LG Camera has been ported over to CM7

SyntekSystems · Apr 17, 2012

I just tried this mod of a camera and I can confirm that it works on CM7 (CM7.2.0-RC1) for the G2x.

I'm sorry for reposting a thread that has probably been made but I haven't seen anywhere else that this has been posted.

The Single post has been pulled from the Optimus 2x forums.

Thank you to the dev(s) that made this mod possible for CM7! I am now officially off Froyo and on GB 2.3.7 thanks to this camera mod

Maybe it will be usefull for somebody...
It's a LG Camera for CM7 (thanks to Stefan and francarl) with bitrate/fps/mp4 modifications.

Bitrate and fps values are taken from v1 of AndiCP's Mod, and should be:

Video quality 1080p:
Set FPS from 24 to 30 (varies a little, similar to stock LG app)
Set normal video quality from 5Mbps to 7Mbps (= fine in stock LG app)
Set fine video quality from 7Mbps to 12Mbps
Set superfine video quality from 9Mbps to 17Mbps

Video quality 720p:
Set normal video quality from 2Mbps to 4Mbps (= superfine in stock LG app)
Set fine video quality from 3Mbps to 9Mbps
Set superfine video quality from 4Mbps to 14Mbps

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

Also video-file format changed from 3gp to mp4 (maniacdave's mod from Modaco )
Also audio quality changed to 44khz/128kbps from original 22khz/64kbps.

Thanks for posting this. I'll check it out. I haven't seen this posted anywhere else either so no worries

I suppose this is the LG froyo camera? If it is, will this work on non-CM7 roms as well?

Any bugs that you found out? I might go to cm7 just so I can try this. Cm9 is buggy for me but I just can't get off of it

The only bug I've encoutnered so far is that you can't zoom while video recording, everything else seems to be working just fine. I wonder if there's an updated fixed version out yet for this, since the post is from January.

Is your Front Facing Camera showing everything upside down? Works on stock 2.3.4 as far as I can see as well.

No, it's working properly.

LG Camera

The camera hangs when I stop video recording. Get a message to force close or wait. Tried fixing permissions and reboot but did not correct it. Running HFP 2.1

Yeah, I'm encountering that bug too, I'm assuming it's because the mod uses higher quality rendering than the stock Froyo one from LG. The container is also set to mp4 instead of 3gp. see the original post up above.

It's been said to leave the program alone when you stop video recording for a few seconds. It should go back to normal. I don't have any problems with freezing.

Try turning off auto review and see if it works.

Turned off auto review and waited a few seconds, no hang. But FC when I switched back to still camera.

Then went to settings and turned auto review back on. Now all seems to be working correctly.

I guess I sorta fixed that issue for you. Lol.

owain94 in the following pages actually posted the camera with "updated" libs.

I fixed my front facing camera being upside down by replacing the libcamera.so from the flashable zip with the libcamera.so that I got when I updated my baseband to March 11 2012. Just an FYI for those who updated that want to try this.

Mod works perfectly fine on stock 2.3.4 that was available by LG recently.

sambodie · Apr 18, 2012

Yes, thanks. You never know what will work. My FFC appears to be working OK. with the file from the OP's post. Not sure what I would get to use the one from January.... an option should this one hang again.

I am coming back from ICS as I have needed a working camera recently. Waiting for some additional work on the new 2.3.4 release to see if the BB exclusivity issue can be cracked. If you are foolishly optimistic, that one day release was a dry run for the G2x ICS update

What exactly did you do to get it to work? I might update my girlfriend's phone to stock 2.3.4 and wanted to know what you did to get the camera to work on that rom

desynch- · Apr 18, 2012

All I did was:

Update the phone to 2.3.4.
Reinstall CWM.
Downloaded owain94's version of the LG Camera from the link I posted.
Made a copy of the 2.3.4 libcamera.so under /system/lib.
Install lg camera's zip from CWM.
Put back the 2.3.4 libcamera.so into /system/lib

Do not touch the auto review after you put back the 2.3.4 libcamera.so, otherwise you'll have to do it again. It won't record video and will FC.

Vinsane · Apr 18, 2012

Everything works fine for on Hellfire 2.1 GB....EXCEPT ..zoom while vid recording.

Any fixes for that?

I read through the original thread, but there was no mention of a fix. owain94 did say it was working for him, but nobody else could say the same.

The FFC is still upside down when you put the phone into landscape mode.

desynch- · Apr 18, 2012

Yeah I noticed that yesterday. But honestly, for what I use the camera for, it didn't bother me.

With that, I have no idea how to fix it.
