Hello all,
I just bought the p20 pro and it is working beautifully on t-mobile! My only issue is that my camera application does not have the night mode I've seen in multiple reviews (it's between aperture and portrait in the options) . If I got to more, I have a night shot mode but that was on my old mate 9 so I don't think it is the same. Can anyone clarify this? Thank you!
You answered your own question.
Place of night shot has been changed on newer firmware. You get the firmware update and nightshot will move to same place where it's on reviews.

Awesome, thank you! And sorry, my question might not have been clear in my original post. Just wanted to make sure I had the functionality is all.

Hello! First of all, sorry that I posted this thread in the wrong forum before coming here. I will make the thread again here and ask for the old one to be deleted.
Here is the problem: My Z1 camera can no longer focus at very close distance, since the 4.4 update. In order to show you what I am talking about, here are two photos:

Both taken in 4.4 FW, in Superior auto mode. I also tried in Manual, but the results are also very bad and out of focus.
To show that this is absolutely not normal, here is a photo taken with the same phone in 4.3:

Here is a photo taken with ASUS Memo Pad HD 7, with a relatively cheap camera that it has built-in:

It would probably do even better in good lighting conditions. I've encountered one more user in the Sony forums with this issue and I presume either it's rare, or people just haven't found out about it yet. Can you guys do a quick test with your Z1s (assuming you are on 4.4) and see if you can get it to focus at very close distance?
Thank you for your time!
Regards
Bump, please. Not a single answer? I'm pretty sure this problem is not just with my device, it cant' be...

BUMP. Seriously, no one has tried this?
Which ROM? Which FTF? Which version of the Z1? Are you rooted? Have you unlocked the boot? Have you flashed any mods?
Also, that picture you say is fine from the 4.3 rom seems to be taken from further away than the similar one on the 4.4 Rom.
Try clearing data from ALL camera apps in settings.

Hello,
The phone is not rooted, and has the 4.4 FW (14.3.A.0.681). I know the 4.3 pic is from further away, but the other photos are taken with a tablet at quite a similar distance. I have not flashed anything, just updated to 4.4. It doesn't seem normal to me that it can not focus at this distance.
Here is another picture from today. You can see the Windows key is not focused. I do not believe this distance is too small, this does not seem normal to me.

Here it is camera 2.0 ported for 5.0.2... This took a lot of work, months of work to figure this out. Theoretically this should work on any 20.7 megapixel Xperia device running 5.0.2... Enjoy it... My Rom Is coming people... I've been very busy with school.

I'm using my phone... And are you sure this has been available for 5.0.2? I know it's been available for 5.1.1 Lollipop for some time now...Because I'm pretty sure as of a month ago (that's around the last time I searched this topic) it wasn't working on 5.0.2 because people were getting Force Close errors on all the Camera 2.0 ports.. A couple of the devs even said 5.0.2 was impossible with this... but if you know of a recent 5.0.2 port that I don't know about, let me know.. It's not that I doubt you, I'd just like to see it for myself since I sunk a lot of time into getting this to work for our Lollipop version...Thanks!

The Z3v is different from the rest of the Xperia line, and I've tried the port that was given out on the cross device board and it really does no one any good when you can't even open the camera anymore.

telling a devloper to use the search button... you should know what your talking about before you post.
This is the only way to get camera 2.0 on the z3v. Or use the other ports and watch your camera not work anymore and force close.

Where can I find a list of improvements that will be had specifically to the z3V over the original camera software?
Also, can you please tell us what is different than the other downloadable installation file that's floating around here? They have the same timestamp and are the same size. I'm not doubting, just trying to understand.
Mr. Bradley, please, for the love of God, don't lock this thread down too.

There are no list of improvements specific to our device model, this is just the updated Sony camera app(s) ported from the Z5 to work on our devices. I wasn't aware there was another flashable camera port for the Z3v floating around here... Please link me to it. I assure you, you have nothing to risk by flashing this and that I am the original developer of this port... No one else by my knowledge should be circulating this file around for the Z3V or 5.0.2 in general. I'm making a flashable zip as we speak to revert back to the orginal camera should you not like the Camera 2.0's interface... I'm also working on an updated version of this port that will provide some camera improvements. When I'm done with both zips they will be posted in the OP along with some cleanup and screenshots. Thank you for your questions, it's great to ask questions... that's how we learn.. And its always good to know as much as possible before flashing anything to our phones. Should you have any more questions feel free to ask and I hope you enjoy the MOD.
Nope, not the same. When Mega DLs I end up with two of everything. Previous download zips were moved to my card and is the z5 2.0 at 10.5mb.
Will try this later and look for differences.

Would you mind linking me to this other zip you're referring to? Thank you ��
EDIT: Nevermind I can tell by the size of the file you must be referring to one of the other Camera 2.0 ports here on XDA. You can try flashing those at your own risk if you'd like, but I'd kindly like to warn you ahead of time, those do not work on Lollipop 5.0.2... The reason my port is larger in file size is because the framework ported from 5.1.1 as well as permission files to run Camera 2.0 are included. It is worth noting however, you can flash any other Camera 2.0 port AFTER flashing mine and they'll work since mine installs the correct framework and permissions that are necessary.
Zach,
Thanks for putting this together. I've installed it on rooted 5.02 and it's running well. Note that a couple boots were required after TWRP install and the user will get an overheat if trying to use the camera immediately but after the phone acclimates it is just fine.
I had downloaded the z5 zip not understanding that the z3V was the only one not on the list. I actually almost installed it until I read that it could brick the phone.
The UI seems a bit fiddly but I guess each has it's learning curve. I took random dim indoor shots, including some macros, before and after in the sensors native 4:3 aspect ratio at 20.7MP usingthe original and your ported 2.0, but using Camera FV-5. I didn't tripod the phone or run any real range, just point & shoot of 28 shots all the same objects from the same spot.
So far I have not noticed a significant difference and when the photos are zoomed in on they show the same muddled look from what appears to be the same overcorrective software (I'm sure Sony didn't change that). I've read that the z5 camera hardware is identical to the z3V.
I'll put her on a tripod this weekend and do some real testing.
The original camera zip will make flipping back and forth easier for comparison testing.
Thanks for making this happen!
Thank you so very much for your time and effort to get this working for our device
So how many of us have actually installed this ROM? Is it worth ditching the setup we have right now? I mean I don't really know how this could provide better performance if Sony hasn't updated any soft for our phones camera. I could understand manual modes might provide greater ability to change fine settings, but point and shoot quality and overall use ability is was I am concerned about.
First off, it's not a ROM, it's technically just a mod. Secondly, Sony supposedly did update the software, and because the camera hardware in our z3V phones are identical to those of the z5 which was released with this updated software, it will do the same thing and be perfectly installable without having to port it. -And it is, on nearly every single z model but ours because the z3V is a Verizon Sony step child.
The UI is MOSTLY what's new and improved, but lower light shots do seem to be rendered better by the software. The ISO limits haven't changed and I doubt that Sony did something to alter their interpolation software, but something does seem different.
Until I can easily switch back and forth without having to flash to an entire restore that's 12Gb (in other words, simply flash back to the original camera as a zip), I'm not going to bother with tripod testing. Once I can do that, I will take shots with a tripod in varying light using the old and new camera zips and examine the shots and exif data. It could simply be that in manual mode the software defaults to better settings. I'm guessing that it's the default values values in lower light situations that have been changed, if anything.
At first I didn't like the user interface just because I wasn't used to it. But now I find I'm actually using it more than I used the old one (I normally use FV-5). It is a one handed, portrait friendly UI.
I highly recommend this mod. Simply make a backup and install it. You can always revert back to the old one via your backup or you could wait for zachariahpope to release the original as an installable zip.
I found I minor bug. The front camera wants to stay on manual. If you switch to superior auto, the camera closes.

Strange. Mine doesn't crash when switching to superior auto with the front camera.
Edit: It does if I try to switch while using the front camera. If I switch to Superior Auto for the rear camera and then switch to front camera it is fine.
I tried searching for this on the forum and using Google but nothing came up.
I have a Huawei p10 selfie, aparently the model is Bac-L03
It uses emui 5.1 and Android version 7.0.
Any help you can give me? I think i can use magisk but i need a clean boot image first and cant find one.. Any tutorials, clues or help you can give me with this? Thanks a lot!
Isn't BAC the model name for Nova 2? Than you're wrong here in the P10 (VTR and VKY for P10 Plus) forum.
Didnt knew that but my phone is branded as a p10 selfie it says so even on the about phone section on settings.. Do you think its a good idea to ask there just in case?

Did you buy the phone in Mexico?
A quick search gives me, that the Nova 2 is called P10 Selfie in Mexico.
When you compare the phone pictures and specs you can see that they're the same phones.
This is a misrepresentation, that Huawei does not know what to do with himself.
this phone is a huawei nova 2 plus!

Thanks a lot people i guess thats why i couldnt not find any info at all about it, i guess they rebranded the phone for latín america, thanks a whole bunch!

Hey guys,
I've been looking for this apk that works with no luck. I found a thread here that had a gcam app, but I couldn't get it to load. It hasn't been updated since September and doesn't have night sight anyways.
I found another one which I downloaded, but couldn't get night sight to work (portrait worked though)
I just got a replacement phone from att (got a new one due to charger point going bad) and csnt find that apk anymore.
Does anyone have a link they can forward me to so I can get the gcam app with night sight and portrait?
Thanks!

Every since developer B-S-G launched his first GCAM port for devices running Snapdragon, I have ported the software to all of my devices with good results. The latest iteration is the Pixel 3 with Night Sight that I was able to successfully port to my T-mobile branded Note 9. I am very pleased with the results with night time shots coming out appearing well lit and detailed. The combination of Google software and Samsung hardware make for a formidable pairing. The Note 9 is a juggernaut of fun and functionality made even better by the additional photographic options the Pixel software offers. It is, to me, the best of both worlds. How is it working for others?
No option in camera? Where is it?
do you have the phone already?
I already pre prder it and i'm just watching all the reviews from youtube.
Bright night is baked into the AI functionality not as yet a standalone
Bright night is actually under scene optimizer -> intelligent features. There's suppose to be a visual prompt of some sort. I used a retail unit in a bright setting, which might be why it didn't work on the S10+.
