[REQ]Sony Camera for Custom ROM

Hey i have a question Is it possible to use the normal stock sony camera App, while usig the Paranoid rom?
I really love this rom but the stock google cam takes really ****ty pics

Hey,
Firstly, I believe the Sony camera would require the Sony framework...so no - you wouldn't be able to use that camera on a non-Sony based rom.
Secondly, there's a Paranoid Rom for the Xperia Z??
:good:
Edit: Found the PA thread.

Is there a Sony Camera port that will work on Custom Roms?

Is there a Sony Camera port that will work on Custom Roms that is not based on Sony Stock Firmware? i want to try different roms but i need the sony camera..

Not possible

Can I port the official stock camera framework to aosp?

I want to install aosp rom to my phone because of all of the stock passed issues. But I know that aosp roms have terrible camera framework, can I port the stock based one to aosp.
I see for some other Xperia phones they already did that.

Questions for custom rom users

I have a few questions to the various custom rom users for this phone.
Right now I am using stock rooted rom. The features I need most are the stock camera app which I really like, as well as the various slow motion options (regular slomo+ super slomo).
The one feature I want most that does not work on rooted stock is screen mirroring (which starts and then fails due to HDCP issues caused by loss of DRM on bl unlock).
So, my questions are:
Do any of the custom roms include both of these options? (Tested by users. For example screen mirroring option exists in stock and existenz, but I don't know if it works. If any existenz users can confirm this to be working, that is enough for me)
I don't want to flash a rom just to test, because I'm afraid that I might not be able to set up the working camera on stock again. (In case the needed features don't work as required)
If not,
Can I flash sony camera on a custom rom? I remember seeing a magisk or xposed module for sony framework, but I can't find it now and I don't know if that is updated to current framework and apps or not.
If flashable, will the stock camera features work?
To be honest, if I could relock the bl and just use the vanilla stock I would do that, but... not an option on Sony unfortunately.
Thanks all
p.s- Is there a whatsapp group for this phone?

currently stock is the best for camera and screen mirroring won't work with existenz since it is a stock rom patch to give you more customization you can join sodp and existenz group on telegram links should be in this forum

Just curious - why does a stock rom patch make mirroring not work?

Custom ROM camera quality will raise each month.
In certain conditions we already have a better quality.

GCam on stock kernel based ROM using AOSP camera blobs. Is it possible?

Hi,
I would like to ask if anyone tried to make AOSP camera blobs work on stock kernel based ROM on XZ1 Compact?
Is it possible? Are there any problematic points known in advance which I missed?
If I am not mistaken that would allow us to use GCam (Google Camera) on stock kernel based ROMs such as LineageOS 15.1/16.
I know currently those blobs are compiled against different kernel version (Sony stock - 4.4, Sony AOSP - 4.9) but for some time both used kernel 4.4.
Best regards

Has anyone used AOSP kenel version 4.4 based custom ROM with Google Camera (gcam)?
I wonder whether it would be possible to use AOSP camera blobs/drivers instead of stock ones in order to be able to use gcam with stock blobs/drivers based custom ROM (such as LineageOS 16.0).
Unfortunately, I don't have the XZ1 or XZ1 Compact to test it out by myself.
