Change the "flick" camera app?

Is there any way to change which camera app is activated with the wrist flick?

Only stock camera will work, its embedded in the camera apk AFAIK

I've only gotten the camera to launch twice using the flick. I also have a camera icon in my PIN lock screen that doesn't seem to do anything.

Camera flash

The camera flash of the Z1 is somewhat disapointing. Is it posible to brighten it up some with a tweak or something or is it purely a hardware problem?

It is no problem with the flash. That's how bright the led is.

I heard about some app to tweak the camera flash but really not to do that because you will damage the led. So my advice is to keep it in that way. Still just a phone anyway and on daylight you still make awesome pictures.

Increase your screen time out setting or try reinstalling the android software from Sony Update Service. Maybe one of the camera applications files have been corrupted or something

Thanks I'll try both of those

i just find out that the hdr is doing nothing on my stock camera.can someone explain please why? i know that the HDR pictures are more colorful with stronger color and bigger iso...i think.

Stock HDR on every phone is much less colorful then filters applyed after image processing.
It makes difference but not so big as filters from other apps.

Low FPS video on front camera in low light

For some reason whenever I try to take a video on the front camera I'm low light it stutters and lags. I have tried multiple camera apps. Has anyone else experienced this before?

This is kind of disappointing how poorly the front facing camera functions.

I don't think so, but the lag in low light is pretty bad, maybe down to 12fps when it's really bad

the same problem here, but I noted using the Open Camera app I dont have that problem, but with the Moto Camera (original) and Google Camera app, it gets laggy.
