Hello Respected All
I've been browsing this Xperia Z1 forum for quiet sometime but haven't been able to reach to the crisp answer to two of my queries
1. I want my Z1 to be free of all the unnecessary bloatware I got pre-installed(I got my Z1 second hand and don't know about it's details, though it's a 4.4.2 upgraded thing with build number as 14.3.A.681 and at boot it displays a vodacom logo)
2. Primary reason to go for a Z1 was it's whopping 20.7 Megapixels things, though I derived it later I can get only 8 Megapixels in Superior Auto mode, switching it to manual increases the picture size by few MBs but the quality doesn't improve, Images in low light are grainy or smokey, can I somehow get full potential of 20.7 Megapixels from my Z1 camera in Superior Auto mode
Please also suggest what FTF should I choose for maximum performance and minimum bloat if I choose to flash my phone
Regards
Umer(Pakistan)

1- To de-bloat your phone just flash a Stock FTF for your model, C6902/3/6? To do so use the latest Flashtool v0.9.16. You can find the FTF in Mega Collection in General Section and download the General or International once.
2- The Image Quality, as reported, was improved with KitKat so if you are already on it there is no much to do, download the latest FW .757 or Root your phone and apply some tweeks to improve it with Framework Xposed and some modules (20mpx in Superior Auto) but I think you will not see much improvement, like I did.
Done.
20 Megapixels in Superior Auto, wana give it a try if you can kindly guide me

I apologise, I didn't look hard enough. Thanks for the help
Don't want to start a new thread so asking right here: what ROM has best quality of camera? Stock one (jb I mean, ics was much better) can't make me happy. Or should I try some kind of photo app?
Thanks a lot.

Best camera is stock Sony. No doubt about it

Try camera360. I can tell you other apps but you'd have to pay. Such as Camera FX. The stock app is pretty good at capturing but there arent much editing features.

Hey I have tested the port app from the Google edition HTC One (GS4) and it works like a charm on my Xperia Z with Android 4.2.2.
All functions including Photosphere work when accessed from the Gallery app. The Camera shortcut does crash sometimes. All you have to do is just download the APK and install it on your phone. It will not replace your stock camera app so you can just install it and use it as an alternative.
You can download it from this website: http://android.hdblog.it/2013/06/27...e-galleria-di-ones4-google-edition-per-tutti/
Or here is a Google Drive link: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1liTNaofBHRQTNHZzQ2V1YyaTQ/edit
Sorry if it is s stupid question but does this app give you any better pics? Specially when there is low light or night time...I get pathetic images on stock app during night time...red dots all over..

Top man. Works nicely. Confusing as hell to use though.
I played a little with photosphere app. Great app. But the picture quality is not very good when zooming.
I compare 2 photoshere from the same point (one with my Xperia Z, one with S4 not google edition).
The one from S4 is much more sharp than the one from Xperia Z. What a pity...
Alternative Camera App
Reckon I will give this one a shot in a little bit. Was trying to get the Honami Camera app to work last night after de-odexing new Stock ROM, but this might keep me content until Honami is updated for new Firmware. Nice One !:laugh:
This is a new camera application from Lenovo flagship set with maximum number of features including HDR.
"Lenovo Smart Camera software means enabling intelligent smile correction, auto face 'make-up' editing effects, and auto-exposure mode "
I'm amazed by the quality of the camera. Takes sharp and good pictures than our stock camera also no yellow/pink tint and smooth video recording and now that's what I call 1080p full hd
and also gallery has lot of editing features like beauty , special effects and I love gif creator.
All you say is wow after installing this app.
( If you don't know about lenovo flagship set " It is the device with 13mp camera with 1080p display and is powered by Intel".

Woah, it is sharp as mentioned and much lower noise than our Sony camera app. However, I couldnt find the setting to make it 16:9. May not be that big an issue, can always crop using editor. But the main thing is, this app by a china company interestingly beat the Japanese in terms of software.

did you shoot DNG's and then edit them, or the photos from the new app are jpg from the app itself ?
I don't found settings to choose JPG or DNG so I don't know but there are the original shoots, I don't made any change

shoot in 4:3 and crop your photo manually
There is an option for 16:9 in the resolution settings, but as rayiskon said, 16:9 mode just crops the 4:3 picture down to a 6 megapixel 16:9 image. Why not do it yourself, to fit the needs of each individual picture?
I am impressed with the pictures I've taken so far, I didn't expect the camera to perform better with Lollipop. It's a nice surprise =D

Sorry for maybe stupid question, but how did you get that new Lollipop camera? I'm using latest Lollipop preview (LPX13D) and have old camera app.
Maybe it's because I've gapps installed? If so, can someone upload APK of the new camera?

Yeah I'd have tested it myself, but I had a couple of bugs with some apps I really needed to use and didn't get to confirm this before switching back to 4.4.4. Maybe I'll do it today, I couldn't get the camera to work anyways so worst case this will either 1.) fix it 2.) do nothing.

16:9 would be nice. Obviously there will be no HDR + which I use mostly... Not sure if they'll do true HDR in the future.
i use the google camera and aosp camera. a better camera is good, since they started using the api2 with it. but it has an issue with focusing at the moment.
Manual Camera by GD Software is best overall camera. Worth every penny. You can find on App Store.
The camera for nexus is going to update with the new api's. You can Google it and its being developed on as we speak. Cheers

Using FV-5 for the RAW format captures if it's a photo I'll want to keep. Stock camera if I have to snap a photo to share on hangouts or FB.

Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app
I've read about Manual Camera and how there are a few major issues with it (no front camera access, no videos, no saving of settings etc) but the positives are very good too (fast, good control, RAW). With a few updates it could become the best camera for the Nexus 6.
Reports that Google are updating the camera aren't all that informative and I dont expect the stock Google camera to have dramatic changes in post-processing abilities, speed, options or anything else. They MIGHT add RAW, but then the post-processing of photos through the stock camera (as well as speed) do not compared to other cameras out there (especially on other phones...Note 4, 6+ etc.).
If I were anyone wanting a new camera experience, I'd keep an eye on Manual Camera.
I can't help but feel the RAW thing is a bit of a gimmick on a phone though, and I say that as someone who shoots exclusively in RAW.
The benefits of using RAW are negated by the relative lack of quality in the camera itself (Compared with a DSLR for example) so realistically, I think it's a catchy term that'll appeal to those who aren't a big fan of the stock camera.
