You can see the different, unless you are blind

Placebo effect
Unlock bootloader doesn't reduce any display quality, except if your display broken
You can check your display by using service test
Dial this at your phone *#*#7378423#*#*
And select service test> display
About TA, you can check by using any 2 link above

Bravia will anyway work with only Movies and Album and even after unlocking it will work with Movies. So you won't be losing much if you unlock.
Dont worry machan I unlocked mine a few hours after purchase. Btw the display quality is poor because of hardware. It had a simple TFT screen. No Amoled or anything.

Okk.. Ela ela... Thnxx

I mirrored it because most users search in general section of xperia sola. It's easier this way. There is no difference between them.

[Q] unlock bootloader camera red&green noise issue could be solved?

as the title, I just got this phone for about a month so I don't know much about it. maybe someone asked the same question or has some fix but I can't find thread about this issue or maybe I just missed.
It's about after bootloader unlocked the camera takes photo with lot of red&green noise, and after restored TA this issue gone. I find that on lock bootloader when I taking a photo, It still shows a lot of R&G noise, but after I pressd the shutter, the noise didn't shows on photo or just turned to white&black. so I think maybe there is some kind of process or permission of optimization for camera in TA partitionand maybe it could fixed like BE2 without lock bootloader?
forgive my poor English and silly question:silly:

By unlocking your bootloader you loose the DRM Keys, and what the hell are related to them

Yes, I've posted something like this before and haven't got the answer except to lock the bootloader and restore TA.

So if I just lock the bootloader without restoring TA, the results will be the same as unlocked?

If unlocking without a ta backup, you can say good bye to Bravia engine 2 or x-reality, unless you can manage a mod to work.
Period.

I saw a mod to restore the BE2 and x-reality, but none to fix the camera...I don't know is that very hard to fix this issue or people on UB just don't care these...that's why I post hereI don't know how the be2 restore mod work but I think maybe camera can be fixed at same way? I like to use a customized kernel but also a good camera

I'm on locked BL. I unlocked the bootloader before Ta backup tool exists. And yet the camera quality getting sucks day by day. Wondering what are those Sony Dev thinking by encouraging us to Dev and yet in sacrifices of some essential features.

I'm not concerned about Bravia. I'm asking about the noise.
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk

I can't see exactly why it's happening, there's no calls to anything in the TA when pictures are taken, but it's definitely happening.
I've gone back and forth between unlocked/restored TA and there's quite a bit of noise, but the only calls are to the image processing, unless that is calling a drm that isn't there.

The drm keys have something to do with the new image processing algorithm I believe.

Bionz image processor relies on DRM?

Does the bionz for mobile relies on TA And DRM Keys or it's built inside the camera?

Its integrated in drm but a diff software if you unlock bl you will lose it

Image processor for the camera according to what i understood.

Even with unlocked bootloader it should work... I have not got worse pictures than before unlocking..
It is hardware and the Bravia engine as an example is software...

Yeah. It's a piece of hardware, not a software. So it will continue work.
To test, you just need to shoot a photo in a reaaaaaally dark room or outside the night, without any light. (Disable the flash)
Now go to the photo proprieties, look at the ISO... If is 6400 is working.

Dear friend I have unlocked my boot loader and now i'm on custom kernel 108
BionZ shouldn't work for me but with the method you said i can get 6400 iso
I think we should capture pics in room with half light if we get purple noise this means bionZ is not working

My Z1 has locked bootloader, on stock 4.4.4 (.157) Sony Firmware. Whatever I do, the max ISO that I can get is 3200, according to the details of the image. why is it so? Also, as far as I know, only the Z3 has the ability to get ISO 6400.

Me too, I was on Locked Bootloader and never saw a bit of difference in image quality. Also is not the X-Reality only reported missing but even Bionz Processing, so if you are really concerned about this you can try this kind of fix...

I didn't said it was not working on Locked Bootloader, I just said I did not saw any difference so I was never bothered to check after Unlock Bootlader if the X-Reality still working. It's a tweek for improve the image quality but only on phone, if you put your picture on PC there will be no more X-Reality so to me this kind of tweeks are useless. My only concern is Bionz Processing as this really can compromise the quality of your pictures.
You are on Unlocked Bootloader so if you want check, see the link I posted or type on XDA Fix X-Reality, maybe I missing something.

It is because there is no difference..

Placebos i would say. An image processing chip like Bionz for mobile is much needed in order to convert the cameras raw data and make it for instance a jpeg. This is how it works in all cameras. If that wouldn't be there then the camera wouldn't work at all. That was the case before 4.3 right?
I spoke to a Sony technician saying that "unlocking a bootloader won't change the phone, but custom software will and that might brick your phone" he admitted that they've had problems before 4.3 but that has been solved now. And I had to pull that out of him kinda. I asked alot of questions that people kinda just speculate about because I want hard facts. He wasn't that keen on saying much more but I gave him my email address anyway.
Interprete this how you want, I don't wanna be held responsible for anyone might bricking their phones. Just forwarded what's told to me.

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.
