Camera doesn't focus after updating to oficial rooted 4.4 - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After I instaled this the phone works perfectly but the official sony camera app (any camera app in fact) doens't focus. When I press the camera button (physical or touch) it tries to focus but it never focus so it gets hang, but the phone works, and the camera continues showing everything, but it just never take the photo so I have to turn off the screen.
Thanks in advanced!!

please read the thread of the rom you linked to
I am sure the answer is in there, no need to ask in a whole new thread...

I searched in thread and I did find someone with my problem, but it wasn't answered and as I am not able to reply in that post I created a new thread here :S

I have exactly the same problem, haven't found a solution yet... So I'm running 4.3 at the moment. Lots of great ported mods from 4.4, so visually not a big difference. But I want the performance of Kitkat as well. There's a new firmware certified, so hopefully it fixes the issue. It's not Googles 4.4.2 that is the issue, I have tried Carbon rom and the camera works perfect with it. So Sony has messed up in some way.

That's a shame!! How can Sony bring a bad update like that
Anyone having this problem too?

This comes from unlocking the bootloader. Hope you made ta backup. If you made it close by with it. Kamera schould work.

This comes NOT from unlocking the bootloader!! A friend of mine had the same issue and he took the OTA to KitKat!!!
NO ROOT , NO unlocked bootloader !!!!

@TiRaNog Had this exact same issue, i'm guessing that when you upgraded you chose a stripped FTF?
I did the same and had an issue from the off.
What to do is to revert back to 534 (back up first) re-root and flash a recovery, then update to a 757 rom but instead of using a stripped FTF file use the full one for your region / model.
Reverting to 534 could make you lose your IMEI, but this will come back once you install 757.
Not sure why this happens but this fixed it for me so I'm guessing it's worth a try.

In my case was just that. I flashed my locked TA backup and the camera worked again!!
Thanks!

Try reverting back to .534 (with full wipe), then flash .757 again (full wipe again). If camera doesn't work, do it again. This worked for me.
No idea on why it worked, though. The flash process on this device appears to be less deterministic than a simple "dd" (as it was on older Samsungs), looks like it can have a different result each time.

Same here.. Had cam focus problem.. Exactly as said in opening post.. So i tried second last version, full wipe, and it worked, again after full wipe including internal storage, installed latest version of rom, and the prob is back again, then decided to check with ta restore( had taken a kk version of ta backup earlier) and after ta restore, tada, cam works again... So to be concluded, sony, as did earlier( remb the non working cam after unlock), messed up the cam again, and linked it with ta partion( u will get that focus value error aftet ta partion check( see in logcat for clearing urself) and the value is not passing properly, so cam hangs ( this is caused by a library,which supports cam, dont remb that name now,but u can get it in logcat, also may try a fix( i haven't tried it, becoz i just like to keep bootloader locked, to get the better cam), u need to copy the same binary from second last version of kitkat rom ,which had no such error, and replace.it with the one on current rom.

(Discussion Thread) CM10 (Xperia T)

This is a general discussion thread for "Cyanogen Mod 10 (CM10)" for the Sony Xperia T (LT30p) aka "Mint"
Original Dev Thread Here
This is NOT for cm10.1 (4.2+ JB). A discussion thread for 10.1 is HERE
Credit to FXP team Bin4ry, Defer, Kali, Jerpelea
Also credit is due to many other Devs for their tireless work on CM and specifically for Sony devices including but not limited to:
Codeworkx, Androxyde, DoomLord, tilal6991, Entropy512....This list could go on but I'll stop here for now - pm me if you think i should add specific people.! (I don't actually know who all these wonderful people are!!!)
I have mailed people from time to time and found everyone here at XDA to be very helpful, but I have also seen people asking the same questions as me, just in the wrong places or without searching.
So this thread, like any other of it's kind, is just to try and direct a bit of this traffic away from the Development thread.
Please use this thread to ask questions, share knowledge or just state an opinion - so long as you are not inconsiderate, condescending or outright rude - anything goes!
We would all welcome insights and advice from seasoned users or indeed veteran developers, although FXP will most likely not read this often, if ever - so please don't ask them direct questions here!
Personally I don't know much at all about CM10, I am only on my 2nd smartphone having come from an Xperia X10 running CM7.2 - so I hope to learn stuff here too!
Thread Basics:
~~can I install this rom with a locked Bootloader~~ ~~NO~~
~~can you tell me when **** will be fixed~~ ~~NO~~
~~slow download, can you mirror?~~ ~~NO~~
~~can i use sony launcher/timescape/fb intergration on this ROM~~ ~~NO~~
~~can I ask a question?~~ ~~YES~ as someone once told me "Posing a question per se is not stupid. Posing a stupid question is"
Always back-up your current ROM
Nobody here is responsible if you mess your bond phone up, all ROM's, even the best ones, are used at YOUR OWN RISK
Logs, Screen shots, ROM version, apps used or conditions underpinning any questions usually result in quicker answers!

FAQ:
1 where can I download the latest FXP release? download page on FXP site
2 How do I install? FIRST TIME : Follow this instruction
information about flashtool, fastboot, cwm recovery are widely available. you could Start here
__ 2.a If you already have unlocked your bootloader (which you will need to have done to use CM10 Duh!) AND already have a working Recovery, you only need to use the "install from SD card" option in recovery to install this Rom - thanks to schaggo for pointing this out. However:
__ 2.b It is known that if you are coming from a Stock based ROM you will probably need to format your SD card(s), apart from being time consuming this is not a big deal - just have a back-up of your card contents on your computer, format your card(s) from within the rom or with recovery, then copy your contents back to your card(s)
3. Where do I get Gapps? Try here, you need a 4.1 apps file
4. What is CM, where can I find out about it? Start here and use google for further information.
5. Where can I find more info about FXP? Here is their homepage
6. Where is the Changelog? Here, lists current release and progress for all supported devices
7. How do I report a bug? Here, device, release and issue will be useful information
More to be added as and when...

Good initiative! I installed CM10 after one month of using original ROM and after almost 2 weeks of CM10 I can say it was a wise decision. I am on FXP 150 and most of the issues are fixed. Still waiting for NFC (though I don't have the tags yet) but everything else is OK. What I miss is the original Album app of Xperia T from latest firmware. I tried to install it but it's not working for me (run the installer, the app is not seing the sd card, through CWM or copy to /system/app and changing the permissions, the app stops). Anyone tried? Any hints on how to make it working?
Battery is OK but I am using Google maps that is eating 40-50% of it. Any hints on how to decrease this and still use Maps?

I will update posts 2&3 in the next couple of days, especially with any fixes that are found for things like album..
I would also suggest checking out other Xperia forums of cm10 for app ports, for example the S forum might have already managed it, I just haven't had time to check!!

Ok, If this is not answered soon i will re-flash cm and check - i suspect there is an option in CMsettings, also is possible with apps like titanium backup.

have you formatted your SD card for use with CM? I read that people were having problems with ext.sd card storage and that you needed to back-up your files, wipe and format card in cwmRecovery and then transfer your files back - then you should be able to move apps to SD

Hello all.
Quick question about flashing the kernel.
When I first installed the rom I used the fastboot.exe in command prompt to install the boot.img file as per instruction on op.
Am I right in thinking if there's an update to the kernel I don't need to go through that process again because it will be flashed in cwm with the rom? Or will we be told to flash the new kernel using fastboot.exe in the changelog?
Cheers,
Lunar.

You usually are told when there is a new kernel to flash, changelog will say something about kernel update.
Cwm does not flash kernel, only Rom

Thanks for the info.
I just thought I remembered when I had the x10 the fxp were trying to work out a way of flashing kernels without flash mode. It was quite a risky process though.
Also it looked like fxp151 had a different boot.img to the one included in fxp148 (the first one I flashed), so I flashed the boot.img again from the later release and it had 141212 as the date.
Maybe just me.
Cheers for the info.

No problem, I too came from x10, I remember I think fxp bricked one by trying it!
Sent from my LT30p using xda app-developers app
Auf few questions:
Fxp is not official Cm10 right?
Where is the official thread with a buglist / changelog of the stable Cm10 Version for example?
On get.cm I can download nightlies every day and the stable version too but I have no idea who is working on it and how the process is going...
I'm a bit confused since I thought codeworkx and others own this phone and are working in Cm10 support??

"Invert" display on Sony Xperia TX

Hello xda users,
I think i know a method to solve the problem with "Invert" display on SXTX
Story:
Around 2-3 months ago when i bought my SXTX i started to flashing the phone with various ROMs till i tried the Sony Xperia T Rom on TX... i did smtg wrong and my phone's screen got invert 360 degree.
I tried to find a way to solve the problem, read the russian and english forums but nothing helped me. The phone was brand new with warranty so my last chance was the service center, thats why i accurately flashed back my phoe to all stock then send to market where i bought and i was lucky because they said that the phone is "Brack" therefore they send me a new phone!
After a long time, today im flashed my phone, root, cwm... then installed Xposed framework and i think i find a way to solve the previous problem with "Invert display".
How:
- You have SXTX!
1.You need to root the phone (SuperSU)... i know its a bit hard cause everything is invert but its possible (i did this a lot of times)
2. Install Xposed framework.
3. Go to Xposed framework, press Framework then install update. You need to get this:
4. Press reboot
5.Go again to Xposed, press Download and find "Gravity Box (JB)". Download it and install, then go back to main many of Xposed and press Modules and check the "Gravity Box", then go to Framework and reboot.
6. You have GravityBox. Start it from appdrawer and press "Display tweaks" and as you can see there is an option called "Allow all rotation" - check it!
7. The last step to rotate your phone in your hand to 360 degree!!! (Normal position)
I need testers! Hope there is no one!!!
My phone now have no this problem, no invert display so i cant test it, but im sure that it will work!!!
I can not test because I have a working Xperia T, but I doubt it would work.
The allow all rotations option allow the rotation to 180 degree (bloked by default). If your tx screen was inverted it looks like a gravity sensor problem.

no it is not sensor problem.... and i have fully working normal TX.... this problem ocure only on TX models...
This method allow all rotations.... if you test it on you phone you will get not just side rotation but upside down to.... i tried it today and i can use the phone upside down
Yes I know. I was trying to say exactly that (sorry for my poor english)
I thought the initial problem was a sensor problem. Whereas thank you for the information.

Well done~I have heard of another way:
1.Flash any CM ROM
2.Add this line to build.prop
Code:
ro.sf.hwrotation=180
3.Reboot and see if it works...

Yeah, i know this method! But for this you need to Unlock the bootloader... and this working only with CM ROMs, if you do this it is not mean that if you flash back the stock Sony ROM it will be good, but it still be invert!
Good method, but need UB so waranty gone! and only CM using!

Stock/Pure Android on Z1? ["Solved"]

Hi!
I was wondering, is it possible in some way to download the latest Android version from Google servers and somehow install the Nexus image on Z1?
I love my Z1, but I really, really, don't need the Sony stuff on it (Yeah, I'm a purist). All i need to function is the camera (and of course the necesseties like WLAN, BT, making a phonecall etc, but I assume these are "standard" drivers that will work?)

There's no way to cross flash other devices firmware. What you can do is root your phone and just delete the sony stuff you don't need.

I don't have problems with the 10.2.26 EEA either.
Try flashing the whole rom instead of just the OTA, that might solve problems without losing data.
- I couldn't flash or download the OTA due to root, flashing the whole rom in TWRP did upgrade.
>> You don't need to be unlocked or rooted to flash the whole rom <<
It's available on XDA somewhere

Same problem, I voted this https://en.miui.com/thread-6922405-1-1.html
Today I upgraded to the stable official version 10.2.27.0PFAEUXM and fixed the problem.
Yep for me it's fixed too! ?
