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?

There is already a XZ3 camera port, reporting improved performance with low light and frame rate, but I haven't tried it so I don't know if it works.

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...

Just received my brand new Z3,but already feeling the itch for some customization.
Someone already tried playing around with xposed?
It is fully working or at least some features?
Thanks
After rooting/bootloader unlocking the phone, I installed Xposed. It works well. I use the following:
App Settings - I made systemUI (and most of my non-sony apps) 240 dpi.
GravityBox (smaller nav bar, orange icons, replacement battery, AM/PM removal, 3 dot on nav bar right, search on nav bar left.
Tinted Status bar
Xperia Xposed - installed but I decided not to use anything
Please note, per conversations on general, unlocking the bootloader will irreversibly worsen the camera's low-light picture quality and kill native miracasting/chromecasting ability linked to Sony's DRM keys
I'm using tons of Xposed modules and I couldn't live without it. It's one of the greatest pieces of software ever written and I'll stay away from Android L until Xposed works on it. i never felt the urge to use CM or another rom since I'm using Xposed, GravityBox alone is such a mighty module that it replaces a plethora of third party rom features.
It's really hard to live without Xposed after having it for so long on my Moto X. I'm just not willing to lose the camera quality by unlocking the BL. Of course, there are other things I'm itching to do as well with root (like freezing and deleting lots of useless apps that suck battery!)
I am using xposed with
- xstana module
- tinted status bar
- gravity box
Everything works perfectly!

I don't mind losing some of the camera quality either, I believe that people will either find a way to reverse the process, or make something better.

I istalled Xposed and run xled, xquiet hours and cyan lock screen the lose of the cameras low light abilty is not a big problem i use camera fv5 and change the iso settings
So no way in hell to get root without unlocking the bootloader?
i was using pie controls from gravitybox with navbar disabled, but i found out that pie doesn't appear when using camera with physical button with phone in standby.... anyone can confirm this?
I use XBlast and Xposed LED Control.
Both works fine. What does NOT work is GravityBox. But why? Can someone help me?
When trying to start it, it says "GravityBox System Framework does not answer" in german. in english perhaps its something like "cant retrieve System Framework data" or something like that.
It doesn matter how often i try, always the same error message

You need to enable it in Module and restart phone. After that you can do what you want! In Download section, you can find more module with search filter by typing: xperia

I think gravity Box can not handle sonys ui. Had it before on lg g2 stock rom. Just some features worked. Keep in mind that gb is actually for vanilla kitkat(aosp,maybe cm)
GB worked fine for me on the Z1C, but eventually some features require a deodexed rom. I've always been using RomAur.

If you think that Sony camera app will produce a better picture, you are mistaken. You lose a bit of quality when you unlock your bootloader and it has nothing to do with the actual camera app. In other words, changing camera app (including Sony) won't produce any better picture. Apart from that, Sony camera is full of bloat...

Thank you, but l want to install Sony stock camera
Hey everyone, here is a magisk module that will allow you to use both G5 and V20 cameras at the same time on a stock LG nougat rom.
For the ones that don't use magisk, delete the stock lg camera folder in priv-appp,then copy and paste only the two camera folders from my zip to priv-app.
Remember thatV20 camera app doesn't have manual photo or video yet on G5 cause of smali editing that's needed to put those options on the main screen. (now they are located on the second screen that only V10 and V20 have)
Enjoy (by the way re-uploads are welcome cause my Internet speed sucks. :laugh:

Thanks for this mod. Can these files be used in a Marshmallow environment? Or is the structure too different?
If the answer is no (as I suspect) this may be a good reason to upgrade to Nougat...

Magisk override the stock camera.
It install some libs too, if the user isn't on stock rom.
The easiest way back would be a dirty flash.
When I open Magisk manager and I click on + under the Module menu and I choose your module it open the zip instead of installing it.
Should I install it through recovery?

The libs are for Oreo...
You could try to add the HwCamera2 folder alone to /system/priv-app/ without module and see.
That should work. Maybe the app didn't start, but you can see missing dependies in logcat.
i'd like to see logcat too, may i can improve something for other kirin devices.

The libs for Porting a from Oreo (P20pro as source) .
It should work on other Versions too, but because the "newer libs" a debuging is needed for compatibility.
The only way is that someone test and provide a logcat.

I try to install it on P10lite with Nougat, now I have no camera und also the command to go back or home.
It doesn't show also the connection to the net, but I'm able to do a phonecall, but now I'm stuck on the phone menu.
I try to produce a logcat with these command:
adb logcat -v long > p20camera.txt
I attach it
What should I reflash to restore my P10lite, System or Boot image?
Doing a reflash through Hisuite, will lock my bootloader again.
After many reboot Magisk manager was not crashing after opening and I could uninstall the module.
Now the phone is working again and the camera is again working on the phone.

thats an magisk error. simple clear repo cache...
so far as i have seen in the log the problem are missing arguments in cameraserver/the lib of it.
i will think about adding the server with libs to the modul too.
btw the slowmo don't works because it has dependies with stock gallery... so far...
thx for logcat, that helps much.

when your device has all hardware dependies, it should. it is original camera from p20. nobody tested till now, cause missing hardware. libs are not included and had to be in your system.
The camera automatic shows the mods which could work.

READ THIS FIRST
Some (quite a few) users have reported various breakages due to this module. It is not really possible to fix them, since it seems that DRM might be integrated to tightly into some ROMs. You have been warned.
Description
A Magisk module designed to disable DRM (Digital Restrictions Management) completely on Android devices using Magisk, for reasons of security or ethics (see: Opposing Digital Rights Mismanagement and Examples of proprietary DRM).
Installation
Install through Magisk Manager
OR
Download the module from the releases
Flash the module through Magisk Manager or TWRP/OrangeFox
Grab the newest release on GitLab or GitHub
THIS IS NOT A MODULE THAT WILL HELP YOU BYPASS DRM PROTECTION
Quite the contrary, it will make you unable to watch any DRM-restricted content.
This is an alpha release
I am not responsible for any damage done to your device by this module, so flash at your of discretion
LOOKING FOR TESTERS!
If you're interested in helping the project by being a tester, please refer to CONTRIBUTING.md

It's a simple module that removes DRM components (services and libraries) from your device for reasons of ethics or security. See the OP for links about that.

Hmm, wonder what causes it. Must be an OP-specific issue, since I have tested the module on a gappless G6 with Havoc 3.4 and didn't experience that issue. Also, have you tried rebooting twice?
