Something that's been driving me nuts (and not just with XCam, it's also with stock, or any other app) is that when switching from photo to video in low light, the picture goes super dim. You know what I mean? The viewfiner, onscreen, goes very dim once you switch to video, and the resulting video is dark.

Why does this happen? Why doesn't it stay as bright as photo?

Thanks!
[G3 Android Development] RedDevils88:
i found out something here, and i m not sure whether it is working as it should.

Whenever i use the volume down button to activate the camera, i have to double tap the screen only the camera app will appear.

while on stock camera app, we can use the volume down button only to activate the camera app.

just a friendly reminder, the UI glitch hasn;t been fixed yet. other than that, the app is perfect :)
[G3 Android Development] pluginre:
First I would like to thank you for this great camera app. I have purchased the paid version to show support.

Is there anyway to add a function where you can use the camera at low battery levels? I was a 5% and needed to use my camera but wasn't able to
[G3 Android Development] xdabbeb:
Well, that's a new one I haven't seen/heard before. Google's been making things difficult for a few people with license issues, etc, and unfortunately they don't give me much recourse but to contact them and wait for a response. I wish there was more I could do, but it's entirely on their end.

This is just the physics of photography...since the camera is allowing you to go to a longer shutter speed (as long as 1/9 in normal mode) it is allowing in more light than the video mode which has a slowest speed of 1/30. This is reflected in the preview as being darker. If you have the settings app, you can see what I mean by setting Normal mode to 1/30 as well...I think you'll find that this will actually be darker still as the driver also bumps the iso considerably in video mode.

This is a limitation of how LG implemented that feature in your firmware/rom. They hard-coded the package name to the stock camera, which means NO third-party camera will turn on the screen. I believe a workaround for this is already included in G3 Tweaks xposed module beta.

No problem. I can do that for the next release.
[G3 Android Development] velveteen71:
Thanks for the response!
[G3 Android Development] diegoms89:
Thanks for the response, if you could to this i would be very grateful as I'm travelling in october and this is the perfect mode for Travellers...

Btw, galaxy note 3 and htc one both shoot at full resolution im this mode, so i'm confident the hardware is capable
[G3 Android Development] cpg1987:
No problem. I can do that for the next release.[/QUOTE]

I installed the new update earlier and the camera is opening fine now! I don't know if you saw something in my catlog or not, but its totally working now! Thanks for the awesome camera mod
[G3 Android Development] xhitm3n:
Xcam colors are to white, i tested stock and xcam, stock does have more natural colors while xcam goes more whiter colors!
[G3 Android Development] xdabbeb:

I did! Thanks again for sending it.

There is no difference in color (provided you are shooting in the same normal mode) as they are both using the same driver and binaries.
[G3 Android Development] bjuderas:
I agree, same thing here. That's why I did not bought the app yet.

You can notice that better when you're filming.
[G3 Android Development] xdabbeb:
Care to provide an example with both cameras in normal mode and the same exact framing, lighting, iso, etc? Otherwise this doesn't make any sense.
[G3 Android Development] EvilJonh:
Never =/
[G3 Android Development] nIGhT-SoN:
I've tried this app, really awesome. The only bug I've found is that at 1080p 60fps it still records at ~30fps. Tried 720p 120fps and that one works fine. Is there a way to fix the 1080p 60fps? Using stock Android 6.0, only difference is root.
[G3 Android Development] Nikolatas:
i think that the 60fps not recording at 60 is not apps fault cos it depends on the lighting conditions you're filming
[G3 Android Development] nIGhT-SoN:
Oh, I see! Thanks for the answer!
[G3 Android Development] Wade83:

[G3 Android Development] STALKER18:
Hah loooong time G3 :D.

Was thinking you do the same thing with G6 G5 V20. Is it possible ?
[G3 Android Development] xhitm3n:
Same Settings, both auto, they usually get like this!

FIRST one IS STOCK and the SECOND is XCAM
[G3 Android Development] xdabbeb:
Any chance you can get me the original images with the exif data intact? Without them there's not much that can be proven.

EDIT: If you're going to use the stock G3 camera's auto mode, make sure you turn off auto HDR and set XCam to Intelligent Auto. Those modes are more/less the same. Also, it looks like you may have turned off the auto night mode feature in the settings app. Is that so? If you're going to shoot in low light like this photo, you should probably turn that back on as the G3 camera will always have this on regardless. Again, for comparisons, you need to make sure ALL things are equal.
[G3 Android Development] jmerchant:
xdabbeb - I was wondering if you've thought about adding longer exposures...or making it so we can go on the positive side of shutter speeds, like up to 30s exposures. Is this possible? Thanks!
[G3 Android Development] thznutz87:
Mine is the same. No extra white
[G3 Android Development] xdabbeb:
I certainly wish it were, but the only current method is a bit of a hack that involves taking from the live preview feed. This is also at a lowered resolution and quality.

Thanks. I'm sure the other two are just aren't comparing on equal terms is all. As long as someone isn't doing additional post-processing, all of that decision making is done in the driver.
[G3 Android Development] jmerchant:
Yeah that's what another app says...just wishing there was a better ability to hook into it. So I'm guessing you're not gonna add it then ;)
[G3 Android Development] bjuderas:
So, I've been doing some testing and it seems that the difference is in the hdr being on or off and that the intelligent auto was not set.

But, why does the xcam has no hdr?
[G3 Android Development] ehmjay:
yes there is.. click modes, then Dynamic Tone.. that's HDR
[G3 Android Development] kadett-k2:
Why It cant save the photos into micro sd card? I take a photo and Its not saved.When I change the storing into internal then the photo is saved.

[G3 Android Development] PedroDaGr8:
XDA did you see my bug report? About the weird HDR issue?
[G3 Android Development] xdabbeb:
No, I hadn't, but just looked now. I haven't seen anything like that before. I can't reproduce it on my device, but I'm on a G2. Can you try clearing the data/cache for both XCam LG and the Settings app and retry a similar photo to see if it occurs without changing/modifying anything? It's possible that one particular combination of settings you enabled made this happen. I'll need you to go through them one-by-one to tell me how to reproduce it.
[G3 Android Development] D0MINO:
I'm assuming that u haven't applied any of the manual camera/video recording mods from 2 other threads on here and have just used this app then gotten the problem?

Hi mate, this camera is looking nice but i have one problem. Everytime when i try to take pictures it doesnt take it or save it to anywhere. Screen flash like it's taking pictures but it isnt showing anywhere.. Do you have any clue which is causing this? I have rooted stock rom, using dalvik and xposed framework.
[G3 Android Development] pluginre:
Please read op for your answer. You have to download at app through the app store to be able to save photos
[G3 Android Development] Fuse8499:
This is probably a stupid question that's already been answered. But does XCam take advantage of the OIS? I read that only the stock camera was able to use it.
[G3 Android Development] MarimoMusicHead:
A stoopid solution I found to seeing if ois really is operational.

Open camera, zoom all the way in, find a small stationary object to look at, tilt the phone s bit and then stop moving, if the camera is still "gliding" ois is operational, ain't it? :D
[G3 Android Development] MarimoMusicHead:
[MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] Hey, could you put the "Live effect" from video recording into camera as well?
[G3 Android Development] uicnren:
Actually, you need only to download that app if you want to save to an external SD card, not if you want to save them internally.

---------- Post added at 06:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:45 PM ----------

Open XCam prefs, and select to save on internal storage, or, as per the original post, download the app to fix saving to external storage (SD card).
[G3 Android Development] ehmjay:
touch to focus during video capture is not possible right?
[G3 Android Development] joejoe23:
Why cant i see any difference when recording videos in 1080p at 30fps and 60fps? When i play them back on my computer, both of them looks the same to me. The only difference was 720p 120fps.
[G3 Android Development] chacho_2me:
as far as i know...during daylight, you could experience the 60fps.. only during low light that 60fps is still going to be 30fps

thats what i read on some posts on xcam G2

maybe its updated not..im not sure

try it on good daylight :D
[G3 Android Development] D0MINO:
I get this sometimes when tapping the screen as I am used to CAMERAFX where it has a one touch anywhere on screen to auto focus & take picture function (a function I would very much like on xcam - I already have the donate version so can't offer anything more in return than a simple thanks :) )

I find that often the camera button itself does not register a touch which is super annoying and I have to try many times to get the picture. I'm not sure if this is due to my setting the dpi at 540? Is it possible to increase the touch area/sensitivity of the shutter button?
[G3 Android Development] PedroDaGr8:
I just cleared the data cache. Tried it again, only thing I changed was selecting HDR mode; it's still there. I have done some more extensive testing and it appears to possibly occur when there are dynamic extremes in the picture, combined with dark edges

See the text on the sharpie for example.
[G3 Android Development] PedroDaGr8:
So just to ensure it was the program I cleared the data/cache on both the stock app and the xcam app, set the mode to HDR for both and took the following:

I'm running the latest CM snapshot. I've been getting the infamous "Insufficient Storage Available" error for a while not, usually with chrome. There are various solutions. The "delete /data/app-lib/<app>/lib" solution was working ok for me but I can no longer find chrome in there anymore for some reason. I've already moved every app that can be moved to the "internal" SD card. All the "solutions" are really just workarounds trying to clear space.

Is it possible to increase the size of the partition by re partitioning the internal storage?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] tj13:
Move some apps to the SD card.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] eng3:

You need to look at internal storage, not SD card storage.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] articzap:
So I did system dump today to explore the files on my computer see what's hogging all of my space.

Background: I have only have 13 apps installed.

What I found is that my data/data is 346 MB and my data/delvik-cache is 452 MB.

So the files installed by CM are getting more numerous and of greater size. Not sure what to do to solve this problem.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] eng3:
same issue here. davlik cache is similar to a cache of your applications so they start faster. So it doesnt matter if you move apps to SD, you'll still have davlik.

Also, many apps will still store data in internal memory eventhough the app itself is on SD. I wish there were a way to move the data.

Or as I initially suggested, re-partitioning.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] kimba99:
well, there isn't ANY easy re-partitioning tool for android out in the wild that i KNOW of ... but, (at least to let you know) ... I'm currently still trying to _hack_ something together similar to the internal storage-partition upgrades that the other HTC One devices with MSM8960 recieved ... where they officially unified the /user partition with the internal /sd-card (fat) partition! ... it might take a few weeks until i have something to show around (as work keeps me very busy throughout the week), but i'm working on it. :cowboy:

just as a quick question so CM currently DOES put it's dalvik to the /user partition??? i thought they put it to /cache??? (at least on CM10.1 and CM10.2) ................ so feedback would be highly welcome :laugh:

Hi,

Have you upgraded your Sony Xperia ZL Android to 4.4.4?

Do you have folder named "baidu" on your internal storage?

I have those folder on my internal storage, I flash the Android 4.4.4 through PC Companion I have try flash it several times but the "baidu" folder still exist, I did not see any new apps since upgraded from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 why there is now have baidu folder?

Which app that generate this folder?

I got the same folder after updating to 4.4.4. Don't know where it came from. Deleted it, for now it didn't come back... ;)
[Sony Xperia ZL] drafha:
Yes, I did factory reset when updating. Also trying "Repair my phone" which will wipe your data. But the folder still comes.

I deleted it, but it will come again when you restart your phone. I have tried it several times.

[Sony Xperia ZL] Croudy:
After updating my Xperia Z to 4.4.4 there is this baidu-folder too.
[Sony Xperia ZL] androidfreak70:
Sometimes those folders come from in app ads or internet without your permission

TapaTalked from my Xperia™ (C660²) Z running Dirty Unicorns ROM!
[Sony Xperia ZL] sturmtruppler:
I am using an ad blocker, which redirects requests for ads to local host. So I don't think it was generated by ad. Even if it was, it has to be the app that shows the ad, that generates the folder. Just because ad is displayed in an app it can't genrate a new folder.

I didn't have that folder on 4.3, and I'm quite sure I didn't have it on 4.4.2. Since the update to 4.4.4 I only installed one new app: Google Authenticator. Anyone with the baidu-folder using this app?

If not, it has to be created by a new system app or a app that was modified for .283.
[Sony Xperia ZL] androidfreak70:
Baidu is actually a new Chinese company. Similar to Google There is also baidu market. So it's impossible this be a system app.

That's why I'm saying it's caused by ads.

In some firmwares it's can break the security systems of the device and create this folder.
