what should i do?
Impossible.
I have tried htc 10 camera port, snap camera hdr, google camera. They are all the same. The best alternative is lg g2 camera port. You can see the difference in low light conditions.

You have to downgrade your display resolution to 1920x1080 @ 420 dpi.

LG didn't release the sources.
Why there is LG G2 camera ported (without certain features, but it is), and there aren't any g3 camera port :/

Because G2 has a full hd display and this app comes from it.
If you run it on a qhd display like the G3 one you wiil encounter an incorrect visualization.
It's easy to change the resolution and dpi
using terminal emulator,if the phone is rooted

Easy DPI Changer works as well, and it is best to use lg g3 on 1080p res makes the phone much more fast and stable.
Hi, I also miss the superior quality of camera from stock ROM. I was trying to follow some tutorials on porting vendor apps to AOSP (getting the camera apk file, some libraries, framework files and permission files and compiling them all together), but it never worked with the camera. Sadly, I'm pretty sure that if it was possible, somebody smarter would have already done it. With LG being jerks and not releasing the sources, we most likely won't get the stock camera on AOSP, ever. That being said, I can think of four possible ways of dealing with the situation.
First, use stock ROM only. Yes, I know, that sucks. Or stock based ROM such as Fulmics, if you really think there is a difference between these two.
Second option is multirom. I was using it for last few months with LineageOS as primary and stock as secondary ROM, and everytime when I knew I would be taking some photos (when I went to concerts/holidays/celebrations/some unusual stuff), I booted to stock ROM and was good to go.
Third option is to have a TWRP backup of your current system and of stock ROM and restoring the backup of the ROM you want to use (AOSP for daily usage, stock for the days you know you'll be using your camera a lot). The previous (multirom) option is faster and easier to manage, and you can always add new ROMs and experiment as you wish. However, it requieres a custom recovery and I wasn't able to pass SafetyNet test with multirom and LineageOS with Magisk. Also, multirom makes a little bit of a mess at your /system partition. This third option (backing up/restoring system in TWRP) takes longer, the backups are large, but I'm liking that a bit more for some reason - it feels "cleaner" and more transparent to me.
The last option is to be on AOSP and use a camera app of your choice which you find has the best quality. I was experimenting with this a lot and tried dozens of camera apps (including the LG G2 camera port). Honestly, most of the photos were about the same quality. Even the G2 camera wasn't better than the rest I tested. I also compared the test pictures to stock camera (yes, I took the time to reboot to my secondary ROM for every test I was making at that time) and I was very sad that nothing was close to the stock camera quality. LG really does some magical post processing which works like a charm and looks really good. Anyways, after the tests I decided to stick with Snap Camera HDR. It has a trial and a paid version on the Play Store, in case you want to give it a shot. At good light conditions, the photos are actually comparable to stock camera. There is tons of settings to play with. It has a special "LG mode", which actually works even on AOSP ROMs and enables some LG specific features. It can also record 4K videos with stabilization. If you give it a try and really look into the settings (I recommend going also to the developer's website, where every option in the settings is described), you might end up with decent stock camera replacement. It took me about an hour to go through all the settings, but I'm fairly satisfied with the photos now. Although it has been last updated almost a year ago on the Play Store, there is a much more recent beta version here on the xda forums.
tl;dr I believe that porting stock camera app to AOSP is impossible. If you want stock camera quality, you really have to use stock ROM one way or another (either be on stock, or have a stock ROM TWRP backup and restore it whenever you want to take a good photo, or use multirom to switch your current ROM more quickly). If you want to use AOSP exclusively, I recommend Snap Camera HDR.

There's another option similar (or not) to multirom:
For installing multiple ROMs I use DualBootPatcher, a great method devised originally for the SGS4, but available for a number of devices now, including our G3. I highly recommend it, it seems cleaner than multirom to me and more user friendly. It is possible to flash ROMs from within the app (they have to be patched first, this also happens inside the app, hence the name), backup, restore and more. There may be some hiccups now and then, but all in all it works smoothly.
Just search the LG G3 forums for DualBootPatcher, there's a thread with download links, description and how-to.

Snap Camera would look good on good light conditions but the actual problem starts with low light, Snap camera adds too much noise on photos compared to LG Camera Port, LG camera port is also great on good light conditions. Any camera app can seem close to stock on good light but real comparison should be made on low light. None of them is comparable to stock LG G3 camera of course, i think laser autofocus and object tracking don't work in any of them.
Check my comparison below(On Snap Camera, LG mode and noise reduction enabled):

Try Footej Camera

Just wondering if anyone has figured out why the camera on aosp Roms focuses for some and not for others. I've had the problem right from the very first aosp flash I did. Maybe a full data wipe and adb side load would help? I know there's a script work around but it doesn't make sense that it works for some and not others. Not to me anyways. But great job on the Roms. Really liking them and thanks.

The problem exist because of the differences in the Nexus 4 camera and the one in our phone. Because LG hasn't released open source drivers for our phone's camera (and/or doesn't see the monetary benefit in supporting 3rd party development) LGOG developers appear to be stuck using and trying to adapt the software from the Nexus 4. The camera will focus during the first launch of the camera apk then be unable to focus until the process is killed completely and restarted.
Those who are reporting that their camera works just fine in an AOSP ROM are one of the following: Those who have applied the kill / relaunch script, those who only tested their camera on first launch, or those who are so accustomed to crappy phone cameras that they consider anything greater than a completely blurry mess to be "in focus."
I often wondered if it was really working for some. But thanks for the info and I guess I will just try to stay patient. Hopefully there is an improvement soon. The camera takes great photos on lifeless but I really like the aosp Roms.
Hello are there any more kit kat roms for E975, apart from CM11 and houstonn's aosp?
currently i am using houstonn's aosp
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47061171&postcount=1
it is working flawlessly. but some camera issues. compared to newer phones the optimus g's 13mp camera is a bit crappy, but after the aosp rom yesterday it has gone from "ok" to looking like a 2mp feature phone i am serious. it is such a shame that i might have to go back to stock just because of it, but everything else is perfect: responsiveness, speed, battery life (appears to be longer now but need a few days to know).
also this is really weird the display appears to have changed its color profile dramatically, stock lg was cold color hues, but after the rom it is more saturated almost like amoled.

the outcome is near-perfect, no huge issues. maybe drains battery a bit faster than aosp, and upon boot there is always a popup saying that the
calendar has closed.
the camera focus is pretty much fixed, and i think the picture quality is comparable to stock, but the camera app itself sometimes closes.
the volume buttons are backwards
rocket player's widget don't display the track and pic of song playing
can't get dashclock to work
does anyone know how to use stock roms' apks? i tried to use the camera app ripped from G2 stock rom, but it seems to be a more complicated matter, not as easy as copying and running a ripped apk. i would like to use the stock LG music app, its pretty good you can delete tracks from the phone in the playlist view. most players just let you delete tracks from playlist but not from phone.

If i'm not wrong, if u want to use stock apps u must find ported apps for CM11, and if u want try Mokee with their kernel, it battery friendly and it's damn stable.

Did you try Commotio? It's a slightly different version of Vanir. I am using it as my Main Rom for daily use and I am very satisfied until now.
Though I have no experience with houstonn's aosp Rom.

well it depends on how you use it, i think mokee battery life is not great but still better than stock. there is only so much you can do with 2100mah, and i think ips panels just use more battery.
a few days ago i put in the f93 kernel by houstonn but it didn't work.
so i put in the next nightly but i lost 13mp camera, only 8 mp now (but at least auto-focus is functioning)... think i downloaded the wrong one
there is also some baidu and their own mokee market, you cannot uninstall it. but it is fair, as they have the right to administer their work the way they see fit.
Can anyone dry on kitkat rom droidcam app (make your phone in to webcamera with USB cable)). I've tried in every kitkat rom, and the wideo is not ok. Maybe it's only my problem?
Hey guys I'm a little sad :/
As many of you would know G3 camera support on AOSP is in a really poor condition.
The driver made by LG isn't present on AOSP, making it an utter disappointment after you get over the thrilling speed compared to LG's own rom.
I know the G2 camera has been ported, I also found a post requesting a port for G3 (last response in october), but that didn't happen.
I don't know in detail how hard the problem is, but I imagine that it should be doable unless of course this is completely proprietary code by LG.
I am imagining that you could simply move the right apk's to the phone and try out if something will work, unless of course it is in the LG kernel itself, but then maybe an LG kernel could be used with AOSP, who knows.
The guy who is working on LG XCam for both the G2 and G3 already said he will focus on LG's own roms, so that a no go as well. I have really been looking, but nothing seems to be up.
So is anyone working on this and does anyone know in detail how hard it is to solve?
Coming from Nexus 5 with SlimKat on it, LG G3 seems like the slowest thing known to man, haha, so AOSP is a must, preferably with a good camera as well.
1 moving some files wil not work start by understanding how a total framework works.
2 ya you can do kernel but do you know how it works with driver and app .
3 if you love the cam so mutch why not build a rom with lg framework ?

1. I don't think the whole framework needs to be understood to port the functionality of the camera
2. No I don't, but I think the kernel is actually containing the driver, if I understand how a Linux Kernel works, but I could be wrong, since I don't know for sure on Android. Furthermore I was thinking both (parts of) the kernel and camera app could be applied to AOSP.
3. It's not the camera app or LG framework, it's the fact that the camera does not work properly on AOSP. I don't care about settings, GUI or functionality, but it simply performs like a phone from 5 years ago with 15 fps video and poor colors and constrast in images.
I flashed my G3 to have the latest (when I flashed it) CyanogenMod (Version: 12.1-20151023-NIGHTLY-d851 ). Since then, I've been loving my G3. However, I'm having some problems with the camera. I've tried the default camera app CM uses, and then with OpenCamera. My pictures are just generally very low-quality compared to stock Android.
I've tried: Bumping up the image quality in Open Camera's settings. (settings -> photo settings -> Image Quality)
Waiting longer for the camera to focus.
Double and triple-checking the resolution. (Images are correct resolution, but are blotchy and/or fuzzy.)
It doesn't seem to be any of those, but I'm fairly new to the Android crowd.
I will provide photos for comparison, but not of the same object. (I haven't taken photos of much more than my cat, so bear with me.) Both before and after installing CyanogenMod, pictures of my cat turn out lower-quality than of other things. This may be because of a noise algorithm that has issues with fur, but what do I know? Seriously, I'm super new.
Here's an Imgur album (Two pictures): imgur (dot) com /a/AxAhT
I know Imgur compresses images or whatever, but the difference is pretty clear. I couldn't find anything else I had taken pictures both before and after installing CyanogenMod. I have a picture of gummy worms from before, but that doesn't help without an after.
Any other relevant questions, I can probably answer.
Go on apk mirror and search CyanogenMod camera (the one plus one ) it works perfect (good quality ) after try flashing Androidcid-MOD-G3_20150511_V11-SPARTAN.zip and choose your aroma.
From what I understand stock camera is better because of proprietary files that are not present in CM. So if camera quality is a priority, stock is the way to go. I love CM Official, but I'm trying out stock based roms for this reason.

This makes a lot of sense, actually. Camera quality isn't a huge priority. I rarely use it, and am going to get a GoPro fairly soon. I just wasn't sure what was causing the issue. I love CM too much to give it up for better quality photos.
Semi on-topic: With this Nightly build of CM, my phone seems to shut down at random (though fairly rarely), and become unresponsive. I have to remove the battery and re-insert it before I'm able to power on my phone. This didn't happen with stock Android, so I'm fairly certain it's a CM thing. Is it that the Nightlies are generally unstable? Is there a stable version I can switch to?
Would I be able to copy my current 'data' folder (apps and their sign-in info, as far as I can tell) to the stable CM version and cut out all the extra setup time of re-downloading and signing into my apps?
I have a love/hate relationship with CM. On one hand it's buttery smooth when it works, but frequent (for me) random reboots kill it. They always seem to happen at the most inopportune times. I haven't been able to find an AOSP rom that doesn't have this symptom either.

Heollo guys,
as I still own a SGS4mini (i9195), that was running on KitKat, I wanted to improve it a bit.
THerefore, I flashed lineage-13.0-20170318-nightly-serranoltexx-signed.zip.
Basically, most of the things are running fine (as long as you don't use the SD card as internal storage). But a major topic is the camera. The focus is always pumping around and very often just does exactly the wrong thing when the picture gets taken - thus resulting in a lot of blurry pictures.
Do you know some workaround for this?
Thanks,
Matthias
You can try the unofficial LOS 14.1 here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga.../rom-cyanogenmod-14-0-s4-mini-3g-lte-t3471761
Even tho it is still listed as [TEST], the ROM had been stable as daily driver for me, and camera works for me. <Tap to set focus works. The S4 has a pretty crappy camera compared to current gen phones, I get lots of motion blurring / artifacts in low light.>
You may also try a different camera app for more control options, although I found stock is pretty good for me.
