[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daisun:
Hi guys since the N5 and G2 are closely related I was thinking it might be possible to put the 13mpx camera module from the G2 into the N5. I did some searching for images and from what I can see the connector looks to be the same or at least very similar:

Nexus 5 camera module:

http://www.etradesupply.com/lg-nexus-5-d820-rear-facing-camera.html

LG G2 camera module:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Camara-Prin...3?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_186&hash=item2330e302e7

Even if this fits there might be software related issues that might stop it from working (Drivers etc)

What do you guys think? worth a try? Or anyone tried it?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I think its pointless. Its not all about mega pixels you know?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackbeans:
IMO, it's definitely can! The module is same! :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbingham:
Might be worth the hassle. You could always pop the original camera back in if it didn't work and sell the G2 camera.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blatz729:
If it weren't around the holidays, I would probably at least try. My wallet is near empty. If it does fail, you can always just swap the N5 camera back in. Let us know if your going to move forward with the modding, I'd like to see that!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhatfield25:
subscribed! I would honestly be more interested in having a camera app with the same iq and speed of the G2 Camera
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashirviskas:
bump, would like to know if that is possible too! I think we would need to modify a kernel and have a new camera app/drivers, but if hardware supports it, why not! Any testers? :fingers-crossed:

EDIT: Cheaper module: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Replacement...e_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item4d1cd1ac7a

EDIT2: an even cheaperer module http://www.ebay.com/itm/Replacement...e_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item2c80ba1e8b

If no one is willing to test I think I will go and try if this is possible when I get my nexus
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
No.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashirviskas:
Why so pessimist?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Firstly I am a realist and that is because of my second point, which is that it can't be done. Try and prove me wrong if you like but I accept no responsibility for your device
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashirviskas:
Why can't it be done? I think with some kernel and android tweaking we could get that working, am I wrong? I've checked, they are the same connectors. I see only two problems that might stop from using G2's camera - no hardware support (which I think should be there as they are almost the same phones), or no one smart/determined enough to get it working on software. If I get it working somehow on hardware level and prove it to you (I don't even imagine how, but what if), would you help me with making it run properly? I am not saying that this is really possible, I am saying that no one knows that for sure (maybe exept LG).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chicohonda91:
Then buy it, do it and get it over with. Btw, it wont work.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Excellent. Well let that be you. I presume you have solid experience in recreating closed source drivers from scratch?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
When it comes to any kind of porting, on any device that's been out awhile.....I always say this! ;)

If it were possible, especially on a nexus, it would have been done by now. :)

But yes....try it yourself....succeed and the masses will be eternally grateful to you. ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashirviskas:
couldn't we just use G2's drivers..?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Well if it were that easy it would have been done by now... But no. The G2 is a different phone. They haven't even been able to successfully port a G2 ROM to the n5 yet
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
The things you seem to be leaning towards will possibly brick your device.

Tread lightly my friend.

No. G2 drivers are G2 drivers. Not N5 drivers.

Unless you begin learning coding, and everything there is to know about porting and ROM building.....nothing you do will help.....only risk your device.

All this has been tried by much smarter people than me. Lol

---------- Post added at 01:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:55 PM ----------

See this thread for G2 porting discussion. As many manufacturer framework threads have gone.....its not looking good.

Keep in mind, that like touchwiz, many manufacturer apps depend on their custom framework being present.... And their apps simply will not work outside of it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
The term "coding" doesn't sound right to me.. Usually the differences are:

Programming: The overall act of designing, expressing, debugging, then optimizing a software package.*

Coding: Expressing (implementing) a program.

Oh well, I won't get into that argument lol.

And the camera in the Nexus 5 is already good enough, people are just using it wrong and don't know the difference between HDR and HDR+ lol. I don't think its worth it to try, just because its takes images in higher megapixels doesn't necessarily mean the quality is better. You could have a 100mp picture that looks like crap and an 8mp picture that looks good. For example my Xperia Arc S (2011) shoots pictures in 8mp. Its a 2011 device and takes the same size images as my Nexus 5. Does that mean it takes the same quality pictures? Hell no, it was a great camera for its time but that isn't the case anymore. I also have a Note 3 which I hardly use, it takes pictures in 13mp and the Nexus 5's 8mp camera is superior.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I'm no dev....its all some sort of magical coding to me! ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Programme language and code are synonymous so too are their verbs
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashirviskas:
rootSU - thanks for the help, I thought it would be a lot easier. I don't think it's worth it to risk a device for a few megapixels. I really liked the idea and just wanted to see if that is possible, and my "arguing" was just to find out more about the possibilities, now it is clear to me. Howewer, do you think that it is possible to do some hardware modifications on N5 to get some additional features or better functionality? If yes, what kind of? I am interested in this kind of things
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Swapping any hardware is going to come with the same troubles
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashirviskas:
I think microphone and speaker wouldn't have the same troubles :) (I think that nexuses should be made not just with open source OS, but with somewhat customizable hardware too)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Lol. Imagine the guys trying to sneak their device through an RMA that messed up their soldering jobs. ;)

Would never happen. :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashirviskas:
Well, we don't need to solder anything to change the same modules, I think there should be various types of modules built especially for nexus. Something like project ARA, just more internally, like a pc desktop. In example you could buy 8mpx camera nexus without OIS and later on you could just swap the modue to 20 mp with ois and all other kinds of good stuff in it. Because it is a developer phone - developers might need several different cameras to test their camera apps on. So why not. Of course that is more of a dream than reality :o
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Its a "developer device" software-wise, not hardware wise..

If you read my previous post, megapixels aren't everything, its just the size of the image in pixels. It doesn't determine the quality. On digital cameras (phones don't have optical cameras for obvious reasons) the software behind it is just as important (if not more important) as the hardware.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
True. Microphone is pointless but speaker maybe
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashirviskas:
Yeah, phones don't have optical cameras now. In these days of technology they use radio cameras and use light speakers. :silly: But really, what did you wanted to tell me with your post? :D (Yeah, I know that about MPs and software, but G2 sensor still looks better to me)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Based on what technical information?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashirviskas:
Based on higher LG G2 price and mpx
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
So based on nothing then?. If you have any technical details about why you think the censor / IOS is better, I'd love to hear it. Otherwise, this thread has pretty much reached the end of its usefulness
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
I probably worded that wrong but the point still stands. As I said previously, if it was possible it would have been done already. If you want to try it, go ahead, we're not stopping you.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j'vai:
you attempt this for a better performing camera on the nexus 5?

be patient bro, the hardware side **may* be a'ight for an 8mp shooter;

hack around the the software side, leave the hardware intact (saving yourself much effort) -

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mo976:
I have the answer for you...

My rear camera on my N5 has a real problem with focusing, it just wont I hear/feel the OIS buzzing away trying...anyhow I ordered a new camera on ebay and in a twist of fate they sent me the wrong part http://www.etradesupply.com/lg-nexus-5-d820-rear-facing-camera.html on the cable you will see the number Y475A I got a part labeled Y472A this seems to be the G2 camera http://www.etradesupply.com/lg-g2-d800-rear-facing-camera.html

Long story short I did not notice this slight difference until after I finished installing it and had NO rear facing camera. I tried G2 camera ports etc even wiped and tried stock and CM but no luck. Put back in the old part and at least it may be out of focus but it works.

[Microsoft Surface] dgjl:
I am unable to get a stable link to eduroam with my Surface 2 at my institution. I've tried pretty much everything that the web has to offer in terms of advice and have come up with nothing that works. Does anybody have any insights into what the root problem may be? :confused:

[Microsoft Surface] dgjl:

[Microsoft Surface] s0l1v3r:
Hey,

I'm a student from Germany and we have the same problem here.

Sometimes i have to type 10 times my login and pass that it works. Very confussing and looks like that it has to be a problem by Eduroam .

So far i know you can't really do something .

greets from Germany

sorry for my bad englisch
[Microsoft Surface] XYlow:
That is weird, Eduroam works perfect with my pro. I suppose you installed the certificates and everything manually?
[Microsoft Surface] :
Check the security settings when you set up the eduroam with username and pw

---------- Post added at 09:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 PM ----------

Should msc v2 or somethibg like that. Just google eduroam settings for android and it will come up with everything y ou need to change as it is the same for everything else. But eduroam as a whole is going under upgrades and such and hasnt been stable for 3 weeks
[Microsoft Surface] dgjl:
Checked all that - I'm using the script from my ITS depts. My experience with Eduroam is uneven. On my Uni's older network I can access Eduroam easily. I also had no problem accessing it at UCL on Saturday. But where my Uni has 'upgraded' their network, which is across most of the campus, I only get 'limited connection.' Same set up in each case. It maybe a driver issue, as has been observed in other places, but it maybe network related...
[Microsoft Surface] s0l1v3r:
Now it´s works

Hey people,

I recently had a conversation with one of my IT friends and he had the solution. He said he was there to repair the network works sometimes. Anyway, he told me that the eudoram has some restriction on it , as soon as you take longer than 20 sec to login , you´re out and have to try again. It is in some way an international Eduroam rule so it might be at your place the same.

I hope this helps you.

PS : sorry for my bad english

PSS: i normaly copy my long e-mail addy so i can save time XD
[Microsoft Surface] corckie:
Had the same problem with manual configuration, installing certificates, setting network profile and still it worked once for 20 times. So I went here : https://cat.eduroam.org/ . Clicked "eduroam user: download your eduroam installer" at the bottom and chose my university. Choosing proper Uni is essential, as these certs work only with certain school. Then installed it (no configuration, no unnecessary malware thanks god) and suddenly my login works like a charm. I suggest you give it a try.
