1. You can set resolution to 12mp to avoid noise!

2. Fake ISO via software ?!?! Really!?! As I said before, I can share my camera hal source + Why you say it's fake?! Do you have any evidence?!

3. You can don't use my mod if you fear of your superstitions!

4. Multiframe lib is for video recording. So shut up hick!

5. I have not done any sting editing for 20mp 16:9

My last words: I've spent long time for cyberian camera mod... I wasted hours, days and months of my time for delivering best camera experience to sony mobile owners just because I thought users will appreciate my works...

But what happened?!?

Some users are just trying to call me thief, liar, troll...

[MENTION=6922850]EQ2000[/MENTION] Why you call me a liar? While you can't even read multi-frame contents?! Why you call me a liar for 20mp 16:9 when you don't know even 1% about smali codings?!?!

What do you want to prove?! You want to prove that you are clever?! You just saw a multi-frame lib on my mod and you have done 100 deductions from it! Just because its name is same as a samsung camera feature. What a clever user!:eek:

It seems I have only wasted my time here...

Flash ja1378 mod but consider that it's just a copy of other mods which has renamed scns. But it seems you enjoy copy mods more!

Bye XDA Users, Thanks to all of users who really appreciated my work...

here for Z3

And for Z3C, I ask for tester but no one respound me (here)

So depend if you have a Z3 or a Z3C ^^
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] M1chiel:
Thanks! Works perfectly on my Z3C (Stock MM 291), Xposed and [MENTION=3989065]serajr[/MENTION] 's Super User Mode X - v1.0.0.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] arul20be:
I have flashed the version 2.4 for Z5. And now the front camera is not working. FC occurs. Pls resolve it and we need shutter control too!! BTW this is awesome. I really feel great with ur mod bro!! Thanks a Ton.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] skinniezinho:
Sorry to ask, but Z3C 4.2 only works in MM right? No chance of working in LL?

I flashed the 4.0 and I can't get 12mp
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] skyhirules:
I just discovered that the 20 MP 16:9 pictures are actually 15.5 MP, like the stock app of z1 Compact!

That makes what EQ2000 said about your 20 MP mode true! The 20,7 sensor cannot give a pixel width more than 5248. So, in 16:9 mode what it actually does is cut off the upper and bottom part of the picture, to give the 16:9 format. But that gives a 2952 pixel high, which makes it a 15.5 MP picture! You cannot have a 20 MP 16:9 picture with a 20.7 sensor! The dev should change the profile name from 20 MP to 15.5 MP!

Damn! Am I the only one to notice that?
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] xkeita:
And then the camera mods fiasco was born. Lol.

The 20MP (16:9) does not exists at all as it is a 4:3 all the way. There's a resolution that is actually 15:5MP in Camera.apk, been using this mod for a while can't find the link XD and if you compare pictures it's actually pretty much the same quality, and some nice features that really appear in metadata.

I don't kinda believe in these mods because of the influence effect, you see a long changelog with lots of features and stuff but how much of that is really true? You end up believing you have a better quality just because of a larger changelog and "how much effort the dev put on it" and thus you have a feeling that YOU have a better camera. Many libs are even ignored by the system itself, others are mentioned as "Ported/compiled/recompiled only by me" but if you grab the original file from source and paste it on your phone it will work anyways and that random stuff (even many files are exactly the same even if they are from other phone).

So my point in this whole thing is keep it nice and simple xda, don't try to make the ultimate mod, just make one that's clean. ;)

Here's an example of the unlocked camera mod I mentioned before, (took them on superior auto, and 15.5MP mode)
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] EQ2000:
Thank you for verifying that what I told is true. There are others that commented the same if you look far earlier in this thread. I appreciate though that there are people trying to improve and create mods but devs luring the users that are going to try the mod is just really low.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] djgigi94:
I agree only the fact of 20 mp 16:9. But not the placebo fact. I not read the super changelog and i see by myself the improved quality. I test myself the effective improving of this mod...and there is a very improving compared the stock camera! I compared the z2 photos with z3+ always. Before cyberian with other mods or stock camera, z3+ brutally wins. Now wins z2 . Coincidence? I don't believe that ;) and then i see improving in 3rd camera apps or services (whatsapp or telegram too). The 12 mp resolution it's very good. Test before talking :) i test everything and this mode is working and improve a lot the camera experience . The ISO 12280 working too and it is true. I see ISO 8000 too (z2 arrive on iso 6400 only). It isn't only a feeling. Do some tests with this mod and tell me :)
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] aigaming:
You have to be blind not to see difference with this mod and stock!!!
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] cfleg:
ZR CAM have more image quality than this mod. This mode have more features. And more bugs. :(
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] xkeita:
Resolution and ISO can be configured/enabled by modding the Camera apk. And yes, I tested this mod before and went back to my modded camera because I didn't actually notice changes. Also, apps like whatsapp/telegram use the same configuration available on the camera app that you have currently installed, that's why you can notice better quality on 3rd party apps (we're still talking about megapixels and isos), except for apps that have their own camera model integrated (like facebook messenger)

Edit: Forgot to mention that you can get less compression in photos and better bitrate for video recording by editing media_codecs, but that's not a miracle, neither magic.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] djgigi94:
Very strange because i see the difference and a lot. With other camera mods... Not or a little. What rom do you use? What configuration? I notice that rom on slimm have some difficulty to install(always didn't show mostbof functions or not work). I usa existenz on my z2 and the mod works very well with a lot of improving.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] TheEndHK:
Which mod cam you are using?

---------- Post added at 07:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:14 AM ----------

Yes, we agreed there won't be true 20.7mp 16:9 because Z1/2/3 got no multi-aspect ratio sensor like Z5 but other improvement still there. I've got Z1c and Z5c.

[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] chinmoy32:
What exactly is different in Z5 edition of this MOD ???

I am asking because I see no difference between shots taken with this MOD and that stock MM .253 in my Z5 Dual E6683.

Here are some bullet points to consider for what are missing in Xperia Z5 series Camera MOD

- no ISO increase , just the stock 3200.

- no shutter speed control

- no new IMX300 driver , algorithms included in the package

- no Intelligent Active mode.

- no VERA engine

- no fish eye effect

- no Slow Motion video (720p @ 120 fps recording then playing it @ 30 fps)

- no Camera2 API functions (manual focus , shutter speed etc.)

- no Bionz2X Engine (what is it anyway ???)

Thanks in advance for what may come in future

---------- Post added at 05:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 AM ----------

15.5 Mp is in fact only 15.5 mp , its never anything else and no photographer will ever say or admit it otherwise.

I am a photographer and thus seem its my responsibility to point this out.

---------- Post added at 05:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:44 AM ----------

Yeas I have tried it and its all the same as before

read my reply above for more ........
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] TheEndHK:
Only two stuffs.

1. 23MP in scene mode

2. object tracking

Other than that, no any new function. If you want manual focus/shutter or further improvement of image quality, OP will need to port the lib files from X Compact system dump. The Z5 mod cam only contains a cam apk file, no other files in the zip.

I see a huge improvement from 23MP scene mode. In the old day, the Sony full resolution isn't that good quality but now no reason to use 8MP again even in low light I found 23MP yield better quality from this mod.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] chinmoy32:
Which one did you flash ?? the X1 version or the 2.4 version for the Z5 series ??
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] TheEndHK:
2.4 z5c ver
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] Robot76:
Semantics

I'm personally not the biggest fan, but the developer of Cyberian here is correct.

Actually you're very wrong, it is a well known fact that Sony's technology takes a higher pixel rate and converts it to a smaller size to achieve superior photo's... So although it's written 15.5mp, it is not really a true 15.5mp photo. Logically yes, but in eye's perception no...

The same applies to flac audio, although we cannot hear outside those ranges, doesn't make it equal to an MP3, those ranges still have an effect on the audible ranges we can hear...

The same also goes for Sony's night exposure rate...

So your problem is not understanding what the person is meaning, but using your own personal emotional based vocabulary and semantics, creating argument where there is none...

A.R.I.S.E.Numbers™ Z3C SLiMM3.1 EliteKernelV3 SU2.76 Xf86 Nova Substratum
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] tomascus:
If I understand things here correctly, what everyone is arguing about is whether or not 15MP is 15MP.

Let's consider the definition of resolution: number of horizontal pixels x number of vertical pixels right?

And a megapixel: one million pixels. Nothing to do with quality or anything else.

Now, if we take a picture and it comes out with the resolution 5248x2952, that is undeniably a megapixel count of 15.5.

I think what everyone is confusing is photo resolution with downsampling, which is a technique used where a higher resolution photo is transformed into a lower resolution photo.

Once again, if an image has a resolution of 5248x2952, it is, by definition, 15.5 megapixels. Whether our eyes "perceive" whatever or whatever doesn't matter, if there's physically only 15.5 megapixels, then it's 15.5 million pixels...

Anyway, loving the mod besides this little error, keep it up
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] chinmoy32:
I am sorry to say but you cant not be more wrong in this matter and a bit emotional yourself i see.

the thing here is the concept of multi-aspect-ratio image sensor. google it a bit then come here and argue if you see fit. IMX300 is such a sensor. which is technically a 25 mp sensor by pixel count but in terms of capturing image with 4:3 or 16:9 ratio they are respectively 23 mp and 20 mp by PIXEL COUNT.

see my point ??? Sony never lied anywhere about that, the pics they produce are of actual 23 and 20 mp by pixel count , not buy what they were before the picture was materialized.

try to understand what i am saying , these are technical things and you can understand if you try or google or read. They are not any "emotional based vocabulary and semantics, created argument" I am creating here to argue for just arguing sake. You cant lie about a fact and say you meant to mean something else by saying the things that actually mean other things by technical standard.

what Cyberian did or intended to do could and can be achieved by phrasing it differently.

saying a 15.5 mp pic is really a 20 mp pic and then saying only photographers will understand it is a very wrong way to phrase it and thus created a very wide door and intense need for argument here.

Please read carefully and try to understand the points i made above before saying otherwise.....

[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] tomascus:
There is no ambiguity in the definition of megapixels.

Now personally i'm not able to use this mod at the moment, but if it does claim that it takes 20MP images which are indeed outputted as 15.5MP (5248x2952), then it would be a tad misleading. A 20 megapixel 16:9 image should result in a resolution of 5984 x 3366. :)
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] Robot76:
Technically, this is stocks default behaviour, nothing to do with mods, this is why Sony's stock comes with only 8mp... ( This is the reason stock does not come with higher mp)

[emoji23]

Check the threads...

This is common knowledge...

Size by measurement is 15.5mp, but the developer was talking in generalisation and generosity to have the user in understandment, which is completely logical, because taking a 1:1 15.5mp photo would not be equal to the 15.5mp here...

His use of glossary was to the benefit of the majority of users and not to the 5%ters... Who have overstepped thier technological know how's to equal abuse...

[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] tomascus:
I'll ask you a simple question, what picture resolution does 20MP output? It's not a matter or semantics nor

linguistics, but rather how many pixels the image has.

And infact, 15MP does equal 15MP, no matter how much better the quality is (and I know this mod gives much better quality). It's like trying to deny that 1=1 and claiming 1=3.

We can take this to private messages if you want to continue, I don't want to spam the dev's thread any longer.

Those personal attacks are unnecessary. I took the time to reflash stock and try it out.

Here is the setting I used:

Here is the result:

Notice that the resulting finished image I end up with is 5284*2952, which is 15598368 pixels aka. 15.5 Megapixels.

However, the selection itself claims 20MP (16:9), which certainly isn't the case here, and it can be a little misleading as a result.

[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] chinmoy32:
Clarification

I could not resist and stay away from replying again on this thread.

Starting with a simple question here :

Question: Why are we all here ???

Ans: we are here because we like / love technology and want to know, do better things using our beloved devices and time. We graciously accept when any MOD is offered to us-which is right BTW. Almost all of us dont know each other outside the XDA community and thus dont have any idea who is what and know how much.

But the underlying moral of this XDA community is but not limited to the truth and honesty. There are developers in this community who are doing actual coding and developing based on the open source projects and offering us many new things and opening to us many new doors for developing further more. Also there are people here trying to make small name for themselves by renaming and stealing others MOD,PORTS and so on claiming other peoples' work as theirs own and simply lying through their teeth about general common knowledge such as "Megapixels". Not to mention, brag about them later on and when brought to their knowledge- trying to misinterpret things just to save faces in the name of educating other people.

Now my another question is here : do we or should we support / endorse/ encourage that sort of behavior ????

Ans: Its true that they dont force us to use their MODs and their MODs can do some good staff in some condition.

which is all good as long as the credit is given to the correct people behind the MOD and telling / admitting the truth about exactly what the MOD can / will do and what exactly was done to make the MOD, PORT.

Trying to get out of a mess by lying and then lying some more to justify the previous lies and continuing the process just to mask the fact that there was wrong doing at the beginning is not a good moral way to do things here.

What a MODDER's intention is or was is no subject for argument here. If there was stolen property or lying or misleading involved regarding any MOD or product in this community then it should be handled and taken care of with prejudice. Even more we should never encourage such behavior here ever again.

There are a lot of places in this world to claim glory by any means necessary. XDA is not such a place.

It doesnt take a genius to figure that out.

More on the matter: calling people names , implying insults, trying to argue based on emotional feelings, making / calling people saints or sinners and so on are not the correct types of behavior for constructive technical conversations.

I think this will help us all.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] mkdmc:
Resolution and ISO can be configured by modding the Camera apk?!

Really?

Please add 10mp resolution to camera app and upload it for users to test!

Or add iso 25 on apk

Another ungrateful user without enough knowledge:mad:

Do you know what does camera hal mean?!

Camera hal contains camera iso values, resolutions and etc

Camera apk only reads values from camera hal and it doesn't contain iso values and limits or resolution values.

About 20mp 16:9 :

I believe that I should name it as 20mp 16:9 due to my modifications. It's true, Output pixels are 15.5 mega pixels. But I prefer to name it as 20mp 16:9(because it's really 20mp in my opinion). There is no scam or deception.

Please don't continue discussing about resolution

How can it be 20 MP in your opinion when it's fact that the image is 15.5 MP?

Sir i was thinking if i use z5 camera libs and file combined with x compact camera apk would that work
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] mkdmc:
You need more description?

OK Let's start!

How can you take a 16:9 photo from a 20mp 4:3 sensor? Actually there is no way due to hardware limits.

But

We can convert 20mp 4:3 photos to 16:9 photos. We lose some pixels because we are converting from 4:3 to 16:9. But it's still a 16:9 photo which is made from a 20mp photo

This is why I call it 20mp 16:9.(+ It's not just name editing. I have also changed some codes for optimizing 20mp 16:9 resolution)
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] skyhirules:
I don't intend to offend or troll or anything. Don't take this wrong, but could you please explain how it's really 20 mp in your opinion?

Again, this is a serious question, not intending to fire up the discussion.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] mkdmc:
Nope. You can't use Z5/Z4 libs. They have different camera hal due to different chip(snapdragon 810) and Z5 also has different sensor

SO NO ONE CAN PORT Z5/XZ LIBS OR HAL. DON'T BELIEVE IF SOMEONE CLAIMS THAT!
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] tomascus:
So if I take a 100 MP image, then resize it to 2MP, I can claim the image is 100MP?
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] mkdmc:
Nope. I was talking about resizing from 4:3 to 16:9 not resizing from 20mp to 15mp.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] tomascus:
I will reiterate, A 20 megapixel 16:9 image should result in a resolution of 5984 x 3366. If the image is 5248x2952, then it's 15.5 MP.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] someone755:
I genuinely do not understand this.

If I take a 3MP photo, the camera sensor uses all of its 20 million pixels, and then the image gets downsampled to 3MP. I don't have a 20MP photo, it's a 3MP picture. Downsampled from 20MP, but 3MP nonetheless.

On an Xperia with a 20.7MP sensor, these are stock camera image sizes, and they include 15.5MP. Because, you guessed it, the image only has 15.5 million pixels.
