LG G3 replacing the camera module with G4 - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Guys
I thinking to try to change the rear and front moduls of my G3 with these of G4.I found that they have the same pins and just a plug and play but I am not sure will the software will recognize the camera ? What do you think I think that is not impossible maybe just some configuration in the kernel.

i admit i thinking to do the same thing and sure 80% they will work because is a sony lens anyway, only thing you could have is FC on camera software or camera dont show properly when open the software!
is a thing for who have the G3 and G4 have to do and show the results...

The software won't recognize it.

Crazy idea, if it works wow.

I think it will work or will need some software adjustment that will make it work but I do not see the reason to not work ! I found a rear and front camera from aliexpress for 28$ both of them and think to order it soon but I decide to share my idea with you guys.

You will make an revolution on g3. Give any feedback

but how you know they are original from G4?! have a lot of fake camera moldures out there...i see some ones in ebay from 15 to 35$ but all looks diferent and i dont belive the 15$ one is original, or it's the same from G4.

I can't be sure but I will try.And will do a little reserach on that question

I will try the same with Nexus 5. You need to rebuild your LG G3 kernel including G4 camera drivers (just pick them from G4 kernel source)
Then, you may need some G4 vendor libs.
Then replace files if you have problems. Use logcat to debug.

Good luck lol
Think that, if you just change rear camera, you need to keep drivers of the front facing camera, so you may need to edit the kernel to add rear camera drivers, and maybe, take some camera vendor libs from G4

Old thread, sure, but has anybody managed to slip a G4 camera module into a G3?

Any updates?

My ordering for rear camera module from G4 is in process of delivery.After I received the modul I will give you more information.

Any update ? I own LG G3 too.

Hello guys
I received the camera modul form G4 but the modul is too big to fit in place whatever I connected the modul and just give try to test will it work but the camera isn't start in general.The main conclusion is it that the fitting the module is possible but need to much filing and after that will need to port all drivers and files from G4.

[Q] !!!!!!help I have me problems with the camera of the elf!!!!!!

help I have me problems with the camera of the elf!
Don't work me anymore! must I replace her it, would someone know me to say where to find her it?
And possible to replace the camera with one who has more pixelses? If him where I find her it?
excused to my English not and my fort…. Thanks to all beforetime!
What is the problem first of all?
And no, you can't put in a higher res camera.
ebay may have a replacement part.
the main problem and that the camera does not work me, and I have tried to inform to me in a center of assistance in my city (Trieste - Italy) and they have answered to me that the camera of reciprocation does not have to us and very difficult to reperire. And so me meeting without camera and this gives much annoyance to me being that drawn my Elf with much cure.
and on ebay they aren't successful to find it and for this I wondered if by chance it were possible to mount a camera of an other compatible model HTC with l Elf.?
Was it the HTC service centre that said the camera is broken? Did they mention if it was the detachable camera board, or something more?
All I can really suggest is backup, hard reset, does it work?
If not, well, then I would suggest maybe opening your device and checking how the camera board is seating into the mainboard. If it is all fine, you may need to find a new one. Either a new phone, or a new camera board from a dead elf.

[Q] HTC Desire HD Autofocus not working and need to replace camera

Hi everyone,
I just brought Desire HD from some one and unfortunately got the defected piece . It has camera autofocus problem. Cam focus is fixed at one point and autofocus not working at all. I tried all possibilities like reset, change of rom etc, but no luck. Now I believe its a hardware problem.
My question is that could this problem be fix after change camera module? I am planning to get camera module from ebay or from local market. Is there any possibility that the camera could be fine but problem with the board or supply of voltage etc.??
Thanks and regards,
Khurram

Sorry, I understand wrong. first time I think your need restore firmware.

and what's the issue is it a software probleme or hardware !!
i will be appreciated for help me ✌
It's most likely a hardware issue. Many people are facing this. Just type in "pixel camera not working" and you'll see a lot of articles talking about it. Permanent fix is to replace camera module

No. You can check if camera is damaged using a strong neodymium magnet. Just google this.

I did google and saw that. I am hoping someone on here reads this and explain why freezing my phone makes the camera work
I don't know. I don't recommend doing this since the water will condense on the internal parts of the phone (warm and cold difference) and you risk shorting something out or you risk damaging the battery.
