As a new owner of G5 I have two questions in my mind.
Is there any way to use device's both rear cameras on non stock roms? Or is it only LG Camera app feature?
And second question, is there any way, mod, to show both time and nickname on active display?

Hey guys, I'm new to the forums. Got my 1st smart phone and it's a lg g2 801 and wanted to know about the camera features on cm.
I love the stock camera, esp. the burst mode.
Will I lose some all the shooting modes offered by stock g2?
Thanks.
Hi All
I am planning to buy a RN4 from Flipkart.
To one of my queries in Lineage OS thread, one user responded the following:

I've read that the modded Google cam is the best camera for custom roms possibly even better than stock MIUI as there are settings that you can tweak to get the best possible photo quality however there is a huge catch, it doesn't work with Omnivision camera. Well technically, it still works but you don't have HDR which is pointless as the app was modded for HDR to work.
There is a huge chance that you'll get Omnivision if you buy brand new as newer note 4x batches no longer comes with Sony or Samsung camera. Hopefully the October 6 camera commit by highwaystar on Lineage fixes this.
Yes, you can flash MIUI camera ported from MI A1 but HDR and few other features does not work and yes there is camera quality degradation which is very common on non-nexus/pixel devices as there are proprietary libs/drivers that's closed source.

People who bought RN4 recently from Flipkart, please help me make an informed decision by mentioning what camera sensro you got?
Sony / Samsung or omnivision?

LCD Tianma?
Regarding FP Sensor I got confused. Goodix has issues with some roms right? or is it FPC?

I don't know about LCD. And yes oreo roms has issues with goodix sensor right now, but devs are trying hard to get it fixed and eventually it will.
Doesn't matter where you buy it, it's 100% random you can get anything.

Agree
Which app are you using to check what the hardware is? I wanna check my camera and FP sensor too, since I bought from Flipkart too during that sale. Thanks.

dial ##6484## then press 1. version information
plz check and update here
Doesn't work on custom rom I am guessing? On RR.
When new ROMs release (like LineageOS for Poco Pocophone F1), how will the camera perform?
Will it include the same quality, AI and specs like the main ROM?
And... I've seen that new official ROM/Firmware updates can update the camera quality via AI, will that be possible to include in the ROMs easily? Is that part of the Treble partition? Or that is not part of the Treble and opensourced, and thus quite difficult to include?

it would need a poco miui camera port to get these AI features at customs ROMs. I don't know why but for the moment gcam isn't even running flawlessy, maybe due to camera firmware. opencamera works and even footej cam. I've tested snapdragon camera and these ports don't work for me on lineageos 15. hmd camera starts but can't enter settings menu and I'm getting grainy photos.
Hi,
I'm a GCam user, used it on my LG G4, LG G5, LG v20 and now Poco X3. Love it, but there is always something missing in all these ports. The white balance in better with one of them, it doesn't work with wide angle lens. Another port works with all lenses, but WB libs or sensor noise models do not match the sensor. Or there is simply no options to select a different library, etc.
So I wonder if there is a brief "how to mod an gcam" guide available, so may be I can have fun with tweaking another mod up to my taste. I do have some SW skills, plus an advanced degree at RTFM, so just a brief guidance would be sufficient (this is how to add a lens, this is how to add library, this is how to change sharpness algorithms or noise models).
Thanks

What about asking Gcam devs themselves ? Give it a shot, it they want to share they'll sure do
Title says it all. I have already concluded that gCam is working so I need to know now if this very attractive HDR+-functionality within gCam works on this device? I would love to have some examples shots made with and without gCam and HDR+ if someone got something to show? If it's good I'll go and buy this phone soon.
Thank you guys! Cool forum by the way.
HDR+ is just the name of Google's implementation of image stacking (combining multiple shots into one photo, what all modern photos apps do). So HDR+ is the technology used within GCam.
If you use an app like the one described here for A52s:
G cam
There is any G cam available for Samsung galaxy A52s
forum.xda-developers.com
You even get two different implementations of HDR+ that you can switch between in the app:
- Regular "HDR+" which combines several underexposed (so too dark) photos into one.
- "HDR+ enhanced" which takes longer to take a shot, but as I understand then it will take pictures at different exposures (so one too dark, one too bright, and one just right) so that it can correctly display both bright and dark areas in the final photo.
For sample photos comparing the Samsung stock camera app and GCam on A52s, maybe I can just point you to my A52s user review. It's in Dutch, but you can just click on the pictures in it and the captions should be readable:

Beautifully answered, thank you!
Since I wrote this post I have decided to change my choice of phone the the Samsung flagship of 2019 the Galaxy s10. This one had other qualities than the a52 that I want more at this point. The only thing that concerns me is that it doesn't use Snapdragon which makes me believe I won't be able to use the gCam. But maybe there are better alternatives?
