LG Camera for AOSP question

I love AOSP, concept. But the lost of the LG stock camera, is keeping me "attached" to stock firmware. Is anyone working in porting the stock G3 camera to AOSP. If not, I think that we need a good developer as a volunteer for this work. I'm pret tu sure that the estire G3 community would really thankful in that case.
It might a good I idea to have a idea of the people interested in supporting this project.
If you find to have the Stock camera in AOSP is worthy, please vote +1. May be if you are enough, one of our talented developers, get interested in this project.
Thanks in advance.
:fingers-crossed:

Not possible to do that.

i don't think it's impossible.. someone ported this for g2 (although not working on ART)

Did anyone try the g2 camera app on the g3?

Stock-quality camera and Knock Code is keeping me attached to stock ROMs and there's barely any on the D852 Xposed module for Knock just don't cut it yet...

guys i installed g2 camera on a lollipop aosp rom.. it's working.. taking picture.. but dpi isn't fixed.. it's not full screen and icons haven't right size

It should work everything with the stock lg cam wich use not the lg framework.
But thats are only 3 things. 4kuhd recording and [email protected] and audiozoom.
I know that because i implemented it to freedcam.

I have done a first comparison series.
So far, at least, at broad-day light, I cannot see any significant difference in quality among Stock AOSP, Google, Lenovo and Stock G2 camera.
What do you think?

If you test with low light and try HDR you will see that it does not work.
The only HDR implementation currently working is with stock roms...

low light with non stock camera app is *&#**@ !!!!!
that g2 camera is taking picture well .. i hope someone fix dpi setting .. at least it'll be full screen

I'm on Cyanogen Rom and happy with the AOSP camera. I'm not an avid camera user and don't use stuff like 4k.

Best AOSP (CM12) camera's currently out there

Hi Guys,
Thought you should know;
I've tried a couple of camera's in the last few days and i've come up with a top 5;
1. HTC M9 Camera (Full HD ois video, Laser focus, a lot of extra's, very fast, 13mp -> good quality in low light)
2. Lenovo Camera (Lot's of options too, somehow i didn't like the blurry preview, and the overall orange-ish results)
3. Motorola Camera (More options then CM camera, while maintaining the same (good) quality. Big downside for me was the "zoomed in" pictures, and a little less low light performance)
4. Camera FV-5 (Don't need explanation, lots of options, AOSP camera quality)
5. CM Camera (If you're satisfied with AOSP camera quality and don't need all the extra's, the built in CM camera is your guy)
I'm not putting in any links.
Just Google for the camera's above. And let me know your findings.

Does the HTC M9 Camera gives good results? (Compared stock lollipop performance).
The camera is actually the only thing keeping me away from AOSP (along with no smart cover UI).

It does!!! I was about to post various pictures for comparison, but then i wiped my device and lost them all.
Camera was indeed the only thing for me to keep stock fw, but now i'm very happy with my CM12 - HTC M9 combination.
Just like me, you can backup your current rom and try my combination.
If it doesn't suits you, you can always fall back to your backup

true Another reason to make me use CM12 I'll try that combi!

I can confirm. HTC M9 port from Jishnu Sur (search him on g+ because none of his works is allowed here in xda...) it's the best camera for aosp roms. I tried all the cameras listed above but I ended up to use g2 camera port because of the quality of the pictures, but some day ago Jushnu Sur released his port of the M9 camera and I think it's absolutely the best.

I can vouch for HTC M9 port mod. It. is. Nails! The closest thing you will get to the G3 stock camera, but with more options. Previously the reason I hadn't switched to a AOSP rom was due to camera quality.

Ok, looks like you guys have not tried ALL cameras.
The only camera with stock like quality in low light is the LG G2 port. This HTC M9 one is not anywhere near that.
You should try it and see with your own eyes

I tested the same picture, with the same light and it had the exact same quality. I took a pic with stock, flashed to CM12 and took a pic with this ported camera just minutes after.
There was no difference, whatsoever. How did you performed your test to notice any differences?

That indeed is a very reasonable result!
Tried the app again. Unfortunately (still) the screwed up UI. Using a 13mp resolution is almost impossible. Will try to find an acceptable rom/app dpi combination.
Now, when using 532dpi (stock RR), only 10mp is doable (tried stock and 560dpi app versions so far). The 13mp preview is very much warped. Too much so, alas.

G2 port is best
i try lenovo v6 and htc M9 cam from jinur
i think g2 is best quality

Hey guys, I've got a quick question according the camera on AOSP ROMs. Is there any way of recording a 4K or slow motion video on an AOSP ROM? I did try a few cameras before when I had cm12, but I did not find those features in any of the camera apps I've tested.
So if this is possible, then what camera app would I have to use?

New camera performance, quality and flash brightness

Hi there,
So according to Sony the new camera is suppose to be something out of this world. but due to the horrible performance. I had my iphone 4's photos side by side with my z3c and I couldn't tell the difference for most.Therefore, I am very skeptical about what the new camera actually offers.
Another major issue for me was the flash on the phone. Since my first phone with a flash I found it very useful to have as a flash light. the Z3c however was a major disappointment in that area as my old iphone 4 outperforms it by far.
So what I'd like to see is a few photos from the z5c (night time aswell with flash).
Also, I'd like to hear your opinions regarding the new camera/flash and how well they performs

Dude, did you even search on google? Lots of samples pictures there. And yes its much better because the z3c camera is pretty ****.

But if you llke at them samsung note 5 pictures it will crap on the new Z5 phone.... just look at the samples http://www.eprice.com.tw/mobile/talk/4523/4953454/1/rv/sony-xperia-z5-compact-review/

Look at these camera samples:
http://www.xataka.com/analisis/sony-xperia-z5-compact-analisis
in my opinion it looks so good. I think eprice had a pre-production model or something like this.

The images are so noisy, I wish someone did a one inch sensor, my 808 still takes way better pictures than all of these.

Someone on reddit (hehihohu) posted this album and this video.
I think it's not better than the S6 but it's definetively a top 5 camera in my opinion.

If I compare a zoomed photo between the Z5 and the LG G4 or Samsung S6, I can see a poor quality coming from the Z5.
For instance, I'm talking about the 2nd sample from this link. Go to the chart called "Xperia Z5 vs Z3 vs 6 Plus vs S6 vs G4 indoor camera samples", then find the 2nd group of pictures. Double click on the candle with the label that says "REWINED" (in order to zoom the photo) and compare the quality between the Z5 and the G4/S6.

However, what If we use another camera, like "Google Camera"? I would love to see how the Z5 family work with that camera and know if the quality improves or dimish.

It looks very good, but there is blurring on the top left of every photo (top right in portrait) probably because of misaligned lens. Sony needs to fix their QC problems.
Everything else looks fantastic.

The "Stock Camera" seems to be a bit better than the "Google camera".
However both cameras are nice for me.
There is one thing with the Google camera that i don't understand. The "Size".
If you compare the first sample, there is a big difference in the size (969KB vs 2,67MB).
P.S.: Did you try "HDR" (if available) in the Google Camera?

Sent from my G8141 using XDA-Developers Legacy app

It's only 8.3 MP if you use 3rd party software. Reason is Sonys pathetic, no self-esteem move to LIMIT the API-2 interface to 8.3 in case 3rd party apps are being used.
Just so you understand this: You paid for a phone and Sony LITERALLY FREAKING TELLS YOU what software to use with it. They actually block it. And the best part of it, they don't even get their own freakin software straight.
I was so looking forward to this phone, seriously. Now I'm going to sell it, hope some dude pays ~650 $ and get me an S8 or HTC. Never ever ever again Sony. This is so so so ridiculous.

Return it and stop complaining.

Nothing to enjoy here. Camera MX does not offer Camera API-2 support and hence can't make use of manual exposure or ISO settings. It's not about using "some" 3rd party app but making use of the cameras potential.

Turn it on and see for yourself if you don't believe me.
Only 8 MP when using API2 and 1/10sec exposure time. Sony blocks it.

try this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riseupgames.proshot2

Open camera and camera zoom allow 19.2 selection.
Also in FV5 force the legacy driver and 19.2 is available.

Only if you have flashed AOSP (well maybe it works on stock but then there is no difference in image quality). The images are much sharper, have more detail and in low light they are a bit brighter. HOWEVER, you lose the noise reduction so there is a lot of noise in the images. You can correct this with an app like lightroom, but thats a lot of work if you just want to take a quick photo of something.
I've made some test photo's with AOSP and google camera a while ago. It was a lot darker when I took the bicycle photo's than the images suggest, but zoom in and you see the amount of detail (and noise) it has.

And this?

Is the noise reduction working with Google camera?

Camera2 API support?

Does this phone have it?
If yes, is the support enabled by default? Or do we need to root and enable it later by editing the build.prop?
Can someone with this phone post a screenshot of this app? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.weis.camera2probe

Hi awaaas,
Looking for this phone too? I have created the lounge at kaskus, you might want to check it out. Reminds me of old days.
Unfortunately, no C2A support yet, at least not in the demo unit.

Long time no see, bud... :highfive:
One of my relatives wants this phone, just want to make sure some of the phone's capabilities that reviewers often left out. For comparison, Redmi Note 5 Pro, the one that compared to this phone a lot, has Camera2 API support, but only if you edit the build.prop first (according to my friend that have it, I don't actually have that phone).
For me myself, I might will be still using my Mi 5s for foreseable future...

:highfive: Yeah, probably several years.
If me, it is me myself who are looking for this phone. RN5P still disabled the C2A, need (temporary) root to enable it. Same with this phone, if no C2A support out of box, at least we can enable it using the same method. But there is a rumour about major OTA update at 30 April. We expect to see a lot of improvement compared to the somewhat "beta" ROM from the media review unit. Let's hope to see the C2A has been enabled in this major update.

Haven't seen it anywhere yet. Only the 4K DCI/UHD and the 1080p has EIS already in the retail unit. The camera app seems will be updated tomorrow to support it. Hopefully, we can see the C2A support too in the next update.

Gcam will not work without camera api2 ! Let's wait and see...

Hope they will update to add support soon. Don't let the stock camera app be the limiting factor of image quality!

I hope someone comes with a GCam port for this phone. As far as what I tested, the phone's rear cam is quite good (except for very low light scenarios).
Also, the front cam desperately needs better balance in colors, dynamic range. Currently, selfie quality is quite decent, the colors are not accurate/natural even under good light (skin has a red tinge). And overall, brightness, noise level etc., could be tweaked a bit too.
Any suggestions for a different app that can bring out better photos out of the front cam??

Thanks!
Is this the default settings? or do you need to edit the build.prop?

Hey Aniket, thanks for the SS, can you install this Camera2 API Probe https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.airbeat.device.inspector app, actually, in this app its gives the individual camera parameters for both front & back camera & earlier the app link that I gave, that shows the overall result so basically it was my bad so I'm requesting you to install this app instead now this time & ost the SS once again as I want to know all the parameters for both of the cam of this hone individually.
& is it possible to install Gcam in this hone without rooting or is there any tools available like this MI A1's AIO Toolhttps://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/tool-xiaomi-mi-a1-tool-drivers-unlock-t3742857 so that it can be rooted & unlocked automatically & that can be used by all the novice users, & whether all future OTA updates will be available if bootloader is unlocked & rooted & warranty will be voided or not
