I have a few questions to the various custom rom users for this phone.
Right now I am using stock rooted rom. The features I need most are the stock camera app which I really like, as well as the various slow motion options (regular slomo+ super slomo).
The one feature I want most that does not work on rooted stock is screen mirroring (which starts and then fails due to HDCP issues caused by loss of DRM on bl unlock).
So, my questions are:
Do any of the custom roms include both of these options? (Tested by users. For example screen mirroring option exists in stock and existenz, but I don't know if it works. If any existenz users can confirm this to be working, that is enough for me)
I don't want to flash a rom just to test, because I'm afraid that I might not be able to set up the working camera on stock again. (In case the needed features don't work as required)
If not,
Can I flash sony camera on a custom rom? I remember seeing a magisk or xposed module for sony framework, but I can't find it now and I don't know if that is updated to current framework and apps or not.
If flashable, will the stock camera features work?
To be honest, if I could relock the bl and just use the vanilla stock I would do that, but... not an option on Sony unfortunately.
Thanks all
p.s- Is there a whatsapp group for this phone?
currently stock is the best for camera and screen mirroring won't work with existenz since it is a stock rom patch to give you more customization you can join sodp and existenz group on telegram links should be in this forum

Custom ROM camera quality will raise each month.
In certain conditions we already have a better quality.

Hey i have a question Is it possible to use the normal stock sony camera App, while usig the Paranoid rom?
I really love this rom but the stock google cam takes really ****ty pics
Hey,
Firstly, I believe the Sony camera would require the Sony framework...so no - you wouldn't be able to use that camera on a non-Sony based rom.
Secondly, there's a Paranoid Rom for the Xperia Z??
:good:
Edit: Found the PA thread.

In simple terms stock based roms will use the Sony skin and many of Sony's apps - typically the developer will have tweaked the build to improve performance or used the most recent version of Sony apps from higher end devices (the Z1 for example). They may also add some extra features - (using the volume buttons to skip music tracks/advanced reboot menu).
Custom Roms won't have any of the Sony features and generally will be closer to unskinned AOSP (Android Open Source Project) in appearance. They will mostly have some unquie features and be more options for customisation than a stock based ROM. Developers can also release higher versions of Android than Sony, allowing the user to experience Kit Kat long before Sony release a build. They tend to perform better than stock builds because they are less bloated. Sony has significant facebook integration within it's builds for example, similarly whilst it's possible to ignore it, there is a lot of secondary marketing within a Sony build trying to get you to use their music/video/games services. Most of these apps are heavy, slowing down the device. The SP copes fine, but their are definitely smoother custom roms out there.
Ok thanks !

Stock rom, rooted, custom recovery and xposed framework do a great job!
Needed Custom rom go for cm 12.1 stable with new themes (there is android n preview theme also ).
if needed fast and cm like rom then use slim rom 5.1.1 rom for honami xperia z1
if needed camera tweaks and advantages of sony apps go for stock rom
and want some new features on stock rom then go with xposed frameworks and custom mods

Hi,
I would like to ask if anyone tried to make AOSP camera blobs work on stock kernel based ROM on XZ1 Compact?
Is it possible? Are there any problematic points known in advance which I missed?
If I am not mistaken that would allow us to use GCam (Google Camera) on stock kernel based ROMs such as LineageOS 15.1/16.
I know currently those blobs are compiled against different kernel version (Sony stock - 4.4, Sony AOSP - 4.9) but for some time both used kernel 4.4.
Best regards
Has anyone used AOSP kenel version 4.4 based custom ROM with Google Camera (gcam)?
I wonder whether it would be possible to use AOSP camera blobs/drivers instead of stock ones in order to be able to use gcam with stock blobs/drivers based custom ROM (such as LineageOS 16.0).
Unfortunately, I don't have the XZ1 or XZ1 Compact to test it out by myself.
