Hello,

Just bought an unlocked LG G2 D800 (AT&T). It has stock andriod 4.4.2. Since I am unrooted, I downloaded and installed from option #1 "XCam LG - for stock/unrooted G2"

NOW: How can I tell if my xcam install was successful? Any visual difference in the app?

I can't tell any difference compared to was before install so I am wondering. The picture quality didn't seem noticeably different either. (I just uninstalled)
[G2 Android Development] senfgurke:
The xcam app should be visible, as an extra app. That's how it was with my g3.

I have one question, what is audio zoom? I searched the thread but didn't find anything helpful.
[G2 Android Development] masteryx:
Oh, audio zoom is not covered in this thread because it's not an XCam feature, it's an LG feature (meaning original camera has it too). Basically, because the G2 has stereo microphones, it's able to "focus" to a certain area (the one you zoom into) and enhance the audio level coming from that direction.
[G2 Android Development] senfgurke:
Oh ok, thanks.

How to use xcam with stock lollipop?

I have now installed the stock apk with 4k video Mode it seems that everything worked fine but when I report at 4k the videos looks pixelized.
[G2 Android Development] Tinchoska:
Don't worry when you play it on a 4k TV it's gone
[G2 Android Development] kouzelnik3:
Did someone repair that problem, when you are recording 120 fps video and it is pixelated? I don't want read all those 500 pages. I got no XCam settings app. And what is the problem, when I am using 4K video, but throughout is is lagging (and it is a little bit pixelated as wellú. How can I solve that problem? :)
[G2 Android Development] abdel12345:
Literally look one post up. Its because it needs a 4k screen to watch 4k video or else it'll look like that.
[G2 Android Development] kouzelnik3:
Ah... I see it now, sorry. :D

And will it solve 120fps pixelating too?
[G2 Android Development] abdel12345:
Not sure about the 120 fps thing. The op has in faq that it's gonna be dark but I don't see anything about pixelation. I don't have that issue though so not sure. What version are you using and what rom are you on and do you have drivers or no?
[G2 Android Development] Jonous:
Everyone has it you just didn't take a closer look on your recorded video quality. It is an LG issue that i think is not going to be solved. SloMo videos also looked that way on my previous Samsung device. Maybe even an Android restriction?
[G2 Android Development] balahu:
On lolipop with xcam settings, which version is good? (normal or adanced apk?)
[G2 Android Development] senfgurke:
Had the same with my HTC, did not yet look at the video on a PC, gonna try it.

Also pixelated on pc. So it's basically worthless.

But hey, rest works fine.
[G2 Android Development] kouzelnik3:
I downloaded that third link, with drivers and I got just stock LG 4.4.2. rom with root and twrp recovery, so I got everything right I think. And if it's LG's problem, it is sad to read that. In fact, there is no solution?
[G2 Android Development] masteryx:
Nope, no solution, ever. It bothered me too and I searched more info. It seems that the camera hardware is simply not able to shoot 120 fps at 720p. It can, however, do it at 360p, which is then enlarged 2x and saved. Why not kept at 360p? I have no idea.
[G2 Android Development] kouzelnik3:
Ok, I must accept that hwardware settings :D

When I am recording via phone, I am using FHD 60 fps instead, it's also good for me.

And thanks everyone for the help and clarification of the situation. ;)
[G2 Android Development] abdel12345:
I haven't noticed any problems really when playing it in slow motion. I'll try one today and see how it looks maybe like you said I wasn't paying enough attention to it.

Kindly camera/bimary driver for lolipop g pro 2
[G2 Android Development] icedzed:
So I've flashed the advanced driver and the player on my stock 4.4.2 and now I can't film anymore with the slow motion, every video I made in slow motion are in normal speed, how can I solve it?
[G2 Android Development] lukelvlb:
When you're recording in 120 fps every movie is in slowmo. In player you have to change speed to slower.
[G2 Android Development] icedzed:
No, it's always worked without changing any option. It worked until I flashed the advanced driver, how can I uninstall it?
[G2 Android Development] icedzed:
Look, this is the info of a video recorded in slow motion, I've installed the adv camera, I've tried also with the other apk but nothing, also with the 612, download from the settings app
[G2 Android Development] T.E.C.H.N.O:
Is there any possibility to enable Slowmotion and 4K recording on 5.0.2 stock?

I tried flashing modified media_profiles.xml but it doesn't worked.

Any other way?
[G2 Android Development] abdel12345:
Use xcam v6.0.0 also he explained how to do it with stock camera in some post
[G2 Android Development] anbinhv:
Where can I find the 6.1.2 link? Thanks!
[G2 Android Development] minhaz.sourav:
You have to join Google+ community of Xcam Settings to test beta. You have to register for beta testing from there (You will find pinned post in G+ community)

Then You will able to install Xcam LG settings 1.5.2 which will redirect you to download Xcam 6.1.2.

Hit Thanks if u are helped.

Can someone provide the official g pro 2 lollipop kdz? I'll try to make the zip myself

Sent from my LG-D802
[G2 Android Development] xdabbeb:
If it were as simple as putting the same files in a zip it would've been done already. To be clear, I'm not authorizing anyone to simply "copy" what I did anyway. Just be patient. Also, I'm not sure if there is any benefit to be had from that device in the first place.
[G2 Android Development] Cienight:
My apologies.

I didn't mean in any way to disrespect you or your work.
[G2 Android Development] xdabbeb:
np

If it's actually any better, I'll make it work, but from talking with people that have the GPro2, it seems their L driver has all the same issues. At least the stock G2 L implementation is better than the original stock KK/JB. The source of many problems seems to be how they've implemented a cam1 wrapper on a legacy cam2 base.
[G2 Android Development] abdel12345:
Yes, v6+ work on lollipop

After several days of use on a stock kitkat lgg2 I can say for sure that ois is not working properly on xcam or at least is less efficient that stock camera
[G2 Android Development] Kemby13:
I have v6 working like a charm on my G2 with stock Lollipop (v30a). There is only one problem with slow-mo 120fps videos, they are too dark.

Much more than on KK, stock or Cloudy which i used for a long time... Is there anything that can be done to improve that?

Thanks!
[G2 Android Development] 4r44444:
Any ideas how to scale the App to 380 DPI on LG Lollipop? (Xposed not working for appsettings, may any alternative way to scale?)
[G2 Android Development] abdel12345:
I'm not an expert on these things but ois is hardware so it shouldn't matter what camera software your using for it. In pretty sure it should be the same with whatver app your using.
[G2 Android Development] Co5min:

- In video live effects crashes the thing, need to clear app data to even swich to video mode without fc

- 120p video is waaay too dark. Not only the shorter exposition time, it have some problem.

Sorry for my bad english

[G2 Android Development] xdabbeb:
It's being worked on, and this will be my only response. If people continue asking the same things without reading, please direct them to this post or report their post to the moderators.

1) As stated clearly in the Settings app Description on the play store, raw isn't working due to changes LG made to the G2 and GPro2 L camera drivers. This is effecting everyone. I've already spent days looking for a way around their changes, and will continue to do so, but I obviously can't make any promises on software that I don't control. If you feel the need to rant/blame, talk to LG. As they didn't ever intend for you to have any of these features, however, don't expect them to care.

2) LG also removed support for Live Effect video from L. Again, if you feel the need to complain, direct your frustration at them.

3) The 120fps video (that LG never intended you to have) is dark just like it was on stock G2 KK. This is all explained in the OP FAQ. While this would be one of two benefits (the other being a properly functioning ChromaFlash) of a ported GPro2 driver since it bumps the iso much higher in 120fps mode, it would also bring with it the change to AWB (blue shift) that many objected to and remove the saturation adjustment.

4) 4kUHD won't work properly on a stock G2 L firmware for the same reason it didn't work on stock G2 KK. LG didn't (once again) intend for you to have it so they omitted the profile. The solution for that is just as easy as it was before (updated media_profile.xml). I have put a L-compatible version of that in the OP.
[G2 Android Development] minhaz.sourav:
You can try it.

But I think there's no Advanced driver built for lollipop.

And RAW isn't working in Lollipop.

OTHERS WILL WORK FINE. :) Good Luck.

Flash zip without Custom Recovery!?

I'm currently using the Unrooted version on my Rooted G2.

Is there any workaround to Flash the ~4k.zip WITHOUT custom recovery? Like i rooted my G2 via adb sideload but tried the same with your zip and it gave a verification error :/

Please if there is any workaround to get the 4K video recording Without flashing the zip via custom recovery then do share it.

I appreciate your work and effort that you put in G2 :)

PS: I'm using a D802T [Aussie variant] and its impossible for me to install a custom recovery whilst on KK 4.4.2.

Any workaround to flash the zip via adb sideload or whtver is highly appreciated!
[G2 Android Development] minhaz.sourav:
Install recovery via AUTOREC from here.

Then flash what you want.

I'm sorry but YOU bricked your device.

D802 T isn't d802 international. Reading is a good excercise
[G2 Android Development] minhaz.sourav:
Your device isn't International Variant.

Search on your own and learn what to do.

Google can give you all the knowledges. And also research about the variants of G2.
[G2 Android Development] xNotta:
Do I need to flash the modified drivers or does the xcam app already install them?

Also, my previous rom had this mod included and my video would freeze while recording. It would keep a still image in the video for 20-30 sec while the video timer kept going and recording then return to normal.

I want reliability and that rom's incident has me worried to install the mod.

I believe it was the rom, but thought I'd ask before I get into a situation where I need the camcorder and it bugs up again.

Was this a bug with the rom/dev or have others had similar issues with their ls980?

Yes i Bricked my D802 International Variant after flashing Autorec.

Went to the repair shop and he replaced it with a D802T.

Yes, this message is sent from my D802T :p

Well Xcam really do wonders. Focus time is faster and images are less blurred than the lame stock camera :good:

I guess i'll give D802T custom recovery a swing during the summer break :)

---------- Post added at 06:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:37 PM ----------

Actually i bricked the international Variant with Autorec, may be bad flash or my D802 was refurbished that i guess wat the case was, the shopkeeper replaced it with a D802T and after spending serious hours on custom recovery, it dawned on me that Aussie variant of the D802 uses some different Kernel that LG haven't put public. I guess that's the reason Autorec never works with the D802T.

I'll again do some research during the spring break and hopefully will flash Cloudy G2 Rom om my device [which i guess comes bundled with xcam and other goodies] :)
[G2 Android Development] bender_007:
It must be refurbished then.

I've understood it was d802T prior to this, sorry.

But those refurbished phones suck ass...I mean wtf, can't they put single variant parts inside :/

Offtopic
[G2 Android Development] ghayyurious:
Yeah, i asked the shopkeeper to be honest with me about refurbished **** and he gave his word on it.

When i brought back the bricked phone to his shop,his face was really fu**** :p

I blamed him for giving the refurb phone but he charged me for even bricking a refurb set :confused:

Well, what matters is now i have original D802T.

I'm not sure I understand your question. Do you mean that you installed the beta and it did a one-time reset of your preferences? If so, that's listed as item #1 in that version's change log.

What good would the camera app be without full camera 2 api driver support?

That happens in certain modes (sports) and when you change the minimum shutter speed beyond a certain point. The driver doesn't report iso correctly. Nothing to be done.
