Hi i loved LG G4 and that it had LG V10 camera ported to it.
Now i understand that different brand and all but is there a way to port LG V10 camera to HTC phone?
Im mainly looking at manual exposure in video mode because even after all these years HTC video recording is terrible because of framerate.
Whenever i record video in lowish light i get like 20 fps video looks terrible and laggy even tho sensor on this phone is big and can do stable 30fps in low light with a little higher iso because i also have LG V10 with smaller sensor and higher resolution which means much smaller pixel and in manual mode in same scene i put video exposure time at 1/30th or even 1/60th with iso at 600 and i get little noise while being buttery smooth.
Now this has been issue with HTC from OG days and is there a mod or port that i dont know about that can let me control exposure in video mode and i dont mind separate app for that since im using gcam for photos and get some of the best pictures ive ever seen on smartphone,even compared to latest smartphones its in top 3 definitely.
Now back to video,ive seen snapdragon camera and other,none of them does anything to video framerate.
Is there a way to set lowest exposure to 1/30th so that phone does not drop framerate do raise exposure and lower iso.
I personally dont mind grainy video in lower light but man recording campfire i dont need nightvision but for some reason phone tries so hard that it blows highlights and gets laggy as hell.
Some config mods,api mods,apk mods anything to adress this issue,i would be alfa tester for some mods if anyone has time to tinker with it,im more of hardware guy,repairing phones and modding cooling,thermal paste and pads mod,etc.
Software? Not my kind of skill.
So if someone else has some advice or existing mod i havent seen yet let me know i would gladly try it.
Sorry for typos or mistakes typing this on a phone without auto correction
Cheers and thanks in advance

Highly doubt anyone is willing to put in the work to port an LG camera app at this stage of the 10 (2015 flagship) but I cannot speak for others.
I also don't really use my camera outside normal shots so I don't have good experience with vid framerate, etc.
I will suggest that you try out the Google camera ports if you haven't already.
I have tried gcam for video but its terrible compared to stock,in gcam video recording i get stuttering an what not.
I know old phone custom development is over.
Also how it that there is no some universal camera that can use those core features available on other phones.
Unless LG uses some sort of asic for camera but i doubt it since LG V10 camera can be ported on other LG phones like G4.

Sorry wish could help more.
Gcam is the best ull see for non-sense ROMs.
There's many ports and settings you've played with that? Like changing from nexus to pixel.

I have tried other mods and setting but in any case when i pan camera its stuttery on gcam and didnt try gcam in low light tho.
Only thing i need basically is ti limit minimum fps to 30 because it drops to 20 or so in low light and panning from lets say bright window to darker room suddenly video looks blurry and smeared because of shutter speed.
Im on custom rom Leedroid using Elementalx kernel not overcloked or underclocked.
Any ideas what to try,its not professional camera i know and i dont shoot movies with infact i dont shoot maybe 2 times a week short video and i eork ina gaming club where light is dimm and sometimes some promo video needs to be recorded for social media and it looks terrible and overexposed even tho ist dark cause camera is launching shutter speed into the sky to make up for low light.
I used professional camera in full manual mode to record conferences and things like that and shutter speed half of frame time like 30 fps max exposure 1/30th but you put it to 1/60th to make video look smooth as,and only change ISO and aperture to change how bright shot is.
In any case any kernel api config profilesxml file to change that because i have LG V10 and with that things manual camera i can do wonders for video cause at the end of the day best camera is the one that you have with you all the time,amarite?
Thanks for the answer tho u will try some other ports and test just in case i missed something.
I only used apk ports,do i need flashable zip for better and more stable ports?
Any android camera experts out there feel free to add some smart teach heavy solutions.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
Looking now at gcam video it is less smeary but when recording starts it hicups every second or so.
Any setting to change in dev settings of camera?
And sorry for typos in ally posts i type on the go without autocorrect,what can i say i live my life dangerously

Not the guy to ask.
Maybe one of these threads after a quick search.
Could be better threads, but thb I've probably used this camera like 30 times max since May/2015 lol so safe to say I don't take many pictures or vie.
Hope this helps.

Is it me is does this low light sensor really temperamental?
Right now I'm trying to get it to activate in a low light room using the video camera and still, but nothing seems to be happening
When I first got the Arc it was running 3 network branded software, and I'm sure it worked then when I tried it out, but since I've flashed the global generic it takes pictures like any other camera in the dark (not very well)
Something sure is that the Arc is the best photo phone in low light condition i never had.
Remember with other phone, when light is not high, it's very difficult to focus because the image move very slowly (i don't know how to explain...).
It's not a useless gadget it's sure.
You really have to use all the options the camera app has to offer. Meaning focus modes, scenes, light sensivity and so. If you do so, the results will be very good. Video is a little easier because there is a very strong algorythm to prevent noise. Unfortunately it will also reduce sharpness quite a lot.
can i get 720p recording at 30fps on desire
i m tired of this **** never gives above 10-15 fps
in day time in bright light it might give 20-24fps....but still audio is out of sync and **** like tht
i know desire reduces frame rate to prevent picture from turning grainyin low light especially at night.
even under bright tubelights i get 10fps nothing more than that.
also light constantly keeps on flickering...the light sensors further reduce the frame rate
bad thing is that even after 1.5 yrs after the release of desire....HTC didnt do anything to fix this in the gingerbread
i have tried stuff like setting ISO to 800 and increasing exposure levels to increase fps but still its not good enough
some of th expert developers out here have been able to do the impossible and bring stuff on the desire which is unbelievable...
but i seem to find no one who has been able to fix the camera on desire...
plz guys look into this....
can the camera app be tweaked to make it record at constant 30fps...
can the variable fps be fixed .
i dont care if quality drops or not....coz who cares if u get quality which is not watching
i dont mind grainy images but i want 30fps....can the developers do some tweaking/??coz i know the hardware is there to handle
do this:
-change the desire camera with a better one
-change the desire gpu with a better one
-write the correct drivers and kernel to handle the news parts
and thats it...
or just keep in mind this phone is not capable to make great hd video.
so u say its a hardware problem????
also is the hardware on other HTC phones like sensation and desire S the same???
I heard these phones also suffer from same bad fps in low light problem
Desire S - has Newer SoC, Single 1Ghz CPU, but Adreno 205 GPU - it makes very good 720p videos, but with lower FPS (but not below 23 in low light) - My roommate has it and it is miles better, than my Desire.
The Sensation has even newer SoC - Dual-core 1.2 GHz and Adreno 220 GPU - I tested my collegues device, and it had no struggles even with 1080p in low light.
that you have an hardware problem is my opinion, too

Like everyone with this device.
so is it worth upgrading???
i am looking forward to HTC amaze...
I hope it doesnt suffer from lower fps problem
(also fps not lower than 23fps in low light does not sound bad)
now i am confused whether I should go for droid RAZR,galaxy S2 or galaxy nexus...
i liked HTC for HTC sense...now with all these devices receiving Ice cream sandwich....
i am thinking UI will be same for all....so confused
You can try the recording on cyanogenmod 7. I think the 720p framerate is a bit better.
Hola everyone.
So got my HOX last Friday, and been loving my phone. However, I decided to test the video recording capabilities.
I went to a nearby starbucks and just randomly recorded people passing by and I do notice slight jittering sometimes. So I decided to check the framerate with MX Player.
To my surprise, it says 1920x1080 @ 60fps! (well 59.xxxxx). Granted, it was a really well lit starbucks but even then.. I remember the camera only being able to record at 30fps?
Then I came back, and I'm in my room now and it's 7.30pm. So I decided to try again. I pointed my camera at my room light and started recording. I focused on the light so everything surrounding the light is just pitch black. This way I can get higher fps (light is way bright, hence faster shutter speed, theoretically more fps).
Then I checked and it shows @ 30fps? @[email protected]
I recorded another video, this time at a pitch black pc monitor. Fps dropped to an expected 14.xx fps.
Is the HOX camera really capable of recording [email protected] if it's bright enough? I don't know but that's what the file properties is telling me. Anyone experience the inconsistent to sometimes record at 30fps and sometimes at 60fps?
No one has experienced this? >.<
nope
i see min 6mbps, max10mbps and fps between 19 (yes, even in daylight!) and 29
in the evening (lowlight outside) i get 14 fps
the quality is really good though (lighting and noise wise) but the bitrate sucks.
fps is a tradeoff with exposure though in lowlight.
Hmm, then I'm not sure why I see some of my recorded videos showing at 60fps. Will record more in daylight tomorrow and will do more analysis.
That's maybe a tegra3 issue. Tegra2 has the same issue. Let's see AT&T version with Krait processor...
I can vouch for this, I also saw it on a couple of videos and I was just as surprised, I assumed it was a software glitch.
Will try to take a picture of it if stumble upon it again.
I've never been able to reproduce 60fps again after I created this thread... >.<

Do you still have a 60 fps video? Can you upload one?
Could it be possible that you accidentally recorded a slowmo 60 fps video instead of a normal one?
i think only the htc video player will play these in slowmo and others might call it 60 fps vids,
also bs player showed me two movies at a ridiculous frame rate of 1800+ fps hence why it could not use the svp plugin on it to double the frame rate...
of course that mp classic showed it as 24 fps and was capable of using the svp on it.
could be a video analasys glitch by mx player.
and yet video is jittery on the hox. on aosp too.
the overall video is smooth but with little stutters.
This thread is to resolve all common issues with the camera on the LG G3 and to assist people in knowing how to use specific features to get the most out of the camera software.
Any interesting points raised will be added to the OP. I will try to split it into sections where relevant to make it easier to find what you are looking for.
GENERAL
How to access camera when screen is off
Hold the volume down key
Touch to take picture is not working?
Make sure the menu is not open (three dots in top right hand corner)
SPECIFIC FEATURES
* To be finished soon.*
The user needs to enable the shortcut for the volume down in the accessibility menu.

Camera laser beam
Is the laser beam really harmful to our eyes? Its pretty annoying when laser beam keeps blicking into eyes of people that I take photo

Are you being sarcastic? If not its an IR laser so think of a TV remote, which I seriously doubt we'll cause any ill effects.

Does root and rom affect the camera quality, as it does on the Sony phones?

What are the lighting conditions like when you're trying to take a picture? Generally if you're not outdoors and/or in bright light, then the perceived shutter speed can increase due to the lack of manual controls.

Where are your photos being stored, internal storage or an external SD card? These could have an impact on how quickly photos are saved and possibly delay capture. Is your selected storage device getting full or in the case of a SD card, is it a good quality card (what brand, what class etc.)?

as i said i just unroot my device and i save my photo internally my device is currently clean now without any files just the stock apps....
Hi,
While playing with the LG G3's HDR mode turned on, I realized that it takes only one photo. Should it not take multiple(two to three) photos at different exposures(high and low) and then combine those into one?
Thanks!

It does take few shots with different exposures, it just does it relatively fast and the outcome is 1 photo. LG has done pretty good job with HDR if you ask me.

Perhaps the laser focus comes into play and things happen super quick!!! :cyclops:
