how it works.

Thanks developer for the cam support love xcam
[G2 Android Development] johnbeetee:
[MENTION=4179467]Tinchoska[/MENTION] meant the version for stock which is the v1.0.0 for G2 roms (vs980 is probably different due to vs980 differences) :)

Hello,

I want this camera to replace the system builtin one completely, i.e., do not use another package name for this XCam app. It is possible now?

One more question

what is the standard DPI of the Navbar (maybe 48?)
[G2 Android Development] 60nine:

[G2 Android Development] willi_3609:
Can you make it work for both microphones on the vs980/ls980/ and other models with two microphones to make it stereo?

Right now I can only hear sound from the right side, if not, can you make it encode in mono so it doesn't sound imbalanced? I thought all my headphones were broken.

If you can, thanks! This improves video and camera quality a lot.

And now you said they are not much different?

Confused!!! :(

---------- Post added at 09:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:07 PM ----------

I have to agree with BlueKnight83, the How To is very unclear.

Anyway, mine is D80020y, rooted stock ROM (not the custom stock-based ROM), so do I have to install the driver/binary package and if so, which one is that?

1. v1.0.0 - For G2/GPro2-based roms

2. v1.0.1 - For G3-based roms

3. Stock VS98025B

Item 2 is out of the picture, now just item 1 and 3.

Item 1 is G2-based ROMs, I assume this is for custom stock-based ROMs so item 3 is left. Why does it have the name of "VS98025B"???

Very unclear instruction
[G2 Android Development] 60nine:
it's clear if you know all the G2 model variants (d801, d802,... vs980...) ;)

so vs980 is for the vs980 (sprint) variant - see attached screenshot from gsmarena...

so yours is d800 (at&t) variant with g2 stock based 20y rom... you can easily go with 1.
[G2 Android Development] votinh:
Thanks a lot for your quick response.

If other helpers could give a clear answer like you just did, people, me included, wouldn't have to keep asking over and over again.

Anyway, great, option 1 here it goes.

Side notes, can you also answer my other questions?

Also, in what case, I don't have to install the binary package? and if I install the binaray package, can I NOT install xcam lg app and continue to use the stock camera app? would it be any better in term performance and feature-wise?
[G2 Android Development] 60nine:
afaik, you can install xcam app without the extra binaries but you won't benefit the all quality extras from the cam...

it's more about the image/video quality than the camera performance

i think if you install/flash only the binaries, the stock cam wouldn't benefit from it (maybe i'm wrong)

for example, if i can remember well - stock cam doesn't have uhd and 120fps in it's user interface... and while the binaries allow that extra options - you won't see them in the stock cam - that's where modded cam app (xcam) comes in...

while it might look the same as stock cam on the user interface part - it has some extra options like i mentioned above...

but you can always try and compare the results...

and for the step beyond that - you can buy the settings app for some extra tweaking like full jpeg quality, shutter speeds, contrast, sharpness etc...

or you can buy it just to support the developer... it's up to you...

btw you're welcome ;)
[G2 Android Development] votinh:
I would click multiple THANKS if it allowed, 60nine :) (wait, is it some sorts of 69 ;))

Once again, big thanks for your answers.

"afaik, you can install xcam app without the extra binaries but you won't benefit the all quality extras from the cam..."

Yeap, I did that and saw virtually nothing new. I guess driver/binary is a must. Will flash it with item 1 in the post above.
[G2 Android Development] wadamean:
It just depends on type of rom that if it is stock or g3 port and you flash the appropriate binaries for your variant and ron

[G2 Android Development] xdabbeb:
Read 2-3 posts above yours. Make a backup (as is stated numerous times) to be safe, and if those don't work you can always try making your own stock driver zip based on your variants files using mine as a guide.

You asked a question that has been answered numerous times, and you waited less than 12 hours for a response?

It's about as clear as it can be made given the wide range of G2 variants, G2-based roms, and G3-based roms. It does require that you actually spend a few minutes reading, however. You might start with at least the first page and a few pages prior to your post...if you had, you would've seen a description of what the VS98025B binaries are for. You might also want to at least read the posts within the thread by the OP. The search feature allows you to do so by author.

They were put there because people had been asking for some time for a stock (which means exactly that...not modified) driver/binary package if they failed to perform a backup in the first place. I put that there as a courtesy for those people (with the caveat that it may not work for all due to variant differences). The only other two sets of binaries AREN'T labeled as stock so, again, I don't see how this could be confusing unless you are jumping in without doing some reading/learning first...which I wouldn't recommend to anyone. Sorry to be so blunt, but if you continue to post in the manner which you have, you are likely to get responses that are much more harsh. XDA is about development/learning/sharing. If after reading through everything you still have questions, then you should post in the dedicated Q&A thread (these rules are also found here at xda if you read)...and when you do, try to be a bit more courteous and less expectant. It will go a long way towards how you are treated in kind. I have spent countless hours of my free time here, on IRC, email and Hangouts helping people with all sorts of issues and questions and will continue to do so, but it sure does make it a lot easier when people go into it with the right demeanor.

I have a vs980 and both mics are working properly. The problem you may be experiencing is that the gain structures are different for each mic...which is a function of the firmware not this app. You can try playing with the mixer xml file, but there are other threads dedicated to that. Be careful when messing with those values, however, and make sure you have a backup.

As I warned in my post, it's possible that the 25B binaries won't play nice with every variant/version...it's possible that the 24A firmware doesn't like them either. If you want the stock driver, your best bet would be to find a zip containing the stock 24A files and simply replace the ones in my zip with those from a 24A firmware. This goes for anyone/everyone wishing to do this!

As someone mentioned, you're likely holding the phone the wrong direction. If that isn't the case, then is it possible you have installed a modified mixer xml file?
