Where can I find a list of improvements that will be had specifically to the z3V over the original camera software?

Also, can you please tell us what is different than the other downloadable installation file that's floating around here? They have the same timestamp and are the same size. I'm not doubting, just trying to understand.

Mr. Bradley, please, for the love of God, don't lock this thread down too.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] zachariahpope:
There are no list of improvements specific to our device model, this is just the updated Sony camera app(s) ported from the Z5 to work on our devices. I wasn't aware there was another flashable camera port for the Z3v floating around here... Please link me to it. I assure you, you have nothing to risk by flashing this and that I am the original developer of this port... No one else by my knowledge should be circulating this file around for the Z3V or 5.0.2 in general. I'm making a flashable zip as we speak to revert back to the orginal camera should you not like the Camera 2.0's interface... I'm also working on an updated version of this port that will provide some camera improvements. When I'm done with both zips they will be posted in the OP along with some cleanup and screenshots. Thank you for your questions, it's great to ask questions... that's how we learn.. And its always good to know as much as possible before flashing anything to our phones. Should you have any more questions feel free to ask and I hope you enjoy the MOD. :)
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] AddictedToGlass:
Nope, not the same. When Mega DLs I end up with two of everything. Previous download zips were moved to my card and is the z5 2.0 at 10.5mb.

Will try this later and look for differences.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] zachariahpope:
Would you mind linking me to this other zip you're referring to? Thank you ��

EDIT: Nevermind I can tell by the size of the file you must be referring to one of the other Camera 2.0 ports here on XDA. You can try flashing those at your own risk if you'd like, but I'd kindly like to warn you ahead of time, those do not work on Lollipop 5.0.2... The reason my port is larger in file size is because the framework ported from 5.1.1 as well as permission files to run Camera 2.0 are included. It is worth noting however, you can flash any other Camera 2.0 port AFTER flashing mine and they'll work since mine installs the correct framework and permissions that are necessary.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] pvcdroid:
Zach,

Thanks for putting this together. I've installed it on rooted 5.02 and it's running well. Note that a couple boots were required after TWRP install and the user will get an overheat if trying to use the camera immediately but after the phone acclimates it is just fine.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] AddictedToGlass:
I had downloaded the z5 zip not understanding that the z3V was the only one not on the list. I actually almost installed it until I read that it could brick the phone.

The UI seems a bit fiddly but I guess each has it's learning curve. I took random dim indoor shots, including some macros, before and after in the sensors native 4:3 aspect ratio at 20.7MP usingthe original and your ported 2.0, but using Camera FV-5. I didn't tripod the phone or run any real range, just point & shoot of 28 shots all the same objects from the same spot.

So far I have not noticed a significant difference and when the photos are zoomed in on they show the same muddled look from what appears to be the same overcorrective software (I'm sure Sony didn't change that). I've read that the z5 camera hardware is identical to the z3V.

I'll put her on a tripod this weekend and do some real testing.

The original camera zip will make flipping back and forth easier for comparison testing.

Thanks for making this happen!
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] lg-sony-htc-samsung-apple:
Thank you so very much for your time and effort to get this working for our device
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] chickenliquor:
So how many of us have actually installed this ROM? Is it worth ditching the setup we have right now? I mean I don't really know how this could provide better performance if Sony hasn't updated any soft for our phones camera. I could understand manual modes might provide greater ability to change fine settings, but point and shoot quality and overall use ability is was I am concerned about.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] AddictedToGlass:
First off, it's not a ROM, it's technically just a mod. Secondly, Sony supposedly did update the software, and because the camera hardware in our z3V phones are identical to those of the z5 which was released with this updated software, it will do the same thing and be perfectly installable without having to port it. -And it is, on nearly every single z model but ours because the z3V is a Verizon Sony step child.

The UI is MOSTLY what's new and improved, but lower light shots do seem to be rendered better by the software. The ISO limits haven't changed and I doubt that Sony did something to alter their interpolation software, but something does seem different.

Until I can easily switch back and forth without having to flash to an entire restore that's 12Gb (in other words, simply flash back to the original camera as a zip), I'm not going to bother with tripod testing. Once I can do that, I will take shots with a tripod in varying light using the old and new camera zips and examine the shots and exif data. It could simply be that in manual mode the software defaults to better settings. I'm guessing that it's the default values values in lower light situations that have been changed, if anything.

At first I didn't like the user interface just because I wasn't used to it. But now I find I'm actually using it more than I used the old one (I normally use FV-5). It is a one handed, portrait friendly UI.

I highly recommend this mod. Simply make a backup and install it. You can always revert back to the old one via your backup or you could wait for zachariahpope to release the original as an installable zip.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] JediDru:
I found I minor bug. The front camera wants to stay on manual. If you switch to superior auto, the camera closes.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] AddictedToGlass:
Yup. Sure does.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] pvcdroid:
Strange. Mine doesn't crash when switching to superior auto with the front camera.

Edit: It does if I try to switch while using the front camera. If I switch to Superior Auto for the rear camera and then switch to front camera it is fine.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] AddictedToGlass:
Yes, this. Maybe it's a smaller bug then?

I still haven't tried other configurations to see if this is only with certain MP selections (for example).
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] zachariahpope:
This bug is consistent throughout all Z3 devices with any implementation of Camera 2.0... Camera 2.0 is made for the Z5, and I believe the issue is hiding in a SMALI file.. Hopefully it can be fixed soon. I'll add this information to the OP soon along with the new zips. Thank you all.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] AddictedToGlass:
Thanks!
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] randomjoh:
Unfortunately camera has stopped

I keep getting a force close every time I try to run the app after the update. Is there something extra I need to do to make this work?
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] randomjoh:
Seriously though...

Is there a way to return to the previous version??? This is crazy! I also forgot to mention that since I upgraded using this patch, my battery has been draining like crazy. I'm not 100% sure it's because of this app, but I've barely touched my phone today, and it didn't last 6 hours before it completely drained the battery.

:( :confused:
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] AddictedToGlass:
I'm not experiencing battery drainage. I highly doubt it's the upgrade to Camera 2.0 causing it.

The app FCs when switched to self camera and an attempt to change menus is made. Is this the FC you're experiencing? Zachariahpope mentioned he's working on that, as well as the original camera as an installable zip.

In the meantime, menu change to the self camera can be made by changing the menu first in the forward camera and then switching it to the rear.

It's always recommended to make a backup of your entire system in Recovery before installing such a mod.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] randomjoh:
It's fcing with the forward facing camera. The app isn't even opening.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] AddictedToGlass:
Without more details, I'm not sure your problem can be accurately diagnosed. Without either a backup to flash to, or waiting for Zach's release of the flashable original, the only option I see for you is to try reinstalling Camera 2.0. I highly recommend creating a backup, even though it now contains a screwed camera.

As far as excessive battery drain, I had the thought that perhaps it keeps attempting to open after it force closes and sucks juice that way. Often FCed apps will still show on the recently running / running in background tab.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] 1linuxfreak:
Uh oh, a bug, hmm, very interesting.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] AddictedToGlass:
Is it really that "interesting" to you? Or are you rather happy that the mod doesn't work?

You actually seem HAPPY it doesn't work.

I question your true intentions on this board. They certainly don't seem to be geared towards support of improvement of our devices.

Maybe you should just go away...
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] mikezom:
My camera stops!

My z3v camera stops! How I can restore to the previous one? I really appreciate any help! :(
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] JediDru:
If you did not make a back up you will need to reflash the stock rooted rom in recovery again.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] mikezom:
I didn't do a backup!!

Is there no anything like the given file for the version 5.0.2?? I can't restore :'( I'm new doing this!
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] JediDru:
It has been stated he will make a revert flashable but I don't know when it will be released.

Going forward with any phone, always make a backup or keep the rom you flashed on file in case you have an issue. I have flashed things that will put you in a boot loop and without the most recent rom handy you will be flashing a stock image wiping your internal data.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] GigaSPX:
You guys can always just reflash the ROM to get back where you are.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] mikezom:
I don't know how to reflash

Well, I don't know how to reflash, I have the unofficial android 5.0.2 in my xperia z3v, i follow the guide of this page. When i try to install the same Pre-rooted.zip file with the custom bootloader, It's not possible, that's why I'm asking for help! (sorry for my bad english)
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] GigaSPX:
Follow my guide and start out at where you need to be too get back to the unmodified camera changes of the stock ROM.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] lg-sony-htc-samsung-apple:
Anyone know if it will ever be possible to have true manual controls for our phone such as raw capture shutter speed xontrol... Anyway the port is Working great for me. Thank you very much dev
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] AddictedToGlass:
Fromall of the questions I've asked on thesubject, it's a "no" for RAW.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] randomjoh:
For those of you having crashing issues with this update, make sure you're using the default DPI. This camera will not work on low DPI's; which kind of sucks, because I enjoy the added screen realty that lower DPIs provide on this device, especially when I'm using MHL to to use this device as a desktop replacement. I hope the developer/modder extraordinar or someone else can find a fix for this.
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] AddictedToGlass:
OK, I think we've all been plenty patient enough here about this.

Everyone appreciates the work done on updates and mods like this, but if you're not going to go any further, at least, let everyone know.

I check this friggin thread every GD day waiting for a follow up.

Enough is enough. If you're not continuing with it, at least let us know..

Hi

Is it compatible with the backup rom of Tiger (5.1.1)???

Any answers :(
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] Astoras:
I gave it the good old try and yes, it does work with the 5.1.1 TWRP backup. Woot! (FYI i think Zachpope flew the boat on our device. Eh, who can blame him? I was about to it myself. S7 looks nice but I ain't gonna deal with the annoying crap storm called knox.)
[Xperia Z3v Android Development] Tigerhoods:
see that's how it works people try it yourself why do the developers have to test it for you take a backup and flash it yourself it's not like we are getting paid for this. Zach Pope is truly one of the best developers on xda we are lucky to have him.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zangent:
I've been trying to make mobile data work (contrary to most issues with APNs, my MMS works fine) on a custom rom on my Droid Turbo, and I think I've traced it to the fact that my Verizon data is filtered, which (IIRC) uses a different APN.

Can anyone help me extract my current APN settings from the stock rom so I can use them on the custom rom?
[Samsung Gear VR] jbfountain:
I was at Best Buy today, and I was about to buy a Gear VR Consumer Edition. The phone for the display model was broken, but the sales associate said I could use my phone to try it out, so after downloading the app and other files (thankfully I have T-MOBILE unlimited LTE ) I began my first Gear VR experience. About 10 minutes into using it I got the message that the Gear VR was getting to hot, and that it needed to cool down to function properly. This message appeared 3 more times over the next 10-15 minutes. What I would like to know from those of you who own a Gear VR Consumer Edition does this happen to you as well? Even though $99 is very reasonable I don't want to buy a VR if this is a issue that Samsung knows about, and will eventually fix on later editions. I Googled Gear VR overheating, and I came up with a YouTube video of a guy that installed a fan on his VR.

Please be honest with your replies, because if this is a known issue Samsung should be forced to be responsible and take care of it and others should be warned. However; if this is just a case of one out of many having a problem (especially since the one I was using has probably seen much more use than a hundred would ) I want to get one.
[Samsung Gear VR] developweb:
I got a message once only when trying sideloaded content (software in heavy development ). Other than that one time, no overheating problems here.
[Samsung Gear VR] dorsefrith:
I am using it a lot, sometimes for few hours. Got message only once and I just ignored it.
[Samsung Gear VR] mrmoretti:
The problem was most likely that you were using the gear vr while it was busy downloading a sh** load of stuff in the background. Your best bet is to have a fully charged phone, all apps and updates downloaded, and then go for your life. Also, put into flight mode (if your app don't need internet), and lower screen brightness.
[Samsung Gear VR] thebadwrench:
I have had the overheating issue since day one. It happens when doing anything that is cpu demanding. I, like the guy in the youtube video you mentioned, rigged up an old laptop fan to help cool my phone. Problem solved 100%.

The gear vr overheating is a common problem that samsung is fully aware off. I suggest either waiting until they put a fan in it from the factory or just installing one yourself. Its very easy to do
[Samsung Gear VR] laserbiz:
I have had the overheating message several times. I id some research and there is a clip on available on Amazon :

[Samsung Gear VR] woodmj:
This might sound a step back but I got a long charging cable for my headset & powered it with that rather than my S7's battery & suddenly hardly any freezing & the phone gets nowhere near as hot & I haven't seen the 'needs to cool down' message since.

It would be great if you change the link and mirror it to google drive or some other .

I have tried to download this rom numerous times, but after some time ,link gets expired. This is the problem with Chinese cloud servers.

EDIT:

I've flashed this ROM.

It's simply awesome , even the bugs u mentioned are not there in my case(touchwood).

BUGS:

1) Don't setup screen lock otherwise you have to reflash the ROM.(you can use other apps if u need screen lock)

2)don't change the network mode to 2g because in my case, I was not been able to place calls from sim1.

[Lenovo A6000/Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] shivamgupta1996:
First boot usually takes a lot of time .Be patient.

I again repeat the steps:

1) flash patch file.

2)flash ROM and GApps.(wipe cache and dalvik to be on safer side)

3)flash gapps removal tool zip(download it from A-mod site)

4)flash SuperSU and then reboot.
