New Camera V4 Released​

Sorry for the delay, my parents are on vacation this weeks, so I took this time to be more time with them.

The greater feature in this version are the Exposure modes and the shutter speed, the rest of the changes are below in changelog.

This versions as some minor bugs, like on SA exposure mode and shutter speed should not be available.

when choosing auto exposure mode, ISO and speed should be disabled and the same on other exposure modes.

when choosing shutter prio, max speed is 1/125s don't know why, when using manual, it always use the next ISO chosen, don't know why...

I was thinking... for the people that have faced some bugs on SA, not showing more resolutions, maybe is because of superior auto xposed mode. The best way to disable signature verification ( framework patch ) is to use some xposed mode, like serajr mode and enabling super user mode, or using xInstaller (hadn't try this mode).

I have made my patched code available on my github account

Special thanks to @Lanchon for the great DexPatcher tools. and to @serajr for the xposed mode, that came really handy to disable signature verification

Downloads and Changelog's are below.

And don't forget to hit thanks :svetius:

Important Discalimer:​

Be sure to have a System Backup, bootloop is always a possibility (we hope not).

I'm not responsible if something bad happen to your phone... Blah Blah Blah... you know the deal...

What Is:​

Well, this is a mod of the Z3 Camera with some features unlocked.

This mod is indicated to people who want more control over camera functions, like scenes, iso and more MP.

Current Features:​

Version 1:

In this Mod I have unlocked 15MP and 20MP on superior auto mode.

Unlocked the ability to use HDR and Scene modes on 15MP and 20MP.

Added more ISO values on the list.

Version 2:

Based on Z3+ camera (28.0.A.7.27_R6A)

Changed application name

Increased the default jpeg quality from 97 to 100

Added new exposure modes (this new modes appear in ISO, they are not complete, it's only a little taste of what I pretend to do)

Version 2.2:

Fixed lockscreen shortcut and lauching camera when screen is off

Version 3:

Based on Z3App 23.4.A.0.546_R14C

Added new Resolution in SuperiorAuto (8MP , 8MP WIDE, 15MP, 20MP)

Version 4:

Source made available on my github

Exposure Mode added on menu, auto, ISO priority, shutter priority and manual

Added option to control shutter Speed, 0 means 1 second, 12 means 1/5000 seconds

Modded menu order, since it has more options I opted for the more important settings at the top.

Fixed some translations.

Added new focus mode "macro", (for the interested people, give a closer look on the source for more details on the focus mode)

Cant remember if I made something else xD

More will become...

Prerequisites:​

A compatible phone like the Z series...

Root

Instructions:

First We will prevent bootloops and messed up things...

So starting from clear camera data and removing original camera App, choose the Graphical or Terminal way, or both if you want to have really sure of the process

Graphical way:​

go to settings->applications->select camera-> clear data

open your file explorer(Like ES File Explorer), go to "/system/priv-app/"

backup and remove SemcCameraUI folder

Terminal way:​

adb shell "su -c cp -r /system/priv-app/SemcCameraUI/ /sdcard/SemcCameraUI"

adb shell "su -c rm -r /system/priv-app/SemcCameraUI/"

adb shell "pm clear com.sonyericsson.android.camera"

Since we have a odexed rom, and our package has a different signature, lets patch service.jar, it's easy!!

Patch Framework:​

see this post for better guidance.

Also if you have serajr Xperia Xposed, with Super User Mode enabled, you are good to go, and can skip framework patch

Just use serajr xposed module to bypass signature verification (service.jar patching).

I can no longer tell you what was the Mod Edit. No warez allowed :angel:
