I've been running CM7, MIUI and Weapon for a while, but i've noticed that the front camera gets REALLY dark, but only if i'am in a dark place, I know that sounds stupid, but when I flashed 2.2.2 or 2.3.4 the pictures with FFC becames MUCH more clear and with more light in the same place!!
One more thing, did anybody notice that the led flash in 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 do like 3 flashes and takes more time to shoot??
Is there a way to fix any of this bugs? I prefer the MIUI camera over the 2.3.4 camera but it's MUCH more darker when I don't have much light in the ambient.
Thanks in advance, sorry for beeing noob....
Please, nobody can tell me if this is a issue with just me, or, if everybody is having it??
And if there is a way to fix it...
I haven't seen any one with this issue, I don't use the front facing camera myself. My only guess would be to try the Bravia mod, maybe it can take care of the issue.

I now this could seem stupid, but is the glass over the camera clean? That can effect light exposure. Also if you are using the MIUI Camera is the brightness setting at low?
The back camera it's very good actually, the only problem is the front, I usually use to chat with my girl while i'am in the computer (as I don't have a webcam I use the g2x), the ambient where i'am is little dark, just have the light of computer, but when I use the 2.3.4 version the video chat gets REALLY clear and good, but with MIUI and CM7 the video chat becomes very dark (camera too).. :/ thats sucks because I like MIUI over all roms but the front camera gets reeeeeally dark in some places....
Please guys help me, I use front camera all the time :// really that no one is having the problems I'am having?
What I think it's weird is that the official 2.3 front camera is very dark in ambients with little light....anyone know how to fix it?
Just 2.2 and 2.3.4 don't have that bug.

I think that is because 2.2 is using the LG Cam interface which is a lot better than the 2.3.3 stock software. There is not fix at this time.

Thanks for the tips, guys, but the problem still here... I really don't know what the causes, and it's not the lg cam, because when I use 2.3.4 I have really good light in front camera even with the aosp camera, I'm gonna keep using miui and just deal with the problem, cause miui > all (for me)

Again it is built into the software of the Gingerbread 2.3.3 version only. It can not be fixed, it has been tried but will not work. Froyo 2.2 and Gingerbread 2.3.4 use different cam software even though they are stock aosp on 2.3.4.
Thanks man, gonna try to deal with this for a while, cause I thinks the back camera in 2.3.4 it's very dark, so I'm just use my miui and be happy

Im just a little confused here, I have a rooted t-mobile G2x. With the Weapon G2x rom that I picked up from the dev forum. From what I can tell its just a stock 2.3.3 rom with some customization's. Anyhow the issue I am having is that Google Talk video chat refuses to use the front facing camera, it seems to work fine otherwise just cant find any way to force it to use the front camera. Anybody have any ideas on this one?

I had CM7.1 on here for a bit, bit it was kinda flaky. Music skipping for no obvious reason, locally or streaming. Random crashes and weird bugs. So I flashed Weapon G2x which seems to have resolved most of those issues, but I miss all the configuration options! I think the dev's are doing a great job and I cant wait to see what this thing will do with a stable and fully featured ROM!
My only real complaint with this phone is the lack of a notification LED. I rooted to CM7 pretty much just for the blinking buttons in place of an notification light. But it appears I no longer have that option after flashing this rom. Do you know if there are any standalone "patches" for that?

There's a free app in the market called "LG 2X/Black/3D Notifications" and it will allow you to set the buttons to blink like you want in addition to customizing their brightness. Great app, one of the first things I installed on this phone--I miss the multi-coloured LED light on my old X10.
Hi..
I just got an LG G2X with GB 2.3.3 update installed stock.
1. I've noticed the 1080p/24fps option is missing on the video camera settings.
2. The touch focus is not working either. It's supposed to focus while recording video and you touch the screen.
I bought the phone because of these features, so Im very disappointed they are not included. Any ideas.
All those features were present with Froyo. So what you really want is the LG camera app. After the Gingerbread update it was replaced by the Google camera app.
But you can flash your phone with Weapon G2X 2.5 which has the LG camera app included.

Why would LG do that? I mean, why put a rom which disables the features that give value to the phone such as 1080p video?....Not only that, like I mentioned before, I bought the phone for the features and now what?..
That means that a person that doesn't know how to flash a different ROM is screwed...so they end up returning the phone...this is really bad business... If LG needed to flash a new ROM to fix all bugs, they shouldve given us a complete ROM which would have all the features the phone has.
i dont want to go install the old rom due to all the bugs it has. So, in other words.. this phone is most likely going back.

I know, I would be dissapointed as well.
What you can do is either what the previous poster said or you could flash a Froyo ROM which would have all the features that you bought this phone for.

Well.. I know how to flash roms.. I just need to know where I can find them and which ones have the least bugs..I would appreciate it if you can tell me where to find them.
I just dont want to flash an old rom which is the reason LG had to update the G2X due to all the bugs froyo has.
..thanks.

I felt the same way you do after i did the Gingerbread update.
But here's the link to the ROM you'd be interested to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1207125
It's an AWESOME ROM!
Match it with this Kernel and you have a pretty nice handset:

Thanks dude... do you know anything about recording 1080p/30 fps on the g2x... someone told me that somewhere in xda there is something about it?
And how come you have 2.3.5 CM7 nightly..is that better?
With the Gingerbread google camera it already allows you to record in 1080p HD 30/fps its just not showed as 1080p.
I like the CM7 2.3.5 only because i think it's a more stable ROM..but you won't be able to flash the LG camera app. For some reason the LG Camera app is not compatible with 2.3.5 or CM7 base ROMs.
But i'm actually now running Eaglesblood 2.3.5 which is a CM7 base...so i have the best of both worlds.

what about touch focus?... does it work with your rom.. like.. when you're recording and you touch the screen does it focus on a close object?
also...
what about Netflix..does it work properly for you.. It plays for me but fast speed.
And there are some really cool themes for the weapon rom in the themes section, or follow my sig.

Touch focus on video doesn't work for me but it does for camera. And honestly i have no complains except that i don't have a choice of storage..whether to SD or Internal.
Haven't really tried Netflix yet...but i will.
And just like what mmapcpro said...Weapon has some pretty sick themes.
I get a black screen after flashing the kernel..it wont boot up... I wiped cache. any ideas?

Lol yes. That's up to the people working on it, and I believe that is at a stand still right now. So you kindof have to take it as it is. If the benefits outweigh your old camera then use it. If not you'll have to switch back to the other camera.

the only bug is the pic will turn 90° when you turn on the front cam at cam app
so LG cam 1.5 seem to be better than 3.0
some one knows how to make the flash light turn off when cam app start?

If you are talking about having the LG Cam from Froyo and the Gingerbread Cam software, you can not have both at the same time. You would have to flash between them when you wanted to use the other.

Hi everyone.
I am peekaypee from San Diego and like very much my stock 2.3.3 LG G2X except for one thing: The camera!
I never had Froyo, but heard from others that it was far superior to the stock Gingerbread camera app I am using. I have tried all the camera apps from the Market and none of them correct my biggest complaint: Poor pic quality in lowlight. I can't hardly see the picture. I have seen other people use their stock android camera and it will shoot pics much brighter not using the flash too. I have adjusted the exposure to plus 3 and it looks a tiny bit lighter, but then darkens after shot. Overall it's still super dark.
Am I being realistic to think the LG stock camera app or something else modded will work better?
Any help from experienced users is greatly appreciated.
Again, thanks for all you do as I find all the posts interesting and informative.
Sincerely peekaypee in SD.

Hey spyvie, does this LGv3.0 camera app take decent pics in lowlight? That is my biggest problem with the stock one.
Also, Is that rom hard to load? I guess I would need to root first but am willing to give it a try. Is there some real simple, straightforward steps to rooting and installing your recommended rom and the LG camera app?

Hey ya guys!
I'm facing a weird problem lately with my Sensation.
If i want to record a video with the camcorder (no matter the resolution) the camera seems to zoom in a notch and then the recording starts. When i'm switching back to camera (photo) it zooms that notch out again.
I've tried various ROMs (AOSP, CM9, CM10, Sense 3.6, 4, 4.1 etc) but it doesn't seem to be ROM related...
Now to rule out that im not totally being mental, i grabed the HTC One V of my girlfriend and tested it - all went fine, video recording without zooming in first...
Has anybody encountered the same problem? Is there something i can do to fix it?
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!!!!
Have you tried disabling the 'auto focus' (untick it) in the camera setting??

This is normal and has to do with the electronic image stabilization which needs to reserve some out-of-screen pixels to work.
@ zeru150r
Did that, didn't help...
@ patspdaphone
Are you sure? If so then i don't have to worry...
Only thing is i don't recall it to be that way...
I've just understood what you're trying to say, and in my opinion that is not a problem, just like what @patspdaphone said.
I'm having that "problem" too in my sensation.
Cool then!
The whole thing got me upset cause it came just now to my attention...after a whole year with the Sensation....
