Sorry if this is asked before:

how can i be sure to have version 5 installed correctly? i did a backup, removed xdabbeb 3.1 version via cleanmaster, installed the v5 apk and did a restart. are there any indications, to identify the latest version?

i have the original camera icon, beside a new icon from xdabbebs cam. when i use the original, will it be the modded version anyway?

thanks in advance.

Giving credit to [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] might not suffice. Let me quote the OP: "Though it should go without saying, I do not approve of any use/copying of the code/methods contained herein for your own app/mod."

I think you should check with him before posting your own mod of his app.

I can also confirm that hardware button to wake camera no longer works. You must double tap to wake the screen and enter the opened camera in the background.
[G2 Android Development] stifflers:
So, its me agin.

I still have these sound issues while recording videos. i think its a well known "feature", the noise reduction seems to be way to strong, so the sound is too low and/or interrupted. hoped this is fixed with the v5 release. is this something what can be fixed by xdabbeb? or are there some tweeks out there to reduce this effect?

Uhhhhh, new icon from xdabbeb's cam (XCam) indicates the new version yes?

I would think that if you still have an icon for the LG camera, it's still the modded version. To get the stock version back you'd need to either flash the restore.zip or restore through the xdabbeb app if you installed the mod that way. A cleaner wouldn't roll back a modded app to stock. It doesn't know how.
[G2 Android Development] stifflers:
nahhh, dont get me wrong. i want this xcam mod absolut! but the stock camera is still there, and i tried to figure out, if the stock camera now uses modded files or still the stock files.

by the way: the 3.1 version had a own app, with backup function and stuff. the new xcam version not, is this right?

Hello everyone, I have a question, I'm new to this thread and I was wondering will this Camera Mod work with my LG G2 running Cyanogenmod 11?
[G2 Android Development] abdel12345:
Sadly no. It'll only work on stock based Roms. I haven't tried the latest version but they need the lg framework so it won't work on aosp. If it did then having this mod and pa ROM would make the perfect ROM for me
[G2 Android Development] :
Oh well, that stinks, I was really looking forward into using this mod, Thanks for the quick reply though. :) :)
[G2 Android Development] abdel12345:
Yeah it's a great mod. Improves the camera a ton but after going to aosp I can't go back to stock. I'd recommend you try lenovo super camera app. It's on XDA and is much better than stock Google cam
[G2 Android Development] :
Ok, Thanks again, I'll give it a try[emoji4][emoji4][emoji4]
[G2 Android Development] stetre76:
well the icon tells you that you've installed the new version, but it's no guarantee that everything works as it should/that you have all features available ;)

I think the reason some are asking is that they haven't flashed the binaries (or are not sure if they have) - the new Mod/Cam will still work (so you've got the new Cam icon), but not all options and features would be available
[G2 Android Development] duckwizzle:

Works on Pardus 3.1 HD Sensation

I have installed XCam 5.0 on Pardus HD Sensation 3.1 with no problems, which is based on FLEX/Stock, backed up and flashed the binaries and their was a problem....com.android.systemui loop, restored and installed again and I can say it is working completely with Pardus HDS 3.1 without any binaries installed.

I have taken a pic with the LG Camera 4.7 that was on their and an exact pic with XCam 5.0 and zoomed in and really cannot tell the difference between them, should I uninstall both camera apps and just install the XCam 5.0 maybe they are interfering to the reason why I cannot seem to tell any difference what so every with pics from these 2 cameras?

[G2 Android Development] Ramsey:
After a week of using this great mod, I'd like to post some of the bugs I found.

- Sometimes when using the flash to take a picture in Normal mode, it takes longer than usual and feels like it wants to take 2 pictures at the same time so I end up not capturing the moment of my daughter doing something. On other occasions it's fine.

- When taking a video, it has problems focusing, even on sunny beautiful days. For example, I am shooting a video in full sunlight, 1080p 30 fps, it focuses fine, then it looses focus and the whole thing is blurry and I don't know how to let it focus again so I have to wait it out. Frustrating - I end up stopping the video. I miss the functionality of the S4 where I could touch to focus while shooting.

- When using flash, colors are not accurate, it has a blue tint.

Is Cheese Shutter mode working for others? Once I enable it, the camera app starts force-closing until I clear data from the app (I don't get a chance to disable that mode first
[G2 Android Development] Manbot27:
I checked, having the same issue on cloudy g3 with the proper binaries installed. This was the same issue that beauty mode had before xdabbeb fixed it so I guess it's something else he forgot to add.
[G2 Android Development] horangeh:
Same for me, both on CloudyG3 1.2 ROM and OptimusG3 1.2 ROM (which comes with the XCam preinstalled). I hope xdabbeb fixes it soon, I use the Cheese Shutter way more than any other shutter method.

In low light, XCam doesn't do any smoothing in Normal and Intelligent Auto: pics are sharper, with more details but with noise that you have the chance to smooth out to the level you like with software later. The Night Mode strikes excellent balance between smoothing yet keeping the pics sharp with sufficient details. In low light, I usually prefer Night mode to Normal or IA.

Is it possible to do this without custom recovery?

I tried using ADB, but it said something about wrong footer signature or something. I do not have a custom recovery and do not want one, since the only thing i modefied about my phone is this camera (its even the sole reason i rooted it).
[G2 Android Development] Enter The Nexus:
>apk

Just read the instructions in the OP. Just install the APK.
[G2 Android Development] sojrner:
Well then, per the OP, for latest version it means you can't install the binaries, which means (from my perspective) there is no point installing the APK. Seems simple enough that when instructions say "do X" and you can't (or in this case won't) actually do X, then you can't proceed past that point in the instructions. If there was a way to install without a custom recovery, then the OP would contain those very instructions. (previous version did have multiple install paths) The OP does not have instructions of that sort, so this seems to be an academic discussion at best.

I am curious about the strange logic you have on this overall though. Indulge me a moment and walk through these steps:

You wanted a better camera

You found a new camera, but it required root.

You went through the work to root your phone

You installed said camera

Upon finding better camera ultra++ existed, you wanted to upgrade yet again.

You found it required a custom recovery.

You bailed on that better camera because you don't want a recovery.

I don't know if it's just me, but this seems rather odd. Particularly so when you consider that it's arguably a mere afterthought to install recovery once you've rooted your phone. If you went through all the pain to root, and did that only for a new camera, then why would a simple zip-flash of a recovery (for the same new camera) stop you when the work of rooting did not?

I'm not ridiculing this mind you, as everyone has their quirks about certain things... it's just an odd set of rules.

Rock on.
[G2 Android Development] Steamer86:
Think about everything you just explained, read it again, read OP, look directly at current changes, make a new post. Some changes require more drastic approaches. I'm sure if OP wanted to keep recovery out of the question it could be so, but would sacrifice quality for convenience...

Not the quality is in danger, users phones would be in danger. What if something happens and he has no custom recovery?

hello

how to play video filmed in slow motion, on my pc
[G2 Android Development] platiNa:
A very good question you have there.

I am not an expert in these kind of things, I do however have a tragic memory of my Xperia X1 being refused for warranty because of a modded bootloader. In my mind, the idea has nested that its just a matter of a hard-reset to return the phone to stock settings, as long as i just have root and no custom recovery. Should i choose to install te recovery, the road to stock would be more difficult, with more pitfalls for it NOT to reach 'seemingly-new' status.

This may sound weird, but im low on cash and so i really need the warranty on this phone. Installing the custom recovery gives me the feeling it will be more difficult to return to stock.

Would it be possible to unzip the .zip file and manually copy-paste the files within using ES explorer in my phone? I guess it would be a highway to bricking the device.

A well, guess im stuck at 3.2 untill someone decides to create an installable .apk

[G2 Android Development] njstein:
Not quite, my man. A hard reset won't clear that root. You have to tot or kdz back to stock to clear. Which is why he posed the question in the first place. There's no "easy" way (even though tot is pretty easy) out of root. Just an FYI.
[G2 Android Development] Tinchoska:
Dude, you're making a huge problem from nothing. If you have problems there's always an exit plan. Flash a recovery make a flushable zip from a KDZ and you're ready to return stock whatever you want. If you need help on that just pm me and I'll help you. But take it easy, it's just a phone

[G2 Android Development] horangeh:
The Sports mode selects high ISO by default to increase shutter speed and reduce blur due to object motion. The pics in that mode are crisp but with significant amount of noise in low light, so they won't be smooth.

You are absolutely right.....but in that reply i mean about frame rate are smooth in sports mode....

Unfortunately because of the way LG has changed this over updates, Autorec is the only way. The solution to knock code though is to flash the Dorimanx kernel and you'll have it back.

[G2 Android Development] subhani:
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that I actually prefer older versions as compared to v5. The noise is too much and doesn't increase the sharpness of the image in v5. Good thing it has not replaced the older version so I can easily use it or switch between both.

If I want more noise or less aggressive smoothing in v3.2, I just use sports mode. It produced the exact same result as v5 auto mode. Just faster shutter speed.

[G2 Android Development] xdabbeb:
For those on G3-Ported roms asking about the cheese-shutter FC, check my posts. There's an explanation and solution already in the thread. There's also an explanation why I didn't include the binary in the main package.

I'm not doing this to embarrass or call you out, and I usually ignore the inevitable "version X is better" posts after every new release, but lately they just seem to turn the thread into a mess of the same thing so I need to reply.

People really need to read the thread as this very subject has already been discussed a number of times. Many people (though for some reason they're quiet now) had been asking for me to return a feature from the JB version of this mod in which Normal mode doesn't automatically turn on night mode when in low-light conditions. Night mode in the LG camera takes multiple frames and combines them along with a prodigious amount of noise reduction. Along with the NR, there is also a color shift due to the multiple different exposures. Though the improvements to the algos in the driver/binary package I have provided are a marked improvement to those LG gave us with the G2, many people wanted the option of a "true" normal mode that doesn't do this switch.

Most importantly, not one bit of functionality or quality has been removed or regressed. The quality of this apk/driver is better in every way. If you want the same smoothed/nr effect in low-light, select night mode. It's that simple. Regardless, in the (hopefully) not-too-distant future, I will be releasing an app that gives people the option to configure this auto-night mode along with a number of other aspects of the camera. Also, your message about Sports mode is incorrect...the way LG (or more accurately Google as that is a stock scene mode) implemented it previously it didn't switch to a fast shutter speed.
[G2 Android Development] GTRanushka:
Agree with this. i haven't experienced any quality decreases with the new mod. :good: but when it comes to the Sport mode, i can see the shutter speed is set to 1/24 . but i have seen some photos captured with 1/349 is it possible? I really appreciating your hard working and profitless service to us. Thanks! :good::good::good:
[G2 Android Development] Carter07:
1/349 is faster than 1/24, so yes.

The moded v5.0 kqmera.apk and the binaries for g3 ported roms.

1. Flash the binaries in recovery

2. Reboot ro android

3. Install the downloaded kamera.apk

Have fun!!

But the cloudy g3 kamera is similar up to 95% to this kamera app normaly you only need to flash the updated binaries.... But there is no prob when you install the apk from here then you got 2 kamera apps :)

[G2 Android Development] screenager:
Finally!!

After ten minutes: this mod really makes the difference. Limiting the shutter speed is a great idea and the modes behave now more like you would expect them. And i deals with a lot of issues people have. IA is very fast now :). Night mode i have to test tonight on the christmas fair.

However it would make more sense to me, if normal mode would behave like IA. And give IA mode more flexibility by allowing a wide range of exposures. this would make it slower again, but then it can really choose the best exposure for the situation!

Long exposure times should not go away, we have OIS and we should make use of it!!

The overkill feature, and the one i desire the most, would be a manual mode allowing to set the exposure!!

BTW: what is the lowest exposure allowed? any chance of BULB oder a timer?
[G2 Android Development] lch920619x:
Will this work on AOSP ROMS?:D
[G2 Android Development] screenager:
yes, iam using this very often. i just took pictures of the same scene with 0, -2 and +2 in normal mode:

0 --> 1/10, iso 800

-2 --> 1/15, iso 800 ---> darker

+2 --> no exif info for iso or exposure?! not sure what the camera does there

so yes i can influence the exposure time by adjusting brightness. but direct, manual control over the exposure would make the expierence even better :)

EDIT: for shutter speeds below 1/10 no exif information is provided. can someone confirm this?

tested video recording... just as stated in the op: 1080p60: bright situation 60fps, framerate drops in darker areas. love 1080p30: constant 24p movie feel!
