Tersukerler bu kamera icin Yener90!

Allot of us with the LG G5 are also using this mod and it works great, cok iyi!

Tek sey, 'MODE' option and obviously second wide camera support but we are most interested in manual video mode and this works perfect for the main camera.

I was wondering if it was possible to get the Cinema widescreen part working in video mode. This cropping in video combined with 24fps at high bitrates makes this thing shoot like my Red One out of the box.

Thanks again for the port.
[G4 Themes and Apps] billy_hilton:
can anyone tell me what the benefits of this camera are? aswell as a screenshot if possible thanks :)
[G4 Themes and Apps] davebugyi:
In manual video, when clicking on focus each time is reset to macro. It is intended to work like that or is it a bug? I mean, that I have set it manually to Infinity, go to ISO, set the the value and when going back to focus it is reset back to macro.
[G4 Themes and Apps] One Twelve:
Yep i see it as well. What if you set ISO first and then do focus ?

Make MF the last thing you set before you hit the record button is what i mean. Don't touch it again otherwise it resets back to macro again.

The ISO values seem to hold once you have AE-L engaged.
[G4 Themes and Apps] HorstiG:
When you install the app as system app, does the external SD card.
[G4 Themes and Apps] keysikasuy:
But this is for rooted phones only :(
[G4 Themes and Apps] Phoenix854:
Excellent mod!;) Very much impressed with manual video.;)

But I couldnt find how to set the resolution (or MP count) in image mode. And as a matter of fact, stock cam app also doesnt include that. Is it missed by LG? Is it the same with G5 also? Just wondering how did LG forgot to add something which every phone has?:confused:
[G4 Themes and Apps] r4yv3n:
In photo mode you can only change aspect ratio 1:1 4:3 16:9 , you can't change MPx with stock camera. It's the same in LG V10 , G4 , and maybe G5 (Not sure)
[G4 Themes and Apps] One Twelve:
Changing aspect ratio changes the MP's

16:9 is 16MP

4:3 is 12 MP

1:1 is 7MP
[G4 Themes and Apps] r4yv3n:
Yes, but we are talking about having all the resolutions avalaible as in Galaxy and other mobiles.

Not only 1 by each aspect ratio (the max MPx possible for each one)
[G4 Themes and Apps] One Twelve:
Its same on the S7.

4:3 is 12MP

16:9 is 9MP

1:1 is smaller.

You then have smaller resolutions with those aspects as well.
[G4 Themes and Apps] outrun86:
Well [MENTION=2608689]yener90[/MENTION], many, many thanks for this app...It's awesome what you achieved. I have two questions:

1) Would be a way to record video in SD card for non-rooted, in a different folder? (DCIM2 or something like that)

2) Any way to donate to you? You deserve a beer at least!! :)
[G4 Themes and Apps] CITA_LEONHEARTS:
all function works well on my LG G4 H818N running v20D MM.. Excepts

1. Cannot save to SDCARD (No problem)

2. But the problem is having issue in Manual Video Mode，microphone not working. Sounds doesnt change when i change the loudness db and directifity...anyone has that problem?
[G4 Themes and Apps] keysikasuy:
Because the mic in V10 is different from G4. The V10 have mic in front and back. I believe
[G4 Themes and Apps] One Twelve:
V10 has 3 mics so directivity will never work.

Mic gain alone however, i don't see why that cannot work.
[G4 Themes and Apps] :
We are using the camera libraries of G4. This doesn't include mic options. Editing library is also not possible. You don't realise it, but the app makes a lot of errors regarding audio functions.
[G4 Themes and Apps] :
1) It's not the folder, it's just LG. LG permits it.

Situation: camera app tells the library, where to save pictures

Problem: LG framework says: no you are not allowed to set sd card location for the lib, because you are not a system app.

Can't fix it.

2) you can pm me :)
[G4 Themes and Apps] One Twelve:
Ah, since you made audio work i thought there was some hope :)
[G4 Themes and Apps] CITA_LEONHEARTS:
I understand now. Not a big problem if the microphone doesnt works. Got v10 camera without rooting is a very big bonus for LG G4 users. :)
[G4 Themes and Apps] ydobemos:
Thank you for this, seems to work just fine on my 815. Also it may just be placebo, but image quality seemed better than stock G4 camera.

Anyhow, the only annoyance are the loud sounds it makes, but that can be tolerated.

I'm assuming there's no real way to mod in time lapse times longer than 1 second?
[G4 Themes and Apps] EPa:
I think the info about the mic settings not being applicable to the G4 should be added in the first post under "notes" or something.
[G4 Themes and Apps] keysikasuy:
Same question. Can't time lapse can be included sir [MENTION=2608689]yener90[/MENTION] ?
[G4 Themes and Apps] darekesp:
On 5.1 rooted not working I install as normal app and I have a FC

Wysłane z mojego LG-H815 przy użyciu Tapatalka
[G4 Themes and Apps] davebugyi:
Which version? If you read the OP, since V3 only Marshmallow is supported.
[G4 Themes and Apps] One Twelve:
Timelapse does work with FHD, just select either 1 or 2FPS.

left it for 2hours and battery drained by 80%.
[G4 Themes and Apps] keysikasuy:
Wow thanks for the tip. I never knew that lowering the frames per second actually makes the video fast. 2fps though is like too fast compared to other time lapse videos but it's good
[G4 Themes and Apps] EPa:
Selecting 1 or 2 fps is equivalent to timelapse, because the video is saved as 30fps. (Luckily this doesn't happen with 24fps video which is saved as it should).

For those using programs like framelapse, 1 is equal to shooting every 1 second (normal speed x 30), 2 is equal to shooting every 0.5 second (normal speed x 15).

It also works for UHD although it is impractical because of the 5 minute limit (results in 10 second timelapse on the 1 fps setting, 20 second timelapse on the 2 fps setting).

Limitations aside, great to have them.
[G4 Themes and Apps] CITA_LEONHEARTS:
Hope one day LG G5 Camera also will be easily ported to LG G4 without root. LG G5 image quality， color reproduction， noise controling and white balance is far better than LG G4 and V10 even using the same sensor。
[G4 Themes and Apps] HorstiG:
I do not think that was so easy. Since a lot of work behind it.
[G4 Themes and Apps] One Twelve:
The kicker is on 1/2 FPS you can slow shutter to 1s. Whereas with 30fps, slowest shutter is 1/30.

The difference is five stops brighter. Can use low ISO for good quality. Of course at this slow shutter speed any movement will be a blur but this is good because you can empty a street that is full of people.
[G4 Themes and Apps] EPa:
1s shutter speed and low iso produces light trail in very dark conditions when shooting a photo.

One would think a light trail timelapse would be produced in the case of video (when shot in the same conditions with the same shutter and iso settings as the photo) but it isn't. I wonder why.
[G4 Themes and Apps] r4yv3n:
Could you make apk with the same name as stock camera apk ?

Because using it as the only one camera i cannot open it using volume down button and from the lockscreen

Thx :)
[G4 Themes and Apps] keysikasuy:
Wow thank you. Honestly I am not knowledgeable about manual photography but thanks for feeding our mind sir. :)
[G4 Themes and Apps] silent_silver:
Same here. Copied to system/priv-app.

Any chance to fix that?
[G4 Themes and Apps] MaxLG:
I have LG5. Works, but not the manual audio gain control ( and of course not the second back camera), LG5 camera is fine, but I want manual audio gain control.

It could be fine to record rock concerts, etc.

Orher apps: Filmic pro - the only app with manual audio gain control? It works and all other manual controls

Open camera - manual mode, but no audio control. The 2 back camera working for G5.

I love to see working manual audio control with this V10 camera ...
[G4 Themes and Apps] androidbotz:
First off, a great big thanks to [MENTION=377973]defcomg[/MENTION] and [MENTION=2608689]yener90[/MENTION] for the port.

I'm using a rooted 815 with V10F-SEA and the only version that seems to work somewhat, is V1. Simple Mode does not work and when selecting Settings in Manual Video, it results in a FC.

In V2 apparently, there are more FCs but Settings in Manual Video seems to work.

I know its tons of work getting a port to work seamlessly but I hope, you guys will not abandon the port for lollipop if you do get the time and or resources. Some of us are not upgrading to MM cos there are more issues with MM than lollipop on our G4 variants so we are stuck with lollipop.

Anyhow, whatever the outcome I can say one thing for sure that you guys are doing a fabulous job. Keep it up and God bless! :good:
[G4 Themes and Apps] nitrous²:
Make sure you set the correct permissions. Moving the app to /system/priv-app/ I noticed permissions for some of the folders an files are corrupted or simply not sufficient. You have to set it 755 for all folders and 644 for all files. This worked for me. No FC's changing to front camera and back.

V10 Canera vs Stock Camera

Hello,

i'm new here and i have bought an G4 DualSim device ( H818P).

What is the benefit of the V10 ported Camera to the stock camera of G4 ???

The manuell settings are looking similiar in both apps .
[G4 Themes and Apps] keysikasuy:
Check the Manual video settings
[G4 Themes and Apps] whitenoise2007:
On Custom Rom DU v.10.1 it does not work. FC on open.
[G4 Themes and Apps] kwstakis:
I think that its for stock roms and stock based roms.not for cm.
[G4 Themes and Apps] whitenoise2007:
Seen this post. Genisys isn't a Custom Rom?
[G4 Themes and Apps] kabirjedi:
STOCK based custom rom
[G4 Themes and Apps] whitenoise2007:
I see, my bad :)
[G4 Themes and Apps] kevtrysmoddin:
[MENTION=2608689]yener90[/MENTION] great work this is a improvement over the stock camera
[G4 Themes and Apps] outrun86:
I have three questions regarding manual video:

1) I always have OIS disabled. Is that normal?

2) I can't get manual ISO working. When I move it up or down, AE-L automatically activates itself so exposure gets locked and the screen remains the same all the time, there's no visible effect in adjusting ISO. Is that something I'm doing wrong?

3) If I change the shutter speed in manual video, it makes any difference? (for example, setting the video at 60 fps, 1080p and then moving shutter speed to 1/125)

Thanks a lot!
[G4 Themes and Apps] gedas5:
I believe this is the issue with 60fps that manual controls don't really work and it defaults to whatever settings the app thinks are appropriate for the shot (I believe everyone else has the same issue). Try other fps or different resolutions and you'll see that ISO and shutter speed controls work perfectly. :)
[G4 Themes and Apps] DoKaTSuYa:
Hell nooo, I think we have the best way now to record concert, default setting is the best sound you can get and now you can even ZOOM without get distorted sound... Damn people you don't know what you want...

---------- Post added at 01:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:24 PM ----------

Once again, the Audio edit is gimmick, the best sound we can get is now without distortion even while zooming... what do you want more ??? If I'm not wrong, I have to go to concert, But I tried at home very loud sound, and it seems we can record video and zooming without getting the sound distorted, yeah I repeated myself, because people don't know what they want or don't know what is good or bad... so it's even better than G5 for audio.
[G4 Themes and Apps] keysikasuy:
I strongly agree
[G4 Themes and Apps] One Twelve:
How does filmic pro compare with the v10 app ?

---------- Post added at 08:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 AM ----------

Not having to worry about zooming is good, when in a concert. But the idea of gain control is to dial it all the way back to reduce distortion.

How well that works i don't know but otherwise in a loud area the audio will distort in the recording.
[G4 Themes and Apps] outrun86:
I bring the SD card issue back, in case I may help. Turns out that in the last update of the Cameringo + app I see: "What's new: -Added SD-card support for Lollipop and Marshmallow". I updated it and certainly I have now access to write to any folder in SD card -including DCIM\Camera-. However it has a tricky way to choose the folder, I don't know if it's related with the framework problem. When you choose save pictures to the SD-card, a side-menu appears with the "Recent" title, but it's an empty menu, there's nothing to choose. Then you have to go to the three-point menu and select "show SD-card", and then the SD card gets visible and you can choose the folder you want. To put it short, you are not prompted to choose the folder right away, you have to do it through this "recent" menu. As I said, I don't know if this may ring a bell to [MENTION=2608689]yener90[/MENTION], but maybe it's a backdoor, or helps in some way, or something like that...The fact is that with this app, Cameringo+, now I can write photos and video to the SD card, and previously I couldn't. Thanks in advance!
[G4 Themes and Apps] :
Their is not write problem. Just permission. The pictures dont get saved from Camera.apk. It get saved from library. Camera.apk only tells the library what to do. Example -> take picture, save to sd card. LG says: you have no permission to set location, because you are not a system app. Your workaround is only for lollipop apps. Marshmallow apps dont require this. Although thanks for your help :fingers-crossed:
[G4 Themes and Apps] outrun86:
Thanks!!! So how Cameringo+ did it? :eek:
[G4 Themes and Apps] :
They are using standard camera library from Android. There you can define location, where you want your picture.

The technic is different.
[G4 Themes and Apps] outrun86:
Thanks a lot, now I get it ;)
[G4 Themes and Apps] DoKaTSuYa:
The sound does not distort with my LG G4 if I don't zoom (clear sound, super crispy and the bass is well) :

https://youtu.be/74RdMUSosHE?t=51

So the Audio edit is gimmick, it will make sound distort in a loud area. That's why I didn't zoom on this video, you can zoom only in portrait mode without getting the sound distort, that's weird.
[G4 Themes and Apps] cad0p:
4K doesn't work with the G5, it only increases the Bitrate. I cannot upload the test I made since I've not yet made it to 10 posts, but I can assure that the footage is 1080p, 64mbps
[G4 Themes and Apps] cashflow67:
[MENTION=2608689]yener90[/MENTION] There is no 60FPS FHD support. I use Stock 20G Turkey Rom
[G4 Themes and Apps] One Twelve:
Sounds good, that video is better than the other three as well. I did not see much focus hunt.

The reason the sound is ok in this case is because you are up in the balcony and quite far away from the speakers.

if you were much closer say then what could you do ?

Agree the good thing is now you can zoom with video and audio does not get distorted. So maybe sitting further away and using zoom is the way to do it. It's nice to see the faces of the band more clearly.

You did not understand what i mean. I understand that zooming will distort the video because LG's assumption is you will be doing this only when people are talking. No loud music. In this way its like a boom mic effect. This was a feature they touted with the G2 and continued it. If all you do is video people talking its a good feature. Unfortunately it cannot be turned off.

What i mean is if you are doing a recording and you know the sound is loud, you see the levels in the meter peaking, all you do is reduce the gain so it does not peak this means does not saturate, does not distort. Better quality audio recording is the result.

Now how well it does this as i said i don't know but i expect it is easier to reduce gain than to increase it to preserve audio quality.
[G4 Themes and Apps] DoKaTSuYa:
No even if I was closed to the speaker it will record very well, these mics are made for this, like the HTC ONE M7 made for louuud sound without distortion, it's not the problem, it can support 140db. But yeah for people talking it can be something the audio edit, but it sounds weird unnatural. Otherwise for concert, don't touch the audio setting at all, I don't think reduce gain will improve the quality.
[G4 Themes and Apps] One Twelve:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SldqKUMlQ38

listen to how quiet the 1020 is. That is the effect of reducing gain.

There is no zoom there, still the recorded audio does not sound great for he G4.

This is why i wondered if lowering gain would help,
[G4 Themes and Apps] DoKaTSuYa:
I don't like the 1020 sound, to much reducing gain on this video, 808 is perfect. Anyway the 1020 has 4 mics but if you used the right setting it will be the best sound recorder I think. And the G4 sounds bad like there was a zooming but it's not the case or maybe it was zoomed a little bit, weird.

Look this one it sounds really good too, until when he starts zooming at 0:33sec : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKJZqdD8oZc

And the clear sound came back at 1:28

Anyway, the reduce gain on the V10 seems not as good as the 1020 you can found samples, and 1020 has 4 mics, V10 "only" 3 mics.
[G4 Themes and Apps] gedas5:
@ DoKaTSuYa the sound does distort and it will distort depending on the loudness of the music. Try visiting any club and record some music :) you won't be pleasantly surprised when listening to it the next morning. That was one of the first things I tested when I bought LG G4 as I was hoping that finally I will be able to record concerts without this horrible distortion that Nexus 4 or Nexus 5 had :p It does perform better than the latter and doesn't distort that much but it still certainly does and having proper gain control would help a lot. Though I have Filmic Pro which does have gain/video volume controls which does reduce the distortion when recording pretty loud music.

I've added a sample of more severe distortion

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLhp864k63U

And less severe distortion

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MTHfKLawtY
[G4 Themes and Apps] DoKaTSuYa:
You recorded those with the stock camera app ?? I tried with third app, they don't take the 2 mics correctly as the stock camera so the sound is very bad with third camera app.

Make sure to zoom out, and especially do not cover one mic with your finger... just one mic cover make the sound distorted :

Look at this video too, the first min you can hear some distortion but the song is very slow at the beginning so it shoudn't, sometimes the mic looks like is still in "zoom audio mode" or I probably put my finger (the stereo is not good here) :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xr_AZN6mw54

Edit : BTW I'm waiting to go to a concert again, but since the terrorist attack in Paris at the Bataclan (as the video), a lot of my favorite bands cancelled... **** the terrorists :/
[G4 Themes and Apps] One Twelve:

Is this posseble to do on Lg Spirit(H440N)??Do you need help??
[G4 Themes and Apps] MaxLG:
About manual audio gain:

filmic pro: I like to reduce when I record very! loud music. And notice: no strange (underwater) sound while zooming.

Same with apps like Open camera. The only app so far I can use both back cameras. (LG5) . But no manual audio. But softer when you choose different mic/external etc

---------- Post added at 02:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 PM ----------

A few years ago I had Samsung Galaxy S ( first version) . It was rooted and had woodoo mod - and DSP. I could reduce the audio gain in 4 levels. Perfect sound! So it's important to have audio gain control. I miss my old Galaxy S!
[G4 Themes and Apps] kabirjedi:
Lg spirit no support camera api2.So no possible.
[G4 Themes and Apps] MaxLG:
What about this: external mic - problem

How to use external mic instead of the phone's mic for recording?

I found that the Google default Camera app uses phone's mic no matter what, but some Apps from Play Store can use external mic. So there must be a way to do that.

Answer:

In your code, when you do:

AudioRecord recorder = new AudioRecord.Builder()

.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.VOICE_COMMUNICATION) ...

Use the appropriate MediaRecorder.AudioSource, which would be MIC
[G4 Themes and Apps] paolotheking:
Any chance to make it working on LG G Flex 2?
[G4 Themes and Apps] One Twelve:
hmm, i think the G4 only accepts 4 pole plugs. The sony one is a 5 pole. That sony mic only records audio, wont work for video recordings.

it seems we were all thinking about the same thing. So i found this.

[YOUTUBE]1PPJ_UcliSQ[/YOUTUBE]

How well it works for concerts ? no idea. But it does voice well outdoors if there is wind.
[G4 Themes and Apps] MaxLG:
This is for IPHONE. Dont know if any support for Android.

When I had a LG G2 (old android) I could use Irig cast (external small mic) 2 audio levels low/high. It worked on the third party Lgcamera app.

I just tried this one on my LG5 (android 6) ( and same and other apps - even Filmic pro) doesn´t work.

So something wrong with the android. We need a mod!
[G4 Themes and Apps] kabirjedi:
Like g3 gfelx2(frakk lg sell politics) not support camera api 2 so sorry i think no no possible.

Another thing gflex 2 stuck in 5.1 LP......
[G4 Themes and Apps] paolotheking:
Gflex 2 has manual mode with third part app. So has api2.

MM coming soon... But maybe we can port v10 camera of 5.1.1 version untill mm...
[G4 Themes and Apps] DoKaTSuYa:
Why it will only record audio the STM10 from Sony ? it made for recording videos, we can use the QuadBeat 3 from LG as a mic if you noticed, so it should works with the Sony mic which is pretty good for concert, but anyway the LG G4's mics is already very good for me.

BTW, G3 or G Flex 2 don't have the same camera as the V10 or G4... so it can't be easy to port.
[G4 Themes and Apps] kabirjedi:
has wb or iso no =camera api.2 belive me....GFLEX 2 and G3 NO FULL SUPPORT CAMERA API2. just low level so no possible full working v10 mode including manual video . Sorry

(Manual camera compatibility app not correct )

MM now midnight tale...Let's when relase..
[G4 Themes and Apps] One Twelve:
Did you even watch the video ? he tests it on a G4 !!!
[G4 Themes and Apps] MaxLG:
No, not complete. But now I have. But sure that one + Iphone is better

together with android 6 - not sure. I have asked the support of that company.

The original ( and V10) Lg camera apps are not good: not perfect sound if you zoom when you record videos.
[G4 Themes and Apps] One Twelve:
yes i saw some videos where it works with an xperia.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_7V4a8ZNUc

It sounds good because there is a way to set sensitivity ie gain.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nvH2w-o6QY

Looks like something in the sony firmware that pops up there.

Who's going to test it on the G4 ?

yes this will work but its a voice mic so don't expect it to work too well.

And how many poles do you see on that quad beat ? i count 4. This does not imply the jack is just 4 pole but how else to know. Is your alibaba link for the part showing 5 contacts good enough ?

Even then the order of what pole does what may not be the same.

Only way to know is a confirmed test.

---------- Post added at 04:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:29 PM ----------

How does filmic pro compare ?
[G4 Themes and Apps] MaxLG:
Original Lg camera app / V10, all ... strange sound while zooming (recording video)

Filmic pro: When I record videos - no strange (underwater) sound while zooming. And the manual audio gain control is working. But not the external mic options. I have written to the support about it.

Same about other apps: open camera, proshop, snap camera - no strange sound while recording and zooming. But no manual audio.

(snap camera and open camera - possible to use the 2 back cameras for G5)

I think V10 camera + a patch/mod would be perfect. We have to go rooted.
