The camera sucks. I know it has a Exmor RS sensor (a pretty neat hardware indeed). G2 performs well in outdoor shots. But indoors this phone sucks. Everything is perfect on the g2 but the camera is a really big problem. Does LG know about this issue? Always blurry even though there is light in the room. my old xperia s perform much better(camera) than g2. I hope that lg would release a fix soon or anyone here in xda can release a mod that can treat this issue. Issues like this should be fixed asap.
Hope someone here replies. BTW BTW I got this phone for a week now.

this is your response.
you just have to select the intelligent photo mode (intelligente aufnahme in deutsch).
the pictures will be a bit darker, but the sharpness increases a lot.

Man can you teach me how to install mods ? And how to go back to stock? And if there's an update and I have a Camera MOD will something weird happen? Danke Mann!

At least you need to habe a custom recovery installed. There are guides for this in the forum. Then you can make a nandroid backup of your whole system. After that you can simply flash xdabebbs camera mod from recovery. If you want to go back to stock camera simply flash your nandroid backup. If you even want to remove the custom recovery there is a guide for this too. It seems you are new to this so i suggest you do some reading. We can always hell but ultimatly you are responsible for your actions and it is always good to know what you are doing.

I'm always in this forum and all I can do is flash firmware and root lol.
And I never tried installing a recovery.
BTW do you experience this issue too? Is it a faulty hardware or a software related issue ?

So you use LG software to flash?
if you know how to root, installing a custom recovery is no problem.

explain what you mean with blurry!
If you looked at the 20 or so other threads on the same issue, you would see that a lot of people have the same complaints. BUT, it doesn't appear to be everyone. My phone takes amazing pictures both inside and out, and no matter the lighting. And you will see a lot of pictures in the other threads posted that are both great and crap. So it's either a lot of people don't know how to take a picture with a camera phone, or there are issues with the hardware in some cases.

No , our Captivate don't have front cam , but in stock continuum 3.1.1 use the camera.apk version have front camera option , when u touch this icon , it 'll change your cam resolution ....... u must reset all camera setting to fix it .
In this rom , i mod another camera.apk version , don't have front camera icon

This sort of issue can be dealt with in private messages. Ultimately it is an issue between tmhung and Cezar and really none of our business. The best construction we should put on this is that tmhung made his mods after consulting with Cezar; especially if you are "not tryin to start nothin."
Transparent app drawer is looking nice. This thread is actually making TouchWiz Launcher seem somewhat slick
I really like the themed version of continuum but was a bit reluctant to try it out because some people had battery issues. Since you claim with the mod it has good battery, is there any way to put the mod on the themed version?

With my experience with Continuum, it has had the best battery life of the roms I have tried. Cognition 3.04, 4.1, CM7, Fire Fly, and Paragon. While I didn't do any timed tests, I did run each rom for multiple days, and mentally noted how things went.
I have stuck with Continuum for the two weeks(A long time for me), and just been changing kernels/radios to keep satisfied! Been great on battery life, I highly suggest flashing 3.1.1, or waiting until the update to get JS7...

It seems battery life is a hit or miss in all the roms. It seems icezar is coming up with JS7 from what I read in the thread. Hopefully that will solve the battery issues the "other users" were having. I'm waiting on that too.
Your work and your sharing is appreciated, but why release this as a ROM? Why not just release a CM zip with just the files you've added or changed? Or, provide files and instructions on how to fix the issues you've fixed? That would be easier and more convenient for all involved I would think. Imagine if we all released ROMs of every little tweak we ever made of every ROM we installed to help the community; everyone would have good intentions, but it would be a mess.
Keep up the good work man

Hi
I am using stock rom (Andro 2.2.1 - Kernel 2.6.32.9-perf)
I updated my rom to Miui 1.10.21 last night and I didn't like it much so I came back to my orginal.
My stock rom is very stable and problem free but :
Miui rom has better camera which one have touch focus like iphone 4.
Is it because different software , better kernel or both ?
I want that camera at my stock rom. What can I do ?
Also I want to update my orginal rom's kernel to better one without update rom.
Can anyone to recommend me a good kernel. ?
Im in same situation as you. Same rom / Same kernel. Really would like to see that camera on this factory stock. I will go for other custom roms later. But for now, As Im begginer, just want to test this rom first.
And maybe you should try CM7 or Oxygen.. Maybe there is your solution for camera with quality rom.
try this:
replace your original camera app with the miuicamera.apk in 7system/app.

I moved apk file to the system/app and renamed "Camera.apk". (Backed up orginal)
I didn't see it in menu then I did reboot still there is no camera.
and I opened root explorer again pressed on camera.apk it said : Ayrıştırma Hatası (Extraction Error)

Same thing here.. I even looked up online and downloaded a few miui camera apk but all say extraction error... only problem i can see is.. maybe it's for 2.3 but stock rom is 2.2
still have no solution?
up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi,
Firstly, what do your "up!!!!" posts mean? Most of us like the xda-developers community because of the sober discussions here. From here on, please have a little patience. We are here to help you.
As I understand, you want the touch to focus functionality. A free app called "Camera 360" has this feature. Get it from the market, use it on your stock ROM and have fun!
Also, MIUI is much much better than the stock ROM. If youre having issues with it, feel free to discuss them in the MIUI thread in the "Android Development" section.

well I wanted to keep post up because no one answered straightly :\
and thanks for your answer also :
I tried lgcamera , camera360 , camera zoom fx , camera advance and sleek camera.
Took same shots with each one and compared.
Camera zoom fx and camera 360 is nice but touch to zoom is not full functional at camera 360 , usually wrong focus problem.
Also lgcamera is good at video recording.
But main question is can I install new kernel without change stock rom ?
I have no problems with stock rom
Hi,
The post does not need to be kept alive. Truth is, if people are interested in the post, it will stay alive on its own. If you keep putting dummy posts, it isn't going to help in any way and might indeed be counterproductive. Infact, I thought several times before replying to this post. Most OPs who are like this are difficult to have any kind of constructive discussion with.
So, camera360 focuses in the wrong place? I find that hard to believe. In any case, I fail to see what the kernel will do to fix that. I would like it if you clarified a little. You have me totally confused here. Do you want a new kernel? If so, why? Do you want a camera with touch to focus? Do you want both?

My camera 360 Settings :
(P) Normal Mode --> Normal
Shot Mode [Auto Focus]
Focus Mode [Press scren to focus; Click shot button to shoot]
I put 3 objects to top of my desk , one is close , one is far and other one is between them.
Because of my angle I have background too (Like a earphones and ex. HDD)
When I press and focus closest one that object dosent look focused , Also after I take a shoot middle one is sharp and closest one is blurred.
When I press middle one my background is sharp that three object is blur.
When I press the far one middle one is sharp other scenes are blur.
Also I tried this with macro. Still cant focus where I press. And I didnt go so close it was focusable distance.

About kernel.
I heard some kernels are better than stock kernel.
I am happy with my rom I dont have any problem. But I am thinkin If I update my kernel or change my kernel only is there a any improvements at my phone.
Hi,
Ill try something similar with camera 360 (and the MIUI camera app) in a bit and post results. If it is indeed how you say it is, then the algorithm is flawed and there is little we can do about it.
About the kernel, it is possible to use other kernels as far as I can see. Make a backup of your boot.img and recovery.img and try out some other kernel. Franco's kernel should be fine. In case it does not work, we can always go back to the older ones. Truthfully speaking, you should actually use some of the gingerbread roms instead, they are much more battery efficient for one thing.

Hi everyone,
After few days of playing with the 4.4 firmware, I found out that the camera takes very long time to boot, and sometimes it says "Camera not available". But fear not, here's the solution for it, don't need to root your phone or switch back to 4.3 Jellybean.
1. Go to Settings > Apps > All.
2. Look for Camera, Camera common and Camera extension
3. Force stop and clear all the data.
That's it! You're good to go. I hope this helps a lot of people

Then I don't know how to fix already. It works on mine tho. Maybe it's because of firmware update instead of clean install? Maybe clean install don't have the bugs lol.
Still no camera for me neither... Tried PCC, also tried complete wipe including boot and internal sdcard. No luck...

My camera works, but the start up time is too long, also focusing is not as fast as it used to be. I updated via pcc but in reality such problems are unacceptable for sony, with things not working for some, and working for others after updates.
Funny thing is I had the camera bug and after clearing data and etc it was Ok but I start getting the sound bug right after that weird...now I went back to 4.3 til the next update

My problem is that the phone overheats too frequently after taking a couple of pics in the day. I never had this issue before the update. Pissed off. For the first time ever, I'm considering downgrading.

Ah, yet another pointless reply from eclyptos
I think i dont have the Bug becouse i wiped everything SD Card, Data, System and Cache/Dalvik Cache and i didnt restore a Backup i installed everything manually again on 4.4 so i guess thats why i dont have any bug at all. I saw someone writing about false Structure on SD Card and if you restore Backups, so this might be the tricky Part where Users get the bugs from.

True. This is how have to be done.
some issues, not so major ones though
white balance is messed up, getting a strange white light from nowhere on right side of image when in landscape.
Also, AR effect was hanging up when I clicked a photo before saving it. After the steps in this thread, that one issue is gone, but the main camera is too messed up. 4.2 was better.
till now I was against putting custom roms in my z1, but now, if a rom includes the z2 camera app in a stable config, then I am going for it.
I used the repair option, so far the camera opens normally now and no lag yet. I really don't want to reset my phone each time a new firmware comes out.
Hi all
Just got my new G2, and love it. However, Im wanting to use a better camera.
Theres a lot of camera mods around the web.. Im not bothered about 4k video, as im more of a photographer, so im looking for a mod which focuses more on taking pictures and a good manual mode.
Which one would you recommend?
They all seem to require root access and Ive never rooted before, also Im on 20d rom, if I root, can i update the G2.. and is it safe to go back so i can get OTA updates.
Many Thanks
No it is not safe to update with root but you can always flash back and it will be like nothing was ever touched on it

Thanks for that.. so i downloaded the LG Flash tool and the D20 UK.kdz,in case I decide to rollback. After reading around Ive found 2 of the best camera mods out there are
Xdabbeb's Camera Mod and Jishnu's Camera Mod
So can anyone guide me as the one that would be better used for photography, such as ISO, apature maybe even a shutter speed.. rather than 4k video, and if they are the same.. which oneis easier to install for a newbie to rooting.
Thanks
hello,
I have problem with my g2. on aosp extended rom I noticed that taking photos with flash on snapchat not working. flash lighting up , autofocus and no picture take, flash still ON, I can click photo button and nothing happens. I installed stock LP 5.0.2 v30d and its same, on kitkat too. Taking photos with normal camera app is working well. can someone explain me that problem? g2 is perfect phone for me, I love it but this is annoying.
sorry for my bad english.
It's obviously a bug in the app, wait and see if future updates will fix it, leave feedback to the devs.
