I've had this mod ever since it came out and have always raved about its quality. However, after fully resetting my phone (.tot flashing) I reinstalled and flashed everything and I could swear the quality is less than stocks. Any idea why? I can try and flash the drivers again, but I don't know what else to really do besides everything over again.

with xcam setting you can turn off auto focus in video.

Bought and installed XCam LG Settings. This configuration app should work with the three versions of the first post shouldn't it?

XCamLG_524_g2.apk - (XCam LG - for stock/unrooted G2)

XCamLG_524_g2uhd.apk - (XCam LG - for stock G2 + 4kUHD video)

XCamLG_524_g2adv.apk - (XCam LG - for G2 using the advanced driver)

I've tested it with stock unrooted G2 and in the video config allows to disable continuous autofocus. The thing is that keeps focus during video recording set to infinite, so it doesn't record properly macro videos or at shorter distance. Any solution for that? I would like to be able to use a focus slider like in photo mode.
[G2 Android Development] vati:
all them works with the setting ap. but for advance you need advanced driver

for uhd you need to change the media_profiles.xml

Continuous Focus: This is the default focus mode for video that adjusts continually based on both your and your subjects' movement. Turn it off to access the following mode

Fixed Focus: When continuous focus is OFF and this is ON, video mode will be set at a fixed/infinity focal point.

When both continuous AND this is turned OFF, the focal point can be set while in photo mode and when you switch to video it will hold that focal point.
[G2 Android Development] scandiun:
It works. Would be great to set the focal point while in video mode directly :cool:

Why you don't have bar for saturation? I have it on my xcam settings.

I'm use it on stock rooted rom. Are you on ported G3 rom?

Question for XDABBEB. Why is that happening?
[G2 Android Development] shaneel1491:
Because you don't have the advanced binaries installed..
[G2 Android Development] SashaVeliki:
CloudyG3 2.1 almost have that...?! Or no?
[G2 Android Development] 60nine:
saturation works only on stock based roms... i'm on cloudy g3 2.1...

[MENTION=3893393]shaneel1491[/MENTION] - cloudy g3 2.1 rom already comes with advanced driver from xdabbeb
[G2 Android Development] shaneel1491:
Yea, true...

If you need to adjust saturation you can use an editing app like Snapseed..
[G2 Android Development] 60nine:
i know... i'm using snapseed since it came out...
[G2 Android Development] scandiun:
I would like to know which exact files are modified by the advanced driver zip installer, so I can backup them all to be able to revert in the future, in case the stock camera app starts malfunctioning.
[G2 Android Development] kryogenik:
Is that saturation bar only for G3? I have the advanced driver on a G2 and don't see that.
[G2 Android Development] 60nine:
saturation bar doesn't depend on advanced drivers but it depends on the rom itself

if you're using g3 ported rom or any other rom that isn't stock based - saturation bar will not exist...

saturation works only on stock based roms...

if you don't have advanced drivers - xcam settings wouldn't work at all...
[G2 Android Development] kryogenik:
Thanks mate.

I have a stock rom on a rooted G2 running the advanced driver installed using TWRP (which oddly appears to have vanished from my G2 and I can't find it on Play Store either.. very puzzled).
[G2 Android Development] 60nine:
i didn't quite understand you

what's missing? xcam settings or twrp?
[G2 Android Development] kryogenik:
Sorry - TWRP had vanished from my phone. No idea why.

Just reinstalled it with Autorec but it still doesn't show in my apps.

I'll look at that later.

[edit - ignore the above - I have QuickBoot installed to get to TWRP - sorry, it's my first day back at work and my head is frazzled]

I have Xcam Settings installed and the adbanced driver (via TWRP) but I don't see the saturation bar so I guess something is amiss somewhere on my device.
[G2 Android Development] xdabbeb:
Per the OP...saturation is only an option with the stock G2 camera driver. LG removed the functionality with devices released after the G2. As has been mentioned many times, the advanced driver is based on the GPro2...which came after the G2.
[G2 Android Development] shaneel1491:
I don't know how useful this will be, but someone in the G3 forum was trying to port the new L api's to his G3, however, as expected he kept on getting thrown an error.

issues switching camera

Hey guys, i am having very long delays when i switch from front to rear camera or rear to front (around 5 to 10 seconds). No matter what app i use (xcam of stock g3) i am on cloudy g3 2.1 with the very awesome dorimanx 9.5 kernel (and nova launcher for a lollipop feel :p) would flashing the binaries solve the problem or is it the kernel that causes this annoyance

[G2 Android Development] lingarajug:
Switched back to stock kk d80020c firmware after a while, installed the cam from the first post and all is well, now in 4th post i am confused as to how to install it and can i have both cams installed at same time, thank u.
[G2 Android Development] scandiun:
You can have both at the same time
[G2 Android Development] lingarajug:
I might not have posted correctly, i actually meant to say the camera and xml file from post 1, the stock camera and then the camera and advanced driver from post 4. Can i have all these 3 at the same time or do i have remove post 1 camera and install post 4 camera, can u also take time if u can to explain difference between post 1 and post 4 camera. Thanks you.
[G2 Android Development] scandiun:
I think that you can because the xml in the zip file is like the original one in your phone except that adds the lines for UltraHD and 60 frames per second, but the other option should remain the same. You just can grab the xml on your stock phone and the one in the zip cwm and compare them.

Didn't see any q&a for this thread so just thought I'd ask here. I read through the op and I know this only works on stock Roms. There's an miui ROM based on stock ROM and just wondering if that would count. I wanted to try miui for a little but I probably won't leave the lg Roms for too long if xcam doesn't work on the other Roms since I can't stay without it.

I know it doesnt work on aosp Roms and it's only meant for stock. Just curious if miui based on stock would have the same framework so if it would work.

Thanks and if there is a q&a that wasn't mentioned in op please link it and I'll move this there.

[G2 Android Development] abdel12345:
Do you have a backup before installation? If so that would be the easiest fix to just restore it. If not then just backup data using recovery and then download a stock ROM and put it on your phone. Then wipe system and data and cache, flash the ROM, then restore data and youll have all your data bank on stock though it'll be a modified ROM version instead of the complete stock. You really shouldn't flash things without a backup first just remember that for later

[G2 Android Development] misteurz:
No i don't have a backup, but I just installed an apk so i thought uninstalling it could resolve any problem...
[G2 Android Development] abdel12345:
So you didn't flash the advanced drivers? I thought that's what you meant when you said installed. If all you did was install an apk than yeah you shouldn't have any issues. Just uninstalling it should fix it. But just so you know without the advanced drivers I'm pretty sure the app doesn't work as it should.

Sorry not sure what's wrong. If all you did was install the app I don't see how it's still there after uninstalling. If you haven't modified any system files I can't see what the problem is. Maybe it's a coincidence and your lens is just dirty? Can you try installing Google camera from play store and see if the issues there too? Maybe try a factory reset? That's about all I can think to try for now.

Of course it will give less definition and less quality because of the compression, it's like when you send a pic over Whatsapp, the compression is terrible an affects quality. Chroma flash make flash being more white than stock. And, because of that, more bright than stock.

[G2 Android Development] sojrner:
As others are pointing at, this is a subjective assessment. On those two pics, one is colder, one warmer. In the versions you have here, neither is different "quality" at any appreciable level. You have tweaked colors in second one and made it darker, so what?

Use different settings or apps, buy the OP's settings app and adjust to your heart's content. Regardless, not something to "fix" in this camera.

[G2 Android Development] SashaVeliki:
I know what is the problem. Problem of much red color on picture is in flash. I tried SnapHDR app and picture night with flash are so clear, not too much red color and better look. U can try SnapHDR. Only problem is to much noise in dark without flash, probably becouse driver and optimization.
[G2 Android Development] xdabbeb:
Happy New Year! Yes, it's in the settings app.

He's actually saying he wants it to be even cooler than the advanced driver...which is the OPPOSITE of what the person I was replying to in that post wanted. However, some of my reply still applies here...which is namely that LG doesn't give that level of control on the WB.

See above...and what you're stating is simply a personal preference that many (including myself) don't share. The 2nd photo you posted has a green cast that I don't like. I can't comment on the fine details due to how they were posted. Regardless, this is getting OT.
