Hi,
I'm sorry to break it to you, but AFAIK it's not possible. You can use different camera apps to check some different software post editing and rendering (you could even do that without rooting), however the camera quality is mainly based in the lens and image processor of your device, both of which you can't change.
All the best,
~Lord

Yes, that's for unlocking, rooting is different and does not break the camera

I would suggest to download some other camera apps in play store... it takes a while for developers to figure out how to make the stock camera work better...
when I got the xperia S, I was pretty disappointed with the camera as well... then I installed a few playstore apps, 1. camera zoom fx - probably the best all around camera. 2. HDR Camera - best HDR camera app imo... really made taking pictures with Xperia S a wonderful experience

Me too, I was on Locked Bootloader and never saw a bit of difference in image quality. Also is not the X-Reality only reported missing but even Bionz Processing, so if you are really concerned about this you can try this kind of fix...

I didn't said it was not working on Locked Bootloader, I just said I did not saw any difference so I was never bothered to check after Unlock Bootlader if the X-Reality still working. It's a tweek for improve the image quality but only on phone, if you put your picture on PC there will be no more X-Reality so to me this kind of tweeks are useless. My only concern is Bionz Processing as this really can compromise the quality of your pictures.
You are on Unlocked Bootloader so if you want check, see the link I posted or type on XDA Fix X-Reality, maybe I missing something.

It is because there is no difference..

Placebos i would say. An image processing chip like Bionz for mobile is much needed in order to convert the cameras raw data and make it for instance a jpeg. This is how it works in all cameras. If that wouldn't be there then the camera wouldn't work at all. That was the case before 4.3 right?
I spoke to a Sony technician saying that "unlocking a bootloader won't change the phone, but custom software will and that might brick your phone" he admitted that they've had problems before 4.3 but that has been solved now. And I had to pull that out of him kinda. I asked alot of questions that people kinda just speculate about because I want hard facts. He wasn't that keen on saying much more but I gave him my email address anyway.
Interprete this how you want, I don't wanna be held responsible for anyone might bricking their phones. Just forwarded what's told to me.

there are a few solutions that can be found in the mod/themes section
do a search to speed up the process of finding what you need
You can try build.prop tweaks, that may can help you.

I will let u know when i will be back to cm11
http://opencamera.sourceforge.net/ OpenCamera works perfectly on CM11 m12 regards changing ISO. As does Camera FV-5 if you don't mind paying.
Try with Lenovo Camera.
Try camera fx zoom!
You can try it with the free version. I always use it (payversion). Best camera app, I ever have had on android!

Is there any way to use a manual focus mode? I'm ok with the stock camera but the auto-focus doesn't work well for me for short distance.
