I just rooted my z3c using this great guide and I was wondering what I can do from here? I do not want to unlock the bootloader because I do not want the camera quality affected in low light. So from what I understand, with a rooted but LOCKED bootloader I can only stick with stock roms. Can I install things like Viper4Android and Cyberian Camera without running into any problems?
im using Cyberian Camera mod by mkdmc atm, its working pretty well.
I'm using a Cyberian camera with locked bootloader as well, no problems at all, and it defienatly adds some useful features.

Hi, Can someone port this camera fix for I9305??
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2052675
Hi
The Chainfire fix works on my i9305 Stock rooted and the camera still works fine :good:
I took the chance and same here camera still works I'm using the rXtreme 2.1 ROM. But it still will be good to have this patch ported (if it doesn't work that is) for other unfortunate owners who lost the cam
Hi guys, as we know SONY wont allow third party camera apps to use all camera settings like ISO, I wonder if it's possible to somehow override it for root users.
I think any custom rom like cm may make it possible......
Yea, I know I used CyanogenMOD and everything worked perfect, but I want the same but on the stock rooted rom ...
Hey Guys,
I recently flashed GoldernEye Rom 22 and everything is great, except the camera. I for the life of me cannot get any camera to work or any patches to work. anytime i open a Camera APK they stop working. or only the front camera works.
Setup
s4 Active ATT
ML2 Baseband
Safestrap 3.71
Golden Eye Rom (GE-i337-NAA-21-Safestrap with the following Zips
*jflteatt-active-ML2-modules+key_fix
*GE-SLiM-F4ST-ADV
*Volume_Boosting_Sound_Moderate
Did I flash the wrong Rom? do the camera patches not work with the ML2 Baseband? Im loosing sleep over this stuff!
any help is greatly appreciated. The Rom is fast, great on battery, and very minimalist once all the Bloatware is removed. Best Rom i have flashed thus far except for my camera problem.

Gonna bump this, since I am having the same problem. Flashed HyperDrive via safestrap, and no working camera. Tried flashing a ML2 patch, but no dice. Anyone have any information on this?
@spegelius is working on fixing the camera for the i9295. You might want to check with him and see if he'll put together a flashable zip for you to try. The camera patches that exist now are based on @LeJay camera fix for 4.2.2/CM 10. It seems like the existing camera patches should work, but Samsung may have changed some things between 4.2.2 and 4.3. Hopefully you can get a hold of @spegelius, he's your best bet.

I am on the SGH-i537, but if I read everything correctly so far, the hardware is not different...correct? If so, I'd be willing to test out any zips the devs need testing. What is needed? Libs from the stock or more?
Init.d support????
Hows the battery life, better than stock???
How i install it with a rooted 4.4.2 stock (can i install this 4.4.3 rom over the 4.4.2 rom)(just tell me how to install if im in 4.4.2 rooted with twrp)(best way)
Can i install the ok google now and the camera gesture(i want that apps to use the x8 chip because it will be unusefull if the rom dont use it)
Active display uses de x8 chip????
Liquidsmooth is a good ROM, i have used it in my previous devices.
If your phone was updated to 4.4.2 from your carrier, then you wont be able to flash a custom ROM.

I believe it has init.d support.
Battery life is much worse for me, I'm getting a tons of wake locks so I'm trying to narrow down the issue. Not sure if rom related but I flashed it two days ago and haven't installed much and use things like greenify. Might have to ref lash
If you are rooted with twrp I believe you can install it. I was on unlocked BL with 4.4.2 root and installed it.
I do not believe you can install the okay google now and camera gestures using the x8 chip. I don't think it's accessible to third party developers.
Active display does not use the x8 chip from LS
ok

Thanks i really apreciate your anwser
I already have root, Recovery and I'm currently using a Slim rom based on stock. But I did all this because it wouldn't require unlocking the boatloder. But now I really wanna test some FXP rooms but I'm kinda afraid to ****ed up my phone...
Is it possible to unlock the bootloader and still maintain the Camera quality?
Not unless you stick with the stock rom and flash the DRM fixing zip ( don't have link now since I'm on phone ).
If you flash anything AOSP based, you get stock camera quality.
Do note that using a program such as lightroom you can get all the photos to stock Sony quality quite easily, it just takes some more time.
