I just flashed AOSP roms and there are lot of noises when using the front cam?
Is that normal? Is there any 3rd party app for front facing camera?
Thanks.
Well i used an AOSP rom and i am using pac rom right now and the noise happened to me too. I just thought thats the way it is with these roms cause even the back camera has some issues. Go into settings on front camera and turn on HDR it will help, kinda destroys colours but there is no noise once you take the photo.

Sorry i am answering so late, i was so busy with my z1 and some stuff in real world. Yea colours are bad but thats the best, currently i am using ihackers 4.1 and doomkernel and the camera is better,front one is super nice, starts up just fine, no lags, like stock but improved. I used AOSB project before ihackers and this one is better, i just lost a few features like active display but thats fine. Liking it so far! Give it a try if you are on UB. If you need any help flashing just send me a PM and i will help you!

Did you tried the iHackers kernel?
Well yes i have, but still what i want to say is that for me, camera on pacman and other aosp roms is not so good, front one is super bad and super noisy why on ihacker rom and his kernel and on doomkernel camera works fine, i guess just stock sony app makes much more less noisy front camera photos. My english is not so good and i am sorry for it.
I was on PAC rom and also had super noise front cam. Now I tried iHackers rom (4.1), but front camera was still as noisy as on PAC rom. Do I have to do something special for the camera quality to improve?

Hello dear XDA peeps!
On my previous android phones I felt the need to root and and install other roms because they where slow and had so much crapware on them them but with the lovely Xperia Z I felt the need yet now I'm getting curious tho. Can the the be faster, have more features, better battery and such with a new rom? Will I notice any any changes?
Another question, I read that 4.3 is on its way, both the official and the CM one. How close is that?
Thanx in advance!
about the first question i dont know im still stock
and 4.3 i guess in 2 - 3 months

I don't think it will take that long. There is a working CM on 4.3 in ZL-forum.
Sony Xperia ZL C6503, rooted, 4.2.2 Stock
I wondering about the existing 4.3 roms now, wonder if they are worth trying?
The 4.3 superdroid rom works really well and the pac rom 4.3 is only a couple of days away.. All in all i have noticed battery life improvements the focal camera is superb and all the things you can tweak now a days is definitely worth leaving the stock experience behind and never looking back..
Sent from my C6603
I'm on a CM based ROM (Asylum), it's very smooth with no lags anywhere and the battery life is as good as stock with my usage pattern.
The only real downside is that the camera isn't that good compared to the Sony stock one. I've tried out the focal camera and am not that impressed in terms of image quality. Hopefully there will be some improvements.
Also, none of the sound mods work that well with CM ROMs.
I suggest stick to the Sony firmware for the time being if the sound and camera are important to you.
I don't think 4.3 will bring a vastly different user experience.
Edit: viper4android seems to be working on 4.2.2 and below. Haven't tried it though

Ok thanks for the info
Ive read about the sound improvement mods but Ive been to lazy to try any of them. Is there a big difference in sound quality from the non-modded stock rom and the sound mods??
Hi there,
I installed the Kitkat RUU on my Htc One. The ROM itself is very smooth, but I have one very big problem: The Android stock camera takes quite bad photos. As long as I'm just focussing, the picture quality is as fine as always. But when I actually take the photo, the quality is very bad. This happens to front and rear camera. I already tried Camera ZOOM FX, but I also have other problems with this app. I already tried to change the settings in both applications, but I can't get as sharp pictures as before. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Happens to me too, guess its because of GPE. Tried a 4.4 sense rom (on insertcoin you can choose to install the AOSP camera) and well, guess what happened? on both cameras (sense / AOSP) the quality is way better. Thats why i propably go to a sense rom. I dont really care about the GPE features (well, whats the most important? ART? the new dialer?.. well, art is broken and new dialer.. to be honest, when i call a number i know who i call, i dont need such stuff).
So either MIUI or a 4.4 sense rom is my suggesstion

Hello guys,
i just looked a video about the htc ones slow motion function. I^ve tried it with the cyanogenmod 11 build in camera, but it crashes when i chose hdr and i cant find the slowmo function, so i`m looking for the htc ones stock camera app. Ive already tried to search it via google but without any results. Are there any possibilitys to install the 4.3 stock Camera on cm 11?
Thanks a lot!

Sorry to disappoint, but this is not possible. The HTC Camera app uses code that is a part of HTC's Sense UI. Without a stock Sense Rom, you cannot install the Sense Camera, which is a shame.
The biggest problem is that the code related to the camera app is not open source, so Devs cannot really use it to port the app to AOSP/CM roms.
Hopefully some genius dev will be able to replicate the function of the required code, and port over the camera, but it is not really a priority for any of them right now.

oh, well, i allready thaught so..
it seems, that the camera app is a vergy good work from htc. As i heard, it comes with the best slowmo quality until now.. what should i do now? are there any better ways then taking the stock rom? I really like the design of 4.4 , but the batterylife decrease slightly. I think i would take a custom rom with sense, so i can delete some stock roms. Is that possible?

I think you meant you would delete/replace some of the stock apps on a rooted Sense rom... Am I correct?
If so, yes. I personally would vouch for ViperOne. The team is super amazing. They have quick, over-the-air updates, and their rom is rock solid stable.To delete apps, you can use Rom Cleaner (just search the XDA forums in the general android development) I can provide links 2morrow when I get back home bcoz my phone doesn't show the XDA search bar lol.
But an even better approach than removing apps yourself is to Use Eragon Rom. I have a link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2423492&highlight=eragon
The developer removed the sense launcher and everything, but kept some apps like the camera, gallery, dialer, and sound equalizer. It is pretty smooth, and tbh, the Dev is a nice, helpful guy.
Hope I helped

I do believe Eragon has the HTC gallery app as well. In fact, I am sure, because it supports HTC Zoe, which requires the HTC gallery.
As we all know, the AOSP camera and even the Google Camera take horrible pictures on the LG G2 running CM11. I was wanting to hear opinions on what people are finding to be the best solution for a better camera on AOSP ROMs, whether it be the stock LG G2 camera in some form or something else. I've seen a lot of apk's and zip's floating around in the past with mixed reviews. This solution seems to have current active users:

The camera is the only thing holding me back from AOSP. I can't do without xdabbeb camera mod.

I'd love to see something similar on AOSP. His camera mod is that good that it's become a deal breaker for me. I won't use any ROM that doesn't support xdabbeb's camera mod. I'm currently using his ROM. He's got the mod baked right into the ROM. I do miss that AOSP goodness though. What do you recommend for a really stable ROM? I may set one up and make a Nandroid so I can switch back and forth. My biggest pet peeve about Stock ROMS is the lack of Quick Unlock. It's the little things, haha.

Haha yeah I have to say that the LG ROM's lockscreen drove me up a wall very quickly, and the CM11 lockscreen options have been a huge relief. It's such a shame you kinda have to choose between a stellar camera and the buttery smoothness of AOSP. LG's whole UI is like nails on a chalkboard for me. No matter how much I tried to cover it up with launchers, Google Keyboard, lockscreen customization, etc. it always seemed to be like putting lipstick on a pig.
That being said, I recently updated my CM11 nightlies from 4/11 to 5/10 and the stability difference is night and day. 4/11 had several SoDs per day among other random hickups. 5/10 has been steady as a rock. I should also note that I initially flashed 5/11, and the incallui process just would just crash so that was a bit of an issue to say the least, but 5/10 has been great. I'm fairly certain these nightlies require the 12b radios though so just be mindful of that if you've updated to the 24a radios.
I've also read great things about the stability of JackpotCalvin's CM11 based on the 4.4.2 OTA over here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2702958
But the flashing process is pretty intense, so I think I'll just wait until CM officially releases a build based on the 4.4.2 OTA.
Let me know if you end up trying any of the CM11 ROMs!

Hello everyone!
As i know SLIMM is the best ROM for this device. But now it is discontinued, so there is the question: is it still the best?
And please owners of this device who tried different ROMs, give the advice, which one should I install (i want to install stock based custom MM ROM).
For me in priority is functionality, stability and performance coupled with good battery life.
So I have a question about kernel: should I install EliteKernel 3 instead stock kernel (or maybe Advanced Stock kernel)?
I'm not a newbie, but there are really a lot of ROMs and i'm a bit confused...
Also, are there some good MODs for this device(like Cyberian Camera)?
P.S. Sorry for my not ideal english.

I use Concept Plus ROM with the Kernel 12c custom kernel.
Having an amazing experience with it so far.
The only problem I have is bluetooth headphones but if you dont use bluetooth accessories this shouldn't matter much.
For camera mods I use Cyberian(yes even if not compatible).
Even though it ain't compatible part of it does work,the camera app which comes with the mod doesn't work but everything else does. The camera snaps photos much faster and overall better quality.

Mate Concept ROM Plus is based on Sony's Concept Software,it is theoretically stock.
But between those I would go Existenz.

Well I haven't used it personally but I believe it was definitely the most popular and best ROM for Z2 before it was ported to Z3c.
It has lots and lots of customization options as you may have saw.
And by reading the thread replies from all of these ROMs,I have saw that people don't really complain much about issues regarding ExistenZ rom.
The best way to know is to try it out,create a backup and flash the ROM,if it ain't working well revert back to your backup and you are solid.
Concept Rom may sometimes get weird. By that I mean it had the lollipop's YouTube and Video Recording issue, though that can be fixed by changing some system file parameters. I used Concept and I loved the design, stock Google design and I loved it. I've used SliMM for ages. Whenever I tried a new ROM I just had to revert back to SliMM. Because it has the best battery life for me with the best performance. I'm using ExistenZ ROM now, hadn't have any issues but to be honest, battery life is worse than SliMM also the performance too (even though a little bit). I'm using ExistenZ right now because it has many customizations in itself which means lack of many xposed modules, which means (somewhat) better stability. I'm thinking of reverting back to SliMM though, FYI. I tried the EXPERIENCE ROM too. And it was a total disaster for me. Because I didn't like the modifications that Marilia has made into the ROM and I simply couldn't live with it, the phone felt a bit too childish. All in all, the best was always SliMM for me. If you have any question, shoot it mate! (I haven't tried the MX ROM)

I am using Experience and i like it. Even adoptable storage shows free space right. Battery is good, about 2 days with 5 hours screen on time. Supersu update from playstore works fine. Very good and stable rom. I have tested AOXP and MX rom. Both works but Experience was easy to make look like stock with 16 GB adoptable storage.

The only proper answer for this question is and will ever be: Try them and find it out for your own.
You are already know the four candidates and now its up to you... All four are working. None of them is a failure!
As you see from the given answers everyone has other preferences and whishes.
There is no better or not here...
But if you want to:
Try all four ROMs, use each for one week and make a Rundup of them. Sure - this will reflect only your optinion in particualr but may help other to decide. As faar as I know such an comparrision is not existing up to now.
Actually this is want you are askiung for...

I'm glad that there is choice between good ROMs. Maybe I will make a comparison later when I recieve replacement parts for my Z3c (if I really won't know which ROM to install).
Does EliteKernel 3 have better performance then Stock or other?
