After Lollipop update this method doesn't work anymore

Alter the update to Lollipop app version (= material design) is not possible to use BuildProp method, even if you are on KitKat OS.

Shooting in burst mode still give images with no wavelet noise reduction in the new version of the camera. The possibility is there, what changed is only the way to get it.

My DU ROM with xperiance kernel is already set to this but good to kno !!
[Moto G General] GodOfPsychos:
There are more unavailable (greyed out in this case) options

ok guys. i went to the Moto G 2014 (2 Gen.) forum and downloaded the Moto G's (2 Gen.) pre-installed version of the camera app.

if you wann check it out Click here

guess what. i found a bunch of features, but sadly they are all greyed out but one which is called "Multi shot capture rate". Screenshots below

[Moto G General] GodOfPsychos:
DAYUM! "Bring this guy some hot Bi***es, he deserved it" xD just some interpretation that i am really amazed by your work, sir :D

btw. At the moment the camera is still not that good compared to other 5 mpix cameras. In my opinion, Android L could be really helpful for the quality for our camera, because it could get the max quality out of our Moto G. I mean that, because of the whole new camera API with it's improvements and the feature to take "RAW" Images (which would show us the true power, what the camera module has to offer without any software noise reduction or compressing or some other things that would reduce quality). Am i right?
[Moto G General] GodOfPsychos:
btw. the more interesting part for me is to make all features accessable like i mentioned a few posts back. i mean the features from the play store version and the Moto G's (2 Gen.) pre-installed version which are greyed out or not even available. the problem for me is that i am not good at modding or stuff like that. i tried to "port" the features by editing the decompiled camera app's .xml files like bools.xml, public.xml and strings.xml. But after an hour i gave up, because the public- and strings.xml files were a little bit to much for my knowledge. The bools.xml file was almost too easy to edit, since there are only "true" and "false" values. but after looking at the other .xml files, i recocnized that the bools.xml isn't the key for getting all those "still" hidden features accessable.

You should thank [MENTION=5775403]GodOfPsychos[/MENTION] for discovering this, not me. He has opened the way for motorola to see what's wrong with the moto G's camera. I only did some examples for them to see.

I've registered there, I've posted there, I've mailed the pictures to the email address designated for this particular issue on their forums, now we have to wait for them to answer. Some moderators have seen the post and only deleted the link back to this XDA thread for what I now see as obvious reasons, but left the rest of the content untouched. It's a nice signal.

https://forums.motorola.com/posts/e2f2722bfc?commentId=808803#808803

If they are a sensible company then they'll take into account these findings and admit they've screwed up, and make up for it in the next update. They've promised for it to improve, but they now know it can be improved even more. If not, then bye motorola, you're not getting my money next time.

You're right. With the module's RAW output you can do whatever you want, and you can do it better than what the phone itself can do simply because you have lots of processing power available that you don't have in a phone... that means better software to do the processing, and better end results.

But you're right, still, with these improvements, this phone's camera is still sub par compared to others in some things... for macros and close ups it's quite decent... the problem arises when you try to take a picture of something not too close... once you get at 100% zoom it's not pretty yet when seen as is, the pictures themselves are quite fine and pleasant to the eye. It's quite a good camera when you fight the urge not to zoom in for ultra fine detail.

Trying to get pixel level detail from a camera phone at this price range is nitpicking. My Galaxy S Advance in that regard is excellent, one of the best 5MP shooters I've ever seen, with manual camera controls and all the stuff, and quality leaps and bounds over what the G can do. Samsung's cameras are remarkable in comparison.

We can only wait for motorola to do something to make up for this, it's on their hands now.

Know someone what is ALTM? When I tap on it, only empty window pops up with Cancel button.
[Moto G General] GodOfPsychos:
idk either. the ALTM popup window is also empty for me. i think it is a just an empty entry that used to be a feature but got cancelled for unknown reasons. at least this is what think.
[Moto G General] OldYellowBricks:
All these features that im supposed to disable are grayed out on a CM11 based ROM (CrDroid build 18 to be specific). I guess this is normal and expected? And stock rom would have all those features not greyed out.
[Moto G General] GodOfPsychos:
tho rom has nothing to do with greyed out options. it is related to the camera apk which you have installed. i explained that here
[Moto G General] OldYellowBricks:
Oh okay. I was under the impression that versions varied by Moto G generation type only. So there's also variance in app type too (pre installed vs google play version). Got it!

[Moto G General] Linkmet95:
Thank you, it worked but is there a possibility of the latest apk with ladybug+manual exposure control?
[Moto G General] S0bes:
You can set up manual exposure on the setting wheel as far as I know

It is turned off by default
[Moto G General] federico72:
S0bes, thanks for this apk. Is the only one working on stock 5.1 on my Moto G LTE 2013. Even if we are faaaaaaaar away from a good camera is a step closer.
[Moto G General] S0bes:
You're welcome.

Could you suggest any settings I must disable/enable to get better photos on lollipop?
[Moto G General] federico72:
Sadly, no. I've disabled both QC Denoise and QC Tinless, are really the only two settings that made a bit o difference.

A little off topic: my wife bought a Redmi2 and the quality of his 8MP camera is impressive: snappy and really well balanced for a cheap price. I've compared some shoots of the Redmi 2 with some of the Moto G 2015 on a store: dude the 13MP moto-camera doesn't look good as the Xiaomi on phone screen. I didn't compare it on my PC, I was unable to teethering them on my phone. What a pity.

Let see now if (finally) with Lollipop things will be better, the camera is the only thing I don't like on my LTE 2013, probably I'll wait a little more to see if Motorola will enhance it before selling my phone. For now let us enjoy this little enhancement! :)
[Moto G General] Anandp:
Great and thank u.

But I had 1 doubt where is the megapixel setting? and every time i click the picture it crashes again need to relaunch it very sad :(
[Moto G General] Danilo-Sanchez:
Could you teach us how to clone camera app and enable the advanced settings? To do this we need to have root access? If yes, then it's easier to use your Xposed module.
[Moto G General] S0bes:
To install apk you do not have to be rooted

To clone apk by yourself you need your PC and some knowledges about editing apk files
[Moto G General] Danilo-Sanchez:
Ok. Nevermind, I didn't want to clone apk anyways lol (just kidding).

Now, talking seriously, I think I'll use your xposed module to use advanced settings then. Now my question is: Your module will work for the next updates of moto cam?
[Moto G General] S0bes:
Depends on what changes Motorola will make. I can't tell you for sure. They can change name of the package and it will enough to make my module not workable. I don't even know whether module's working now or not. It's been a while since I used this module or xposed at all

But despite all things I said above I think module will work fine with camera updates
[Moto G General] Danilo-Sanchez:
Can you tell me which option do I have to change in the apk?
[Moto G General] S0bes:
I can not remember it right now. I might be wrong but you should look for DeveloperSettings.smali file or smth like that inside decompiled apk. In that file you should find isMenuEnabled procedure (again I might be wrong with the exact name) and edit it so it will return always true.

P.S

Are we talking about camera apk or xposed module?
[Moto G General] Danilo-Sanchez:
Ok. Thank you. I'll try it when Motorola updates its camera app. Untill that I'll use your version.
[Moto G General] Chaninoza:
None of this worked :( i'm on identity crisis 5.1 rom (moto g 2013). Any idea how to get that ladybug working?

new moto g3 2015

Is it working for new moto g3? Thanks in advance.
[Moto G General] Danilo-Sanchez:
Try to install the last apk from here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62254407&postcount=416.

The worst that can happen is the apk doesn't install. So, try it and tell us if it works for Moto G 3rd Gen.
[Moto G General] ranaxda200:
It works in moto g3

Yes it works. Samples are almost same. BTW disabled all noise. Can you please recommend other feature settings to improve pic quality?
[Moto G General] Danilo-Sanchez:
On Moto G 2nd Gen I disable QC Denoise and QC Tinless and it seems that on Moto G 1st Gen the best results is disabling the same options.

On Moto G 3rd Gen I think it's the same options that can change the picture quality for better, but I think that Moto G 3 may have some extra options.

Another thing that you can try is to use another camera app to test if Moto G 3rd Gen has Camera2 API compatibility. That can improve the quality.
[Moto G General] ranaxda200:
No support for camera 2 API in moto g3. What is other good camera app for this device.
[Moto G General] Danilo-Sanchez:
One app that I like to use on my Moto G2 is Snap Camera HDR.
[Moto G General] ranaxda200:
Okay will try it. Thanks.

just to clarify bar code thing. I have edited a method inside apk to allow camera do that. It's not enough just to unveil lady bug as usually.

Not that bad - it's marketing, they earn money by telling you that your phone is not that good - go get moto x and you'll have it all... Pure marketing. Samsung, for example does it on smart tv s - If you go to service menu you could unlock all the functions of stronger models..
[Moto G General] jona_spdr:
Yes, I know, but I thought that Motorola was different. I think that this kind of decisions are not good for customers. I understand that our Moto will not update to 6.0 but I don't understand not to active this option for all model....it is ridiculous...

[Moto G General] S0bes:
That's not the first time motorola does things like that.

For example FM radio. This application was able to stream station through the speaker but this feature wasn't activated. When 2nd moto G had been rolled out Motorola have updated the radio so it could do speaker but only for moto 2nd gen.

There was a piece of code closed to:

...

IsSpeakerSupported(boolean)

{

If device is Titan

Return true

Else

Return false}

...

And finally not so long ago motorola have been updated radio app so now no matter which moto G you have you can listen to the radio through the speaker.

I think we shoul point on that bar code thing somewhere on official motorola forum...

It worked. Thanx

Only thing I would change... is the name.

Now both app icons (the stock and your mod) are named "Kamera".

The other/older mod had it named "Kamera+" to differentiate it from stock app, because both apps can be installed side by side.

Also when the app choser is popping up ("open with...") I have to guess now which one would be the right one.
