In my case, I had to switch camera app because w/ STOCK I'm facing FCs
[G3 Android Development] matthias.matthias:
My findings regarding RAW and noise reduction:

- if you want it quick and simple, use the default settings (noise reduction on, raw off), it gives you a pretty decent quality

- if you want the biggest possible amount of details in your pictures, turn noise reduction off and apply it later via LightRoom or a similar software

- if you want natural looking pictures with a huge dynamic range, shoot in RAW and develop with via LightRoom or a similar software --> at least for me the pictures turned out having less detail than with the previous method

Are there any lense profiles or preset for working with these RAW pictures? It's a bit of trial and error at first...

I would like to here your thoughts and experiences.

[G3 Android Development] matthias.matthias:
Thank you for raw/dng support

With a bit of patience working with raw pictures can be amazing. For every picture I have to experiment with different settings and programs until I find something I like. But the results are worth it. :)
[G3 Android Development] matthias.matthias:
Bug report?!

Same here. :(

Does it work for anyone?

Can anybody help?

Is this a known bug?

Thanks!

BTW I'm on Lollipop
[G3 Android Development] xdabbeb:
It works, but the second mic usually has a much lower gain structure. Some custom kernels have the option to adjust this, but it's out of any camera app's control.
[G3 Android Development] christopherwoods:
Sadly not so on this stock ROM, video recording with XCam only uses the bottom mic (by the headphone socket) even with stereo recording enabled in the video options in XCam LG Settings. Stereo recording works fine with the stock camera app.

I'vet tried blowing into the mics and listening on headphones to confirm this, recording in 1080p60.
[G3 Android Development] xdabbeb:
Is this only when also disabling the audio noise gate?

EDIT: If both mics are active with audio noise gate left enabled and only one is active when it is turned off, then unfortunately that means LG has tied that to their audio subsystem as well. If you want to email me (not PM) some files from your particular fw I can take a look to verify.
[G3 Android Development] nikh667:
Agree that photos only save if using internal storage..?
[G3 Android Development] Sieluck:
No. No issues here. Save no problems on external sd card. ANHD 8.4. Didn't have to do any magic. Works since install like that.

That's right. Only save in internal storage. When i choose ex-storge. It only take picture. But dont save. I try other app and save success ...
[G3 Android Development] xdabbeb:
Other than the stock camera (which is a system app) what is this other app you speak of?
[G3 Android Development] NeverSmile:
Mx camera and stock camera. Both of them can save in sd card. But quality seem to be not good. This is why y choose Xcam.
[G3 Android Development] tehosiris:
same result here, viking way v20i rom, it snaps a photo, doesn't save anywhere
[G3 Android Development] Piotrekk:
Just install and run this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix . Reboot, vóila
[G3 Android Development] tehosiris:
uhm, that app is for KitKat, I'm on Lollipop
[G3 Android Development] Piotrekk:
The app also runs on LP.
[G3 Android Development] vedranius19:
I really like this app very much and I'm thinking of buying an full version on store.

But, I didn't managed to save to SD external card, and I have a 5.0.1 LP installed, stock firmware D855.

And I can't root...

So, any other way to save photos and videos to SD card with XCam? As I'd like to take RAW photos too!

Thanks!
[G3 Android Development] tehosiris:
confirmed to work on Viking Way stock-based v20i lollipop :good:
[G3 Android Development] matthias.matthias:
No, it does not matter if the noise gate is on or off. The files are encode as AAC with 156.0 kbits/sec. The audio stream is declared stereo but is effectively mono as it only contains the information of the bottom mic in both channels. I tried a couple of different settings always with the same result. (except for when switching off stereo, then the stream is declared mono but the result is the same). I could also send you files if that helps.
[G3 Android Development] tehosiris:
stopped working after plugging in and out usb cable

something is clearly not right here :confused:
[G3 Android Development] luisyfer:
Hi, very nice work, i buyed also additional setting on store.

It works pefectly on AndroidNow 10 rom, based on stock rom 20i.

Only a little request, if possible implement the grid on display during the shot?

Thanks.
[G3 Android Development] big88moe:
First of all thanks for the amazing app. And the extra setting app

I have a very important feature request if you can implement. This option is from the Oneplus one which toggles full brightness when using the camera automatically and toggles it back to normal user setting when camera is exited.

It's a very nice feature because the g3 camera has a stupid feature which keeps the ambient light sensor on while using the camera and if you hold the phone horizontally the screen becomes too dark and you can barely see the camera.

It would be awesome if you can add it to your LG xcam setting.
[G3 Android Development] xdabbeb:
Yep, I can look into adding both of these.
[G3 Android Development] placebo1978:
HI,

I also wanted to thank you for this app. Very nice. I do habe 1 question:

Is it possible to record more than 5 minutes in 4K?

Greetings

Daniel
[G3 Android Development] WACOMalt:
Please can you disable the "Battery too low to use camera" lockout?
[G3 Android Development] vedranius19:
Ye, I'd like to know that too, I mean my LG G3 gets really hot even after 3-5 minutes of recording 4K when it goes to the mode to just switch off...

So, I know there's a way to turn that off with root access, but would you recommend that?

Things I'd like to add to XCam:

when you save your photos as RAW/DNG, we need an ability to preview them fast with some browser that can actually view DNG as photos, and not just some files. Implementing a viewer or editor in XCam would be a great feature, or even making an another paid app for that.

I really like your app and idea behind it, but making an XCam settings separated from XCam app is a little bit PITA, when choosing to save to DNG or not.

Yes, I realized that while shooting in "normal" mode it shoots in DNG, and when shooting in any another mode it shoots in JPEG, but that's still not a great solution

Any way to replace a default camera app which is bind to volume down while in lockscreen with XCam? I'd do that with Xposed and LG G3 tweaksbox, but it seems that Xposed doesn't work well on Lollipop, yet...

Thanks for your work and keep it up! :)
[G3 Android Development] Pdj7969:
I had asked the dev about that in the beta group and he didn't think it is possible since it's part of the driver. Hopefully something can be done but that was 6 months ago and still nothing.
[G3 Android Development] imsonica:
A question about photo results. I've noticed a kind of smoth filter applyed to all photos i take. I think is like what you can select when you perform a selfy to clean skin etc but this filter is everywhere. There is an option to remove this, i think I'm loosing details with this filter on.

Ciao

[G3 Android Development] davidjavid:
I tried searching, but didn't find anything useful.

I'm missing some modes from the front facing camera like beauty shot. The stock app has it, and my XCam has it for the rear camera but not the front.

Maybe I should add that I'm on a G3 D851 running XCam 6.1.2 with the settings app on Cloudy 2.2. 5.0 Lollipop
[G3 Android Development] placebo1978:
Thx for the info. :)
[G3 Android Development] big88moe:
Bug report :

Am having a problem with the LG xcam. Everything is working fine except for the video it records perfectly but there is no audio what so ever,only video. I tried everything I cleared cache I re installed still no audio. And also most of the time it says error and the video isn't saved at all. And if the video saves which takes ages after I click the stop button and the scree is stuck till it's done processing for like 3 mins for a 20 second video. It saves without audio at all

Am rooted on stock v20i lollipop
[G3 Android Development] chevycam94:
I bought the xcam settings app, and when opening it, took me to a download link for XCam 6.1.2. Went isn't it public? I tried looking manually through xdabbebs AFH developer profile, but there is no link to 6.1.2. Not even 6.0.0 for that matter. Did I stumble upon a beta of xcam?
[G3 Android Development] Pdj7969:
Did you ever go to his Google+ group and request to be a beta tester? This is the behavior of the settings app if your Play account is registered as a beta tester account.
[G3 Android Development] chevycam94:
No I didn't. At least, not that I remember. But good to know. I guess since I have it, I can test it out. ?
[G3 Android Development] sizzlers:
I want some opinions.IS it the stock lg or some placebo effect that makes me think the picture quality is better with the stock app rather than this one?I really dig the options and the hold to focus key but from all the people here can you tell me is it placebo or quality is same?
[G3 Android Development] Teio:
It's called xcam, it has to be there if you installed it... Maybe its hidden by the launcher?
[G3 Android Development] jaco_lbn:
Let us know when you figure out how to save to SD. App is amazing.

[G3 Android Development] jaythenut:
install sdfix from play store and reboot all is good
[G3 Android Development] ehmjay:
nice! kudos to you for unlocking the real potential of this cam! for those asking how to save to external sd, you have to be rooted to bypass kitkat's limitation.

1. root your phone (stump is the fastest way)

2. install and use nextapp sd fix

3. reboot

4. enjoy!

PS: just bought the settings app :) thanks again for this great cam!
[G3 Android Development] MaEdCo:
thanks, great work!
[G3 Android Development] Protagoras:
Great, it looks really cool.

Will try and of course donate if it's better than the stock one.
[G3 Android Development] xdabbeb:
Thanks for pointing this out...I haven't had a device with an sd card slot since the original Moto Droid so I haven't run into it previously, but it seems that this is just due to the changes Google made in KitKat with regards to ANY 3rd-party app saving to external storage. The fix I found (adding media_rw gid to WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE in platform.xml), seems to be exactly what the Nextapp SDFix does (plus it backs up your original), so rather than reinvent the wheel, I'll just recommend that people install run that as it's free.

Thanks for letting me know about the UI glitch. I'll take a look at it next time I have a G3 in my hands. I had to do a lot of layout changes for the QHD screen so it doesn't surprise me that one or two slipped by. As for resolution, I tend to stick with full sensor (13mp), but that's mostly so that crops are less of an issue. There's nothing wrong with using 10mp

So, you're saying that even though the setting is still on 60fps after you re-enter the app, it won't actually record at 60fps (even in outdoor/good lighting) until you toggle between 30 and then 60 again? Can you tell me if the stock G3 camera does this as well? The reason I ask is that sounds more like a driver issue.

1) That would require a UI overhaul, and though not impossible, I don't think it will happen anytime soon.

2) The 480 shouldn't be a problem, but I'm unsure if 360 would work. I'll look into it and include in a future release.

This is a separate app, so it shouldn't have any problems with any other one installed. If you mean changes to the text file media_profiles.xml, then as long as that file is properly configured there should be no problems.

Yes, I should be able to do some work on the front camera as well. I am actually going to be leaving on vacation for a couple of weeks so it may have to wait until I return, however.

Can you provide more detail? Does it FC? Does it just do nothing? A log would be helpful if it's crashing.
[G3 Android Development] EpicChineseTime:
The app works fine, no FC.

This bug appears only when you zoom in and the manual focus stops working... but if you switch back to auto and put it on manual again it works.

it just stops working after a zoom

Sent from from my LG-D855
[G3 Android Development] xdabbeb:
After zooming, try tapping the screen twice (not too fast)

Wanted to give a HUGE thanks to [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] for creating this killer camera app. Always had little issues with my camera (too dark, blurry, etc.) but the combination of the app + your settings donation app can't be beat.

Awesome job.

[G3 Android Development] Rodeojones:
Glad to see some [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] love for this phone. I upgraded to the G3 last week and really was missing the camera mod from your G2 ROMs. Not sure I'll need the settings app but I'll buy it just to support your work. Thanks.
[G3 Android Development] D0MINO:
Thanks for this. Is it possible to add touch once to auto focus and take shot like I miss from Camera FX?

This is a super handy option missing from most camera apps for some reason.
[G3 Android Development] motoridersd:
I like this! I had been testing some apps and none were really doing a good job. Camera FV-5 is promising, but it doesn't work with my G3. I bought it and when I tried to refund it within the new 2 hour window, it didn't work, so I'm a little pissed about that.

Anyway, here are some comparison shots between stock and XCam. The difference is I set the ISO manually on XCam to avoid the notoriously ridiculous noise reduction on the stock camera app. These are taken indoors, in a dark office (we're participating in a flex alert on a hot SoCal day)

Stock Camera, everything auto:

Xcam auto

Xcam forced iso 100

Xcam forced iso 100 edited with Snapseed (adjusted brightness and temp)
[G3 Android Development] comzee:
Love this app, everything works great. One issue.

Auto focus does not work while taking 4k video. It does sometimes, but takes forever to readjust if it does at all. Guess what, 4k is the only video mode that doesn't support manual touch focus.... WAT? So that's a pretty crippling bug.

EDIT:

After some testing I narrowed down the bug. The 4k auto focus only doesn't work when you initially go into video mode, and press the "long video" setting. Then go into setting and switch it to 4k, auto focus will not work unless you press the home button (or just generally go out of the app), then go back into the app. Auto focus then works great. Although manual touch focus does not work any way tested, unlike all other video modes, which is confusing to me.

To reiterate, I think the automatic settings text box that pops up when you go into video mode, somehow messes up the auto focus for 4k. Every time you have to initially press that setting it defaults to 1080p (I find this absolutely a negative feature it asks you every time you enter video mode). Right after switching to 1080p to 4k auto focus is broken until closing and reentering the app.
[G3 Android Development] RedDevils88:
Iauto or normal mode?

hi there, u took that photo with Iauto or just normal mode?
[G3 Android Development] motoridersd:
Normal mode
[G3 Android Development] Huskehn:
Is there any chance of adding an option for "proper" image naming?

AOSP Android camera names images with an IMG_ prefix, however XCam does not. I would love to see this feature, as it makes it much easier to organize my photos.
[G3 Android Development] PjotrFias:
Could you also silence manual focus beep when silent shutter is selected.
[G3 Android Development] matthias.matthias:
I think Xcam is better. It all depends on the settings and what you're looking for. What do you mean by "better quality"? Setting Jpeg quality to 100 and noise reduction to off gives me way more detail than the stock camera. The extra noise can be treated with a software like photoshop or lightroom, plus the noise reduction there does a much better job. In case you like presharpened pictures experiment with the settings for contrast and sharpness. I'd recommend leaving extensive sharpening until after taking a shot though. Hope this helps.
[G3 Android Development] itenos:
I'm having the same impression. Photos shot in auto mode looked much better in Xcam on KitKat but they look worth in lollipop. No idea why...
[G3 Android Development] xdabbeb:
If both cameras are configured the same they will produce the same output...so, yes, it's in your head/placebo. As [MENTION=601279]matthias.matthias[/MENTION] said, XCam gives you the ability to take better photos via the extra configuration options. Regardless, this discussion has no business being in a development thread. Please take the silly talk elsewhere.
[G3 Android Development] luigisvc:
Hi, I am having a problem, I installed xcam and bought the xcam settings, the jpeg output record in the SD card, but the RAW files no. I tested the internal memory and it worked perfectly. I even tried to create the DNG folder by myself in SD card, but it didnt write and the app closes after take a picture, but only in RAW with jpeg it´s write normally on the SD card. What can be the problem?

Hi fellows,

I have two questions for you

1) Is there a way to disable the 5 minutes video recording limit while recording at UHD?

2) The 4K videos are amazing quality wise, but the audio is very, very poor. Does disabling the "Audio noise gate" to OFF help?

Longer exposure times + stereo bug fix?

Any news on stereo recording? It's still not working. Is it possible to fix that?

On a different note, could we have longer exposure times. Especially for night skylines etc. That would be really nice. Other camera apps can be tricked to go down to 1s by manually setting the iso. Which is great! It's a bit of trial and error though.
[G3 Android Development] kevo:
Edit...sorry, thanks. Moved.

Ive flicked through the thread but not spotted this mentioned. iAuto only give me black and white photos? Am i missing something really obvious?

Lg g3 stock kitkat rooted, xcam Settings purchased.
[G3 Android Development] xdabbeb:
Well, no one emailed me the files I asked for in my post you quoted. I tested it myself on G2 L release, however, and noted that LG has broken the ability to get stereo with the noise gate off. Nothing I can do about that, but it does still record in stereo with the noise gate enabled. They clearly just changed their internal mix bus for the respective sources that we can call. I'll just remove the stereo option for those on L to avoid confusion. Also, for testing this, your best bet is to ignore what the playback program is telling you and just tap the two mics (one at a time) to see if they're recording audio.

I'll look into longer exposures, but as you've noted, the driver really takes over making the decisions at a certain point. Fussing with brightness and fixed iso can help, but isn't exactly reproducible.

No, I've never seen/heard of that. Send me an email with a sample photo and a log.
