Any way to port the Pixel camera APK to be able to use the wide angle camera? - LG V30 Questions & Answers

I asked this in the V20 Thread and the main reason I picked up the V30 was for the wide angle camera: Is there any way to get the pixel camera port to use the wide angle camera on our phones? I think it would be awesome if we could set it up like the stock camera app with the ability to switch between the cameras but maybe even being able to install two versions of the pixel APK, one for the regular camera, one for the wide angle one? I saw that Moment has a wide angle lens attachment for the pixel but I'd rather just have it built in to the phone than carry a lens around with me.

Portrait mode should be feasible

I've seen recently released phones which have a similar setup like the G5 with one normal and another wide angle sensor on the back, such as the Xiaomi A1. And they have the ability to combine the inputs of both sensors to post-process the blurry 'bokeh" portrait mode effect.
Which makes me wonder why this can't be done on the G5/G6? How much modification of the A1 camera app would it take for this to work? I'm pointing out A1 specifically because the camera app has already been ported to other Xiaomi phones.
These other phones don't have a wide angle lens. They use a telephoto one instead which helps create the effect
You probably would not be able to just port over that app. But it might be possible to create the same effect by cropping the wide angle lens back to the same or slightly more than the standard camera. But that probably won't work too well, since you already have half the resolution on the wide angle lens, and you need to cut it down even more to even get close to the other lens' angle
The A1 uses a wide angle as the secondary camera with the primary being a telephoto. But I've seen the wide angle shots and they don't look like they have much of a fisheye effect that the LG G5 has. But I do think with a bit of lens correction this may be doable.
But I don't have the skills for this.
Sorry to diggout this old subject
But I bought a LG G5 recently for 150$, I'm very happy with (apart from ghosting screen effect) and I'm really interested in portrait mode
I'm a java developer (and recently Android), if anyone still interested, I can spend time on it, it would be possible I think
Portrait mode for lg g5 request
Please please develope portrait mode for LG g5 ... And thanks in advance ...

Universal Lens for P20/Pro

Anybody here tried some lens for the P20/P20P camera? What model you tried and how does it perform?!?
Here is one using 52mm star 8+ under night mode
i'd love love a good wide angle one. i almost regret selling my v30 and upgrading to this. never use the zoom, but would have used wide angle as my default. anyone? the post above looks good clean enough at 52mm

I have use for my S8 BlitzWolf Mobile Phone Lens, and they was fantastic. Very, very good camera lens. But now I cant use it on P20 Pro. On back cameras and front camera when you put lens, every time photo is blur. I dont know why?
I would like to know is they any good wide angle lens for P20 Pro.

IMHO, the p20 pro cameras all work in tandem, at least the 40mp + 10mp monochrome. You will suffer from diminished quality since your universal lens addon is only attached to one lens.

It wasnt anounced that they worked together, but they have in the past so they probably do. We'll see, I might try one if nobody else does.

You can try but based on what I know, you will be making some sacrifices here and there.
For instance, there are a bunch of sensors used for colour detection and a focus sensor sandwiched between the colour and zoom lens. If you use those clip on lenses you will be blocking the sensors.
The cameras I'm 99.999999999% sure they work together. That's the whole point of their marketing. A dedicated monochrome sensor to enhance image quality etc etc.
With multiple cameras in our phones these days, aftermarket add on lens means you get more trade offs when you use one of them.
i recently ordered one off Amazon. An AUKEY one for $10cdn
thinking having the wide angle would come in handy.
I will report back the quality of the pics when its clipped on. If im not satisfied, i will simply return it.

Yep. The phone uses at least two of the sensors together, if not all three.
Taken using a 0.45x super wide angle lens under night mode.
Can you take a picture with and without that wide lens so we can see the difference?

I got one of these for my old phone, didn't know what to expect
This is where ois really plays a part.
Did you know how many times it says "ONE POUND" on a one pound coin,?
From the macro I got I could see it !!
Amazing
25 times
Those bobbles aren't bobbles. They're words.
I'd recommend it so long as they're high grade. No plastic holders
Good morning,
Any link to buy it, or trade?

I don't have it with me pal.
The macro and the Tele lenses were the best if I recall correctly.
I'm sure there are images online.

main rear camera won't always focus - but wide angle one looks great?

I've got the Verizon VS987 model and for the last few weeks, I cannot get the main camera on the rear to focus properly. However the wide angle one works great!
I've tried replacing the main rear camera module itself with a brand new one from Amazon and confirmed it didn't help at all. Does the G5 use a laser focus for the main rear camera like other models do? It appears to be under the flash in the center. It looks like this is an all-in-one module with a laser and the flash. However I cannot find a replacement part for it anywhere - all the listings show say they're for the cable for it.
Any thoughts? Am I going in the wrong direction?

3d photos

Hello,
have anyone found a way to capture 3d photos? Facebook has rolled out 3d photo capturing for dual camera phones, but I don't think g5 will get that feature.
I use phogy but it's a bit old and outdated.
In order to take 3d photos, we would need two identical cameras. The two cameras of our phone are too different for the view angle and for the sensor size and quality.
The software would need to know how to deform the wide angle photo to make it look like the one taken with the main camera, and I think they still would not match perfectly.

Well, you can still get 2d image + 3d depth mapping from different dual camera. LG g7, v35, V40 (with matching 78° & 107° camera) will support this Facebook 3d format soon

Question Anyones s23 ultra selfie camera make a click/pop sound when closing/swiching out of it?

When I am in the selfie camera and i open the gallery preview on the bottom left or close the camera app i hear this click sound coming from the front facing selfie camera. Also when i look super closely after switching or closing the app, i can see the selfie camera move backwards kinda.
Im aware of the rear cameras having OIS so it moves around and makes some sound but this seems to be coming from the front facing camera. I never switched to the back cameras so they never activated.
Can you guys with the 23 ultra test this and see if you have it too, im not sure if its normal behavior.

The Front Facing Camera have auto focus so there is a lens that moves forward and backward , and may be thy added OIS secretly like apple did with IP14PM

Of course the camera has OIS... It's a flagship. It would be basically criminal for it NOT to have optical image stabilization. Also, the iPhone Pro Max series has had OIS since at least the 12 Pro Max (in fact Apple claimed it had dual optical image stabilization, meaning the telephoto had it as well). Not having OIS means blurry images in anything less than the utmost stable of hands when taking a photo and it's why I hated my OnePlus 9 and wished I bought the 9 Pro even though I didn't want the curved screen. Were you thinking of some other feature?
