Hi everybody,
I'm using Cloudy G3 on my G2 for quite a while now and just loving this wonderful Rom for all my uses.
There's just one thing that i'd still love to improve on my phone (and that is relied to the phone, not the ROM), and it is the poor quality of audio recording.
Effectively I Often go to concerts, clubs or festivals and the audio from videos shot with the G2 are just awful.
Thus, I did some researches and have found this Mod : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706943 [Jishnu's Camera]
which is told to improve video recording.
Since i'm not sure, is there a way to install this over Cloudy G3 Rom ?
Thanks for your help guys :fingers-crossed:
I dont know if it does support g3 ports like cloudyg3, but you can install xdabbeb's camera mod in android development section, which works well. However don't expect miracles
But I think that xdabbebs mod is already installed in cloudyg3..check cloudys thread
And welcome to the forum!

Yes, xdabbeb's 4.1.0 camera is already included in CloudyG3. It works great but lacks in audio recording !
Thank you anyway Norside

ignore my original statement hidden below I confused the thread for the jishnu g3 camera mod that mod will not work for the g3 ported roms I can confirm
the initial versions of the mod when it released actually did work on cloudyg3 because I remember I did some testing in the beginning but I am not sure if it still does; you can always do a nandroid backup and flash it and if it doesn't work then just restore nandroid
I thought both camera mods had similar features?
I actually posted the wrong link on my first post. :silly:

That one also won't work this one will not work because the g3 ported roms are using the camera files from xdabbeb camera mod this means that the outdated files in jishnu camera mod will cause a crash on boot in the framework/libs and phone might bootloop or cause camera force closes if it boots

Hello all,
I've recently bought a LG G2 (D802). I've seen that there are a few ROMs which have been adapted from the G3 model to the G2: Cloudy G3, Optimus G3 and Lam Hoang G3. I have had a look to this last one and there are still some issues with the ROM.
I wonder whether it's really worth it to install one of these ROMs or it would be enough just installing G2 Exposed and changing the theme to look like the G3 one?
Obviously there are some other differences like some new applications. However since they are both based on Android 4.4.2 I don't see how much difference there could be if I use Xposed.
Here are some of the pros and cons I can see:
G3 ROMs over stock:
Camera
Keyboard
UI (G2 can be adapted to look almost the same as G3 (Tweaks box + G3 theme) though)
Less bloatware as custom ROMs get rid of them in most cases
Smart notice (is it good?)
G2 stock over G3 ROMs:
Most stable software
Less risk of virus in your phone (if you install a custom ROM you don't really know if the person who built it put some spyware in it)
Official updates (I guess official G3 ROMs won't get official updates)
Are there any new applications/features apart from above which make worth it installing these ROMs? Maybe performance benefits?
*This is not a thread to discuss whether it's good or not making custom ROMs. In fact, I want to say thanks to all those developers who spend hours trying to bring something better to our phones.
Thanks,
Javier
I too am interested in hearing responses to this. I previously came from a galaxy s3 (d2spr) and I thought many roms were worth installing on that device as many actually improved either functionality, battery life, or performance. But with my g2, I'm really content with the stock kk. I've heard the camera on the g3 roms is pretty awesome, but I've also heard of issues with hdr not working. Can't wait to hear responses.
I'm on stock, rooted rom, g2 tweaksbox, g3 theme and the camera tweak which adds some features.
It's a great way to go, everything works like a charm.

You won't find a single rom that doesn't have someone complaining of issues. So far though CloudyG3 1.2 has been exceptionally stable and pretty much fully functional. Even stock has its quirks in terms of issues.
I use Cloudy G3 1.2, and after a few tweaks, it runs pretty damn smooth. I like it over stock!
Using OptimusG3 and everything is smooth as butter!
I like to add one more candidate for a G3 rom: lamhoang G3 FINAL
https://translate.googleusercontent....4358/&usg=ALkJrhiaba6cK0mY2Vsbrcc3aGQFUPvzdg
The 1st fully deodexed art compatible rom, its very snappy and i find it the best of the G3 ports so far.
I think lamhoang rom eats battery very much

No, i getting excellent battery life on the Lamhong roms.
8+ hours screen on my 802 and 6+ hours on the 320k
OptimusG3 V1.2
Hi,
I'm running OptimusG3 v1.2. In the beginning tried CloudyG3.
I started experimenting with G3 ROMs since it's G3 has nicer interface than G2 ROMs. It has G3 camera and keyboard. It has also G2 FM Radio apk. CloudG3 has G3 FM radio apk that crashes.
Overall good ROM but battery live could be better when you use it, In stand by is OK.
I tried the G3 rom for a few days but ultimately went back to stock rooted. The flatter, minimal theme of the G3 looks great, but that was about it. I have the VS980 which isn't fully supported for the G3 rom (yet) so I had minor data/mms issues and poorer battery life. Plus, I think the camera on the G3 is a downgrade compared to the G2 - less features/options, and pictures seemed to look a little worse.
For now, I use Nova with a G3 theme, and G2 Xposed/Tweakbox to mimic some other aspects of the interface (notification toggles, status bar tint, etc)
I'm running CloudyG3 and i'm really enjoying it so far, the new 1.2 update added all the missing things so now im super happy

Depends. Roms can be built from modded stock roms. It could be argued that removing bloat will result in a more stable rom.
Less risk of virus in your phone (if you install a custom ROM you don't really know if the person who built put some spyware in it)
Well, we KNOW of carriers that add spyware to our phones. Also, many devs post their source, so there's that...
Official updates (I guess official G3 ROMs won't get official updates)
Does this even matter when you can just update the custom ROM? You want the latest carrier update that bad, you'd only have to wait a couple hours.
G2 can be adapted to look almost the same as G3 (Tweaks box + G3 theme)
This is more a lack of a con than a plus.
Are there any new applications/features apart from above which make worth it installing these ROMs? Maybe performance benefits?
Thanks,
Javier

For Camera, you can install xdabbeb's camera. I read a couple of days ago that there will be an update and that his camera will be available in apk.
For the Keyboard, you can install the LG G3 keyboard as an apk http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2793602

Does the camera launch directly from the volume down button when using the shortcut?
I mean does it turn the screen on too, so you can snap a picture?

i think lg did a good job with g3 stock but apart from the interface which looks more flat, you don't get too much over stock g2.
Hello everyone!
I am testing a lot of roms and I like few, such as Pardus, Cloudy G3 rom.
Still, I am not pretty convinced of what is the best rom in terms of photo quality. Some say stock, others say CloudyPRO, others CLOUDY FLEX.
I am using XDAEBB 5.0 MOD that is GREAT, still, I believe that with the Right ROM, I cant push my Camera to the EDGE.
Does anybody knows this perfect combination?
doesn't exist
change the phone

try all roms or change the phone. g2 is not first quality of photo's
Stock
Maybe stock ROM is best for camera IMO. Better than AOSP for sure. Try Cloudy G3 if you're tired of stock G2 ROM maybe :cyclops:
Hey there guys, I will be quite simple with this one
I love the design of this phone and also the battery + camera (those are my main reasons)
I'm getting my G2 on friday! and I normally go with custom roms (although with htc one m7 I stayed in stock because the camera quality loss (due to no libs) was huge)
does this happen also with LG G2?
Is there a considerable quality loss of taking pictures when you move to a custom rom?
What about the excellent battery? does it gets even better on custom rom?
Thanks for your answers!

There might be a little tiny bit, but with the 13mp, you have to zoom in quite a bit more to see noise or blurriness than with the M7. I use PA rom and i have no problem with cameraquality.
I'm new here too, there are 2 kinds of most used roms, stock roms and AOSP or CM roms I can tell you that if you want a good camera use stock custom roms, because AOSP rom's camera doesn't have all Lg features, but if you want better battery maybe the double of screen on time, use AOSP roms, for stock roms I recommend you the Cloudy ones for example, and for AOSP, Mahdi Rom is the one I use when I'm not on stock rom, try them out and decide by yourself,

thank for the replies, I will note it down to try them out in friday when my g2 arrives!
edit: I probably think I will go for Cloudy to start with for some time ^^ thanks for the recomendations
For those running CM12, what camera app are you using? The stock camera app is pretty awful. When I was using my LG G3 on CM12 I was using the modified Lenovo camera and it was pretty good but I haven't had any success getting it to run on the Z1C.
I'm using this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/themes-apps/app-cameranext-modded-t2999275
But not the most recent version. For me v6 was the best a mirror can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...ext-modded-t2999275/post58586958#post58586958
Although the slowshutter doesn't work for our device, I think its better than the stock camera app!
Cool, I'll give that one a shot. Thanks!
So, how is camera performance of your setup compared to Z1c with stock firmware and stock based sony camera app? The only thing that stops me from installing CM12 is the said bad camera performance.

It is pretty bad from what I remember. I switched to an LG G3 for a while so I don't quite remember what the stock camera was capable of on this phone but in CM12 it is really not that great. I am using the Lenovo Camera that I was using on my G3 and it is better than the stock CM camera by far.
If you take a lot of photos and are anal about them looking great, I'd hold off on flashing CM.
All that being said, I prefer CM12 over stock on this phone, by far.

So, do you believe that if I use a different camera app that the stock on CM12, I will have better results? I have a dedicated camera for serious photo taking, but I'd want to have my Z1c ready for some good snapshots, if necessary.
Installing CM is a big step and I hesitate to do that, but I guess I'll have to find out by myself...

Yes, I would use the Lenovo cam if you want to go to CM12, for sure. Sorry for the delay, I haven't been on here in weeks.
