[Xperia Z2 General] manu44:
Yes I agree. The video has hell lot of noise. But the picture comes out clear. I took the phone to service center and they reflashed the firmware and issue was still there. He told me he can replace the phone for me, but i refused as this is only the problem and i dont want to get a newphone which is of a different batch and has hell lot of other Issues.
[Xperia Z2 General] King Cole:
Yeah, I've had this problem since I got the phone. I made a thread a couple weeks ago about it being an issue. I'm not updated to the current software, but I didn't think it would help, lol.

And it is very important to me as I'm a SnapChat whore in every meaning of the word, and, for some reason, the final image when taken in SnapChat is NOT made better as if it were taken with the Camera app.
[Xperia Z2 General] whiteblazer01:
I also have a 14w19, and I see what you mean. I don't mind so much as I don't use the front camera a whole lot (only with SnapChat, and the video quality isn't always the nest there anyway). I'm not bothered.
[Xperia Z2 General] itsxiao:
I'm bothered that for $700, the hardware and perhaps software in this case is so obviously flawed. I mean they really advertised the hell out of their camera prowess. But the front camera looks like the whole screen is dipped in sand.
[Xperia Z2 General] kabauterman:
It is clearly a software issue and I think it dosnt matter what batch you have, mine is 14W18 and in with really low light I have this issue but if there is some light left there is no problem at all and also the back camera did not have any kind of this issue in my case.
[Xperia Z2 General] King Cole:
I'm sure that it's a software issue. Why else would the picture be correct after actually taking it with the built-in Camera app?
[Xperia Z2 General] One Twelve:
It's hard to tell what you mean exactly here. Are you saying the display on the screen has small dots on it or the picture it takes is not good.

is this something that comes across in a video chat or not as in the other person sees the same as well.

Can you post a screen shot so we understand better what you mean ?
[Xperia Z2 General] manu44:
Actually i wont be able to post a screenshot of it. I am talking about the front camera, when you start it the preview window that we see it is full of noise and it seems as if it has sand all over it. But the final picture is fine.
[Xperia Z2 General] manu44:
I happened to click the picture from another phone. Just see the Noise. Even if i am under light then also the noise is there but is very minimal in case if I am in complete Darkness the screen is filled with Noise.
[Xperia Z2 General] le_lutin:
I have this too (and I suspect everyone does)

The front camera is quite simply not very good. The reason the captured image comes out slightly differently is most probably because it's a longer exposure (than realtime preview) and there's also some noise reduction in the post processing)
[Xperia Z2 General] manu44:
Yes, But i have a S4 and that has the same camera as this one,but the noise in that camera is 0 and is perfect. I am thinking to get the phone replaced for this issue. Which Lot is your phone?
[Xperia Z2 General] Xernoxis:
It is a big deal because if you use a 3rd party app that uses the camera the picture will have the noise. A great example is snapchat. The picture quality there is horrible. With Sony camera app it is actually not bad.
[Xperia Z2 General] One Twelve:
I've seen this mentioned with the Z1 as well on the sony forums, they said it's not a problem. Meaning there is nothing wrong with your device.

---------- Post added at 03:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:31 AM ----------

I'm not sure what snapchat is, is it like videoconferencing or some 3rd party still photo app.

You're saying the noise appears in video conferencing using snap chat or taking selfies with snap chat ?
[Xperia Z2 General] King Cole:
Does that mean that no one has found a fix to it.. ? It seems silly that the built-in Camera app is setup to "de-noise" (if you will) the pictures, while third-party apps cannot.

Snapchat is similar to texting, but uses pictures along with the text. Therefore, many of the pictures used in conversation are selfies. As someone who sends 50 Snaps a day, this is a rather large issue for me, and is thus far the largest and perhaps only complaint I have.
[Xperia Z2 General] One Twelve:
Maybe it was not clear, but i'm saying there is no de-noise in the stock app, you will appear grainy if you watch yourself in video on the Z2,videoing yourself.

Ah, the default app here will produce de-noised photos. Ask the developer of snapchat whether they can do anything. Or ask in the Z1 forum whether this issue exists or not.

3rd party photo camera apps will be ok as it will call the default firmware to process. I don't see why this cannot be the case also in snapchat.

man was that difficult to express:)
[Xperia Z2 General] manu44:
Well, I have installed a third party app as well and the noise issue is there also.

Interesting thing in this case is that if you record a video on the front camera [MENTION=921577]1080P[/MENTION] the finished video has all the noise in it as seen on the preview window. But in case of the picture the outcome is fine.
[Xperia Z2 General] King Cole:
I don't totally understand what you mean.. What I'm trying to say is that there is some sort of de-noise feature in the stock app. For example, here are two photos of me some hot guy that happened to be walking by, taken in the exact same (not so great) light, at the same angle, with the same settings, within seconds of each other.

Snapchat's image: http://imgur.com/VkFxIyc,WhhBx9W#1

Camera image: http://imgur.com/VkFxIyc,WhhBx9W#0

As you can see, for some reason or another, Sony's Camera app flips the image, denoises it, and adds ~250KB. The picture downloaded from Snapchat is un-mirrored and pretty bad.
[Xperia Z2 General] One Twelve:
ask the developer of snapchat whether they can do anything about it or ask if its been fixed with Z1. If its denoised in snapchat with Z1, then chances are they may fix it with Z2.

snapchat is pulling a grab of video that's why its grainy. Its quick and small but without any processing.
[Xperia Z2 General] manu44:
Yes Exactly My Point. The Front camera is ****ty. Now I just want to know if it is only in some phones or is it overall in every Sony Z2 peice.
[Xperia Z2 General] One Twelve:
i think its a snapchat issue not a z2 issue.

new device, slightly different camera library, breaks existing program.
[Xperia Z2 General] manu44:
Sir, I dont think so its a Snapchat Issue.

BTW, are you facing this Noise issue in you Z2 ?
[Xperia Z2 General] One Twelve:
You need to ask this question to a Z1 owner to gauge whether the problem can be solved or not.
[LG Nitro HD] abuulala:
Hi, i have a strange problem. i have been using alot of roms.changing different roms off and on. but i thought of trying original 187 kdz file. then i rooted it. removed inwanted programes and it was functioning great. but when i wanted to use 3G net,it was not shifting from G to 3G service. i tried alot of methods but failed.

then i installeted cm 6.0.4.5 and tried to install sphinx rom. it booted normally but stuck at setup screen. then started boot looping. i again flashed. but same thing. now i am able to install 4.2.2 but not 4.1.2 some how. 4.2.2 color os rom is working great but not 4.1.2 rom. i have repeated kdz flashing rooting bit no avail.

any advice suggestion.

mount point details of a110

Found a site which claims to have a bypass for recovery

site link : http://blukitkat.wordpress.com/kitkat-recovery/

i tried the update-binary with the CM11 rom, the rom flashed but gave a bootloop.

update-binary atteched.
[Micromax A110] ##W4TCH0UT##:
Yup... I gave those partitions mount points to him... And that's an fstab file.... V1..
[Micromax A110] subhashdas:
so where can we find the version2 fstab file???
[Micromax A110] MasterAwesome:
You might have got stuck at the boot logo it's impossible to get a boot loop since I didn't include headers
[Micromax A110] subhashdas:
when i flash the rom my battery was low what i saw was bootlogo than blackscreen and then again bootlogo and again black screen, my phone may have restared on its own due to low battery, i don't know.
[Micromax A110] rohit83:

[Micromax A110] ##W4TCH0UT##:

[Micromax A110] rohit83:

booted to recovery

Same bottom error

sdcard0 and sdcard1 can be mounted from mount and storage menu.

sdcard0 --> internal memory (phone memory)

error log generated but cant find it through file manager.

*whats the command to pull the recovery.log file
[Micromax A110] subhashdas:
[MENTION=5321417]MasterAwesome[/MENTION]

Recovery is working perfectly, every partition is mounting and formatting.

currently using the recovery_s.

just flashed Color OS and every thing is working perfectly.

I just saw that most of the Color OS ROMs are 500 ~ 600 mb, and to make them work perfectly we need a little bit more space in the /system.

One more thing

I have used your modified scatter file during the testing phase and now i am unable to use the original scatter file of Stock JB ROM.

any solution or suggestion.

Could Anyone Tell me How to Port Xperia C Rom i have downloaded and am stuck at rom not booting help :crying: and Btw [MENTION=3428781]subhashdas[/MENTION] I have already Partition My Phone without sptools

Like This Simple and Easy
[Micromax A110] subhashdas:
The partition apps that you are using is different that what i was asking.

our phone has primarily following partions

/sd-ext {External Sdcard}

/cache {system partition}

/system {System partition for installing system apps, eg setting.apk, systemui.apk etc}

/data {internal memory - for installing user apps}

/sdcard {internal partition for storage}

the app you are using just takes some spaces from /sdcard and adds its to /data partition so that you could install more user apps.

What i was asking was to increase /system partition to install more system apps, which the app cannot do.

even though thanks.

Correct me if i am wrong.
[Micromax A110] shahabazas:
Yes [MENTION=3428781]subhashdas[/MENTION] you are correct as many of the C2 user haved used the app to do the same and using the phone with the extended data partition even i.
[Micromax A110] dhrtlockeroo9:
[MENTION=5321417]MasterAwesome[/MENTION] when will you provide download link for users?:what:
[Micromax A110] andromodgod:
Nope U are Wrong Look it increases the whole root area In the attachement below i have shown the system area

in the screenshot u will see in the top area it shows that 136 mb has been used and 2.32 gb is free in system partition

[Micromax A110] subhashdas:
Can you post the same screen shot using solid explorer app.

download the solid explorer app from play store.

then i would be happy.

ROM porting

For porting xperia c rom there is no perticular guide available

you can use ROM porter tool but its not 100% accurate, but you can give it a try and then remove bugs using logcat.

If you are trying to port a ported rom then use any guide available in the forum and if you are trying porting stock xperia ROM then its very difficult. you have to use trial and error method along with logcat.
[Micromax A110] andromodgod:
U r Right only data is increased Sorry :crying:
[Micromax A110] MasterAwesome:
Guys, here is both the recovery.img and the boot.img first use this new recovery.img if all mounts flash my cm-11.zip with this boot.img.. Do not unzip my cm11 to add the boot.img.. Delete the boot.img inside the package and replace it with this one(Un-zipping will cause the zip signing to go void).

The recovery should work perfectly as the previous build had only 1 minor problem.

That's actually a better idea... I will build a new cm11 but can you just test the recovery and give me a feedback?

[Micromax A110] sharath0033:
Here extract this zip........open flash_tool.exe from SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1224.01 folder

Then load MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt file from scatter file folder....flash..

[Micromax A110] shahabazas:
Right now the problem is that i just have the recovery of Master Awesome on my phone which doesnt have the option of mouting usb storage so i cant transfer any other ROM in the internal sd card and i cant even know that is the adb debugging is on in the cm 11 zip of masterawesome as i am just on boot logo now i dont know what i have to do??? is flashing the stock ROM will work or for that also i need the adb on???

---------- Post added at 10:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 AM ----------

Can anybody let me know how to recovery or atleast flash any other recovery via adb sideload as the recovery have the install zip from sideload option so that i can recover my phone please let me know.
[Micromax A110] AndroTech:
Use SP Tool to flash any other recovery and then you can restore your ROM backup.
[Micromax A110] sharath0033:
Try my above method bro....in it latest TWRP recovery is there....if u flash the recovery you will be able to use ext and int memory from recovery.....:)
[Micromax A110] subhashdas:
as have been testing the recoveries and cm 11 i have been facing this problem a few times now by my experience,

The best way is SPTool.

download the attachment it has a scatter file a twrp recovery.

download sptool from the forum.

extract the rar on the desktop and use sptool to just flash recovery.

then if you have any backup in your sdcard you can restore it using the twrp recovery.
[Micromax A110] MasterAwesome:
Wait.. I'll look into the recovery which had both the sdcard mounted.. If someone could find that recovery and put it here it would be of great help.

Edit : I found it uploading the recoveries now..

Bro just now the adb is detecting my phone it is shown in the list of devices when i checked the adb devices so now please can anyone provide me a CWM Flashable recovery zip which i can push through adb in my internal sdcard and then flash the recovery via CWM and then try to recover my phone. And haan please provide the procedure of pushing the zip in internal sdcard as the command i tried is not pushing the zip in the adb push test.zip /sdcard0 or adb push test.zip /storage/sdcard0 i am getting error: closed
[Micromax A110] subhashdas:
Try these steps

connect phone to pc and start adb command prompt.

> adb devices

> adb shell

> ls [this will list the directory in the root, see the name of the folder sdcard or sdcard0]

> cd sdcard or sdcard0

>ls /sdcard [this will list the folder in /sdcard see if this internal sdcard or any thing else]

when the exact name of the internal sdcard if found then use the push command

for example if the internal sdcard name is "sdcard"

> exit [to exit adb shell]

> adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM.zip

note you have to place the zip file in the adb folder that is platform-tool folder where the adb.exe is placed.

CM10 nor CM11 is working at the moment.

Dev has compiled working recovery.

Now he is working on Boot.img and building CM11 from source.

So i think first boot.img will be released and after that or along with boot.img CM11 will be posted.
[Micromax A110] MasterAwesome:
That's what I planned... Can you get me a recovery log from the recovery.img I just posted cause one of the mounts are not working.. It's either the Ext or the internal...

Thanks [MENTION=3428781]subhashdas[/MENTION] [MENTION=5321417]MasterAwesome[/MENTION] [MENTION=628069]AndroTech[/MENTION] and a special thanks to [MENTION=5413091]sharath0033[/MENTION] for point out that the drivers and SP Flashtool work properly on 32bit system.

[MENTION=5321417]MasterAwesome[/MENTION] i just had a doubt that why we are not trying to flash the CM11 by the recovery created by [MENTION=4176821]bindassdost[/MENTION] as it is working properly and each and everything is working fine in it so is there some more things needed in the recovery which that recovery doesnt have???

By the way i am happy now as my phone is up and ON and again waiting for the new build to flash and test it.
[Micromax A110] MasterAwesome:
Here's my new cm11 cm-11.. the earlier one i uploaded i forgot to add the modules i compiled...

I have attached the recovery.img which the partitions added to mounts and storage. If this recovery.img doesnt mount it properly go ahead and flash it through TWRP

Only if it doesnt work!
