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.
If you need help PM me and I could help you flashing your phone and doing all those good things

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?

Hi
Can anyone help in this issue.. I tried this question with few ROM mods but could not get an answer..
I flashed GB baseband and tried every single ROMs including stock ROM (both 18a and 21a). When I was using 2.2.2 (Froyo) I used modded skype (with tweaks) and was able to use front camera. After update to GB my skype is not using both front and back camera. I am able to see the video of the other person and instead of my video i am seeing a small black frame on my screen which is suppose to show my video.
Is this common and will it be fixed when the official GB is released by LG (i think it is expected on 5th December)
can you post the link to the moded skype ?? i don't have it
maybe they can release an update.

I m able to use the back camera. you need to have preview surface enabled in the options. Front camera doesnt work though.

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.

I FIND LG CAM 1.5 that front cam works great at other apps
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.

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
I just tried this mod of a camera and I can confirm that it works on CM7 (CM7.2.0-RC1) for the G2x.
I'm sorry for reposting a thread that has probably been made but I haven't seen anywhere else that this has been posted.
The Single post has been pulled from the Optimus 2x forums.

It's a LG Camera for CM7 (thanks to Stefan and francarl) with bitrate/fps/mp4 modifications.
Bitrate and fps values are taken from v1 of AndiCP's Mod, and should be:
Video quality 1080p:
Set FPS from 24 to 30 (varies a little, similar to stock LG app)
Set normal video quality from 5Mbps to 7Mbps (= fine in stock LG app)
Set fine video quality from 7Mbps to 12Mbps
Set superfine video quality from 9Mbps to 17Mbps
Video quality 720p:
Set normal video quality from 2Mbps to 4Mbps (= superfine in stock LG app)
Set fine video quality from 3Mbps to 9Mbps
Set superfine video quality from 4Mbps to 14Mbps

The only bug I've encoutnered so far is that you can't zoom while video recording, everything else seems to be working just fine. I wonder if there's an updated fixed version out yet for this, since the post is from January.

Yeah, I'm encountering that bug too, I'm assuming it's because the mod uses higher quality rendering than the stock Froyo one from LG. The container is also set to mp4 instead of 3gp. see the original post up above.
It's been said to leave the program alone when you stop video recording for a few seconds. It should go back to normal. I don't have any problems with freezing.
Try turning off auto review and see if it works.

Turned off auto review and waited a few seconds, no hang. But FC when I switched back to still camera.
Then went to settings and turned auto review back on. Now all seems to be working correctly.

I fixed my front facing camera being upside down by replacing the libcamera.so from the flashable zip with the libcamera.so that I got when I updated my baseband to March 11 2012. Just an FYI for those who updated that want to try this.
Mod works perfectly fine on stock 2.3.4 that was available by LG recently.
Yes, thanks. You never know what will work. My FFC appears to be working OK. with the file from the OP's post. Not sure what I would get to use the one from January.... an option should this one hang again.
I am coming back from ICS as I have needed a working camera recently. Waiting for some additional work on the new 2.3.4 release to see if the BB exclusivity issue can be cracked. If you are foolishly optimistic, that one day release was a dry run for the G2x ICS update

What exactly did you do to get it to work? I might update my girlfriend's phone to stock 2.3.4 and wanted to know what you did to get the camera to work on that rom
All I did was:
Update the phone to 2.3.4.
Reinstall CWM.
Downloaded owain94's version of the LG Camera from the link I posted.
Made a copy of the 2.3.4 libcamera.so under /system/lib.
Install lg camera's zip from CWM.
Put back the 2.3.4 libcamera.so into /system/lib
Do not touch the auto review after you put back the 2.3.4 libcamera.so, otherwise you'll have to do it again. It won't record video and will FC.
Everything works fine for on Hellfire 2.1 GB....EXCEPT ..zoom while vid recording.
Any fixes for that?

The FFC is still upside down when you put the phone into landscape mode.
Yeah I noticed that yesterday. But honestly, for what I use the camera for, it didn't bother me.
With that, I have no idea how to fix it.
