How does this compare to Jishnu's?

I have a question for you bender since it appears you were active on Jishnu's thread, which is now closed. How does this mod compare the Jishnu's with regard to features, stability, and camera focus speed (my BIG issue with this phone, yes I feel cheated like everyone else after buying a phone with a "great" camera, that turned out to be all lies).

I ask because I have Jishnu's 3.4 installed, and wonder if it is worth installing this over it?

as above

I'm also wondering about the same. Which mod is better? I also feel cheated by LG, the camera un the G2 is quite crap...

quick question:

i installed the mod, can i unroot the phone now and keep the mod working? or it has to stay rooted?

Second attempt to install this on my LS980.

I installed using the app and installed the player.

Now I am stuck at the LG logo boot screen after the reboot.

How do I fix this?

I managed to get adb access from the LG screen and got into recovery to do a restore.

I am assuming that this cam mod is not going to work with my LS980 running stock kk. :(

to those who think the G2 camera is crap and feel disappointed, specifically after xdabbeb's mod, I can only say this: you will never find happiness and I feel sorry for you.

AFAIK, all the sounds for shutter, focus, etc are disabled in the quiet version, you should install the normal version if you want sound.

Questions regarding BITRATE for recording in 4k.

Had a couple questions/comments related to recording bitrate for this mod and similar like Jishnu.

1) What is the current bitrate for recording video in 4k for this mod? I am guessing 16Mb or something?

I am using one of Jishnu's offering which I am guessing is based off of this same mod? And the quality is great, but I am guessing could be better as the bitrate is relatively relatively low. Is this just the developers choice to efficiently use fixed memory space on the phone?

1080P 60FPS records at a higher bitrate taking up more space per second.

2) Again the these mods are great, and the quality is awesome but I am guessing if the bitrate can be upped for 4k video specially I think results can be even better. Although very sharp there are some visible artifacts when viewed closer to the original resolution, cropped, zoomed etc.

As-is is very cool, but wondering if there are any plans to have an option to change bitrate for 4k?

With LGCamcorder (from the playstore) you can get 100Mb bitrate with 1080P @30fps with the LG G2.

3) Stock LG G2 KK also allows for connecting external memory, and was going to test LGCamera and change the recording location to the external memory device. Imagine of this mod could do that.....woulld be another bonus given no internal mini-sd.

Thanks

How would you return to the stock camera after flashing this mod? Is the only way to re-flash a nandroid?
[G2 Android Development] bender_007:
Just restore your nandroid or find your kdz, extract it, put the files in flashable zip(you don't want to manually chmod 100 fikrs i think)
[G2 Android Development] mistermidas:
100mps? Whoa that's way too high. Iirc, 1080p and 4k both record at 30mps, and the quality of both are excellent. But they both make giant files due to resolution. I actually only record at 720p 60fps and I'm totally satisfied with that quality, even when i connect it to the tv it still looks good...but 100mps bitrate is wwaayy too much imo
[G2 Android Development] PhantomBeam:
Let's say LG came out with an update that would improve the camera app. Would it then replace it with the stock camera, will this mod replace itself with stock camera?
[G2 Android Development] bender_007:
Let's say they come with the update and update the 97-100 files(they wont), then you will have stock camera. What rom are you on?
[G2 Android Development] lukester01:
just disappointed reviewers do not TEST

We only feel cheated because EVERY review states how great the camera is. I'm starting to think all reviewers are simply patting the company on the back, so they keep sending them free phones to review, so they can keep your sites traffic up, so they can make money based an overly rosy reviews that have nothing to do with actually doing a thorough honest review. I mean seriously, they take a few landscape shots in bright sunlight and then claim the camera is great. They don't even bother to test the camera on kids, or pets, or indoors without flash (and hand held).

We are VERY happy that developers see the deficiencies in these cameras, and go WAY out of their way to correct the flaws. I wish my 'donations' to LG got us as much as a donation to an XDA developer.

Thanks for the great work!
[G2 Android Development] philsfan:
Like I said, I feel bad for you. This camera takes fantastic photos. You have to remember that this is a camera on a phone. If you're looking for professional photos look into a DSLR.

I don't want to hijack the thread so I'll leave it at that. Comments regarding LG and outside reviews do nothing positive for anyone

Is anyone experiencing stutters and lags with audio also chopping when recording in 4k?

I try in the brightest conditions and it still stutters and the audio is terrible on 4k as if the phone is struggling or something. ?

Looks like my FC after taking a picture in HDR mode is back...

Actually it looks like it's primarily in low light situations. I'd say about 1 out of 10 shots in HDR mode cause the camera to force close. In low light the problem seems worse - maybe 2-3 times out of 10. D803 with stock KitKat. I'll try to capture a log... but has anyone else experienced this?

I'm very happy with media.profile.xml from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2700534 combined with Xdabbebs' mod

On 4k video bitrate is 50+ Mbps, on 1080P 90+Mbps.

Make nandroid backup, try and profit :)

Zip file isn't working for my setup, but you can always extract file from zip and set permissions.

I'm using root explorer and switch between original media.profile.xml and modified one, when needed standard bitrates.

Cheated because of the camera? The camera takes beautiful shots.

The software is not no early as good as it could have been. You'll notice this if you do flash this camera mod.

That's like saying computers are trash because of the operating system you are running.

Couldn't say what's happening to you but I also have the LS980 and I've used nearly every version of this mod. I'm on the stock KK version through flashing with LG Tools software. It's rooted with no custom recovery, so I used the apk to install. I'm currently on version 2.2.0. It works so well I haven't found the need to update again as of yet.
[G2 Android Development] guvno:
@ Lawlrus

amazing how many posts you get except the one you really want...

As asked in my original post, I wanted to know which mod people prefer, people who have tried both Jishnus and Xdabbebs might have valuable input here.

Regarding me feeling cheated by the camera performance on the G2, that is my own opinion and I stand by it. I have had a Samsung Galaxy S2, S3 and S4 phone before I switched to the LG G2 and in my opinion, the S3 and S4 both took better pictures and I have shots from all phones to support this.

Sure, in broad daylight the G2 takes wonderful pictures, but as soon as the light conditions darkens the auto focus on the G2 takes an aaage, so if you want to take a picture of your toddler using the G2, by the time the picture is actually taken, he's off to college. Again that is my opinion but obviously I'm not the only one feeling that the camera on the G2 is performing poorly.

Thankfully Jishnus and Xdabbebs mods have improved the cameras performance and my thanks go out to them both, I am however still wondering if someone have had a chance to try them both and can offer some opinions.

I used to be on stock KK using Jishnus mod, then I briefly tested Xdabbebs but not long enough to form an opinion. I've now gone back to stock JB and I will re-install Xdabbebs mod I think to try it further...
[G2 Android Development] SPBoss:
Well i tried jishnus and couldn't tell the difference. Imo xdabebs version is much better.

I also owned the s2, s3 and s4. You are crazy to think its anywhere near as good as the G2 camera. Yes the s4 has a fast shutter but the amount of noise in low light pictures is terrible.

It still can't do this

J compared to X

I installed Jishnu's and used it for a day. Switched to Xdabbebs because it is still being supported, I notice that Xdabbebs comes with a video player. Also Jishnu's would always default to NORMAL mode, where Xdabbeb's seems to remember the mode after exiting, which is very helpful since Intelligent Auto is where the really fast focus is.
[G2 Android Development] guvno:
Thanks Lukster,

that is useful info! And yes, I suppose Xdabbebs mod is perhaps the one to go for as it is still supported.

I thought I should test this out since I have a D803 also. Sure enough, it happened to me too. I just took 3 shots in HDR mode and had a FC trying to take the 3rd shot. This was in low light conditions, mainly because it's night here :)

*Update* The problem seems random (at least on my phone), as I did another test after my initial post and after 7-8 shots there was no FC. Hmmm, interesting.

hi guys can i install the apk of this mod on any other rom? will it work? i installed actually but the slow motion camera isnt slow motion i mean it is but its not as slow as i watched in youtube of lg g2 slo mo sample , also in slowmotion video there's very less light while in higher resolution things are fyn ,, please help me to get the pure wxperience of this mod , thanks , im on vdt 17 superlite rom which has allready 4k n slow mo video + i flashed this mod but slow motion is not really slow as i have seen in samples and its very dark
[G2 Android Development] mistermidas:
I recently tried to recreate this issue on my phone since ive seen multiple people post about it now. I took 9 hdr full res shots...then on the 10th got a fc. Then i took another 11, and on the 12th...fc. Honestly i don't even mind because of 2 reasons. 1, I NEVER take over 10pics in a row that fast anyway, and 2...the only mode i ever even use is intelligent auto. And i only use it at 10mp resolution lol. But, for the sake of argument i can confirm fc on hdr mode as well.

[G2 Android Development] ForceUser:
hey you 2

I'm 99% sure it's xdabbeb's camera v2.2.0 - for stock G2 KK ROMs that I'm running, still have it in the downloads.

I also downloaded the 3.1 but before I installed I red that there were issues so I decided not to change the running system.

One User in youtube just reminded me of an audio drop bug, but I love the image quality ^^

Im running 4.4.2 stock (802 EU Version)

I just tried to upload the video on uploaded, but they said Im trying to upload an illegal file wtf :eek:

Edit: now it worked with the uplaod

btw the focus issue is there at least one time...look closely. But i guess there's just no better solution now, if the algorythm thinks "oh something moved in the picture" it starts checking the focus.

Flashed the camera mod just fine, I get all the new options. Tried recording some 120FPS and playback was not in slow-mo, just high framerate. Went back and flashed the videoplayer app, but still having the same problem. Tried reflashing the videoplayer a couple times, TWRP says it was successful each time.

Model is LS980 (Sprint) with 4.4.2 stock rooted ROM.
[G2 Android Development] lukester01:
slow mo

I had the same issue. But thanks to posters, discovered that hitting menu while the video is playing, allows you to change the playback speed. So be fast with the menu button, because your video will be over before you get the playback slowed otherwise. The player doesn't seem to realized that the file should be played slow mo.

I gave BSPLAYER a try. And it automatically plays the slow mo files, slow mo. Yay!
[G2 Android Development] abdel12345:
I love this mod. All my friends are obsessed with the slow motion. Out looks awesome doing a bicycle kick in slow motion or juggling a soccer ball.

Now i know I've asked this but how to save them so they stay in slow motion. Last time someone told me an app but it didn't actually save. For now i got a work around by screen recording the video in slow motion and then editing the beginning and end but that takes too much time.

Either way it's awesome thanks a lot. I can't wait to see what else it brings. And hopefully lg will update the g2 to look like the g3 software and bring fresher ui to the camera. I just hope they don't leave the g2 in the dust when the g3 comes out

One question. Is there a way to get the front camera to save pictures like they look in the view finder instead of mirroring them. I always thinks selfies look good but after the picture is saved and mirrored i look stupid. Thanks (i know that its normal for them to be mirrored I'm just wondering if there's a way to change it (

Llooollllll, I can tell you obviously aren't trying to make any friends here. And probably not trying to get a decent answer either with that attitude.

Firstly, ask heatshiver, the OP of that thread. I believe his XML file has jishnu mod in mind only.

Second, try it and see. After a nandroid of course.

Lastly, see this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2700534 where Sinate states it is for any camera mod that supports 4k and or 120fps, the XML will ramp up the bitrate to between 50 to 100. It was shared above about ten posts ago.

[MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] ... 1. Is there any info on what the bitrate settings for this mod is? 2. In your opinion, is the argued improvement in detail significant enough to justify the enormous file sizes it produces?

Try 'androvid pro' or 'vivaVdeo'. Viva has a cleaner interface. First, enter pro edit mode, then trim the video or just confirm entire video, press OK. Then under 'clip edit', choose the 'speedo' dial icon and slow it down. The rest is easy.
