Hey folks. Wondering if someone can chime in on the possibility of this...
I want the Camera app from the factory LG rom to work on AOSP phones. only because its HDR ability was much better than any app I have tried to fill that void since I switched to CM. Also it's Manual focus was a nice feature among many other things.
I assume it'd need LG's Framework as well to make it work, but if anyone can try to piece this together, or get me the files Id need (I'm no longer on LG's rom) Id be very grateful!

Focal is going to perform roughly the same as stock CM camera. We need the stock LG camera from the G2 as it can better interface with the hardware, not to mention has device specific tuning for the hardware. No other camera will be able to compete with the stock G2 camera.
To the request, i spent some time trying to get it to work few days ago. Not much progress, others have posted that hey manged to get the camera app to completely start up and take pictures, i have not made this much progress. Wish they would have posted theirs.
There is already a discussion about this in the Att-dev section.

Focal doesnt work for me. I'm on newest CM nightly, and pressing the shutter button in focal causes a FC every time.
As an update, I took the apks and odexs from the LG rom for LGCamera CameraTestApp, LGGallery and the framework-res from the old rom. I tried sideloading the apps with no luck, they wont even show up in my app drawer. I assume I need to install the LG framework alongside CM framework, but that's beyond me.

And it doesnt work at all on CM.
The newest CM update added HDR and it seems to work exactly as with LG camera app. But we still need 13MP. CM's app is 8MP currently.

Hi, is it not possible to download the lg package from one of the g2 standard roms some of them have packages with all the original g2 apps in or am i mistaken about what you want ?
Is this what you were looking for?
Edit: It's a WIP, but hopefully it will work well soon.

If it works...possibly. The LGCameraAppTest2 is the lg cam, but it FC's, the CameraTest5 doesnt look like its form the g2.

Although this camera is awesome. We can't use the volume to take pics. Fc every time. Also burst mode Fc and shutter sound still goes off even though you enable it.
I love the ui of lenovo very aesthetic.
Just with burst mode worked with the volume button.

Amalence makes the software the G2 uses for image processing, and they also have their own Camera software. It's virtually identical to LG's stock camera app, it just has a different skin.

If you compare the stock to this, you'll see what I mean. It's the same camera as stock but with a different (IMO, better) skin.

Do you have a source for saying amalence is the company making LG's camera software? The program is similar yes, but not as good in my opinion. The HDR images are slower to snap and don't look as good to me. There is no "VR Panorama" or whatever LG called their photosphere mode

Note that the A_Better_Camera requires time to take 3 separate images, a good 1-1.5 seconds. The results are good tho.
I highly prefer the CM camera's HDR to A better camera, and I can't honestly tell the difference from the lg camera. The only thing missing is photosphere. I can use Focal for that, oddly enough that's the only feature that works in focal for me.

So I'm guessing its the device being slow but I wanted to see what everyone else had experienced and if there is a fix.
Basically I find the camera terrible. The only way to get a decent shot with less than perfect light is to use the stabilizer, which as many of you know slows down the pictures as it has to process the picture. This is VERY annoying to me. My iPhone 5s takes a much better shot and instantly without processing.
Has anyone found a fix for this be it prop settings or alternate camera apps?
I have to imagine there is a fix for this...
My last iPhone was the 5 (had the 4s before it). Apple sure has the whole "just works" thing down. That said, I REALLY like the Note 3 camera and the screen - I think it's better than the 5 - but in low light, the processing thing is INCREDIBLY ANNOYING. For a phone with this hardware, you'd think a 2 second "processing" bar would be a thing of the past.
Yea, so anyone find a fix? I want to take pics of my kid and don't have time to wait between pictures...

I am also interested - so "bump" --- I can't stand the "processing." I remember the 4.3 roms had a mention that prevented this. I wonder if the 4.4.2 roms will get it?

Hey guys I found a fix!
After poking around on my rom (Beans) I noticed they had the option for the CM 11 camera app so I grabbed it...
BOOM instantly better quality, speed, the works. :good:
So seems like the stock camera app was just terrible. CM got it right and now I'm really happy with the quality.
I compared both cameras and in almost ever case the note 3 was on par or even better than my 5s.
If you guys want some compare shots between both android cams and vs. iphone 5s let me know and i'll post some.
If you want the CM 11 camera I'm sure a little goggling will get you the APK. :laugh:
I'd also love to see what your experiences are and if you found the CM camera app to your liking.

I really miss a macro mode. I take a lot of close up detail photos for work. Now I use an eye loupe over the lens and it actually works better than before but.. you would have to carry it in your pocket...
On a side note I find the kit kat camera faster than the jellybean camera.

Yeah, I am talking about quality on a phone cam sensor. The quality difference is so much that even with naked eye, and even a dull headed person will notice the difference! And I am a DSLR guy by the way!
My biggest issue with CM is that there isn't a good multiwindow implementation yet. I know they're working on it (I think Google, could be CM, not entirely sure who exactly it is that's working on it), but the feature is still in early alpha. I can't use my phone without it. It's like not having a browser or a SIM card.

Google Camera is no longer available, it has been pulled from the Play Store... When it was there, it worked fine.
Personally, I use Camera ZOOM FX... not that it is much better than anything else, but I bought it years ago on sale for 25¢, it works quite well, and I am familiar with it. It has a multitude of adjustments, although it is not using the Camera2 API.
The Manual Camera Compatibility app fails on all items it checks, the phone does not support the Camera2 API and unless Moto adds support in Nougat, we likely won't get.
This is not to say that the Moto X doesn't take good pictures... personally I think the picture quality is excellent for a smartphone, far better than most of the other phones in the family except my son's S7 Edge (which has a fantastic camera). The only real drawbacks in my opinion are the stock camera app (which is bad, wish we had the new Moto Camera app, it is much better) and the lack of OIS.

You should find a new professional mode option in the camera mode menu found in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.
If you don't see the option it means that the ro.product.device setting in your build.prop file is not been set to one of the valid device names that will enable professional mode in this modified version of the app.
The list of device name that will enable professional mode in this version of the app are: athene, griffin, addison, clark, osprey, luk, kinzie and otus
From the 5 professional mode settings I discovered that the "Shutter speed" setting does not appear to work the on stock android 6.0.1 and somebody else reported that the "ISO" setting does not appear to work on android 6.0.0, "Manual focus", "White balance" and "Exposure" all appear to work as expected.

So I bought a moto x pure few days ago but I've been really busy moving to a new home in the city where I will attend university;
Thx for your help,
About the new phone I like the performance, camera is great but not as great as you would expect a 21mpx camera to be I mean it's sharp but details are Kind of blurry if you zoom in so much and dynamic range is unsatisfactory completed to my brother's Nexus 5x camera!
Best thing about it is the front panel! Front facing camera, screen and speakers (they're so damn loud)
Camera app isn't as bad as I thought but still not so good!
It just needs getting used to coming from my Nexus 5, Google camera was way more comfortable and makes a lot more sense! The only Google camera app that worked for me is the old one I Mean the one from KitKat times! Still a nice alternative with a slightly better color reproduction!
So if you find a way to make camera 2 api work or any better camera app please let me know

I totally understand you concern, I downloaded the original apk from this post and than modified the file myself to enable professional mode and the debug menu.
i have yet to find a way to download apk directly from the play store but i keep looking from time to time.

BTW ISO and Shutter speed do not work, changing them won't affect the picture however white balance and manual focus work great!
Is it true that an app can make all the difference for picture quality? How good is the stock camera app that Ph-1 comes with? I'm not photo expert, so there may be a go-to camera app that everyone uses but I don't know about so I'm stuck using the generic stock one.
Thanks.
Use Cstarks Google Cam port. Much better performance, IMHO

Cstark 3.6 is the one to start with IMHO. The others may or may not work
in low light the difference between the stock camera app IQ and one of the GCam ports (I use Arnova's V6) is quite noticeable, I use the stock app for monochrome shots, and the GCam port for everything else, as the IQ is just better.
I installed the very top/latest APK from that page (GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V7.9.apk) on this PH-1 running Android P beta and photos look pretty great. I'm comparing it with the camera app that came with the beta, and it's much better. Thanks for the link.

Yeah, I tried the same and it is really great. Even with latest update, I was very disappointed with the burst mode of Stock Camera. Most of the shots came out blurry when taking moving objects like kids.
This one does a much better job. Pixel and One Plus 6 are very fast. They take 20 pics in 2 seconds. PH1 takes around 5-6 seconds.
I am yet to test anything else.
Every version of the gcam apk I have downloaded scans as malware. May be a false positive but is enough to keep me away.
I am wondering if any camera apps in the play store offer improvements?
@arsenal74 what are you scanning them with? Where are the dls from? Have you read the security statement on the site linked above?

I use Nvisio https://apkscan.nviso.be/ and also virus total. Scans as malware/pup
As is noted on the site. It's up to you but a pup is only highlighting something if you didn't put add it yourself.
Your scanner is full of Bull. I use Malwarebytes and no issues with gcam apks.
It is an online scanner that uses multiple services, for this file only 1 of the services flagged it as suspicious, go to the link above and try it on the apks that you have.
I have no idea what Babable PUP.HighConfidence means but it is enough for me to think twice about installing.
Read the security notice on the gcam APK website... That's exactly what it says!

Never saw that, thanks!
I have seen a similar warning when looking at similar versions of this port before so have steered clear.
