[Q] Camera Hardware device - T-Mobile LG G2x

Now I am under the impression that the camera on this phone has greater capabilities then any of the android operating systems (including roms) allow am i correct in this thinking?? and was the lg camera the best?
currently i am running latest eaglesblood which i like very much so.
i am not that tech savy and have a hard time understanding the complexites of video and capture with 720p and all will there be an upgrade?? for cm7 based roms
basically where do we stand and where are we going for 2.3.5 with camera??
ps. same basic question but with hdmi??

IMO the lg camera rules. The CM7 based cameras are very dark, they don't see light properly. Eagles blood does not play nice with stock lg camera. I tried flashing lg cam to it and it replaced both camera apps that come biult in. It also stoped me from getting a signal, and no battery indicator.
Probably try cm7 nightly 2.3.4 and try installing stock camera there. Not sure if that will work. I will try and respond here.

DO NOT USE LG CAMERA WITH CM7 IT IS NOT COMPATIABLE JUST YET. DIDNT YOU READ THE THREAD? THAT IS WHY IT DOESNKT WORKON EB BECAUSE IT IS CM7 BASED. IT WILL BE COMPATABLE BUT doniqcc said it is going to take a lot of work be wise the framework is completely different Anyway that's the deal just be pacient it will happen.

Try installing the latest MIUI... 1.9.11 I believe.
The camera in that is AMAZING. Touch-to-focus works great, and focuses really well. Better than the LG Cam IMO, and it's 2.3.5 based!

import
now i tried the miui rom and in my experience i had so many bugs and fc
would it be possible to import that to cm7 or cm7 based roms?

waiting for the next whole none nightly solid CM7.

jbdaka6445 is right miui sucks. Actually it is a decent looking ROM espicially if you like the ****ty Iphone. But I hafd it installed and Iusually keep a New ROM installed at least a few days but I could not staND ALL THE FC AND BUGS.

If you're looking for a more aesthetic ROM then I'd go with MIUI (im assuming that's what you meant). If you're looking for functionality and stability I'd go with cyanogenmod. MIUI is based off of cyanogenmod although it's not as stable. Also if you prefer the stock vanilla android experience CM7 is closer to stock than MIUI.
miui still needs work, iv had problems starting from rebooting while in call and battery life is not to great.
cm7 is the more stable never had a reboot and battery life one time lasted 1 day 15hrs!
I'm the opposite. MIUI has been very good to me in performance, stability, and battery life. CM7 reboots and has horrid APN problems for me. Just my experience though. In general they are both great ROMs.
Try both and see what you like!
MIUI is only at its early stages of development thus this ROM looks promising. On the other hand, Cm7 will just get better and better. I've tried both and I can say CM7'S latest releases have been really snappy, together wirh the wonderful work of great DEVS its just gonna bring out the best of G2X/NVIDIA TEGRA
Should make the distinction that I was talking about the Whitehawkx's MIUI port. Way more stable than the alpha2 in the dev section.
The only problem I ever had with minuit was really sloe GPS. Which is something I NEED. So that was a buzz kill

Did you try the gingerbread gps fix? I just delete my old gps data and redownloaded and it locks just as fast as froyo
Yea I'm with regP Miui has been really good to me, cm7 was good also but I just prefer Miui with ease to customize it.
Hope that helped.....

Miui is based off CM7.
CM7 is more stock like but with additional features and functions built in.
Miui has a iPhone feel.
I think MIUI was built by the Chinese to make cheap iPhone clones that were actually androids. The software became popular and flourished. It has come a long way since I used it last.
I actually have an up to date CM7 build as my daily driver, saves as a Nandroid backup... as well as the latest MIUI. I have both saved and can restore from CWM to go back and forth.
MIUI is still new for the G2x and has some kinks. I hear an official release will be soon. It works pretty well, in my experience, but has some problems keeping a cellular data connection that requires a reboot. CM7 went through the same growing pains and has overcome that problem so it is only a matter of time before MIUI does the same.

I agree miui looks sweet but until they fix the issues with data and wifi I'd go with cm tons and tons of support for cm vs. Little support for miui .... just my 2ยข

whats gingerbread gps fix?
I have been running MIUI 1.7.26 and have not had any of the issues that other people are having. Wifi works great and so does cell data. Also, GPS locks within seconds for me.
The only issue I have is that wifi calling is not working. This is a know issue though and will be fixed today.
Oh, one other thing to mention, I am running the newest G2x Baseband so that may have something to do with it.

[Q] Best Rom for Xt720

What is the best rom for now XT720.
Stable, with few or no bugs?
miui was the most stable for me, but not as stable as stock
I use miui (the original, not final v2) It's alright but I have heard xda special or cm6 is best. I have used stock 2.1, stock 2.2. I like miui the most out of those 3 at least
Can you give me the link? It is supported by the Portuguese?
If you have other favorite rom can post.
I think the most stable rom that I had was Khals steelblue wanhu. MIUI V2 is probably the fastest that I had.
CM6 is really cool but there are def more bugs in it than other roms.
The XDA Special and Hellmongers RC1 are my favorites that I have tried so far.
I have been using RC1 for about a week straight and I do not have any complaints.
I am eagerly waiting to try RC2. Heading to get my sd card reader here in a couple hourse.
I can't complain with MIUI V2 so far, it's going pretty well, I'd say it's more stable than the stock rom I had.
Cm6 is fast and extremely stable. I haven't had to do a battery pull since I first flashed 6.1.2 until now.... I don't think there are huge bugs left already.

For now my opinion is the XDA Hellmonger Special. Just as fast and smooth as CM6 if not faster plus has more features working such as FM Radio. Plus a final is coming soon. Camera might even be working better not sure, but one thing CM6 has on the Special is bluetooth voice dialing.
Oh and almost bugless, no more bootloop or freezes as long as you flash over CBW sbf
CM7 no doubt
CM7 not work on my XT720 because the baseband and Europe.
But I've used in my old one CM7 Xperia X8 and it is great.
Today, Dexter's 2.2 for me is the best rom.
Many Rom do not have the Portuguese, and I'm Brazilian, I need the Portuguese in my phone.
I used the MIUI XTfinal for a long time, nearly 2 months, and was quite happy with it. Now I am using the CM6 Version of Mioze which I find stable with the new baseband and supercharger multitasking option. Stable and smooth - just how it should be!
Edit: As I am using the LG optimus theme, there comes a Portuguese keyboard (dictionary) with it. Maybe that helps you...

Stock 2.1
Yes, I've tried many many roms before I slipped back to stock StarHubSG 2.1 rom. IMHO, stock roms has less functionality, but are the most stable and power efficient roms. for some visual effects, I replace the stock apps with the whole bunch of Go Dev teams apps. Go Launcher EX, Go Contact EX, Go SMS Pro, Go Dialer, Go Keyboard. everything Go! and too add up some more extra apps, I installed App2Card to make ext2 work. No O/C. Just 720Mhz. It's a life saver.
Now I got an Atrix but still can't get rid of this XT720. Mainly becoz of it's camera. Ya, no one (I mean no phones) can't beat that Xenon flash yet.
Try the cm6, its damn stable. Haven't got to do a battery pull since I first installed it.

The Hellmonger Special is damn stable now and camera working great as well, plus just about everything working. How is the camera and video with CM6 now? I wonder if it is 5megapixel instead of 8? Since it is based from a phone that was 5megapixel? And is it HD recording? I want a ROM with a good camera since that's the biggest reason for purchasing the phone.
Since 3g and mms are fixed now with Mz's baseband updates the only downfall compared to CM6 is can't make bluetooth voice dialed calls yet.
The speed and smoothness of The hellmonger is just as good or better than CM6 as well. CM6 is good to try and get a feel for for now, but the Hellmonger Special is a keeper! Lol
***The M logo freezes are no more since I flashed over the CBW sbf. It was the Singapore SBF that was causing the issue.
Hellmonger's Final coming soon!
...CM6 is built from source for the XT720 using the XT720's libraries. It's not a binary port from A853. 8MP may or may not work, but you're speculating based on false assumptions. In 6.3, the camera and camcorder settings claim 8MP/HD works and they save files but I have not verified the output. That said, CM6 is definately a work-in-progress.
Hellmonger's XDAspecial is a great, very functional and quite optimized ROM that's nearing a final release. It's my second favorite.

Hi spiderx_mm, possible to have that rom which you did?
for all those that said ___'s rom is the most stable. Can you give me a rough ratio as to how many battery pulls you had to do compared to how many your previous roms had?
Or is the whole delightful freezing just a plague to a select few?
Personally I don't care for style or speed, as the most entertainment I get from my xt720 would be reading ebooks. It's the random freezes and constant (somewhat embarassing in public) battery pulls that pisses me off to no end.
I'm using stock 2.1, and wondering if installing a new rom is worth the trouble, or if it even helps with the freezing

So is camera and camcorder working good now in CM6.3? Can you give a brief description/comparison of CM6.3? Why you prefer it over Special? I know it's a tough comparison, or at least not much better or worse between the 2. I tried CM6 briefly but it was when it had the minor camera reboot hiccup. I had some issues but I think it may have been from flashing from XDA Special instead of clean from CBW sbf. One thing I know for sure is better is the Bluetooth works good and fully with CM6.3. That may be a deal breaker for me lol. Also I might have to try CM6 for a while just to narrow down my mms issues. Either way I love both ROM's and don't have a real ***** about anything just minor grumps lol.
***Also I don't think Supercharger worked well with CM6 but can't be sure til I try again. It works beautifully with Special.
No, camera and camcorder still currently suck on CM6--but not because it comes from A853--they suck because I don't understand how to configure the build properly yet.
I was just correcting your assertion that the problem was that CM6 relies on binaries from different hardware. There are very, very few non-XT720-derived files in CM6--see https://github.com/Mioze7Ae/android_vendor_motorola_sholest/blob/froyo/inventory.txt . WanHu, XDAspecial and CM6 are all substantially based on native XT720 ROMs.
I don't really care about which ROM is better than which, but I'll give you my perspective as someone that's worked closely with a few of them:
Unfortunately, Motorola baked a bunch of Koreanisms deep into the XT720 froyo framework. These are very time-consuming to identify and fix because you have to work at the low-level of decompiled dalvik bytecode (smali--essentially assembly language). And just forget about modifying the native parts built from C/C++.
The attraction of the CM6 ROM for me is it comes directly from the same high level languages (C/C++/Java) that is used to develop Android. Source-based ROMs are the easiest to modify. For example, milaq's CM6.3 is CM6final+backported features from CM7.
Dexter's 1.3, CBW froyo, CM7, Ice&Fire, FroyoMod, MIUI are all binary ports of A853 ROMs. I don't get too excited about these ROMs because even if you get the sensors working, they will be just as difficult to modify as Dexter's was. That is, low-level smali edits but additionally starting from the handicap of missing XT720 functionality.
CM7 could be compiled from source using the work that's already been done in CM6.3, but nobody's done that. I'm going to get CM6 into a more finalized state before I do that myself. As far as I can tell the major advances in gingerbread are some new animations and API support for in-app billing.
But anyway, you can imagine my preferences are driven by what I perceive will be easiest to fix in the long term, rather than which has the current best state. I don't think any of the ROMs are flawless, but I know I will get significantly more fixed per unit effort on a source-based ROM. Basically, CM6 is the most tinkerer friendly of our ROMs--download the source and build it yourself--but XDAspecial has the most features and best functionality. I expect CM6 to achieve parity by the end of the year, but it's not there yet.

At this point bud there are so many good ones, there isn't a "best" they all are good in their own ways and they all have bugs. Whenever I think We might have a best one, A bug happens and some other ROM pops up and takes it's place. So the best thing to do is try some of the top ones and decide what you like best. I've already seen where someone will get a little *****y if someone directed him to the "best" and his opinion is different. So the best cannot be declared at this point lmao. Sorry I know that's not what you wanted to hear! lol
They all are about the same as far as lightest and smoothest so I'm not sure. Khal's WanHU is very good except for the contacts and number formats. Khals Miui is great too. Khal's v4 is good and Brianlili's Bravo is good. Mz's CM6.3 is great Then you can try the CM7 ROM's.

Thanks for your reply.
if i just consider for the lightest and smoothest points, then i should choose CM6.3? how about the CM7, it can be daily ROM?
by your experience, among all of them you have tried(all ROMs not only CM), which one have the greatest battery for no significance bugs, lightest and smoothest ?
Sorry for my poor english
Rather than start a new thread, I thought I would post a "me, too". I would like a lean rom, too. But I have a couple of more questions.
I've been away from these forums for way over a year and am overwhelmed by all the activity. Back when I used my G1, there were lists comparing the features of various roms. Is there something similar for the XT720?
I've been using a Nokia N8 and am very unhappy that the USA doesn't have Anna yet, much less Belle and I need a portrait qwerty and am tired of waiting. So I dug my XT720 out of the closet (I bought it at a close-out and never used it because of horrible battery life). It's not a 12mp but it does have xenon flash.
So that's my other question - which roms have stable cameras?
Oh - and USB OTG (Host mode) is also a plus.
Thanks,
Terry
p.s. my sig file desperately needs updating.
Hi, I'm form Venezuela, and i bought the moto xt720 UNLOCKED from USA, and i wanna upgrade the OS but i don't know which one to use... i was thinking for the Cincinnati bell official rom but i don't know the issues it could have, CM7 i couldn't find any for the xt720, so wich rom do not have any issues and are stable to use? I want to stay with my unlocked phone... and i like photography... please help me
thanks
Hello and welcome back.
There are a host or ROMs for this phone right now and it is quite hard to narrow down to "The Best". Each as their own +/-'s and while one might be a monster in speed, it might have poor muti-tasking or bad camera. Here are some of the ROMs we have and some of the +/-'s they have (not all, just some +/-'s).
In no particular order other than the top came out first and bottom is the latest.
2.1 Stock - Came with the phone. You can falsh via RSDlite the sbf file for your region.
2.1 Stock~ESB (Eclair Strikes Back) - Same as above, but has aorking app2ext, camera, FM Radio. Still it is 2.1
Dexters 2.2 with MZ patch - First successful attempt to port 2.2 to our phones. All features of 2.2 but camera is sketch and FM radio doesn't work (unless you apply FJfalcon radio patch but then it is still loud), media button doesn't work.
Kahlpower's V2/3/4 - Optimized version of Dexters. Same issues as above but is more stable and generally was the choice as a "home" ROM for many users. I have my wife on this one as we speak. Low maintenance, a good everyday driver. Has App2ext/ Link2sd, native Froyo App2sd.
Cincinnati Bell's "official" 2.2 - More or less a glorified version of Dexters 2.2 but I think the Mioz7AE found a "listening" script that may or may not send info back to developer. I would stay away from this one. Plenty more to choose from.
Wanhu 2.2 (also Wanhu's Kahl's Optimized) - Korean port of 2.2. FM radio and camera does work. Number formatting is off. App2ext works fine as does native Froyo app2sd.
XDA Special/ Hellmonger Edition - This was moveing really well and then Hellmonger's phone crapped out on him and his carrier gave him an HTC Penache, so no more support for this one. But is DOES work and worth a try.
CM6 - our developer Mioze7Ae's masterpiece (for now until he moves on to something else) All the features of CM6, including themer. Has App2ext and Link2sd.
WIPs
Brianlili's Brovo 2.2 - This one is almost done, jsut a few little thing to finish it off.
JYDaddy's CM7 (nightly/ HoNo/ iceandfire...)
FJfalcon's CM7.1 (make massive progress daily on this one as it is being built from source).
Like I said there are +/-'s to each but the are all spelled out for you in the OP of each thread. Plus, unlike other phone forums, we actually answer your questions and dont respond with, "search".
Good luck and remember to always BACK UP.
Nice work Woodrube! Should be very helpful, just about covered as good as we can, everything is a tossup at this point lol. I was thinking Khal's MIUI would be a good option as well it's really stable from what I can Remember. I forget what the bugs are in that one.
Hi Terry,
One thing you specifically asked about was the camera in each of the ROMs. And unfortunately, in my experience the camera has always been a problem with all the ROMs, including Motorola's 2.1 ROM. Its a bit of a shame considering the 8mp cam and the xenon flash. One thing that seems to be consistent across the ROMs is that the first picture usually takes awhile to process before you can take another (if it doesn't crash) but after the first they tend to do well picture-to-picture afterwards. Not sure why that is.
Has anyone else had a really good experience with this camera? If so which ROM?
I've personally tried:
Motorola Shipping ROM-European (2.1)
Dexters v13 (2.2)
Khals-v4 (2.2)
MIUI Final v2 (2.2) - I had the best experience with this camera, but other MIUI things I didn't like
CM 6.3 (2.2) - Current ROM (Thanks MZ!) - works, but has 1st picture lag
Best,
Jayson

I think the best for cam's is Khal's v4 steelblue and his WanHU And probably his MIUI, I forget but Khal was good at tweaking the cam's. The Bravo cam's are very good as well.
***EDIT*** Talking about camera
Thanks for all the responses. I rooted the phone this weekend but didn't have time to research the various recoveries before getting ready to try a new rom. And I need to buy a bigger microsd card and partition it.
Thanks for the warning about the first picture lag, too. I tend to take a lot of macro, close-up pictures - often text and barcodes, so I could probably live with it.
The unmodified camera is touchy, it seems to me in comparison to other phones. I get the occasional awesome image and lots of fumbled ones. The buttons are oddly placed and the phone is so thin that when trying to take a picture, I often accidentally touch the screen and mess something up.
If someone ever ported Android to a new Nokia, that would be awesome. (I had it dually booting on the Nokia N900 but it was never very usable.) Maybe the new WP7 on Nokia hardware will tempt someone into porting Android to it.

Here is a thread from our master developer that has the Recovery that we are all using. It is really a piece of art. Install instructions are in the OP.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242259
Also, not sure if you are in the states or not, but I have noticed in the Sunday papers that Best Buy has micro-SDCards for cheap.
For partitioning, I use MiniTool Partition Wizard and the seems to do the trick for me w/o data loss. Others use GParted/ Linux. I've never used in, so I cannot say one way or the other. Tip: only partition your ext to ext 3 and use the recovery above to change it to ext4 (only a few ROMs use ext4 so read the OPs)

[Q] Is Cyanogenmod9 worth it?

So i've been doing some research about cyanogen mod 9 for my HTC desire and have read all the people's comments about how good it is but an still not convinced. I mean that i've heared that cyanogenmod 9 does not make your camera work. Thats a major set back isn't it? Also there are some other serious probs e.g WiFi, Google play apps e.t.c. So is cyanogenmod 9 worth all these troubles? Whats the up side?
The main benefit, is it gives people like me who own devices (samsung infuse) that dont get official ICS updates. It runs great on my device, and i prefer it to any other rom ive tried, but i use my sixaxis controller with my phone, and due to bluetooth not working im using CM7 til that issue is resolved. but in all honesty CM9 is the best custom Rom available for my device at least it you dont need bluetooth. it runs great and my battery life is great.
what about andriod apps. do apps run on such a firmware.
(espicially games)??
They certainly do! It's just like a normal ICS device - there's the Play Market and you can install any app suited for ICS
BTW, CM9 rocks, AOKP even more!
I Cyanogen 9 with my HTC ONE X. I also have problems with the Bluetooth works partially. After each ROM is different. Much like me, flash your phone to find THE right ROM.
Cyanogenmod 9 is brilliant if it's stable build. From your description they're still working on it,so I'd urge you be patient and try cyanogenmod 7 instead.
Or,check out MIUI4 rom if you're still interested in ICS
Sent from my U8150 using XDA
The matureness of CM9 depends also on the device you own, and the available or unavailable drivers - in your case it seems there are problems with the cam.
I suggest to get CM7.2 instead, till those problems are fixed on your device.
CM9 will always run as It provides you the best latest features from google.
Only "problem" I've experienced on CM9 on my Epic 4g is that Dead Space is no longer recognized as an authorized device. Other than that, I enjoy using it over GB. It feels like the interface makes "more sense," but of course that's just a personal preference.
I not a huge fan of CM9 ...as i ahev flashed in S2 couple of times ...but still the force close issue persist with the nightly builds(ICS)...!!

Using experimental cm9 build on Atrix. It's worth it, but it comes with sacrifices.
My phone is much much faster, smoother, and prettier. But at the cost of stability with the camcorder, and some obscure cm7 features.

[Q] Camera pictures quality in AOSP ROMs

I have flashed some AOSP ROMs like CM and Kang and the although the camera works the quality of pictures especially in low light is terrible.
I have tested a couple of times taking pictures with CM and then the same picture with stock Sense. The ASOP pictures come out with a greenish hue.
This leads to my question, is this something the Devs can improve with time or is this a trade-off of not using a ROM based on the Sense framework?

It can be improved, but there are much more important things to do/fix as of now. And it may require a lot of work. It is at the bottom of a lot of developer's lists.
yeah I totally respect the Devs work and for the most part just wondered if it was technically possible.
thanks for the answer.
Will wait patiently..lol
Same I am very thankful to the Dev's.
Curiously though, so it seems that my best bet is to root my phone but to keep the stock ICS android on it becuase otherwise I lose sense4 and the supposedly better camera software htc preinstalled on it?
Thanks so much! cheers.

If you like sense, then stick with the Sense-based ROMs. As for the camera, the hardware is still fully capable of taking the same quality pictures whether you are using AOSP or Sense ROMs.
The camera software is different in AOSP and may not have all of the features included in Sense (yet) and the picture quality might be a little worse off in AOSP, but the AOSP ROMs are still in alpha. The developers are working hard to create a stable, fully functional AOSP ROM... it's just going to take a little time. It doesn't hurt to try the AOSP roms out and see for yourself, just don't expect everything to be working flawlessly.
