http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/app-xcam-lg-v5-1-0-t2873604
You guys can give it a shot and tell us here what you thing about it if is Better than the native lg cam app or non at all.

some LOW-light and Night Picture test using XCam

Thanks you for posting this. I love the phone, but I really hate the camera. This app makes the pictures come out so much more clear.
Edit:
I just noticed the front camera only goes to 2m. I thought It was supposed to be a 5m camera?

have you tried to see if the phone can record on the 1080p 60 fps option

LoL sorry ihad the front camera instead and 1080p 60fps which is slow-motion isn't available LoL, yeah i just did a recorded test using 1080p 60fps (Slow-Motion) and records pretty well, i really don't recommend record video using 60fps unless you are playing to playback at slower rate (24fps or 30fps) for a slow motion effect.

the only close thing we have to the G3 is the Camera as far as i know, CPU,GPU ,Board, Screen Res. is completely different......

I was thinking just app wise.

opppsssss LoL, well we can use the Xcam for G3 and so far Xcam is the best LG Stock Camera App out there.

LgCamera 6.4

Hi,
Is anyone there who tried LgCamera 6.4 on LG G2? If yes what is your experience? Could you record 1080p60fps video?
I tried and tested few functions and so far it works perfectly on LG G2 too. Also It shots pictures without any sharp blur or any other dirt. Only the pure clear picture which is unbelievable in this modern world. It doesn't want to impress the user with too sharped photos on mobile screen but pictures look good on monitor and TV as well.
Hi,

I hadn't seen this camera before and just installed 6.4 final. It appears to be taking great pics. Better than stock G2 cam. Will test tonight indoors with low light on my GF.
I noticed you can't take pictures with the phone vertically.. The pictures come out sideways

That's not very good quality. I began thinking it was the software causing this camera to be a bust. It's the hardware I am gathering.
Did anyone try to 60fps video option. G2 can do. This software also has such option but result is always 30fps. Factory camera software can record 60fps video.
My low light pics were awful, the aosp camera did a better job, if that tells you anything

It tells not too much. I haven't used AOSP camera on LG G2 so far but low light function is not in my focus sorry, although I am very satisfied with low light capabilities of built in camera. What is interesting for me in this program is that pictures and video post-processing is much less then others'. As I see every phone manufacturer built as many post-processing options in their phone as they could do. Typical is the sharping and denoising which make pictures on mobile screen wow but zooming on monitor to just 100% it is already terrible usually. I hate this and in addition such kind of effects cannot be removed subsequently. I know these effects can be good and useful sometimes but I prefer if I can do the post-processing according to my taste. So this program is very promising from this point of view.
I did video in sunlight too and I got always 30fps result in spite of 60 fps setting. I am wondering whether any of you knows a trick how to turn it on. Thanks for it in advance.
Does anyone know whether you needed software to take advantage of the ois in the G2? Meaning, can a camera aside from the stock camera use the ois? I noticed this camera app has an anti shake mode but I'm guessing that's a software stabilization.

All camera software takes all advantage and disadvantage of OiS. It cannot be turned on/off. Also I see that software has an anti shake option but I haven't turned it on yet. I think using it does not make sense in case of photo because of OiS. In case of video? Interesting... I think so that software anti-shake function does not eliminate disadvantage of OiS .

Qualcomm libs handle hfr rates differently max fps range is 30 but if you add this camera parameter video-hfr
Code:
161// Values for HFR settings.
162const char QCameraParameters::VIDEO_HFR_OFF[] = "off";
163const char QCameraParameters::VIDEO_HFR_2X[] = "60";
164const char QCameraParameters::VIDEO_HFR_3X[] = "90";
165const char QCameraParameters::VIDEO_HFR_4X[] = "120";
video-hfr 60
video-hfr 90
video-hfr 120
you can enable hfr
Thanks a lot indeed. As I see I can do it just on rooted system. I am planing to root my phone, may be this weekend.

Nobody expect something special in case of low light! As I see it does not contain any special function for it. Use built in camera in low light! It works very well in these circumstances.
Aosp camera better than stock G2 camera? Must be something wrong with the phone . I can't make this phone take a bad picture.
What is nice about this app is that you can change the bitrate from very low to very high. Also, it will allow you to choose the file format you create and will allow for touch to focus in video, unlike the stock app in the G2.
Also, it automatically brightens the screen to 100% which is convenient. It seems to me that there are things that different camcorder/camera apps do better than others. Apparently there it's capable of recording from the input jack in a certain configuration that other apps are not able to. I don't recall exactly what the details are, but if you are interested in connecting an external mic, apparently this app can do something 'special'.

[Q] Alternatives to Default/Stock Camera App?

do you guys use alternatives to the stock Camera?
been thinking of trying Focal but just wanted to get a sense of what else do you guys use
(assuming that there's always a better alternative to the Samsung apps)

I'd like to find a camera that supports video at 60fps. Focal has a setting but it does not work.
Stock camera does not remember the 60 fps setting for me. I have to set it every time I open the cam :_(

Get "alogcat" or other logging app and set it to run then reproduce your problem. It's also possible through adb.

Worked great on my stock D80110c rooted (4.2.2)
big apk but everything works ! even the SEEit! Gallery . While it has a lot of bells and whistles functions.
I use this also its been around for a while and works Great
Camera is Android 4.3 Camera App
What works and I've tested:
- take pictures on all res
- photo-sphere works
- panorama works (I've got though some garbled photos at the end)
- front camera works
- video recording works (both 720 and 1080)
- all settings work
If this helped
Click Thanks :good:

well yes and no yes only 8mp no 16:9 in 8mp
2mp 16:9
I know , I know . it is the issue is with the aspect ratio (the ratio between width and height. At full resolution, the aspect ratio of the camera is 4:3. the screen aspect ratio is 16:9. So to display a 4:3 image on the 16:9 screen you need to either leave bands at the top and bottom, or crop some of the picture off the sides. And of course WE want the highest MP . But we have a LG-G2 .
Now now on my LG-G2 with this Lenovo Super Camera is working. And I can set to resolution 4160x3120 13MP and I will test to see if it really is to resolution .. I really dont know
Tested : yes I was able to take pictures at the highest 4160x3120 and 4160x 2340W. every thing works except burst shots .. to fast for camera to focus or to save picture .
A better camera is actually serving my purposes pretty well and it has a lot of handy features. Thanks for the recommendation.

One plus One Camera in AOSP G2 ROM

Hi everyone
Wonder if you could have someone on your G2 rom based on AOSP, test applications camera with One plus One.
It would be nice if someone checked the work all camera modes and recording 4k
One Plus One apps
If everything works as it should is the main feature (camera mod with 4k + slow motion) for which some people are using stock roms without consequences could install AOSP rom
Thank you very much in advance for your interest

Probably some libs missing and media_profile.
Maybe can let anyone on AOSP install xdabbeb camera mod and open the apk from 1 +1
I have been using this camera and in my experience it is faster and it is focusing great!
IT WOULD BE GREAT IF SOMRONE PORTED 4K FROM 1 + 1

Huh. I'm embarrassed to say I never realized that because it seemed fast to me, but I never really played back any videos I took on this device in full.
Maybe rooting and adding the Google HDR+ camera or Camera2 api will let you do so, but IDK. I know for sure that the IMX298 is capable of taking 60fps video since other phones with the same sensor can do so. But I don't know how to get it working.
