As the title says, Development is off to an early start. This mod is designed to improve the stock camera on the LG G3, ROOT IS REQUIRED in order to accomplish this UPGRADE.

Thanks first of all to Hendrickson for his development on this modification.

The way this camera modification works for the LG G3 (it is somewhat similar to the LG G2 camera mod for those familiar.) The camera mod for the LG G3 can replace the default 1080p 30fps to 1080p 60fps at 30mbps. Besides, it can increase 4K videos from 30mbps to 40mbps and set JPEG quality compression to 100. Those who wish to install the camera mod on the LG G3 for better video and imaging quality may follow the step-by-step guide.



Warning DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL THIS ON ANY DEVICE OTHER THAN AN LG G3.

NEITHER MYSELF OR DROIDFORUMS IS RESPONSIBILE FOR WHAT YOU DO WITH YOUR PHONE, YOU OWN.

Download files

G3_camera_mod_V2.zip

A root file manager: Root Browser

Install BusyBox app [After installing the app, open it and select Install option]

The LG G3 does not need a custom recovery to install camera mod. But the phone should be rooted and need root file explorer to access and modify system files.

How to install camera mod on LG G3 for improved photo and video

Step-1: Unzip G3_camera-mod_v2.zip and open the extracted folder

Step-2: Copy media_profiles.xml to the internal storage of the phone

Step-3: Open Root Browser app and navigate to media_profiles.xml

Step-4: Tap and hold media_profiles.xml file and select Copy button

Step-5: Navigate to System/etc folder then tap Paste button

Step-6: A window will now appear asking if you want to overwrite an existing file, select Yes

Step-7: Find the media_profiles.xml file, tap and hold it and select Permissions option

Step-8: Set file permissions to rw-r-r-(0644)

Step-9: When the action is completed, exit Root Browser and reboot LG G3

Once the LG G3 boots up successfully, launch the camera mod to enjoy enhanced photo and video quality on the phone.
