Hi all
I have both an Artemis and Kaiser.... And both are great little devices...
But in the most recent wm6.5 rom by Shaddy for the Artemis, Zoom has now been enabled for 2 Megapix where as it was never available for anything above 1megapix.
So my questions is this is it possible to enable it for 3megapix on the Kaiser???

thanks mate
As promised a quick write up for the camera App/driver.
So far the app has performed well. But seem's a little slower at taking the photo's and there's not real auto focus. It sort of tries to but that's about it. The Zoom works well(only x2) and the photos are ok but have seen better. Overall image quality is a little better than previous. But nothing to write home about...
Is it worth installing????? Well that depends on you... All you gain is Zoom, but you loose, Sports mode, multi shot mode, 2nd camera access, and auto focus... For me you you loose to much so have reverted back....
Ideally I would like an app that provides all the original features including zoom, though I can live with out multi or sports modes but need to have gps,normal,panoramic, auto focus and 2nd camera modes,..
Does anyone know of a drive/app that can do this???

re: camera lag issues
hey got my fone...love it so far...havent really played with it...but the one i dont like is that the camera lags a lot the refresh rate is low..i mean ppl who are walking across the picture look like they are jolted..i have only tried this once though and it was a little dark but light was on..havent tried it during the day..and by the time i push the button to take it there is a big delay between the picture and the photo shot itself...does anyone else have this problem..
the only problem I Have is taking the pic when i click to capture it takes a few seconds to take it It seems like a autofocus thing some one needs to come up with a tweak to speed up the capturing process

Is that what you are looking for?
surprised you didn't flame him
thank you ..no need to flame..I know there is 4.08 version already..I need the one that came with the 6.1 official WWE release.. P1Tater, my friend is it the one came from 6.1 official release?
Thanks so much..

Can one use this on Athena??? Does this HTC Camera 4.08 Build 28288 work actually on HTC X7510??? or can anybody make a cab of HTC CAMERA that X7510 is equiped with?? Please
I think this is the latest version. My cab, yanked from the latest. Has the rotated pic fix included.
is this file for Athena X7500 too??? Please anybody say sth
Isn't the Athena a VGA device? You should check the Diamond forum for a VGA camera cab. The Diamond ROM is neatly packaged so it shouldn't be too hard to make a cab. The stock rom has:
"CAMERA"="6_00_30998_01"
Can anybody confirm if this will improve the picture taking ability of the Tilt?
Thanks in advance..
Thanks akadonny. I have searched but nothing found and posted new thread with this question and with request doing such a cabfile. And there is a difference between cameras in Athena and Diamond (3.0 to 3.2 megapix) I hope that this wont disturb Athena or even demage sth?
thank my friend..this is the latest one..I will install it right now
thanks alot...

it seems to be quicker than before, but I haven't tried any low lighting pictures yet. its far too bright outside and in the office. cleaner menus, a bit more finger friendly.
Didn't improve the camera at all.. Navidi's 5.04 is still better...
can anybody post a screenshot?
xavier? u confirm that this version is not good as v5.04?
I tried it and there wasn't any improvement in picture quality in not so brightly lit environments. Also I like the UI in 5.04 a whole lot better.
well then, i'll just stick to v5.04
when i'm taking picture using my front camera, the quality is poor, maze picture. how to fix it?
using the back camera quite ok, not really satisfy yet with its performance, sloww

I like it more finger friendly for menus, haven't noticed picture quality increase 3MP is 3MP, still get the Tilt blurry vision if don't use the tweak but that's expected, so all in all i'm happy
Thank you akadonny for the .cab.
Hi All
This may be a noob question, but ive noticed this with my camera. As you can see on image 1010, its focus is on the sky, but then if i move it a few degrees down (1011) its focus is on the man across from me. These images have done this without me touching to focus or anything.
Is there a way i can get my camera to take a decent shot of both the sky and whatever is infront of me? without having to compromise a certain part of the image.
I took a lot of photos twice today in order to get both parts of the photo in good focus.
Im using:
Stock camera app
Project X v4
There is no Q+A sectin, so ive posted this here, it can be deleted once ive figured out this little annoyance.
Any information regarding this, work arounds, or why it does it would be great. Also, is this the case on all roms?

i think its just autofocus that does it. you will realise once you move the phone it comes up with the focus square
But surely there's a way to make it so it doesn't block out a section of the image just because it feels like it ?

Pretty sire it can't focus on two things at once
The focus/lighting are related, so if you've focused on the man, the lighting will adjust so you can see the man and not the sky

Here it is camera 2.0 ported for 5.0.2... This took a lot of work, months of work to figure this out. Theoretically this should work on any 20.7 megapixel Xperia device running 5.0.2... Enjoy it... My Rom Is coming people... I've been very busy with school.

I'm using my phone... And are you sure this has been available for 5.0.2? I know it's been available for 5.1.1 Lollipop for some time now...Because I'm pretty sure as of a month ago (that's around the last time I searched this topic) it wasn't working on 5.0.2 because people were getting Force Close errors on all the Camera 2.0 ports.. A couple of the devs even said 5.0.2 was impossible with this... but if you know of a recent 5.0.2 port that I don't know about, let me know.. It's not that I doubt you, I'd just like to see it for myself since I sunk a lot of time into getting this to work for our Lollipop version...Thanks!

The Z3v is different from the rest of the Xperia line, and I've tried the port that was given out on the cross device board and it really does no one any good when you can't even open the camera anymore.

telling a devloper to use the search button... you should know what your talking about before you post.
This is the only way to get camera 2.0 on the z3v. Or use the other ports and watch your camera not work anymore and force close.

Where can I find a list of improvements that will be had specifically to the z3V over the original camera software?
Also, can you please tell us what is different than the other downloadable installation file that's floating around here? They have the same timestamp and are the same size. I'm not doubting, just trying to understand.
Mr. Bradley, please, for the love of God, don't lock this thread down too.

There are no list of improvements specific to our device model, this is just the updated Sony camera app(s) ported from the Z5 to work on our devices. I wasn't aware there was another flashable camera port for the Z3v floating around here... Please link me to it. I assure you, you have nothing to risk by flashing this and that I am the original developer of this port... No one else by my knowledge should be circulating this file around for the Z3V or 5.0.2 in general. I'm making a flashable zip as we speak to revert back to the orginal camera should you not like the Camera 2.0's interface... I'm also working on an updated version of this port that will provide some camera improvements. When I'm done with both zips they will be posted in the OP along with some cleanup and screenshots. Thank you for your questions, it's great to ask questions... that's how we learn.. And its always good to know as much as possible before flashing anything to our phones. Should you have any more questions feel free to ask and I hope you enjoy the MOD.
Nope, not the same. When Mega DLs I end up with two of everything. Previous download zips were moved to my card and is the z5 2.0 at 10.5mb.
Will try this later and look for differences.

Would you mind linking me to this other zip you're referring to? Thank you ��
EDIT: Nevermind I can tell by the size of the file you must be referring to one of the other Camera 2.0 ports here on XDA. You can try flashing those at your own risk if you'd like, but I'd kindly like to warn you ahead of time, those do not work on Lollipop 5.0.2... The reason my port is larger in file size is because the framework ported from 5.1.1 as well as permission files to run Camera 2.0 are included. It is worth noting however, you can flash any other Camera 2.0 port AFTER flashing mine and they'll work since mine installs the correct framework and permissions that are necessary.
Zach,
Thanks for putting this together. I've installed it on rooted 5.02 and it's running well. Note that a couple boots were required after TWRP install and the user will get an overheat if trying to use the camera immediately but after the phone acclimates it is just fine.
I had downloaded the z5 zip not understanding that the z3V was the only one not on the list. I actually almost installed it until I read that it could brick the phone.
The UI seems a bit fiddly but I guess each has it's learning curve. I took random dim indoor shots, including some macros, before and after in the sensors native 4:3 aspect ratio at 20.7MP usingthe original and your ported 2.0, but using Camera FV-5. I didn't tripod the phone or run any real range, just point & shoot of 28 shots all the same objects from the same spot.
So far I have not noticed a significant difference and when the photos are zoomed in on they show the same muddled look from what appears to be the same overcorrective software (I'm sure Sony didn't change that). I've read that the z5 camera hardware is identical to the z3V.
I'll put her on a tripod this weekend and do some real testing.
The original camera zip will make flipping back and forth easier for comparison testing.
Thanks for making this happen!
Thank you so very much for your time and effort to get this working for our device
So how many of us have actually installed this ROM? Is it worth ditching the setup we have right now? I mean I don't really know how this could provide better performance if Sony hasn't updated any soft for our phones camera. I could understand manual modes might provide greater ability to change fine settings, but point and shoot quality and overall use ability is was I am concerned about.
First off, it's not a ROM, it's technically just a mod. Secondly, Sony supposedly did update the software, and because the camera hardware in our z3V phones are identical to those of the z5 which was released with this updated software, it will do the same thing and be perfectly installable without having to port it. -And it is, on nearly every single z model but ours because the z3V is a Verizon Sony step child.
The UI is MOSTLY what's new and improved, but lower light shots do seem to be rendered better by the software. The ISO limits haven't changed and I doubt that Sony did something to alter their interpolation software, but something does seem different.
Until I can easily switch back and forth without having to flash to an entire restore that's 12Gb (in other words, simply flash back to the original camera as a zip), I'm not going to bother with tripod testing. Once I can do that, I will take shots with a tripod in varying light using the old and new camera zips and examine the shots and exif data. It could simply be that in manual mode the software defaults to better settings. I'm guessing that it's the default values values in lower light situations that have been changed, if anything.
At first I didn't like the user interface just because I wasn't used to it. But now I find I'm actually using it more than I used the old one (I normally use FV-5). It is a one handed, portrait friendly UI.
I highly recommend this mod. Simply make a backup and install it. You can always revert back to the old one via your backup or you could wait for zachariahpope to release the original as an installable zip.
I found I minor bug. The front camera wants to stay on manual. If you switch to superior auto, the camera closes.

Strange. Mine doesn't crash when switching to superior auto with the front camera.
Edit: It does if I try to switch while using the front camera. If I switch to Superior Auto for the rear camera and then switch to front camera it is fine.
Hi. I am interested in getting this phone.. But most of the camera tests I see online, the images are too dark. Also, strangely, although images are generally underexposed, they still somehow manage to blow out highlights sometimes.
I am very impressed with the camera quality apart from the issues stated above, but surely they are software issues and can be fixed with a patch or alternative camera app?
Thanks

Everything can be fixed and by far improved using the GCam. Search the thread for examples.
Thanks
I saw some pictures but they didn't seem hugely better to me.
Plus most apps need a root to install?
I wouldnt wan't to buy a phone and risk installing an app and then can't send it back if I'm not happy.
Do you know a link for some good picture and video samples?
Thanks

But all the others the Gcam looked quite a lot better.
