Bulsh*t of the month/year? :fingers-crossed: Only way to reveal the potencial of any and I mean ANY camera HW is to shoot RAW only! You can say Lg stock camera is bad and I will agree but not talk about HW whenn you didnt see pure RAW data. Just look at the samples I shot with the best android camera for photo enthusiasts: Mi2raw camera which is capable of capturing pure DNG files without freaky Lg jpeg engine, which is IMHO the worst I ever seen. I took indoor photos on ISO400-800 so dont blame the small sensor of more noise, no such a small sensor will perform any better. Still great results in todays mobile photography. Even Xdabbed camera which is great contribution cannot match results from RAW data and personal approach for photography. One minute for one photo and the results are uncomparable.

Anyone tried porting the Pixelmaster camera app from the various Asus Zenfones? It takes really incredible low light photos by reducing resolution to 2 megapixels and it is awesome (the only reason I fell envious of my brother's otherwise mediocre zenfone 5). Check here too, someone had plans of porting but not sure what happened to him since... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2712403
[G2 General] kultus:
Why should I want 2Mpx photos from 13Mpx camera? From 13Mox->2Mpx I will do awesome photos too! :p 2Mpx=fullHD , 2160p=4K got it? Rather show us those amazing photos ;)
[G2 General] jimakos29:
again. it takes normal pics at full resolution, then there is a night mode which takes very very nice pics in dark situations at full resolution (better than almost any other phone out there) and then there is a special night mode that reduces pic resolution to 2 megapixels, but boy those night pics are the best I have ever seen.... Check this for example. and no worries about zenfone 5 camera being 8 megapixels. the zenfone 6 has 13 and same software...

[G2 General] 60nine:
so you still live in a world where more megapixels mean better images? :)

i.e. see why HTC went for lower mpx in its flagship devices...

about my "bullsh*t of the year"... do some reading and know some basics of the digital photography...

i never said that LG G2 camera is bad, read my post again & read hardware tech specs of the other devices...

i like the mi2raw app very much (see my posts there in the app thread) - it's the best thing that happened to this device considering the camera/photo...

and i think LG G2 camera hardware can do much more - especially on the strange "painted like" image compression effect which i hate so much...

i'd say - LG G2 is close, but no cigar ;)
[G2 General] staticx57:
Because of RAW the G2 is one of the top android cameras, that is true. However, the flagship Lumia devices also shoot RAW.
[G2 General] kultus:
Yes I know, iphone can shoot RAW too, so android is behind somehow... ;)

60nine: Ive read everything you've written, thats why I had to react. ;) I know a lot about photography, HW a more, so Im OK. Thanks. And about pixels, even 8Mpx iphone camera is worse than 16Mpx SGN4 camera so give me a break...HTCs cameras are the worst from the biggest flagship manufacturers. HTCs cameras lags of detail and lost every shootout with competition. And I will tell you something, you will need at least 2160p for viewing on upcoming 4K display devices...so now the pixels matters. I know that more pixels suffers from dynamic range and more noise, but it will be hidden in more Mpx photo with good postprocess. So if you find comparison between IP6 and LG G2 in RAW at same settings and same scene and IP6 will be better, youll have my respect and appologies.
[G2 General] 60nine:
i won't bother answering to a person who thinks more mpx means better images (on a same sized sensor), so cheers...

raw is not for an average users anyway ;)
[G2 General] staticx57:
You know, there have been many advances in sensor technology that have allowed both more MP and higher quality images.
[G2 General] 60nine:
sure, i agree, but not much in mobile phone sensor world...

i'd personally rather have 8mpx larger sensor in g2 than the current smaller 13mpx one
[G2 General] kultus:
Times are changing, dont miss it :D e.g. Sony 24Mpx sensor in A6000 have better dynamic range and less noise than 20Mpx and 16Mpx sensors in NEX and lowend Axxx cameras. So where is yours old fashion words about megapixels. Do you have any evidence that 4Mpx camera in HTC One is better than 13Mpx camera in G2, SGS4...etc.? All you can see is mobile manufacturer postprocesing software, nothing else. And I will tell you again, only DNG postprocess from one scene with the same conditions will reveal the truth. SGS4 and Lg G2 has the same camera sensor, but I like SGS4s picture more because of the camera SW processing. I posted some evidence, what Lg camera SW did to the pictures, just think about it. If I even pushed the noise reduction to 100% my pictures will be always better than from Lg itself. Your turn...

PS: I will have iphone 6 and Lg G2 on christmass so I will do some DNGs from both and compare them side by side...then we will see...
[G2 General] 60nine:
okay... you continue to talk about raw...

we're talking about an average user with average camera knowledge who will mostly shoot pictures with stock camera app or some of 3rd party camera apps from the store...

you've mentioned a Sony A6000 which is a mirorless (almost dslr like but compact size) camera and built to be a camera - not a mobile phone device... and it has a sensor which is 4 times bigger than average mobile device sensor...

let's talk about numbers (see screenshot)

on the left side is LG G2 - in the middle is HTC ONE (M8) - on the right side is iPhone 5S

LG puts 13mpx on a bit smaller sensor than HTC and iPhone use (iphone has 8mpx / htc has 4mpx)

further more - LG G2 lens is less light sensitive (F2.4 vs htc's F2.0 & iphone's F2.2)

on paper that would mean that HTC & iPhone have more sharper images, are more sensitive in dark conditions etc... what LG G2 does on i.e. ISO800 - HTC will do on ISO200 with less noise...

don't get me wrong, maybe i didn't find the right words earlier - i agree on the technical inprovement in the last few years - but mobile device manufacturers tend to up the mpx size without uping the senzor size - and that's where my point is... (mostly because of keeping the device sizes fairly small)

the point of my post(s) is

LG G2 would be much better in camera terms if it had 8mpx sensor (while keeping the sensor size) - also, something fishy is happening with LG image postprocessing (i'm talking about average stock camera & camera mods, not mi2raw) - especially on the noise reduction part...

that's also why many people expected from LG to up the sensor size on G3, but that didn't happen... they've kept the old 1/3.06" one with same specs...

to sum things up

more megapixels - yes, always - but if the sensor size can match it

unfortunately i currently have only LG G2, old LG Optimus 2x and gf's old Sony Xperia so i can't do much about image comparison...

peace :) and i hope we all learned something from this thread

ps:

i like G2 photos more than Samsung S4's ;)
[G2 General] staticx57:
I know a lot of what you are saying is exaggerating to make a point, but the reality is that the sensors aren't as different as you make them sound. Further more, the aperture difference is very small as well. It is more like ISO 800 on the G2, ISO 700 on the iPhone, and ISO 600 on the HTC. The fact is, they all look like puke on such small sensors. Each sensel on my Canon 6D is 33 times bigger than the one on my G2. The iPhone has sensels 1.7 times larger. The difference is negligible. In fact, my Lumia 1020 with the same size pixels as the G2 creates much better images, and I processed them both in RAW. In fact if you are serious about camera phones you are better off with a Lumia, especially one with a Xenon strobe and native RAW.
[G2 General] kultus:
Thats right static. Thank you, you were faster The difference between f2.4 vs. f2.0 is not even 1 stop more like 2/3 stops (1stop difference= f2.0 vs f2.8)! So if you are so experienced maybe you should read everything all again ;) No offence, but the difference in size, aperture -> picture IQ in this segment is minimal, the IQ is more influenced by lens quality than aperture(a little higher ISO). And as Im saying again and again, the major difference is in processing SW!!! Lumia 1020 is very good example of the "megapixels thing", it has big sensor but with huge resolution beats them all althought the pixel size is as small as in competition. So resolution still won. Paper data and measurements like DxO are useless in real life, think about it. Its the same like benchmarks for cell phones HW, I dont care how much my phone did in antutu or velamo, I care if its usable in normal life (fast, resonsible, lagless...). So be real dont live on paper :cool:
[G2 General] jimakos29:
btw since I am a noob on mobile photography, what can be done about this really annoying "painted like" effect on our beloved g2?
[G2 General] 60nine:
so far - only raw shooting with mi2raw helps on that matter...

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamajikaciya:
I just flashed Lollipop images in my Nexus 5 devices I bought 5 days ago. I didn't used it before so it was a clean install. I'm not familiar with Android so I followed a procedure to flash. In this procedure it says I should unlock the bootloader for flashing. I did it. But now my bootloader remains unlocked.

1) Is that affect battery life?

2) May I fix it?

Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wakamatsu:
An unlocked bootloader won't affect battery. It's not necessarily something that needs to be "fixed" but it could be a potential security hole if someone gets his hands on your phone.

If your phone is rooted, download an app called bootunlocker from the play store to relock. If you're not, I believe the fastboot command to lock your bootloader is "fastboot oem lock".

Tonight, my friend and i wanted to root her phone... (Samsung Galaxy S2)

Unfortunately, not everything went as planed..

Files downloaded: Odin, SuperSU rooting, cm-11-20141119-NIGHTLY-i9100 and google apps and kernel..

First, we flashed kernel via Odin..then installed SuperSU from the recovery...Then the installation for Cyanogenmod11 failed...After that, the phone would not turn on..

Then, we downloaded firmware of the S2...flashed it via Odin..it stoped at 90-95% (or something like that)..and it said FAILED..

Then she turned off her phone..and the error appeared..“Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again“.

..She couldn't get pass that message..She turned of her phone, got the battery out for 10 sec.. She cant enter the download mode nor the recovery mode..

Please..i beg you for some help.. ..I would hope that this resolves with a successful fix..i wouldnt want to be responsible for anyone's phone nor do i wish to see her disappointed...

Thanks in advance

[MX Player] vivan000:
Theory:

Wiki -> YCbCr

Video is stored in yuv colorspace, and since displays are RGB you need to convert that yuv data into RGB. Colormatrix is a set of coefficients that are used in conversion process. To get correct colors you need to use a right colormatrix - colormatrix that was used to create that yuv data.

There're several standart colormatrixes: BT.601 ("SD"), BT.709 ("HD"), and new BT.2020 ("UHD", who cares about it). They are supposed to be used on corresponding sources (DVD - SD, BD - HD).

Border between SD and HD is not well defined, but "horizontal resolution <= 1024" is a common rule for defining SD (1024x576 is 16:9 PAL, while 1280x720 is a common HD resolution).

Ignoring the existence of colormatrixes (hardcoded BT.601) is a common problem of a lot of video-related software.

Issue: MX Player seems to be using BT.601 colormatrix for RGB conversion all the time, even on HD videos, which results in wrong colors.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chrisyroid:
Hey there. Something strange has been going on ever since I re-flashed my phone. When I flash the kernel/rom other than the stock one I get a duplicate Samsung logo when the phone boots. (phone displays Samsung logo, goes black for a second then displays again before boot) I've been flashing and reflashing ever since I got the phone and now I'm getting this. I can get into recovery and download mode just fine and other than that there don't seem to be any other problems. This is just weird. I'm wondering if there's a way to fix this. Also, I'm wondering how such a thing can happen in the first place. I've re-flashed twice now and the result is still the same.

[EDIT]

From what I understand, the boot screen file is located in param.lfs. I've read before that you can add a screen but how in the world would a re-flash cause a duplicate screen to appear? I had a failed kernal flash happen where i couldn't access the recovery and had to start over from scratch but that's happened before.

[UPDATE]

Just tried to mod the boot logo and found out it's requesting "gaudi_bootimage.jpg" twice. I have no idea what this means. Gonna go back in and re-flash the old one back in.
