huge diffrence between taken photos!!!WHY??? - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

we all know if we unlock the bootloader we will lose the bionz
i've unlocked mine and lost it..but a few days before i was trying diffrent roms..flashed .757 FTF and took a few photos with it then flashed the 157 and customized it.....
last night i was viewing my album and saw the photos i took with 757
no bloody noise!!!!!
the noise was gone!!
pure black...i said maybe it got fixed or something but after i took the same photo in the same sitution with this 157 rom the noise was back!!!
why does the bionz work on 757 but not woeking in 157??
both FTF had the TA partion included
any idea???
is there any way make it work on this rom to?

haha well, yea sony is generous on 757 that left it useful for xda genius to make this thing........

already tried it....no diffrence...flashed it on unlock BL And Locked both
nothing..the noise is still there..
is there any hope that sony make it work on lollipop again like 757?
and i think it got even worse after flashing that zip!!!

I've come across .757(locked and unlocked) to .108(unlocked) and .157(unlocked) but I've backup TA partition before unlock, maybe I will restore the TA to test again later.
In my experiences, in 4.4.2(757) the noise should be lesser but 4.4.4(108/157) partly fixed camera overheating and photo comes out sharper with better focus which meant the denoise algorithm is tuned down and .157 further fixed camera unavailable problem. It's not worth to go back .757 just for less noise, you've to pay for it. Less noise = softer image. The low-light algorithm in bootloader should only be kick-in in high ISO like 800 or even higher, normal usage is little to none different.

If you want better photo in .157, just flash Chocolatetrain's mod camera V8 from Z2 ported, the different is large. The stock camera in Z1 is no good in all ver.

I believe .757 may used a stronger denoiser but it is also possible your camera got some problem and generated more noise because only you complaint it here. I'm on .157 unlocked with V8 cam mod, within 400ISO range or good lighting indoor, I don't see that much of a different.
The V8 mod should be for .108/.157 but I've heard it also working on .757 but no promise.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2779393
This one older 4K mod is for .757, should be better to flash it.

How can the old framework have better camera than the new one?
I just can believe it!!!
I can remember my experience in fw 757 and it was good with custom rom
But i don't remember that the photo doesn't have any noises
And if you believe that fw 757 was better and you don't want to go back, just use pc programs to remove noises!!!

I really don't have problem, .757 image is softer and blur that might be the reason less noise because heavy denoised. Anyhow, Z1 camera just not good(it's definitely doing it's job but not close to the top quality), don't expect excellent quality without upgrade your phone to Z3/Z4.
I hope lollipop will be a bit better but it seems delay to April/May(Z3/Z3c on Feb and Z2 on March) and I think I can't wait I will just switch to Z3c or Galaxy Alpha or even Galaxy S6 after 1 to 2 months. Originally, I want Z4/Z4c but they hit a big delay til May/June now.

[Q] Did 4.3 totally destroy my camera?

What the he.. is wrong with the camera on my Sony Xperia Z?
Any picture take with the flash is ugly, grainy and way too bright and bland. Pictures taken without the flash are just ugly and grainy. It doesn't really seem to matter what setting I use or if I use Superior Auto or not.
Did Sony just totally mess up 4.3? Looking at older pictures, they seem fine to me.
Some current photos can be seen here in my G+ post.

I got the same issue.. i think that my photos are blured and not that much good after 4,3 update.. so decided to wipe and flash a new rom today but i didn't help after all.. I think we should try reflashing from SEUS

I finally updated with Pc companion and the results for me are great.! it solved my camera issue and there is considerable difference between my previous camera and the Bravia Engine is working.!!

AOSP ROMS are fine as I tried them.
Even the Google camera app recently launched on Google play works well km Sony kitkat ROM.
The issue is with the Sony camera app. Sony needs to do something about it.

PROS of locked bootloader and CONS of it.
im a unlocked bootloader user, but i notice a big decrease of camera quality, as lack of detail and noise presence.
being a locked bootloader user would i be able to flash 4k and timeshift video mods when being deodexed?
battery life? guys i need your guide on this U_U

You can be in LB with all the mods in the stock based rom. deodex Roms do work on LB
So u can lock the BL with proper TA and then flash the stock kernel and enjoy
I got my TA partition backup, so I flash the stock kernel and then lock the bootloader? Where can I find stock .108 kernel?

Also more difficult to de-brick if somethings happen...

I think that the photos quality is bad also on locked bootloader so we don't loose too much quality. Also unlocked bootloader don't have a strong noise reduction so the photos have more details and you can edit it on photoshop to obtain better result than Bionz

which ROM is best for Z3c? (camera is 1st priority)

i'm using Slim 6.0.1 right now the battery drains so quickly.
i may consider to go back to Slim 5.0.1 or 5.1.1.
which ROM has the best camera, good performance & okay battery? (for locked boot-loader)
do you think experience rom is better than AOXP & Slimm?
thanks in advance for any advice.
(i'm a noob so i don't wanna spend ages trying out every roms)
Xperience rom (stock .291 based) is the best - stable, fast, debloated, battery friendly ?
That rom using latest pexo camera mod - better than stock sony camera ?
Best photo quallity you will get after flashing cyberian camera ?

Well yeah it does require unlocked bootloader,but you still get stock like quality,maybe better,and it is like you didn't even lose DRM keys.
Using the same Xperience Rom with Cyberian camera, runs great and Cyberian camera really improves the Z3 Compact camera. Battery is very good, close to 5.1.1 but going to try tweaking some things to improve it more. Possibly use Amplify or Power Nap Xposed modules.

In my opinion, the 4.4.4 stock have some bugs in the App, less options, but, Indisputably, the best post processing. Lighter and prettiest than others.

When I said 4.4.4, i think I can tell about all stock based roms, with original keys.
I understud yu, but today I use the KitKat with all the apps I need (include snapchat with the same filters than 6.0; youtube with background playback; a beta launcher; a beta music player... etc... all the apps...). And probably I can do this with a 4.1.2 too, with a older smarphone.
Whatever, a day I will be forced to go to xperience or lineageos too, but today, i stay with my kitkat.
PS:
Material design sucks.
Xperience Rom's battery drains quite quickly when i use music app.
(music app itself consumes more than anything else, even more than screen).
anyone face similar situation?

Rollback from Nougat

Hi, everyone! Sorry if it is a repeated post, but I did search and did not find anything about it the way I need.

Flash via flashtool original LP and then if you like custom LP.

All I have to do is find a stock LP and flash it? No need to do anything else?
Btw, I'm doing this because I think my camera is worse using Nougat than with LP. Does anyone else realized this?

Yes, it's known that the moment you unlocked the bootloader the camera quality becomes sh*t, so either way it doesn't matter. (if you want an answer then yes stock firmware camera is better, use some mods and the camera gets an upgrade in quality).

You're probably thinking about the chip that processes images.
You can re-enable it by flashing this mod on stock rom

Thank you for this link! I plan to use it after I rollback to LP. The thing is: I don't know exactly how... I do know how to use flashtool, but I'm afraid that just flashing the LP stock ROM isn't everything.
