I think you never had the S3, particularly the Korean E210k version. Not the Snapdragon version. You are making so much of a big deal with the OIS and tell you the truth, it does not do its job right. Not much of a difference that is why, Apple, Samsung, and even Sony is not using it! ever used an OStabilized Cybershot? Like the RX100?

I could send you pictures of both and everyone would agree that the 2 year old camera of the S3 wins as long as there is enough light. The only thing where G2 excels is with digital noise. Best Ive seen so far in handling noise.

Anyways, I am still satisfied with the G2's Sony made camera. Better than the two S4 variant I used. But the S3 trumps both of them in terms of image quality (As long as there is enough light and the LED flash on it is also bigger and better). I don't know, maybe Korean S3's are using a Samsung made sensor and maybe because that Fujitsu ISP is doing a hell of a job during image processing.

Autofocus on the S3 is way way faster than G2 and S4 no matter what the lighting condition is! It takes more detailed Macro and video autofocus never fails.

I am not a developer nor a programmer. I am just someone who loves taking pictures on my phone. I hope this will push the developer on this thread forward in making this already wonderful MOD much better for all G2 users.

Good Luck!
[G2 Android Development] shriom_manerker:
subject blur is the only issue i had till now cus of the slow shutter speeds ! and the focusing speed at night sucks on the stock one ! but is highly improved in this mod ( use IA mode with flash enabled n click a pic) youll see what im talking about ! besides that idf you really want to compare it with the s3, go to a slightly bad light conditions, turn OFF THE FLASH ON BOTH, and click a pic ! see how good your s3 is now :p , besides im very happy with the g2's focus specially on macro !

check out my macro shots on instagram and tel how they are

I can't believe that you are already satisfied with those. I do not know how to post pictures here in XDA but check this out. See for yourself how good this camera is. And they all came from S3. All of which were shot on normal settings. Under different lighting condition. If the developer of this MOD can alter the camera algorithm of the G2, I bet it will perform better because on paper, it packs a more capable sensor. I am not sure though if S800's ISP is as good as that one used on the Exynos based S3.

These are the second batch of pictures I once took on the S3. I hope our G2 can be this good.

How exactly can we do this on kitkat if we lost root when we updated? Or can this be done with a un rooted phone?
[G2 Android Development] SPBoss:
This is the LG G2 thread so stop talking about the ancient s3. Thanks
[G2 Android Development] ambetdelarosa:
I know before I even posted those. Thanks and you don't have to tell me. My purpose is to help the developer to push the limits of the camera of the G2 as it really sucks in terms of shutter speed, the viewfinder lags, and the occasional focusing issue. You guys are all proud how good the camera of the LG G2 is, but it was beaten by a 2 year old phone.

[G2 Android Development] ambetdelarosa:
This may sound silly but is it possible for the owner of the thread to check the software algorithm used on the S3? and somehow atleast use the same configuration with the G2? I mean, come on. He managed to change almost every part of the camera software, even enabling features that LG did not?

Can you like make the shutter speed much faster than what it is right now? or the S800's ISP cannot do it?a

This is my test of the 120 FPS camera the best mod

https://youtu.be/ExtTaMi6jHI
[G2 Android Development] ChrisM75:
No offence, but I could pull some amasing pictures taken with my laptops webcam as 'proof' the camera was better, when they were just lucky shots. What matters is consistency. My S3 took pictures nothing like as good as my G2.
[G2 Android Development] Rippley05:
Unfortunately...I posted a thread in Q&A on the camera issues on the G2. I posted comparison pix from my Note 3...which by far and away crush anything the G2 can do.

It's incredibly unfortunate because I LOVE this phone, but the camera is so poor, you have to have perfect lighting to capture decent pictures...even then, it takes several times before getting it right. I don't see anyone talking about these issues being fixed on the Kit Kat update either....so I'm heading to Verizon to exchange it..for something that I don't know yet.
[G2 Android Development] AndroidInsanity:
It's not poor AT ALL, it's just not as good as note 3 camera. Doesn't mean it's a bad camera :)

But I am confused why so many critic reviews so the camera is one of the best.

OP updated with [MENTION=3279781]bender_007[/MENTION]'s fix for the installer. Thanks!

Please keep on topic. Debating which phone takes the best photos doesn't help the mod and clutters the thread. There will always be plenty of opinions on either side, but they don't belong here.
[G2 Android Development] Substantial88:
I'd Like To Say 1st Great Job. I Am Curious To See How This Mod Works On 4.4 But Due To How 4.4 Performs I've Went Back To 4.2 Before I Found This Mod. I Can Agree That The G2 Camera Is Not As Pleasing To Me As My Previous Phone The S3 Was, But That's Only Because Of The Shutter Speed. Taking Photos Of My Daughter Is A Pain Because She Moves A Lot. But As For Still Photos Of None Moving Objects Or People, It Works Fine. I've Noticed The Big Difference In Video & Love It Hope You Can Do More With This Before I Upgrade.

Great Job Again!!!

Hi xdabbeb,

I'm running the 1.6.1 MOD on stock 802 10b.

This weekend i took a couple of videos outside in bright sunshine on the 1080p@60fps setting. They both came out at 30fps though when i viewed them back on my PC. I wonder if you or anyone else could check whether they're maxing out 60fps in good lighting conditions?

Thanks,
[G2 Android Development] Rdmkr:
I've noticed that the intelligent auto mode has a substantial delay between clicking the capture button and taking the photo, which to a large extent defeats the purpose of having such an otherwise highly responsive capture mode. Is this because it has to apply an "intelligent" detection mode like the name implies? I don't feel good about it. Is it possible to get an equivalent of xdabbeb Intelligent Auto mode without the "intelligence"?
[G2 Android Development] SPBoss:
If u want faster shutter use normal mode. I think that it is faster
[G2 Android Development] raghavan_nvr:
I noticed that the IA mode is less less sharp than the normal mode...

This can be seen even before taking the photo ... if I do a full zoom on subject, the details that are visible in 'Normal' mode are

much much better than in 'Intelligent' mode !!!

This defeats the purpose of the existence of intelligent mode !!

In my case, is the opposite! IA is very very sharper and normal mode take soft pics...

Both mode would be sharper.

When I click install, it shows:

'build.prop is fixed, looks like someone was here. Please reboot.'

After I reboot and try again, the same thing happened.

What's wrong?
[G2 Android Development] Rdmkr:
for me the sharpness is usually better after taking the picture in IA than before (on the viewfinder). the picture is also a lot less dark. this makes me think that Intelligent Auto negates and cancels a lot of what we like about the fast and responsive viewfinder (although it also cancels its downsides).

could be completely wrong but this is what it looks like to me...
[G2 Android Development] jeswinjv:

Yes, I've used this mod since it's beginning on the ls980. 1.6.1 is the current version. Make sure to flash the backup files zip first in order to save your stock files.
[G2 Android Development] xdabbeb:
OP updated with a new version. I've been working with [MENTION=270378]Cloudyfa[/MENTION] to get this mod working with ART and we've gotten it there. Big thanks to him for all of his help!

I know this has been discussed in the past, but here it is again: IA mode is doing exactly what the name suggests...making many choices (scene, white balance, iso, etc) all on its own. This includes time-consuming post-proc like dropping into night mode, which as I've mentioned is taking multiple shots and combining them. Combining multiple frames is what every oem is doing these days (esp those using QCom SoC). They love it. I don't. Unfortunately much of that logic and decision-making isn't controllable by me. It gets even stranger when you enable the flash in IA. Sometimes IA does a good job and sometimes it doesn't, but I generally prefer Normal mode and have found that it is more capable. LG actually had much of that same nonsense going on with Normal mode in low-light situations as well, but I was able to bypass it in this mod.

The stock G2 KK 120fps support sticks to a much lower iso so it is darker and needs more light.

That's odd. I haven't heard that before, but if you could get me a logcat of a video taken in bright light maybe I could figure out what's going on.

If you're running a G Pro 2 based rom then you'll want the G Pro 2 mod. That said, I've been working with Cloudyfa on a version for his next release so you can just wait for that as well.
[G2 Android Development] raghavan_nvr:
I have a Cloudyfa g pro2 rom. So after he releases his v1.1, I don't have to flash again your mod?

Also, is the shutter speed improved in normal mode or will it be for next version?

One Q- does ART bring any advantages to the camera part?
[G2 Android Development] xdabbeb:
1) They are very similar, though he requested at least one small change. He will announce it when he's ready.

2) Thank you for reminding me about the Normal shutter mode! I keep forgetting that that specific change I made in the JB version isn't playing nice in KK as I don't have KK myself yet. I did try something else, so if you could try out the 2.2.1 version and let me know if Normal is limited to a min of 1/10 it would be appreciated. LG changed a few things with the KK apk and for some reason they started making that a string array (only for Normal).

3) Nope...other than it not crashing when people are using ART.
[G2 Android Development] raghavan_nvr:
Thanks... Tried the new version.. Lowest speed is 1/9 secs in normal mode indoor lighting scenario.

Will you release apk version of 2.2.1
[G2 Android Development] natureburger:
One feature seems missing from so many camera apps is a true manual/infinity focus for video mode.

Since Infinity is practically everything after 2 metres, videos of distant moving objects, dimly lit distant objects, foggy weather shots and water shots and even too bright (snow shots) would benefit. No focus calculations are necessary and the video will always remain clean and clear.

There are one or two cameras with an Infinity mode. However, they are bugged with the fact that Infinity is actually a "Focus Lock" on the last focus.

So what is needed is an Infinity mode that clears the previous focus and then sticks to the Infinity range.

Please please please. and for LG G2 stock JellyBean too please.
[G2 Android Development] Fauert:
Just an example :: Ha-ha ....
[G2 Android Development] mannequin:
i haven't been taking a lot of pictures lately (since the HDR bug and 1.6.1 update) and finally took some yesterday and noticed that the noise reduction is quite "bad" again for me on 1.6.1. not sure what happened but i noticed it right away. maybe i'll try to downgrade and see what happens.
[G2 Android Development] emoibm:
Dunno if it´s even fixable, but if you take a picture in HDR mode, Panorama, or any mode, when you open another app like whatsapp and try to take a picture from there, you are stuck in the previous mode and can´t change that.
[G2 Android Development] AndroidInsanity:
I notice that some people have managed to upload slow motion samples from this MOD, how do you actually save the video with it in slow motion? I cant only play it in slow motion not save it in slow motion
[G2 Android Development] ForceUser:
THAT would be the killer feature.

Who cares about 4k or 120fps if the picture is out of focus half the time....

Because if the focus is correct, 4k looks stunning!!!

Something curious... When you take a shot with flash in auto or on, the picture it's kind of blurry, even if the flash doesn't turn on(auto), but if you set to off, it is more sharper, and you notice more this if you take a photo with zoom, why is this? Because of this, I always have my camera Whit Flash on off, to ensure my picture quality XD "I love g2 camera"

I left some examples so you people can see what I mean

I think the difference in zoom is... Ammmmm... Extremely huge? XD

First thx xdabbeb for all your hard work with this camera mode :good:

I have D802 4.4.2 20B rooted phone, and a couple hours ago your v2.2.0 - APK VERSION camera fix ...

Auto focus on G2 still have problem - pictures in dark conditions are muddy :(

Look this pictures with auto focus and with manual focus

Shooting conditions : Dark room with 3 meter distance from my digital clock & 4.0 zoom...

Auto focus and totaly useless picture

Manual focus and good focus with no much trouble
[G2 Android Development] natureburger:
My test of current version mod

(Just trust me and save me the grief of uploading boring videos)

Zoom at 50%.

Scene is parked cars and parking lot 100 feet away.

5:00 PM and it is slightly overcast but still quite bright.

Results:

* Camera locks on focus initially

* Scene starts mild breathing after the first 1-2 seconds of video.

Why, because there is a slight wind and one of the trees on the scene has some motion that confuses camera. Although, even when it was perfectly still the camera still had trouble holding focus.

Solution:

(On the G2 it works if you you do this as user and it should work if the same steps are taken programatically with the API)

1) Have an infinity mode option.

2) When user selects infinity mode, put camera in manual focus and focus at 10 metres away.

( My test shows that 95% focus is at 2 - 2.5 metres, so Infinity will surely be anything after 10 meters and probably still work for users who video anythng after 4 or 5 metres)

3) Then put camera in Infinity mode. It will hold the focus setting obtained in 2(a).

People will be so impressed by having clear videos that you will receive a stream of thanks and possibly some money. You will be revered and liked my millions of camera users world-wide.

I will sacrifice my firstborn to your good name if you can pull this off.

Now, just imagine that your next video of anything from 5++ metres away is actually in focus and then stays in focus because ... the camera does not need to focus!!!
[G2 Android Development] akaloith:
lg g2 has a 4mm lens which in 35mm equivalent is 29mm at f/2.4

that means a Lens Multiplier Factor of 7.25

By using a a hyperfocal calculator we get the following:

if we focus at 1.6m (hyperfocal distance for this sensor-lens)

we get a depth of field of 0.80m to infinite

TO THOSE WHO DONT UNDERSTAND, BY MANUAL FOCUSING AT 1.6M (AND NOT INFINITE)

WE PRACTICALY HAVE EVERYTHING FROM 0.8M TO INFINITE IN FOCUS

SO WE PRACTICALY DONT NEED TO FOCUS AS ALMOST EVERYTHING IS IN FOCUS

NO NEED TO EVER USE AF IN VIDEO, FOCUS HUNTS ETC ETC

SO IF YOU CAN MANAGE TO USE MANUAL FOCUS IN VIDEO PLEASE USE THE HYPERFOCAL DISTANCE OF 1.6M

IN ORDER TO HAVE AS MANY IN FOCUS

or at least something close to this, NOT INFINITE.

If companies knew the basics of photography they wouldn't bother with ****ty af that ruin the video and lag the photo capturing

A simple fixed focus to 1.6m would have almost everything in focus from 0.8 to infinite.or at least offer it as an option

This happens cause mobiles use so small sensors and practicaly have easily everything in focus
[G2 Android Development] shriom_manerker:
i just tried this and i dont have this issue :) pics come out fully focused with or without flash on auto

[G2 Android Development] natureburger:
I like what you are saying. Just make it so that 100% anything 12 feet away to 500 feet away is in focus.

It might be worth testing to ensure that the setting really works on a few users cameras.

But make it easy, one button, something my wife can figure out how to use.

[G2 Android Development] wintermute000:
If I try the APK version (running cloudystock KK), do we still have to use the backup and rollback zips to revert? or will uninstalling the apk do the trick?

secondly, if I've backed up previously when running JB, do I have to manually delete that older backup so the new backup doesn't get confused?
[G2 Android Development] |ErosizeD|:
Hi, i just wanted to know if its posible for you to make a 2nd version with higher bitrates on each mode

4k at 30mbps stills pretty poor quality, even compared to 30mbps on 1080p.

A bitrate selector would be good as well but making a second version, im sure a lot of users

who prefer quality over space, would apreciate it a lot!.

And just one thing more, the jpg compression on libs, can be by someway edited?, or did you research

on it? on the LG Optimus 3D, editing the libs, grant to the 3D users, full 100% uncompressed jpegs, and

artifact, prosprocessing-less pictures.
[G2 Android Development] yiu1213:

[G2 Android Development] bender_007:
Hey m8. The apk installer is for kitkat only. But it will restore gallery, camera, videos and media profiles. So it's safe for reverting if you didn't do a second backup over the current. Uninstalling the apk wont do the trick if you are thinking about camupdate3.3a.apk .
