This causes my phone to get stuck at the loading screen when flashed over SlimKat beta 2.2.

Running Carbon (4.4.2) on ls980 (Sprint) confirmed not working. It said "successful" in TWRP and then booted up to my bootanimation, where it then stopped and got stuck in a boot loop. Good thing I took your advice and backed up.

kind of reviving old thread...oh well :p I was searching for a better mod for CM based roms (I am on mahdi 2.5 vs980) and xdabbeb's camera mod for STOCK works great.....jinshu's on CM isn't that good, no tap to focus in video...12kbps audio recording. But I have yet to try this as when I install, I get a bootloop if I install.

I've been using this one to get stock camera on aosp. Neither have been updated in quite sometime, but at least this one is working for regular pics.

    What's New:

    "The app itself is more useful, time to focus is improved, low-light performance is better, etc. It's not perfect, but it's definitely an improvement. It seems like LG balanced things out. The video bit rate has been reduced, min fps increased, image quality increased, sharpness increased, audio bitrate increased, and more. Many of these changes are also in @Jishnu Sur's excellent mod, but with different values. Buy that guy a beer. He's been working on this camera for some time without even owning the device (and therefore without any of the benefit of the increased performance).

    Included in the zip are a number of updated libs that deal with post-processing. If you use panorama, effects, etc. they may be improved with this. I don't use them much so I only verified they still work. Some of them (particularly some of the render script support libs), seem to be more for the stock Google gallery app and weren't even included in the VS98011A rom, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to include them in case the newer gallery app uses them." - xdabbeb

    Create a Flashable ZIP Backup
    1) If you would like to make a ZIP backup simply download the ZIP file for the update and make a copy.
    2) Download a file explorer like ES Explorer or Root Explorer.
    3) Open up the update ZIP and look at all the names of the folders, those will be mimicked in your phone's system folder.
    4) Check the files within the folders of the update ZIP and note all the names, these will also be mimicked in your phone.
    5) Use your file explorer and copy all the mimicked files in your phone to your SD card.
    6) Connect your phone to your PC.
    7) Move all your files to somewhere easily accessible.
    8) Open (do not extract) the update ZIP copy with 7z or WinRAR.
    9) Go into each folder (except META-INF) and copy over the files from your phone to the update ZIP copy.
    10) Once you are done you now have a flashable ZIP to revert back to your previous state.

    Camera NOT Showing in 4.3/4.4 Fix
    If the AOSP camera is not appearing in the app drawer, first stop the camera that comes with the ROM, clear that camera's data, and then disable it. Reboot the phone and the AOSP camera should now be present. If it is not, then it is likely disabled. Re-enable it and that should get it to display.

    I had a chance so sift through the updated libs, etc., and have made a flashable zip with all the updated files.

    This probably should have its own thread, but it doesn't make sense to create more clutter. @Heatshiver, if you don't mind, could you please update the title stating that this is the F320K11E Stock Camera + libs and remove the original download (as it was incomplete) to avoid any confusion. Actually, it would probably be a good idea to quote all of this as well so people don't have to read/search through the whole thread. I don't mind that you started it, as long as you field all the support questions ;)

    I have tested this on my VS98011A and it is a marked improvement over the original. All of my comments are in relation to that version of the software/camera.

    What's new:

    The app itself is more useful, time to focus is improved, low-light performance is better, etc. It's not perfect, but it's definitely an improvement. It seems like LG balanced things out. The video bit rate has been reduced, min fps increased, image quality increased, sharpness increased, audio bitrate increased, and more.

Some of them (particularly some of the render script support libs), seem to be more for the stock Google gallery app and weren't even included in the VS98011A rom, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to include them in case the newer gallery app uses them.

    Instructions:

    1) Do a nandroid, or see which files are being updated and manually back them up.

    2) See #1. If you mess something up you'll wish you had.

    3) Flash away. I tested this with TWRP on a VS98011A and it works perfectly.

    4) If you have another variant, let us know here whether or not it works.









    F320K11E Camera Update



    *I will also send the files along to Jishnu separately for inclusion/analysis in his mod.

    Who is this ZigZagJoe Elite Recognized Dev?? If he thinks I'm a noob, please fix all the problems of the camera. Seems like He made the camera for the LG G2. If you did, man you are a bad engineer! ! :D :D

    I was in the process of making some flashable additions for "my" ROM so here goes a flashable update and one to revert.
    It removes and adds the necessary files.

    Here's a flashable restore: http://www.adrive.com/public/bZgr7H/LGCamera_Restore.zip

    Unfortunately, that's not how ISO works. An ISO increase increases noise, it does not desaturate or deteriorate fine detail. Quality is also not saturation. A person who knows about and performs color correction does not saturate a photo as it will hinder quality in post. That isn't to say that is what quality is. If saturation is how you like your pictures, that's fine, but that lends to a personal definition (albeit common) of quality, not a technical definition of quality. I would imagine it is pretty hard to determine detail loss if noise is covering it up to begin with? It would have to be drastically different for that to be apparent. Maybe you are mistaking compression artifacts for noise? Quality is about bitrates, the higher the bitrate the less compression artifacts, which means the better the detail. In either case, the ISO is not making it worse. So it is either bitrate variation you are talking about, or the post-processing system of the camera. The sensor is tiny, but that doesn't mean much other than more ISO noise than a larger sensor. If it did, then a 5DMKII would look leaps and bounds better than a 7D, but it doesn't. It is a matter of hardware. I can name two phones from last year with near-identical sized sensors, but their quality is vastly different.

    I am not going to go over the modes as they do have purposes, but they will take a long time to explain. If you have used any basic cameras of the last decade you should know what they do. Manufacturers rarely deviate from these modes other than by name. Besides, the best photographers use the manual mode.

    Exposure value would not just affect shutter speeds but ISO settings as well (as evident through simple testing). It should also affect aperture, but cameras on phones have a fixed aperture. However, while shutter speeds are initially changed on this phone, they stay constant. ISO then varies depending on the lighting situation. I took 4 videos of 2 locations, all at 30fps, two at +2 EV, and two at -2 EV, and each set in a light and near-black (dark) area. The results were that the light +2 remained at 30fps, but showed a lot of compression artifacts from a bitrate of 13+MB/s. The dark +2 remained at 30fps, but showed a lot of noise. The light -2 changed to 24fps and showed much less compression artifacts at a bitrate of 17+MB/s. The dark -2 showed almost nothing at all, but the tiny emitting lights that were shown were smooth. These were all done with this mod and no focus issues were present.

    I think the true issue with auto-focus primarily stems from IOS. This is the first 13MP to have it, so it's bound to have some kinks (hence the need for an update).

    The more important issue is that people all want to complain about a camera phone. And when someone like @Jishnu Sur wants to help out, people insert the comments with false or half-truth information that others take as fact. Some could argue that there is no harm if just speculating, but smarter people know better. The bottom line is that the camera is great as it is. If you want a better AF, get a real camera. But those who get a real camera, and know how to use them, already know that manual focus is the way to go.

    I hope this helps clear some things up, but any further comments should be left to PM or back on the thread where this actually started as I want this to be for the updated camera. Continuing this discussion is in part the fault of @KassaNovaKaine for bringing this up instead of just using a PM, and mine for wanting to correct it.


    Been testing this update, and it is a vast improvement!
