[MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] , on stock g2 without advanced drivers loaded, changes to saturation settings in xcam settings are not visible in pictures taken by intelligent auto mode. In normal mode, changes to color temperature are clearly evident. Just letting you know.
[G2 Android Development] kryogenik:
Yes, I completely understand that. I did a LOT of reading before posting, hence my little mention of being aware I might get some stick. What I'm saying is, before upgrading last night, I didn't see this 'dimming' when flipping over to video. But this is now present on every video mode - I only see people mentioning it happening on 720p, but in any case - up until yesterday I didn't 'suffer' from darker videos at all. I use the app a great deal - I definitely would have noticed.

Nice work on the fixed focus btw.
[G2 Android Development] xdabbeb:
Thanks. As for the change in brightness, all I can say again is that this is the way it has always been. When you switch to video, it's darker.

Perhaps you were using a stock G2 driver before, which has a slower minimum frame rate and is therefore closer to photo mode? If you still don't believe me, find a stock camera apk, install it and see for yourself.
[G2 Android Development] zemix:
in my opinion it's because in INTELLECTUAL auto-mode (not intelligent lol :D ) xcam camera all time itself adjust white-balance and color and other things - automatically! thats why saturation for example not visible in I/A mode... But if the author considers it necessary, maybe it can be fixed)

Question to xdabbeb

As I understand it means, for example - when I record video 1080p 30 fps and push to "take photo" button it can get wide 10 mpx photos or what? Because when I capture a video - camera begins storing snapshots in typical 1080p resolution...

If I don't understand correctly - please in few word explain me what "w10m video snapshot in 1080p" mean? :confused:

No Flash in HDR Mode, Weak Focus

Thanks for the stock cam. Working successfully with CloudyG3 2.0.

Facing some issues. I don't know but can't turn on flash in HDR mode. Same issue with the CloudyG3 camera app too.

Also the focus gets weaker and weaker as I capture multiple single shots of same situation. The first one looks very clear and as we proceed it gets bad.

Moreover, the camera part on back panel gets hotter [Yeah, Its obvious] thought the quality of photos gets worse.

Device Info :

LG G2 D800, Cloudy G3 2.0

Installed with the 2nd link :

XCam LG - for stock G2 + 4kUHD video

XCamLG_523_g2adv.apk

[G2 Android Development] chewdaniel:
can't say about the rest, but HDR mode isn't supposed to have flash...
[G2 Android Development] kryogenik:
Thanks.

I was pretty sure I've been using the advanced driver, but if you say it wouldn't go darker with the stock driver, then I'm starting to doubt myself.

I wouldn't say that anyone doesn't believe you mate, least of all me. And as I've said before - photo wise, this handset would be utter pants without your hard work.

[G2 Android Development] Sylvia:
OK, the "XCam LG - for stock/unrooted G2" works well on G2Mini, but the other solution seems not to be possible. After installing the advanced drivers I get a message "can't find the camera". It is ok, I bought the settings app as well and in my opinion this is a nice improvement for my G2 Mini.
[G2 Android Development] sanogueralorenzo:
[MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] how is the 380 dpi version going? I couldn't manage to make it I get FC after compiling and installing the apk in the phone ^^

my further question is, why for example lg's camera app automatically resize to the dpi when you change it and for the XCam you need an xposed module to change the dpi manually? Would this be solved if the XCam is a system app?
[G2 Android Development] Dustin7892:
The increase in quality and how much I use my camera, this is hands down the reason why I haven't flashed any of the 5.0 roms. Feel loved!

Quick questions..

1. Does this Mod fix the slow focus on dark environments?

2. Which option should I select to use with cloudyG3 2.1 and its default included appcam (G3 cam)

3. Any bugs of which I should be aware of?

Thank you so much for your precious time for reading me, and hope someone could enlighted me. Sorry if this has been answered before.
[G2 Android Development] xdabbeb:
New version posted...details in OP.

Also, here are the 424 and 380 dpi versions as promised. The 380dpi version might need slight tweaks as I don't personally use that screen density so I couldn't verify everything. Someone else can do that if necessary.

You can use the changes I've made to res/values-1803x1080/dimens.xml as a guide on how to do this for your screen density of choice. I likely won't be posting updates to these two, so your best bet is to use the modified version of that file in the future and recompile it on your own. Regardless, please don't post about how to do make the changes/use apktool/etc here as it is well beyond the scope of this thread.

I think I'm getting stupid, but I cant find the download link....
[G2 Android Development] trestevenson:
It's under point #2 within the Installation section of the first post.
[G2 Android Development] zemix:
1) yes, but all that need from you install xcsm apk and buy

xcam settings on playstore

, and in xcam settings set the "shutter control" and other parameters. In short - Larger the value after the symbol "/12...15...20" - the faster work of viewfinder than in stock, but the picture will be darker because less light sensitivity (lower ISO - better clarity and detail, but the photos are not as bright as it in stock lg camera) There is my settings, mostly of time I use "Intellectual Auto Mode" with next set http://ipic.su/img/img7/fs/kiss_85kb.1416858728.png In this case focusing in I/A mode is muuuch faster, practically 100% accuracy

2) can't answer sorry, I use non root stock lg g2 original firmware

3) any errors in more than a month of I use - not found! xdabbeb do a perfect work! I am extremely grateful him! That I found this application does not require Root and uplifting the quality and enjoyment of shooting and filming to a new level

Pure and detailed sound recording in video - this killer feature! I'm almost a year is not willing shot the video, as the sound quality was disgusting! But now, with the possibility of fixed focus and clear sound my smartphone takes better results than a digital camera, disregarding of course zoom)

Please somebody answer on my question about w10m video snapshot in 1080p/720p 30fps modes

#4847

- http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56936723&postcount=4847
[G2 Android Development] xdabbeb:
Yes, that's what w10m snapshot means. If you are recording in 1080p/30 mode and hit the snapshot button it will capture a 4160x2340 frame.
[G2 Android Development] zemix:
great, but looks like it doesn't work [lg g2, 4.4.2 stock, non root]

try set to 1080p (30fps) mode, during film the video press on "take photo" - get 1080p photos...

maybe need enable some settings, I don't find anything((( or it's only for rooted?
[G2 Android Development] xdabbeb:
Yes, I believe it will only work with the advanced driver (not stock). I will update the OP to reflect this, thanks.
[G2 Android Development] vati:
No, it works without advance driver. I'm on stock 20G rooted and snapshot is working well .
[G2 Android Development] Rapoooo:
xdabbeb whether this XCAM LG - for stock G2 + video 4kUHD can add Magic Focus Mode'm on Cloudy G3 2.1 or if I flash this system media_profiles.xml? uhd at me in a dark room noise light are not as you would look for in a tv program
[G2 Android Development] xdabbeb:
Are the resulting photos 4160x2340 though? I believe that was his question. I haven't run the stock driver in some time so I can't confirm without reverting (which I'll do eventually if no one else does).

I believe Cloudy is still using my advanced driver, so you'd want the corresponding version.
[G2 Android Development] Rapoooo:

Nice new look, awesome!!!!! Using beta, I like that xcam settings tell. Me and download for me the latest xcam!!!!! You rule dude
[G2 Android Development] Dustin7892:
Seeing if anyone else has this problem.

I edited the main camera with lg settings, made the contrast ratio a tad high cause it makes the colors a tad more accurate IMO. Now, on the "viewfinder" it shows it darker and whatnot, but once I take the shot it reverts it instantly back to the original settings and takes the picture, then goes back to the high contrast. Any ideas?

EDIT: it saves it as the reverted as well.

Unfortunately, not at this time.

[G2 Android Development] jdaclutch:
For some reason, I'm not able to locate the latest version of the xcam download link. Is it just me? Or it is missing?
[G2 Android Development] kryogenik:
Using the back key cancels away the pop-up, but I'm getting this since updating to the latest version. Everything appears to be working, however.
[G2 Android Development] sanogueralorenzo:
I VERIFY THE 380DPI VERSION IS WORKING CORRECTLY (have been testing it a few minutes and everything seems to be working and properly placed, thank you!)

[MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] do you use the 424 dpi as your default? I've been trying it out its not bad at all compared to the 480, and its quite good if you can't handle the 380dpi because of huge fingers :D (but still want something lower than 480)

I'm still wondering why some apps are able to adjust to any density you change your phone into... it is because they use the four generalized densities? (ldpi, mdpi, hdpi, xhdpi)? To make a camera app (like this one) compatible with all kind of densities should you create alternative layouts for each of the 4 generalized densities?
[G2 Android Development] xdabbeb:
If you've already clicked download and installed the latest, then it's possible that you've got corrupted settings...just try clearing the data/cache for the settings app.

Yes, I use 424 for my build, though I also remove the vr panorama mode because I never use it. The reason some apps don't play nice with dpi changes is just because of how their layout/ui was done in the first place.
[G2 Android Development] Tinchoska:
You will keep working on stock or 424

Patch?

Can anyone help me how to apply the posted patch to use rawtherapee with the raws generated here?

Thanks :)
[G2 Android Development] xdabbeb:
I don't understand your question. If you mean will I be switching everything to a 424dpi base, then no. Posting that was just a favor for those who had previously asked.

It depends on what driver that rom has implemented. If it's the advanced driver, use the 3rd option. You should ask in that rom's thread.

You just need to put the files in that zip into the rtengine/ source directory for rawtherapee and compile it...though I realize I forgot to put the modified dcraw.h file in the zip...all you need to do is declare android_tight_load_raw and android_loose_load_raw though. I'll upload a new zip with that for future reference.

You can switch off "Audio Rec Check" setting in XCam Setting > Video Options or use an app like tasker to make a makro for auto close "ok google" when camera is on.

what do you mean "constant fluctuations" example please?

I use 720 (120 fps slo-mo) on my non root G2, works great! picture quite a bit pixel, but it is understandable (non root, limitations of the processor) In my case, of course, https://plus.google.com/101928199579733136120/posts/4aM2SZNqbaW

@xdabbeb

This may seem strange, but I have such a suggestion (if it possible of course).

Can you add to LG G2 camera shutter sound - a "click" sound from the LG G3 camera? this sound (lg g3 promo camera video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Au3zABq9bD4

He is a short, soft, and I really like how it sounds. I would be insanely grateful if in the list of "shutter sounds" there was this one :o

Hey guys, I may have over looked the answer to my question but would really appreciate any guidance. So I am stock and rooted and am trying to try a couple of scenarios with the xcam.

1.First I would like to know if you can install the xcam without the advanced drivers, if so which should I download.

2. Can you install the advanced drivers and use them in stock camera, is there a benefit?

I'm just trying to see what works best for me.
[G2 Android Development] JeffreyNijnatten:
1. Yes you can, just install the "XCam LG - for stock/unrooted G2"

2. No, If the advanced drivers worked for stock, the other versions were pointless

Actually it is a dumb question :p

Well look on mahdi's like roms this wont work but on g3 roms and g2 roms like optimus g3 rom which is considered stock based by lg. It'll work

So go ahead download and install the app that corresponds to your rom probably the third choice

I would like to report a bug: with the latest version (5.2.4) UHD recording option came out of nowhere (didn't try it yet), but 1080p 60fps is still NOT recording at 60 but at 30 fps (both options are available to choose, but both do the same 30fps recordings).

I'm on cloudy G3 2.1.

Thx a lot

EDIT: I tried switching to another resolution (I switched before only from 1080 60 to 1080 30 and back again) and now 1080p 60fps works properly. Mistery.
[G2 Android Development] zemix:
This is not mysticism, think it features a curved custom firmware code...

With time of usage Custom Rom's - custom firmware happens sh%%t out for unknown reasons. sometimes rapid discharge, do not correct work of some updated applications that on stock work great, and so on...

Specifically about this author of XCAM pointed out in header that the application is designed exclusively and basicaly for the original drivers and files the camera & settings...

For custom firmware - firmware's author themselves are already making changes to the camera. So it is a matter for them if they can correctly ported or not.

This is just my opinion, you can be forced to disagree. But the experience of using Android shows that everything is exactly.

I'll keep it in mind for the next release.

The only times I've heard of this happening are:

1) shooting in HDR/Night mode with 5MP size selected...this size isn't included in the stock app, and for whatever reason makes the driver cranky in zsl/multi. This has been discussed previously. I may just remove that size option.

2) defective hardware as was just suggested.

The typical scenario would be sitting in the audience of an auditorium at a children's concert or sitting in the stands at a sporting event.

I have just got a LG G2 and installed Xcam straight away.

However, it just seems to start the default camera app when I run it?

I then went on to uninstall the default app, but it still runs it???

I mean, they don't look exactly the same, do they? I can't find a single screenshot here of Xcam which I find really strange. But if they UI does look identical, I was unable to find all the extra settings in the app, which is why I assume my phone is just starting the default camera app, when I try to open Xcam.

What am I doing wrong here?

I installed the stock Xcam app. It even says Xcam LG in the app drawer.

And I ticked 'unknown sources' as well.
[G2 Android Development] masteryx:
Actually they DO look exactly the same. The differences reside in the options menu, where you will find one extra ISO value (1600, not present in the default app) and additional entries for video resolutions. All the other differences are "under the hood", and you gain control over them if you purchase the XCam LG Settings app, thus also supporting the developer.

[G2 Android Development] Armadillo123:
Aha... it's not me being stupid then :)

So, on a basic level taking a picture in 'normal' mode would be better than default LG one? Or does the advances come by using the settings app alone?

I don't mind paying for it, it's cheap as chips after all. It's more a question of whether I know enough to change the settings to an appropriate value that will actually improve the quality of the images.

I saw a couple of people praise 'intelligent auto'. Is that a good starting point or should I really be using it in manual mode?
[G2 Android Development] SPBoss:
Quick question here because I am so confused. I did research this thread but still not sure so here goes.

I had d80220d with your mod and it worked great. Recently I update software to d80220g and the camera quality doesn't seem the same.

I've installed the latest xcam and "xdabbeb_camera_binaries_v1.0.0g2" however it doesn't look it has worked properly. I have confirmed the mod is installed by checking 4k recording mode but the picture quality looks the same as stock and not as I had it before.

I don't understand what I have done wrong so could someone please correct me?
