Best Camera Mod or apk - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so I have been on OCTOS for a while and I see like no one else is on it, so I thought it maybe isn't that great. For some reason it unrooted itself, so I went back to 30d on the T-mobile G3 with supersu. I am now looking for the best Custom Rom in regards to camera quality or if another apk will look work well with another rom. I am sick of the OCTOS grainy camera. I also don't want bad battery and a slow experience, so if there is some rom that is smoother with better camera please let me know. I will take better camera over performance if it is only a small drop though.

Try Fulmics. Based on stock lg ux 5.0, the camera is same as stock. Performance is the best it gets on stock lg rom. I am running it and i really love it. Battery life is around 4h SOT depending on usage. Also xposed is working fine. Glad if i helped

Thank you very much. Can you send me a link with instructions please? Is the performance almost as good as stock Nougat or is it a lot slower? Also is Fulmics 6.0 or 7.0?

You have all the instructions in the OP. As for performance i can tell you that you wont see the same fluidity and speed as it is on AOSP roms especially nougat. AOSP will always be better in performance because of the pure android base. Fulmics in performance is almost there but you will see the difference as it is lg stock ui. Hope i helped.

Aw no Nougat. Camera is very important to me though, so as long as it is only a bit laggy then all is good. Thank you very very much for your help and I hope you have a nice day

Ok, so I installed the rom, but now it is like switching between launchers. Am I supposed to flash it onto stock instead of onto something else?

Did swithing to Fulmics helped to increase the Camera App quality?
Can u please comment. I think i have the same problem when i changed to LineageOS/Cynogen 14.1

Yes it helped a lot. The camera is much better although it is still not as good as a new camera from like the pixel, but it actually looks decent instead of a complete mess. Keep in mind the battery life in fulmics is fantastically terrible same with the time it takes to turn off/on the phone.

[Discussion] What ROM do you use? (Not a best rom thead!)

Saw a lot of these threads on other phone forums and got curious.
**This is not a dev bashing, rom compairing, best rom thread!**
What rom you you use and why do you like it?
I am a flashing junky, and no... not the kind that wanders around parks in a trench coat.
I flash a rom, play with it, get bored , and flash another.
ATM im on PAC ROM and love it so far. The mix of the 3 roms combined is fun.
Just wondering what the G3 population thinks, so.. Let's hear it!
Zonerom ?it's fast, stable and battery is very good. Favorite rom so far. Been running it since it came out.
used to run zone rom when it first came out, but now that aosp roms are released, im flashing back and forth every few days.
Love how 480 dpi looks on this phone, and everything works at that dpi on these aosp roms.
... ok well almost everything, there are some features not worked out yet, but it is still good enough to be used as a daily.
Running CloudyFA's ROM. Still on a stock kick, especially with the Quick Circle case. Loving it.
Currently, bone stock. I rooted, then unrooted. For what I personally use it for, so far, stock suits me fine. We'll see what the future holds in development.
was Zone, Carbon now
Zone, based on stock 10m, is very stable and fast
Carbon, AOSP, is very stable too and lightning fast

I'm getting better battery life on every AOSP ROM I've used. My battery life on stock/stock ROMs wasn't bad either.

Nice?what rom would you recommend?
Stock>Skydragon>Pac-rom.
So far so good. Battery on AOSP holds up well. The build is a little laggy, but, as expected, this early into it.

What is best for me may not be the same for your use. I'd just pick one and flash away. I'm using Validus at the moment but have also used PAC, Beanstalk, Liquid Smooth, and shortly, AICP. They've all been solid with no issues for me.
currently running stock rooted. liquid smooth would be my daily but I have had to many blue screens on it.
Carbon currently. Loved PAC, but would get lag during some games and stutters here and there (expected). Tried Validus but had issues with unlocking screen and texting. AOSP has much better battery life than stock in general, for me at least. Haven't found one issue with Carbon yet.

Does exposed work on carbon? G3 tweakbox?
CloudyG3 1.2. I've tried pretty much every one of the stock and non-stock custom ROMs and I keep coming back to this. It has stock functionality with AOSP speed and performance.
Before Cloudy was released, I would have bet my house that I would have ditched stock ROMs for good once they got the camera working. It's not that the stock build was bad, but between it being a little wobbly and me coming from a Nexus 5... Even SkyDragon, Zone and Lonely didn't get to where I really wanted.
Now I'm all in with 'stock' again.... Because of that ROM

Xposed does work on AOSP ROMs but I don't think G3 tweaksbox will though. That's built to run on a LG based ROM. I personally think that most AOSP ROMs have enough built in options that xposed isn't necessarily needed. App Settings(per app DPI settings) was always the only module I ever really used on AOSP based ROMs.
Carbon - everything just works!

I haven't tried Xposed on Carbon, there is enough options in settings that I don't find myself needing it. Although I would assume it would work. G3 Tweakbox, on the other hand, probably wouldn't. That's more focused on stock mods.

Stock 20H vs Official Cyanogenmod 12?

Hi everybody, i want to learn which rom is more stable and faster? Cyanogen or Stock LG ROM?
I'm playing too much Games, Stock 20H is good but is Cyanogen's game performance slower than stock rom? I dont care Camera Quality etc.
Thanks for help

Cyanogenmod uses a lot less RAM than the Stock ROM. I would highly recommend it. Camera quality seems unchanged for me, and I have absolutely no lag or problems playing games.

I have not noticed a difference at all. It still looks beautiful! I doubt it would change the screen quality in any way. If there is a show on TV that is 1080p and you only have a 720p tv you're going to see the 720. Using that logic, anything that was displayed beforehand will be limited by the screen itself, so if the screen is the same it should display it the same.
Make a backup of your current ROM beforehand, install Cyanogenmod, and if you don't like it just revert back to what you had!

Glad it worked out positively for you!
If you had a QuickCircle case on your phone you can reenable it through the link in my signature!
Other than that there are many modules I suggest using with CM12 on the G3.

but how does battery do? cm12 vs stock?
i did notice 2gb ram isn't enough. i come from a cm11s phone wiht 3gb ram. so it was fast as what ever is fast. but now 2gb and stock rom on a lg g3 plus 2k screen is bad. my oncle has a 3gb ram its better no relaunching launcher or what ever. (still getting used to 2gb ram, all my apps keep on closing when i press home) still its a higher quality phone than oneplus. okay om going off subjet
so how much of a difference is there in batter? cause on stock its already bad 4h screen on is soo bad. but quality and compactness has a price

Better battery based on the amount of RAM taken up by system processes. I noticed a huge improvement.
You can try using servicely to prevent certain services from running and improve available RAM.

So what you say cm12 does better job for the 2gb version.
Didnt try to see what difference me and my oncle had in battery life. Since he has the 3 gb version. But yeah more ram means more apps cached in ram so less time to reopen, right.
I know cyanogenmod is very light on ram. (compared to stock roms for manufacturers)
I will see. I actually like lg stock roms always did. Atleast i likeed there ice-cream roms. Had it on my lg optimus 2x, and on lg optimus L9 loved there android 4.0 roms.
Still like this rom but some features anoy me. You always need to swipe to unlock even when you press the notification of lock screen or notifications bar.
I will see and try when i have time.

yep with twrp nandbackup will see when i have motivation
I have the d855 as well and have been with the latest stock 20h since it came out. Recently, around 3 weeks ago i wanted to give cmod12 a go to see the performance improvement everyone was taking about.
So i rooted it and with twrp i installed the latest nightly of cm12. Then, upgraded to 12.1.
After these last couple of weeks with cmod, i finally decided to revert back to stock Android of lg g3.
Why? Well, for one. The performance gain wasn't that great. You loose many features like the unlock screen pattern without need to swipe up first. The very good smart screen which there are apps for that but not as good. And perhaps more that i cannot recall now.
The biggest problem though were the bugs. I know i use nightly builds but come on. You need to restart the phone like very often to fix stuck camera, touch screen and more annoying bugs like the fact that phone data cannot be toggle from the profile switcher.
Anyway. For me this was more lose than gain...
I wouldn't recommend cmod12 or 12.1 nightlies over lg stock to anyone.

Completely agree. That's why i use kitkat stock based Cloudy G3.
Lot's of cached applications, no redraws, great GPS. Never short on memory. Full Xposed.
If google corrects the memory leaks bugs and LG can pull a balanced ROM (governors, mem min values, etc.) in upcoming 5.1.2, or 5.2 or M or whatever, then i might upgrade... Until then...

Where are all the ROMS?

I currently have a nexus 5 and I'm looking to upgrade. The G4 looks like a great option as it have more RAM better processor, better screen and mainly an SD SLOT!!!! I currently am getting by with 16GB which is then around 10GB usuable. My question is is this phone worth getting considering I would like a custom ROM. I'd be happy with CM12 but there doesn't look like much support, I can get this phone pretty cheap but I'm not sure as the support just doesn't seem to be here. Anyone with this phone got any advice? Look elsewhere or buy it?

I recently switched to the G4 (H811) from the S6 Edge back in October. I would consider it a good upgrade. The official CM updates are already rolled out and I've been using it as a daily driver even through the buggy (not complaining) Alpha and Beta stages. As a lot of other users have already stated, most of us considered the stock ROM good enough, especially with Marshmallow rolling out pretty soon. The only reason I switched to CM 12.1 was for the near stock look and the lag in the stock ROM. I've heard good things about the CTT MOD, eliminating lag involving thermal throttling. I used MicroMod777's debloated stock ROM. It ran smoother than stock in my experience. I'll be happy to answer anymore questions you have, given my experience with the device.

Thanks a lot. I really like this phone however I don't like stock. I am happy with CM12 though as it has all the features I use. How stable is CM? Are the bugs ironed out now? How is battery life and heat issues? What type of lag is it? Scrolling lag or gaming? I saw the mod but didn't read too much into it, also is over clocking an option via kernels?
Thank again for answering my questions, it will save me a lot of time searching the forums

CM is pretty stable so far, good enough for a daily driver. Trebuchet crashes every now and then and I've noticed some issues with the camera (besides the actual camera app, that's just AOSP camera in general). I'm not complaining, nor rushing the devs, but it's easily usable as a daily driver. To sum it up, bugs are present, but not bad. Battery life is iffy, I can get through an entire day with 2 batteries and sometimes a charge. I'd say it's around 3 hours SOT. Heat issues are way worse on the stock ROM, nothing too bad so far on CM. Lag on CM is little things like scrolling or keyboard animations, and apps crashing now and then. I haven't tried much gaming. Over clocking is possible.
if you guys use CM custom rom, which app use for camera? is the CM camera apps as good as stock to use all features of the G4 camera? or you don't care about photos, you just need other features covered by CM rom?

I think the issue is because of the bootloader and the fact that there are only 2 variants which is can be unlocked on.
I know CandySix is coming to the G4 though :good:

The other features are worth losing the camera. It's still great for regular pictures but don't expect a DSLR replacement. They're still working on getting the G4 Camera ported to the ROM.

you can use other 3rd party camera apps but you lose some features like night shot which is used by front camera as well.
also shutter time will not be more than 0.5s, stock goes up to 30s.
Its not clear to me how CM will make use of the colour sensor and laser AF. Are shots as quick to take, are they as clear.
Low light on auto ? this is buggy right now from the few samples i saw.
Whether unlocking bootloader automatically disables these features is not clear. Because if it does then its a one way process. You lose it forever.
or you don't care about photos, you just need other features covered by CM rom?

You get 3h sot on cm or stock ?
regardless you should be getting more, on stock.
3-4h on data, 4-5h on wifi. If your brightness is 25% you can add an extra hour in there. This is normal with stock and greenify.
If you can't get that then you need a reset.
I've seen very little to no benefits accruing to battery life by rooting, roms or exposed. if you must go down that route its about features.

3h SOT on CM, less on stock. That's with greenify and screen at around 30% brightness. I'm not going to complain to CM development for those numbers, but I'll try one of the debloated stock ROMs and report back after a few days. Thanks for the advice.

Looks like a ghost town to me. Compare that forum to the equivalent G3 forum, even at the current date in 2014, and it was way more lively.
With every passing day it looks more and more like the G4 has been abandoned. I guess you can't blame the devs, LG are being pricks about the bootloader.

Pretty clear there is not much to choose from and even then they seem to have bugs. This was a genuine question no need to be cocky although I'm sure it makes you feel superior.
Thanks a lot guys, it was basically a choice between the G4 or a Sony Z5 both have little support, obviously the Z5 has only just been released so it's to be expected. I'm just a little disappointed as the G4 seemed so perfect for me hardware wise vs price, plus the fact the G4 uses the 808 as opposed to the 810 which has overheating problems. The Moto X pure is looking like a possibility for this reason now. I tend to keep my phones fairly long so I need something quite stable. I think I will hold off for now until support for the phones I'm interested in grows, unless I see something really cheap in the black Friday sales
Thank you for your help everyone, I appreciate it!!

I'm in the exact same boat man, G4 looks like the perfect phone in terms of hardware but the software situation is just depressing. We'll see how things pan out once Marshmallow has made it to all G4s, but if thing don't pick up I'll have to look elsewhere.

The Moto X pure has very similar hardware to the G4, if it's within your budget I'd suggest looking there once the phone has been out awhile and gained support.

if you can't get those figures in stock then Cm can't do more.
debloated if you have a carrier rom, its not necessary otherwise.
How long you had the device ?
People that can't get beyond 3h sot need a reset. something is running more than it needs to. a reset fixes it. dont just do a plain restore after, install apps in small batches and monitor.

How long you had the device ?
People that can't get beyond 3h sot need a reset. something is running more than it needs to. a reset fixes it. dont just do a plain restore after, install apps in small batches and monitor.

Heavy usage. I got better in CM than stock. I've had the T-Mobile G4 since around late September. And yes, I need the debloated ROM because my stock H811 ROM is the carrier one. I've also noticed less lag on it with animations, particularly the keyboard pop-up ones.

Ah, then 3-4hrs of sot is normal.
was testing with youtube and speakers on max. 1 hr of youtube eats up around 27%. 3hrs of youtube like that and its recharge time.
With bluetooth it drops to 20%. Must be some more savings with wired speakers.
with screen off and just podcasts its 10%/hour.
So far the heaviest usage is recoding with 4k. Do that for 90 minutes and the battery is flat.

I'm actually not sure, I'm almost always using it. It drains around 10% over night (about 7 hours) if I forget to plug it in. That's on the CM ROM.
Bootloader is still annyoing to unlock for most models/ not possible, also this phone has so many different models.
On top of that we got from Lolipop to MM quite fast which may also be a reason for the lack of roms.
If I'd be a Dev I'd rather not put too much effort in Lolipop roms for the G4 if MM is right around the corner.
Dunno maybe it will get better now

cyanogenmod 13 vs miui 8

I made a video of a speedtest between 2 roms
In particular, the antutu benchmark

One has pretty low score and another just the same. I was expecting 170K for a custom rom as Le Pro 3 typically gets 160-166K

That's kinda telling that the stock EUI rom is not as bad as many people thinks. I am not really expecting that the custom roms will perform better that stock roms anytime soon. This requires a lot of kernel level tweaking.

I think generally, most people don't complain about stock performance, but rather the UI. I don't have much of a problem with it other than I wish I could toggle WiFi on/off and go straight back to the app I was using. But that's minor.

Umh, and stock vs unbloated stock can be interesting... These 2 ROMs are not better than the stock one. And there's no still my language (Polish).

Thanks I'll remember that. I haven't received my Le Pro 3 yet but I've been browsing the forum to find the best roms, apps, and such.

I might give the Miui ROM a chance at some point. Anyone tried both CM 13 and this ROM? I wonder which one "feels" smoother... not really worried as much about synthetic benchmarks. I know the CM ROM scores lower on that end but it seems pretty smooth otherwise. Much lower benchmark score than stock, but it feels quicker to me.

I have, maybe CM, but they're all very fast/smooth. CM typically benches lower but feels slight faster than those 2. Miui is cool but has a few errors and a.lot.of Chinese bloat/menu items etc. Had to use google installer to get play store too. Battery on miui is insanely good though, even a bit better than stock for me. Not quite as good on CM but still OK. It has pretty aggressive touch boost and no built in greenify features. I ended up going back to CM personally. There's still notification issues on miui and stock in some apps. For example, I sold an item on eBay overnight on miui... Never got a notification for it (and I love that chaching!), nor PayPal notification that the item was paid.

Thanks for the info and detailed response! Yeah, I've been pretty satisfied with CM even though it benches lower because it feels really snappy. Battery life definitely isn't as great as stock on CM but not bad at all with the huge battery. I may just stick with CM and wait for an update. That stinks that there's still notification issues with Miui.

Best G4 ROM with stock-quality Camera

I'm looking for a custom ROM which allows me to take photos with the same quality as the original G4 Camera app, without losing quality. Which one should I choose?

You're only really going to get that with one of the stock ROMs. I've been running Imperium since forever and I've never really had any problems with it.
I'm interested too because with Stock Base Roms (Imperium) I get bootloop after a few weeks. Now I'm on Cosmic OS and I'm looking for a good camera
SimpleGX rom is a great one too, no problem at all, I'm still using superSU
Also security patch is updated monthly
Motorola droid camera is good you'll have to go look for it.....

Simple ROM is almost 100% debloated I couldn't live with it I like LG ROMs for features that Simple ROM got debloated
Sent from my LG G4 using XDA Labs
Ok, so I should pick up the Simple GX ROM ? seems like it's the best solution to keep the camera quality

for best stock based.. that is genisys/imperium or simplegx. all are the same in camera... if you want alot of customazation and nougat then AOSP but lower quality on camera.. longer battery life and faster phone.

That's right that aosp nougat roms have a faster ui, but in my experience it slows down after some days of uptime (RR Tyler build).
I back at stock (imperium) for 2 months now, because of this issue.
Anyone else experienced this slow down after some time of use?
If not, which rom you are using?
Thx

true, but only with snap or google.
did you ever try my ported htc and snapdragon ? also they both fix the flashlight problem ,not hitting at the right moment.
personally i don't see any difference. The only difference is in that dam bug on the video , caused by the drivers, and we can't record a video on 1080p

Agree, snapdragon camera performs very well. I don't have any side by side comparison with stock, anyway

I always thought that imperium had the best battery Life. AOSP rom is really better? I'm talking about screen on time

sot is the same. quadra screen is crap.
you only get better standby time without the use of xposed and greenify.

stock has alot of services running. and aosp or CM have less. so yes you get more SOT. i get around 3-4 hours in stock base rom. using whats app,messenger and facebook app. and data connection.
What about ProShot on asop rom and it's quality. I have/had LP 5.1 with 100% quality jpg mod and 60fps HD 48Mpbs all the way up to 60Mbps but my andorid was being hacked so now i have to explore aosp roms with latest security patches but when i go on travel trip i want my LP with mods back. V10 camera port has no jpg 100% quality mod, but Proshot does but then again it's not LG stock framework as you guys said so it's quality it's probably still inferior. Thoughts guys ?
Dual boot sounds interesting. Any links for H811 for this?
Hey!!
I'm using lg stock lollipop rom (H815) as there's no update for my model. But my problem is that my battery lasts only 2-2.5hrs in full charge. Even if i don't use my phone, it drops by 20-25% per hour. So is there any way to make my battery life better?
