Try Arnova's version of the app.

---------- Post added at 10:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 PM ----------

Try the very first version 1.0 without the black screen correction, that seemed to work for me.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nightshadow931:
Latest BSG version has black screen for me, the version before works fine.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] fegitoli:
I had the same problem.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] strifej:
Arnova 51018 works fine. With model=pixel xl(corr) and config=6p/pixel 2016/zsl hdr/pizel 2017 zsl hdr+ it all looks pretty much the same to me.

but, there's one thing I noticed is that in HDR everything looks overly saturated. I don't see any settings to lower the saturation? It just looks very fake when in real life the colors aren't so saturated.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Najner:
^ same here. "Auto" gives brighter images, in my opinion worse than stock lg camera. Forced hdr is much better but in very low light conditions images are too dark. I find myself using stock app when I take pictures of my animals/humans. Pixel app is better to shoot still images with no moving object and difficult light conditions (high dynamic range). Anyway I ordered Pixel2 and I hope to compare it with V20 using pixel app - I will share my thoughts with you guys. Cheers!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] chuckmo:
Please try BSG 5.1.016 with Pixel 2017 Zsl HDR+ config. It gives you zero shutter lag with bettee image quality than stock
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ozkaya:
is there any version where Lens Blur is not like twice dark as the regular mode?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] mikey95hd:
New version 5.1.018 v1.1
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Daved+:
With that version I'm not having the white balance problem I had with 5.1.016
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] dimm0k:
not sure about everyone else, but I went to take a bunch of shots last night using Pixel 2017 Zsl Hdr+, Pixel XL(corr), and High for HDR+ parameters and while this looks to be the one with good-great output, I noticed that taking too many photos over time causes the app to get slower and slower even though all the HDR processing has been complete. Zsl slowly turns into non-Zsl until I force close the app... anyone else?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] seii3:
i cant go pixel 2017 zsl hdr+, its keep fc... i had clear data and cache not working =(
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Najner:
Sooooo I promised you guys a little comparison between pixel 2 and V20. Below you can find my results - I know that's not a lot of pictures but I got my pixel for few hours only, maybe I will add some some more photos within few days.

Anyway - each photo has been taken two times on both phones - one with HDR "Auto" and one in "Enhanced" mode. First thing I noticed is that pixel is more snappy but also it often gives you "halo" effect. So far my thoughts are that V20 camera is better with taking still photos of landscapes or objects not moving (due to better sensor and more pixels). Pixel is doing much better in getting fast focus and shutter speed resulting in better picture when object is not perfectly still. Except that pixel feels very "cheap" in the hand in comparison to V20, I don't like it's build at all. It's a bit more snappy and fluid thou (whole system, not camera only).

Cute cat!

Thanks for the pics.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] MikusP:
Thanks a lot for the comparison! One of the most interesting aspects seems to be the difference in white balance estimation. V20 definitely seems to lean to the warmer side most of the time. I'm also quite surprised at how noisy the Pixel seems to be in the low light globe shots.

Also, you seem to have shared your GPS location with the Pixel photos. If you didn't mean to do that you can disable location tags when sharing from the Google Photos settings page.

And yes, your cat and dog are both very cute :p
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nightshadow931:
So you used gcam on v20?

Could you share your settings?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Najner:
[MENTION=4674018]MikusP[/MENTION] - I know about location, I have nothing to hide, but thanks for reminding me ;)

[MENTION=4313195]Nightshadow931[/MENTION] - yes, gCam used. Settings:

Model: Pixel(Corr)

Config camera: Pixel2017 zsl HDR+

HDR+ parameters: default
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Okazar:
For those of you who have the ZSL mode crashing issue, there's a line in your build prop that has ZSL disabled by default ("1" true). Just disable it and take pictures.

Only issue i've ran across is that you have to wait until the HDR processing is done before taking the next shot... annoying
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] dimm0k:
what line is this? I'm able to do ZSL with no change to my build.prop...
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mohawk3:
I have looked through the entire thread and didn't see this mentioned. I'm using a Verizon LG V20 stock, is there any way to have the pictures automatically save to the microsd card? Thank you.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Najner:
Hi mate, it's not possible. Gcam will always save pictures and movies to internal storage.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mohawk3:
Thank you. I figured that was the case, but was hopeful that I missed an option somewhere. I can move the pictures as needed.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ruttin:
Anyone else finding video blurry on the 5.1.018 v1.1? The camera seems to work fine in all modes but video is unusable?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] itstommydean:
Yes. Video is super blurry in all lighting conditions with this version on my H990 DS TWN.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ruttin:
I did find if you reverse the camera and reverse it back then it will focus, just doesn't seem to focus on launch into video mode. Annoying for sure but that is a workaround for me
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Okazar:
TBH my settings are still crashing the app...

i've spent a good 40% of my battery binge dling all these versions and all these parameters and im still crashing non stop no matter what. Ive always closed the app and started new.... What am I missing here
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Paapa:
Have you cleared the data from the app after reinstalling? Also, from personal experience, changes to build.prop can effect gcam. I was running 'Light patch' mod on my system and the app was crashing everytime I ran it.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] paul999:
Anyone know whats in the system/etc/init.d folder?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] thirdzcee:
Probably battery and speed tweaks you flashed... Like AKT, if you're in to those
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] paul999:

[MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION] requesting assistance on the LGV20. version 1.2 was pretty solid, but any version after keeps crashing. with version test mentioned above, it's fine if I disable camera.use_photos in debugging tools and NOT using Gallery to see photos during HDR processing. if I let it process after taking a picture, it seems to be okay. if I go into Gallery during processing then it completely crashes. attached is catlog and also camera2api

Confirm portrait mode works on front camera with this apk. What version and settings of Arnova/GCam are you using for rear camera? Every one I've tried crashes.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] HD2FORNICK:
What's all the fuss about google camera? I saw no real difference in side by side comparisons with the LG camera app. Tried different settings etc.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] saturnspike:
Better HDR in some cases, but mainly Portrait Mode.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] strifej:
I use the google app for any still photo. It does a good job of HDR and making images pop. Not good for super accurate colors but looks great for sharing.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] KUSOsan:
I have mine set to hdr+. Takes a little longer to process but the HDR looks far better than the terrible HDR setting on the V20 cam imo.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] saturnspike:
Update: this one has working portrait mode for the rear camera and installs as GCMod5, and this one is still the only one I've found where portrait mode works (only) on the front camera.

[MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION] on LG V20 and your last apk only the frontal camera portrait mode works when I choose Nexus 6P as model.

When I choose Pixel 2 XL as model both frontal and back camera portrait mode works, but the face in the frontal portrait captured is a lot blurred.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nakashima Taiki:
Thanks
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] cstark27:
It looks like the V20 has some of the same issues as the V30? Some versions have working rear camera including portrait, but FFC is broken in various ways; or the front camera works fine but then the rear is broke.

You can try this modded app, let me know if the front and rear works (HDR+, Portrait Mode). Video is currently broke on my V30 however.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] UL7RA:
Everything seems to be working fine! HDR+ on front and back camera, and I tried Portrait mode on front and it works fine. Don't know about video, just gonna use stock app for that.

EDIT: Seems to be FC-ing at times, but never when taking pictures or processing them.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] cstark27:
Thanks. If you have time, could you uninstall my version and see if this one also FC's randomly as you describe? It is the original one before my modification. As mentioned, I do not have the technical prowess to really fix any issues but I am curious.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] cstark27:
scrubber mod v2

cstark27 v2 based off Scrubber

-Fixed video on Pixel configs

No config needed. Clear Data of app if you have issues.

cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_rTaimen_fAngler_cTaimen_v2 - Recommended version

-Rear camera is set to Taimen (Pixel 2 XL)

-Front camera is set to Angler (Nexus 6P)

-Configuration is set to Pixel 2017 Zsl Hdr

-Front and Rear HDR+ and Portrait works

-Front and Rear video cameras work. No focus issues for me.

-Photos taken with HDR+ On are Zero Shutter Lag. I feel like HDR+ Enhanced photos are sharper.

-Front camera HDR+ On works but HDR+ Enhanced works better in reducing highlights

-HDR+ Control is under Advanced menu

-Saves HDR+ selection after exit, until you go into settings

cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_rMarlin_fAngler_cTaimen_v2

-Rear is Marlin (Pixel XL)

-Front is Angler (Nexus 6P)

-Config is 2017 Pixel zsl hdr

-Same as #1 but uses Pixel XL "model"

cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_rMarlin_fAngler_cMarlin_v2

-Rear is Marlin (Pixel XL)

-Front is Angler (Nexus 6P)

-Config is 2016 Pixel zsl hdr

-Same as #2 with Pixel 2016 zsl hdr config, autofocus in video is buggy; does not save HDR+ selection after exit

cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_rTaimen_fAngler_cAngler_v2

-Rear is Taimen (Pixel 2 XL)

-Front is Angler (Nexus 6P)

-Config is Nexus 6P

-This version has the worst autofocus on my V30, different devices and software may have better result

-Not Zero Shutter Lag

If you have focus issues in video, go to Developer Settings and enable op.camera.nes and see if that helps. Otherwise toggle between front and rear camera while in video mode.

Video not working, it says 'can't connect to the camera'
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] cstark27:
Well that stinks. v1 video didn't work either right?

Please let me know which versions of BSG or Arnova had working video and then no working video. For example, on my V30 Arnovas v1.4 video worked but v1.5 beta video did not work. Preferably they would be 1 release apart so the changes are not many.

How's video in this version: cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_rTaimen_fAngler_cTaimen_v 1.apk

I pretty much only changed 1 line between v1 and v2 so you're not missing anything if v1 works.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] dallas4u:
Just to chime in here... the ONLY version of the GCam you (cstark27) have posted that I get video that "works" is rMarlin_fAngler_cAngler_v1. Video works, but autofocus does not. All v2's and the first two v1's posted give me cant connect to camera errors... but I am using rTaimen_fAngler_cTaimen_v 1 because HDR+ Auto and ZSL are soooo nice :)

Thank you for playing with these for us!

I like the blur effect in these cameras.. . But miss the wide angle and regular camera options in the stock cameras

Just an FYI, for reference... I switched to Arnova's GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-5.1.018.apk posted on 1/19 (yesterday), and video works great (along with autofocus). Portrait and lens blur work. Lens blur on back is very dark though... but video connects and autofocus on video works great.

In case you want to look at that for reference.

[MENTION=2374606]dallas4u[/MENTION] Thanks for the note.

[MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION], I just did a test comparing your camera with stock/Arnova's.

Here are the results

Stock app

https://photos.app.goo.gl/2nWxibaoRqySPng42

Your app

https://photos.app.goo.gl/flCkv668kRx4gu5i2

Arnova's app

https://photos.app.goo.gl/27R5ubGCE8ZAldMS2

Seems like stock is the best after all. For your/arnova's app, I used HDR+ Enhanced. HDR+ parameters set to normal.

Anyway, photo with your app seems to be the worst compared with others.

ISO is set way too high.

How is it acting in low light with your v30?

P.S. - My phone was on tripod while shooting all the photos.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] cstark27:
From the few direct comparisons in low light I've done, my V30 pretty much matches my Pixel 2, outside of having a different color temperature depending on scene. I'll try to do some comparisons to share later. What version of Arnova's? I'll throw that in my compare too.
