Modded Camera
There is no need to do anything with your original camera. This installs as a separate app.
This is my modded version of the CM CameraNext app. I decided to share this because I have seen many people want to use the Color OS camera because of its low light performance. So far, I have implemented the 16 and 32 second shutter delay and I might add more later on.
Requirements
Root if you want a higher bitrate for videos and the fix for auto-focus "Click" sounds (Flash the zip file)
Changelog
V1
16 second shutter added
32 second shutter added
V2
disable extra shutter button
V3
Rename app to "CameraNextMod"
Set "Slow Shutter" to the default scene mod on app open
1/4 second slow shutter (User request)
24 second slow shutter (Good balance between 16 and 32)
30 Burst Shots
50 Burst Shots
XML code cleanup
CM12 Panorama fixed with lib file
CM11 and CM11s Flashable zip
CM12 Flashable zip

Couple of things to note before installing V11
Uninstall V10 manually
Smart Scene was removed from the new app but I added a toggle under Experimental called "Best Shot""
When "Best Shot" is enabled, you wont be able to switch scenes
If you have video artifacts, then try disabling video HDR and Video Stabilization
V11
addon.d script thanks to @kantjer (All camera mods will survive nightly flashes) (Need to flash zip)
Best Shot toggle
Second shutter option replaced with a blank
Version Number is on the last page in settings so its easily identifiable
CM12 users use "4k UHD (CM12)" option to record in 4k UHD
Notes for V15
If you are missing options, make sure you are on V15 by going into the camera settings and then swipe to the "General" page
If you have problems, clear the data
Shutter speeds lower than 1/30 REQUIRE FULL DAYLIGHT. It is used for capturing very quick shots
V15
Based on 05Q firmware
New installer for zip files
ISO - auto(HJR) is defualt now
1/5000,1/2500,1/1000,1/500,1/250,1/125,1/60 shutter speeds

HDR Force closes are fixed
Video Focus Mode added
First off, sorry guys for taking so long with this version. I was tinkering with the Color OS cam for a bit
V16 Notes
I optimized the settings for point and shoot
To get my settings: reset the app, set quality to 95, Sharpness=6, Contrast=4, Saturation=6
V16
1/60, 1/125, 1/250, 1/500, 1/1000, 1/2500, 1/5000 shutter modes for quick shots (needs daylight and Auto ISO)(See image below)
ISO_HJR is default ISO mode
Video Focus Mode
Fix HDR
Reenable ZSL toggle
Renable Face Detection toggle
Fix RAW derp from last version
V16A - Tiny update, only cosmetic changes
Rename "Slow Shutter" to "Variable Shutter"
I did this to accurately represent the shutter modes available from 1/5000 (very fast) to 64 seconds (Very Slow)
Bring back "4k UHD (CM12)"
V20
Focus ring is now smaller and thinner (User request)
Burst Mode Icons added
Burst Mode added to quickbar
ISO added to quickbar
Second Pie menu includes Sharpness,contrast, and saturation
1/4, 1/8, 1/16 Variable Shutter
Variable Shutter menu Bug fixed! The options dont reset to auto now!
Mix and Matching is now possible
Notes for V20
Variable Shutter can now be used on ALL scenes
Burst mode is enabled for ALL scenes
Moved autofocus click noise to a separate zip because it forces mono sound to fix it
To reenable ZSL make sure Variable Shutter is set to off
For EX: I can set aqua scene, set the variable shutter to 1 sec and turn burst to 5. It will shoot 5 aqua sslow shutter images in a row without touching it
EX 2: Turn burst to 5 and use HDR. Now it will take 5 HDR pics without you touching it!
Once again, Thank @infinityplus!
V21
Added more icons for Saturation, Contrast, and Sharpness
Change Second pie menu icon @infinityplus
moved and redid ISO icons
Focus mode added to the second menu
V22
Remove Focus mode
Fix force close
Notes for Color OS Camera VS CameraNext
Color OS Denoise default is off <> CameraNext Denoise default is on
This is why the CameraNext pictures are smaller. Denoise compresses them, thus the smaller file size. I would recommend turning this off for day shots. On night shots, I highly recommend turning it on, otherwise the pictures will look like garbage with scattered RGB artifacts. This is why Color OS cam provides slightly better detail in night shots
Color OS Contrast and Saturation Values are 5 <> CameraNextMod default is 4 and 6 respectively
Color OS cam has three modes (low, mid, and high). The numeric values are 0,5, and 10. CameraNextMod values ranges from 0-10. I tried to tune it for color accuracy, Your results may vary.
Color OS Auto Exposure is set to Center-Weighted <> CameraNextMod Auto Exposure is set to Frame-average
Color OS Cam by @BOOTMGR here
Color OS Cam mod port by @infinityplus here
Bugs
Shutter option shows up twice but one is disabled
Shutter option will reset to auto if you open and close the settings
All previous Stock CameraNext Bugs
To use it, you must change the scene mode to "slow shutter" and then select the speed. If you don't have this scene available, then your camera does not support it and won't work.
WARNING
THE ZIP FILES ARE ONLY FOR THE ONEPLUS ONE DEVICE. The CM12 zip WILL CAUSE A BOOTLOOP if flashed on CM11 or CM11s due to the panorama fix and vice versa. IF STUCK IN A BOOTLOOP, FLASH THE CORRECT VERSION FOR YOUR DEVICE OR DIRTY FLASH YOUR ROM. DO NOT FLASH THE WRONG ZIP. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU DO NOT READ OR MESS UP YOUR PHONE.
NOTES
Starting from V6 onward, if you're running a modified version of the mixer_paths.xml file, you'll have to remodify it. If you are using one of my audio mods, I'll update them to into the camera fix. Just flash the new file and you're good to go.

To remove camera sounds
go into /system/media/audio/ui
delete camera_click.ogg
delete camera_focus.ogg
delete VideoRecord.ogg
To remove the mod completely
To completely uninstall the zip file, you have to delete 90-CamSettings from
/system/addon.d/
Then you have to uninstall the app by using titanium backup or deleting CameraNextMod.apk from /system/app
Finally to get rid of the autofocus click fix and increased bitrate, just dirty flash your ROM.

Wow brilliant. Looks fantastic buddy! Will give it a try
Thanks for improving my preferred camera app.
Do you think is feasible to have a better noise suppression algorithm? That is the biggest difference I noticed when tried Color OS camera app.
Looks amazing! Thanks for the effort! Would it be possible to change the aspect ratio of the viewfinder? Currently it is a little zoomed in so the actual captured image is actually wider than what is being shown on the viewfinder
What an idea ! Well done :highfive:
How did you manage to take such a clear picture with this speed of shutter ? You have a tripod or something ?

I am not sure if I'll be able to do that because this only required a simple edit in the XML files but I'll look into it.

Nice work.Thank you for the mod and hope to see more updates.
I clear data on the original camera next install, uninstalled and then installed your modded version but I still have a Max of 8 seconds on show slow shutter settings. Any ideas how to fix?
Edit: Nevermind, checked again and I now have two separate options for slow shutter speed, one with a Max of 8 the other with a Max of 32,i guess the first is ignored?

It's a bug of cm. Mine crashes when I press panorama button. (Nightly 10/01)
Okay thanks to confirm! The panorama mode from camera next is not so good as the one from the Google camera, so it's not a big thing...
Amazing! been waiting for someone to do a camera mod. You should keep up the good work and maybe up the video bitrate in the future
It says app not installed when I tried to install it. What am I doing wrong?
I'm selecting 32 sec option in the 2nd shutter menu but phone is still taking pics with 8sec shutter delay, am I doing something wrong?

Updated to version V5
Changes:
Photos: No over exposure. (0 ev)
Videos: As always videos look good in low light (more or less equal to the brightness you have when taking photos)
Install instructions same as below.
Links:
ADB: http://www.mediafire.com/?z0idch09sgl5r20
CWM: http://www.mediafire.com/?spiv8o9lav017t8
I see more than 60 downloads of v4 but surprisingly no feedback/report from anyone whether you see any difference with this mod. I ll not be able to improve this any further without feedback guys.
--
Please find the updated version V4.
I had to change lot of variables and also had to mod cameraapp to get this working. I used somboons camera apk and his script so you ll have sound off mod in this one. Thanks to somboons.
Also thanks to Somboons for creating automation scripts for us.
Prerequisites
Deodexed rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1871858
Firmware v10F
Changes you should notice:
Improvement in video brightness in low lights
Reduced over exposure (only +0.1ev)
Improvement in video quality when making video calls like over Skype/Gtalk
I am also trying to improve sharpness by changing the metering mode and increasing the meter spot size (feedback is important)
Reduced saturation (it helps improving video quality in low lights)
INSTALLATION
Method 1:
Flash via CWM.
1. Download CWM_Install_Camera_mod_V4.zip
2. Flash it via recovery
Method2:
1. Download the adb_camera_mod_vV4.rar file
2. Extract it
3.run the script
4. let it reboot
5. It also makes backup of the original files so, if you dont like it you can always revert (backup will be at external_sd/backupcamera).
These methods are tested and confirmed working.
Do let me know your feedback.
I really really spent lot of hours understanding and modifying these files. So i dont mind small donation to motivate me to work more on such mods. Thanks.

I tested this on 10F Swedish rooted phone and confirm that it is working well. Should work on 10D and may be previous versions as well. But i cannot guarantee.
(this is my first ever mod I made it by myself and post it in XDA. So dont flame me if anything is not right, thou I am happy to take your suggestions and improve further).

Hi friends,
Finally after 3 days of continuous work (spent at least 20-30 hours on this project) I managed to make a breakthrough in this brightness issue when shooting in semi lit conditions. As mentioned earlier, problem is not with the camera app but with the drivers itself. For some reason LG chose not to support higher ISO or proper adjustment of exposure/brightness/contrast for low light settings (it was the same case on LG optimus 2x as well).
Attached is the modifed camera.tegra.so (camera driver for our LG 4X). You need to copy it to /system/lib/hw using Root Explorer or similar application and set permissions. When possible I ll make flashable zip or some other automated way for everyone and also comparison videos. If anyone can help me with that i'd really appreciate it.
Benefits of this new driver:
1. Improved image quality. You ll see size of the photos will be about 2.5mb (instead of 1mb). You ll also notice ISO values in low light photos hitting around ISO2500 (even i didnt know that this camera can support such high ISO).
2. Improved visibility in the video recording in low light conditions.
3. Improved bit rate in video recording upto 25mbit/s.
4. Constant 25-30FPS in video recording.
Drawbacks:
For video recording I increased the brightness level twice as much. So dont use highest brightness when taking videos in dark. If you do so you ll see very high noise.
Comparision videos in both indoor and outdoor:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/20rxmifrqzxjgby/dzY4BZuN6E (obviously difference is obvious in indoor than outdoor).
Installation:
1. Download and extract LG4x_working_camera_driver_20120830.rar
2. Using Root Explorer, go to /system/lib/hw and backup existing camera.tegra.so to camera.tegra.so.bak
3. Copy camera.tegra.so to /system/lib/hw
4. Set rw-r--r- permissions
Reboot.
When you open native camera app you should see the improvements.
Let me know in case you have any questions.
Change log:
V3 : 20120901
a. Reverted to automatic saturation as pictures look better with unmodified one
b. Reduced exposure to +0.3ev so that picutres dont look over exposed yet we ll see some improvement in videos. Should you need higher brightness in videos please use +/- correction. (hard to please all, right?)
c. Reworked on sharpness. Pictures/Videos look much sharper now.
V2 (enhancements): 20120830
a. Optimised saturation. Pictures in bright light looks colorful and in low light reduced noise
b. Reduced over exposure on pictures taken in bright sunlight
c. Improved sharpness of the pictures by edge enhancement (read here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edge_enhancement)
V2 (no enhancements):
No saturation or sharpness enhancements but just reduced over exposure.
Also uploaded original file in case you forget backing up
As always you are responsible for the changes you make on your device. I dont want you to complain about phone transforming into aliens or turning to paper weights if you use my mods. I am happy to help if I can.
Hope you enjoy my mods. Looking forward for your feedback.
PS: One should not experience any bootloops or any major issues with this mod. So dont be worried

In this thread I am seeking help to make LG 4X camera better. If you dont know what you are doing then thread is not for you, move on!!!
As I am really frustrated with the dark videos in a semi lit room and as there no other camera apps available to help get better videos I decided to mod the camera myself. I reached a point where I need help from experts here at XDA
Camera dark light problem video samples: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/r0xdgyo34oyhlq0/pPF8M8VNcj
To make it clear, problem lies with camera driver not the camera app (and thats the reason why other apps arent of much help). Camera driver is /system/lib/hw/tegra.camera.so
I took drivers from OneX and Asus Transformer Prime as an example (btw Asus prime takes amazing photos/videos even in low light) and modded the driver. Problem lies with ISO settings. Our dear LG 4X doesnt use ISO settings for video recording and seems it cannot change FPS on the fly when it is low light (still tries to record at 30 fps). High ISO and high fps causes dark videos. Read here: http://www.izzyvideo.com/low-light-video/
Now I managed to eliminate dark videos in low light successfully but
1. while taking video view finder is tilted by 90 degrees regardless of what direction you hold it. (see attachment camera.tegra_titled.rar)
or
2. It takes only photos but no videos. (see attachment camera.tegra_partlyWorking.rar)
You ll need HexEdit (http://www.hexedit.com/) to mod these files.
Just extract either of the two attachments and copy the tegra.camera.so file to /system/lib/hw and set permissions. Just backup old one before you do this thou. To save the noobs from flashing this file I put it in rar but not zip.
If anyone wants to know what changes i made, how I made please PM or write below and I can explain. Hoping for helping hands here to solve camera issue

Iam trying V2Enhancements.zip and sotck camera.tegra.so V10F firmware. Today had a lot of tests with the standard and your driver. When shooting, I did not use the touch focus, the camera will chose the exposure.
Empirically found that your driver all pictures differ by about +0.5 +0.7 EV, that is, they are brighter in any light.
Just seemed to me that the video was a little antsy (laggy) in 1080, maybe it isch due to increased bit rate, but I have not yet fully tested. And it is strange that one minute of recording goes about the same size in megabytes on your and the usual driver.
Sorry for google-english.

I have testing this version and found why photos is overexposed. See screenshot. Modded version add +0.4EV in each shot.
I also checked the video. In low light the video was better. Bitrate instead 7mbit was 10 megabits. However, all the videos began to appear a significant head (lag) when the camera is moving. Perhaps this is due to increasing the bitrate. For video, I use the internal memory and not the memory card.

Thanks. But i couldnt find a way to increase only video brightness without affecting exposure on image. I use Samsung 32gb class 10 microsd card and probably thats why I havent noticed any difference. I ll check again and come back. But in general night mode records slow videos than in broad day light
Btw where it the screenshot?
This is a thread to discuss my camera app.
It's a modified Android camera/gallery/editor with many features for Android 4.0+ (an older version also runs on 2.3).
Now with full 4K video recording on the Nexus 5 (3840x2160) , see this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57672891&postcount=2405
It's available on the play store for about US$2.
I really want it to work on as many different devices as possible so let me know how you get on with it.
The app is here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.marginz.snap
See the website for tips and FAQs:
http://www.marginz.co.nz/snap
Attached to this post will be the latest release and/or beta test, if you have purchased the app you can install this to test.
If you haven't purchased the app you can still install this but it will only work if you do not have a network connection on your device (wifi or mobile data).
If you have bought the app but want some extra features you can get the beta from the play store here:
https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.marginz.snap
You can opt out of the beta at any time by visiting this link again.

Hi Dzo. I'm very glad to see your camera app in market. But can I ask for a ad based version for testing purposes? Thank you in advance for any help.

There's already a thread on reddit about the camera
http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/153r0o/jelly_bean_camera_and_gallery_ported_to_all/
from first impressions, people are blasting the price, they think this is just picking up google's work and releasing it as a paid app :S they don't realize there's work involved to port it to 2.3+.
Dzo, I really suggest an ad supported or a trial version. That way, they'll have the chance to try it before blasting it :S
Looks interesting, but no free version to try.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk 2
Why aren't all apps as fast and cool looking like this? The only thing I'm missing so far versus Aurora's standard camera is the sharpness option. I usually set that to 0 or 1, because the default added too much noise.
The icon could use some work though. It's a bit... empty... and flat compared to other colorful, 3D-looking icons. Maybe I should clarify this, I mean the icon in the apk you sent per mail. The one that's just a white octagon
Btw, when I take a photo, the screen is tinted green. The photo is all right. Is that intended?
I think an ad version would be nice..
Sent from my U8800 using xda app-developers app
Just bought this
First impressions: looks very good and really fast to shoot and modify settings. Really great camera app!
One question: I don't get that how I shoot time lapse. I press it to on, select settings and press done, but where is option to start to shoot it? I think that it's somewhere, but I do something wrong

Is photosphere working?
bought and seems to take great pic, and easy to use as well. any plans to give the option of saving to external SD card?
would be great if one could.
First app I have ever bought. Bought it just to support dzo for his great job what he did for mine phone (U8800). I tried it and must say that it is really fast and great to use (sometimes little laggy on U8800 but what should we expect on 1ghz single core ) Found two bugs though. 1. app cant play videos taken from app itself (maybe just bug on U8800 idk) 2. when i watch any video in it, the blue top line with buttons like share and back never fades out (while looking at photos i just tap on screen and top overlay (idk if its called like this, english isnt my native language) fades out but in video it just pauses the vid.
Keep up good work :good:
edit: video recording doesnt work in 720p (and because of this i could not open those videos) but is working 480p

I don't see option for photosphere, so it's not at least in this current version.

I read some of the earlier posts and links and someone said that photosphere is proprietary. So no on it.

In fact, it's not available, because it's proprietary google technology that Dzo couldn't port if the app was to be a paid one. At least that's how I understand it...

Why aren't all apps as fast and cool looking like this? The only thing I'm missing so far versus Aurora's standard camera is the sharpness option. I usually set that to 0 or 1, because the default added too much noise.
The icon could use some work though. It's a bit... empty... and flat compared to other colorful, 3D-looking icons. Maybe I should clarify this, I mean the icon in the apk you sent per mail. The one that's just a white octagon
Btw, when I take a photo, the screen is tinted green. The photo is all right. Is that intended?

Sharpness is at the top on the controller. It's supposed to be a pencil sharpener!
Sharpness, contrast and saturation don't keep their settings after a restart, perhaps they should.
Yes, the launcher icon needs some work. I'll get into it. The green tint isn't supposed to be there. Just a feature of Aurora.

Thanks for the hint, now I'm happy
The whole workflow for snapping a picture and checking if it's come out alright is so much better with the integrated gallery.
@zazza8: Time lapse is not for photos, but for videos. Activate time lapse and start shooting a video, it works.
Modded Camera
This is my modded version of the CM CameraNext app. I decided to share this because I have seen many people want to use the Color OS camera because of its low light performance. So far, I have implemented the 16 and 32 second shutter delay and I might add more later on.
•Requirements:
root if on cm11s to uninstall stock camera
your camera must support the slow shutter scene mode to use the shutter option. Otherwise it won't do anything.
Changelog:
V1
16 second shutter added
32 second shutter added
V2
disable extra shutter button
•Bugs:
Shutter option shows up twice
Use the second option
To use it, you must change the scene mode to "slow shutter" and then select the speed. If you don't have this scene available, then your camera does not support it and won't work.
I have attached sample images below taken with different shutter speeds (1/2, 1, 2, 8, 16, 32) and with an ISO of 100 at night. Feel free to let me know what you think or if you have any suggestions

Dear friends,
November has been a very productive month for P2 owners with all sorts of Pie ROMs roaming around. But what everyone wants is a stable ROM with a working port of GCam 6.1 because it has got the magical "Night Sight" feature which actually does magic in low light.

SlowMo not working. However, it never works for me with GCam so try it yourself.
Google Camera 7 may only work with Android 9 and above. Please, test yourself if you are on Android 8 and report in the thread.
Google Camera 7 for Android 10
PMGC_7.0.009_PopugVersion_V11_1
Front camera greenish photos under dim light can be corrected by doing few things:
1. Enable HDR+ enhanced from drop down menu
2. Go into advanced settings and set time for front camera "1/5s" in ISO/ Exposure Time HDR+ or ISO 100. 1/5 captures photos faster though.
3. Reduce HDR+ frames to 5-10. Whenever you want to capture night shots without flash then enable HDR+ enhanced.
Configuration file
Video Capture Issues:
GCam is bad at capturing videos with P2.
Hence, install Open Camera, select 30 fps from video setting of the app then select audio source as default or optimised for voice recognition.
Keep resolution at 1080p for capturing, otherwise app will force close.
Adjust exposure while capturing videos at will.
This solution would work on Android 10 as well and it will record audio too.
Don't forget to test capture video to understand how it works.
Note: Config files are given as attachments.
What works:
Portrait, Night Sight, Face Retouching, AR Stickers, Playground, Photobooth, Panorama, RAW image, Video capture, Photo sphere, Lens, Motion Capture, Super Res-Zoom (Full zoom with HDR+ enabled), SlowMo (ROM dependent), Lens Blur

It is not my work at all so don't forget to Support and Thank the worthy developers who are working day&night for a flawless modded GCam for Android devices.
Also share if your favorite ROM allows this Gcam port to work in full swing. Sharing of some photos will be an added benefit. Peace!

As far as I know, RR is the only 8.1 ROM for P2 with almost zero or controllable bugs so an upgrade to RR should do the trick.

May be the camera is not focusing the object you are capturing. First touch the area you want to focus and then capture. Otherwise, restart the app. I tried a few flash photos and found that it did shoot few overexposed photos. I restarted the app and it was all good again.

For viewfinder lag you have to root your Device and flash Magisk Module(Realme Buffer Fix)
From here:-Link
Why on "other" ( where you can find panorama setting) there is no lag?
I don't know if "thank you very much" is enough for this. I've been looking for a stable Gcam for realme 6 for a very long time. And this is the most stable version. I am very lucky. Keep it up bro.
Let me address some issues:
1. Night sight isn't working for front camera.
2. Face retouch for back camera (it is working in the front camera only)
Thanks again.

For fixing NightSight you have to off [Sabre] by going in ImageSetting.Then it will work for Front Camera Also.
Its a very good gcam appreciated,
But i think slomo and time lapse is not working ?

Thx!
just disable HEVC/H.265 in setting >> general >> advanced to fix video record
Since I bought the phone I have been using another mode for realme 6. The main thing I miss was the Asto mode. Thanks to this one, it works well. Also the noise reduction was far better compared to the previous mod during low light situations, which has been horrible. Really appreciate your work. Hoping for future mods and apps. In the next version please enable the option to manual controls fro HDR+ mode also so that we could use thisapp instead of stock app for manual mode.
Man, thanks for this mod! Hell of a job!
Update issued solved thank you so much bro ??
Where is astro photography mode i can't find it?
And when i installed i have to make folders of myself and i don't know whether tbe xml file is working/added to configuration?
Rooted Realme 6, with the buffer fix its not working at all EXCEPT on the "others" tab its picking up camera images, all the others are black. they do work without the buffer fix but laggy. any solution?

Hi all, I've installed the app following the instructions of this post, thanks a lot. I would like to ask you if there is any way to change app language to other languages (Spanish language). Thanks for your support.
