I've read through the forums a bit and have not found an answer to my question so here goes.
I flashed CM12.1 on my D850 a few days ago and love it. Thing is all the different camera apps available that I have tried suck except for Oppo. Still it is no where near equivalent to the stock camera app. Would it be possible to make a driver for the stock camera app that would work with CM12.1 or even other stock roms? If so how would you go about doing that? What would be needed? I have used Xcam for the stock rom and really like that camera app. How hard would that be to port over to CM12.1? The Stock ROM that comes on the G3 is not all that bad but I personally love android when it is in its truest form, but I also like a good camera.
If nothing about can happen are there any custom Stock Roms? Rom's that would allow use of Xcam or stock camera but still allow the level of customization?

With all due respect but this question has been asked around a thousand times, in hundreds of threads.

No, missing LG framework = no stock camera possible on AOSP roms.

Hey thanks for the respones and yes I know the question has been asked I guess I wasn't clear enough in what I was asking. I meant would it be possible to add what is needed to get the camera to work? Like pick apart the parts of the framework that is needed and integrate it into cm12.1. That would allow the addition of a few cool features of the lg stock rom

You do realise it makes no difference right
Having the LG Camera App doesnt mean that 4K recording is magically gonna be enabled

I apologize if this is in the wrong forum. Does anyone know if there is a stock custom ROM being developed for this device? One that may remove all the unnecessary bloatware?

He means LGs stock software for this device but debloated.
Not yet it seems. Everyone is interested in either AOSP ROMs or getting the GPE to work on the v500s.

I would be interested too yes.
(because there are a few functions that I would like to keep:
-knock on/knock off
-Qremote or any other remote app that will work with the IR blaster
-screen on/off with opening/closing magnetic case flap.)

I suppose I could just root the device and then use Titanium backup to uninstall the bloatware. However, stock custom ROMs usually have various tweaks to make the battery last longer and run smoother in general.
Has the New camera API for Android 5.0 become available now that we are getting 5.0 roms?
Really looking forward to using the new features.
If not, what aspect of these new things are we waiting for to get support? Is it something in AOSP that we have to wait for, or something with the apps or roms themselves?

Do you mean for AOSP 5.0 or LG's own 5.0 rom?
I know that AOSP and all the roms using it's base, can't really handle the camera of the G3.
Could you specify?

Well you're gonna get the new API, but it's going to be drastically limited since the LG camera needs an LG driver.
So you might have a feature more or two, but it's really no use when the camera is degraded to 2011 quality and video is only 15 fps.
There is a lot more to this than the API of the operating system. The driver is where the magic is at.

I actually put up a post some time ago asking the same question, but the answer remains the same, it's probably not going to happen any time soon. Not to mention other problems that relates to G3 + AOSP. Example could be the IR remote controller.
I know that some developers had luck with AOSP + LG G2 with the camera, where they ported it, but AFAIK it was more or less crashing all the time and missing features and functions, so at the end of the day it wasn't really worth the effort.
Now what I have done is simply use LG's Lollipop and then tweak it all the way to AOSP, retaining all the good stuff
LG's rom can actually be made very nice including in performance and that comes from a guy whose old phone was a Nexus 5 with Lollipop
The ports of LGs camera always worked great for me on AOSP. And given how ridiculously simple the camera app is for the G3 I'd expect it to be even easier to get working.
I'm OK with sticking on stock Lolipop Roms if that means having access to the 5.0 Camera API. I just have to wait to get there since I'm on VZW.
Are you able to use the API on your Lollipop stock rom?

The lollipop roms from LG do not feature a camera driver for the new camera2 api. That is a shame for two reasons. First of all the new api gives you a lot of new options (manual mode, raw export among others) which in turn enable developers to implement neat tricks like the super sensor from A Better Camera. Overall a huge opportunity! Secondly the LG Flex2 with the exact same camera module (AFAIK) has the new api.
So please everyone ask LG about that. They might eventually listen. Or maybe some rom developer could port the driver over from the Flex2.

is there any luck of us getting this functionality on our phone ? does it require a firmware update from lg for the camera ?
because cyanogemod/aosp has the api already included. so it makes me think its the firmware which is lacking

Indeed it is the firmware. However XCam LG by xdabbeb acheives much if what I'd hoped for from the camera API. Bitrate/compression control, RAW (DNG format) support, ISO control and some shutter speed settings.

Hi, Guys absolutely love aosp roms and only use them hate stock as there are so many ugly and annoying features that are implemented that cannot be removed and slow downs the device and the appeasing looks of the use, so aosp is only roms i use however the camera on aosp is really poor on my lg g3, put them next to my partners stock camera, shows how off the colors are on aosp its so washed out and colours are wrong, also the laser focus is not being used on aosp, any options or will there be any this year? or is it go aosp and kill the camera?
thanks

It is "go AOSP and lose camera"
No, it's very hard to fix it, and LG won't release it's sources.
Assume that it will never be fixed.

IR blaster was already supported by CM, and apps like AnyIrRemote worked on G3 before the port. Laser autofocus is not supported by cm in any way.
... Though, miracles do happen. Someone may be able to port it.

I hope they will. Thankfully for me, I don't use the camera of my G3 all that much.
The lasers do switch on when the camera is being used.
Hi CM camera quality seems to be very low, especially when taking photos in low light.
Does anyone know of mods to improve quality or re enable BIONZ?
Or maybe a port of stock camera+a drm hack? Anyone tried the stock camera on CM with the new DRM hack?
Last time I asked in a CM forum they said it isn't possible. I don't know if anything changed.
But you are right, camera is not good. It is the only reason why I use a sock based ROM.
If there is a possible solution I would like to hear it.

I'd be very surprised if it worked, afaik Sony apps need the Sony framework, which cm, aokp etc don't have.
I once (months ago) installed the Z2 camera app, and it refused to start without the framework.
Actually its not the stock cam itself the problem.
I compared google camera on stock rom vs. google camera on AOSP/CM Based rom and google cam on stock owns it all. Maybe it has something to do with the libs
Anyone that what's to going this project is welcome. This project involves finding a way to install the stock camera to asop ROM (like CyanogenMod,blisspop...)
Please help with framework.
alot of developers said it is not possible because it is too much complicated framework and also LG wont release all of their source code so its basically impossible right now

Even if you can, that would not be stock camera... That would be another port like Moto camera, snapdragon camera, lenovo super cam and none of these are even close to stock quality... So what's the point if it's not stock it doesn't matter...

alot of people dont get it
the orinal rom is using bin files that are close source and only working for that rom ,
so to port it , you need to port all of it , not just the app( only app is easy) but getting the whole framework to run a hell.
you can port the app , but will have no effect noone will -> because it has no effect
porting all files , is hard its closed sourced
and building a stock app for cam is the same as downloading any other app from market (you don't have the source for all de features you get with the normal rom)
and witch cam work best depends on the user , but i guess that a lot will say stock is better
eh
I wouldn't worry about it, you don't miss out on all that much anyways. Just a few features are not usable through generic camera apps. I personally use the Google Camera app and love how it works with my G3 on AOSP (BlissPop 3.4); though, I do notice a slower focus time due to no laser focusing.

This thread hurts my head.
This phone has been out for a year and a half, there's been millions and millions of man hours gone in to developing, tweaking and messing with the workings of this phone, yet there is still no camera that matches the quality of the stock camera on AOSP. Just accept that it isn't possible and likely will never be possible like it was mentioned earlier.
