Hey folks. Wondering if someone can chime in on the possibility of this...
I want the Camera app from the factory LG rom to work on AOSP phones. only because its HDR ability was much better than any app I have tried to fill that void since I switched to CM. Also it's Manual focus was a nice feature among many other things.
I assume it'd need LG's Framework as well to make it work, but if anyone can try to piece this together, or get me the files Id need (I'm no longer on LG's rom) Id be very grateful!

Focal is going to perform roughly the same as stock CM camera. We need the stock LG camera from the G2 as it can better interface with the hardware, not to mention has device specific tuning for the hardware. No other camera will be able to compete with the stock G2 camera.
To the request, i spent some time trying to get it to work few days ago. Not much progress, others have posted that hey manged to get the camera app to completely start up and take pictures, i have not made this much progress. Wish they would have posted theirs.
There is already a discussion about this in the Att-dev section.

Focal doesnt work for me. I'm on newest CM nightly, and pressing the shutter button in focal causes a FC every time.
As an update, I took the apks and odexs from the LG rom for LGCamera CameraTestApp, LGGallery and the framework-res from the old rom. I tried sideloading the apps with no luck, they wont even show up in my app drawer. I assume I need to install the LG framework alongside CM framework, but that's beyond me.

And it doesnt work at all on CM.
The newest CM update added HDR and it seems to work exactly as with LG camera app. But we still need 13MP. CM's app is 8MP currently.

Hi, is it not possible to download the lg package from one of the g2 standard roms some of them have packages with all the original g2 apps in or am i mistaken about what you want ?
Is this what you were looking for?
Edit: It's a WIP, but hopefully it will work well soon.

If it works...possibly. The LGCameraAppTest2 is the lg cam, but it FC's, the CameraTest5 doesnt look like its form the g2.

Although this camera is awesome. We can't use the volume to take pics. Fc every time. Also burst mode Fc and shutter sound still goes off even though you enable it.
I love the ui of lenovo very aesthetic.
Just with burst mode worked with the volume button.

Amalence makes the software the G2 uses for image processing, and they also have their own Camera software. It's virtually identical to LG's stock camera app, it just has a different skin.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.almalence.opencam
If you compare the stock to this, you'll see what I mean. It's the same camera as stock but with a different (IMO, better) skin.

Do you have a source for saying amalence is the company making LG's camera software? The program is similar yes, but not as good in my opinion. The HDR images are slower to snap and don't look as good to me. There is no "VR Panorama" or whatever LG called their photosphere mode

Note that the A_Better_Camera requires time to take 3 separate images, a good 1-1.5 seconds. The results are good tho.
I highly prefer the CM camera's HDR to A better camera, and I can't honestly tell the difference from the lg camera. The only thing missing is photosphere. I can use Focal for that, oddly enough that's the only feature that works in focal for me.

Hello friends,
It would be possible create a port the camera G3, used on roms based on G3, to be used on roms based on G2?
How the Pro 2 and Flex roms?
I'm searching the forum but just found the mods xdabbeb's but some do not work in Flex rom.
Thank you for your attention and help.

In running cloudy g3 1.1 and I don't think the camera is anywhere as good as the g2 camera. Just my 2 cents.

this has been asked before and it has been mentioned that because of some of the dependency files the g3 camera uses it cannot be fully ported, but I know that there is a dev who is working on it, it may not be as good as the g pro 2 port but the ui does look better and I do like the motion picture affect
I agree. I dont like the G3 camera! I think LG made a ****ty work with it. Or might be better with the laser focus but still I hate that I cant adjust my settings

I will have to disagree. Yes there not as many options as g2 camera but as for focusing and photo quality i find that g3 camera much better. I take very few blurry shots than what i used to on stock.

My phone is the opposite. I guess it's like roms. All devices are different.
Hello everyone!
I've been searching the internet for opinions, watched lots of videos about lg g2 but I'd still like to ask y'all guys about this phone because I may root lg g2 if I buy it and flash cm11 because I'm a big fan of that rom.
What I wanted to ask is; Is this phone really so great? It seems really fast, has good camera, great batery life etc.
Second, is it worth flashing cm11 over stock kitkat rom? Are there any big differences in performance etc?
Third, is there any better "all-around" phone than this one? I mean, I'd buy this phone for about 230€ in eBay and I'd like to know is there anything better than lg g2 for that price?
Next, are there any knows problems with g2? For example, heating too fast, freezes, buttons not working or something similar?
And the last question; Is it possible to make qslide feature compatible with all apps? I mean, I'd be using Chrome and Whatsapp mostly, and maybe Youtube sometimes but I've read not all apps are compatible with qslide.
Big thanks
Cyanogenmod is not good on the g2 all cyanogenmods fault but we do have a few aosp Roms and there good I'm running a ROM called Mahdi ROM it runs great very little bugs

1) It is a great phone (fast, good camera, very good battery life, excellent screen etc).
2) The stock KitKat ROM has advantages over CM11 such as QSlide. Honestly, I think it would be better to flash the Cloudy G3 ROM which is a port of the LG G3 ROM over to the G2.
3) For this price, there is nothing better. You could go on websites such as buysku.com and get a chinese phone but I would not recommend it. Also, you still would not find a phone better than the G2 on there. This is better than the Samsung Galaxy S4. You found it for 230 euros. That seems way too cheap unless it is second hand. Remember, you will want to right variant for your country. If you are in the UK for example (and other countries), you will want the D802.
4) There are not any major problems I have come across. The only negatives would be that the speakers are not very loud. It does heat up but only after a long time of heavy use and that is the same with lots of phone such as the Nexus 5.
5) No you cannot use QSlide with other apps. However, if you flash the G3 ROM (it is a fairly simple process), you can have Split view which allows you to have 2 apps open side by side. These apps can by any apps of your choice e.g. Whatsapp, Youtube, Games.

Exactly what I wanted! Big thanks mate!
I was few hours ago in one of the phone shops and spent some time with G3 and wanted to ask about the split view and you answered my question already hehe. Thanks
I live in Germany. Should I get D802 version?
And abour the G3 rom, is it as smooth as stock rom?
Also, to flash it I have to root with ioroots and flash custom recovery? Could you please give me a link with guide for both?
And, is there a big chance of bricking the lg g2 when I do that?
Thanks!

Yes you will need the D802 (probably 32GB too).
The G3 ROM is smooth with no lag or bugs. It is the stock rom from the G3 so still has the LG features.
You need to root it with ioroot then flash twrp recovery. Then flash the Cloudy G3 1.2 ROM or the Optimus G3 ROM. You also need to flash the kitkat baseband zip. I use the optimus g3 rom by the way.
The chance of bricking is very small. Make a nandroid backup in the custom recovery so if you do brick it, you can go back.

GPS and cell reception are it's biggest weaknesses. Stay away if you value both.
Amazing phone but with two big flaws.
AOSP
If AOSP the biggest concern get the Nexus 5. G2 better slap cloudyG3 on it.
the G2 is a great phone im running the cloudy g3 rom and its pretty nice

The GPS issues were a batch issue. The g2 I'm running now locks instantly and is usually accurate to 10 ft using GPS test apps. If u can get your hands on before you buy it check it and see. Also the g3 Rom is great
I am planning to buy one. The things which matter me most is loudness of in call volume.
I want to know if tje call on the other side sounds loud or not. I heard external speaker phone is weak so thought of checking in call speaker also

The in call speaker is very loud (if you put it on full volume) so it is not a problem.
G2 is great, but not mine.
Be sure you buy the newer version of G2, I bought mine which I think is the 1st batch that have Yellow Spots when it gets warm and grows bigger as the time pass by.

I recently got a Note 3 (N9005) and installed Cyanogenmod on it. Unfortunetly both the Cyan camera and google camera dont support slomo (120fps) or 4k UHD recording. So what I need is either the original camera app for the note 3 to install, or a substitute that will unlock these two features. (Or another fix)
Thanks! Also I'm not sure what other goodies I'm missing out on by not using stock, is there anything important?

I believe Samsung's stock N3 camera is based on the TouchWiz framework, and running AOSP means it is impossible to install it.
You could try Lenovo Super Camera....I forgot if they have the feature but it's just an apk to install for you to try out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706350

Fair enough. Tried it out, doesn't seem to, but has a great gallery! It crashes occasionally for me though, so Ill just stick to stock for now, while I look for something else/try to figure out why it's crashing. Thanks
Unless I'm missing it, or the flash of my ROM didn't work right, the google camera on my device from the pure nexus edition I flashed (http://forum.xda-developers.com/gala...on-s4-t2837239 doesn't seem to have Slow Motion video capturing which I really would like to have .
Is there a way I could just get the old S4 camera to somehow work with the device? (I was googling for one but couldn't find one.) or I take it that was designed custom by samsung for their software? If not the default one that I had from stock, is there another one some of you recommend?

I don't think you can get it working on the google roms since it was made for the Touchwiz system. If you want to just tinker and try, you can try the S5 camera or the Note 3 camera but as far as I know they won't work.
Ah ok, Thanks Deadly for replying. That's a real shame, I don't like all the bloat that came with my AT&T S4, but the touchwiz camera does seem much better. I'll go look at one of the modified touchwiz ROMs available and try one of them.
