Hi guys, brand new G2 D802 owner here Still stock & unrooted, but I've already noticed there are some camera mods. Still quality is pretty good, but the video... umm, I mean it's not bad, but the fps drops are just so bad! No matter in what resolution or at what fps I record, at darker places the fps drops pretty badly. Kind of helped switching to 60fps, record a second, switch back to 30fps and there are no framedrops! Even though the scene is pretty dark, but the fps is constant. But on the other hand, sometimes you need to record darker places, even if there are fps drops, so it's kind of uncomfortable.
Second problem - the video audio is pretty quiet. The quality is really nice (in comparison with the G Pad's horrible audio recording quality), but it seems pretty quiet. With stock Camera app and the XCam too.

You can try to root your phone, use XCam with Advance Driver.

Well, I'm fully stock, just rooted.

I've tryed the advanced XCam on my stock rooted rom and haven't noticed anything (even though this advanced one isn't working well because UHD videos have terribly low bitrate and definitely aren't UHD). The stills are good quality, but the video is just meh... I really hate that fps drop while the camera switches to high exposure.
Or maybe if you could recommend me the best camera apps / mods for best video and stills... I've heard Jishnu's Camera V3.5 is great, but I can't find a single download link and it's thread is closed a long time.

Hi everyone! I've had my streak for about two weeks now. Everything is great except video recording. I've only tried it in 720p...but honestly, why would you go lower if you didn't have to? I digress... The video quality is really bad. The color is off and there is a lot of ghosting. I'm coming from a captivate where video recording was one of it's strong spots (the strong spot?).
Are the any tweaks or mods that can be performed to better the quality of video footage? Anyone?
I know the device isn't out just yet, but I was wondering if anyone has seen a sample of Nexus 4 camcorder yet? (Front & Back). I rely heavily on my cameras for work & for other reasons & not to bash the G-Nex, but the camera sensor on this device is a little underwhelming to say the least. I heard the camera hardware was based off of the AT&T 8mp Optimus G, but I'm not sure if that's an actual spitting image of what we can expect from the N4.
Any links or input would be greatly appreciated in advanced. Worst case scenario, 10 days isn't too far away!
Here you have some video samples:
Hope is what are you looking for :good:

Thanks sooo much for the quick reply with content. The actually image quality is quite an improvement, but my problem lies with the FPS & the audio to a certain extent. I wasn't expecting perfection, so I'm overall happy with what we have here. I'm sure it'll get better between camera mods & software updates. Thanks again.
The mic makes the video so crap, I tried to record video with my GS2 once upon a time and it was far worse than my old iPhone 4 which had such amazing audio quality. I mean I went to Reading last year and the iPhone 4 was super clear, picked up good bass and sounded great but the GS2 just sounded like I was rubbing a plastic bag over the mic and the bass just killed the mic all together.
So if the audio sucks then there is no point to it shooting video tbh. I just have a separate camera though so it doesn't bother me too much though.
I would love it if someone uploaded the original video file from the phone. Youtube seems to always use an aggressive compression on user uploads, I rarely see good 1080p videos on the site, even from pro cameras.
Make sure to go fullscreen when watching the video and turn your youtube video to 720p HD.
Can anyone help ....
I get HEAVY compression artifacts on the video recordings at 1080p on the nexus 4 itself - even when I upload to the PC. The sound and video is compressed sounding too.
I've searched XDA, I've searched Reddit, I've searched countless forums with ZERO success. I've tried Lenovo Super Cam, I've tried installing the LG Cam, I've tried flashing in the HTC cam. Nothing fixes the smeary, awful framerate and as a result I've taken exactly zero good photo or video on this phone in CM12. Is there any hope for CM or AOSP ROMs? I'll sell this phone before I end up putting an LG-Stock ROM on this thing.
I'm looking for stable framerate in photo preview and video preview, regardless of light on CM12. Does this holiest of G2nicorns actually exist?

CM12 is pretty old. I personally don't have that much issue with the camera anyway. It's a driver issue, which could explain the framerate, but the quality is pretty similar. Could you maybe take a couple of pictures and show us what the difference is?
Not sure how a photo would illustrate a low frame rate but this video shows the sneariness and frame drops. This isn't my video but the performance is similar or worse. It's the same for the photo viewfinder and that makes it impossible to take a photo or video in anything but glaring sunlight.

That's how it works though, the aperture remains open longer to capture more light, which causes less frames per second. Try recording the same thing on a stock rom and let us know how it goes. But then if it's a driver thing you can't do anything about it.

All I needed to know. That LG Stock ROM is a flaming trainwreck, and if there's no fix for AOSP or CM I literally am better off getting a new phone.

Well the video you linked IS a stock rom. There's no fix because it's not an issue, it's a camera characteristic. It's like saying a monitor doesn't display 120hz being a 60hz monitor. It doesn't, and if it did, it'd have some drawbacks. If you want steady framerate lower the iso.
It's still a phone camera, and a pretty good one at it. I'm not sure how people sometimes forget that. If you find a smartphone that matches a DSLR in the camera department and is around 200$ let me know.

The stock ROMs used to have the issue as shown in the video above, but they don't anymore. I don't know where but when I bought the phone and used 4.2 the camera was busted, and when I upgraded to 4.4 stock it was super smooth. And that's what I'm looking for, but only on AOSP or CM. No frame drops and a smooth, consistent 30fps or 60fps just like the stock ROM currently does. The stock ROM is an awful way to use this phone. I bought this phone when it was one of the cheap $180 unlocked devices posted on Phandroid with the strict intention of not using LG's C- effort. If it can't be done, it can't be done. No big deal.
There's a million threads from 2013 and 2014 that list "Oh use this, use that! Try Lenovo's camera! Flash so and so's fix even though the files are literally nowhere on the internet!" and literally nothing solves this issue in the slightest. I figured in 2015, maybe someone would know of a definite fix.
All 5.0 AOSP roms have a crap camera, including 4.4 AOSP.
Flash any 5.1 AOSP ROM for the G2 like BlissPop or Euphoria, it looks like Google got their **** together in 5.1. The camera IS better than CM12, but still not as good as LG rom.

Lol, this doesn't look like g2 at all. At least not compared to mine. The main reason I am not running aosp is the camera. Running aosp g2 turns into bad nexus 5 pretty much (imo). Not just the camera, there are tons of bugs there. If you want good camera - go with stock, as simple as that. LG camera drivers and ois makes videos very smooth. Grab a Rom with advanced camera drivers and install xcam. Fhd 60fps at night as good as in daylight. I will send you a video of mine if you want so you can see what I am talking about.
But yeah, aosp = ****ty camera, and there's nothing to do about it. Sorry
Your friends are never going to believe what you did. The only way to prove it to them is with that video you took. Rate this thread to express how videos shot on the LG V30 come out. A higher rating indicates that videos are smooth (and not choppy) and that auto-focus works very well, and that the camera adjusts quickly to different lighting conditions while recording.

I posted a video on my YouTube channel. Quality does seem pretty good so far!

Very nice. Overall, in good light at least, the camera is pretty top notch. Seemed to have some slight issues autofocusing on close up but may have not been the camera fault? Also, I really find the OIS very stable and the wide angle is even pretty stable too, HOWEVER, the only issue I have is that there is some intense wobble with the whole picture every few seconds when you are walking... that is quite frustrating, but overall I do love the stabilization.
Video Low Light Footage
Heres another video but in low light auto.
Initially I thought it looked good but upon reviewing the upload it sucked so bad.

Yeah, it wobbles like crazy, but I think it can be fixed with software updates. You can't image how horrible was OP5 camera in the beginning, but the fixed everything related to image stabilization in few months :good:

I had op5, but i sold it just before it ran out of stock so to get the max value. I liked that camera, although there were still issues with focus in lot of situations, however my favorite mode portrait mode on op5 seems easier and sometimes even better than on my current phone ip7+

I was also curious to know whether v30 has any option to take pictures in mode similar to portrait mode like on op5,ip7-8p and other dual camera phones that support such feature.

LG camera is much better. OP5 has no OIS, and all pictures look blurry when you zoom in even a little bit (watercolor look).
i was very disappointed with my OP5 camera. i am not disappointed with LG.
The only thing bad about the LG V30 camera is the front camera.. Its worse than op5
The portrait mode can be done with the pixel camera app but you have to move ur phone a bit for it.. Its a workaround and not a starightforward fix.

Unboxing, first impressions and camera use & EIS results
Hi people!
Here my five cents about tittle. Really impressed about EIS results, considering how the mobile was moving while walking.
Hope you like it!
thanks!
Too bad it doesn't have 1080p/60fps.

but i think it will soon, it's just a matter of software i think
Here , I tested 1080p 240fps , slow motion video ...
Pretty decent , slight autofocus problems, but if I held it still , and not with one hand, standing over my bike, i think it would be ok.

Good quality camera. But not happy about quality when zooming in.
Stereo recording
Hi, guys, anyone have inverted stereo on video? I tested it in recording when I tapped on the left mic first and then on the right mic. When I watched my video the first tap was from the right channel.
lmao come on guys theres no need for 5 stars this camera is mediocre maybe a 70% score, ois is necessary / non blurry eis to get any higher
+ even the poverty phones from xiaomi 200 usd$ have 1080p 60 fps, but its missing here idk why

4k 60 fps will be added soon. Stock camera is ****, agreed. Better use Gcam, which makes great results, and raw, particularly, looks perfect. Only downside for me is the lack of optical stabilization and second tele lens camera, but you get what you pay for.
Pixellated video on FB App
I moved on to POCO recently and found that while playing videos on FB app they look badly pixellated, especially the text parts. Youtube videos are fine. Replaced the phone, but still has the same issue. Any other person having this issue?

Anyway the video quality is good enough for me. The only annoying thing is that videos dont have the photos great, wide angle of sight. I guess it's normal?
