Possible to port S4 camera software to Z?

It's just a thought, I don't think it's possible but nothing is impossible
Can it be done? It's more of a software issue any way and it would make the xperia even better
Xperia Z White

Ooh Ty. though he look photosphere like S4 or HTC one that run in XZ.

While the camera is pretty much the same, the stock S4 camera app runs on Samsung's proprietary framework.
I highly doubt that the camera app could be ported over.

I meant to say that the hardware is nearly the same. S4 uses the same camera hardware as Xperia Z. Read the post again, I think you misunderstood.

The 3D Sweep Panorama and the normal Sweep Panorama disappear together Maybe the 3D one is not useful but I think the normal one is quite useful for taking photos like sea view~

How did it disappear? I still have Panaroma under the options where you select the Super Auto, normal, Scene modes etc. I am on .284.
The Seeep Panaroma also has options to select the direction in which you want to Pan. 3D Sweep is missing, But I don't remember seeing it on the SP.

something like implementing 4k recording require sony to do something to the camera driver right?

I don't think so - I'd say it's about software and bandwidth and codecs. if it was camera driver, then other camera apps on Note 3 would allow to record video in 4K, and as far as I know they don't do that, so...

so potentially, someone can make an app with 4k recording and brute for it to work? Or a 8MP recording and downsample to 1080p video, still a huge quality boost.

eagerly waiting for 4k recording on this awesome phone....
btwn any nice camera app for this phone like which can shoot at 13 mp or higher.. 21 mp than 8mp is great diff

Camera FV-5 I would say is one of the best

does Camara FV-5 allow 4k video recording? Even for note 3?

No, it is a camera photography app, sorry to confuse I was referring to the second part of imranaryan's post. For 4k to be enabled the codecs drivers etc would need to be implemented by Sony unless someone can hack this

Maybe Sony will give 4k recording along with kitkat update.....maybe.....I really trust in the potentially of this phone and on the efforts of Sony to give us a very good product which actually is.....

Has Sony ever said anything about the Z1 having or gettin 4k video recording?
i know the was rumours before the z1 was officially announced but i havent heard anything from Sony about it.
basically all ive seen was a supposedly leaked pic of what was then the Honami phone with a sticker on it saying 4k.
i wouldve thought if Sony was planning on implementing 4k into the z1 they wouldve announced something by now in an attempt to get more interest in the z1. why keep a major selling point quiet?
the fact that theyve said nothing makes me think its not coming to z1 and possibly be saved for the z2.

What exactly do I lose by going aosp?

Not a n00b by any means but only my second Sony.
Getting a bit bored of the Monx rom, though excellent for Sony base.
I was just wondering if anyone had a definitive list of what I lose if I go aosp, cm11 etc.
I know for example that the xreality goes (not too bothered), but are there camera implications? Anything properly broken?
Many thanks in advance to anyone who can set me down the right path.

Make a nandroid backup.. And try AOSP, if u don't like u can come back..
Why ask.. Try for urself ..
Though AOSP dosent have any problems ATM

as I know you will loose x-reality , xload , clear audio+ , you will have a less loudness on speaker , maybe the BIONZ ( not sure about that) .. as you know the sony apps ( album,movies,walkman,camera,keyboard) replace with aosp default apps

Thanks. Does the lack of Sony processing on the camera help or hinder the quality? I'm assuming sound can be mitigated with something like pimped kernel?

album, movies, walkman, keyboard already available for AOSP rom, please do a proper search and there is no problem with loudness

Even there is a mod in which u ll get most of the Sony Camera Apps except Manual and Superior Auto..
Do a proper search

As others suggested, here is the link to sony apps for aosp roms.
Yeah, sound won't be a big issue, you can use the pimp my z1 app

Cheers I tried Google camera and honestly I don't think I'll miss the sony camera too much. Auto hdr is nice but I don't need it most of the time. Think I might take the plunge!

Yeah, no harm in trying. Don't forget to back up your DRM keys before unlocking the bootloader.

Hi,
I'm sorry to break it to you, but AFAIK it's not possible. You can use different camera apps to check some different software post editing and rendering (you could even do that without rooting), however the camera quality is mainly based in the lens and image processor of your device, both of which you can't change.
All the best,
~Lord
