[G2 Android Development] deathshead:
The tiny ocd icon issue encountered with xposed is nothing, when experience the amazing performance to be had with the 1.3.1 version.

My test from the start has been a terribly lit ccfl lit room with my LG 47" googletv. I sit about 15ft away from the tv.

My test is to open the camera in default auto mode and touch focus on the tv screen.

With the stock camera it cant focus and meter the light correctly so u get a terrible noisey pic with the tv screen so blurry its useless.

With the 1.3.1 camera here, i open the camera, i touch focus to the tv screen and snap away..

With this camera its like magic, it focuses on the tv set and the rest of the room gets really dark.

I could crop it and you would think the tv snap shot was a real picture..

I know this sounds wierd but this is impressive,
[G2 Android Development] Steamer86:
Sample of what this mod can do compared to stock. Normal, in house light, no flash.

And what the person above me was talking about. Light metered and focused to TV / laptop, although room was decently lit.

And... a night shot.

Thank you so much for helping with LG's screw up. And yes, I've been in that bottle.

Using Rayglobe ROM and it crashes the camera when i flash the latest 1.3.1, even tried the "alt" version and no go

anyone else experiencing this?
[G2 Android Development] derek_09:
Hi Xdabbeb,

I was on 1.1.1 quite for my G2 D802 10b. I tried to flash the latest version 1.3.1 and did the steps for back up / restore but now my camera cannot connect.

Not sure if there was anything I did wrong. I flash back up before flashing the mod and as it can't connect. I flashed the restore and after that the original mod (1.1.1) that I have again but it still showed the same, cannot connect.

Instead of doing the nandroid restore, is there any other way I can do this like replacing files physically?

Your advice is much appreciated..worse to worse I got to do the nandroid restore.. :(

Cheers.

Derek

I want to ask about Xcam application. Sorry.. MY Auto Correct.
[G2 Android Development] :
Manual focus acting weird

I did a search for this issue before posting and didn't find anything, but there is a lot to sift through. Forgive me if this issue had been addressed.

When I switch to manual focus the viewfinder gets all distorted and I can't really focus on anything. It almost looks like I'm taking a picture under water. Anyone else had this problem? I love the camera otherwise and this won't be a deal breaker for me since the autofocus works great, but I may want to mess with manual focus at some point.
[G2 Android Development] khanjui:
Stock settings coming with Auto Night Mode, Noise Reduction, Chroma Flash (which only works with "Normal Mode" and Night Mode on. Auto Night Mode and Night Mode totally useless IMO, just slowing shutter speed, don't making photos looks better. Neither don't making focus better. I tried many times with different locations, lights and objects. Noise Reducton making colors like a mud while is on. Chroma flash only works with "Normal Mode". Sometimes "on" better sometimes "off"... Depending on light and distance. But the difference is not much. I prefer keep it off and use "Intelligent Auto". My resolutions are: 1920x1080 (16:9) with front camera and 4160x3120 (4:3) with rear camera. My video settings are all default and using 1920x1080 30Fps both front and rear camera.

I can recommend adjust contrast to "6" with "Normal Mode" while taking photos of flowers, trees, pallid objets, sometimes cars etc...

Contrast setting don't work with "Intelligent Auto". Sharpness and saturation works fine.

All settings are personal, I am not betting these are best. But for me best so far...
[G2 Android Development] 60nine:
hm.. i'm missing the chroma flash setting...

i didn't notice that so far...
[G2 Android Development] khanjui:
Did you install Camera Driver/Binary Package?
[G2 Android Development] 60nine:
erm... yes

edit:

i've reinstalled the xcam settings app and everything is ok...

i think the problem was because i was using the version from my titanium backups (since i was on g3 ported rom before and now i use stock rom)
[G2 Android Development] guvno:
Is the v2.0 advance driver really installed in Cloudy G2 3.3?

I checked some of the files, like the system/etc/media_profiles.xml and the installed file in Cloudy G2 3.3 is different from the one found in the advanced driver v.2.0.0 for LP 5.0.2

Is there a easy way to install the advanced driver v.2.0.0 or do I need to replace all the files, make sure that permissions and owners and all are the same?
[G2 Android Development] 60nine:
advanced driver for cloudy roms (or any g3 ported rom) is different than advanced driver for stock LP 5.0.2
[G2 Android Development] khanjui:
You can dirty flash if you want. But there is no reason. Cloudy 3.3 already have it, 0 difference.
[G2 Android Development] guvno:
Thanks for clarifying this 69!

So I can rest assured that the advanced driver is there? The xCam is working and UHD video is working fine but I thought that I am perhaps missing out on some other stuff which is why I started to check.

Thanks again

---------- Post added at 02:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:20 PM ----------

By dirty flash you mean just flash using TWRP right? But I suppose you and 69 are correct. If it is there then its fine. I just didnt know that there would be a difference in the files, I thought they would be identical but what 69 said makes sense. Thanks!
[G2 Android Development] 60nine:
the only thing you could be missing using cloudy rom with advanced driver is the chroma flash option that works only on stock LP roms...

if you see the UHD option in the camera settings - than you already have the advanced driver for your rom... no need for additional flashing...

cheers
[G2 Android Development] gamertwo1:
Hi, I've D800 with cloudy 3.3, twrp 2.8.7.1 and dorimanx-kernel v6.0. I've installed advanced LP cam.apk ! is it ok? or do I need to install any other thing? and I don't see HUD or 4K video recording option.
[G2 Android Development] 60nine:
1. it's UHD - not HUD

2. UHD = 4k
[G2 Android Development] gamertwo1:
U just correct my typo but didn't answer it.
[G2 Android Development] 60nine:
you got your answer - UHD = 4k

and you can find it under video settings (not photo settings)

if it's not there - reinstall the app...

if it's still not there

- uninstall the xcam app

- flash the advanced driver for g3 ported roms again

- install the xcam app

Hello,

Could anyone explain me how camera for stock roms and stock based roms working, I mean which mods should I use, Because I found a few

[APP][DRIVER] XCam LG v6.2.4 [G2] - is it most important thing ? main drivers to get 4k, 120 fps?

[NEW-LL] G3 Port Camera App-Full Screen-Video - this one is just camera app ported from g3, is it? and does it require xcam lg 6.2.4 ?

[MOD]Camera Libs 5.0.2 - new mod, can I use it after installation of mods above? will it work on cloudyg2 2.2 (android 4.4.4)

The last one, [MOD][PORT] Jishnu's Camera™ V3.5B | F50 [4K… thread is discontinued, but maybe is still worth to install this cam?

didnt work either . what ma i missing? i have rom based on stock. the camera app. a player that supports playback came with freedcam.? i even flash lp binaries.? shoot in 120fps but when i play back it just plays very fast..
[G2 Android Development] 60nine:
use stock video player

click play, click pause

click settings and turn down the playing speed to 0.2

or

use some app to render 120fps video with slow motion (on pc or on phone itself)

all of this has been explained many times already
[G2 Android Development] EvilKing009:
Did you tried with Stock LG video player ? If not, then 3rd part apps do not support slow motion mode in videos(Plays very fast).
[G2 Android Development] raptorddd:
yes they all play fast, noe i flashed coudy 3.3 and samething, ia have not installed the advance xcam yet so ill do it tomorrow and check.. so when i record at 120 the video should play slow motion

oooh wait you mean stock video app. i deleted that app and i did use the one from gallery mx player and the one from freedcam..

With Cloudy G2 2.2 anyone recommend to install anyway the advanced drivers, or not?

For better camera quality. Anyone try that on this rom?

I have already read this in first post:

but I ask if anyone tryed to install advanced drivers con Cloudy G2 2.2 and this improve the camera quality, or if the camera quality is already best with Cloudy 2.2 and the xdabbeb advanced apk without advanced drivers.
[G2 Android Development] 60nine:
cloudy roms already include advanced camera drivers...

Hi bud

I need your help . I debloated default video player and now i cant enjoy slo-mo videos on my device . Searched a lot here but could not find . Hope you upload that and give me the link . Thanks in advance :good::D
[G2 Android Development] 60nine:
extract it from the rom zip file of your rom... and put it in "system/priv-app/LGVideo" folder with proper permissions

you'll need both LGVideo.apk & "lib" folder

btw there must be a flashable version of this on xda
[G2 Android Development] rajkatiyar07:
Thats why i asked to you , I searched a lot with different keywords but could not find the app or zip .
[G2 Android Development] 60nine:
you have the rom zip file
[G2 Android Development] rajkatiyar07:
Yeah i do.. But dont know the permissions and folder locations. Where to put the libs and what permissions required by apk.

BTW using Cloudy G2 3.3
[G2 Android Development] 60nine:
man, i've already wrote you where you have to put the files...

1. create the "LGVideo" folder under "system/priv-app/" folder...

2. copy "LGVideo.apk" in the "LGVideo" folder

3. copy "lib" folder in the "LGVideo" folder

4. "LGVideo" folder permissions are - "rwx r-x r-x"

5. "LGVideo.apk" file permissions are - "-rw-r-r--"

6. "lib" folder permissions are "drwxr-xr-x"

7. "arm" folder (inside "lib" folder) permissions are - "drwxr-xr-x"

8. "libdummy_32.so" file (inside "arm" folder) permissions are - "-rw-r-r--"

check other files and folders in "priv-app" folder to see if your file and folder permissions are the same...

i don't guarantee this will work...

if i were you - i'd dirty flash the rom again... and i bet there is a flashable version of LG video app on XDA (or even G3 version that works on G2)...

suggest me some good rom for lg g2 d802 with xcam support! my phone is slow and i need to make a full reset, so, why not change?
[G2 Android Development] 60nine:
almost every rom that is stock based supports Xcam... some of them already include Xdabbeb's advanced drivers

some of them are Cloudy3.x, Optimus' rom, somboons' stock roms (i even think some of the newer ones like Google Edition 1.x supports it too, but i'm not 100% sure)

Xcam doesn't work on aosp roms (CM and stuff)...

rom is a totally subjective thing - not all of us have the same needs and usage pattern... what might be slow for you also might be just fine for me and vice versa...

[G2 Android Development] maverick81:
Hello all, I have a rooted D802 with Lollipop 5.0.2. (stock) and wanted to flash the advanced camera binaries via TWRP. This was completed successfully but after that I was stuck in a bootloop (LG logo and flashing light).

What can I do to have the advanced binaries included without bootloop?
[G2 Android Development] masteryx:
Technically you shouldn't have any trouble with this. Are you sure you flashed the correct version for your ROM (v2.0.0)? Also, I believe that you must install the advanced version of XCam before flashing the advanced drivers.

The links above (taken from the original post) point to the correct files based on the information you provided.
[G2 Android Development] maverick81:
I am a little bit confused now. Yesterday I installed the advanced version of X-Cam and I found 4K and 120p slow motion plus also magic focus in the settings of X-Cam. Is this an evidence that the advanced driver/binaries is already installed?!
[G2 Android Development] stifflers:
No UHD anymore

Cheers,

i am on android 5.0.2 stock. after a longer time i did install the xcam again. first i installed the app "xcam settings", and then downloaded the app "xcam". after install i do not have the UHD mode ... :confused: everything is working, but 4k is missing. whats the point? what can i do to get it back? see the attachement for a screen.
[G2 Android Development] Nightshadow931:
You have to install driver itself, not just the app.

It's in the first post. Just read it.
[G2 Android Development] stifflers:
Which i did, as discribed. You can see on that screenshot, that slowmo is available. This means, the driver is installed, but without 4k feature... :eek:
[G2 Android Development] 60nine:
you didn't flash the advanced driver (although you've installed both apps - you still need the advanced driver binaries that have to be flashed through recovery)
[G2 Android Development] raptorddd:
i think you need both advance drivers installed thru twrp and advance camera apk.
[G2 Android Development] stifflers:
so, i did this. now the UHD mode is here BUT: the video is really poor quality in 4k. HD is working fine. But UHD is pixeled all over the place, as with 320x240 recording. very strange. A 30 second recording has 2.8 mb of size at 3840x2160 pixels... somethings gone wrong... but what? any hints?
[G2 Android Development] raptorddd:
not sure . but what i would do is a fresh installation or factory reset and start from there.
[G2 Android Development] noobSU:
Anyone can optimize it for 400dpi? I have G pro & camera is working but the view is half black because of the dpi issue. Changing dpi from xposed app settings make video view stretched. ?
[G2 Android Development] raptorddd:
raw is missing on this cam, why not have added raw.? it cant?
[G2 Android Development] rajkatiyar07:
RAW is available only on kitkat ? for LP it has been disabled by LG . If you want RAW go back to kitkat and you are good to go with Xcam. i use freedcam for that which is able to capture DNG & RAW (bayer-mipi-10bggr formats) and happy with that . You can see samples on my instagram ( Use signature link to redirect there :fingers-crossed:) . Xcam & Freedcam my daily photography tools ;):cowboy:
[G2 Android Development] raptorddd:
yes i also use freedcam, but thats my queston? how come xcam doesnt have it and freedcam does.? they both of LP.
[G2 Android Development] rajkatiyar07:
Thats what i mentioned Snap camera and freedcam use bayer-mipi-10bggr format to generate RAW & DNG . These apps unlock features of Qualcomm integrated devices that have raw/mipi/qcom in picture format list. Whereas XCAM totally dependent on device drivers integrated by OEM and dont alter anything on picture format list.

For better understanding contact [MENTION=5128617]troopii[/MENTION] or [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] :p
[G2 Android Development] xdabbeb:
This has been discussed a number of times here and in the beta group, but see below for details.

That's not true, actually. All of the apps capable of raw on the G2 (including mi2raw) used the same method...setting picture-format to bayer-mipi-10bggr. The problem is that LG made some changes in the G2 L driver/HAL that broke it for everyone else. Namely, the buffers are getting dumped before the callback is received. No error and so not much to go on. I have spoken with troopii in the past about this and he had no idea why his works. We're still doing the same thing, and it still works on the G3 XCam version. There are so many quirks involved in getting a lot of these things working that it's likely something completely random that wouldn't occur to anyone and is seemingly unrelated. I haven't given up, but it's likely going to be something that I or someone else stumbles upon.
[G2 Android Development] santope:
Installed this on my G2 (D805, Kitkat 4.4.2, Lightning ROM) I see 2 differences from the stock camera

1. Silent shutter option, cool.

2. Magic focus mode, does not work.

I suppose you have to pay to see the other tricks?
[G2 Android Development] 60nine:
no tricks in camera app would visually be seen if you purchase xcam settings app

[MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] trying to hide this from us eh!?

Took quite a while to find the thread, never would have assumed it was here.
[G2 Android Development] xdabbeb:
Not my doing, but you're not alone as I've gotten a number of messages like yours since. It IS a bit odd that it happened now after all this time (2013!! Wow, has it been that long?).

@TonyStark moved it this week as part of an apparent forum "cleanup". Though this is an app the thread also contains the HAL/driver which is decidedly not. Furthermore, other apps/apks were not relocated. I sent him a couple of PMs regarding this a few days ago but have yet to hear back. Who knows, but it just seemed to create more confusion than it cleared up.
[G2 Android Development] Lawlrus:
[MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION]

That makes sense then. And yeah, I was always accustomed to finding the thread in the android device section, because of these being drivers and not an actual app. Had to find the thread from your profile and started threads
