I want to use a camera app that uses manual camera settings. Those settings are available in Lollipop. However, LG has not implemented any of them for the G2 in version 5.02. Does anyone know anything about this? Like whether they will be implemented soon? Or is there something that can change this?

So, I just got the G3 (jumped from the g2) and was wondering if there is any way to add (or customize) the apps available on the dual-window screen?
The reason I ask is I had rooted my g2 and someone was able to port a version of the dual window app over to it (from the original phone it was launched on, the g-flex). I have looked but have not been able to find anything for the g3 yet? This would be awesome as I really think this is the only major flaw I have found in my g3, at least for me anyway?
I don't know if there is another way, but I used this apk and it allowed me to add all my apps to dual window. I know it says its for lg flex but it worked on the G3 as well. Of course, make a backup before hand just to be safe.

You change a setting in your build.prop to allow ALL apps to be used in dual window, amongst other things.
G3 Build.prop Tweaks
I noticed that this problem was relatively prevalent with the G3 and that there were a few threads a while ago, but those went unresolved.
Except for a factory reset, has anyone found a work around with this issue? I only just noticed it happening with my ATT G3 when I rooted it...
I'm not sure if that's the issue. I also replaced the regular media profiles xml file with the one that is modded, as I heard that may help, but it did not.
Is there a workaround for this?
Same BS....different day

Seriously, how can a brand new phone right out of the box have the native camera app crash indefinitely until LG and Verizon (among other carriers) roll out a patch 6-9mo later if we are lucky!?
I'm so pissed about this it isn't even remotely entertaining. Can you install 3rd party camera apps? Yes. Are they full of bloatware and not as simple and streamlined to use? Yes, usually. It is just ridiculous. I'm un-rooted and within 2 weeks this was happening. What a @##$%-show.
Can't believe this hasn't been addressed. There is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/app-xcam-lg-v5-1-0-t2873604. It didn't work for me though. Still crashes even after following the directions to a "T". Even paid for it and nothing changed. So, I got a refund.
Update to post.....

Upon further attempt, I did get the XCam app and settings to finally work. So, the link above does actually give you the streamlined app with modifications and ability to save to SD (after purchasing the settings app, rooting, and applying the SDFix app). I must have missed a step.
Still SUCKS that the native LG app is broke.
Had the same problem, now fixed with latest update

What does that mean? What latest update? I saw your post from that link and you state v10 h...what does that mean? Maybe an OTA update from your carrier? I have Verizon, I assume we are not battling the same thing here regarding LG G3 for Verizon.

That would be the last firmware that LG released for the international version of G3 (D855). I assume that all carriers base their updates on the official updates from LG.

Ahhh, ok. So, obviously I can't get updates for this phone unless Verizon rolls that out, correct? Not like I can download something independently from LG and upgrade it right? Other than custom ROM. Which I may be closing in on. I did have good luck with the XCam app though...it uses the base LG camera app but tweaks the @#[email protected]!# out of it. It has worked nicely once I finally got it going, if anyone stumbles upon this.

All you have to do is disable OK Google Hotword detection in the Google app. You could still use the feature through Nova Launcher if you're using it but that will solve the problem. It was a huuuuuge relief for me when I found that.
"OK, Google" crashes the app!?

So, I disabled the hotword feature in the Google app under the voice settings and enabled in Nova Launcher (love this launcher btw) and lo and behold it appears that the native camera app actually indeed works again, with zoom. I haven't really used video yet.
In all fairness I haven't used the native camera app in a while and I've been using the XCam app workaround (which has been great, I almost like the interface better), so I'm not sure if this indeed worked or not. On a side-note I don't have the "Ok, Google" feature actually working from the Nova Launcher (it is enabled) but I could care less as I just go to the actual Google app and then say "Ok, Google" and it of course works from there. Thanks for the help man....

i had same problem and i disabled ok google and it's working now!
i dont know why it crashes due to ok google feature though. nice find! huge thanks!
Now that I have my G4 (TMo) rooted, unlocked, xposed, etc, I find I'm happy with pretty much everything. App Ops is built in, settings that were gone in stock can be easily added back with xposed modules, I'm no longer stuck with the crappy built-in battery monitor, bloat's been removed, etc. However, there is still one sticking point... I HATE the stock LG notification drawer, particularly its "quick settings" implementation, and would like to get this back to stock-style AOSP Lollipop. I had hoped to find a Xposed module to help with this, but nothing thusfar has been able to change the notification drawer. Custom ROMs are a potential option, but I'm pretty sure I'd hate the phone even more if I didn't have double-tap-to-wake, and I'd rather not compromise the camera quality.
Has anyone found a way to change this, or could point me in the right direction of figuring it out myself? (I suspect it may require a mod to the ROM.)

First of all, I can guarantee you that there will not be an xposed module that will let you completely change how the quick settings work. There will be an xposed mod coming out soon that will let you change the colors and such with the quick settings.
Secondly, essentially all custom ROMs for the G4 will have DT2W support. When I flashed CM on my G3 last year, the ROM supported DT2W, and the camera quality was still the exact same. It also supported the laser auto focus as well.
I finally had the Pie OTA update notification arrive recently and have been doing some research on the usability changes that Samsung made before I update.
One change in particular is that the new camera app no longer has the video record button accessible beside the shutter button, instead you have to switch to a dedicated video mode to record. I also read that apparently this change also means that 'Pro'/manual mode can no longer record video. Is that true? This control is something really useful in my work, so is a pretty big deal breaker.
Does anyone know if it's possible to downgrade the stock camera app in Pie to the one included in Oreo? Would system changes make it incompatible or would it fail to install or work for some other reason?
Obviously the idea is to keep the better camera UI and also retain the OEM camera secret-sauce that manufacturers seem to bake into their systems/apps.
I've found what I believe is the stock camera apk file for Oreo at /system/priv-app/SamsungCamera8/Samsung Camera.apk
No you cannot, best case scenario would be someone porting it but you'd need root to install it and no-one has done that yet
Damn
Is the need for porting due to significant changes in Android, or just that apps need to be specifically built to be compatible with a specific version/s of Android e.g. Using the newer environment/sdk?

same here on s7 edge
i searched all the planet for this
Hi,
Just got a new LG G7. When I first used the AI cam feature - I was seeing tags of the things it was recognizing.
After upgrading to Android 9 - I don't see it the tags anymore.
Is this was removed as part of the upgrade or I messed something up with the configurations?
Someting on your phone.. Works for me
Any idea what can cause it?
Is there any configuration to disable it or uninstalling some app \ permissions can cause it?
It's built in the camera app so I have no clue
