Use camera app, then flash :)
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] gregbradley:
Are you aware of how to use recovery to flash .zip files? Do that. Then goto settings, apps. And clear the data for the apps mentioned in the op
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] stopcallin:
Switching between back camera and front camera slow down after flashing this mod. A black screen is appeared with camera buttons during the lag. Any solutions please?

I got a weired problem, this v5 zip flashing over 761 version of rom, makes the camera apk ( semc camera ui apk) to disappear. But everything else works. Nb.- i have super user mod ( patched services. Jar through lucky patcher). So i tried to fix it, everything like wiping dalvic cache and cache did no help, cant wipe data of apk, becoz its not shown in "all apps" or anywhere else, even though its present in private apps inside the s/m ( and there is only a single copy in the whole system folder). Btw i fixed it using zip signer and signed it with platform certificate. now its showing,and no problems. So if u have forgotten to sign it after moding pls sign it ( or may take a look into the problem). Nb- all other versions work with out problems.( and, yes, i know that you have said those are signed and v5 is unsigned)

Thanks for the mod. Great work
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] mikailmohammed:
Clear back the data from the apps and it should work. I had this same issue and that fixed it for me.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] mr_negative16:
For all people who keeps sayin " camera app is gona after flash"

- YOU NEED to DEODEXED your stock rom before you install it.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Chocolatetrain:
Thanks and by the way i did sign it properly using zip signer i hate using a windows for this so i made this mod on my phone and also no problem;)

[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] brapicoco:
Deleted my camera app

I have done all the methods in the op. Used the camera, installed xposed and clear the cache then flashed the zip and still after flashing the zip after boot my camera app is gone.

please tell me where did i go wrong?
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] mr_negative16:
Deodexed it, read comments first before writing new one

I have stock odexed rom, and mod.v5 working normal!

---------- Post added at 12:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 PM ----------

If you have a problem "camera app is gone", you have to:

1. Download mod v.4 (20mp +15mp SA (120FPS + 4K EDITION)v2-signed.zip)

2. copy folder META-INF from mod v.4 (20mp +15mp SA (120FPS + 4K EDITION)v2-signed.zip) to mod v.5 (20mp +15mp SA (120FPS + 4K EDITION)v5.zip)

3. Flash again 20mp +15mp SA (120FPS + 4K EDITION)v5.zip

P.S. Sorry for my english ;)
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Chocolatetrain:
Don't do this, then you'll have to sign the zip again and the updater scripts are identical except for the ui_print

I wish to know what's the difference between this one, and this one
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Thechiller86:
In the other mod you don't have 100% FOTO QUALLITY at all and no 15mp/20mp in superriorauto. Correct me if I forgot something

Xperia Z1 LB i Hackers v4.1
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] CM17X:
But, not 100% photo quality just in Superior Auto or also in Manual 20.7MP? I'm using stock rom 757.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Thechiller86:
100% QUALLITY in Fotos... Changes for this are in media_profiles.xml so yes, also in Manuel mode

Xperia Z1 LB i Hackers v4.1
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] CM17X:
That's BAD as hell.

How can i uninstall he other mod and install this one without issues?

Thank you for help me out.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Thechiller86:
1.create a backup

2.wipe cache and delvik cache in recovery

3.flash the mod and reboot

4. Clear data of "common.camera, camera, video, camera.extensions" in settings/apps /all apps

5.have fun

[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Chocolatetrain:

[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] abbychauhan:
It will not work.. Already checked.. I dont know why Only Sony Camera (without any Mods like 4k and all) is so hard to Port for AOSP ROMs

If only Sony Camera Might work on AOSP ROMs then 4k and Other Mods can be think of, but first Step Normal Sony Camera Manual and Superior Auto Should work
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] MrInfinity:
It would be cool to have features of AOSP roms and Sony Camera... I checked it too but it don't work :(

[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] CM17X:
There is something i'm doing wrong but i can't identify what is it.

I'm o a new fresh install of Sock NUT 757, no mods installed before. After follow the steps, icon camera is gone.

Any ideas?
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Chocolatetrain:
Read the op fully
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] CM17X:
Trust me, i did it. I've wipe the apps and nothing. I'm no willing to install Cybershot.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] CM17X:
Sorry for bother you but i can't make it work at all.

I followed your instructions using a "fresh" install without mods. The only extras that i had are the AR Effects (Should i clean them?). What i did was this:

1.create a backup (Done, i did restore the clean install)

2.wipe cache and delvik cache in recovery (Done)

3.flash the mod and reboot (Done)

After reboot, the camera icon is gone. I went to the apps to clear them and the camera is tere, but the icon is not. What i did was going to the camer a through Ar Effetcs, i succed, but Superior Auto and Manual Mode are not tehere.

4. Clear data of "common.camera, camera, video, camera.extensions" in settings/apps /all apps (Done, but no luck, and also not all the apps mentioned (Common camera, cameras, camera and video have data for clean)

5.have fun (No, man, i am not aving fun. Hope you can help me)

It's my 4th restore to clean, and nothing.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Chocolatetrain:
oh okay and by the way the problem is in the data partition not the system so you can flash and restore all you want, it won't bring the icon back, also did you use the camera app briefly? I take a photo in sa and manual, then i flash the mod then everything works fine, sorry, nobody has found an actual way to recover the icon, apparently signing the zip with a different key fixed it but i tried and it didn't work, so sorry, i think you're gonna have to wipe the data and start over, this is what i've has to do every time i encountered this but i don't anymore because of the tip i gave in the op.(Using the camera before flash.) :good:
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] CM17X:
Well, after flash without luck, I restore everything.

Yes, I've used the camera before flash, as you recomemded. What u did not was to take pictures with SA. What I did was use Manual, set to 20 and take pictures, also, I set the SD Card to save them.

After that, I went to recovery to wipe cache and dalvik, flash zip, reboot, end gone.

I'm not sure if I have to clear data and stop all the apps like AR effects before go to recovery and make the procces I've mentioned.

By the way, my phone is 6906 Z1
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Chocolatetrain:
okay but i didnt wipe

anything

before i flashed my mod, also the model number doesn't matter. :)
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] CM17X:
I don't get it.

I mean, right now my phone is on stock status. So, next should I clean apps and then flash the mod without wipe cache and dalvik?

Sorry, but I can't find a combination which works
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Chocolatetrain:
Okay so from there, you should wipe nothing at all and just use the camera a bit, then activate serajrs superuser mod then flash my mod and check if the camera icon is still there, that's all i do and it works, try it, otherwise i have no idea why its not working :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] thalada:
Awesome dude, works fine.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Chocolatetrain:
Okay great so i know now that we have to activate the superuser mod before flashing! :)

(Ran out of thanks ;) )
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] CM17X:
Hey, is not me! Lol

I'm prepating some things before use your recommendation. Super user mod was always activated.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Thechiller86:
You need a deodexed rom like iHackers 4.1

Xperia Z1 LB i Hackers v4.1
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Chocolatetrain:
No you don't lol

I think it does help though!
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Thechiller86:
Not? Hmm..sorry

Xperia Z1 LB i Hackers v4.1
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] CM17X:
There is people saying that it runs like a charm in stock rom and odexed, so it seems like It's not necessary. Otherwise this mod should auto-fix all those problems, I mean, it should run out of the box for anyone using it (I know you are not getting profit of it, Dev, and I know you don't work for me ;) ). I mean, I followed everything as mentioned, still wont work.

Edit: I'm done with it. I surrender.

I did everything as OP says, no luck. I know part of the script or mod works because Timeshift and 4K are there, i can access to the camera by clicking on Ar effects, and then i select the others, but still, Superior Auo and Manual options are no longer listed o the menu and Camera icon was ate by a monster.

Dang!

By the way, it was using V5
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] AntiDroid:
my Timeshift Video qualitiy is terrible, any suggestions ?
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Chocolatetrain:
It's like that on the z2 apparently so i dont think theres anything you can do until after recording :(
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Chocolatetrain:
Haha well, try this if you can be bothered;

Wipe all partitions,

Install rom

-Boot and let it settle after setting up everything

-Reboot

-Use the camera to take a few pictures in sa and manual

-Install xposed and setup the superuser mod and reboot

-After its booted reboot and flash the mod without wiping anything at all

Probably, profit :eek:
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] CM17X:
I will, but have not much time to spent today, thats the deal :(

I know is no your work but, may i improve or use the 100% quailty JPG on te other mod? I mean, the other mod works for me, but i really wan to try a bi piece of your work.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] showlyshah:
Hey dude, i got the same problem, and i fixed it, seems like a signature issue of semc camera ui apk.

Just do this.

Confirm u have semc camera ui apk in private apps folder, ( though it wont show up any where in apps or camera modules). After flashing v5

Now move ( not copy) that apk to sd card or some folder in sd card.

Download zip signer apk ( google it) and install it.

Now find the semc camera ui apk from ur folder or sd card ( from where u put it)

Sign it with platform certificate. And the signed apk will be saved on same folder ( unless u change the save settings of zip signer) with "semc camera ui_ signed" name, rename it to old name, and then copy back the signed apk to private apps folder inside the system. Set permissions 755 or 644.

Reboot. Ur cam will be back.

Nb:- u need super user mod or shd have a patched services. Jar ( having apk signature check disabled) for this to work.

Hello afetr installing this addon, my camera is working fine.. 4k video and time shift video is also apperaing in camera addon and running fine but when i click on video button on any one of them either 4k video app or timeshipt i got error message "Unknown error" & no recording will be done. however in SA or manual mode video recording is working..

i cleared cache data of timeshift video & 4k app (videos) but no help.. i installed many times this mode but problem persist.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Chocolatetrain:
This is because the superuser mod isn't installed look at the op
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Chocolatetrain:
What's the other mod and sure just don't upload without my permission
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] manjeet15:
no superuser mod is already installed..

however problem is solved.. i checked that my camera app cant able to save any pic or video to sdcard.. i add sdcard permission in etc/permission..... & after that both the problems are solved..

i dont know why camera suddenly stooped saving pics in sdcard but now all problems solved & im using this mod..

thanks..
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] CM17X:
This is the only TimeShift Video that works for me. Obviously i'm not a dev, so, maybe i'm talking dumb things, but, i dont know if it's possible to have your 100% JPG quailty runnin on it, as olong is the only thing that works (To me).

I'll try the [MENTION=3783716]showlyshah[/MENTION] workaround later on, anyways.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] ahmed1369:

[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] CM17X:

[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Chocolatetrain:
Oh no sorry, the meat of the modifications are in the smali of the actual apks, you could try removing the apks from my mod and repacking it and flashing that then replacing the apks which will probably work but anyway try slowlyshahs method it probably will work for you :)
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] CM17X:
Seems like a pain right where the back lost its name. I'll try the method suggested and i'll let you know if confirmed or not.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] rafhagunz:
To fix the bug in the camera app that disappears, deodex your system and reflash the mod! work to me

[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] hottomato:

Hi there,

Mod seems to work fine for me. running 757, rooted, deodexed.

Only issue I can find is that if your using either 4k or timeshift video when you press the back button it opens chrome for some reason. If you switch back to SA or manual first then presss back it exits camera like normal.

Don't know if this is a bug or something I messed up on.

Hottomato

Mine is a C6943, with official 757, UB e fully rooted.

Any tip?

Cheers!
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Chocolatetrain:
Try removing the odex for Cameracommon.apk in system/app maybe? If not, try swapping it for the one in IHackers then if that doesnt work I dont know lol ?

Do not advise people to unlock the bootloader in order to root. There are much simpler and less intrusive ways to do it, also there is no need for a custom rom, just root and recovery (And you can even do it without recovery) on a stock 757 FW is enough

No, there is absolutely no need to unlock your bootloader

But you must have root.

Also, OP, many thanks....I really like this.

[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Chocolatetrain:
That's to do with whatever you installed, check xblast and gravitybox settings I remember I had this problem somehow with both lol
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] hottomato:
I don't have either of those installed, only have the xposed framework and serajr module with superuser mode enabled. Then your mod.

It's not a deal breaker for me just thought it could be a bug, as it's not I'll see if I can find anything I did wrong.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Chocolatetrain:
Okay well I don't have this problem so I can't help you further I don't think ?
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] hottomato:
Ok no worries.

Just out of interest, what were the settings you changed (in gravity box and xblast) that made it go away?
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Chocolatetrain:
I made it so when you long press the back button it opens an app but i think i chose the wrong app and it kept opening a poweramp theme, this was in gravitybox

My camera app was gone, too.

My solution:

-uninstall and reinstall xposed framework (not the app), activate module and reboot

-delete data+cache from apps using camera+AR effects as already mentioned in this thread

-download V4 instead of the latest http://d-h.st/R98

-reboot recovery, wipe dalvik+cache

-install ZIP

-reboot system and camera app should be there again

-Now just delete data+cache from apps again (possibly not nessary if you didn't used the camera app)

-reboot recovery, wipe dalvik+cache

-install ZIP V5 this time

-reboot system and camera app should be still there again

Good to hear and also the three main differences you'll see between 4k and normal fhd is that it has slightly less grain, slightly zoomed out and probably more sharp, i barely use 4k haha
