The CPU/ chipset in the XSP only supports sensors up to 20MP and the Z1 has a 20.7MP sensor, that's probably why it won't boot

The CPU in the Lumia 1020 is not as powerful as the CPU in the Xperia SP, yet the 1020 has a 41MP sensor. It's not the chipset, it's a combination of factors.
May I ask why you're doing this OP? Just curious.

I try do do this because I got that camera by a mistake and just wanted to try if it works before sending it off

Right, I thought that you ripped apart a Z1 and just tried stuffing that camera in the SP for the hell of it lol.

OFF-TOPIC: May I know where do you get the instructions on performing the camera swap? This is fairly interesting for me!

Good day, I wanted to clarify that the Xperia Acro S is IP57 certified and it has a camera hardware button. I've been debating if I should get the Acro S or the V for months already and one of the main reasons is battery removal vs. camera button. I wish there would be a way to re-configure the volume button to use it for taking photos on mobiles that don't have a physical camera button.

[Q] Burst-Shot mode

Hello. I want to ask about its camera.
Burst-shot, that was on Z(also ZL and ZR) doesn't appear on SP. I know that the camera module of Z and SP are different. But its difference is not so big, and SP seems has enough power. So I wonder whether burst-shot feature can be enabled on SP.(e.g, porting camera app from Z)
Is it possible in the future?
I think burst-shot mode needs proper camera -hardware- to work
There should be apps out there that can do 'software' burst-shot by taking pictures of your video feed (so max resolution would be 1080p)

i think this can be possible coz capturing rate of SP is pretty good and i think it will be possible if someone ported this for SP or sony implement this feature in future update
you can try this app to check the accuracy of your camera ... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wombatix.burstcam&hl=en
and this app able to capture 20 photos within 2-3 sec which is good i thnk
Thanks for replying. I hope that be going to better way....

The best camera apps that have better quality images are;
1)VSCO
2)Google's Camera (Yeah it is surprisingly good)
I don't prefer the HD Camera you find the in play store.
I usually clean my lenses by putting a small amount toothpaste to the lens and wiping it. After that, I clear the lens with a wet tissue. You could use some soap too but I prefer using toothpaste because it made my lenses to be much cleaner
Yep. I had the same issue. After doing some research I found some camera apps which perform better on our device. Check out the thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2937252
If you have any further questions or queries please post them on my thread instead of here so that I can respond promptly. I rarely visit Q&A section.

I suggest you to set ISO at 400 or 800.

Replacing xperia Z

Hello. It's time to replace the old xperia Z. Ofc i will get sony again, but the question is which model. Im thinking of z3 not the compact,cause z3+ and z5 are basically the same. Also i don't think there is big difference betwen 4 core processor and 8 core. What can i do with z5 i would be able to do it with z3. So suggest me which one os better?
Z5 has impressive camera stabilization, all the critics are raving about it.
Z5 also has dual heat pipes, so probably works well with thermal management.
Z3 and all below apparently have heat and battery issues, they are not worth the upgrade in my opinion. Personally I am saving for the Z5, the old Z is a good workhorse for another six months or less for me.

Well fingerprint sensor is plus for me too. Most people dont use security locks, but when you imagine what you got in your phone (saved passwords, SMS confirmation for internet banking etc.) fingerprint is pretty handy.
Well i have intouch with z3 compact and i can say that it's great phone. Faster than my Z. After all its 2,5ghz 4 cores instad of 1,5 in Z. Other than that the battery is relly good. I was using it 2 days with mobile internet always on,browsing and calling 1 hour per day. Z5 will be one bag of money fr nothing... The best thing is camera and fingerprint sensor. I don't see anyting better than z3+ or even z3.
Depends if you want root without unlocking bootloader and losing DRM keys. Not possible on Z3+/Z4 onwards due to new secure boot implementation by Sony. Phone won't boot on stock kernel if /system is modified in any way:thumbdown:

Well then you see a lot of things wrong. The Z5 is better in any category you can think of.
Z5 or Z5 Premium? And if you don't mind exlpain ot me with what z5 is better than previous sony models except the things i mention above: camera, processor,4k screen (that i think it's pointless in so small screen).
i would definitely go for the Z5, the camera outtakes look far better than Z3's family, the new sensor is beast

xperia z5 uses dual heatpipe where older models uses one(z3) or no (Z)heatpipe
Check this:
http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/09/04/xperia-z5-using-dual-heat-pipes-to-control-thermal-performance/
And this is just one of the major improvements.

Backup TA needs root.
Anyway, I think someone will find a way but it might need some more time then usual.
For example: The galaxy s5, was told to be unrootable because of the new secure knox system, but in no-time there was root without tripping knox :thumbup:
The Premium doesn't always run in 4k, according to an article I read. The Window Manager runs at 1080p by default and dynamically switches to 4k if 4k content is detected.

60 FPS HD or SD Video Recording - Setting Gamma for SP

Is it possible to make ? I think it' s not impossible but you, developers knows best, im asking you. Is there any chance to make 60fps video.
And for second, KCAL module not working for Xperia SP so we cannot set gamma, is there anyway to change this ? Is it impossible?

Its possible because I have seen HTC one mini(Adreno 305) to do so. Xperia SP has a lot better GPU. But not sure will camera on SP could do that
I think Xperia SP could do that, the camera not that horrible i think and cpu fast enough for that.
Wish so much the kernel developers or someone will make this work :crying::crying:
