4k+timeshift problem

hi everyone
I installed the 4k and tumeshift video on my xperia z1 kk .757 and it doesn't work so i read something about libs and the name of that lib is "camera_libs_flashable_1401941205" it is from @lagalaga and when i installed it i can't even use the camera what can i do?
I fixed it restoring my os, but now how i do the superuser mod i don't know im new on this world and i need to deodexed my phone to install 4k video and time shift

I've made a topic for this:

@vhos96 you should have superuser mod to have it working on your phone. Actually it doesn't need to be de-oxed, atleast in case of Stock .757 firmware.
Simple Steps(I hope you have recovery from your post):
1) Get Root access (if you dont have) by flashing SuperSU by Chainfire (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053)
2) Install Xposed framework by rovo89 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/framework-xposed-rom-modding-modifying-t1574401)
3) Install Xposed Xperia by Serajr (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2612179)
4) Activate Xposed Xperia module in Xposed Framework.
5) Flash 4K-HFRv1.3.zip from 4K thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2767005)
6) Reboot Device.
7) Wipe app data of cameracommon, camera, cameras, video, camera extension,etc related to camera.
8) Open Camera app, Mode->4K Recording , Hit Record button and watch your Xperia Z1 Record 4K video.
Beware: Don't Enable SteadyShot in settings because it crashes Camera.
Hope it helped.

is 4k video port available for aosp roms also?

No, 4K video port is not available for AOSP roms. I think it is not possible to port 4K to AOSP with current libs of Sony. Maybe it will be possible if Xperia Z2 GPe device is released or any other Sony device's GPe Edition with 4K video is released.
I am not sure about this, but currently 4K video is not available for AOSP.

LOS/CM for Xperia E1 D2005 with a working camera app.

Hi, I would like to know if there is a LineageOS/CyanogenMod ROM for Sony Xperia E1 D2005 that has a working camera app. Help would be much appreciated. :good:

You can try this CM12.1 ROM, I have never tried it personally, so I can't really say if camera is working. You can try using a different camera app than the stock one, like Open Camera, for example.

Stock Camera keeps crashing, Open Camera keeps saying "FAILED TO OPEN CAMERA. CAMERA MAY BE IN USE BY ANOTHER APPLICATION"

There's no CM/LOS ROM with working Camera available.
If you really want to have Camera, you need to stay on a Stock ROM unfortunately

Should I root my XZ1 on PIE?

Hi folks! As we all know XZ1 is not an old phone to get out of warranty today. And rooting (drm fix thing may work but if we ignore it) may void the warranty.
My question is, is there any good mods you use on stock pie rom to have better experience? If you post your "root needed" mods installed below, me and other users can get enough reasons to have root today?
And if you can share the links of mods, people will thank you so much i think ? (working night light should be a good addition for example)

I am also wondering this but I think as xz1 also we lack of developers. At the past years we had many many developers but all of them flew away from Sony

Unfortunately there isn't much right now, i rooted mostly for debloat and install battery saving mod (LKT mod) both things for better battery life and performance. There are a few mods for sound and camera (camera mod is WIP), and a couple of custom roms to try.

@snake218 Is there any losses on unlocking and rooting process?

Based on my experience with sony support; I rooted my xperia x (unlocked bl, drm fix), relocked my bootloader and restored my drm keys. Then I shipped it to sony repair and they accepted it. So I think I might root this one too. Just make sure to backup your keys and store them before sending it to sony.

That camera WIP mode is it any good ? i mean better than stock sony camera or not ?

i am thinking about rooting my xz1 too,only reason i would do that is to install viper4android and make my XZ1 louder both on loudspeakers and on headphones too......my phone is 3 month old so i dont want to loose garantie......dilema this is

if somebody wont to root xz1 he should make TA backup otherwise you loose your drm keys.

Importing xz2 camera to xz1

Hello,
since xz2 and xz1 have same camera sensor (imx400) and xz2 makes clearly better pictures, i wonder if it is possible to get the xz2 camera software to the xz1, i mean if it is the same sensor shouldn't it be just a software problem that the xz1 is so crapy compared to xz2?

There is already a XZ3 camera port, reporting improved performance with low light and frame rate, but I haven't tried it so I don't know if it works.

Didn't try yet, i have to root but this could cause the DRM Keys to get lost, they are important for the camera, and the DRM Backup is rather complicated. I guess i will wait for Android PIE and then root and flash the XZ3 camera. Other users say its working thougt, if you do it right! You can read this Thread for more that "Didgesteve" showed me, to gain some more infos: https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/mod-xperia-xz2-camera-port-xperia-xzs-t3771889

I would say backing up the DRM keys was a piece of cake compared to trying to get the camera mod working. At least j4nn has written clear instructions how to do it.
The camera mod instructions are so fuzzy that it seems to be impossible to get it working with the mentions of "superuser mod" or "patched services.jar", as the mentioned superuser mod is only for XZ, not XZ1C, and there's no mention about how to patch your own services.jar. I tried smali patcher already but it requires the file to be "deodexed", whatever that means etc.

I managed to install that mod. (Look post number #333) Lets say dont expect big changes.

Does the UI change when you install the mod?
Also did you do anything about the mentioned superuser mod or patched services.jar to get it working?
Did you delete the whole SemcCameraUI and CameraCommon folders or just the arm64 inside?

The ui didn't changed. And i didn't do any of super user mod and service jar thing.. But i did have a bug with video enchants force closing at setting. Maybe i didn't get the Mod fully working that's why i didn't get the effect. But yes i deleted whole folders.

Really? Oh man :crying: Sony should be ashamed not giving us the same quality with cam, just because they want us to buy the xz2c
To hohosanta: If the UI does not change, you did something wrong, therefore you don't have the better quality. At least this is what i read in the post, that the UI has to be the new one and if you do it right the quality is really better. Hope so.

It's hard to say how different the ui in xz3 is compared to xz1c in Pie as I haven't seen the xz3.
But anyway, maybe I'll try again to patch that services.jar and then try the mod as a magisk module (it seemed to install when I just used the oreo magisk module config files with the system folder from the Pie v2 zip, but trying to start the camera gives an unspecified error) if I just find a working way to do the patching. It might be that the apk signatures don't match and that's why it doesn't start. @hohosanta said that he tried to copy the files manually but it gave the same error as I got with the magisk module.

Used Smali patcher to patch services.jar, but I still get the same error with the camera mod. Doesn't seem to work...
