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)

I have same problem. Did everything you said and it seems its not compatible.
up!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.

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.

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.
Hey all
I need your help folks...
What i look for in a phone.. Great music sound, Great pictures and plenty of camera features, ease of use on interface, big clear screen, loudish ringtones, heavily customisable
I changed from my S4 to the G2, due to the sh*t bloatware, lag and camera issues on the S4LTE, so Ive had my unbranded UK D802 G2 (latest Dec2013 update) for all of about 3 weeks now and to be honest Im not impressed..
Mainly because of the camera, but other issues such as, my EE/Orange GSM signal just drops out for a few seconds from time to time, my Wifi signal wavers up and down occasionally, the knock on doesnt always work and the screen just switches straight back off again after knock on, the speaker is very tinney and low ringer volumes, plus 10GB is not alot (but thats my fault for not researching not LGs).
I know all of this sounds so negative, but im trying my best to love this phone, Ive looked around at all the camera mods and upgrades, mainly Jishnus, xdabeb and even LGs own camera fix, however all require root access and from what Im aware Rooting stops OTA updates.
Plus Sammy have just about fixed all issues on the S4 with 4.3
Is it worth staying with the G2 and wait for KitKat fixes, will their be any KitKat fixes, becasue I do love the user friendly interface features on the G2, I can put up with the 10GB,
Thanks

I would say wait for KitKat. By then, there will also be newer devices around. Going back to a device you didn't like isn't gonna do much good

Thanks for the quick reply , Is it true that KitKat is out in a few weeks (March) and has there been a changelog released yet?.
Thanks
@OP
I don't know if this is a dumb answer or your just asking a dumb question, but your in the G2 forum, so you should expect 7 out of 10 people would vote more on the G2 than that of the S4... (same idea if you throw out your post to the S4 forum as well, you would most likely know what your going to get a reply with).

I asked this in a bid for someone to advice me of the great things about the G2, but it doesnt matter.. I was playing with the camera last night.. I was even looking at installing Jishnus Mod manually so I wouldnt lose OTA after rooting, but I just got so sick of the flakey photos that Ive gone back to WP8 Black on my Lumia 920. 27GB of usable storage, great loud stereo speakers and wireless charging OOTB and a fantastic 8.7 MP Carl Zeiss Lens camera (after Lumia Black update) and IMO, A superior OS in every respect.
Oh well ..
It seems clear that you just don't like the phone (the best phone available in the eyes of many) so enjoy your Nokia sir, whatever floats your boat.

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.

Hi everyone,
I just purchased a lg g2 (hasnt arrived yet), but I read about the terrible camera afterwards and am wondering if I should return it. I currently have a htc sensation, i think that camera is ok, it at least has a quick shutter speed. I also used a sony z1 compact, although it takes great pictures, its slow as hell, it doesnt take a picture until 2-3 seconds after pressing the shutter.
1. is the camera is deal breaker? I tend to take spur of the moment pics so I need quick shutter speed
2. does the camera mod help much?
3. did the newest 4.4.2 update do anything to improve the camera? I'm not sure if what I read was before or after the update
4. are there any other major issues that I should be aware of?
I'm a simple person, I like to customize a bit but stability is most important. appreciate any responses that will help me decide. thanks

1. No it's not, shutter is pretty good and you have an option for multiple shots so don't worry about it, it's not a deal breaker.
2. Camera mod? Don't know any but if you will replace the rom you will lose the stock camera which is as I said pretty good, amazing photos in full light and nice photos in dimmed area.
3. Not that I know of, as a 4.4.2 user of the d802 I haven't noticed any difference.
4. I think that the most major issues on android in General is the memory consumption.
Also the stock 4.4.2 doesn't support ART which is a major update for kitkat, you can really feel the difference.
And ofcourse the damn LAG issues on stock rom which drives me crazy when I surf the web or open a PDF file which BTW the CM or any moded rom doesn't have these problems...
I hope you enjoy your new G2 phone but I would consider buying the G3 if you can

Its not really worth it, G2 is a great buy atm, with all the people going nuts for that extra resolution that isnt really worth it the G2's price has dropped and its specs are still some of the best, plus the G3's stock rom has mostly the same features(IIRC), its mostly just aesthetics changes that the G3 has over G2.
Also, there are G3's stock rom ports, what more do you need?
