I honestly haven't spent much time looking at computer programs for playback. Maybe VLC? Others who do more w/video might have better suggestions.

RE: Log...someone already emailed me one yesterday, but you're welcome to as well. The crash is due to a bug in my dng conversion library (which I have fixed), but there is still an issue with getting raw itself that I'm looking into. I'm going to be away next week so don't expect something immediately.

I'm not sure what app that file is for, but there is no such thing for XCam.
[G3 Android Development] jurington:
Ok I won't worry about getting a log since you've already got one. And I'll wait it's not a big deal since I know your work is amazing, and thank you for all your hard work too. :)

my bad, sorry about that, I actually meant media_profiles.xml file, to many xml's in my mind from various things in last couple of weeks :eek:

Regarding XCam, I am only curious to see if anyone actually succesfully recorded a video with 60fps option without modifying media_profiles.xml

my videos always starts with 60fps in first second and than rapidly drops to 30fps, stock, 20u rom here
[G3 Android Development] DE52:
[MENTION=388213]banesi[/MENTION] Back in august I successfully recorded a 60fps 1080p video lol. I have the D852 (canadian G3), cloudy 2.5 and the latest version of XCam (stable). I can even screenshot the properties page of the video (its on my computer) and windows media player plays it back successfully (I'm on windows 8.1). I also had gabriel kernel at the time. Never had any issues (filmed several 60fps videos).
[G3 Android Development] banesi:
^^ it doesn't count what is written in properties of a video file, you have to play video in some video player and try to find option to see real time fps, for example, you can do this using Media Player Classic - Home Cinema player and while playing video press CTRL-J

From what I am reading around, G3 can record videos UP TO 60fps depending on a scene and lighting, unfortunately device is not capable of locking and keeping steady 60fps.

EDIT:

ok, just some final notes regarding high frame rate recording:

720p and 1080p 60fps recording is possible only if scene is well-lit or you are outside on a clear sunny day, video get's locked at steady 60fps producing nice and fluid results but as soon as you enter darker room or shade, fps get dropped down to 30fps to compensate for brightness

if you need a constant, fluid, no compromise fps video, use 720p 120fps option, it will lock frame rate to 120fps no matter how dark or bright scene is, obviously this may produce darker videos
[G3 Android Development] DE52:
Alright, I'll check it out later and check the results. I was in a well lit situation though.
[G3 Android Development] raven213:
I have a d850 and in stock lp 5.0.1 i can record at 60fps anywhere but on kk or 5.0 i go from 60 to 30 to 40

[G3 Android Development] noidman123:
Question for G3 XCam users. Does anyone use the RAW mode in XCam settings? Cause I do and I need a way to actually view and edit them. Currently I use snapseed (go into es file explorer, find the dng, tap it, open with snapseed) but as you can see it's been processing for 8 mins lol and choosing share instead of done just makes snapseed close.
[G3 Android Development] DE52:
You might've forgotten by now, but in any case, here's the proof that 60FPS works fine for me with no modification (and while running CloudyG3). This is the video from august in relatively good light I was talking about. I watched the whole video and the fps varied from 55 to 60.x depending on the situation. Never had any sudden frame drops down to 30 like how you were describing earlier. Then again, our software was different and video situations were different (you said you were running 20u I think and cloudy was based on 20p). In any case, just following up 18 days late (totally forgot to do it with school and everything). You were right about it not being perfect 60fps the whole time, but 5-10 fps isn't that bad in my opinion. Anyway, hope you got it working better than before now on whichever software you use.

Workaround for geotagging issue in panorama mode

I'm running XCam on a G Stylo, and (as mentioned earlier in-thread) discovered that geotagging had a longitude sign-flipping issue in panorama mode (example: a picture taken in Wisconsin getting placed in China). If you want to fix the tag in-phone, there's a nice little app simply called Photo exif editor that will let you easily edit the EXIF tags in your images. You can fix geotags via a map (and can switch to the satellite image if you need better detail).

I noticed that the timestamps on some of my panoramas were also corrupted, and the editor fixed those nicely as well.
[G3 Android Development] justyourimage:
I don't know if you know FreeD-Cam but it has a very nice option for setting the exposure on-the-fly similiar to manual focus. It works on the G3 for me so I guess it could be implemented in XCam as well. Maybe for donators which have the settings app installed - its a really really usefull feature to quickly adjust every shots exposure on the fly without messing in the settings. Cheers!
[G3 Android Development] xdabbeb:
That's been there from the beginning. It's just called brightness.
[G3 Android Development] justyourimage:
I know that you can control the relative exposure already like this but what I'm talking about is setting the exposure messurement-base by using the onscreen hud (similiar to how manual focus works)
[G3 Android Development] Snoob25:
A question/curiosity/feature request:

Is it possible to have notification vibration disabled automatically while using xcam?
[G3 Android Development] Kappa Lamda:
I have on problem with this Camera app. I cannot access Gallery from inside app cause I use another app for Gallery(quick Pic). Is there anything I can do to fix this?
[G3 Android Development] Reli4nth:
You need to have stock gallery installed & active. Then, on XCam click on the gallery square and it lets you choose quickpic as default gallery.
[G3 Android Development] xdabbeb:
Ah, I believe when you say manual focus you're actually talking about tap to focus...not manual. In which case you're saying what you actually want is spot metering? If so, that's something I'd like to implement when I have time. Please keep in mind that since I'm working without source or the benefit of an ide, implementing new features (though clearly possible as I've been doing so) is more difficult and time consuming. It's just the trade-off for the OEM cam speed/UI.
[G3 Android Development] Willo13B:
hey crew any way I can get xcam to save pics to internal memory even when an external SD card is present? right now is not saving anything because I believe it's trying to save to the external card, thanks! I did get the donate version but did not see any setting in there to change save location.
[G3 Android Development] justyourimage:
Yep that was what I wanted to say. :)
[G3 Android Development] xdabbeb:
There's an option in the camera app itself for changing storage. Just tap the gear icon.

OK, good...and to further clarify, you actually already have spot metering, but it's tied to the spot/tap focus. What I'd eventually like to do is implement a lock or separate bracket.

I've extracted the attachment from a much larger logcat recorded earlier today on another XCam force close. Among the many entries for XCamlg are some suggesting there may be something strange going on with Marshmallow permissions for XCam despite the settings for it in Apps.

Thanks for the first actual log...much more useful than "DOESN'T WORK!!! FIX NOW!" which is all I've gotten to this point. My variant (vs985) doesn't have M yet, so I'll also need someone who is willing to run test builds, take logs, and get back to me promptly. If you can do this, get in touch via email, not pm. It does appear that this is simply due to framework changes LG made for M.

Thanks again for your help here @troopii ...Happy new year again, dude!

EDIT: In the meantime, if you need to use M, you'll have to be patient and wait for an update. Don't post about it here anymore.
[G3 Android Development] js1970:
Hi xdabbeb! First of all, I wish you and all of the "threadders" a great 2016! Then, congratulate you for this very, very good camera app, as I am new here... And finally, as you are going to "mess around" with the app (because of the marshmallow compatibility issues), wouldn't it be possible to add the option to have zoom in the front facing camera? I have the "lgCamera pro" app, and it has this function, which can be very useful in certain situations... The app itself has very ugly icons, but has this thing that I would love to have in xcam... Maybe it isn't even possible, but can you consider this and give it a try?

Just another thing I realized it's missing from the stock LG G3 camera, you can't swipe the screen to toggle between the front and rear camera. This is also a nice feature to have, and because we are (almost) still in Christmas, maybe it would be possible for you to add this feature...

Cheers!

[G3 Android Development] Motawa88:
can you make it compatible with 1080p resolution (set to OS) for 5.1.1?
[G3 Android Development] noidman123:
I have a small feature request. Or more of just a question of whether or not it's possible: but would it be possible to add in the option to save pictures in .png format? It's an option I use a lot with Camera FV-5, but overall I prefer xcam. It's helpful for when you want less compression and quality loss than .jpeg, but you don't exactly need .dng either.
[G3 Android Development] xdabbeb:
As long as the driver/framework in that rom hasn't been altered it should be a valid test platform. When I get my G3 (vs985) back from the friend I lent it to I can do this myself, but if you're willing to do so now and help test, it would certainly be appreciated. Get in touch via email if so, as I'm hoping to have more time this week to dig through it all. So far I only have 2 people willing to test ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I know Android certainly has the ability, but the question is whether my free time would allow for it. I'll certainly keep it in mind, however.
[G3 Android Development] justyourimage:

[G3 Android Development] itenos:
Just to add some info for debugging. I upgraded to stock 6.0 today and when I opened Xcam it did not force close like everybody here stated.

It showed though that SD card was mounted read only.

And it greyed out the shutter button so no pictures could have been taken.

As I was in dynamic HDR mode, I tried to switch to normal mode and boom, it FC on me like on everybody else...

I'm available for testing if you need me.

G3 M update #2:

Actually having the ability to run M certainly makes this all a lot easier :) I've got all issues but one resolved. As I'm sure many have read/seen, there were a lot of changes to the storage subsystem with M that is going to require a bit more reworking in XCam. I'm just trying to think of what my best approach is. As I mentioned in my earlier update, I'm just going to post a QuickFix version of the apk on XDA when it's ready, but I'll announce it here as well.﻿
[G3 Android Development] y0000:
Its possible the new Xcam version for M support new UI? like G3? or G4? Or some other new UI?
[G3 Android Development] xdabbeb:
This won't be happening for the coming release, but I can't say what the future holds.

[MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] What is jpeg compression for free Xcam Lg Settings v1.6.5? I have LG G3 unrooted and downloaded lollipop apk file from OP.
[G3 Android Development] xdabbeb:
Public M BETA posted in OP. A few notes...

SD CARD ACCESS:

Due to the fact that Google changed external storage (yet again) with M, the only way to get external sd card write access is by installing XCam as a system app. If you're rooted, that's not a problem. Just flash the zip provided in the OP after first uninstalling any existing version. If you are NOT rooted, install the apk version as usual. If you have a sd card installed you will need to manually switch to internal storage as your external storage will report as read-only. I can't say if there will be an option for non-rooted users at this time as all of the workarounds are far less than ideal. Using SAF/DocumentsProvider is slower and so isn't a good solution for a camera app that needs to write large bytestreams quickly. Using the app-specific getExternalFilesDir is flawed as the minute the app is uninstalled, your photos are deleted. And before you suggest it...NO, simply providing a warning to people that this is a consequence is not an acceptable solution as you won't be the one fielding the rants of those who lost a year's worth of photos. It would be irresponsible to do this. I will continue to look into a viable alternative, however. If anyone has any insight into this, please EMAIL me.

KNOWN ISSUES:

Occasional rotation and surfaceview shuffling UI glitches (the multi-window focus rectangles and grid will get tucked behind the preview). I will look into these, but they are just cosmetic. Tapping the screen puts it in order

Screen lux ---> Max similarly won't kick in until you tap the screen somewhere. Likely related to the first.

I had to dumb down burst mode (now called continuous shot). It only takes 6 photos at a lower res for now. This is a low-priority fix, however.

Please let me know what other issues you encounter, but ONLY with clear instructions to reproduce ALONG with a log. Thanks!

There is no "free" settings app, so you're using a pirated copy. If you want to support development, you can get the app from the play store.

If on a DPI less than stock DPI (say, 550 vs. stock 640), the preview in the camera is cropped in from the right. I know this has been a challenge in the past with many other cameras, so I'm sure it'll get worked out. Screenshot and logcat attached.
