Hi [MENTION=3208754]codeworkx[/MENTION],

why did you decided to build another camera (Snap) and left G4Camera development? What are the pro's and con's of both cameras? I saw that you post an request to authors of OpenCamera for G4 specific but still no replay from them (is that the reason to ditch it?).

T.
[G4 Android Development] codeworkx:
Snap is based on Qualcomms Snapdragon Camera which is optimized for Qualcomm devices like ours.
[G4 Android Development] Ati75:
Good work. The cam seems to be top notch. I also like the gui more. Does this version include the "LG" mode? I can select iso up to 2700, so i think this is the case. Laser focus should also be active i guess. I can't tell :confused:. It takes great pictures, and is quite responsive. Is it normal that you can't change any settings when you are in video mode?
[G4 Android Development] codeworkx:
The settings icon in top right does nothing.

But you can swipe in from left side to open the settings menu which allows for changing video resolution and so on.
[G4 Android Development] Ati75:
Alles klar! Didn't notice that! Thanks!
[G4 Android Development] thermskin:
Thanks for reply.

Is there an review or gerrit for it would like to help in squashing bugs.

Is it possible to disable full screen view? If in full screen can't close Snap (no navigation bar beneath) :)

T.
[G4 Android Development] codeworkx:
No, it's just on github.

Swipe in from bottom and you'll get the keys.
[G4 Android Development] Ati75:
If you swipe up from the bottom of the screen, the navbar appears. Just like in any other full screen app.
[G4 Android Development] thecoldone123:
I think CM is perfect and I would've installed it a long time ago if I knew I could keep the LG camera :( That's literally the only thing holding me back. Can anyone tell me if the quality is that worse compared to the one on stock?
[G4 Android Development] thermskin:
Hi,

unfortunately I did swipe from bottom but nothing happens. No navigation bar.

T.
[G4 Android Development] android404:
The quality is exactly that worse.

Make a nandroid and see for yourself.
[G4 Android Development] thecoldone123:
I think I will.

I suppose the overall performance is better?
[G4 Android Development] android404:
Battery is considerably better on cm13 than on stock, and it takes like 200ms less to turn on the screen... Other than that I think the performance on stock is more than sufficient. It's not that I'm experiencing lags or anything. Are you? That combined with relatively slow gps, some kernel crashes, low audio on video recording, slow camera and deteriorated picture quality made me go back to stock.
[G4 Android Development] thecoldone123:
I've read that the battery is amazing, but as you said. This is still a nightly build and the stock isn't that bad at all. I just love, love stock Android, that's the main reason I would flash this.
[G4 Android Development] thermskin:
QuickCircle

Hi [MENTION=3208754]codeworkx[/MENTION],

I see that you are working on quickcircle app and that is great. As I wrote on cm review, app in this early stage is working fine (turning on/off screen with smartcover). What are you planning to include in the future?

Maybe you can get in contact with the author of qcview app and join forces?

T.
[G4 Android Development] codeworkx:
A clock. That's all.

Freetime is rare. ;)
[G4 Android Development] IIIIkoolaidIIII:
Here are some Camera Samples taken with the new camera app, to give people some idea (weather hasn't been great by me so no sunlight ones).

Hi,

[G4 Android Development] android404:
What is it that you love about stock android, other than the way the settings look like, and how important is that? I don't need an answer and I'll stop discussing this now since it's unimportant for this thread.
[G4 Android Development] Jens1969:
Thank you codeworkx!

Seeing the incredible pace of development of this CM13 and this being a one-man-show, I feel the need to stand up for [MENTION=3208754]codeworkx[/MENTION] (and cyanogen):

"Needing" a phone with a better camera than my nexus 5 had, I was looking at many brands and models. The LG4 was affordable and the bootloader could be unlocked. [I definitely underestimated the impact of LG’s decision, to unlock the international version only, though]

But as soon, as I saw codeworkx starting to work on the LG4, I was certain, that even if I turn away from stock rom one day, there will be a very good alternative. Like years ago with my Galaxy S (i9000) and [MENTION=2751714]atinm[/MENTION], [MENTION=3208754]codeworkx[/MENTION], [MENTION=617884]Koush[/MENTION], [MENTION=3117667]pawitp[/MENTION], [MENTION=2742186]Richthofen[/MENTION], [MENTION=276697]RyanZA[/MENTION], [MENTION=2617206]supercurio[/MENTION], [MENTION=1433290]sztupy[/MENTION] just to name a few.

Tl;dr: Just give codeworkx some more time.
[G4 Android Development] uplink-svk:
Weee, the camera is totally fluent codeworkx, great job! P.S.: The flash still isn't working, but that ain't that much of a problem [it's late for snap it self :)].
[G4 Android Development] codeworkx:
Flash isn't working?
[G4 Android Development] alain57:
flash is working but it seems that it break something I had once the issue that the picture was not saved and the camera button stay disabled.

But this only happened once

I also noticed that the small preview (the one that will appear near the picture button on the lowest part of the screen) is somehow rotated :/

the upper part is on the left ..

but of course when i click on it it open the picture and the upper part is on the correct position (up)

ps: yes i switch again on CM :)

ps: does someone know a way to see the pictures/video that where protected with the stock gallery app ? you know these .dm files... there are still on the phone, but i didn't found a tool that could decrypt them like the stock gallery did
[G4 Android Development] android404:
Don't misunderstand me, this is running great! The cameras provided are a great improvement as well. I just feel that stock LG is so good that's it's basically impossible to get something better.
[G4 Android Development] uplink-svk:
not "not working", but not working like for a long time. Flashes before it takes actual snap shot and than it makes dark to black photo.
[G4 Android Development] Jens1969:
That's why I'm on stock rom, also. But in the (not so) long run, when LG stops updating stock rom for G4 (rather sooner then later) or security concerns demand immediate action (rather sooner then later), we'll be more than happy to have an almost flawless CM. :)
[G4 Android Development] xdag4:
I think I have spotted a bug with the CPU, scheduler etc. The G4 gets warm very quickly when using this calculator. Just using it for 2 min, typing some calculations, maybe trying to plot a function and the back where the volume buttons are gets hot. I assume thats a bug because I barely did anything and the phone got warmer than after watching a 20 min video.
[G4 Android Development] rcmc_ronny:
Ok, it happens only, if the device is in deep sleep. If i leave it on the charger or the usb pc connection, it does not happen at all. Weired thing.

I will try to get back to stock later to really check if this does not happen there.

Ronny
[G4 Android Development] hfmls:
I love you :D

edit: mate don't forget to update the first post with camera versions, i read 10 pages since last came here i almost missed v5 of camera :) glad i didn't.

btw is this the git of v5?

[G4 Android Development] Warmax88:
Does anyone else have problems with GPS? I use google maps and it's pretty much unusable. It "lags" a lot and it also freezes sometimes. Everything else is good :good:
[G4 Android Development] hfmls:
sorry mate, can't reproduce here. i used wireless + gps and data + gps and all good here using google maps.

---------- Post added at 06:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:49 PM ----------

i find this Snap v5 camera to be very cool and similar to stock (quality) i see it has high ISO too now, and !PLUS! laser is working because i see the little light thinggy

[MENTION=3208754]codeworkx[/MENTION]

sorry to ask again mate

edit: how can i only show contacts with phone number?

edit2: is it possible to add to "slide down notifacion bar" toggles for 2g/3g/4g, and data on/off?

edit3: how to add count number to icon notifications? i only get the top slide down notifications. how do i get this?

[IMG="app notifications count"]http://cdn.appcrawlr.com/imageService/aHR0cHM6Ly9saDUuZ2dwaHQuY29tL0gxTUp5RFRabnpsU1Q2eUpaT2IwZ3lvVkRNUnp3bFltTHpjVThIZWc0SVpIR2JVcTI2Y1RhTnBVbkVKUWFyMWdiUT1oNjQw?w=340&h=280[/IMG]

sorry for all the questions. thank you
[G4 Android Development] ChriKn:
Well... Today I jumped into the big black hole, unlocked the bootloader and installed CM13...

It is marvelous :) I haven't tried the camera to much, but I know it will be as great as stock some day.

(For the moment it seems a bit grainier in low light maybe ?)

I noticed one "bug" vibration seems much stronger than on stock and sometimes two vibrations cone up on one keystroke (or a longer one). Is there a way to play with this ? I remember during my nexus days on Franco kernel we had a slider to tinker with this.

[MENTION=3208754]codeworkx[/MENTION], thank you. Really. I was one of the first bakers when you went to get the phone and just this afternoon with cm13 is totally worth it. If you come near Strasbourg, there is a beer awaiting you !
[G4 Android Development] Kasper1221:
anyone else have problems with the screen lock? when i try to set a screen lock i get an "unfortunately, settings has stopped" on 20160101 clean install and still on 10160104 clean install

GPS is good btw no lag with google maps or here maps
[G4 Android Development] patalao:
Only thing missing that I use regularly on stock is Qremote and Qslide apps,and dt2s, other than that seems to be on tracks this work.

[G4 Android Development] Ati75:
For doubletab2sleep you could use Nova prime as a launcher. It's not free, but does the job and more. Best launcher imo. Or you could just install screen off and lock and use that instead. Maybe even in combination with a guesture depending on the launcher you use.

When entering options -> sounds -> other sounds and changing any of the settings and going back, settings crashes. It starts right back again, and the settings stick, but this happened in every nightly i tried.
[G4 Android Development] biyor:
imposible to install, i tried many times, i´m on 20b, reboot recovery wipe data factory reset, instal zip, always stay at cyanogen icon, don´t start, i wait for 20 minutes to start but nothing

i try flash boot, modem, bootloader, system and supersu zips, then start rom, its ok on 20b, then reboot into recovery, wipe data, system, cache, dalvin cache, flash cyanogen....always same problem, stay at cyanogen icon

any idea?

sorry about my english :)
[G4 Android Development] donsasan:
I'm not entirely sure about now but a while back you weren't supposed to flash SuperSU. Try it without it. CM has built in root.
[G4 Android Development] Ati75:
I have the 2.66 Beta of SuperSU installed, and all is working well. But if you only do a factory reset, stock rom won't be wiped, will it? You'll have to wipe everything except internal and external storage. Maybe that was the problem?

Edit : Nevermind, i just saw you did it right. Sorry, didn't read careful enough...
[G4 Android Development] biyor:
I do It but nothing
[G4 Android Development] CrunchMilk:
My g4 apparently stops charging wirelessly after about 1 minute without any reason. It is neither to hot, nor full.

looks like a faulty unit :( i dont have any problems with touch works normal !
[G4 Android Development] rcmc_ronny:
Yep, i tested it since yesterday evening with V20B Stock and there it is even worse,so it goes out to RMA, it was a new buyed phone (2015-12-21) but the imei says produced in july 2015. I think the digitizer is faulty, i will see, if i get it back.

Thanks for all the suggestions and sorry to bother you all with this.

[G4 Android Development] hfmls:
never understood the quickcircle thing. is it always on like lumia devices ? or do i have to tap it? i guess i can use it without the cover, because i hate book cover cases.
[G4 Android Development] PixelBurst:
Out of interest codeworkx, would you recommend us jumping on unofficial or sticking to official? Can we still update using deltas from official with the unofficial? Sorry for the nooby questions, this is actually my first android device so just not sure whether to stick with the official build or not!
[G4 Android Development] genesixxbf3:
unofficial are just testing build but you can rejump on nightly as soon as there is a new one
[G4 Android Development] PixelBurst:
Thanks. I guess as I don't use a quick circle case and I've got snap camera working fine anyway I'll just stick with official for now.
[G4 Android Development] thermskin:
Thanks [MENTION=3208754]codeworkx[/MENTION]!

My AICP 11 build finally recognize NTFS usb stick over OTG.

Looking forward when CM will merge Snap in g4-common and QuickCircle ;)

[G4 Android Development] aouni_tahech:
I'm considering to jump on CM13, but I'm curious about the microphone sound quality, which is the only issue left seeing that a good camera has been merged in the rom. Does the mic sound good when recording voice or calls? I know that many phones suffer from this issue on cyanogem mod, and same happened with my Lg G3 previously. The issue is that the microphone sound would be so high/distorted and will lack clarity.
[G4 Android Development] imarcel99:
Does anyone have idea why AOSP ROMs like CM,Bliss, and now even RR perform much worse on benchmarks? For example Antutu benchmark on stock 20B it hits 75000 without any sort of problems, sometimes even higher but when story comes to the AOSP side it struggles to get even 65000. And what surprises me most is actual RAM performance which is about 2000 lower than on stock. Here is a screenshot of what I mean
[G4 Android Development] codeworkx:
In the past some big manufacturers implemented some kind of benchmark detection to cheat the results.

Maybe it happened again.
[G4 Android Development] PixelBurst:
Can't help but reply to this, as while it's unrelated to development as such, I feel the note it's been left on is kind of important to the thread and any potential G4 owners looking and considering CM13 for their devices might be put off by this comment.

The settings app is the least of my issues with LG's stock UX. LG's dialer, contacts and messaging app are all terrible, the dialer being the biggest of the issues there as it is flat out messy, ugly and unintuitive. The lockscreen doesn't show next alarm time which is a huge issue for someone like me that relies on quickly glancing at my next alarm, not to mention the unecessary extra UI elements for smartlock, the way the pinlock entry box looks and functions and the best feature of LG's knockcode's bracket design makes it a bit of an eyesore. I digress though, these are mostly cosmetical issues, that some people might easily be able to overlook, so let's look at the way the lockscreen handles notifications - doubletap them when the phone is locked and see what happens. Functionality is lost with LG's design choice here. The notification view is also a pain to use. You can't quick pulldown notifications without showing the toggles which is just absurd in my mind. I could carry on, but I feel I've said my piece.

Codeworkx has made some massive progress on the camera with his Snap Camera - G4 Edition and that is honestly the only gripe I've had with CM13 - however as someone who doesn't use their camera very often, I was very much willing to overlook that on the basis that I'd rather have a better day to day experience with the parts of my phone that I do use than the part I use on special occasions.

Obviously personal use and opinions are going to come into anyone's decision about which ROM to use on their device and this is just mine the same way you gave yours, in an ideal world people curious should give the options a go and see what they think for themselves. I just wanted their to be at least two sides to the publicly available argument to give users a better view of what to expect and what to look out for and as you've said this isn't necessarily the right place for this discussion, so now there's both sides represented here feel free to PM me if you wish to continue this discussion rather than carrying this on here just because I replied :)
[G4 Android Development] vegetaleb:
Clean installed unofficial build, it wanted to format my sdcard but I already formated it to fat32 months ago. Also once flashed gapps 64 for 6.0 I got install wizard FC bootloop. Restored stock rom :(
[G4 Android Development] hfmls:
Wioe cache flash cm13 then gapps only then reboot. It will work
[G4 Android Development] Ati75:
Which gapps are you using? I use OpenGapps and never had any issues. Maybe worth checking out.
[G4 Android Development] ImSpiderman:
On latest build (0701) Root Explorer crashes when i try to open it :(
[G4 Android Development] failax:
In the last unofficial build opengapps arm64 nano cause crashes.
[G4 Android Development] Ati75:
What kind of crashes? I have nano opengapps installed, and have no problems with the latest unofficial build. Even my MI Band pairs now with my phone. Something, which didn't work the last few builds. Smartlock ftw!
[G4 Android Development] failax:
I have installed them after flashing rom and rebooted, as wrote in the first post.Maybe it was better to not reboot?
[G4 Android Development] Ati75:
I always flash this way. I wipe everything except the external SD-Card, where i put everything i need, including all the stuff i have to flash.

Be sure that you don't have anything you need on your internal storage if you choose this way. I never keep anything of importance on the internal storage. If you do, then backup!

Then i just flash rom - gapps - xposed - supersu. All in one go with no reboots. Never had any problems. The first time after having unlocked the phone i did flash cm only and flashed gapps after a reboot, but since then always as i just described.
[G4 Android Development] vegetaleb:
Yep that's what happened, but why my fat32 sdcard was not accepted? It's a exfat only rom?
[G4 Android Development] Ati75:
This is very curious. I have the latest open gapps from 06012016, the latest unofficial CM13 Build, also from yesterday, have a fat32 formated sd-card and have no problems whatsoever. I can take pictures with the cam onto the sd-card, save stuff onto the sd-card. H815 with unlocked bootloader. All well, and very stable, great battery.
[G4 Android Development] hfmls:
Yes do not reboot , clear flash all reboot
[G4 Android Development] Darkmasterhk:
I had a similar issue on my tablet, the dev there told me to delete the .android_secure folder, maybe this helps here too?

I am back to CM because of the new Snap Camera. ;)

But just for info, before I could come back to CM, I have had very very bad/hard time with loads of bootloop, partial boot, freze (I was under MM V20B).

I have never ever seen something like that happening under any Android device. Never.

There are a lot of threads, posts regarding this issue that happend on G4 all over the world using Lollipop or MM, locked or unlocked, rooted or not rooted. Like a time bomb virus...

https://www.reddit.com/r/lgg4/comments/3wir18/psa_if_you_purchased_a_g4_before_october_it_may/

http://xdaforums.com/g4/help/lg-g4-stuck-bootloop-t3268734

Devices affected were mostly manufactured before september 2015, most with SN starting with 505 or 506 = may or june 2015.

I did realy thought that was kind of real hardware defect because absolutly nothing helped : clean wipe, reflash etc...

This only thing that helped was to flash from MM V20B to Lollipop 10F (if I remember correctly) using LGUP.

After that complete fresh install of Lollipop the very exact same bootloop reappears :eek:

In last resort I did end up using LG Bridge and lucky enough it did successfully flashed MM V20A on my G4, rebooted and.....DONE: no more creasy bootloop :good:

I did try a day long to make my G4 crash, reboot : not a single reboot.

I don't say my device is now "repaired" but I did even install TWRP, CM13, GAPPS, new Snap Camera : no issue

[MENTION=3208754]codeworkx[/MENTION] I don't know if you have heard of this creasy bootloop thing and/or if you have an idea on it. That's realy scary.
