I changed the 4k bitrate in BIT_RATE_UHD but no luck(you can try that raises it a little bit see if it working) and it still get locked probably in some places in the system lib files or kernel. Since 4K(also 1080p@60fps and 720p@120fps) not yet a standard feature, there is no place in media_profiles.xml. I think there should be a place hidden in the system act as media_profiles.xml. I found our SemcCameraUI.apk does also contains the option of 1080p@60fps bitrate option(not only appear in SuperVideoCamera.apk), I've tried to change that too but no luck again.

I've asked Rizal for help but he has no interesting at all(I was originally thought he is very love video stuffs, very weird) just told me the hardware isn't supported at that bitrate. But then I have to prove him it works on Note3 xda board(and also on S4 s800 ver) since we are using the same S800 and DDR3 memory.

If you want to know how to modify .so files, I think you can read this whole thread.

http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z1-Z1s/Xperia-Z1-camera-blurry-pictures-with-noise-and-washed-colours/td-p/408219/page/6

From thread: But the thing is that Sony mobile team hear in Sweden told me that BIONZ only work in SA and in 8mp mode in manual.

I think he explained why the 8M always get focus better because only 8M mode will get use the BionZ(though the early ver of firmware is real bad on SA mode). And I really love 20M more than 8M, I know 20M got more details but ahhh...still focus is a much more important thing.

Sony will support RAW image again because Google does clearly speaking it for a standard feature in the future ver of OS but we have to wait Android LoL. And for the RGB565(16bit) and ARGB8888(24bit), I think they are for 2D GUI purpose, not related to jpeg compression. Because android does only capable to display 16bit color, even you force it to ARGB8888 it may not be a true 24bit display.

At last, can you tell me can I flash v7 on 4.4.2? I not yet upgraded to 4.4.4 though I will do it soon.

That's pretty interesting, it's weird how it only works in 8mp sa, I'll also take a look at how to change the bitrate in 4k. And yeah that's true, there was a way of getting raw, but that was in cyanogenmod and cyanogenmod based roms , until the creator jishnu got banned from the forums.

We have another way to get RAW image if the phone supports it in hardware. But RAW doesn't save the focus problem. It only let you to modify WB, exposure value and color more accurate.

I've heard the BionZ for mobile is only a software solution because unlike all the other Sony digital camera, guys don't really found the hardware chip on board(can someone prove it?). HTC and Samsung does use a dedicated ISP to control focus and post-processing. However, Sony only use the algorithm on our CPU to save money that's explain 20M can't support because s800 still not fast enough(s805/s810 on z3/z3c probably works) and it also explains why our camera always battery draining and getting hot. In 20M mode, you are just using the ISP in s800 SoC though it is hardware based but Qualcomm is real sucks about it....lol...

It has good and bad. If it is software base, we can upgrade it but I'm not sure about that because I don't see BionZ libs files existed yet. If it is hardware based then probably the first generation of it doesn't has enough processing power for over 8M.

The burst mode is controlled by Bionz engine and high speed will only work at 8MP because Bionz doesn't fast enough to handle. In v5, the standard burst in 20M does work though.

What's wrong with it? Mine is fine, im on Kitslim v8
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] TheEndHK:
I'm going to flash .108 and testing the camera today. The result on talk.sonymobile.com(I read Z1 and Z1c board) is very mixed so I have to get the answer myself. Because they are testing in very different lighting environment but put 20MP in just a 1/2.3" never can get decent quality at low night, people should not expect that. Apple on the other hand is more smart on Iphone6 with just 13MP 1/2.3". Indeed, my friend own a Sony digital camera with 18MP 1/2.3" ExmorRS and the result at low light is inferior to my old Sony digital compact 10MP 1/2.3" ExmorR.

Speaking for the SA, I really don't have much of problem but it will quickly change to sport scene when it detects you got even very little bit handshake and usually it will push the ISO up so you got excessive noise and that can destroy a bit color as well because our jpeg quantizer table is very high compression rate on chroma.

However, some guys been reported the color is improved in .108 in general and the denoise algorithm tuned a bit down so I think high ISO should be better now though at the cost of even more noises but should get a more clear and better color photo.

http://smartphonetechie.com/sony-keen-to-fix-image-algorithms-in-xperia-z3/

News from insider claimed that Sony does notice the poor software development of stock camera now and going to completely rewrite it in z3/z3c. Let's hope we can port the lib files or Sony let us to use the new one, or else I will be forced to upgrade to z3c.

Hi, first off I'd like to thank you for modding the camera app and your efforts.

Before .108 I installed version 5 and it worked like a charm. Now I've installed v7 on .108 and it's not working ok. (I installed exposed and module, enabled customizations and super user mode, cleared all camera and video data and wiped dalvik cache and cache).

- When I tap on the camera icon it FC.

- Using the camera hard button it'll open the camera and take pictures.

- Switching modes produces FC.

There are two problems. First, 4.4.2 is well-known to be camera battery draining because there is a camera bug by Google and this affected actually all android phones not only Sony. The bug is supposed to be fixed in 4.4.3 but only real fixed in 4.4.4 so you see perfect. Second, z1/z1c/z2 camera is battery monster doesn't matter there got bugs or not, it is just using more battery than LG/HTC/Samsung but it should be better in 4.4.4.

We can only wait Z2 to release 4.4.4 probably next month and port the files from it and make v8 ver.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] CM17X:
The biggest problem I see here, is the deodexing thing. I've tried v5 before on idexed 757,and no matter what, it never worked. I dint want to deodex because I read than odexed rom's run faster (correct me if I'm wrong)

In the other side, the other mod works without deodex, so I wonder why not make it almost Flash-And-Use, easy for everyone, compatible and workable for anyone.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Chocolatetrain:
They theoretically do but from my experience, they don't. Just deodex, there are many upsides to doing so ;) Also it is as simple as 'Flash and use' I had no problems with my zip

Dude, you are about to convince me lol
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] TheEndHK:
Odexed will get slightly faster loading and app start up time but you should be hardly notice the different on modern hardware like Z1. You will only need Odexed speed in some single core plus 384/512MB phone.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] CM17X:
So, De-Odexed runs well in our phones. What about the battery? I mean,. does it get affected by the loading of the deodexed apps?

Sorry about the little offtopic, sorry. Here, have a high five.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] TheEndHK:
DeOdexed mainly decreased the app start up time and gaming during from stage to stage(because loading time is slightly longer), no affected to the OS performance and pure gaming performance however. So, the impact is so small indeed and I don't think you can notice the different at all on a S800, 2G RAM device. No impact on the battery performance.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] TheEndHK:
I've just tested your v7 8M on .108 today, I think the overall result is good on 4.4.4.

1. The focus got a bit improved though still not to the level of Apple/HTC/Samsung but more usable now.

2. Noise is smoother and smaller, it may just used a stronger denoise algorithm.

3. White balance, saturation, contrast, exposure all are more accurate and tuned a bit up for more eye catching. The color in 4.4.2 is just too cold and not represent the reality.

I prefer the old way in 4.4.2 to preserve more noises and details together but since the focus and color also improved in 4.4.4, there is no way for me to go back .759 firmware.

I have no idea, but Sony probably disabled it, which means changes to the kernel which I don't want to do because I'll probably hard brick my phone lol. Maybe ask for someone like jishnu to make it for Cyanogenmod based ROMs, because in my opinion, the camera is much better because there's no terrible processing that Sony added, and it'll also be easier for raw and dng support.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] TheEndHK:
It will be a standard feature in Android L because Google will force very company to support RAW later. At this time, we can't do anything and won't got RAW. Expected z1/z1c/z2 to receive Android L after z3/z3c, so probably you will have it Q1 2015.

[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] TheEndHK:
I've done more testing. The focus is better in 4.4.4 so I will just stick with it, I have no choice because this is very important and good focus make the photo sharper and clear.

But I changed my idea, I now prefer the more natural color in 4.4.2 and 4.4.4 tuned a little bit up saturation and contrast much like Iphone and Samsung though still not to the level.

I think majority like the warmer tone color and lesser noise but that will loss the unique style of z1 and make it much like a copy color of Iphone and Samsung. I don't think this is a good idea. If I like that I will just get a Iphone and Samsung but they actually done a very good job and well optimized for warmer color tone.

Video quality is same, the H264 encoder in Z1 is still bad....lol... But it's super weird since the H264 encoder quality was decent in GB and ICS on my Xperia S. It beats HTC and Samsung in that old age but now just suck. What's wrong with Sony.....
