[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Rudegar:
redio stacks are included in the normal rom when upgrading

try removing both the rom file and the extented rom file and do a normal upgrade

seing that the only rom present then will be the radio stack rom it should be the only one upgraded

but some radio stacks seem to require some roms to work

safe bet really is to upgrade all roms at once

That is one of the things I really loved (and miss) from the M7. Is there an app that is similar to the player that the M7 has? Not only does it have the lyrics displayed, but it highlights the lines and gives beautiful visuals in the background. Anything like that?
[Android General] JacobManning17:
Hi XDA,

I was browsing around the Play Store and was updating Chrome beta. As we all know, this has material design features. I noticed that the regular chrome app had also been updated to include material design. As I was browsing through the screen shots of the app, I noticed a differently themed Android L keyboard (picture attached).

I couldn't find any other post or mention of this other theme for the keyboard. I think it looks better and would like to see it included in Android L. What do you think?
[Android General] DilviAJo:
Share It

Hi,

Would you like to share the keyboard with materil design white theme please.. :D
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] microzee:
Hangouts as I'm sure you know, has it's own APN settings. Is it safe for me just to delete all of the profiles?

If I delete the APN's in hangouts, It uses the system set APN correct?

Also, my carrier gave me this info, and I want to make sure it's all I need(In device settings)

Name

APN

MMSC

APN type

Is that all I need? Just asking because I noticed there were a bunch of other settings, and my connection always cuts out (probably a carrier/location issue).

Still waiting on hangouts update, thank God they added Google voice.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] microzee:
Bump!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevemw:
You do not have to fill in the APN settings inside Hangouts unless you are having problems with the application. The settings supplied by your carrier should be all you need to configure in your mobility network APN settings.

Sorry to be an annoyance to make another post about my hard bricked LG D851. I was wondering if there is the solution similar to the LG G2 that can unbrick my phone.

NOTE: Public M Beta: See downloads below.

My goal for this application was to create a more flexible camera solution for LG phones. The camera hardware itself is very capable, but LG didn't necessarily take full advantage of it with their software. This app extends the capabilities of the camera and offers increased control/quality.

Running good xdabbeb gonna purchase it now at google store for development support and as my salute to you that you brought it here at the G3 section as i have requested last week.
[G3 Android Development] Mangtas_666:
Got a camera error after downloding the extra settings but was fixed after reboot..
[G3 Android Development] xdabbeb:
The Donation app has to temporarily access your camera on the first run to determine its capabilities for setting up which menu items are available on your device. It seems that occasionally it fails to release the camera (though I've told it to) which can cause that issue. It would only happen on the first run, however, and it seems random as only one of my testers ran into it. If you feel like trying it again and can get me a logcat I'd love to take a look, as I haven't been able to reproduce it myself.

Regardless, a reboot will fix it and it doesn't need to run that check again until you clear data for the donation app.

Camera is awesome, nice work! better than original, il need few more tests before using it as primary
[G3 Android Development] xdabbeb:
Thanks. Didn't hear back from tester on that. I just uploaded a new version that should fix it. Please reinstall it and let me know.
[G3 Android Development] xhitm3n:
Download Link?

Plz consider to add histogram, and those guides, i think you should change the laser boxes, they look too bold, the original ones look nice, and maybe transparent settings menus? just my opinion, other than that looks awesome! :good:
[G3 Android Development] xdabbeb:
Link's in the OP. I could probably replace the focus bars, but coming from the G2 I'm kind of used to them :)

As for menus, I assume you mean in the settings app, b/c the menus in the camera already have some reduced alpha. That could look nice. I'll give it a try and see how it looks.
[G3 Android Development] RedDevils88:
this camera looks really really good!! thanks a million for this. But i have a problem here, the photos that i have taken couldn't seem to save into my SD card. Phone storage is fine though
[G3 Android Development] Mangtas_666:
Thanks xdabbeb beauty shot now running smooth..enjoying the greatness of this camera..?
[G3 Android Development] xdabbeb:
If you click on the gear icon from within the camera app you should see an option called storage that allows you to select your SD card.
[G3 Android Development] RedDevils88:
save in SD option

Yes i am able to select SD card option but my photos couldn't be saved into it. is it only me?
[G3 Android Development] PjotrFias:
Nope, it's not saving to SD card.
[G3 Android Development] Kniazkoff:
Hi ur camera app Xcam works good on my G3 F400S. But there some thing that u can enhance. 1) Video 1080p 60fps works awesome!!! but these 60fps turns into 30 then u close app (settings show 60fp, but looks and feels like 30fps) 2) viewfinder of the photo. It also works with 30fps but if u change this to 60fps.... That will be really awesome!!!
[G3 Android Development] KingOfDope:
I sniffed around camera_config.xml and found a timelapse option. Can you add that to your app?
[G3 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Could you please alter your ridiculously large (1.2MB!!!!!!) sig image. PNG, really? :confused:
[G3 Android Development] KingOfDope:
Sorry for that, changed it to .jpg and is now 208KB :)
[G3 Android Development] jasvncnt1:
Maybe its me but still looks huge
[G3 Android Development] xdabbeb:
That file is used by the stock camera app (which doesn't have timelapse).
[G3 Android Development] KingOfDope:
Fixed it :) Now it's 800x250 and 148KB.

Owh okey.
[G3 Android Development] ChongoDroid:
Manual focus seems to be broken after backing out of the app. A wipe of app data fixes it. Brilliant feature, good work Dev!
[G3 Android Development] xdabbeb:
Yeah. Manual focus seems to not be playing nice with the g3 camera driver. The next time I get a chance to spend some time with an actual G3 I will look into it. It is a useful feature.
[G3 Android Development] dabug123:
Could u help with porting to aosp, please sir

You don't need to wipe data everytime just click on focus mode auto and then back to manual if that doesn't work try it again. Atleast that worked for me :)
[G3 Android Development] PedroDaGr8:
Did you see my most recent post about the HDR mode, with images from both the stock and XCam apps?

Can you change it to 1/60 instead of 1/30?

And where is chroma flash?

is it included in circle? I already have paid app but will not show in quick circle apps. would love have one in my phone

May I know if support for LG G3 Japanese version ----> Lgl24 ??

Many thanks!!!
[G3 Android Development] ehmjay:
just install and see if it works.. its like any other normal apk, sideload it and see for yourself :)
[G3 Android Development] xdabbeb:
Yes, but I have been unable to reproduce your issue and still need explicit instructions on how to do so. Also, the G3 photo in your post didn't look like it was in HDR mode. Did you have it in forced (manual) HDR or just auto?

Unfortunately, the driver doesn't support it at this time. We should have more control with L

I'm not sure what circle apps are, but I would guess this would have to be changed in your firmware.
[G3 Android Development] KingOfDope:
okey can't wait for Android L :D

New XCam LG user

First and foremost, thanks to xdabbeb (and anyone else that he thanked:)

Just set this app up on my G3 (got settings from the play store also). I am in the office and don't have a lot of things to take pics of however, in a limited sample of pix I have taken it does seem to be a noticeable improvement over the stock camera.

****adding an examples just for fun*****

[G3 Android Development] PedroDaGr8:
Yes HDR was forced on manually. The only thing I had to do to reproduce it was turn on HDR and take a picture with a lot of bright light in it and some black surfaces. To ensure, I repeated the process. In stock cam, HDR is forced on manually.

Stock:

It seems to happen only on certain edges. Like the bottom and left edge.
[G3 Android Development] xdabbeb:
Can you take two more photos where the framing is EXACTLY the same between the two (camera can't move) and email me the full-resolution files? Thanks.

EDIT: Please include full logcats of each photo being taken as well.

I enjoy XCam, thanks for all the work on it.

May I ask, would you please provide the dates of the version changes, in your 'change log' in post #1?

Thank you
[G3 Android Development] whoamigriffiths:
Quick Circle is the G3 equivalent of the G2's QuickWindow.

I've not read your thread on the g2 forum so I'm not sure if you ever got the camera incorporated into the G2's Quick window, or even if the g2 had that much functionality.

But it would be great if we could have your camera on our quick circle.

There has been an app made for us to use extra functions in quick circle. http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/themes-apps/post-quickcircle-apps-t2820081

Whether we could add your app to it, is another matter.

But thanks for all your hard work.

All the best rich
[G3 Android Development] sizzlers:
Bougth it and really love the options. If anyone could post LG settings for best quality would be happy. Also hope 4k recording to be fixed cause there is noticeable blur.
[G3 Android Development] samitro:
Does the default app improve picture quality or do I need to have the settings app to change compression etc.? Thanks
[G3 Android Development] Mangtas_666:
Shot and clear freezes camera on my D850
[G3 Android Development] xdabbeb:
No problem. Glad you're enjoying it. I'll try to remember to put dates, but it's nothing I've ever done with anything I work on so it's not really part of my process. Any reason why?

Great! The settings for best quality will depend on the situation you're shooting in. The good thing with this camera is that you now have control over these options while still being able to make use of all of LG's proprietary post-processing and shotmodes. I alternate between Normal and HDR mode most of the time. For not-so-well-lit indoor photos, try shooting in normal, lock iso at 1600 or 800, leave the auto-night mode on, and adjust brightness down from there to suit your taste. I've found this to produce much better photos than either night mode itself or letting iso run on auto...both of those situations (which is the default on the G3 camera) tend to blanch out colors and give a lot more denoising artifacts. Mostly, I encourage everyone to play around with various combinations of minimum shutter speed/iso/brightness/etc in low-light situations to figure out what works best for you.

The default app gives far more control and you don't need anything else. If you really want to get the most options to tune the camera the settings app is very helpful.

Logcat?
[G3 Android Development] austin1030:
After I update my phone with a patch from Verizon, Xcam no longer working.

Does anyone has any solution?
[G3 Android Development] xdabbeb:
Someone had already gotten in touch with me on that and I've got a fix out. It's due to changes in the vvm app. If you want to test it as well, send me an email. I could actually use a copy of that apk as well as the lgcamera.apk from 10C. Thanks.

EDIT: If you aren't using it, just remove (or maybe freeze) the VVM app. There was a change in that apk that's causing it.
[G3 Android Development] Dre363:
I know its not something most people would need or want, but is there anyway you could enable us to save images in raw format?
[G3 Android Development] jojobans:
why cannot save sd card???
[G3 Android Development] xdabbeb:
Yep. It's on my list of things to do. I know it will have limited appeal due to the necessity of post processing on your computer, but it would be handy at times. It will also depend on how much of a pain it will be to integrate with LG's camera (which is the base). I've gotten it working on a simple camera app that I use for testing though.

Please read the OP. Your answer and a fix are there.
[G3 Android Development] troopii:
Raw capture on the g3 is easy. Just set the picture-format to one of the bayer-mipi formats and turn off zsl and the next picturecallback has the raw image.

This works for the g2 too

greets
[G3 Android Development] xdabbeb:
I was originally hoping I could get the raw callback to work so I could save both without multiple frames, but it seems that just returns null and they never intended it to be used. Good to know it's easy to go through the normal callback though. Thanks!
[G3 Android Development] troopii:
i didnt see a device wich use the rawcallback.

g3/g2 m8 use all the piccallback.

only on mediatek devices it works a bit different. there you have to set the fname to parameters and the the hal save the raw to the path.

but the real problem starts when you want to convert the raw...

camera raw or rawtherapee are not able to read it because its not a 16bit raw.

but dave coffin released a patch for dcraw to convert 10bit raw.
[G3 Android Development] xdabbeb:
Yeah, from what I read the raw callback was something put in early on in the 1.0 api and never was meant to be used. I did find at least one case of someone getting it working, but it was a completely different chipset. I was wondering how the conversion would be handled, so I'll do some reading up on dcraw. I think defcomg had mentioned that to me before as well. Are you packaging the binary as an asset and threading it or just having people run it themselves after?...I suppose that gives the most flexibility. I didn't see a library, but understand his stance on that. Thanks again for the info, dude.
[G3 Android Development] troopii:
there are two ways.

first save it as raw for later process on a workstation.

or move the raw into a dng container. (this is not needed anymore with L because it supports it?)

i added both options so the user can choose.

you can also use libraw (wrapper for dcraw) but converting it on android takes to much time depending on the settings.

also the produced tiff have on 13mp raw 75mb. i think this way is wasting battery and storage space
[G3 Android Development] Itaintrite:
Whoa, RAW support would be awesome. No more ****ty NR that makes my night shots look like a mud-painting.
[G3 Android Development] DevonL:
Unfortunately after the latest upgrade on Verizon it seems this just crashes. Android version is 4.4.2 - originally I had swapped over to ART but changed back to Dalvik wondering if that was the issue here. Anyone else experiencing similar problems?

[G3 Android Development] tribalartgod:
I've continued to use this app since the day I installed it. Thank you for this. I especially like that "XCam LG Settings" is a completely separate app. Some would find this annoying, but I think it's quite useful... Have it installed, and it controls the app. Don't have it installed, and the app uses its own or the device defaults. Perfect.

I do have a request tho. In the OP post #2, under "How to Use XCam LG Settings"... Can you add those descriptions to the app itself? I think a lot of people would find that helpful in trying to get the best shot. Myself especially. :D I'm still learning the camera lingo, and what settings are best for what. I can't possibly be the only one... Thanks again!

tried to open this app in official rooted lollipop rom and it closes immediately...

can u fix it plz?
[G3 Android Development] xdabbeb:
That's a good suggestion, and I do plan on doing so in the future after the feature additions slow down.

I actually considered adding all of those options to the existing menu structure but given LG's implementation in the app it would've been a nightmare. With the settings app I have a lot more flexibility.

Logcat?
