After reading through this i am confused if [MENTION=5199563]jjwrongjj[/MENTION] files are related to the OP-Thread or do they stand for themselfes? (if so why hide them in this Thread and not create own Thread?)

Confused about how 2 flash...

Do we still need "Z5CameraUI2" at all?

Dont mistake it with "Z5CameraUI_V2" please ;)
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] TechKiel:
OP was sharing about Sony's updated Camera app for the Xperia Z5 Series. Also, he attached a STOCK apk from the Z5. (This will work only on Z3+/Z4 and the Z5 Series)

[MENTION=5199563]jjwrongjj[/MENTION]'s post is about his BACKPORT for Xperia ZU/Z1/Z1C/Z2/Z3/Z3C.

"(if so why hide them in this Thread and not create own Thread?)" - If you haven't read it, he didn't want to create a new thread. Let's just respect his decision. :)

"Does it work on Z3C?" - Yes. It will work with Sony's Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 MSM8974 Series: Xperia ZU/Z1/Z1C [Rhine] Xperia Z2/Z3/Z3C [Shinano].

"Do we still need "Z5CameraUI2" at all?" - No. You only have to flash the latest zip file (Z5CameraUI_V2.zip).

It seems you need some libraries found only on Z5 so in this case I doubt it would be available for non rooted devices.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] twitchyzero:
stupid question but on my stock Z5P the SCN mode/ISO is greyed out in Manual mode...or for any mode in general except for SCN in Video

Also...I can't find SteadyShot settings in Manual Mode.

I also can't find Camera app in Google Play? Mine is 2.0.0...not sure if that's the latest release
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] TechKiel:
Are you pertaining only to video mode? You can't change the ISO setting of videos. Only the exposure.

If you're pertaining to the manual mode (pictures), what resolution are you shooting at 23MP, 20MP?

Please clarify your question.

You won't find SteadyShot in Manual Mode because it has been moved to the Video Mode.

In Camera 2.0, there are 3 modes Video, Superior Auto (Photo and Video), Manual (Photo).

Whereas in Camera 1.0, there is the Superior Auto (Photo and Video), Manual (Photo and Video)

In Camera 2.0, Sony found it necessary to move the SteadyShot Option to the Video mode because it is irrelevant for taking pictures.

Sony's camera app is NOT published in Google Play.

Updates to this app are pushed through the What's New app.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] twitchyzero:
nevermind...SCN/ISO is greyed out in 23MP btu works in 8MP...lame.

Why's IS irrelevant for photos? shutter speed is always auto-set high enough that handshakes are never a concerN?
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] paffo:
Hi, thanks for a great work, but I would really like to understand this instruction.

You spited it to V1 and V2, so first impression is that user can choose version to install, but of course its wrong feeling, cause in "V1" step you mentioned to install both version one by one.

And I checked both .zip files, and they overwrite the same files in /system folder, so doing this in that way has no sense at all.

What were you thinking writing such instruction ? :))
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] TrevorAshley:
Make sure all animations is set to at least 0.5
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] TechKiel:
I see that you meant [ISO] High sensitivity mode and [SCN] Scene Mode. Yes, they are both unavailable if you're shooting at the sensor's full resolution. (If you're using the stock Camera app).

Because SteadyShot is used EXCLUSIVELY for Videos. It SteadyShot was also used in photos, you'd be experiencing a significantly narrower FoV when shooting photos. That is not the case.

Camera 1.0 had an "Image Stabilization" feature in the Manual Mode for Photos but it was subsequently removed in the Manual Mode for Camera 2.0. (No idea why.)

tl;dr

CAMERA 1.0

Videos: SteadyShot (Intelligent Active / Standard)

Pictures: Image Stabilization [faster shutter speed, higher ISO, greater amount of noise]

CAMERA 2.0

Videos: SteadyShot (Intelligent Active / Standard)

Pictures: ???

You are looking at an older version. This post has the zip file that you need. No need to flash anything else.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] paffo:
Please do not confuse it much more.

First of all I took the eariles post with attached .zip file of version 2.0, and this is the same file like in the post you copy-pasted

Seccond: people can be confused if they need to search trough all thread, such info should be in the OP, or probably in another thread as the OP author is someone else.

Third and not last: you placed information about some post without writing its number, so its not helping anyone.

As the phone camara is working for me and Its working realy good I vote to placed some more apropriate and detailed information in OP or new thread. Right now there is only .apk file, which wont work on any other phone that z5. In z3 there need to be aditional libs copied, but its hard to understand it reading quite a long thread.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] AfroMetal:
Start new thread then, organize everything, add links and stuff, profit (I mean thanks-o-meter up to heaven).
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] EQ2000:
Actually the image stabilisation function is permanently enabled in Camera 2.0 when using manual mode and like in 1.0 dynamic for SA. That's why the ISO goes upwards 1600 in full resolution/manual. I think this is why some say the image quality got a bit worse (situation dependant) due to instead of topping out at 800 it goes to 1600 for back camera and for front camera instead of topping out at 1600 it goes up to 3200 if it needs to.

That said I am curious about the white balance and 'shutter speed to ISO' balance of Camera 2.0. I use Xperia Z1 5.1.1/14.6.A.1.236 with the 4k/Timeshift mod in link below that also increased quality a bit due to emplying processing algorithms from the Z2. On top of that I have the Z5 framework files (the ones without libs as they are not compatible and it doesn't overwrite anything from 4k/Timeshift mod). I noticed great improvements regarding white balance countering the otherwise over the edge yellow tint on tungsten lights in low light environments. This aswell as better post-processing and ISO to shutter speed balance to keep highlights in excellent control.

I have cross compared with my Z5c (latest updates) and the Z1 gives in the majority of situations better colors that are very close or just better looking for scene with stock camera SA and with FV-5 near perfect most of the time unless low light and very tricky lighting but still excellent output. Z5 goes to much for the blue tint even on lighting situations where ISO 400-500 is more than enough giving a cold image and due to this muted intensity as the blue color channel when increased does reduce the luminance.

My Z1 with mods give a relative warm image and I would say 90-95% integrity of IRL scene while Z5 gives less than 50%. I would say 8 out of 10 times the Z1 wins and pinpoints the colors and exposure very close or spot on. Only in extreme low light I would prefer the bluish or redish tones the Z5c gives.

So my question is for those using Z5 camera framework/libs mod and perhaps also 4k/TImeshift mod, does using camera 2.0 increase the blue tint and does it change the shutter speed to ISO balance compared to camera 1.0? Are your photos more muted in terms of luminance, intensity and do the colors look colder?

Becouse from how I have it now that would be a downgrade.

4k/Timeshift mod.

Z5 camera libs mod.

http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-de...-xperia-z5-premium-camera-libs-files-t3260819

Also worth noting is to calibrate the mobile phones white point balance so its screen shows correct true to real life colors. I use KCAL (needs root) to get fingrain calibration for my Xperia Z1 LCD (JDI panel). RGB 246,230,248 and Color/Gamma/Contrast, 34,132,132. Might vary between panels though. Red and blue to control coldness and warmth. I went for slightly cold white point akin to IPS LCD monitors.

1: I'm actually just clarifying it for you. The post that I linked is the latest version that [MENTION=5199563]jjwrongjj[/MENTION] has posted in this forum. The key word here is LATEST. The earlier versions have more bugs and are more complicated to flash.

2. Yes, it is indeed confusing but the OP didn't update it. So...

3: If you wanted to go to the post, you could actually click on the arrow to do so. Which is why I didn't find the need to include the post number necessary.

Here is a screenshot of the post I quoted:

Final:

The author of the mod didn't want to create a new thread.

The OP, [MENTION=4210661]ImAnurag[/MENTION] , didn't update it. Ask him to do it.

Or if you want, follow [MENTION=4721202]AfroMetal[/MENTION] 's advice :))

[MENTION=2433182]paffo[/MENTION] , I'm just trying to help you. Chill.

Hmm. If that's the case then it's actually a step backward.

It could have been better if they retained the option to toggle it on or off. :(

My Z1 Compact's manual mode tends to shoot up to ISO 1600 (20.7mp) even with image stabilized turned off in Camera 1.0. (But the scene was actually pitch black. I was trying to push the limits of the sensor in low light capture) I haven't seen it jump to ISO 3200 in that case, though.

Just curious, in what order did you flash the mods? I'm gonna try it on my Z1C :D
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] EQ2000:
It does. Quite evident by the shutter speed to ISO formula it uses. Luckily though I can change the ISO at any resolution in manual as I could in Camera 1.0. But in Camera 1.0 and manual for my Z1 it never went over ISO 800 nor slower than 1/8 for shutter speed with image stabilisation disabled.

I first closed all apps then cleared data for "Camera Common", "Camera Extension", "Camera" and "Cameras". Then booted into recovery and first flashed the "4k/Timeshift" mod I linked to then the "Z5 Camera Lib" mod that is for the Z1 and last the "Z5 Camera 2.0" by "Jjwrongjj" and cleared dalvik and cache. They all integrate seamlessly as I checked all 3 packages for file structure and where it overlaps if it is same which it is!

Worked perfectly and after that I edited the "media_profiles.xml" file to up the video bitrate for 1080p to 35Mbit, 720p to 20Mbit and 480p to 8Mbit. 4k and Timeshift need to modification as 4k goes automatically for 50-55Mbit and Timeshift for 40-45Mbit. I also set jpeg quality in all 3 places to 100 (main, back, front). Although I believe it is locked in encrypted files and set to 97% aslong as Bionz does the processing of the photos (all camera apps that use the camera framework) else it goes for 100% jpeg.

Everything works perfectly except mentioned bug with front camera switching from manual to superior auto but I never use it in stock app anyway but instead FV-5 as I can set the EV there to get good quality as the front camera especially with image stabilisation (that you cant disable in Camera 2.0) likes to go high with the ISO and upto 3200. I prefer to keep it below 400 for very good front camera photo quality.

Besides info I gave before I have standard odex stock ROM and no services.jar patching nor exposed and all works well!

I also recommend ProCapture if you want to be able to take full resolution photos with almost all scene modes from Sony plus HDR and special noise reduction mode and more. FV-5 is also good and the "Long+" exposure just works as "Night Scene" mode. You also have "Fast" to capture fast moving objects. There are no other scene modes for FV-5 though besides the ones I named. Both allows you to change EV for both front and back camera. Especially good for the front camera quality. Both do cost though.

All in all the photo quality has improved greatly. "The Z5 Camera Lib" mod makes for much better white balance that is very close to, spot on to reality or just much better looking than original as it original went far to often for yellow tint especially with tungsten lightsources. Now it uses less yellow, more blue and red aswell as having better shutter speed to ISO balance to avoid blown highlights especially in combination with Camera 2.0 which should be installed if using the "Z5 Camera Lib" mod to get excellent shutter speed to ISO balance aswell as better post-processing.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] TechKiel:
Yeah. :(

It seems that JPEG quality is tied within the SemcCameraUI.apk itself.

Good thing I've already bought Camera FV-5. Gonna try ProCapture soon.

Thanks! :D

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unvaluablespace:
Seriously, can somebody fill me in on what it's supposed to do on our devices?

On my old nexus 5, it did exactly what it was supposed to do: disable the lock screen when a trusted device or trusted place was setup. This was really nice for when I was connected to my bluetooth speakers at home, or even just using my home address. I wouldn't have to unlock the phone with a lock pin or anything. Just turn it on and bam, right where it was before the screen went off.

On the note 5, and I've tried everything, it doesn't seem to do jack sh*t. I've checked settings and removed trusted places and devices and really added them, but the screen is always locked.

Please tell me I am missing something, as that was an awesome feature on my old phone, and I'd like to secure with a fingerprint or pink when not at home, while not having to do so in a safe environment.

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekjl:
Works fine. However, go into the same setting where you turned it on and make sure it hasn't turned off. I have found, for some reason, that it turns off by itself sometimes. Usually when you first turn it on and/or after you do a battery pull reset.
