LG camera app for non-LG ROMs - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Where to find stock LG camera app for non-LG ROMs, which has lots of features?
Namely, I have installed Cyanogen 5.1, need help.
Thanks.

There isn't a version. The stock camera will only work on stock ROMs.

Thanks,
SO whats gonna be the next best thing? I'm using stock google camera app but missing instant HDR and it seeme like picture quality (in terms of color balances) is not that great and camera is much slower.

I might be wrong, but there IS an LG camera app for cm based roms. You still don't have the great image quality, since the drivers are closed source. But you do get the camera software. I don't remember on which ROM thread the app is located, but I would start on the CM13 and CM12 threads.

Check the CM 13 thread, there's Dev on a cagers app that with quality and features of the G4, still buggy at present as in early stages of dev.

Noting in CM13 thread, but is pointless as you get worse pictures than using any normal cagers app.

It doesn't work on the g4 snap camera v3. In the older version it works but pics won't get saved with flash.
That's because it's closed source.
Follow the thread, maybe codeworkx will find a solution.

It's all fixed now

Camera question on CM10 ROM Android 4.1.2

Is it just me or does it seem like the camera was better when the phone was unrooted and without a ROM? Last night I rooted my phone and flashed the CM10 ROM...and I feel that the pictures come out a little blurry. The camera app is completely different in itself.
Is there any way to install the original camera app? The CM10 ROM upgraded me from android 4.1.1 to 4.1.2.

The stock camera app relies on the Touchwiz framework which CM10 does not use, so no you cannot install the original camera app.

Thanks. Is it just in my mind that the stock camera is better? Are there any good camera apps around that I could use?
There's a chance that the pictures with the stock camera are better, because the camera software has been optimized for the phone. However, someone posted sample pictures in the CM10 thread comparing the stock camera quality to CM10's camera quality, and the differences were negligible. The person posting them said he couldn't tell the difference if he didn't know there was one, and I personally couldn't see much difference either. I'm on my phone, so searching for it would be a *****, so if you're on a computer, I'd recommend giving the CM10 thread a search. If I can find the post before you, I'll edit this with a link.
You could always try it yourself, too. Find a room with consistent lighting (probably away from windows), and take some pics with Touchwiz. Then, take the same pics with CM10 (I guess, try to make a stand/marking of some sort so it's easier to put the camera at/near the same exact spot). Upload them to a computer or something (just because a larger screen will show the differences better; it's not entirely necessary), and compare.

[Q] 13MP New Google Camera?

Has anyone got the new google camera to work with 13MP or gotten the PhotoSphere to work?
This camera Im talking about: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2341996
Can only select 8MP in the settings and when you start PhotoSphere and align it, nothing happens.
Im using Paranoid Android rom from 26th June and F93 0.6 Kernel, tried with Kite r30 and was same. Anyone had any luck with other roms and/or kernel variations?
Just downloaded it and had the same problem.
Problem a ui error.

Well,here we go again.photosphere will not work on non nexus devices.google made it like this.it needs heavy coding to make it work,but it will stop on next update.photosphere worked on our g,on an early cm build by chad,because his kernel is based on a modified nexus4 source.but not anymore.photosphere is the cherry pic from google for the nexus line.

If you have that then unistall all gallery you have (be sure to backup them) and install new one as a normal app. Then you can launch the PhotoSphere.

But it does work, and it works on many different phones and brands with this camera, so your point is mute. Of course it may be patched out in the future, but I guess only Google developers know when or if that happens.
I wonder if the greyed out camera has to do with why we dont get 13MP.
I watched the thread,this new camera apk does not automatically brings photosphere. Again,i'm gonna quote chadouming,one of the top developers for our g :"if you want photosphere,buy a nexus".there is more than the camera.apk and gallery.apk.you also need to patch the kernel with the necessary lines to make it functional.
End of story.so,unless you are a dev and you know how to make it work,be my guest and go ahead.but any other discussions are useless and unproductive.
Ps,if the camera it's coming from a nexus device,of course we won't have 13mpx,nexus has 8mpx camera.not to mention the kernel. Don't get me wrong,i would love to have photosphere working on g,but repeating same things over and over and opening new threads for nothing is not going to help.

You clearly have no idea where this new camera is from. It's from HTC one and Samsung gs4 which do have 13mp(the s4). So the camera should handle 13mp. As for photosphere it's not that it's blocked and crashes, it just doesn't take the picture. It may not work for us, but it does work for lots of other phones, so I wanted to rule out it's not PA.
EDIT: I just tested with the stock based korean rom for geeb and it worked with photosphere, still just 8MP though.
EDIT2: Just realized geeb is just 8MP. Guess I will KDZ back and try on E975 stock.
EDIT3: Stock E975 didnt give 13MP either, but you can use PhotoSphere, and you can use both cameras at same time, dont even need root to install.
I was hoping it would replace the LG camera.it works but iamnot impressed.it is just like Snap Camera HDR.apk..with slightly wider view.

Camera on Chad's CM10.1
Hi,
Since I can't post in the developer thread yet, I hope this is the correct place to ask about Chad's CM10.1 for the LG e975.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2229806 "CM10.1 for Intl Optimus G (E975)"
Does anyone know what is the status of the camera in Chad's CM10.1? I had been using CM10.1 official but decided to try out Chad's version, using the latest nightly cm-10.1-20130709-Unofficial-geehrc_intl.zip. In my case the camera won't focus? Just checking here to see if anyone has similar problems because the posts in that thread seem to suggest the focusing issue has been fixed.
Thanks.
for me work
hello, I have a 975 (italian) model, and I can confirm that photospere work perfectly. The only problem is the 8MP resolution. Is strange becouse my apk is from galaxy s4 that have a 13MP camera. Anyway I'm more than satisfacted to have photospere, and I can confirm too that android camera and LG camera are both installed and both work togheter (same for the gallery!)
bye bye
Hi
Good to know focusing does work! Just curious how you managed to have photosphere working? I thought that is only available on a real Nexus 4?

Just install like a normal app apk. Apparently Google edition phones that aren't nexus get photosphere also, which this is from.
Installs on my Aus E975K CM 10.1.2 after I uninstalled the existing Gallery2 app, but restricted to 8MP. Also photosphere will open, but not take anything or show the scene (sits on "Align to Start").
I have reinstalled the old Gallery too, and the two camera apps seem to sit alongside each other just fine.

You have to be on stock for photosphere to work. But it should be fixable for cm if they want and find why.

[Q] Stock Camera App to AOSP

I really love the stock camera app that is pre installed on the Find 7. I did find it sad that once I tried installing a new ROM like AOSP or Cyanogenmod, I lost the camera app with special features. Features as 120 FPS or GIF Animation etc are all gone. Is there a way to return the app back to such ROM or is there a similiar app that does the same kind of tricks?
Normally stock cameras won't work on any custom roms, there's dependencies and blobs from stock that would need to be ported over, It would be awesome if someone would be able to do this, the stock camera app was pretty sweet.
I would love to have this feature, I like the Google camera app, but it's nowhere near as powerful as the colorOS one.
Subscribed to this thread... Simply to expect some very kind developer would be kind enough to port Oppo Stock Camera App to be able to run on AOSP custom ROM or on CM12 with Lollipop...

German but they write it gave the camera app. You must download the file and install first CommonCamera2.apk and then OppoCamera2.apk.
I have not test it.

Almost impossible to work it out for AOSP.

Exactly the reason why am not flashing other ROMs as the camera feature is important as it is being used for work and leasure. I tried so many ROMs since my S2 days, however, after weeks of experiencing the Camera of the Find7a, and comparing it with CM and other android , the Oppo version really nailed it for me. Have you tried the super macro? Lately, this was included in the COS V2.0.5Beta.
You can try this now on AOSP builds, it works on my Find7a CM12 as the OnePlus One is a "hardware copy" of our Find 7!

My situation is, I can take using ultrahd but when I look at the picture size, it was only 3-5 mb max which to me that it's not working , on colour os rom, it was usually around 9mb. And the picture itself is much sharper. For the slow shutter, it can go up to 30+seconds,but in reality it's only around 2 seconds. The picture end up really dark.
oh yeah, the mod and plugins need an update to suppor the new cm/oppo camera blobs including it's HAL for it to work on newer roms

50mp/clear image/ultra HD doesn't work
Tried on many roms that support lvm, the closest to working 100% is omni rom, but still 50mp/clear image/ultra HD, doesn't work, but slow shutter wonderfully.

I got my g3 2 months ago and im tired of trying different roms . So far i have treid gloudy, crash rom and few others based on stock but still ..I twould be freaking awesome if someone made this awesome job by puting the lg stock camera apk for aosp rom like Cyanogenmod etc.. :/ Dont flame me if that thread already exist..

Its not as simple as you think, the stock LG Camera app will never work on AOSP and Cyanogen based roms because the app requires lg libraries and sources, LG havent released sources so its impossible to have a fully work Stock camera, theres a thread in android development, you can go follow that, but its strictly for developers so dont post anything if you dont know what you're talking about technically.
I'm using stock camera on 5.1.1 aosp/CM G3 d850, some guy posted the apk in a thread for a ROM and the mod took it down
Is it just me or does that look nothing like the stock camera?

Ok cool, works better than aosp or Google for me. Thanks for the clarification
Well, pretty sure many users are staying with the stock based roms because of camera. So am I. I've tried stock G2, Jinshu htc port, and lenovo port but nothing came close to the stock in terms of the picture quality.... With android M coming, probably I will re-try those AOSP cameras again...

[APP] PixelMaster camera modes on AOSP ROM

Conscise: PixelMaster Camera on AOSP ROM doesn't show the 'Manual Mode' feature. Need app hack/trick/workaround.
Detailed:
Hey guys, just flashed the Slim ROM for our Z008 and I was delighted to see that ZenUI apps work on AOSP (some manufacturers like to block it) after I downloaded the PixelMaster Camera apk from the ZenFone blog.
However, the main feature that I love about our camera, the manual mode seems to not appear in the camera (unlike in stock ROM). And a line on the blog post says "Features subject to hardware/software limitations."
Now we know that's not the case so I'm guessing it's a driver issue or something since the ROM is still in beta.
Can we think of a workaround or a hack/trick or a build.prop edit or something like that to make the camera app think we have the required hardware/software?
Thank you very very much. [emoji1]
