Here's my G2 vs Sony Z2 4k comparison.

Been over at the Z2 side of the forums, and it's sadly full of blind fanboys. This video should enlighten people to the 4k camera's in comparison.

I have no bias, just want the best video quality out there, hence why I compared it with a S5 previous to that.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Itr7VWBXu2k
[G2 Android Development] fuxmen:
S5 can kiss Our G2 feets. Z2 have better collors(for me) but this shaking...And when I pause I SEE... A loooot more details in G2, good bye Z2 :P Dont know how metal You need to be to buy S5 or Z2...(2-3x more money then G2 and almost the same hardware... worst camera).

Which one is closer to reality in Your opinion(i haven't been there :) )

Can You upload it somewhere without Youtube? Raw file from phone?

Thx for VIDEO!!!
[G2 Android Development] ziociccio:
better G2 for me,except for colors,that are better on z2.
[G2 Android Development] woof123:
The saphire lens are ruining G2 cam...the stupid purple tint they produse everytime you face the sun,so annoying...
[G2 Android Development] g.paganini:
One question please. What's the "science" behind the display drop fps when switching from camcorder to photo mode? To be more precise why is the display a little bit choppy when in photo mode and lower light conditions?
[G2 Android Development] fuxmen:
why the f.. there are Sapphire lens? instead of transparent? is it normal in photographic ?
[G2 Android Development] oc_masta:
Didn't know the G2 had a sapphire lens cover.

Sapphire's supposed to be better for the outer lens because it's harder to scratch. Apple has been using sapphire on the front of their lenses for a long time.
[G2 Android Development] 60nine:
rule of photography - don't take photos when facing a direct sunlight/light source... if you do - lower down the iso and use the flash to pop up the subject and keep the sky/background in normal exposure...

and if you're taking the shots of the sunrise/sunset (facing the sun) - that purple tint could only add a nice filter effect to enhance the color ;)

btw a question - is this device capable of taking RAW photos?
[G2 Android Development] r4Rok:
I think G2 is way better, except colors. The colors are more natural in Z2 recording, comparing to G2's dull.

If S5 can, will it's not even from miles away touch the feets of G2. Gone are the days of corrupt Samsung.
[G2 Android Development] iall5tar:
Damn! if it would be...would be LEGENDARY!!!
[G2 Android Development] anonymousss:
Somehow i think v3 is slower than v.1.5 and focus is better on v1.5

I have a question on installing the newer version of the app.

I have 3.0 version of app on my phone. I downloaded 3.1 and installed without uninstalling 3.0. Then when I tried creating backup I thought it will create a backup of 3.0, well backup wasn't successful. I thought I should restore the original camera so I fired up the 3.0 app, it did it's thing but after the power cycle I have no camera app.

What is the correct process of upgrading from 3.0 to 3.1? If I uninstall 3.0 what would happen to the original backup? I did create a backup but when I tried to restore it with 3.0 it didn't work...
[G2 Android Development] subhani:
I tried to return to version 2.2 from version 3.1 via benders app for 2.2 but now I too can't find the camera app. What can I do? Just flash the 2.2zip from OP?

Just before anyone asks, I prefer the video capabilities of 3.1 esp 120fps but I found that photos are not as fast in shutter press response as in version 2.2. But the MAIN reason is that 2.2 was flawlessly stable. Never froze or FCd. Version 3.1 is a little bit quirky if I'm honest.

All in all, I couldn't be more pleased with what xdabbeb has done with the camera. Also, great work from bender too.

Edit: flashing the 2.2 zip worked fine.
[G2 Android Development] rocky3:
I managed to get the gallery app back because I had backed it up in Titanium backup but I have no idea what made it disappear.

Can i flash 2.2.1 version to CloudyPro2 rom?
[G2 Android Development] anonymousss:
Sorry guys i take it backk 3.1 is perfectly fine dont know about 2.2 but 3.1 is definitely better than any of the earlier versions in this mod 1.5 ect...

My main problem was that selfies taken with the back camera somehow the picture always turned too brighttt because of the flashh

But i must say in 3.1 i never faced such a problem but the shutter speed is definitely slower in 3.1

[G2 Android Development] slind:
Let me first start with:

thanks for this awesome mod!

Situation: I am running latest 4.4.2 Stock (obviously rooted) with TWRP 2.7.0.0.

After flashing the 3.1 camera mod version, things went pretty well, I was really pleased. But after taking 3-4 pics in 13MP HDR mode, the app either fc's or turns black for a few seconds. After that, I can't take any more snaps.

What I did: reset the app, wiped cache / dalvik, fixed permissions, re-installed etc. I'm using the .zip variant.

Is this HDR problem a known issue or am I doing something wrong here?
[G2 Android Development] ziociccio:
i have the same problem with ia mode :confused:

---------- Post added at 12:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:18 PM ----------

there is a 2.2.1 version for g pro 2 ported rom?
[G2 Android Development] bender_007:
2.2.1

IF you're on 3.1 you have to restore(if you've got the backup) before installing 2.2.x
[G2 Android Development] ziociccio:
ok...

but...i now have cloudypro2 rom,that has xdabbeb mod 3.3.x inside.

how can i back to 2.2.1?
[G2 Android Development] bender_007:
Just try installing 2.2.1 oe 2.2.0. It's a prog2 ported rom with proper libs.
[G2 Android Development] ziociccio:
thanks,i'm trying now...
[G2 Android Development] slind:
Reproduced the issue on two different phones now. HDR mode in full resolution fc's the 3.1 camera app after 2-10 shots. I suppose I can't be the only one this is happening to? :confused:

Will try to logcat tomorrow.

[MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] Please fix the HDR performance in low light as it produces more noise than normal mode. In ample light, HDR is great however
[G2 Android Development] deepac:
I noticed that after installing version 3.0.1 of this mod on my D801 with Pro 2 Rom that the 120 FPS video mode is darker than usual. This was not the case before on the 3.00. I think it would be better if you split each download file for each appropriate ROM vs bunching them up like version 3.0.1.
[G2 Android Development] Prerevision:
installed mod on stock rom (No PORT) and has no option to slow video down -_-
[G2 Android Development] XxZombiePikachu:
with 3.1.0 the video mod is now a separate flashable zip
[G2 Android Development] Prerevision:
and whats difference between Quiet and other version?
[G2 Android Development] XxZombiePikachu:
well if you read the op:

*For each version there is a quiet variant which mutes the video recording start/stop and focus lock sounds. It should be flashed after the main mod as it only contains the apk.

---------- Post added at 04:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:51 PM ----------

Same here. Just took 20 shots HDR fullres & everything OK, no FC

D802 - Cloudystock 2.1
[G2 Android Development] slind:
Thanks for testing to both of you. I have now tested this on two international devices with the latest KK Baseband and all Cloudy Versions as well as LG rooted Stock. Everything works fine, but HDR mode will kill the app after several shots in a row. And logcat shows exactly - nothing - .

The camera app is not force closing every time, often it just hangs for a few secs, goes black and comes back online. It then shows the viewfinder and everything looks ok, but you can't hit the shutter button and the options menu is missing. This is extremely weird, never encountered such an problem after complete clean installs.
[G2 Android Development] Visual Focus:
Hey guys,

since my last reboot I have lost the focus sound,I mean that kind of "click" sound which indicates that the lens have focused.

All the rest like the shutter sound and video recording sound work good.

I installed through recovery the original camera files and after that the mod but still the same.

Any ideas ?
[G2 Android Development] DerSpatz:
Maybe the next update could come in two versions: One with the newer color settings as in 3.x and one with the older color settings as in 2.2...
[G2 Android Development] xI mEzMeRiZe Ix:
There were color changes?

Sent from my LG G2
[G2 Android Development] subhani:
Okay so I'm back on v3.1 after giving 2.2 another go. Indeed, 2.2 gave me much faster shots and snaps in normal mode in indoor lighting as compared to v3.x.

2.2. is also way more stable (HDR and UHD sometimes a bit quirky for me, as mentioned by others).

I believe the picture quality is comparable between the two versions. I just realised how much I missed superior video recording on v3.x as well as magic focus. For those reasons I am rocking v3 again.

Amazing work devs. Nuff respec...
[G2 Android Development] oc_masta:
This is a feature request:

Can we mod the tracking zoom mode in 4k recording... to remove the zoomed in preview window only?

The reason I say that is, because that will essentially provide manual autofocus/touch to focus under 4k. The only feature setting it apart from the Samsung 4k camera.

They have the code put in place under that mode, to focus on the area selected, but for it to display the stupid zoomed in preview window. Remove the preview window and voila. Hopefully its as easy as just remove the code that displays the preview window.

Edit: it will also be tracking focus....which no other phone can do. Only the newest Canon 70d DSLR can track focus like that. AMAZING to have if we can pull it off.

Hi... I wanna use xdabbeb's camera mod... Is there any downside to it..? And if i dont like it how do i revert back..?
[G2 Android Development] Srkineo:
ah right, misinterpretation from my end. In my head, stock = AOSP:)

Thanks for the info though.
[G2 Android Development] subhani:
A lot of people think stock means stock android. In this case, stock refers to what the G2 came with out of the box. Or other LG based ROMs.
[G2 Android Development] bender_007:
I suggest you to use the apk version to backup.

Then use the installer to install.

So you are mostly safe. (I'll make the apk version also creates flashable zip of backup so it will be better for most people)

Hi.. Just to confirm if i got it right i should

1. Make makeup using apk

2. Install using recovery

Thanks
[G2 Android Development] bender_007:
Yap. Currently flashable zip doesn't make a backup(complete).
[G2 Android Development] xdabbeb:
That will work, but if you have recovery, why not just make a nandroid of your system partition? That way you have a safe/simple backup/restore option.
[G2 Android Development] nick_862003:
Thanks xdababb... But backup of complete system takes way more space than just backing up an app... That's y i was asking for the alternative...
[G2 Android Development] Alexander1988:
Is anyone having issues with camera FC'ing ? After I take a photo (predominantly using Dynamic HDR) 30% of the times it FC's and does not saves the photo taken. I didn't see anyone complaining about this problem so I'm guessing it's just my case. I installed the recovery zips not the .apk installer.
[G2 Android Development] xdabbeb:
Well, that was kind of my point :) There's a lot more to backup here than just an app (almost 100 files), but if space is that much of an issue then bender's installer can certainly do so. If you have to restore, you'll either have to put the files in place manually or you could just use my zip and replace the files inside it with the backed up versions. Just be careful. Doing it this way vs full nandroid opens you up to a lot of potential mistakes.
[G2 Android Development] subhani:
No others have reported this too including me. It's awesome in any case. I'm sure xdabbeb will do something in his own time.

Take [MENTION=2376110]dorimanx[/MENTION] for example, he is one of the most dedicated developers I've ever seen. So the question here is not wether [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] is in the mood for realising an update but if he has the time to do so.

Backup function

Quick question on the backup functionality. v3.1.0 created on sdcard0 like 5 times the same librairies backup:

- /system.zip (with LGCameraApp.apk and librairies)

- /system/* (with LGCameraApp.apk and librairies)

- /bla/sytem/* (with LGCameraApp.apk and librairies)

- /lgvideos.apk

- /bck/system.zip (with LGCameraApp.apk and librairies)

Which ones are actually used in case of restore and which ones can be deleted?

Thanks.
[G2 Android Development] bender_007:
/bck/system.zip

+ leave the /sdcard/system/priv-app/*
[G2 Android Development] xdabbeb:
Thanks, [MENTION=4493624]SupaSwag[/MENTION] It's nice that at least some people get that this isn't my job.

Furthermore, if a user is committed to reading/searching they would see that I already addressed this. If/when I figure out what's causing it, I'll fix it. It's random, doesn't effect everyone, and for all the complaining I've received ZERO logcats. It's a two-way street.

Note for all: If you aren't getting a personal/immediate reply to your question (which is a ridiculous request to begin with), maybe you should check if I or someone else already answered the question before. I'm not the type to be hard on someone for asking, but at the same time I really don't understand people feeling they are entitled to a personal reponse and complaining when they don't. It isn't personal and it isn't all about you.
[G2 Android Development] Hid3rs:
I personally don't care too much about the random HDR crash - you most probably take HDR pics of still objects, so you won't really miss any moments just because you have to reopen the cam - but here's a logcat I've just cought.

(opened CatLog > opened camera > took an HDR picture > FC > stopped CatLog)

Thanks, dude. Unfortunately it doesn't show me anything more than the one I was able to get. I'll let you know if I find something.

I hadn't seen/heard of this either. Have you by chance installed any sound or mixer path mods? Custom kernel? Can other apps record sound?

If anyone has access to an early system dump/kdz I can certainly look into it, but if the rumors of it using an imx214 sensor are true it might be difficult to do a full port like I did for the G Pro 2.
