Help bringing LG V10's camera to the G4

[DeGon]

LG recently presented the V10. Apart from some goodies (like the 2nd screen, 2 front cameras and a Hifi DAC) and +1GB RAM it has pretty similar hardware as the G4. The main camera is the same.

One of the most interesting software features is a manual video mode in the camer app. With this ist's possible to set ISO, aperture etc. manually. I hope that LG will port the app also to the G4, but it could be that they keep it back a bit to let this be an exclusive feature of the v10 for a while. So maybe someone could help to port the v10 app for the G4.

A early user of the V10 exported the folder in /system/priv-app/LGCamera App/ that camera has the version 4.55.52.1 (while my camera on the G4 LMY47D / V10d-EUR-XX is 4.52.34.10). But simply replacing the same folder in the G4 with the one of the V10 doesen't work. The camera app just crashes when starting. Well, that's not so surprising, but was worth a try.

Is there someone here who would like to look into that? Manual video mode on the G4 would be a blast!

The contents of /system/priv-app/LGCamera App/ are attached to this post.

Edit: Added config xmls from /system/etc/

Edit2: Added more files. The attached zip (LGV10camera.zip) now contains:
- system/priv-app/LGCameraApp/*
- system/etc/media_profiles.xml and camera_config.xml
- system/lib/libcamera_metadata.so, libcamera_service.so and libcamera_service.so

Might need the camera_config.xml and media_profiles.xml from system/etc/

I'm really interested, for performances but mostly manual focus on video mode.

Realized that now. Already asked for it. Will provide asap.

Like @Rydah805 said, without media_profiles.xml and camera_config.xml not much can be done...
Looking forward to manual controls in video...

Added the necessary xmls to the top post.

No. I just added the files from the V10, I don't think it would work out of the box, but maybe other xda users have experience with modding the LGCamera App.

How can you dump the system. You can then porting applications most )

Unfortunately I don't have a v10 (yet?), so I asked a early user to send me the files. Can't ask for a full dump of his personal phone though.

 

[Almighty1]

Should ask for a dump of /system since it should contain everything.

Need libcamera_metadata.so, libcamera_service.so and libcamera_service.so inside system/lib folder.

there is a problem with this method , this will not work on all of the G4 devices like the T mobile or the Verizon model
if you try it on the h-815 model i think this model is the one that most of the users have , but yet again if this works then the files must be tested and modified for all the models

All files (app, config files, libs) now in a single zip in the first post. No dump of /system available by now...

I guess you want to keep the permissions, etc... but I do not know how.

What can I use to dump /system ?
