[Q] How about a new camera?

Hi there,
I don't know if this is possible, so the first part of this thread is a question. The second part is an idea, that only works if the answer is yes.
1. Is it possible to dismount the current camera in the Tattoo and replace it with a different camera?
2. If so, we should try to find a camera which has accessible drivers, a low price tag, autofocus and maybe even flash(which would require a bit of casemodding). That way we could have new ROMs with working cameras and the crappy original camera would be replaced. That way we could kill two birds with one stone.
We could find several possible candidates, have a poll in the forum and then add tutorials for new users, so they know where to get the camera and how to put it in the device.
What do you think? And more importantly - Would it even work?

Nah, near impossible.
Actually a nice idea but VERY difficult. Only a small number of users would be possible to actually mod there devices, if this is possible in the first place...

Lol you think nobody tried?
Anyway its a cool idea but its hard for a regular user to do something like that...
Maybe rather a USB connected camera. The built-in will not work, so when we need a camera, we pull this mini-camera out of our pocket and connect it to the USB-port.
Someone who want starting a new firm? It's gonna sell!!

yeea but nothing bellow 12mp
It is interesting idea, but i don't believe a lot of people would spend money on tattoo - i'd rather buy a new android phone with better camera
Anyway, we now have almost fully workable camera, thanks to all developers!

No, he wants Sony camera on cm, not the other way round
oh my bad
its almost impossible since it needs framework and drivers
really hard to modify it since sony has a different source code to work best on it's hardware
hopefully the next google phone will have a better camera software the n4 camera is so basic

Camera 2.0 ported

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.

Touch to Focus while Video Recording

Guys, I just tried Snap Camera, and i found out that the video recording is really brighter when recording on Snap Camera compared to Sony's Stock Application. ALSO,on Snap Camera, i can tap on screen to change focus while recording video, which is something that I am not allowed to do when I use Stock App.
This means that our device(z3 compact) IS CAPABLE of using Touch to Focus while video recording. Is there any way to activate/enable/make use of this feature on Sony's Stock Application?!
Thanks in advance.

Yes of course !
Decompile the stock camera app and code it in yourself.
100% serious answer: judging from your question, no.

Like I said... It'll be faster if you code it yourself. I know everyone here can do that since it's XDA- ""developers"" after all.
Whether he wants to mod it or not is a different question, better to ask him yourself.

Thought you made a typo ( can - instead of can't) and that's why I didn't catch it. Message sent. Hope he replies!
The question is: Is there a high request of this feature or not? I myself don't have a problem not having that focus, as for real recordings, I better use my "real" camera / camcorder instead of the phone.

Thanks for your suggestions. I'll add it to cyberian road map

I have the V50...
Warning/Info: that LGCamera.apk does not work for our V30 yet. It says "camera not found" and quits.
So don't install over your current LG Camera App as an update unless you want to break your stock app.
Is there no forum dedicated to the V50? If not, petition XDA to start one rather than confusing everyone here.

There is a V50 forum, but it's lonely there.
Most apps from later LG models can't just be installed on previous phones, as is. Yes, there are a few exceptions, but usually a dev has to get involved to remove restrictions. Was that way on the later Motorola cameras which Moto no longer gave updates to the Moto Quark (Droid Turbo/Moto Maxx/Moto Turbo phones). We got the updated cameras thanks to "porting" them, until things changed TOO much and it was no longer possible.
Anxious V30 Magisk module has cameras from LG G6/V40.

So all V50 discussion should be there, no? I understand it's new, no devs yet, etc but it seems like this thread is just to poach devs over to that phone. I mean, that's the reason I don't early adopt anymore, nobody willing to switch devices.

I'm interpreting he meant to help V30 by providing apks for V50 features. A lot of people request stuff like that, and a dev could possibly "port" some of this but needs access to the original files. So, these are the original files and something possibly can be done with them in the future.
And yes, people who request it expect it to be delivered on a silver tray ready to install -- but that's not how it works.
Yes and also I get bored, it's like we are 3 who owns it, but I'm the only one active on the forum. But the v30 has pretty solid forum. Also I find you as a true community with verry little trolling, arguing, and also I find you guys mature and with PERSONALITY. A key factor in these days where are so many many ROBOTS/SHEEPS.
I just want someone to port lg g8/v50'ui for v30. And the camera app. I don't get it why they didn't update the camera app like g8? Our camera app is also behind the v35 and g7
