Gonna hijack this thread for some space to give you a full review........

They are targeted for different market segment. Z1c/Z3c is for perfect one-hand size with reasonable screen size(especially z3c got 4.6"). S6 is aimed to barely enough one-hand operation, I found S6 is real thin and light weight(same weight with z1c), little times I've problem with one-hand but most of the times I'm fine. G4 is for big screen taste and fall in two-hand operation market, indeed you gonna put Note4 or upcoming Note5 to compete with it, not giving S6.

Performance-wise I think Z1c/Z3c enough for two or even three more years consider they are just 720P resolution. If you do care best battery should go Z3c. It is a beast, enough for two days usage with one charging around 40 ~ 50% more juice over Z1c.

S6 better than my expected. The battery is good now after 3 weeks optimize and disable location service and Google play services, they are buggy and drain battery on 5.0.2(also happened on Sony and HTC). S6 is enough for one day power when you enable power saving mode bcoz I consistently got 7 ~ 8.5 SOT(screen-on time) in last week with LTE on but just some normal Internet and whatsapp, no gaming. So, you can imagine light use is definitely enough for a super long SOT while heavy user I think should manage to get 5 ~ 6hrs SOT. The battery performance indeed is around 20% than Z1c.

What real S6 outperformed Z1c is the screen and camera. The 5.1" 2K is currently the best AMOLED speaking for the color accurate and much clear and larger than Z1c screen. Camera overall is better: Focus and speed like 3x superior(focus can't beat ip6 but no worse ip5s in my opinion), low light is noticeably better bcoz of OIS introduced. I can even take photo with just 1/14 handheld and still manage to get a clear image. On the other hand, Z1c camera got some advantages like a bit balanced auto exposure, more reality of depth of field(DOF) and better color reproduction. S6 got some washed out but I think it is bugs and will fix later. G Lens is better but only when you view on a large computer/TV screen, I found the DOF on Z1c always better. The color on S6 is too warm and I prefer a bit cold on Sony.

G4 got f/1.83 and 3-axis OIS(S6 only 2-axis). 3-axis will only perform real better during video recording and 2-axis should enough for photo taking. On some first hand G4 reviews, we can see that S6 got better focus result(which LG always normal in this area but better than Sony) and image quality is at identical level(both 16MP 1/2.6").

LG G4 vs Galaxy S6 Edge Photo and 4K comparison

Hi op, can u reduce purple effect when take picture in low light condition?
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Spencer_D:
Finaly someone else notised purple tint on low light images using this mod (without this mod There's NO tint)
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] zezadas:
The purple color is because of the low iso, the ring form is the sensor heat being captured by the camera.

I think that happens with every camera app...

Z3c got 20MP mod on HDR and scene mode, not only 20MP on SA. Someone who tested Z1 also works with this modify method in that thread. Plz try to make 20MP HDR/Scene in your new mod cam too. :D
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Spencer_D:
Still there's no purple color without this mod
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] zezadas:
Can not explain that, I have stock camera on my z3 and that ring happens too
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] TheEndHK:
The anti-glare coating on my z1c len is indeed purple color(not sure z3) when I check it out at a very low angle I will see purple on the surface. So, sometimes it may got reflection from the coating if the software failed to correct it.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Alvian_P:
low ISO or HIGH ISO? I think when high iso

My z1 lens have purple color too, but it can removed with metal polish :laugh:
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Chocolatetrain:
I thought it was the colour of the glass, and yeah low ISO bring more accurate colours, so darker, no purple images :)

[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Chocolatetrain:
Okay so i've updated the op, now there isn't a modified camera icon version, it's just stock and there's also a package to replace the sounds with stock ones, steadyshot not working as of now, also the double apps should be fixed if you clear the data for all the camera apps and dalvik and cache (the usual). Also there's an actual update to the mod, go check it out! :)

Also i'll try to remove the startup sound now.

Check the bottom of the OP to see what to do if you still have double apps!

sorry guys.. i have a question

I used a kind of timeshift video before and that was about 45fps

but this one is awesome and much better than that and no camera problems like that

is it really 120f or less than that?
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] gregbradley:
It requires xposed framework, which itself requires root.....

However, you can install the superuser mod manually (SO you do not require the xposed framework) however, to install that manually you need root.

So, in all cases root is needed

[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Alvian_P:
I think, purple colour in lens glass is a UV filter, right?
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Chocolatetrain:
Probably not, it's probably how the lens physically works, like how it handles images when there isn't much light. Otherwise Sony wouldn't have the coating.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Chocolatetrain:
I just sent my phone back to Sony again, due to the annoying erratic touchscreen, which is why I had it replaced previously, so whenever I get it back I can start the camera mod, before I move houses. :D

Hi, few hours ago i was new to all of this android hacking but since then i`ve rooted my 4.4.4 c6902 on stock A.0.157, installed dual recovery, Xposed framework, activated supseruser mod by Serajr, cleared datas and cashes and was totally HAPPY before last step BUT now i get "zip flashing failed" in terp or "aborted" in cwm while trying to flash v8 20 or 8MP.

PLEASE, what could it be?

thank you.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Chocolatetrain:
Incomplete download, redownload it and if that doesn't work, try a different browser/device and it'll definitely work ;)
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] andreydat:
thanks! it worked! only now stock app "stops" to work or is "unavailable"(

so far as i could get from thread the only way to bring it back is to reflash the rom - i downgraded to .108 and reinstalled the mod but it`s the same again, sony camera app crashes(

so does it mean it just would not work (on my particular device) or there are some workarounds? thanks
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Chocolatetrain:
Did you install v8 on a fresh install? By that I mean flash a rom, boot once, then flash the mod.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] WWH_0311:
When will the V9 release?I am waiting for a long time alr
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] andreydat:
yes, fresh, although booted more then once - had to root and install recovery. camera actually works in SA, it crashes on manual. maybe something with app data clearing procedure?

thanks
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Chocolatetrain:
I'm having problems with compilation and I can't fix it, I'll maybe release it eventually :(
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Chocolatetrain:
I have no clue, this never happened to me, re-try the wiping procedure maybe?
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] tenjou_89:
hello and thank you for posting this. though i dont understand:

what is the difference between doing all of this and just installing the 20MP SA xposed module? (http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.wedy.auto20mp)

i dont mean rudeness, just want to know. thanks
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Chocolatetrain:
No that's fine, mine just adds quality improvements as well as the new resolutions, and a pro to installing the mod over xposed, is it won't slow your phone down, which becomes a problem once you have multiple modules active. Mine also comes with audio improvements.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] tenjou_89:
thanks for your informative reply. is there any way of reverting the changes after flashing?
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Chocolatetrain:
No problem, and the only way would be to reflash your ROM or to revert the a nandroid backup you might of done previously.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] tenjou_89:
thanks a lot for replying. I will try this in the night then
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Chocolatetrain:

Hi . I successfully installed this mod on a deodexed .157 rom. However I am having this issue with superior auto: low light photos come out vertically enlarged. How can I fix this? For now the solution is to switch aspect ratios from 16:9 to 4:3. But I would like to take low light photos in 16:9 normally. (attached pictures for comparison)
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] tenjou_89:
also, is there a way to set 60fps recording by default in superior auto?
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] someone2kill:
Well, i've put this awesome mod in my Z1 with .157 deodexed stock rom... It works really nice, timeshift and 4k are working really awesome!

BUT....

Almost everytime i try to watch one of the videos i create with timeshift or 4k, stock Sony video player says it can't play the video... :/

And sometimes after using 4k or timeshift, the phone gets a little hot even some minuts after stoping using the camera...

Anyone with the same issues?
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Chocolatetrain:
That's to do with your rom, I didn't have these problems, I can't really say what's wrong but probably the editor had been updates by the update centre, so uninstall the editor and rei stall the mod and don't update
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Chocolatetrain:
No, sorry
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Chocolatetrain:

Overall better quality?

I noticed there is a purple tint, more noticeable on lower light condictions, makes photos feel like they lack contrast. Or a slightly dirty lens feeling.

Has anyone got it to work on XPERIA Z1 5.1.1 rooted and with xposed and xzdualrecovery? :/ cause I tried to flash it through twrp and camera not responding pop up was showing up, then i tried to reboot again and got into bootloop. :(

Now did everything from scratch(flashed .270 fw, rooted with supersu, installed xzdualrecovery, flashed 5.1.1 pre-rooted with supersu... currently seting up superuser mode with serajr's mod.) and then going to try and flash this camera mod again...

Long time no see Chocolatetrain, which phone you are going to swap to? I've got Z5 Compact now so I owned S6 and Z5c two new phones, actually I'm thinking to sell out one later, not decided yet.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Chocolatetrain:
Hi HK, I've swapped to an IPhone 6s Plus which I now regret massively but what can you do :P I'm going to sell this in a years time and buy an android flagship
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] TheEndHK:
Iphone can be always selling out quick and still worth much money, it's not hard to change to Z5 family with me now :D But indeed there is not many development, S6 got more devs. Both Z5c and S6 is a very good phone, I'm stuck now and have no idea to sell out which(but probably I still like Sony a bit more).
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] motorazrv3:
Wow. You are on a flagship and regret it!?

What's wrong with it? IPhone has got a fantastic camera, screen size grow up, ram grow up,... etc. Nearly everything changed positive.

For me the thing would be the operating system. Ios is so different if your are using android a long time. But Ios is not bad. Once you have got used with ios I my opinion the iPhone is a great phone.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Chocolatetrain:
Literally just because of iOS, I prefer android. I agree though of course this is a great phone, it's not as if I don't like it, it's just id rather have waited and got an android flagship ?

[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Kuikelo_:
So will this work on Z1C Android 5.1.1 (14.6.A.1.236) and if not which is substitutive mod? Spent an hour googling and using xda forums search but didn't find any relevant info. Increased video AND especially video audio bitrates I'd raise into the most important matter.

And then comes a little question too. I just love Open Camera app. With all-stock Z1C I can change focus to macro, infinity (important feature) or lock it where it is. I can even lock exposure and select white balance from provided settings. These adjustments exterminates the worst enemy of all videos, pumping focus and pumping white balance. Cheers!

In Open Camera settings there are video & audio bitrate and frame rate settings. But they have no effect except downwards. Media profiles xml hack is the question. Because Open Camera could use higher bitrates is the media profiles xml the only one in need to edit? How are vide framerate? If I set 24 fps (the industrial standard) or 25 fps (EU standars, 30 fps is silly in here) the app crashes. Can we make all good via editing the media profiles file?
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Kuikelo_:
So it seems like you should buy a better phone. Even Samsung Galaxy A3 has more control over when you use Open Camera (And no need to alter media_profiles).. You can for example change framerates 24, 25 and 30 fps and audio has superior over 200 kbit/s bitrate. Hear it you can, much more depth in stereo image and more detailed noises at backround.

Still I, and I think many others would like to know is it possible to use higher bitrates and/or other framerates on Z1 C with Open Camera (or any other "full capability" camera apps), editing only the media_profiles? I have understood you don't have to go through Xperia Camera mess. You only edit media_profiles.
