Is there a bug-free camera app/mod which gives good results? - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys,
I´m in search of a bug-free camera app, which gives good results.
Personally I think it´s shame what kind of softwar sony has released to the whole z series, taking into consideration the "soft-skin" bug is still present, no matter which Android Version or App we choose.
So that´s the reason I been searching for a camera app/mod, which allows me to take pictures that are matching the capabilities of this phone as described.
So far I tried these mods:
Cyberian Camera 6.0 - Fisheye Bug, makes it unusable for me
ZR-Cam: Not working with Z3 Lollipop 5.1.1.
Z5 Mod and Libs
None of them been bugfree or gave good quality results.
So I ask the community kindly:
Is there one app for Lollipop preferably, which gives good results and is bugfree?
Regards and thank you in advance!

Have you tried stock KK camera? I was on 4.4 just because of the amazing camer shots it could offer! BUT i flashed 6.0.1 and installed Cyberian(the one you tried too) and I'm still on it ( i haven't faced the Fisheye bug).
You should backup your phone and give stock 4.4 camera app a try!

Well, the fisheye bug only appears on Lollipop IV cyberian. You think there´s a KK ported camera App for Lollipop? I don´t think so tbh

I wish there was such a port.... My bad. What I actually meant was install 4.4 ftf... Best stock camera you'll get...( 10 times better than LP stock and MM stock,specially on video recording! )

IS the i9100 Galaxy S2 camera better than the Xperia ZR?

ZR is my dream phone well the Z is but due to so many hardware issuses and bad design I want to go with the ZR
But can the camera match my previous i9100 S2?
My S2 was incredible at taking photos especially at night. No noise at all.
The Samsung used SONY camera module till S3 Galaxy. The ZR takes incredible pictures once you do the settings right and for critical pictures use HDR Cam+ or other utilities like I do.
ZR gets better photo than GNexus. The camera sound effects can't mute by sound settings, I can't take photo of my sleeping kid with this. It's good camera among phones.
Sent from my SO-04E using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I keep reading on review websites that the Z and ZR camera is horrible its really really bad
But some people are saying thats cause those guys are morons and don't enable HDR
can anyone confirm how the Z and ZR camera matches other phone cameras?

wow thanks holy crap
the S2 i9100 is significantly better sharper and less noise than the Z and ZR
the Z does look better than the ZR
how the heck a old phone like the i9100 S2 can have such a better camera? how is that even possible?
it's sony's post-processing and crap compression that screws up a great camera... it's the software :/
so can this be fixed using HDR?
what about rooting and flashing custom rom etc?

i believe it'll be fixed by next software updates.. as most of the reviews about the Xperia ZR camera was made on the 4.1 ROM ,and we have some positive feedbacks about camera quality and focus-speed enhancement in the new 4.2.2 update
so we need someone who is using the 4.2.2 ROM to confirm it..

4.2.2 user here.I can tell that the camera is way better,and for the lowlight shoting please turn off the SAM - superior auto mod. and try playing with the settings abit like stopping HDR / chosing Fill flash / focus - multi auto focus.It really gives a very good low light pictures.So basicly the camera is great for me here

Thanks @effective for confirming :good:
and guys don't listen to just one review specially the one from Phonearena.. it's the worst review ever for the ZR and you may see the positive comments there for the users..
you can just only check the photos quality from Here ,but don't read the the whole page you'll hate the phone
the photo's aren't that perfect.. but they're still great for me (note that these photos were taken on the 4.1.2 FW)

[Q] Which custom-rom has a 100%-working camera?

I know, there are always problems with the cam in 4.4.2 - unfortunely.
But meanwhile I need a full working cam, so which custom-roms are highly recommend?
Thanx in advance.
PS: I'm well aware that I have to install a version lower than 4.4.2
I have 6 different cameras that work great on rooted 4.4.2 but it is still locked AT&T I-537 so not a complete custom ROM
Including: Stock Android camera, S4 GPe camera, Cymera, Focal and Google Camera. All are free. What doesn't work on yours?
Often the pictures are very overexposed. I can see it in the cam-modus. If I restart the camapp, it is normal exposed.

Would be glad to hear answer to this. Or is it just that every custom ROM (4.4.2) has this problem?
I'm really waiting forward to have KitKat in my S4 Active (nordic countries), as now I can't use for example Polar's sport applications with my official 4.2.*
You can't expect too much from this camera. It will do decent pics, but not more. Which is just fine by my standards.
Stock 4.2.2 camera works best overall, both with photos and videos. For other ROMs (4.3 and 4.4), photos are ok, but the video side has always been poor, regardless of the app or ROM used. Especially the sound volume, which is way too low, really frustrating.
Maybe things will improve with official 4.4.2 and hopefully ROM developers will manage to catch up with Touchwiz when it comes to the camera.
It shouldn't be long now.

I use @spegelius's CM11 build from 03.05 and it's all I need. The only freeze/crash events occur when trying to shoot the first pic after switching to and from HDR. After that it works smooth, although HDR is not really important to me. The other thing is the first film you try to record when switching from 1080p to 720p, which comes out unviewable. I couldn't find any other flaw with the rest of the functions.
The 03.05 is the build you need, if you don't use it already.

[Q] Sony V - upgrade from 4.3 to 4.4 or wait ?

hi , i have android 4.3 on my Sony V and the only problem is the drain battery fast and i think it`s a problem that never solved by rom
anyway , i see on many site that different versions of 4.4 kitkat comes for Sony V and it`s a good news that i can have last the android version on my phone
but if you upgrade to this do you see any specific option or optimization on this rom ? i mean is there any real benefits to take a time and risk for upgrade ?
something like optimize core or less space or more free ram ??
and there are different versions of 4.4 Rom for Sony V , like AOKP or cyanogenmod and ...
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=tsubasa
which one is better and have less bugs ?
is this a right time for update or it`s soon and i must wait for fixing android 4.4 bugs ?

Well...any custom kk rom will perform like 5 times faster than any stock version of rom for our device, but the battery life and camera quality will be worse. You won't have multitasking problems and apps closing in background like on stock roms but you might get reboots or some other problems with most of the roms. I decided to go back to stock 4.1.2 because the battery on our phone sucks so I'd rather get an hour of screen on time more than better performance. So it's up to you to try out and decide what you prefer.

Most of them are pretty much the same, some just offer more features than others basically. Unofficial LiquidSmooth Rom worked best for me and was most stable but most people prefer Carbon or NeoWave. You just have to read through the topics to see what other people are saying or try them out yourself. I just wish I had done a backup before unlocking bootloader and flashing the first custom rom because now I don't have those DRM keys and my camera quality sucks even though I'm on stock 4.1.2 now. I know that Xperia Z's camera gets f***d up after unlocking bootloader but it seems it affected my Xperia V too. :S

is unlocking bootloader affect on quality of camera ??! why these two different options must related together ?
even with third party camera recording apps ?

It might be just my imagination xD Maybe the camera is normal but seems bad to me at the moment, I haven't really tried it outdoors yet. I attached some pics here and you tell me if it's normal (like on your phone) or bad.
Btw...does your camera keep focusing even when you're not holding the capture button? Because mine does and I don't remember if it did before
I couldn't attach 4 pictures in one post so I divided it in two
Well your pics seems nice to me if take by Sony V
anyway now you mentioned i remember that one time i take a photo with my Huawei G650 dad phone and the quality of this pics is very better than my Sony V 12 Mega Pixel
after that i leave my phone camera and use small Digital camera at all .
i have always different phone of Sony , and the quality of Camera never satisfied me , they just give them more Mega pixel or resolution but the quality of picture never be like a real camera
only thing i love is FUll HD video recording that have a nice quality

Thinking of reverthing to 4.4

Edit 1:So as the tittle said, i was thinking of reverting back to 4.4...When i bought the phone , it was already on 5.0.2 and now i'm on 6.0.1 (.291 version)...As far as i'm concerned, no improvements have been done on camera from 5.0.2 to 6.0.1 (also, I face a bug and the last 1-2 seconds of the videos i record are frozen, and no, it's not my sd card's problem as i tried storing at my phone's storage)
The question is: Is stock camera on 4.4 better than 6.0.1?
Edit2 : I flashed 4.4 on my phone. Yes, the bug is real on 6.0.1...camera on 4.4 is almost 2 or 3 times better than 6.0.1.
Auto focus on 4.4 camera while video recording is just amazing guys...
Edit3: Flashed 6.0.1 again. The bug i described on Edit 1 dissapeared(!)
As for the video recording, on 4.4 autofocus worked automatically and really, really fast! When I'm on 6.0.1 I MUST use the camera button so as to make it work fast just like 4.4 did automatically. Hope this helps other users!
Yes 4.4 is absolutely better. I wrote thread in general section, my reasons why 4.4 is better.
---------- Post added at 07:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:30 AM ----------
Yes 4.4 is absolutely better! In every aspects.
i switched back also...loving this phone again...everything works 10x better... i'm on .77 build of kitkat ..the final one i believe

Camera and video shooting at 4.4 was 10 times better than on 6.0.1. BUT i detected certain bugs (snapchat lagging, i guess it's not well optimized for 'old' android versions)
But video shooting is REALLY bad at 6.0.1 guys...is there any way to use 4.4 camera app on 6.0.1? Autofocus needs almost 15 seconds to change focus and i still haven't found how to touch focus on Sony devices while video shooting! I would really appreciate some help on these things!

I haven't rooted 4.4, i don't like rooting and experimenting wirh it since everything rolls just perfect.You should really give a try, specially for the camera... Video recording focuses 10 times (for real 10 times) faster than 6.0.1 (both stock unrooted without mods), and camera quality is really better!
Also, booting takes about 18 seconds only on 4.4...
If you're using Snapchat, it will lag ( i'm not using heavily, only once a day, so it's not a problem for me), but i'm not using Facebook so I don't know whether it lags or not, but i guess it will work flawlessly. Be sure to keep a nandroid backup before checking 4.4 out!
Let me know if you have any other questions I can answer before you jump on 4.4.
For me the best ROM has been the Concept ROM. It has built-in Doze, nearly as stock as AOSP, battery life is great and it is really stable, fast. Less apps, better ROM. KitKat is great in performance but as it doesn't have Doze, it gives me less battery life cause I don't like to use Stamina mode whatsoever. I love KitKat too, but I hate KitKat's notification panel and settings icons. Concept provides you the most modern looking and one of the most stable and lightweight ROMs out there. As for the camera I use Cyberian Camera, despite it is not optimized for Concept, it is stable and better than the stock. Concept uses stock framework (same as 6.0.1) and haven't had any issues with it, also low-light processing is great!
TL; DR : Try Concept too!

I would, but like I said i don't like to root and install recovery, since i'm still on warranty (will be until December 2017) and since stock roms work perfect for me (except video recording on 6.0.1. .291). Thanks for your reply though.

I tried 4.4, for the first two days i was clean as it gets, but the battery lasted only 3.5h of sot, camera on the other hand was just okej, colours were a bit washed out (comparing to cyberian on MM), and view finder was laggy (cyberian has smooth viewfinder-best thing for me). I also tried video recording, and it was also not that special, focusing speed was the same as it was on cyberian. So after rooting and finally deleting all the bloatware (can't stand it) I realized 4.4 was not for me. So I restored my latest backup of MM and I can tell you I'm glad i tried 4.4 because it made me appreciate MM and my cyberian camera. Btw I am on MxRom fyi.
Just wanted to say this, enjoy and cheers

oh, really? And what are the bugs that prevent you from using eg my Lineage build as daily driver?
We're waiting until some fixes get merged and generally all the common bugs get resolved. I don't really see a reason why should we release half working rom that would get installed by people who don't understand a thing and spam the thread with useless complains.
Just take my word that z1 will get oreo, when it gets released I don't know.

The camera work as it should. But for recognition its not. Like face detection, scene detection. So better on manual. But i want to suggest something to @SuperLamic , can you port the camera saturation and sharpness option. On old RR, XOSP, LOS, DU nougat rom the camera is lag and quite unstable, but those option like saturation and sharpness are working and with steady hand the pics looks awesome.

Well, we're still missing camera wrapper that was activating some sony proprietary features and maybe more (haven't really thoroughly looked on it). I guess that can help? If not, then it won't be available.
Btw older roms are using blobs released within Sony Opensource Developer Project (sodp) and it's completely different implementation (that is not completely opensource). So we can't use it (or any part of it). My rom isn't an improvement for what we had, it's completely different.

To add to what SuperLamic said, the SODP blobs had support for the Camera2 API, since they were custom made. We use stock blobs on the newer ROMs that use the 3.4 kernel. Since we never had support for Camera2 API on stock (because we were dropped at 5.1.1), we probably never will have those features on custom ROMs.
