This is not really up to me to answer, but I believe that installing XCam and the advanced driver will make a difference in the results you will obtain, even in Normal mode. You get all this without installing the settings app which, by the way, is not complicated at all to use. Just some sliders and switches, all very well explained in the second post of this thread.

Intelligent Auto (or "Intellectual" Auto as some users like to call it because, well, it's beyond smart :p) is a very good starting point. It's my default "lazy" option and so far I was never disappointed. There is a noticeable difference between default camera's IA and XCam's IA, and I strongly favor the latter.

Xdabbeb.? Do I think this camera will work on droid turbo. Have one coming tomorrow and already I know the camera is basic cause I got my girl one. But if so it needs a 21mp setting.

What's the possibility of u developing for droid turbo camera
[G2 Android Development] abdel12345:
Considering this needs lg stock firmware I'd say it's a good guess v that theres zero possibility that this will work on there.
[G2 Android Development] asdfvtn:
Do you guys find that the white balance in the LG G2 is really off, or is it just me? I find the pictures extremely cool toned. Is there a way to fix this?
[G2 Android Development] abdel12345:
No I agree. It's cooler than other phones. I put my brothers z2 and my g2 side by side and though the pictures were both pretty good the g2 seemed a little tinted towards bluish

saturation control on g3

Hi,

is there a way to add the saturation control for G3 rom?
[G2 Android Development] 60nine:
have you all compared pictures only on the different devices, or on a computer?

maybe lg screen trickens you because in stock settings - it's a bit bluish without calibration
[G2 Android Development] asdfvtn:
I have, it's true, it looks better on my colour calibrated Surface Pro, but still, it's definitely blu-er than I think it should be. While on that topic, do you have some RGB colour settings you use? I can't seem to find a nice medium.

Edit: Red =255, Green =245 and Blue = 230 from Slimer777 (Thanks!)

Now I feel like my screen is too yellow. Can't tell if it's because I'm used to the blue or something. I do have a D803 though, not the D802 Slimer777 recommended this for.

I turned up the blue to 240 for now.
[G2 Android Development] 60nine:
i'm using [MENTION=3279781]bender_007[/MENTION] 's app screen calibrator with 255/250/245 (d802)...

it may be that you're used to blueish screen too much...

although, lg ips screen is way better in the term of realistic colors than any samsung device (which may look oversaturated & overbright or just has color temperature wrong)

but this is offtopic :)
[G2 Android Development] glacies:
Guys, the cool blue tint/tone is what bugs me the most as well. White balance is also off for most shots.

Not the mods fault, of course. Damn you LG!

Ps. Yes I checked the pics on a computer.

anyone have issues where the camera doesn't focus when in video mode? i find that more than half the time, when i open up the camera app and go into video mode, the picture is blurry and not focused. to fix it, i have to either flick the camera around really fast, aim it at something else first (usually something far away), or put my finger in front of the camera to block it out completely then remove finger. this started happening since 5.2.3 for me.

i install this "XCam LG - for stock G2 + 4kUHD video" i flash the media file and the advance driver i have the 2nd camera i choose 120fps (slowmo) but even that the video is very dark the video plays normally....no slowmotion...whay am i doing wrong???
[G2 Android Development] 60nine:
search a thread a bit... especially Q&A thread for Xcam

1. dark 120fps videos have been explained

2. how to play slowmotion videos has been explained
[G2 Android Development] pikachukaki:
yeah im not a g2 user thats why i didnt read alot of the thread...i know about the dark video i said it cause thats the way i see its working...but i didn't know it need a special way to play a slowmo video....
[G2 Android Development] 60nine:
yes - options to play the slow motion:

1. use stock lg video player - open slowmotion video - press settings - lower the play speed

2. use one of 3rd party applications (mentioned in the thread) to render the slowmotion video (either on pc or on the device itself)
[G2 Android Development] pikachukaki:
thanks i though they will play the same as g3...normally...too bad!! :/
[G2 Android Development] xdabbeb:
The G3 comes with a different video player that recognizes 120fps video and automatically mutes sound and slows it down. You also installed the wrong apk. Per the OP, if you installed the advanced driver you would install the corresponding apk version.
[G2 Android Development] Cienight:
Ok guys here's my situation

I decided to root with stump root (d80220h) and installed supersu. Now I want to flash the updated driver package but this is not possible with the stock recovery,is it?

---------- Post added at 09:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 PM ----------

By the way I had two failed attempts of installing a custom recovery via flashify (both cwm and twrp failed with a black screen on boot) is there a way to check if I damaged my stock recovery?

Nevermind used autorec to change to an older bootloader and now I have twrp 2.7

Can any moderator in the XCam LG Settings Beta Google+ community accept my request?
[G2 Android Development] joedajoester:
On cloudyg3, loving this mod. One thing about the g2 is that when there is not a ton of light, the shutter drops so much and basically you're left with mind boggling terribly blurry photos. Like it must be some sick joke how bad it is. And 2$ for the donate app seems a bit ridiculous considering i am always on aosp, and just need to be on this rom for vacation. I found in /system/etc/camera_config.xml and it has parameters for fps_range_ia and the other ones that are changeable from xcam settings app. When i change the numbers from the .xml and reboot i dont see any difference. IA mode still goes to 1/9 shutter when i have the number changed in the .xml. Anyone have any suggestions? I just cant do with this camera anymore. The g3 doesnt seem to have this shutter issue the g2 has, even though both phones have the same sensor.
[G2 Android Development] Cienight:
[MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] I'd like to report that there are (not always) audio sync issues when recording 4k video
[G2 Android Development] Jonous:
Yes there are. For me always.
[G2 Android Development] jcnbama:
Just have a quick question. I'm on Cloudy G3 and one thing I've noticed about the stock camera is the ability to tap to focus while recording. XCam seems to have trouble focusing (only in video recording) sometimes and u can't always get it to focus. I bought the donation settings app and there still isn't alot of help there although there are some settings for focus. Is this something anyone else notices? It seems especially prevalent in lowlights (see: recording Christmas Lights Displays) Just wondering if there is a setting for that maybe I'm overlooking...
[G2 Android Development] sulla65:
Thank you for this! The one complaint I had with the LG G2 was the horrible video capabilities, ie breathing focus and the noise gate issue. Both resolved with the addition of XCam LG settings

Question , has any AOSP rom developer get this to work on a rom? If not, what stock roms out there do?. Thanks
[G2 Android Development] sulla65:
Does Cloudy rom support the option to turn off the noise gate? or is that only available with stock rom? Thanks
[G2 Android Development] 60nine:
afaik, all xcam settings (donate app) work on cloudy's g3 ported roms except image saturation (which is available only with stock roms)
[G2 Android Development] Djsam92:
Hi, thanks for your great work! Is it possible to add longer shutter time on xcam settings? [emoji16]
[G2 Android Development] dadmcleader:
Hi all,I recently installed g2 xcam using advanced driver on cloudyg3 2.1 rom and when i use intelligent auto in settings xcam freezes and then in camera i can see the environment very dark .Also if I choose another setting ex. normal or another camera application with flash the image looks overexposed and then it goes back to normal again.

Any ideas why is this happen?

I read that the same thing can happen in 120fps video in stock roms but in cloudyg3 it works nice.
[G2 Android Development] xdabbeb:
Unfortunately not with KitKat, sorry. The only hack around this is to use the preview feed, but the quality of the resultant photos is very low.

This is a known issue with the driver, not the camera app (which is why the preview is broken until you reboot). It only seems to happen when you have flash enabled and switch from some other mode to IA mode. The workaround is to just launch your camera in IA mode with flash enabled. I actually recommend using Normal mode as it is capable of producing much better photos without LG's "intelligent" decisions getting in the way.
[G2 Android Development] dadmcleader:
OK ,thanks!
[G2 Android Development] HTCZ715E:
Audio is low quality; Should be possible high quality!

Hello, developer!

(I am on 26A stock/rooted)

while recording with XCam (and with stock) camera, I noticed, that audio quality is poor.

after some investigation I found following:

1. LgCamera does record good audio quality. (so it is possible)

2. RecForge - Audio recorder has in menu switch for Audio Source.

if I choose "Front Microphone" , quality is good.

if I choose "Back Microphone" , quality is poor -> same as for Camera recording.

>> and!! where is this "Back Microphone"!?!? some mist is here :) because same hole is used for recording, as I tried..
[G2 Android Development] xdabbeb:
There is already an option in the settings app to do this

EDIT [MENTION=2032182]aohmer[/MENTION] no, it is the same.
[G2 Android Development] aohmer:

[G2 Android Development] manuelmagix:
Oupss, apreciated xdabbeb, I dont see, option choose mic front/back [emoji5] [emoji5] [emoji5]
[G2 Android Development] xdabbeb:
No problem...that's because the previous user posted erroneous information. The mics aren't front/back. If you turn off audio noise gate you'll remove the effect you're talking about. If you leave stereo on, both mics will be active (though one will now be much quieter due to not going through all of the digital gain staging/processing), or you can turn that off as well for only one mic.

EDIT: this and all settings options are detailed in the 2nd post.
[G2 Android Development] zemix:
I have no words, how people are lazy, damn...

Audio noise gate OFF

Stereo mic OFF

And you will be surprised, getting clear, crisp, loud and quality sound recording in video!

better than stock in hundreds times! better than iPhone, better than Samsung...

Yes it's mono, but a lot of privileges, more than a lot! I so happy that I find X cam Settings, coz stock video sound so disgusting, so aggressive noise suppress, from the distance I can't hear people talk about, singing of birds on the streets, sound of cars on the streets like underwater, really annoying ( I dunno what LG's engineers think when put thus bad poor sound in video by default...

Now I record a lot of vids, and enjoy the sound,

BTW, now you can easily record vids on concerts, it's pretty awesome, especially with fixed focus features, I have no words how I thankful to xdabbeb, for his amazing hard work! :good:
[G2 Android Development] HTCZ715E:
1. well, that possibilities are not for everyone, but who can buy.. and you should know, not from every country is possible to pay..

2. if you examine RecForge, you will see, Audio noise gate not does there trouble..
[G2 Android Development] manuelmagix:
Very well off/off for concerts

Xcam Lg Settings --: http://youtu.be/Hw6fDWzePgk
[G2 Android Development] zemix:
it's dictaphone, it's another app, another function another case

I use ASR recorder it has more settings, more formats, and yes "noise gate" not problem for this app too., and free vers. has no any limitations as Recforge has...

This is camera, and we talk about sound in video, and it more useful if you use it more often, than dictaphone...

I understand that "noise gate" it's simple software trouble of LG's engineer's, but they don't care... They don't care in G2,and surprisingly in G3 too... I love LG, but this 'don't care' out of my mind....

[G2 Android Development] 60nine:
1. yes

2. no
[G2 Android Development] mor_1228:

if you purchase any app in gplay, you don't need to purchase it again unless you change the gplay email which you use on the device...

i guess some people simply cant see properly as i said its my first purchase so i dont know how things work. open mind and eyes before replying and if cant then dont reply .
[G2 Android Development] xdabbeb:
This sort of reply to someone that was originally helping by answering your question isn't warranted. It's not his fault the answer wasn't phrased as you desired.

In addition, sending me a pm asking the same thing after you already received an answer is unnecessary. You seem to be very concerned about what is actually a two dollar donation, so my advice would be to just use free camera app.

[G2 Android Development] Zoide_:
I'm running DV-ROM 0.2 on an AT&T D800, and version 1.3 (both normal and alt) give me bootloops after installing. The only way I can get back to a working system is to wipe everything and do a TWRP restore. Version 1.2 was working fine, though.

Edit: Nevermind. I was running the restore script prior to installing 1.3. This time I installed 1.3 (regular version) without doing a restore and it booted :) However, the camera does not work (black screen and shooting button overlapping with nav bar).

Edit 2: I tried the 1.3 alt version and it works (except for the navbar overlap issue).
[G2 Android Development] mixinluv2u:
flashed v1.3 normal silent yesterday on my D80110C (US T-Mobile), and everything seems to work! =) Thanks a ton dude you are awesome!!

took a few photos of waving arms in normal mode and the motion blur seems to have improved greatly from stock.

tried out the IA mode for the same waving arms as well, which made the photo darker as expected, but motion blur did not seem to improve further (or as much as I had hoped that it would improve).

All in all, wayyyy better than the stock camera. =D

EDIT: forgot to mention that I also tested the video recording briefly, and the "breathing" issue seems reduced as well.
[G2 Android Development] dajmanjt:
I'll see about grabbing you a logcat when I get a chance. I am running totally stock with exposed framework no modified kernel. Don't know if maybe not ever reverting to total stock camera before switching from jitsu modded camera to yours could be an issue. However I switched from jitsu to your 1.2 when it came out with no issues. Only when I tried to upgrade to the 1.3 I have this stupid media scanner pop up preventing the camera from opening. Reverting back to 1.2 fixed it. Again thanks for all you do. Your 1.2 is straight awesome sauce! Keep balling hard.

Sprint Version

Ok, well today I decided download the alt. version to give it a go because my Sprint variant phone cannot capture images with the volume down shutter.

Once I installed it, it worked.

So, the Alt. Version - Silent, give you the Sprint Variant Vol - Capture capability.
[G2 Android Development] 360Razir:
Running Malladus v1.2.2 ROM, which inherently has the thinner Nav Bar and with v1.2 I did not have the issue of the Shutter Button being hidden like I now have with v1.3. I am using Xposed, but not for anything with a Nav Bar mod.

Glad to help test....

live effects bug?

Hi all,

no one has problems with live effects function on front camera? I cant use the function, the screen become dark and show me nothing.

:confused:
[G2 Android Development] xdabbeb:
If you're rooted and want to use the advanced driver (which is what I assume you're referring to as v1.0), then you'd want to install the advanced apk (not the stock 4kUHD).

If you saw the other user's posts then I assume you also read the responses. It's not the app, it's the driver. LG's awb decision making in the G Pro2 that was used as a base for the advanced driver runs cooler than the stock G2 driver. They don't provide an api to control it to the level you would like, so the only option would be further assembly/machine analysis of the binaries. Getting the driver ported in the first place was a PITA and I don't plan on revisiting it anytime soon.

None here. Provide details/log please
[G2 Android Development] xdabbeb:
1. Of the countless ways to show appreciation for someone else's work, taking apart their app to find out what they did so you can post it as your own "discovery" is NOT on the list. I would highly recommend other means of showing appreciation in the future.

2. Actually, the code you posted IS NOT from AOSP (HINT: that's why both lines start with Lcom/lge, instead of Lcom/android). The method called isn't even from AOSP, but is part of LG's extended framework. You should also know that the name of the class is arbitrary and won't always be VideoRecorder. Then again, we both know that contributing to the community wasn't your real goal here, which leads me to...

3. As I said in the reply you quoted and as you saw when you decompiled XCam, the ability to switch this on AND off (not everyone will want it) is already in XCam LG Settings so there's nothing to "upgrade". I'm not sure if your motivation was attention, being upset because [MENTION=4344067]zemix[/MENTION] replied to your original post in a way that you didn't like, or wanting to show people how to avoid showing support in a more traditional manner (by purchasing the donation app), but it certainly doesn't appear to be a desire to contribute to the community. You may have since edited your OP to cover your tracks, but as someone had already quoted it your original intention of showing people how to "mod" xcam have been preserved. I hope you're enjoying it. Happy holidays.
[G2 Android Development] HTCZ715E:
your accusations about stealing are wrong:

1. smali-code belongs to LGCameraApp, not to XCamLG (I removed it's code after your request, should I quote your PM!?).

and it is ANDROID code incorporated in any camera apk. (LINK is given)

2. I guessed about changing constant 05 to 01 after observing not XCamLG but LGCamera (by rubberbigpepper).

&. I have not your "XCam LG Settings" app & so I can't steal.
