Hello guys!
I modified the deodexed Background Defocus app to make it installable on phones that aren't rooted.
Enjoy!
You might get an occasional UI bug but that's not fixable for now. App should still work fine and I've only encountered it once so far.
Just download and install like any APK:

Working for me, even though rooted, :thumbup:
Only thing is after taking a photo, and applying the effect, doesn't go back to take another.? Weird. I have to exit out and start again.
EDIT: found another way, change resolution..

Try to make sure your subject is away from the background, and keep the camera steady.
This one took me 3 attempts
Cup is approximately 30cm from background, I was about 50 cm away.
Sent from Z Beast
Really? Is it that hard?
I took this with one attempt and worked perfectly.
The interesting finding is that if you use this mode to capture, the picture is much sharper and file is slightly bigger.

Yeah, may be.
The trick is if you noticed, it takes two pictures. So you got to wait another second or two for that to complete.
Very cool. Sony Cyber-shot cameras have same (but with better quality) functional.
thx. a lot man!!!!
working perfect!
Can you do it for timeshift too, infoeye allready can be installed on non root device. Timeshift left.

Auni presents the "Xperia Z Theme". This is based on the recent leaked official wallpaper of Xperia Z.

Keep backup of the original files.
Reboot [Optional]
For Download Go here
ROM Devs are requested to put my name in credit line in-case you include this theme in your ROM.
May NOT WORK PROPERLY IN Xperia V [According to one user]
Thank you good work
Thank you perfect work !!! )))))))))
Before trying this out, did you do something with the files compared to the Xperia S theme?
Because I tried out the files in the XS-thread, and it was awful how it looked on my XV.
I'm assuming that you did, but I'm still asking
Edit: The downloadlink is linked to the XS-thread, so I'm taking back what I just wrote.
Now I'm assuming that nothing is fixed, and that the menu still looks bad?
I'll try it out first and report back ofcourse.
Edit2: It still has the same bug as earllier.
The menu background is bugged. Its not wide enough, so where the scroll is it loops the background. Looks horrible.
Also the quality on the background is baaaad. Its way too bright and the overall quality (resolution) seems to be low.
Am I really the only one experiencing this?
Since there has allready been a few comments here saying there isnt anything wrong with it. I'm not using CM or anything. I'm using a tweaked stock ROM running 4.0.4
Great work.
Can i keep old themes 2?
Well I am not sure exactly what bug you are talking about. Xperia S and Xperia V has got similar size of screen and i am not facing any trouble while scrolling. Post in the XS thread, may be others can help there.

Well.. no, they dont actually.
The technical size is the same, but the XS got an physical bottombar with back \ home \ applications. While the XV got the software bottombar.
So the resolution used is smaller on the XV. I'm only guessing this is why it doesnt work properly.
I'll reinstall it yet again to show you a screenshot on how it looks on the XV.

In the Xperia S thread someone suggested a solution, try that for Xperia V.
That was happening to me as well. I changed the "framework" folder permission to rwxr-xr-x , rebooted the phone and it solved the issue. I hope it can help you too. by ChFriedli
Just tried that out. No luck. I still believe it is because the XS got a different actual screensize compared to the XV

Xperia V takes up some space for the on screen button at the bottom that Xperia s doesn't. But I guess the theme shouldn't be a problem because of the same pixel resolution. Did my theme had any similar issue?

@ dmbardal: Check here, I have enabled on screen navigation button in my Xperia S but i don't see any distortion in the theme background. I am not sure, but i guess may be something is not right from your end.

How do I get the clock in the center of the task bar?
very nice and so easy to install!
thanks man for this. with XZ launcher and themes its XZ all the way
So Facebook Home have been annonced. Looks pretty nice to me!
To break down the question:
"Will Facebook Home run on the Xperia Z?"
I can't see why not?
And what about you guys? Are ya' going to give it a try?
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
It might not be compatible "out of box" so you might see "your device is not compatible" message in Play Store. I'm sure they will make it work pretty soon unofficially - and remember that Sony signed up for FB Home program so official support for Sony devices will come soon, even if it won't be supported at launch.
As for the second question, no I won't use it as I really don't like facebook and think it should die as soon as possible
Well for me: They can keep it - i don't want it
android notifications don't show in facebook home
no thanks
The first thing I did with my brand new Xperia Z was disabling Facebook and uninstall all the other social media garbage. So no, I won't try it 'cause I couldn't care less.

Hi all, is there any way to disable Superior Auto Mode on camera start-up? I would like it to start on "Normal" mode (green arrow in picture) since SAM is awful in low light situations and creates a grainy mess.

no idea... i just came back from a 4 days trip with my phone, best solution i could find is open the camera, put it in normal mode, than lock the phone with the lock key, next time when you unlock the phone (not with camera start up) you will go directly to camera on normal mode.
Thanks but I'm thinking of selling my ZR. Camera is just awful even my Galaxy Nexus took better pictures with just a 5mp camera. Didn't want an S4 but I guess it's the best phone right now. I have contracted Sony about their over processing and low headphone volume. Hopefully they issue an update or at least a reply. Or should I wait for a fix our maybe CM?

thats wierd, in my opinion the camera does a great job, pictures look good and sharp, colors are always nice and mostly white balance is fine.
i've had nokia N8 up untill now which had a great camera and i feel the ZR is not disapointing me.
about headphones are you sure the volume is low? i feel my head exploding if i put the volume to maximum... didn't feel it was low at all...

Sorry I meant the camera is bad in low light it's almost useless without the aid of additional light. I came from an HTC Amaze (aka HTC Ruby) that had a superb camera and the ZR feels like a downgrade. As for the volume. It's not as loud as my previous phones. I like loud music, specially when working out or mountain biking but I can live it it though

i would've thought it would be added to Sony Select camera apps rather than in a new firmware.
why make a separate camera add-on store and then not use it.
only guessing
personally id rather they made some good video camera apps. already alot of decent photo apps on the playstore but barely any good video camera apps.
During the CES live stream they said that background defocus was a Z1s exclusive.
But @niaboc79 has confirmed he'll port that apps once we get Z1x dump files.
And if we know and we know that he's developing for Z family of Xperias (we'll get his eXistenZ ROM) - we will get all of that and I'm sure many more aps and features from new devices...

Of course we get all this... c'mon patience guys. The Z1s is not even on the market, they sell it from the 22nd on (update: looks like some shippings are done).
We will have KitKat, a better Camera App and a whole bunch of updates and so on and on and on. Time by time.
Meanwhile why you just don't enjoy this awesome phone?

hit thanks if works
also i have take video with this app but i didnt upload
sorry for bad topic
it sounds great, but the link of the apk doesn't work
Link doesnt work, attach it to post or set to gdrive. Some people just doesnt like unknown upload sites
I see that you used libs from other forum, it would be nice if you add link to original topic.
Also having working app and having good results are two different things, so maybe you could post sample or at least post info from it(framerate, bitrate, res etc.)
As I said in other topic, technically XZ is capable to record 120fps videos. Oppo Find 5 have the same chip and camera sensor like XZ, and it record slomo videos, but Sony just didnt implement it, and none of Devs knew how to port this from oppo or fix it. Its just one of many Sony fails :]
link repaird sorry for late
and akinaro sony xperia z can record 60frame in slowmotion and this app recording 60frame
And that's why it not real time shift /slomo video.
Video should be recorded at minimum of 100fps to get good results.
At stock 60fps you can just record normal video and slow it down with any video app.
Later I'm gonna try this mod, but I don't expect anything special because of that limitation that sony made without a reason.
