Hello, im new to the G2X but coming from the Hd2 im pretty familiar with rom flashing and what not so yesterday i flashed WeaponG2x rom to my phone, but the lg camera was super dim on my screen. so i flashed the stock camera which fixed the dimness, but now the FFC photo quality is super poor Is there another camera i can use that will give me decent quality FFC pics? on the HD2 i used the MIUI camera, is that possible on the G2X? or can anyone recommend one from the market? thanks
Not sure if you are actually experiencing an issue. The FFC has significantly less resolution than the rear camera so image quality will be much lower.

that "statis" is due to the crappy image sensor. nothing u can do about it.
Try taking a picture in daylight outside. Should be better.
I am having the same issue after updating to Weapon G2x 2.4 Rom. Its great because I finally got the original LG camera back, but the FFC when in camera mode shows the picture in a horizontal layout while I am holding my phone in a veritcal position. Also, when in Camcorder mode the video start cutting out (green screen, static, lines, etc.) unless pretty much. I wonder if this would be fixed down the road and hopefully they dont remove the original LG Camera. I noticed the developer has a link to update to Gingerbread camera. I am new to all this and is my first time flashing a phone due to (LG/T-Mobile) allowing such a bad product to be sold.
You have to wait for update

Yeah the LG camera is still a work in progress they are definitly aware of it. They will have it fixed. You can follow progress if you go to the development section and find the post for stock froyo camera on gingerbread. then you can update yourself when they come out with the next version. I am using the LG camera on zboarders stock tweeked rom and the only issues really are like you said the FFC is horizontal and in video mode the zoom only works wile not recording. If you press the vol up\down while recording it shows the zoom bar but it doesnt zoom. And if you notice most video cameras dont do that anyway. I have not experienced the cut outs or green screens yet but I also dont shoot alot of video. Here is a link to the dedv page for the LG camera http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1166531
Hi, i'm using Eagleblood 1.8 right now and i've been having this issue with my camera. The front facing camera screen is always tilted at a 180 degree angle (so your face is sideways) and the rear camera looks normal, but most of the pictures come out upside down when you go back to review them.
It's not a huge problem but just a bit bothersome. I was wondering if it was a screen calibration issue, but it seems like the g2x doesn't have any settings to recalibrate from what I read here. What do you all think?
If im not mistaken gingerbread comes with this preinstalled. It's still in beta. Flash this to restore the stock camera.
Guys I use HTC Explorer/pico... I wanted to know that if a front cam can be installed in our device as it certainly lacks one...and if it can't be installed then can the back camera be used for video calling??

From a hardware point of view it would be pretty easy to install a front facing camera. All you would then have to do would be develop some housing (casing) for it. But you would need to create a rom with or add to your current rom, coding that allows the use of the camera. Like a driver.
In short, it's a mission creating a front facing camera. I would suggest updating.
Same issue with my xperia x8 though. I might get a samsung nexus or s3. Also about the back camera thing, you could easily use this for video calling but it would be very inconvenient to video call someone if you could not see them.
Sorry if this is not what you wanted. Please thank me if you appreciate it.
Wow thats in depthv :laugh:
Yes it would be quite hard installing a front facing camera.
better buy a phone with front cam rather than fixing it on the explorer:angel:
I just got a razr hd from swappa and it seemed to be in great condition. I rooted it but have not installed any ROMs. Whenever I try to use the front camera the phone freezes. Anyone have any experience with this? I didn't test the camera before rooting it since I don't use it that much.

Anyone know how to fix this? Using the stock camera, the front facing camera looks fine.. but using WhatsApp it looks as though it doesn't have the correct drivers/doens't have the correct api and quality is so much worse.
Thanks
