[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chad_Petree:
It sucks a bit, because when I use use my phone to take pictures is mostly because I want to take quick pictures, when I feel like fumbling around with the camera then I use a dsrl :(

This is what the verge had to say about the z1 camera

" The Xperia Z1 can produce truly excellent images, but is held back by Sony’s penchant for excessive post-processing and a habit for overexposing outdoor shots. The most common artifices you’ll find in your pictures are a noise-reduction algorithm that produces artificially uniform blocks of color and an associated sharpening treatment that enhances edges. The exposure issue is sadly common among smartphone cameras: you get a sort of haze in outdoor photos where the camera shutter is kept open for too long.

Ultimately, though, these downsides are trifling compared to the Xperia Z1’s upside. An impressive amount of detail is kept even after Sony’s done its best to destroy it. The LED flash works well and doesn’t whitewash nearby subjects. Nighttime photos keep image noise competently suppressed, and even the full 20-megapixel pictures can look good under the right circumstances. It’s just a very capable piece of hardware that could’ve done with some smarter software."

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hermantje:
I must say, I agree completely with the text from The Verge. It's indeed very capable hardware. I'd love to see an experienced XDA developer tweak the camera algorithms themselves.

If only Sony had the camera software developers from Apple, the camera might've even beaten the Lumia 1020 (say what you want about Apple but their camera software is very good)!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chad_Petree:
Maybe their BIONZ image processing is the one to blame here?

I'm curious of the outcome of the photos while using cyanmod or aosp

Yes, I won't deny that the iPhone 5s is maybe the only camera on smartphones that works perfectly without tweaking it

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 5 mit Tapatalk
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hermantje:
I'm not all that much into actual camera algorithms, but I doubt that the BIONZ processing creates those odd stripey noise artifacts when you zoom in at 20 megapixels. I would just love to be able to set the exposure and focus manually, but perhaps these are all things baked into the hardware of the camera, to make this impossible to tweak ourselves. Again, I really don't know much about image processing.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chad_Petree:
I'm hoping someone else chimes in so we can understand a bit more.

I found this on the z1 compact review " You get a large 1/2.3-inch sensor, which can either shoot 20-megapixel stills or oversample — algorithmically condense multiple pixels’ information into one to make for a clearer image — and produce 8-megapixel pics."

what's the amount of free ram available now ? i had flashed the normal version earlier n i used to get only around 40 mb free ram :/
[Xperia Arc Android Development] redeemer01:
Lite version of the other Beanstalk boss?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iztnie:
wow in that's video the ROM is awesome, downlaoding...

thumbs up :good:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] redeemer01:
already flashed the rom I have no wifi.. how to fix this Sir? Wifi module?

EDIT:

ALREADY FIX!! I Will observe this ROM and give feedback soon
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iztnie:
yes, you must download wifi module. the link already in this post
[Xperia Arc Android Development] smokerman:
lite version with some files removed,some tweaks,some apps updated and new camera added with great results..rom is smaller and faster, pretty stable and with good battery life.:good:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ronak383:
still getting very low free ram. around 30-40 mb with only whatsapp installed :l
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bane.twit:
Auto brightness does not work. Please fix
[Xperia Arc Android Development] smokerman:
:eek:..use greenify and reboot your phone..do a full charge and let the rom settle for a day or two..for me its always 120 at minimum..:good:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Gabrech:
I have the same problem. Everytime I check "auto" it fails. But anyhow this is a great work !
[Xperia Arc Android Development] smokerman:
i think autobrightness is buggy from cm10 until cm11..:) i never use it,cause it drains battery.:good:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] matarratos:
thanks I'll try this rom now : Good:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] smokerman:
use also greenify to increase ram and dont forget to wipe cache at least one time in two days if you have many apps installed.;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] giannhs_n:
[MENTION=4496831]smokerman[/MENTION] on OP you say ""mainly camera, this allows faster and with a "fake" 720p and has more compatibility with some applications""

can you explain it more please? when you say fake 720p is 864x480? or 720p with fair fps rate?

--edit--

i saw your rom preview video, 864x480 is the video resolution seems good enough nice build

Thanks !
[Xperia Arc Android Development] MysteryIII:
Maybe you can look into ION for the Kernel for the future? Would be nice if you implement it to the ROM/Kernel when it's ready to use.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] WaterMelon90:
Nice Rom! Awesome battery and performance. A lot of Customization. Switch from Kitkat and is my 1st try cm10.2 rom and it make me love it!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] smokerman:
i dont have knowledge to do that..mike is the man to do it..this rom is stopped now as this is the last build..

i think the same..4.4.2 is good but this rom for me its awsome..a bit of lack of memory with many apps installed but with greenify and clearing cache once a day it works super fast and smooth and its almost bugfree.:good:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] WaterMelon90:
[MENTION=4496831]smokerman[/MENTION], If i am using Greenify, i turn on the keep notification with xposed installed, Will it really keep the notification on for all the social app?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] smokerman:
hum..i dont use xposed too much..but you can test yourself..but normally if you hibernate the app with greenify it keeps like that unless you disable it..it happened to me with a app,but with other the app still runs..so test, i dont want to mislead you.:good:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] MysteryIII:
It's a pity, seems there won't be many developers for such an old phone. But I really appreciate your work so far! Thanks for it!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] giannhs_n:
I am using greenify,it keeps nofications if you have enable xposed module...just a thing that i have notice some versions of greenify do not work correctly on our devices maybe you wont be able to get gms push on hibernated apps at all maybe you will be able to get all nofications with 1-2 min delay

Regards john
[Xperia Arc Android Development] WaterMelon90:
so i need to buy donate version to enable gms? or juz use the free version to use the keep notification only?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] giannhs_n:
gms feature is available on donation version.

Hibernated app:is like frozen app but you can open it from launcher or it can be triggered by outside events (gms"donation",widget,etc.)

What it dose?when an app is hibernated and have a push for example:viber when you have message it wake up(even on hibernated state), notification appears and after if the phone is not used it go back on hibernated state so if you have keep nofication on plus gms feature..the apps launch and hibernate and they keep the nofication massage on SystemUI even if the service from the app is hibernated again on the feature.

=====

If you use only keep nofication the hibernated app will not launch when you have message you have to open it manually or to be active on the following app

example:you have Facebook you chat, the messages will come normal but if you hibernate Facebook you wont get any new message only when you launch it,but if you had unread messages when you open Facebook and somehow the phone was ide or you hibernate all apps on greenify the notification you have a new message will the there but Facebook service will be gone.

Dark kernel not available, can someone upload please along with WiFi modules. Thanks!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Kaioh_shin:
hey guys

I'm a passer by in this forum (have another phone), but I must say I am impressed by all the great work you are doing.

I am here because I want to give new life to a friend of mines phone. That means I won't have as much time to test.

I am looking for a rock stable rom with every basic feature working, would you recommend this?

If my question goes against some rules I apologize, pls message me in private.

Thank you
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martint235:
All of a sudden the Android OS usage of the battery shot up to 76%. I usually get around 2% per hour but now I'm getting a 2% drain in 15 mins. The battery page shows Android OS as the culprit, Wakelock Detector isn't showing anything up and BetterBatteryStats just says Android OS is the big user. Easy One Hand has also appeared although I don't have this switched on.

I have done a restart of the phone earlier this morning to see if there was a rogue app kicking around and I've just finished charging it up to 100%.

Has anyone else experienced any issues in the last 24 hours?

Well, with so many people in the same boat, i have been having the same exact thing, what i found that even with the Location services disabled, the Android System still shows as location "running" in App Ops.

Check for this, Download app ops starter from market and under location check the android system, if you see location running then just disable it. it have no effect on any apps. You will get your battery back
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mirko1977:
Same here

I have the same problem, I am 100% stock.

What I noticed is if I reboot my phone the battery will behave correctly for a couple of days then suddenly Android OS will take over and drain it

With Android OS drain I get

3% drain per hour with no use (Wifi on every 20 min to sync)

10% drain overnight (7/8 hours with wifi on every 1 hr)

sometimes I have like 30 mins screen on time and the Android OS CPU total and Keep Awake over 3 hours (lol)

Normally, I get barely 1% drain per hr during the day if not using it and almost no drain at night

I already disabled NewsStand and I am about to try to disable Google+ even though I like the Auto-Backup feature.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martint235:
Do I get a prize???

Seriously I couldn't see anything either on here or on Google that related specifically to the last 24 hours. I'll have another look.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0079:
whats with the 24 hours ? people reporting this ever since. there are numerous posts about this on the internet. some say they found a solution, some solutions work for someone, some dont. my point was, that you making a new thread for this was pointless. and no, theres no prize for you. :laugh:

just in case you didnt see it... https://www.google.si/webhp?source=...-4QSP7IGgCQ#q=note+3+android+os+battery+drain
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martint235:
Ah you see this is where saying "Oh there's loads of stuff on this issue" is a bit premature. Yes I've read all that stuff and yes I got my battery life to a happy place.

Now since yesterday evening, I've suffered battery drain and was posting to see if anyone else had noticed a similar increase. It's a sudden change which would suggest that either Google have changed something or an app has changed in some way (although I'd expect an app to show up as itself rather than Android OS). A couple of months ago there was an update to Google Play Services that caused similar issues and was quickly fixed by Google. My not pointless post was to see if anything similar had happened in the last 24 hours.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0079:
OK then, I'm over and out. I had this Android OS drain just once. Didn't bother to look into it too much. I've let the battery drain till 15%, rebooted the phone, charged it till 100 and that was it. Hope you sort it out.

I think I've sorted it. It's early days yet but it appears to have been an update to the gReader widget. I've removed it and everything is settling down nicely. I'm going to let it drain though and then recharge it so I won't know for another day or so.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ninimo:
Greenify would be the best choice since you are on stock ROM. Disable some bloatware and you will observe improved battery life. Greenify requires root and Xposed Framework though.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EgaoNoGenki:
...do I force the apps to move to the SD card anyhow (and still have them work as before?)

I also would like a list of apps recommended not to move so I don't move them by mistake.

Having only 1.83GB available is getting on my nerves and I'm not getting used to it.

My last phone - Sony Ericsson Xperia Play had allowed moving to SD card so I wish all other Android phones would too.

So how do I disable whatever barrier prevents app-moving, and finally get them moving to my SD card?

I already rooted the phone, and TWRP doesn't allow me to select the tickbox to "Mount SD Card." I already partitioned it to get it ready to mount.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] texas:
Before I try the upgrade I just wanted to get a couple of clarifications. It is simply a "one click" process of running the executable? Of course I assume the phone needs to be connected.

I downloaded a file from the FTP site that I believe is the latest and greatest but I would really rather not fry my phone. <G>

Also, assuming everything goes okay will I loose any of my programs, and contacts?

From the folks that have had trouble, is there any kind of consensus of what cuased their problems? In other words should I avoid doing it if I've seen what with my 8125?

Thanks all,
