Lockscreen shortcuts anyone?
[G3 Android Development] luizffgarcia:
Guys, i just realized that the stock camera app takes pictures waybetter than any AOSP cameras. Really, in poor light conditions the camera now is almost unusable...

Is this something that can be fixed? Is this driver related?

This is the only reason why i would consider going back to stock, tried to take a few pics yesterday and damn they sucked, if you turn HDR on it gets even worse!

Other than that this rom is near perfect :)
[G3 Android Development] Cuzz1369:
Use Google camera from the store.
[G3 Android Development] luizffgarcia:
Sorry, i forgot to say that i tried that one as well.

Are you getting decent pics in low light with that? HDR seem to be 100% broken for me...
[G3 Android Development] skiiermike:
Is there anyway to incorporate xcam to work? I use it and stock and it has a huge user following.
[G3 Android Development] shawnj0:
Cuzz great work. I said I'd report back. Been using candy5 for three days now and all I see is a awesome daily driver. Great work again. Dirty flashed the latest last night and the WiFi is perfect.

Can't wait to see how this ROM grows and matures in the future.

Thank you.
[G3 Android Development] luizffgarcia:
Look at this comparison.

Stock camera with poor light environment:

[G3 Android Development] shawnj0:
Solution is to download Google camera app from play store. Problem solved
[G3 Android Development] y2whisper:
My excuse is that I deleted it when I first put .82 on my device. And did a .82 backup not thinking this would happen. Whats worse is that after in all of my genius wiped internal including my stock ROM back up.

All a part of the ROM flashing game. Should have just done a clean flash like I originally planned. Did that am I'm back up now.
[G3 Android Development] zurny:
Well I can confirm that this ROM work on the D852G variant from Videotron. Thanks Cuzz1369 ! Only thing I noticed that is not working is my 5ghz wifi network is not detected, the 2.4ghz one is working fine though.
[G3 Android Development] Cuzz1369:
Really??? It works on the g?
[G3 Android Development] zurny:
Yup and I'm not the only one who as confirmed it.
[G3 Android Development] Cuzz1369:
A lit of people have confirmed it WON'T work. Did you flash d852 twrp or d852g twrp
[G3 Android Development] zurny:
I flashed the D852 twrp from here:

[RECOVERY][BUMPED][D855/D852] TWRP touch recovery 2.8.2.0 [12/13]
[G3 Android Development] Cuzz1369:
There is a 852g specific one. But I guess if it works for ya.
[G3 Android Development] zurny:
2 other users have confirmed it working in the 852g thread I started.

[G3 Android Development] Cuzz1369:
Good stuff.
[G3 Android Development] :
Delete. Wrong thread. I'm sorry.
[G3 Android Development] luizffgarcia:
Again, this horrible picture was taken using google camera from play store.

HDR is broken, quality is horrible, just test it comparing with stock...
[G3 Android Development] shawnj0:
Sorry I missed that. Right above my head
[G3 Android Development] Cuzz1369:
Buttons!!!!!!!!!! [emoji13]
[G3 Android Development] Cuzz1369:
That is the nature of ripping the OEM software off of a phone and putting a source built one on it. You end up losing some stuff. If you are happier on stock I suggest you stay there.
[G3 Android Development] luizffgarcia:
Thats not what i meant, stock rom sucks big time, will never be happy with that.

What i am wondering is, is the camera implementation something that will or can be improved in the future? Or it depends on some proprietary drivers or code and this will be it forever?
[G3 Android Development] Cuzz1369:
I don't know squat about stuff like that. The camera works and its not terrible. Just don't think it will ever be as good as stock.
[G3 Android Development] luizffgarcia:
Well, it works but not fully.

If you enable HDR in very low light and test it you will see that the picture turns almost black, which is the opposite of what HDR does. Its like the camera takes only one of the pictures it should for the many needed to proccess HDR...

Again, not complaining but stating what i found, maybe there is a simple fix for that, dont know...
[G3 Android Development] skiiermike:
I mentioned this a couple of posts back but it was overlooked. Is there a possibility to use the xcam lg software for the camera? It's already written and works better than stock.

I know nothing about coding so maybe it's not possible but I thought it was worth asking.
[G3 Android Development] ShroudOfAgony:
Afraid not, for now. XCam hasn't been ported to anything but stock so far. It's mostly because of dependencies which anything but stock doesn't require. But hey, you can hope ! This question would better be asked in the XCam thread.
[G3 Android Development] skiiermike:
Thanks and good to know. I'll certainly ask over there.
[G3 Android Development] bekham76:
Is there a way to save pictures in SD card instead of having a new folder named camera

Thx
[G3 Android Development] y2whisper:
Ugh i think i fixed This SD card problem.

It came back after I wiped and flashed CM12 was working for a bit but then it disappeared. Make sure you have the latest TWRP recovery I had 2.8.0. once i flashed the new version wiped and restored my .82 backup i was fine. Sucks that I lost my quick way back to stock but at least Candy is still good as a DD thanks again for your work OP.
[G3 Android Development] skiiermike:
Where did you get the new G3 version? I'm on 2.8.0.0 as well but when I search twrp D852 I can only find the same version.

Hey Cuzz could you use Papote3's boot/shutdownanimation for your ROM?

its a perfect stock lollipop animation.
[G3 Android Development] Cuzz1369:
We have our own boot animation. Just hasn't made its way in yet. I'll do my nest to include it in next release. You guys want it now?

Too bad, not ready for release yet. A couple bugs and I want this release to shine. Some very nice additions.

Nooo duude drink some beers and relax. No more coding bro, you've done enough for us.

But when i tried switching just the name and the address it worked for some reason? But gave me a really bad connection. What was i supposed to do to connect my data network? Please help!

Hello, thanks for all your work. I bit the bullet and everything works awesome.

Minor things...

1. Double tap doesn't always work

2. Suretap pay doesn't work doesn't recognize NFC sim card

3. TD bank doesn't recognize NFC pay

4. Sometimes loses wireless connection

Other than that... LP... Clean... No bloat were.... Heaven

[G3 Android Development] ElrosMinyatur:
Has anyone installed the Xposed framework on Lollipop or this version? I know that the dev for it has said that ART support is going to take a while, but I seem to get the impression that the CM12 variants are using nandroid still.
[G3 Android Development] droids4lyfe99:
Quick question, is the high heat mod included in this rom?

The mod is this: http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/general/mod-root-rid-lag-g3-t2819365

Well sorry? Jesus, you screenshotted a portion of the values. Not the entire thing. Shows you dont read either. Thanks anyway
[G3 Android Development] stevesin:
Nevermind
[G3 Android Development] tobitege:
Forget about Xposed for the time being. Also, are you mixing something up? ART and nandroid??
[G3 Android Development] ElrosMinyatur:
Ya, I did. I meant dalvick not nandoird.
[G3 Android Development] stevesin:
was going to say that the td app didn't support the g3, however noticed they updated their list of devices.

on a side note, I have noticed that the TD Mobile payment app, has never worked on anything other than stock.

IE. my S4 on stock rom, NFC payments would work, you could get into the mobile payment option on the td app. my s4 on CM11, would not.

Same as my HTC one m7

just my observation
[G3 Android Development] ElrosMinyatur:
Cuzz1369 I just noticed a possible bug in 0.8.2 12/13 release. When I try to change from MTP mode to Charge only it always flips back to MTP. I had USB debugging enabled and thought this might be the issue. It still happens with that off. Has anyone else experienced this when connected to their computer?
[G3 Android Development] rodnar77:
yup...

seems they (TD) don't like unofficial / rooted etc devices....

oh well...

but this ROM works awesome so far... very minor issues...
[G3 Android Development] tobitege:
Seems to be a CM bug, saw that in other ROMs as well. Can be a bit distracting, I then just open win explorer to see if the device is listed.
[G3 Android Development] crzygrmn:
You almost made me speechless. And you where asking for screen shot after I posted . i was just showing you the setting not to change to what MTS tells you.....
[G3 Android Development] kjwaugh:
How about including an option pre-set?

Cuzz,

Could you possibly include the hidden option (already enabled/disabled) to not receive the Lollipop OTA? It's going to cause some mayhem when it happens - perhaps we can head that off if possible. Just a suggestion.
[G3 Android Development] Helloworld294:
You're not going to since this is a completely different type of OS (although android but PURE) which is NOT connected to LG at all in any way.
[G3 Android Development] theonemax:
I always get stuck at the Android boot logo everytime I turn it back on.. I always end up re-flashing candy5 + gapps + super su. I'm getting tired of this; anyone got a fix?
[G3 Android Development] luizffgarcia:
Tested it and same results, HDR is not working.

I took the same picture with my old Nexus 5 and, my god the difference... I don't think we have any HDR at all at this point...
[G3 Android Development] Cuzz1369:
Well you are obviously doing something wrong before you reboot. Why don't you tell me what it is so I don't have to guess. Than I will say to avoid the bootloop problem don't do this. Problem solved.....have a nice day.
[G3 Android Development] theonemax:
I'm not, I'd know if I did something wrong.. I'm going to try a factory reset.
[G3 Android Development] ShroudOfAgony:
Most likely did something wrong. Make sure you are using the latest TWRP (Haven't tried CWM yet...).
[G3 Android Development] sean222:

[MENTION=5088242]Cuzz1369[/MENTION]

Hey Cuzz, i don't mean to annoy you with this subject, but although the camera is working fine 99% of the time seems like HDR really does not work, at all.

What is the nature of the change needed for the HDR to be implemented, is this something that can go to the bug list? Or this is something that we will never have because the camera drivers are needed?

I spent a good amount of time yesterday flashing Stock and Candy to take the same picture with both and HDR seems to be taking only the first picture with small aperture , so the picture gets almost black.

Thanks
[G3 Android Development] Cuzz1369:
I have nothing to do with the camera. Go bug cm.
[G3 Android Development] luizffgarcia:
Sorry, i was not aware that reporting a scenario after hours of testing was "bugging".

I will try to contact someone from CM team to report my findings, maybe they will consider the information useful instead of getting "bugged" by it...
[G3 Android Development] BWolf56:
First, be respectful.

Second, he has no power over it as it is based off CM.
[G3 Android Development] luizffgarcia:
First, i was not aware of the fact that this problem is in the CM side.

Second, do you think that this was respectful? "I have nothing to do with the camera. Go bug cm."

EDIT: You know what, forget i said anything. Even thou i am a member of this community since 2011 i sometimes forget how things work here, i am not a developer so i need to get used to be treated like shi*. Developers can run over whoever they want, be impolite whenever they want, the rest of the community has to just live with it...
[G3 Android Development] BWolf56:
You're getting your panties in a bunch over nothing. You're reading things the wrong way, I saw no disrespect in his post, he was simply straight forward about it.

It has nothing to do with being a dev or not, even dev started as regular users. Your report is useful, just posted it in the wrong place.
[G3 Android Development] Cuzz1369:
Wow dude, I didn't mean to be disrespectful towards you, you don't need to back at me like that. The simple fact of the matter is I am way too dumb to fix the camera. That why is said go bug CM(people much smarter than me)
[G3 Android Development] luizffgarcia:
Ok, sorry if i misunderstood what you meant. Is just that i dealt with some very rude devs here over the years, i kind of have no more patience for that.

I can see this was not the case thou :)
[G3 Android Development] Cuzz1369:
How much patience do you think I have with users who demand things to be fixed. Plenty of guides here on xda if you think you can do better.
[G3 Android Development] luizffgarcia:
I get what you are saying, that is why i never even ask for anything to be fixed. You can see in my post that i was just trying to provide information and find out if that is something that can be changed at all.

I'm still getting the bug where right after I unlock my phone everytime, my lte and location services and wifi persist together momentarily on the status bar.
[G3 Android Development] y2whisper:
Is that a bug? I thought it was just refreshing your location
[G3 Android Development] Lokiel13:
Well I wasn't sure. Is it normal for wifi and your data to keep being simultaneously on momentarily? Or is this something new in lollipop
[G3 Android Development] tobitege:
If you have Google Location Services enabled (see Google account settings or Location), this could be the reason. Big G is tracking you.
[G3 Android Development] Lokiel13:
Yep that seems to fix it by turning off Googles location services. Quite the shame since I do like getting local updates from google now :(
[G3 Android Development] tobitege:
Hmm... do you have in Candy's "Sound & notification" settings an option for "App notifications" listed? If so, you could try there to disable notifications for G Play Services maybe.

[G3 Android Development] kjwaugh:
Well the version I have is dated Dec 13

- No Buttons Menu item currently- .

This version is the "latest" version posted on the OP (Dec13). There are only 3 listed in there and this is the one that others must have downloaded. I understand that there was a "silent" update that replaced one I had earlier and it's build date was actually dated Dec 12. but it's file name was Dec 13 I think.

We will still wait patiently and repectfully for any more news. I'm sure that many are all rivetted by this startling piece of stupendous information. -;)

Hi guys, first off. thanks a lot for supporting the canadian version. Not too many options out there.

I was just wondering if there is a easy to follow tutorial out there where it explains how to make unofficial versions of roms released for other models eg 855, 850. I would be willing to spend some time every week to create roms to support fellow canucks eager to try out the others. someone had told me it's a little tedious but basically copy/paste.

sorry if this isn't the right place to talk about it.

happy holidays!
[G3 Android Development] sean222:
Not possible/stable. We need d852 official lollipop kernel signed by LG. Won't have that till lollipop officially drops on Canadian carriers. Correct me if I'm wrong :)

0.8.3 - 12/18/2014

- Reverted Dpi Changer...conflicts with built in su. Will bring it back when bug is resolved

- Added Custom HeadsUp options [thanks Slim]...Sound & notification

- Added PullDown header weather option...Candy Interface/Statusbar

- Added Lock screen Gestures security...Security/Screen lock

- Added Volume music controls...Candy Interface

- Tons of C5 under the hood improvements

- Added ALL Cm's new features (quite a few)

- TONS of Cm fixes and maintenance

- Added "Buttons Options" back (just power and home)

[G3 Android Development] sean222:
Running well :) Thanks!

What's the status of that FauxSound screenshot you posted before? Earphone speaker is weak on the G3. Needs to be boosted ;)

Because I think I remember on 0.8.2 in trickster I had a kernel option to change volume values (not sure if it actually worked) but now those settings are gone so something changed with the kernel.

Progress coming along great. Still the best D852 Rom out there :D

You deserve it, my hope is that yes, we will get our flashing fix sooner and sooner. Sounds a little selfish but we are all about you being enabled to provide us with food for our little addiction. I'm hooked. On a more relevent note th developer options allow us to enable the Advanced ReBoot Menu options - so we can chose to reboot into Recovery. No more awkward 2 finger salute (did I press the buttons correctly in time???). It's simple but very helpful stuff like this that makes this ROM so great.
[G3 Android Development] sheraz2:
There also a Rebooter app that allows you to reboot straight to recovery.

1. ROM is running great.....

2. Still have issues with phone locking during or after a call....

3. I don't believe auto-screen dimming is working....
