Noooooo, I got it somewhere on G+. But the widget fit and I already had the wall up....

Will test on my stock 6.0.1, but I have a question, does this works also on CM and AOSP based ROMS?
Curious about "slow-mo" and "save to SD card" modes.?

Moto G4 Camera App Mod
Hi Guys,
I have been using Apktool for the first time today and have managed to get the professional mode working on the stock moto x style rom (marshmallow 6.0.1, 1 may 2016 patch level) without root and have also managed to enable the debug menu option i.e. what was the ladybug button in the old version app.
I have uploaded the new version of the apk to google drive for anybody that wants to give it a try.
If anybody wants to look at what has been updated I only modified three files (AndroidManifest.xml, \res\raw\app_features.json and \smali\com\motorola\camera\Util.smali) so if you decompile the original apk (standalone) and the new version I have created you will quickly see what has been changed.
p.s. When I updated the app_features.json file I added in device codes for the moto x style (clark), moto x play(lux) and moto g 2015 (osprey) so a wide group of people could try the mod but I have only tested it on the moto x style as that is the device i own.
UPDATE:
See post #29 for a more up-to-date apk http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67863180&postcount=29

@data365 Your mod worked perfectly! I just installed it as normal apk. Thanks.

worked well

Dude! As a photographer this is huge for me. Great work. Nice to have the manual settings.
Working on rooted DU's latest test ver.
You should open your own thread.

for those with the camera working, do you use quick-capture (double-twist your wrist to launch camera)? I couldn't get it to work, the settings turns off by itself.

This is how i installed gallery apk since normal install was not working on CM13 MXPE 2015:
- deleted gallery that came with cm13
- created a new folder at /system/priv-app (i called it Moto Gallery)
- placed apk inside the new folder
- reboot the phone
- (icon will show on app drawer but when opening the app it will show only pictures but with no options, settings etc)
- return to the system folder created in the beginning
- install apk by clicking on it
That's it! Fully functional gallery. Take a picture and slide the right side of the screen inward. A bottom drawer will ask you to open pictures with gallery. Choose always!
I also set Moto G4 camera as default camera and not out works with twist gesture!
Once again, I'm on official CM13 nightlies 07/20 on MXPE 2015.

[Capture+]: Quickmemo apk from V30

Quickmemo / Capture+ from G6 / G7 / V30
Hi everybody,
I am looking for the Capture+ app, which is includen in QuickMemo+ from the G6 / G7 / V30 for my V20.
I do not know why, but Capture+ in V20 does not allow long / extended screenshots, whereas on G6 and V30 does and most likely also on the G7
Coming from a lenovo p2 and used to it, taking long screenshots is very common for me and I miss that function on my V20 (H990DS with B&O).
It seems like the LGqmemoplus versions 6.1.6 (from G6) and 6.10.20 (possibly from V30) are not available on any apk-server.
Does anyone have a new quickmemo+ version?
On my phone the software updater says that I have the newest quickmemo version.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Jo

This is from v30

Thank you very much!
Just downloaded it, but unfortunately I cannot install them, as it says parsing error.

Did you extract the apk from oreo or Nougat? Maybe that's the reason. My v20 is still running on nougat... Mi

If you need it, temporarily flash back to stock Oreo with TWRP flashable zip + Magisk for your variant.
Backup what you need from there, then go back to your custom ROM.
Unless I am misunderstanding something...

No, you have it right. It's not worth the time, really. The only thing I was worried about was a list of songs to download, but that's replaceable. Thanks for answering!

[Help requested] Options for Root and Xposed on XZ1C

Just ordered my XZ1C and looking forward to joining this community!
I'm looking to root and install systemless xposed (Magisk) on the XZ1C while keeping camera functionality equivalent to stock quality. It would be great if the solution allows me to keep current with new ROM versions (primarily for security updates). What is less important:
- Ok with either stock or custom ROMs (access to ongoing security updates most important)
- Know that DRM keys will be gone forever (but as long as camera functionality still there, that's fine)
- Ok with using any camera app (stock, gcam, etc.) as long as it retains quality similar to stock
After trawling through this and the XZ1 forum, I believe there are 3 options to achieve what I need (root and xposed), and would like advice from the community on pros/cons of each of the following:
1. Custom ROM with DRM fix included: Unlock bootloader, install TWRP, install custom ROM which comes with DRM fix (e.g. @modpunk 's LineageOS, @russel5 's RR or AOSP)
2. @janjan 's kernel: Unlock bootloader, update to latest compatible stock firmware using flashtool, install janjan's DRM fix kernel
3. Xperifix: "automated" black-box solution and fingers crossed that it works
Any recommendations on which option would be best for me given my objectives? Thanks!

You can use my stock mod. Ddmfix included, superuser mod, deodexed, on the last page of thread you can find fix for xposed

russel5's rom is pretty amazing, full of features and falls into number 1 on your list.
2 and 3 refrence stock roms with either a fixed kernel or automated flashing of all the files you need.
The stock camera is best and as much as I am tempted by rr, I don't think it beats stock camera software for pictures. So I'd say a lot of your decision has to do with how much you like taking pictures?
The stock firmware from April .75 is the last firmware that works with Xposed and one of your problems will be finding a copy of that to flash and downgrade your new arrival.
You might need to get janjan's old (.75) kernel from github as he is only showing the latest 16.20 on his thread.
I get moaned at for promoting Xperiafix because it's paid software, but it's a one stop shop, it does everything and it's so easy. It has worked smoothly every time I've used it
Depending on your skillset and how many files you want to find and flash Vs one program.

- so seems like between Xposed and having the latest security updates, I have to choose one of the two. Or might there be a workaround for Xposed on the 16.20 stock rom?
- with xperifix, can one achieve Xposed? (Whether on latest or downgraded rom?)
- purchased this phone partly for the camera, so I will go with stock rom if that has the best quality. Does stock rom also have a portrait or lens blur mode similar to google cam?

As far as I'm aware there's no way a stock rom 16.20 will work with Xposed. There are several custom roms that are updated to 16.20, but still pull historical parts of the framework with them to make Xposed work.
Xperiaifx will work on .75 firmware. It will install TWRP, Magisk and the fix. Once you have Magisk on it you can install the Xposed framework module (SDK26)
The Sony camera has many addons, I don't know about portrait.
Google camera works on russel5's rr, but again the quality isn't up to stock.
Having been through the pollava of unlocking and rooting my phone, I'd say the advantages don't outweigh the effort and problems. Every time there's an update to the firmware, which is quite often with Sony, you have to wait and hope some nice developer is going to make the files you need to keep up to date. Then go through a long proccess with downloading the new firmware with Xperiafirm, then flashing with Newflasher and then whatever files you need to reflash from the developer. You'll never get OTA updates again. Having a rooted phone is a pain in the neck.

hi @d_fens. how did you go about installing this system less xposed fix on your stock oreo 16.20? should i do the following:
1. stock oreo 16.20
2. flash magisk via twrp.
3. boot into phone and copy xposed fix into /system/framework/
4. then flash systemless xposed via twrp?
thanks

i used janjan's mod to get systemless root on stock. with this you are able to update using newflasher all the latest roms with security updates provided by Sony
you don't have to choose between xposed and the latest security updates:
for xposed, i've tried both Taichi Magisk (taichi.cool) and Virtual Xposed (also via Magisk). both work fine but Taichi is a smoother implementation (only activates xposed for those apps that you whitelist). it is however not open source (yet), though this was not a concern for me. also, it supports not all xposed apps but a subset
the xposed modules that i absolutely needed to have are all working on Taichi: Xposed Edge, CorePatch, AppContext, WeXposed, God Mode

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?

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...

Question on options for custom Android 9 or 10 ROM

Hello!
Any custom Android 9 or 10 ROM which has all of these features (and works well overall)?
1. Working GCam OR full stock camera (any of the two is fine);
2. Working camera button;
3. Night light.
Also, am I correct that the Oreo AOSP Extended has both of these options?
Thanks in advance.

As I mentioned in my other post full stock cam and Gcam GO is available in:
Linagege OS: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...rom-lineageos-17-1-unofficial-coming-t4047763
Havoc OS: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-xz1-compact/development/rom-havoc-os-v3-6-t4113345
The shutter button works in Lineage OS, but is broken in Havoc. But you can use the double tap to open camera gesture.
Also Gcam Go is a lite version of Gcam with only portrait mode (not yet working) and HDR+ available. Hopefully more features will be ported by developers.
Night light is available in both ROMs. Others I have not tried.
Hopefully this helps.

Thanks a lot. That's very useful.

Hi again. I noticed one can install LOS17 starting from the latest (and probably last) firmware. I assume this entails losing DRM keys. Are they worth saving anymore?

As far as I know there is no photo comparison album comparing camera quality going from a DRM restored firmware and non DRM restored firmware so I don't know how much of a difference it makes.
But the ROM developers do recommend backing up DRM as it is might come in useful in the future or if you want to go back to stock. Based on what I have seen in the Lineage OS thread it is unknown why the camera works without DRM.
I would recommend backing it up since once it is lost it is lost, and restoring it to the official firmware before flashing a custom ROM guarantees that you have the best possible camera quality.
As addition info:
As far as I know there is no way to re-lock the bootloader which might make it harder to sell it so if you are planning on selling I would not recommend unlocking the bootloader.
Otherwise, happy flashing!

Wise advice about the drm. Thanks again.

I made the switch to LOS 17. It took me some 5 hours to downgrade to Oreo, save DRM, switch back to Pie and then install a fully-working LOS (the first two installs generated some issues with both cameras - the stock Sony did not focus or take photos at all, while the stock LOS was not saving pics - and with the SD); but it then finally worked (procedures followed were the same every time, go figure).
Also, I lost my attest keys in the process of downgrading to Oreo (although I did remove all persist and *.ta files before flashing); and the camera was black after this downgrade - but then the procedure worked eventually and the camera came back fully featured in Pie, somehow. Again, go figure.
All in all, I am happy for the switch and the LOS 17 is absolutely great. Will definitely buy modpunk a beer.
Now, if only there was an equally good procedure and ROM for my other phone, the xz2c, which Sony ruined with the upgrade to Q .
Thanks once again for the encouragement.
