I think what he's trying to say is he wants the setting to stick after he closes and reopens the app so he doesn't have to manually set it to 60fps every time he reopens the app.

Purchased! This is a truly excellent piece of software. A single issue with it connecting to the camera but otherwise flawless. Would like to see bitrate control for video modes and that would be icing on this already awesome cake.
[G3 Android Development] xdabbeb:
Hey dude...hope you're enjoying the new phone!

I'm not sure I understand what you're talking about when you reference the "long video" setting or the automatic settings text box popup.

Though it would be possible, and I have done this in the past with a previous version, inevitably it upsets people who are used to or want it another way, so I will be leaving it as-is.

As mentioned, the Settings app in the play store can do this.

Not a bad idea...I'll look into it for the next release.
[G3 Android Development] comzee:
Odd, it pops up every time you switch into video mode....

[G3 Android Development] Rodeojones:
Definitely. Didn't think a G3 was in the cards for me, but when my G2 got the black line issue Best Buy gave this to me. No complaints.

Now we just need to unlock, or at the very least bypass this bootloader.
[G3 Android Development] cpg1987:
I am getting a force close every time I open the XCam app. I have tried the main apk and the mirror as well from the link in OP. Rebooting the device is still giving me a force close immediately upon opening the app. I bought the settings unlock from the playstore and they were working fine until I uninstalled it trying to do a fresh install of both apps.

When I try to reinstall the settings now from the playstore, I get an error that it couldn't be downloaded due to a 941 error. So, now I have the main XCam app force closing and I can't dowload the settings again lol. Does anyone know what I can do to get these working properly?? Thank you!

Edit: Somehow I didn't notice the part about what to do if you have problems. I am going to try and see if I can get more information.
[G3 Android Development] xdabbeb:
I've never seen that before. Does this happen to anyone else when switching to video mode on the G3? My guess would be this is just another weird variant check. Can you get me your build.prop?

EDIT: Actually, in looking through this more, it seems to be a carrier check...do you happen to be on Sprint?

Try clearing data/cache for both apps in Settings > Application Management, reboot, and reinstall both.
[G3 Android Development] comzee:
Yup, I am on sprint. Is there a way to disable that text settings box? Also, do you know why touch focus doesn't work on 4k?
[G3 Android Development] mbting:
i missed the manual focusing on my old Optimus Black. Glad to see manual focus on my G3. Bought the companion app just to donate.

Would be great if manual shutter is also in there. Is that possible?
[G3 Android Development] ehmjay:
no "long video" error here..im on D855 international version
[G3 Android Development] _Infamous_:
Working great just wish we could improve the horrible slow mo we have on this phone.
[G3 Android Development] KingOfDope:
AWESOME! Totally love manual focus!

But it needs some improvements:

When I use manual focus and zoom, I can't manual focus anymore.

Photo mode viewfinder has low fps while the video mode has smoother viewfinder.

when in Photo mode and I click on Help I get a force close, I'll attach a logcat.

CLICK HERE FOR THE LOGCAT.

PS: This is my first time using/making a logcat soo I actually don't know what I am doing. [IMG="I Have No Idea What I am Doing"]http://www.meaghansullivan02.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/I_Have_No_Idea_What_I_m_Doing.jpg[/IMG]

Finally, one more dev. I'll buy your apps five times, just promise to stay :)
[G3 Android Development] arebokert:
If you want to capture moving objects then you should put the shutter speed as high as you possibly can without it getting too dark to see anything. So try increasing the shutter speed as high as you can while still being able to see what you're trying to take pictures of.

Anyone compare pictures taken with this app on the G3 vs the stock images with the G4?

Wanting to get the G4, but since I installed this app, hesitant to "upgrade" now that my G3 is taking such amazing pics.

[G3 Android Development] matthias.matthias:
That would indeed be very interesting. In fact I did a quick test in an store comparing my G3 to a G4 on display.

I found the overall quality to be very similar, provided you turn off noise reduction in the xcam settings. The G4 photos had a lot of detail, but looked a bit oversharpened and maybe somewhat oversatured as well. The photos from my G3 matched the G4s level of detail without the oversharpening, but had a bit of noise in them (even with perfect lighting). They can look a bit lackluster beside the ones from the G4. Both of these possible issues (noise and saturation/contrast) can be addressed in post processing to a good degree though .

I noticed, the G4 needs only about half the exposure time the G3 does though. so in less than ideally lit situation the G4 will certainly have an edge.

The next thing to check would be shooting in raw on both phones...

[G3 Android Development] waynevans:
I have been using xcam since Jan and the settings app since february and really have yet to put it through its paces but that is about to change.

xdabbeb you are a scholar and if I were christian I would say a saint for your continued (and by many completely undervalued) work and patience with at least the well meaning fools among us. I would love to buy you a beer.

I have just spent 2.5 hours reading this entire thread (a worthwhile endeavor if you are new to xcam, it will provide you with some invaluable contextual awareness) and I have some advice to people seeking answers:

You don't have to read this entire thread ( you probably should though) if you read the OP and the 2nd post (better yet keep that page open in a separate tab for reference) and follow the links there, almost every question you have has been answered, is updated and current.

Just for giggles you should read the last 20 pages of posts.

purchase the settings app and join the G+ community, be thankful (and mindful that the pittance it costs is nothing. if you can afford a cell plan you can afford the cost, if you truly cant afford it, the camera app is free and you can wait for updates) If you feel resentful, be aware that you, your frustrated rage issues and willful ignorance are the actual problem.

Please, do some homework on basic photography. In particular you should check out the relationship between analog and digital photography, Google is your friend and there are tons of photography blogs out there.

carry on and eschew obfuscation:cyclops:
[G3 Android Development] speedingcheetah:
I don't understand.

Turning off Noise reduction on the g3 turns off all the processing that xcam does. In my tests, Pics are identical to the stock camera app when Noise reduction is disabled in the settings app.

I have contrast set one number lower and sharpness set to its highest setting and pics look AMAZING! Much more detail and sharpness than stock app produces. Doesn't look "oversharpened" to me at all.
[G3 Android Development] orlans21:
The camera all of a sudden doesnt want to take pictures. It shows it does but nothing happens after. It doesnt save it or anything...

EDIT: It seems like its just normal mode thats not saving pictures.
[G3 Android Development] matthias.matthias:
The noise reduction is carried out by the camera chip. Xcam has the ability to turn that off. Xcam does not add any noise reduction itself. The idea behind xcam is to make full use of what the camera module (and the driver written for it) are capable off. The original camera app, while simple to use, is very limited and does not offer the best possible quality. Head over to the google+ group to see examples of different settings and their effect.
[G3 Android Development] Mizraab:
I just started using this app and i love it already. Just a small suggestion i really like the stock burst mode which lets me take photos by just pressing the camera button and its more convenient unlike the one on X Cam because you have to go into the settings and change from Normal to Burst Mode which takes time. Is it possible to get that feature in the future updates? Please? thanks
[G3 Android Development] speedingcheetah:
Yes..but setting noise reduction off in xcam disables all its other post processing adjustment settings and effects due to the way the driver works....far as aIl was told.
[G3 Android Development] zyasin:
same problem with my D855
[G3 Android Development] orlans21:
I figured it out. To fix it you have to turn off Normal mode raw.
[G3 Android Development] mekz77:
just bought the xcam settings app with DNG support, very nice, thank you! I have a few questions tho:

It seems the noise is quite heavy and the std camera engine does great work to process the noise, I could get better results by cranking the lightroom toogle all the way up while using the raw format. That seems strange as you should have the best noise cancelation with raw. Any solutions?

In the search result i found you couldn't add a timelapse feature to the xcam but that was quite time ago, would you give it a try?

What about an Intervalometer? Like that one Camera fv-5 offers? Would it be implementable?

That would be incredible.

[G3 Android Development] mekz77:
oh yes, I get the advantages with the raw format and that is why I want to use it very bad but cannot because of the noise.

Have a look @ my 2 sample pictures:

Do you have any idea why the raw pics are so noisy? like shooting at 52k iso on my dslr.

Your second raw picture doesn't have that much amount of noise.

Please zoom into my sample pictures and have a look yourself.

Geotagging in panorama mode?

Last weekend, I was in Oostburg, Wisconsin, and took a few snapshots. The ones shot in normal and HDR mode were properly geotagged, but a panorama shot had its longitude flipped from negative to positive. This resulted in the picture being placed near Urumqi, Xinjiang, China (a little bit off). Pictures are linked (not inlining them since they're rather big):

HDR

Panorama
[G3 Android Development] :
There is no post-processing and noise reduction, so it is the image directly as the sensor takes it.
[G3 Android Development] luigisvc:
Unfortunately the raw is noisy. My pictures has a lot too.

What I noticed is if you turn noise reduction off and lower the sharpness and the contrast, you get a less noisy image. After in lightroom post processing you add some contrast and sharpen, and use the noise reduction built in Lightroom, for me it worked.

Also my image has many textures and contrasty colors, it disguise the noise. Some situations unfo cannot be handled.

[MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION], hello!

Sorry for the trouble, but I have I one question.

Would you plan to add support LG G Flex 2, because it has absolutely identical camera as LG G3, but your app doesn't start.

I really love your camera and settings apps on my LG G2 now.

Loss of Zoom

Anyone else experiencing or able to reproduce this issue?

Camera mode set to Intelligent Auto... Switch to camcorder mode, and record a normal 30fps video, and zoom while recording... Stop recording, and switch back to camera mode.. Now zoom works, but the resulting photo is NOT zoomed in... I have reinstalled the app, and this did correct the issue...Until I recorded video with zoom again. I can reproduce this issue with every fresh install... Anyone else?
[G3 Android Development] xdabbeb:
Hey dude. I believe the GFlex2 has cam2 api, no? If so, this won't work properly with it. I know the sensor is the same, but the underlying driver/framework is very different.

Yes, I did. LG only broke the audio with their LP fw. Hopefully they fix it with future releases.

This has been discussed previously. Turn Noise Reduction back on. Turning it off bypasses all post-processing...including zoom (the device doesn't have optical zoom).
[G3 Android Development] tribalartgod:
Apologies for not catching the previous discussion on this... It's important to note tho... Even with NR turned off, this only ever becomes an issue AFTER using the camcorder function... So long as I don't use the camcorder at all (after fresh install), I can keep NR turned off, and zoom works as it should, even in the saved photo... I'll turn on NR for now, until I am able to get this recorded somehow to show you..
[G3 Android Development] xdabbeb:
No worries at all. I haven't been able to get one of my G3 testers to reproduce what you're describing, however. Basically, it's just related to the NR setting for them. It may look like it's working on the preview when it's off, but the resultant photo has no zoom...which is as it should be with NR off.
[G3 Android Development] tribalartgod:
So I wiped my phone and reinstalled everything fresh and now the issue is resolved, except for with NR off as you have stated... It was either a fluke with my ROM or I was just an idiot... I'll take one for the team this time and blame it on myself. LOL. Thanks for not flaming me to death and replying quick. :D

Force Close with too much BRIGHT

I had a terrible experience in a concert. I was recording a video (at night) but when the lights turns on (full white) on the stadium the video gave me a FC.:p

So I tried to replicate the issue several times and in dark conditions when the lights changes suddenly from dark to extremely white the aplication show a FC (also with the stock camera).:eek:

So maybe is a framework issue from stock camera. ;)

Anyone else had the same behavior?? Thank you.

I am on KK. stock with CloudyG3.
[G3 Android Development] vojkan22:
If you disable noise reduction, and with that post-processing all together, then yes. If you don't, then close, but not identical. G3 still has slightly better (less aggressive) noise reduction algo and more accurate white balance.

Hello again. Now I know that LG G Flex 2 has full camera api2 support. Can you port Xcam for our device?

I test it on manual camera that work with cam api 2 and all work like a charm, I can change iso, shutter speed, save raw photos in dng format, but I love Xcam...so maybe in the future you will port it for g flex 2. I can test it.
[G3 Android Development] SyCoREAPER:

[G3 Android Development] :
I didn't see any difference when changing the shutter speed in photo settings. Fastest and slowest looked the same in any mode.
[G3 Android Development] SyCoREAPER:
One thing consistently does not work for me in xCam.

The regular camera mode (with/without) flash. It thinks it takes a picture but doesn't do "processing" and save. Just nothingness. HDR and other modes seem fine.

On a stockbased rom which has all of the LG proprietary camera crap intact so I'm not sure why it's not working.
[G3 Android Development] OffDatGoGo:
I've noticed this a few times lately too. I'm on the stock LP 5.0.1 ROM which is rooted and debloated with Gabriel kernel flashed into it.

Thought it was just me because I'd be wearing nitrile gloves and taking pictures for work. I'd go in the gallery from within the camera app and the picture wouldn't be there. Sometimes, when I exit out of the camera and then go into QuickPic it would take a couple seconds longer to load but then the picture that I thought didn't take would be there. Again, sometimes because other times it simply never took the shot.

All this to say..... me too.

[MENTION=3084965]OnMy2ndGP[/MENTION] [MENTION=1506211]SyCoREAPER[/MENTION] I can't reproduce this, so could you please email a log along with the exact steps you took. I've had a lot going on IRL for the past two weeks but am hoping to have some time later this week to work on XCam.

Yes, that sounds like the driver is crashing as a result of AE. Unfortunately, there's nothing an app can do about that.

If you're doing it in good/outdoor lighting, it won't as the driver will already be selecting much faster shutter speeds. If it was in a dark room, you'll have to provide a lot more detail.

Many computers can't play back 60fps videos properly.

As for the original question, the driver determines when there is enough light to allow the higher frame rate. Yes, it was different in KK. It was also a different driver.

As for the new 5.1.1 and raw; there is in fact an issue and I'm looking into it.

A general note not directed at just one person...if you have a problem, post a log or (better still) email me. Simply writing "it doesn't work" here (even more pointless in a review) is unproductive, doesn't help anyone, and will most likely be ignored.
