I really like my Optimus 2x except for its camera. I heard SII has a very nice camera. I found a website selling the SII camera module for $10. I am wondering is it possible to replace the 2X's camera with SII's camera?
Two camera modules looks very similar

Optimus 2x disassembly(doesn't look that hard)

Dude, have you tried to take the back cover off, and then take a picture?
I never doubt that sgs2 has a better camera than o2x. But even if you somehow magically manage to attach the sgs2 camera on o2x board, there is still the issue of drivers needed to make the camera work. It's too much hassle and the chances someone can pull it of flawlessly imho is very slim.
Just sharing my 2cents
this thread is useless. implementing that module is impossible. (by your standarts, because clearly you dont understand the complexity behind this)
o2x camera is great imo. a little slow, but really good anyway.

I still think it is possible since some cell phones use the same camera modules. For example Galaxy SII and MyTouch 4G Slide both use Sony IMX105 camera module.

The O2x's camera module is clearly different though, as you've pointed out. -.-'
Just get a small camera, with a decent optical pop-out lense. Will like be much better. As mentioned try removing the rear cover, if that sorts you pictures out, then you can modify the back cover to be without the plastic covering it.
You could also install andy's-cp camera mod. It made my camera almost perfect. Went from pretty good to awesome. You'll find it in apps and themes

Check this out, this will give us a front facing camera in a snap. Has anyone tried one of these for the Incredible? My concern is the clip... it looks like it's designed for iPhones so I don't know if it would work on an Incredible.

If you've tried one of these on an Incredible (or know someone that has), please write back and let me know if it works. Thanks!
you would have to modify it to work. our camera isnt mounted in the same place as the iphone.

You're right; it's pretty close though:
I was thinking of taking the plunge and buying one just to see, but was hoping someone else on here already did. Bump for hope?

looking at the amazon site it looks like you could do it. idk the thickness difference from our phones to the iphone so i dont know how well it would clip on.
I don't think it woudl stay on. It looks like that one clips onto the iphone by the earpiece and the contoured back - our phone has the earpiece in a different spot and the back isn't curved it's just different levels. Might take some modifying.
Updated to MIUI 1.5.6 tonight that bring gtalk voice and video chat. Im going to buy it in at the end of the month. Ill let everyone know how it goes.
Haha as if using video chat in public wasn't weird enough.

Awesome, thanks for taking the plunge! Looking forward to your results.
That doesnt look like it would fit, and an eye sore to boot.
Has anyone tried this yet on our phone?
It seems like you lose the main camera but gain a front facing camera with the same megapixel camera on the phone.
Hi Guys,
I am planning to get optimus black soon. I will really appreciate if you guys can post pics taken with your optimus black.
Thanks in Advance.

Just a random shot.
The camera produces very usable images and i'm an amateur photographer with a Canon 5D.
yes, just a ratio problem with 720p video, but picture are good (for a smartphone)

Thanks for sharing pics buddy. Looks really good. What about pics in low light conditions.
I think if you play captured video in quick time thr is no issue with it and to me it seems software issue which can be easily fixed in next update (hopefully LG do that).
Low light quality is just like every other small sensor phone camera, mostly crap. With an imaging sensor so small, you will not get close to real camera quality anytime soon.
I think the camera in the Black is just the average smartphone quality. There might be slightly better ones and slightly worse, but it's still just a smartphone.

The camera360 pics look better and more colourful to me. Maybe I should try it too !
Awesome, I had my first opportunity to use Camera 360 today, I jacked up the image resolution, zoomed in as much as I could and took a shot looking out the 4th floor window of a dropbox.com office here in SF. I was impressed.

Backcover on or off?

Backcover on. Personally I don't see any difference with backcover on or off.
you can try HDR camera+, if you want to sompare with Camera 360
I use from a long time the camera 360 con la option of hdr light and i am very satisfied. The picture with the camera original of optimus is very week seems like no have color but with the 360 the picture looks like wonderful picture. Yesterday i founded a new camera software even better then all the soft of camera and named U-cam. Try it.
Looks really nice. I made some tests some time ago but i didn't see any big difference.
I'm gonna try camera 360 again!
Optical sensor is quite good, made by Sony. But also we have second "glass" on back cover, which can get dirty inside and out. Then at the end I think software is to be blamed about most of the bad results, even though we have some options that other can dream of. Like panorama mode or even simple flash for photos
But lousy brightness and white balance on auto mode can ruin all that. Can be fixed by manual setting which is is pain in the ass, but there are software fixes for later.
Every photo editor has it. Paint.NET has "auto-level" under Adjustments for easy fixing, but I do it with Picasa. Use it for managing my photo collection anyway, and there are a lot of auto or manual editing options. "Feeling lucky" usually makes wonders out of my not-so-attractive photos, sometimes it even looks like lite-HDR effect. Try it: http://picasatutorials.com/2009/04/picasa-tip-im-feeling-lucky/
Camera 360 is a great App. I use it for 2 years now. But your comparison is not about photo quality but rather about settings.
Compare the Camera 360 HDR Light photos to the LG stock camera "Vivid" option.
Also I cleaned my back cover glass with laboratory grade alcohol and microscope wipes last year. There seemed to be residue from the glue holding the glass smeared across the glass. Mainly on the inside. Once this was removed I never had dramatic differences between cover on and cover off.
There is dust in there sometimes and there are fingerprints on it, but they are wiped off easily.
All my picture are out of focus Happened some times ago. It tries to focus, it believes it does so, but all pictures are slighty out of focus. No sharp lines anywhere.
Is this water damage? Or could it be something else? If water damage, is there anything I can do at all about this?
welcome to the club... I think it's "camera damage" but from factory... I tried all camera apps but the result is the same almost.

Oh that sucks! I hate leaving it on repair. It takes forever and often they don't do jack ****... and you have to return 3 times before it's actually replaced by a new one. They first try software updates...! When it's been 2 months you've given up and bought a new phone.
Apart from that, this phone is the best phone I've had... and I've had many!
What version are you on?

Take it easy...
I complain about photos when the light is not great, besides that, when the light is excelent the phone do very nice pictures, sometimes its hard to focus but it works.
The problem of the phone camera is manage the light, I think... and for me its a question of lenses or some other hardware, cause I tried all the versions, all the apps and the blur or the light issue remains...
Apart of that and the back speaker (lets forget the bootloader for now...), the phone its great.
Try Camera JB+ or Camera 360 Ultimate, lot better imo.
I have no problem with the auto focus both day and night, please see these pics:

There's no difference in broad daylight, if any it's a very slim difference. It's most likely water damage, sadly.
I'm pretty technical, but wanted to ask a question towards users of the LG phone incase this might be a common issue.
I have version: 10f (latest version available)
A picture is worth a thousand words.
To illustrate the problem, below are two photos of my cat. The first was taken using the native Samsung camera app. The second using a port of Gcam.

Do you see the problem? Pictures taken with the Samsung camera app produce this "smudging" effect, making it look almost like a painting, or a cartoon.
This problem is very prevalent once you start using the camera a lot, taking lots of photos. Usually happens when the scene includes a lot of small details that need to be captured, like people's faces, or a textured intricate pattern.
Instead of accurately representing those details, the camera produces this smudged cartoony effect more often than not.
Since using the ported Gcam app on the same phone, same hardware, produces far superior results, it is reasonable to conclude that this is a Samsung software issue, and that the post-processing algorithm is not up to par.
My question being, is this a known issue? Is something being done about it? Is there a solution other than using 3rd party apps like the Gcam port used in my examples?
I'd much rather use the native camera app provided by Samsung, but as it stands currently it's just really not up to the challenge.
Will appreciate any feedback, thanks!

No.
P.S. What gcam port do you use exactly? Could you please link?
Do you see gcam improvement also in video comparing to stock camera app, filmic Pro and open camera?
Wow, that's so disappointing to hear!
One of the reasons I bought this phone was for the camera upgrade, thinking it would be decent.
Can't believe that it's this flawed for a device that came out in 2020.

I just used the one that was advertised on this forum: https://www.cyanogenmods.org/galaxy-a71-google-camera-apk-download/
Seems to work well for the most part. I mainly tested it with taking photos. Video quality seems to be about the same as the stock Samsung camera app, but I haven't tested it extensively to be fair.
I have noticed this smudging in other apps such as snapchat too, it's even worse there.
