Hi everybody,
A lot of people buy that model because of camera quality, a lot of us like AOSP based roms. But the camera lost quality because of LG framework issue. I tryed i lot of camera programs, but results are worst. Only the apk LG camera for AOSP (for LG2) get very good quality, and i compared to stock LG G3 camera. But that apk not give any settings, also flash setings on CM12 based roms. I am sure it is big issue for all of us. If simebody can recommend some solution, will be great!

Hi, same for me. I only hope some dev can give it a try and solve this issue... Fix the G2 apk could be a nice start ! At least fix the settungs like you said.
Btw, give a try to resurrection remix rom, cause the camera quality is very nice. I'm on it since the beginnig and recording is so far better than the others, smooth and fast. It's probably between stock LG camera and XCam
i Think its a Driver Problem
Camera quality cant be solved yet.I read somewhere that devs are trying to improve but i think that quality wont even get close to stock .
Hope for the best
Jishnu's Camera f40
Jishnu's Camera f40 give perfect quality, i compared to stock LG Camera on stock firmware, and no difinerenses. But settings works not properly. And problem with size of camera monitoring on display, but size of pictures are right. I tryed on Resurrection Lollipop v5.2.5 and 5.0.2 Euphoria-OS 1.0. I think some little tuning of mod and we can get best present to ney year.

i remember his work for G2. i hope someone could pick this up where he leaved!
i think many of us would honor this and donate for a aosp quality cam solution!
Jishnu's Camera the MOD for the Stock anyone has some news about it? for the Lollipop
Maybe it's possible to port the LG framework to aosp or just the libs it require to make the camera works. I remember the folks at miui used to make a ton based on the stock one so all the things works fine. So if we could make a port of cm inside the stock or the other we could make it work.
I am also thought about that. I hope one of developers will give us good solution. I am sure a lot of us will donate for that issue.

This wouldn't work for me. It mounts and installed into /system/app, but I noticed in Illusion, that folder is filled with folders, unlike in older versions of android. I also tried manually installing the APK into the same folder as the original camera app, removing it and correcting permissions, but no go.

You have to flash it through recovery. That works, but it's not otimized for the QHD screen yet, and it only registers as 8 megapixels

That didn't work for me. It simply installs the apk into /system/app, unlike any other application in there. Might just be the ROM I'm on.

I was going to post this in the Droid Kang ROM thread, but I don't have enough posts to post in the developers forum.
I finally jumped ship from stock and ended up on the Droid Kang ROM. I'm liking it quite a lot, but two issues with the camera that I didn't have before:
- Is there any way to make the volume keys take a picture?
- Face detection isn't enabled anymore (which links to focus and exposure)
Is there an option somewhere that I'm missing? Or a camera apk update that I could do?
Thanks in advance!
bump...any thoughts?
Your best option would be to use a different camera app like Camera FV-5.. ProCapture...

Hi guys,
I was wondering if there is any options left to improve sound and camera quality on the Nexus 5? My hearing isn't the greatest but I can hear perfectly fine on my moms cell and other cell phones. If I could get the volume a tad higher on my Nexus 5 that would be great. Also, another problem I am having is I have Rottweiler puppies that I am trying to get pictures of. They don't like to sit still so I am always having to refocus and when I try to refocus the pictures just look like crap. Like the lighting is always messed up and stuff. Is there any way to fix this? I use to use the volume mod and camera mod which seamed to help a bit. However, I do not see any new releases for the newest android build. I had tried installing them a while back and I could not boot so I don't think they are compatible anymore. If someone could offer me some alternatives I would be very appreciative.
I got one more question as well. If I want to fully clean my internal storage before installing a custom rom what is the best way to do so? Is there anyway to remove the folders for installed programs but still keep the files there needed for rooting? I hope that makes sense. After doing a factory reset I still see folders from previously installed programs and apps.
Thanks,
Rocky
I would seriously consider installing Jishnu's Camera Fix. Make sure to grab Version 1.5. I had similar complaints not too long ago and this mod fixed most of them. Best of all, you don't have to download any new Camera apps, this mod just tweaks pre-existing files.
The download links were removed from that thread for some reason. Here's a download link to the latest version: N5_Cam_V1.5.zip

I'm assuming it'll work with any Stock or AOSP based roms. I'm currently running CM11 M9, using the Google Camera app, and it worked beautifully.

Hiya guys,
I am still having problems with the volume on my phone. In call it is very low! I have never heard it this low. I don't know what the heck happened but it seams like its even lower than normal now. I have tried viper4android but it doesn't seam like its making much of a difference. I'm not sure if it even affects in call volume or not. If any of you guys have any solutions please let me know.
Thanks,

Hi guys,
I don't know if somebody had already created such thread, but I want to ask you if anybody know any app which allows me to use manual focusing, expositure, shutter speed and/or/will support RAW format. I know, lumia 1020 has such camera app, but I didn't find ported version
I have AOSP ROM, so I am unable to use LG G2's camera app, which allows me most of the things I've mentioned.
Look in the g2 forums, there is a flashable camera for aosp ROMs and works great on the g3.
In which thread it is or how its called?
EDIT I found the one you've mentioned. LG Stock Camera for AOSP ROMs
Could you post a link for reference? Thank you

If you're still looking for it, I'm using Mi2Raw Camera app for capturing RAW photos on my G2 with OptimusG3 ROM. It works great, you can also manually focus by tapping the screen or adjust the exposure. But the app itself still needs some work... I'm not sure if it's going to work on the G3, but you can try it as it works on G3-based ROMs.

Hi everybody. The camera is a big issue for everybody who use cm12. I checked already more than 10 cameta programs, but no one good solution. I tryed LG Camera for AOSP, its was done for LG G2, and that apk is working very good like stock apk. But on CM12 the apk not show setings, nothing at all, but in automatic mode that apk get the best pictures quality till yet. I hope somebody from developers will find solution for that big issue for all G3 ussers, because a lot of people buy that model because of good camera.

I have tried the app you had posted, but it seems like it does not work on LG G3, it showed me a message that "This app only works for LG G2, Xiaomi..." and some other phones.
I am now runing the AN HD ROM, because I had some troubles with the CM12 ROM - battery drain, heating up and my camera wasnt working at all (FC, camera freezed after taking pic with flash and the quality of the pics were really poor).
Thanks for the tips, tho.

sorry for being so late, here it is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540030
G3 doesnt support exposuretime and manual shutter.
Also manual focus is broken with l.
With l the camparameters returns exposuretime but its ignored when setting it to the cam.
That means for camera2 the g3 will stay as legacy device and will not have manual settings and dng support. We have to wait for the g4 to get full camera2 support. These are just my thoughts because i know that lg not cares about adding new features to old devices....

But it is software thing, not hardware.

Just want to ask, is it possible to shoot RAW on G3 with lolipoop? Have G3 support for camera API 2.0? Is it any change to find it out? Im using Mi2RAW but I will miss it on A5.0.
Try this (Open Camera) on CM 5.0
Very nice Camera n alot of setting good luck .
I wonder if anyone managed to get camera quality as god as stock roms :/ The camera is the only thing keeping me away from AOSP Roms...

I found this post:www.xda-developers.com/xda-external-link/how-to-port-fully-featured-sony-xperia-z4-camera/
However I'm just a flash junky and can't be sure I will be able to do this without messing up something, but it seems easy enough for anyone with a little code-knowledge.
So if anyone has any spare time, maybe you can get around to porting this. I for one, would love this on my G2.
Me too, but I think it needs to be incorporated in the ROM you're flashing instead of just flashing a zip through TWRP like you would normally do. I don't know how to do that..
Jishnu Sur porting it but as I know just for AOSP based roms.
it needs framework.jar editing which is different in every AOSP, CM Roms
Well,if somebody could do it for the official CM12.1 nightlies,and update it frequently,it would be awesome.
There is a guide to port the Xperia SystemUI/Lockscreen to CM12.1 too.
Official CM12.1 would be a good core,since it has the biggest probability of working with guides(with the fact that it's framework isn't filled with as much junk as the one in other ROMs).
We have the Xperia Z4 CM12.1 themes,the Xperia Z3+/Z4 Launcher,the Clock Widget,the Media Apps,the Xperia Keyboard. With the SystemUI and Camera,we could have a pretty good Debrand ROM.

Not sure what bugs you have with it. Been using it for months without a single issue. Mind you I dont touch CM roms just AOSP based roms like Slim and DU
out of curiousity, i ported it to my current ROM Dirty Unicorns.v9.5
played with it a little.
Sweep Panorama gives you Error,
Creative Effect not working (you cant click or shoot or record)
FC on Main Camera App, the solution is to Run it via Widget.
@xperiaz2
i'm just curious inside the original updater script which is to set permission to "display_color_calib" in /system/bin that nowhere to be found in the flashable Z4CamPort.zip and i double check my D.U Rom.v9.5 /system/bin its not there too.

that image is not good for judging the photo quality...
1. it's too small, and probabbly compressed when uploaded on xda
2. it doesn't have much detail to judge color/sharpness/contrast quality
suggestion:
1. put a full resolution image somewhere and share a link here
2. take a few pictures of several lighting situations inside and outside the house with prefferably more details apart a power bank and nestle chuckie - so people can see how it works in real life... and also put the link to full res pics here...
thanks in advance...
Well,I tried to port the camera to CM12.1 nightly 12.8.2015. .
The thing is that I had to backsmali and smali the classes2.dex file as if it was classes.dex .
Although I was told to use the Backsmali-Smali Manager,I didn't know how to make it even recognize the .dex files,as it would only recognize framework.jar files.
So,I did it with the ApkTool. But I guess it was made for parts of the lower Android OS versions,and after backsmaling,editing,recompiling framework.jar,moving it back into system/framework and fixing permissions,the phone entered a boot loop.
Any suggestion on how to make Smali-Backsmali Manager recognize .dex files?
as the title says, i dont want to revert back to stock firmware, but would like to make use of the original camera app, since every other one doesnt really utilize the available hardware to its full potential...

im not quite sure what you mean, but the hwcamera from either honor8 or p9 are not working on a CM ROM. it needs libs to actually be shown as an installed app.
i tried every proper camera app: cameringo+, retrica, fv5, camera-fx, open camera
and even silly ones: 360, candy camera
all of the above either dont run at all, produce sub-par results since they dont address the camera api/kernel properly, and none can capture video properly at min 30fps.
as long as this very decent camera in this phones pricerange isnt properly used in custom ROMS, im not even bothering with any builds. its just a waste of time, when the core selling point for this phone isnt working properly.
id love to keep using resurrectionremix, since i love that ROM, but as mentioned above - waste

This is something you deal with when you CM/aosp based roms. People think they can have their cake and eat it to. This is not the case. CM has had bad camera code for years and they really can't do anything about it without recording their libs and system from the ground up.
