[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] monivan:
Oh i get it! U means OPTICAL zoom! Digital zoom is cropping the image like what u said! But OPTICAL zoom is a hardware capability issue! It's lens need to be moving forward or backward in order not to distort the quality of image! However Xperia s doesn't support Optical zoom, so the only way to zoom is to digital zoom!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Hermantje:
No, no , you're completely wrong. I don't mean optical zoom, nor do I mean ordinary digital zoom.

It's still called digital zoom though, as the camera only uses its sensor. Let me try to explain:

The 12MP camera has a resolution of 3000x4000. 720p video is 1280x720, meaning this video won't use all of the sensor's data, just a part of it. The idea is that when you zoom in, you begin to use more of a cropped image of the full resolution, but still 720p.

Try searching for how the Nokia 808 PureView can zoom, it uses its massive 41MP camera to do so without any moving parts.

I was wondering if the Xperia S could possibly do the same.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Hermantje:
Anyone??

A simple "No" with argument/reason would suffice too...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
As you said, PureView has a massive 41 Mp camera. You said that videos only make use of 1280x720 or 1920x1080 of the possible 3000x4000 that XS camera with photos makes. I'm not sure, but I think the phone doesn't have enough power to make videos at a such high resolution. Heck, most TVs today only can show at 1920x1080.

PureView can capture 1080p videos even with a single core because it has a secondary processor only for the camera...

All i said can be false, as I don't know much. If it's wrong, someone please correct me.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Hermantje:
It's not like it's going to record at 4000x3000, but rather 720p that uses the full sensor just for zooming. Look at the Nokia N8, it only had a 680Mhz processor with no additional camera chip. The Nokia N8 also had 'only' 12 Megapixels, yet it could do "lossless digital zoom".

I'm very curious to see if anything like this is possible by modding - you know, doing stuff XDA is all about ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SEFanX10i:
^

Yes I understand what you mean but unfortunately that is not possibly with the Xperia S simply because Sony did not include this feature. I don't think anybody can mod the camera for "smart zoom" except Sony developers.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Hermantje:
For some reason I thought some XDA developers were better than Sony developers, maybe just because they can mod a lot that Sony can't - or at least don't.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] komanguy:
Even flagship phones like sgs3 or one x can't have smart zoom. It's a shame. There is no solution at the moment.

Maybe an experienced c++ developer will make an app with such a feature.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] milton.bain:
I have n8 and e7. Both exhibit lens movement slightly (forward / backward) while zooming in and out. But this slight movement makes lot of different.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Hermantje:
I have yet to find a camera app that has a better and more functional interface than the stock Xperia S' one. Let alone being more functional. Such a shame :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] K900:
The camera needs to have a lens that allows optical zoom for this.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Hermantje:
No it doesn't. Just take a look at the Nokia N8, E7, C7 etcetera. Even the Nokia 808 can do this. It's called digital lossless zoom. Get it? Digital, so no optical parts moving or anything.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
The 808 has a huge 41 MP camera, and the zoom can be done up to 3 time without huge loss ((I think it will have 13 MP camera when max zoomed)

"What really matters in this world, anyway?"
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Hermantje:
That's in 1080p mode.

In 720p mode the N8 also with a 12 megapixel camera can do 3x lossless zoom, so in theory the Xperia S should be able too.

I'm beyond upset......I knocked my tablet and the screen cracked and is now unusable. What is the best thing to do? ideally i'd buy a replacement screen and fit myself, but as it's a new device I guess replacement screens are either non existent or only available from asus themselves. I'm thinking it may be an insurance job but as my excess to pay is £100 i'd like to explore alternatives if available. Any advice appreciated.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] moz90:
did you buy it from google play or a 3rd party store?

I own a mobile device repair company and a product as new as the 7 you need to pay the insurance or have Asus fix it. The cost of the parts right now are expensive/not available yet.

That'll do it every time, even if it had been Gorilla glass it would have gone, flexing is probably the number one breaker of large screens.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samw52000:
So I just got my Nexus 7 a couple of days ago. I'm loving it so far and ended up rooting the device as soon as I got it.

Now bare with me, this is my first Android (coming from iOS devices) so I'm still trying to figure things out.

I've flashed plenty of ROMs on older Windows Mobile devices in the past so I am familiar with the process (and work in IT for that matter)...

That said having been on iOS for several years I didn't have to deal with ROM updates (or choices) so I'm trying to make sense of everything.

So back to the question.

I got the Nexus root utility, rooted the devices... everything went smoothly and the device restarted with the SU app installed.

I went ahead and installed Busybox and Tibackup.

Now when starting Busybox it's telling me that it's failing to install the packages. I tried another Busybox package and it's able to get root access but not every single time... and again when trying to get the package update installed it's failing.

It is however telling me that it's rooted.

I made sure that SU is allowing all apps to run w/o prompting but somehow they don't even show in the app running in su mode so I'm not sure if the SU is working properly.

Tried other SU packages as well but still getting the same issue.

I've already installed a crap load of apps so I'm not looking forward to having to root the device again and wipe everything in the process.

Any other ideas would be welcome (or apps that I may be able to run at least to backup the installed apps).

Thanks,

Sam
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvmacd:
I would suggest trying SuperSU. Assuming you can get root access at least one time, SuperSU will be able to install its /bin/su binary.

Otherwise, all you need to do to re-root is flash Superuser. Download http://downloads.noshufou.netdna-cdn.com/superuser/Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip from your N7 and it will go to /sdcard/Download/

Reboot into CWM or TWRP and flash the zip.

That method is actually how I rooted because the tool that I used to unlock bootloader and install cwm would not root my N7. But I didn't know I could manually flash custom recoveries via the $ fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img method on my terminal. :silly:
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flimsy888:
If you already unlocked the bootloader you shouldn't have to wipe data to reroot.....
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samw52000:
So I've tried this again and same thing... I do have SuperSU installer and it appears to launch just fine but no apps appears to be trying to run in SU mode.

When I try to flash the CM recovery (which wasn't installed during the initial root) I'm getting and error as well.

I'm really not sure what to try next.

Also I installed Ultimate Backup and backup all apps (copied to dropbox). Not sure if I reroot the device and it gets wipes if I'll be able to use this to recover the apps and settings.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvmacd:
Hmm.. what happens when you type su into Terminal Emulator? Also does the supersu app show an error or does it look good?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheChaoticLlama:
Your problem is the superuser.apk;

Flash this and it will replace superuser.apk with a new app called SuperSU.

After flash it will take a couple of minutes to load, then, once loaded, open SuperSU and it will ask you to update, click update.

It should now be fixed. :) I had the same problem, simms22 helped me resolve it with this method.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samw52000:
I downloaded the pack listed above and ran the install (screen 1)

I fired up SuperSU (btw this was the app that was initially installed after I rooted the device, and it loads up fine. (screen 2)

Also here are the settings of SuperSU (screen 3).

Now when I fire up the Rom Manager app and try to use the "Flash CM Recovery" it still fails and gives me the same error.

Did I do something in the wrong order? Am I not supposed to just install the app listed above? The device never rebooted after the install nor did it prompt me to update when I launched the SuperSU app.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheChaoticLlama:
Ok, what did you use to root? I suggest downloading the Nexus 7 Toolkit and reflashing googles factory ROM. Then using that toolkit to root your device.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samw52000:
Ya NexusRootToolkit v1.5.2?

I didn't install CM at the time of the flash (was gonna use Team Win).

Should I just re-run the roottoolkit app and go thru the root process one more time then? How about backing up apps?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheChaoticLlama:
Use this and reflash google's factory image. Once done root with this also. :) You can back up all your apps with this thing too.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iElvis:
Did you try flashing TWRP in Goomanager?

Also, remember that the stock rom will reinstall stock recovery, even if you're rooted, unless you disable recovery-from-boot.p in /system by changing the extension.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samw52000:
Alright, I think I've got it. I reflashed to stock.

Ran unlock

Ran root

Ran flash CWM Touch

Installed BusyBox

Logged back on and was able to get SuperUser to prompt for permission to su (somehow allowing the give root access w/o prompting didn't work).

Now the only "issue" was that despite installing CWM Touch the Rom Manager app just didn't appear present when I loaded into the system.

I'm not sure if this needs to be installed separately from the Play Store.

Main reason to root was 1) be able to use a full backup tool (Ti backup seems to get a nod though Ultimate backup does look cool too, not sure which is better).

and 2) maybe mess around with some custom apps (like Apex though I'm not sure I need root for this anyways).

In the process of reinstalling my apps, worried that the backup I made thru the roottoolkit won't restore things the correct way and it seems easy enough to just redownload everything from the Play Store.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] scales11:
Hi all,

I currently have the nexus one and I love the vanilla experience (though MiUi is pretty decent too). I have been running ICS on it but it still feels kinda laggy.

I am considering upgrading to the 1x, but I want to be sure that I can root it, enable tethering, and run a vanilla rom rather than the HTC sense junk. I see too many roms in the development page (I think the organization of such topics is kinda a problem but thats a question for another post), and want to know if there are any that offer a stable vanilla ICS or JB experience.

Also, I know that gaining S-Off is still in a development stage for this phone, but is it necessary? Can we flash custom roms without that?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
if you're talking about the AT&T version of the One X(L) make sure the one you get is running 1.85 firmware or lower. 2.20 is unrootable and without root we can't unlock the bootloader either.

S-off isn't needed right now except to unlock the 2.20 firmware.

There are flavors of AOSP for both ICS and Jellybean. ICS versions of AOKP and CM9 are both VERY good since we have source code for the kernel for android 4.03 although it is incomplete because we still don't have drivers for the camera.
