Please help, I updated my Sony xperoa 4.2.2 to 4.3 and since then, the video camera has not been functioning well. The camera works fine but each time I want to make a video, it tells me unknown error.

By what did you upgraded your firmware from 4.2.2 to 4.3? Sony PC Companion, OTA, or you flash FTF file with flashtool?

can you say properly???
Stock Android v4.2 means original Google,not made by Sony
so you want Xperia Z .307 camera app for .434 firmware?
why you don't upgrade your phone to this firmware?
and not the app related,some system files changed maybe.

im currently playing with the camera app of .307 and at the moment its working fine with my .434 firmware
what i did is download the .307 tft and extracted the SemcCameraUI.apk from system/apps and the media_profiles from system/etc.
i backup everything and replaced the files from .307. and after i copy the SemcCameraUI.apk to system/apps click the SemcCameraUI.apk and press install.
As far as i noticed on my phone the camera app opens faster ( in my opinion )
tactuses some

are you sure we don't need also camera common, semccamera3D or other files to get full camera stock feartures of .307?
thank you for sharing your good idea to get new camera firmware, waiting for root-retain complete .307 OTA

I understand. Unless you don't want to upgrade your Android version, and I don't see any possibility of porting it back to latest camera that we're having now in 4.3

Camera Help

Hi all friend... my xperia sp camera not working very well image quality as like china mobile on i checked HDR and all other option and many camera softwares but same problem in 4.3.... when i downgrade 4.2 so camera working very great can someone tell me why camera working great in 4.2 when i update 4.3 so camera not working well ... please need this help ....
The camera of the Xperia SP is not that good Some options you can consider:
- Try manual mode
Some settings you could try:
~ ISO; I dont have it on auto... I always play with it
~ SCN; Some do work a bit better than others. Play with it
~ Don't use superior mode
- Use another Camera app
Other than that we can not do much.
~~ Regards
Important

I have experienced that as well after installing a new rom. But a reboot fixed it. I am realising that I am not really helping you, but I guess I am saying that is could be a software problem.

Well I'm not sure about that but... It's may be a hardware issue. If you tried multiple ROMs so it's could be hardware issue

Who knows, but all the 4K and timeshift mods in the Z1 theme section say they require a deodexed rom.

Dont listen to people who havent tried it. Yes, you can, my Z1 is not deodexed, but I can install 4k etc without any problem...almost every port says "you must have deodexed"....well then explain to me how i can install everything without deodexing......plus, which is even more funny, recently i downloaded the Xperia E3 firmware, and very strange, because on specifications of the phone, there is no 4k video, in the firmware i found an already deodexed apk of the 4k and timeshift video app....so i installed it, and it works like a charm

Thanks for your answer. I don't know why, but I couldn't install 4k and thimeshift on my stock rom but I flashing again stock and can install all perfect
try this ROM! it works for both locked/unlocked bootloaders... i can confirm it allows 4k recording and 120fps slow motion recording..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/development/rom-dstrikerz1-kai-rom-1-0-t2928666
you also need to download SomcMovieCreator.apk for the 120fps
hope this helps!
It is not necessary to be deoxed. I have K.K. .108 rooted stock rom with
1. Xposed framework: http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.ro...osed.installer
2. Serajr Xperia Xposed (KK) http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.serajr.xperia.xposed.kk with activated Super User Mode and
3. installed 4K-HFRv1.3.zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2786475&stc=1&d=1402194839.
All works great.
It's not mandatory to deodex, but I must say that deodexing can enable you to install the SuperUserMod and NOT use the Xperia Framework and the Serajr Xperia Xposed (KK)
Using the SuperUserMod will make the camera mod a lot more responsive and you won't get as much of the error "Camera not available". It starts a lot faster and it seems more stable.
So, it's up to you, but deodexing is easy as pie
only downpart, seems like it breaks the OTA updates.
Yes you can just get root and superisermod and flash it or install it manually I recommend fx file manager
Use these http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2914804
thanks for topic, I've just install done
