album 3 fixed

Not sure how many people have figured this out, but I thought I would share.
You will need the diamond sensor 2 (sensorsdk 4) and g-config. You will need this to remove a couple apps that don't play well rotated. Camera for one. Install these 2, and you are good to go. Hope this has helped someone.

This does not fix the auto rotation problem with Album 3. The view image still stucked at landscape regardless of the orientation. This seems to be a known problem with version 3. Anyone else confirm this?

I think this is how it is on the Topaz device also. The pictures are automatically rotated to "best fit". This is how I understood it worked.

I believe the fix is for zooming while in landscape mode, the picture will do a weird rotation while zooming. Album 3 automatically picks an orientation that best fits the picture, that is the way it was designed. I don't think that is something that could be changed.

I believe the image is clipped monentary while zooming and it returns to full screen in landscape mode. You need to enable the accelerometer to remedy to problem. Enable auto rotate from Mailina2 also worked for me.
Anyone else has any other idea?

Personal experiences

I understand that a few of you have been using the phone. My contract has ended, and I'm really thinking about getting the Optimus 2X. I have read mixed reviews regarding the phone, and really want to hear from trusted XDA users.
So any advantages, disadvantages or verdicts would be really appreciated

Swedroid.se tested the phone a week ago, Swedroid is the biggest swedish community around Android, and its the only site I trust 100%! They said that its the best Android phone ever, they have tested so far.
You can check out the huge test here: http://www.swedroid.se/test-av-lg-optimus-2x/ (Its in Swedish though)

I agree with Hund. Swedroid does the best reviews you can ever see on the internet. They know their job and they test pretty much everything.

I've had the phone for a couple of days, so here are my first impressions:
Battery: I came from a Sony Ericsson X10i and the battery is a great improvement - can't give any stats though, but have pretty much been using the phone non-stop
Screen: Awesome screen with nice vibrant colors, good viewing angles and rather fair in sunlight.
OS: Everything is smoooooooth. Except when you change stuff like usb-mode. Then the media-player looks for new transferred media, but that is expected.
HDMI mirroring works like a charm! Great to show off and good when visiting people when you want to watch a movie.
Watched a couple of tv shows on a long busride today. Just standard 350mb .avi files that worked PERFECTLY! Even subs were crystal clear!
Camera - has some bugs with the blurryness, but I haven't really used it yet. Should be solved with a software update at some point.
I think that's about it.. BEST phone I've had so far and everyone I've shown it to was impressed BLING BLING

Hey Muude.
That sound great... thanx for your words...
I'm very exited to be recieving mine soon from Ellos.dk... they are just soooooo slow...
I can't wait to start watching movies via hdmi ;-))) Nice!

Ok, th camera bug is a known problem and it seems to be a software problem.
Could someone kindly try to use another camera from the market? Maybe the results are better? Camera360 could be an alternative app.

What about gps ????

Do you use a Taskkiller like ATK or something. If you do stop using it, i had the same problems with those force-closes when using ATK. Also you have to bear in mind that it has stock 2.2.2 and most market place stuff is made for 2.2.1 .
My opinion on the LG 2x: I still can not believe it's from LG those guys really went in the right direction. I've had a BB9700 and a Galaxy S (darkys rom) and this LG really is a piece of work. The build is quite solid when compared to Samsungs Galaxy and the preformance is great. Battery live is about 130 % better then the SGS not 160 % as advertised.

This goes for Google Maps, Foursquare and CoPilot Live..
Works flawlessly and extremely fast to get a signal

It would be nice, if someone could check the quality of the camera using different settings and show us some photos

I have this phone now for 5 days.
Before I had a HTC legend.
- speed is great.
- there is a lag in the lockscreen (when you press the power button you first see your homescreen, and a second later the lock screen)
- i didnt found a option for the email of my hotmail account to delete te messages from the server.
-I cant add wordt to my dictionary when typing a message.
- had several crashes while doing just nothing (scrolling through menus or something)
- a lot of programs start up by themself. and the advanced task killer is not automaticly closing it even when i put the setting on kill when screen is off.
overall a good phone, but it doesnt feel just that right like a HTC.

can anyone say something about multitouch on 2x? in a video i saw its capable to handle 10 points but more interesting would be if its now possible to pinch to zoom and move at a time.
e.g.: in browser you zoom in on a webpage and whlie zooming you move the centre of zooming to an other point like the upper right corner and it zooms to the new centre. ive seen this on windows phone and ios but android so far.

How do you set up your hotmail? I haven't been able to do that. On my X10i, when i deleted the messages of my phone, it didn't affect the server either, so maybe that's just they way android is set up.
The standard keyboard is pretty lacking in terms of features..
The random things you experience with programs could be due to the fact that you are using a task killer.. They only cause problems imo.

It does do this, but I don't see the functional purpose of this Screen isnt giant and I have enough strength in my fingers to lift them off the screen, pinch and then replace them to another area

Make apps work in both landscape positions?

Im using an LG G-Slate but since there is no G-Slate forum here and the Xoom is the most popular ill ask here. Is there a way to get apps to work in both landscape positions? As in, the landscape where the front camera is ontop and the landscape where it is on the bottom. I know iPad apps all do this, which makes folio cases great because you can have different angles using different positions and still see the app, but there are very few Android phone/tablet apps that do aside from google books, gmail and the like. Im thinking this may be an in-app thing but if it is possible to do from the tablets setting or something that would be great!
Prime examples of apps that do not work in both landscape positions: all angry birds apps, distraction, bakery/restraunt story, NETFLIX
netflix and angry birds are the two that i would like to see working the most
Thanks in advance!

This has been affecting me as well. I've search a couple times since I've had my xoom but I have never found a solution. The case I have forces me to use the xoom upside down (with the camera at the bottom) if I want to use it to type on a desk. Otherwise, it sits upright for video playing. If there is a way to force an application to always be landscape-upside-down, that would be perfect. I doubt there is such a solution, though. The app that is the most furious for me is the new Dolphin Pad app. The browser itself works in either position, rightside up or upside down, but when you select the settings menu, it forces it to be rightside up. I have tried setting the screen to auto-rotate as well as locking the screen in only upside-down. Unfortunately those couple applications always force the screen to be rightside up no matter what. Almost always it does it with applications that were designed for the phone. Most tablet applications work either way.

I was asking precisely because i have a case coming in the mail that forces me to do the same thing. Its pretty irritating that ill have to hold onto the tablet to type because at the vert. Angle its too high to type. Or i can use a bluetooth keyboard but thats a hassle. And for airplanes and cramped spaces itd be nice to have the low-angle option to watch videos

I never noticed this until now... was reading this thread in dolphin "upside down" just fine, but like you it forced me to flip to get into settings... all other functionality seems OK, so my guess is it is an app Dev fix and not a zoom fix. I haven't noticed this in other apps' but will test a few tonight for the OP and report back.

For me, it's mostly games that force me to turn the xoom around. It also happens with every single poker application I download. Like they are all conspiring against me.

Playing angry birds on a high angle would be difficult... its much better suited for a low angle. It works that way on ipad, why not android?

Anyone have any info? Now that i have the case thr number of apps that work seems even smaller than before...
Sent from HTC Glacier

When I wrote my game for a moment it worked in both landscape positions but then I broke it somehow. I think it is caused by using "landscape" instead of "horizontal" in layout or sth. Will be trying to fix it next week. But it also shows that it depends on the developer unfortunately. So you have to bugger him for every app that doesn't support it.

Man... i doubt any developer would listen to a single person asking for something like that haha it seems like too small an issue for many people to care

Daydream Photos...

Hi,
I was using daydream back then in my N5 days, with letting that great thing showing me my pictures, while it did rest on the qi charger on my desk.
Now I was away from Nexus for a while, but returned recently with a N6, which is already running Marshmallow now. And here start my questions regarding photos on daydream...(clock, colours and news work without any issues)
1. when choosing photos and going into the settings, I cannot check the camera folder. well, i can check it, but when i go out of the settings and back in, the check box is empty again. All other possible choices work without problems, so I can chosse the Twitter folder, screenshots and others...they all do their job, only the camera folder is not working
Any ideas what the problem is?
2. when I was showing my photos on the N5, the pictures appeared somehow like thumbnails, in little frames and got stacked on the screen. You even were able to touch one and maximize to watch it...and you were able to swipe photos out of the screen. That was nice. Now, the photos are just shown fullscreen and as soon as you touch it, daydream stops and you land on the homescreen. Was this changed in 6.0, or maybe even sooner, or do I have a problem with my daydream?
Thanks for any hint, or just telling me, that this is the status quo with daydream and I have to deal with it...hopefully not!
Best regards
P.

really, nobody using daydream?! trying to push that once more...

Cine Shot (Partial Motion Still Photos) working on LG V30 - APP link & Instructions.

Cine Shot (Partial Motion Still Photos) working on LG V30 - APP link & Instructions.
Hey all, been a while since I've had any new discoveries because I have been busy with a move across the country, but I think this one was worth waiting for :good:
This post is a tough one to categorize, as its an "app" and its a "mod" but I also needed to include a little guide to help you all get it working. So I went with the Apps and Mods section, but if an Admin thinks this should go in the Guides section, I am totally cool with that.
Pre Install Notes:
This has been tested on my Rooted & Frankensteined LG V30 ThinQ LS-L998 on Sprint running US99827a software Security Patch Jan 1.19.
I do not know if this will work on non rooted devices simply because I haven't been able to test it on one. I do believe that this will work the same on a non-root V30 but I'll wait for confirmation from one of you... SOOOO if you have a non rooted device and you try this out, please let us know if its working.
Thank Yous:
A big thanks to @trouble. for requesting the G8 stock system apps in the G8 section & thanks to @iknow786 for originally providing the files which I used to make the link to the cineshot app below. If I did not happen across that thread we wouldn't have this new trick, so thank you both. Also a big thanks to all of the awesome folks that have kept the V30 development alive and kicking this long into the devices lifecycle. Very cool to see so many talented people still doing things for this community every single day. I cant begin to list everyone, but if you are active in here, you know who the folks are that have been grinding away at this all this time.
Ok so lets get you CineShooting!
Step 1) Go to the following link...
https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1Pxy8B1k19Q8ALiHc1FeYUHb3c8y4DnJI
Steo 1a) Download, and install the CineShot apk.
(Im hosting this on one of my drives, so if anyone has issues with the download, now or months from now, PM me and I'll fix it. If its a while from now and you just write "dead link" in this thread I prob won't see it, so that's why I am recommending a PM. )
(Since I have not yet figured out how to integrate this new app into our camera app, you will need to launch the CineShot main process using one of the programs I will mention in step 2. I am including some screenshots for those new to this. Hopefully this post will be updated in the future with how to integrate the cineshot capabilities into the regular camera section, but for now this is what we have)
Step 2) Once you have installed the CineShot apk to your device you will need a shortcut maker program to access it.
Personally I am partial to Shortcut Master, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.shortcutmaster.lite&hl=en but other apps like "QuicksShortcutMaker" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sika524.android.quickshortcut&hl=en_US (tested and works) should word as well. So if you don't already have one, download one of those two or your own favorite.
Step 2a) Open your shortcut program and find CineShot by either scrolling to it or searching "Cine" or "CineShot". No matter which program you used you should see at least one option under the CineShot app ending with the words ".MainActivity ". Go ahead and favorite or create shortcut for this process, as you'll want to have a quick way to get back to CineShot mode. Now go ahead and click that option and your device should launch into cineshot mode.
Cine Shot Mode - How-To:
Pretty basic stuff here. Point and shoot at whatever you want (objects should be moving in your frame otherwise your just taking a normal picture). It will record 3 seconds. After it stabilizes your "video" it will then show you options to draw with your finger on the moving parts of the images that you still want to move. Do this, and then save. You now have a cineshot image with partial movement of the image.
That's it. Pretty easy stuff. If you followed the very simple steps you should be able to record using either your front or back camera, and cineshot should be fully working, or at least as fully as it can on our devices. Enjoy.
I don't have any fun stuff nearby to post a good example of a cool Cine Shot Pic, so if you guys and gals take any, please share so people can see what the fuss is about.
And as always, feel free to share the love with a click on that "Thanks" button if this post helped you out

*** Reserved for future post - updates ***

Side Note: From that same cache of G8 apks, I was able to get the My Avatar app partially working using the same steps as above but with that specific APK obviously. Unfortunately, while it will take my picture, it will not spit out an avatar, so some sort of framework or back end stuff is not enabled. Anyone that has access to the newer devices with this, if you can find the additional necessary files, we could prob get this working too.
Anyone interested in checking out the G8 stock apps in the original thread I mentioned above can find that thread here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g8/themes/lg-g8-preinstalled-apps-t3904050
Other apps that I got to install from the g8 are these: Humanavatar (My Avatar) LGContentsettings (Wallpaper and Theme. Not sure what this updates though) and an update to the Tasks app.
Be cautious installing things you don't know anything about. As always, its your phone, so beware, and there are no guarantees yada yada yada.

It doesn't integrate with the camera because only camera apps built for pie onwards have that functionality. Once enabled in camera config files it crashes the camera app immediately.

Any idea why it crashes it? I mean other than it wasnt meant to work. Since the actual mode is functional I wonder if anything is actually missing in the Oreos framework/camera that needs to be there.

Gotcha. That makes sense.
I'm glad you commented, as I was going to message you to ask your opinion on the My Avatar creation feature I mentioned after the original post. I can get it to snap a pic of my face, and it recognize I'm a person and takes the pic, but when it goes to process and spit out an Avatar it fails.
Since you're a good bit more advanced than I am, maybe you had an idea about what's keeping it from working.
