CM12.1 and Sony AOSP, both of them I've just used for mins so I just can tell you that CM has more customization, the bad camera quality on AOSP is caused by kernel 3.10 but the quality of front camera in low light is much better than CM and Stock.

Camera2 API

Wow I flashed 151205 build just for try and full Camera2 API. Every manual setting works except Manual White Balance and RAW works too. I tested it with Manual Camera. Manual Focus works but only when I set it near to macro focal lenght (objects nearer than 1 m are out of focus) otherwise everything is out of focus. Manual ISO works very strange. It is brightest at 325 and darkest at 800 and 100. It looks like Manual Shutters Speed works fine and Manual White Balance doesn't work. Thank you fxp team. I hope sometimes in future it will work flawlessly even on Stock rom. Here are photos to compare Stock ROM vs AOSP. As you can see there is much more detail in AOSP photo but lot of noise too.

Good to hear. Yesterday I saw that there is a new version available. I was really tempted.

How is your battery life? And is hw encoding working (for YouTube etc)
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] RyTekk:
There're a lot of thing to do with camera, first is focusing, second is ISO (max ISO now is only 789, I don't remember exactly but it's around 700) so the photo in low light is not good for brightness but detail is amazing (even better than stock I guess it caused by BIONZ do noise reduction). Some apps such as Smart Compass, Barcode Scanner, QR Code Scanner can't use the camera. And I hear a "tick" sound at camera when open it or turn LED on, the camera also draw a little (sorry I don't know the correct word to use), and it cause the delay in opening camera or LED (I used Flash Alert and Torch). Hope Sony and FXP could fix them in next build, I really love Sony AOSP but I need camera for daily using.

Hello guys, the Sony Emma tool won't offer me an "open devices"-firmware. Bootloader is definitely unlocked, rechecked that over fastboot, service menu and the "Flashtool". Also re- and unlocked again, just to be sure. No changes at all. Anyone knows a solution? I didn't find anything on the net, except for a handful of people with the same problem.

Wrong thread, please delete.

[MENTION=359497]jerpelea[/MENTION] So when are you guys going to stop gimping the camera software and letting other companies use your sensors better than you? The low light performance is absolutely abysmal as are the manual controls. Never mind the fact that unlocking the bootloader renders the camera completely useless without a patch which SONY had no involvement in... Camera 2 API anyone? Hope you could grace the community with a reply.

[HTC Amaze 4G] keronmat:
Hello, I have an HTC Amaze for over a year now. It was working fine, I rooted it CWM 5. and I installed Android revolution custom ROM. Until 2 weeks ago my battery was giving me some trouble, so i put away the phone for a bit, I bought a new battery then I notice the phone wasn't coming on. SO i charge for an entire day it still wasn't charging. I carried it to the shop. They said, that they don't know whats wrong with the phone.

I came home and decide am going to fix it my self i tried powering it into recovery mode, hard reset. screen is still blank, at lease that is what I thought. I look closely and then i notice the phone was in recovery mode but no lights were on in the screen. So normally I thought what anyone would of thought, the bulb in the screen or some kind of wiring went bad. The i tried wiping cache davlik install new new rom. Nothing worked. and this was defficult because I had to use a flash light to see on the screen. Lastly, i just click reboot and then the phone lights up perfectly and HTC logo comes up and then it blanks off again. So can anyone help? any advise
[HTC Amaze 4G] pbergonzi:
Find the way to install adb and communicate with the phone via adb and fastboot. If you can do that, you will be able to install anything necessary to get the phone working again.

First however, remove the battery, wait a few seconds, reinsert the battery and charge the phone overnight. Next day, try and start phone usual way--see what happens.

If NOTHING happens and you get a black screen, remove battery again for a few seconds, reinsert, and this time hold the power button in for AT LEAST 20 seconds.

See if that starts the phone.

If you get absolutely nothing again, find the "Unbricking Project" thread, but if you get any kind of screen, see if you can boot to recovery and restore anything. If you get a screen but can't do any kind of restore at all, find instructions for adb and fastboot I mentioned earlier, so you can install a new recovery and flash a new rom..
[HTC Amaze 4G] keronmat:
I did everything you said. Except I complete forget how to flash recovery and custom rom from my pc but when I type command in fastboot "adb devices" it was successful.

However, I charge the phone and I got into the recovery mode again and the wipe everything and then click backup and recovery. I rebooted the phone and it came on as if its a brand new HTC Amaze. I had the phone working i rejoice for a bit and then I realize I forget to put in my sim card. So i turn the phone off, put in the sim card. The same problem again. No led, no light in the screen, the phone atomatically boots into recovery mood.
[HTC Amaze 4G] keronmat:
One more thing. when booting into recovery mode. the phone doesn't go where I see the 3 android at the bottom and you see, fastboot, reset etc. It goes straight to cwm screen.
[HTC Amaze 4G] pbergonzi:
I think that is what you should see when you boot into recovery.

Do whatever you did before to get the phone lit up again, then change the display settings to maybe 3/4 brightness for instance. Reboot the phone normal reboot and see if it comes back with light.

If it does, maybe you are fixed enough to install the sim.

Do you possibly have a nandroid backup saved somewhere, you could put it back in the phone via recovery?
[HTC Amaze 4G] keronmat:
The phone is lit up again like you asked me to do. It was hard to see in recovery mode. But i used a flashlight to look on the screen of the AMAZE then i flash a new custom rom. After multiple tries I got it up. SO its up and the brightness is at its highest point. But I dont believe thats the problem. I just need to figure out how the light stays off when in recovery mood but comes on when booted normally. Its as though the recovery is broken. How do I fix it? if its broken

I read in post

How to enable and enter recovery mode

1. Use the Flash tool for Xperia devices to install the latest generic software on your unlocked device.

2. Use the Flash tool for Xperia devices to install <device name> (Open devices) TA update.

so 2 questions:

- can one, instead of latest generic software, also have latest FXP AOSP software installed?

- where are the "<device name> (Open devices) TA update" files to be found?

(or does Flash tool for Xperia find those automagically?)

also: I have no Windows machine and use Androxyde on MacOSX or Linux. Will this work?

I love my hermes but web browsing is frustrating. Especially when opera mobile freezes up, sometimes for 5 seconds or more at a time, while rendering or even just scrolling. Does opera run significantly faster or more smoothly on the kaiser? Has anyone tried it?

Thanks,

Dan

ps. i really dislike the idea being locked in if i were to get an iphone. But web browsing is important to me and it is very good at that. I've also given up on deepfish. It doesn't seem like its going to come out until smartphone hardware is powerful enough that deepfish is unnecessary.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mikeeey:
well you are going ot notice speed differences. the kaiser is faster at EVERYTHING. see these benchmark results:

http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=256117&st=20

so i think you will notice a big difference. not to mention, it has wm6. the hermes + wm6 made web browsing much faster. so can u imagine hwo this will be? you wont need to worry, this is a fast device.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] k2snowboards88:
wm6 (official dopod)has helped alot on my hermes. but its still not fast enough. it still hiccups on some sites. on heavy sites for even 10 seconds at a time, even without any other applications running. the short 2 second hiccups are common though.

have you had a chance to test it?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mikeeey:
i only wish. i dont have a kaiser. i just know it's CPU is supposed to be faster.

are you using opera or IE? opera is much better.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] k2snowboards88:
opera. its alot more accurate, but slower at everythign too. ie flies by comparison.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mikeeey:
on what device are you talking about? on my t-mobile sda opera is much faster, and accurate, and more options.

now i have wm6 which it's IE is supposed to be faster but opera is still faster than the wm6 IE.

Basically I have an unlocked UK Note 4 (SM-N910F) with abysmal battery life, it still has a year left on warranty though. I tried greenify on non-root but with little effect. I've been reccomended to root my phone and flash a rom.

I've looked up how to do this online but most of this is completely new and unknown territory for me. Would I lose all my data if I did this and void the warranty?

I want my note to be like stock android with superb battery life and reliability. They are my 3 main needs, any suggestions on how to get this much appreciated.

I really hope someone here can help me!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anthony.moua95:
First thing's first: What version of Android are you running? 5.0.1?

Yes, when you root, you trip the KNOX warranty (which pale in comparison to the capabilities rooting offers you). But you can always get a stock firmware from Sammobile and flash via Odin in order to go back unrooted.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ck12111:
Thanks for your reply! So if stock firmware is flashed again does it reset the counter? Im currently running 5.0.1 and completely new to this. Hope you can offer some assistance!

Never heard of Kingroot before. Maybe I'm just falling behind the rooting world. I've always waited for cf-auto root as it never failed me. Does it use a flash method like cf auto root?

---------- Post added at 09:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 PM ----------

Yes it will. In fact, I just flashed the 5.1.1 firmware for Sprint's Note 4 variant from Sammobile and I lost all my root privileges. Currently, I am unable to re-root my phone so I'm stuck on stock WITH Knox back up until there's a root method for 5.1.1 or just wait for Android M (unfortunately, haha). Can't seem to find any way around it. But I did root my phone when my phone had the 5.0.1 firmware as well.

Are you familiar with ODIN? This is the program I'd recommend you use to get root access.

there is more methods like that. that is how people rooting galaxy s5 for a while and avoiding triple KNOX flag.

all others root methods with flashing and odin will change KNOX

[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] ondrejvaroscak:
Will Open Devices recovery work with unlocked bootloader and Stock ROM? Or is it intended for Custom ROMs only? I ask because Stock ROMs are using recovery partition for FOTA and the only Stock that brings new partitioning scheme - the new Concept UI ROM - uses nasty security measures against changing either recovery or system partition...
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] shoey63:
I think this link would indicate that it is meant for UB at this stage.

However I am building the AOSP android M preview, and will report back with my findings.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] ondrejvaroscak:
I meant combination UB+Stock. That UB alone is required is clear
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] shoey63:
The link says to first install generic software on your device, so yes when released, UB+Stock will work.

But obviously, it will be different to the android concept scenario which (by my reckoning), is just a test by Sony on how to prevent people from rooting their phones on locked bootloader under the guise of providing a minimalistic Sony AOSP like experience. It is my opinion that they will implement it in their future devices.

Edit: I misread you post. Quite clear you were talking about UB :p
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] ondrejvaroscak:
Anyway, if Sony would mean it seriously with security restrictions in Concept, then we have to go on at least with custom kernels. As soon as Z3 will be in Open devices, majority of problems like fish-eye camera problem may disappear. I think unified kernel sources for 3.10 are already online.
