[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] NexusGTS:
Everything is working on the z5 except the manual focus, the manual focus option is gone from the menu :)
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] zemetal:

[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] ytheekshana:
exactly
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] peter.schwake@gmail.com:
But it´s bug free ? The camera sound bug isnt´t caused by me, it is also present in the stock apk.....
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] NexusGTS:
Everything else is working for me :)

4K freezes from the video.... 4K app works fine
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] nolihowell:
Hello ? I'm also on oreo existenz v5 f8332. How's the camera experience. Which version of the camera is it based upon? How's the image quality compared to the stock camera on oreo?
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] peter.schwake@gmail.com:
what device are you using? By the way, you have to set SteadyShot to Standard... You can change this value, even it's greyed out in the 4K Mode...
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] peter.schwake@gmail.com:
New Release supports Oreo. It is based on the latest XZs N Firmware 41.2.A.7.76.

Maybe you can compare and give a review ;)
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] Pandemic:
Why not edit the camera from eXistenZ v5 for Oreo uses bro for XZ and XZs ?
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] nolihowell:
Allright I'll try it so but needs to backup my rom first then. Thanks for the reply. I'll provide a feedback.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] zemetal:
v5.23 focus crosshair doesnt appear when i try to focus or if i use the camera dedicated button, Z4/z3+
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] whalesplaho:
Dis was mentioned in previous posts.....
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] peter.schwake@gmail.com:
Ehm... :confused:

The yellow one, which appears when you touch the display or the white/blue one, when pdaf tracking is set to off?

EDIT : FIXED :silly:
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] whalesplaho:
I love dis guys... Really dishing out his time for us!

Thanks pete.... :good: :highfive:
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] XanaRaquel:
Any chances of these newer versions to also work on Z5 with Marshmallow? I'm still with v4.00.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] whalesplaho:
For Z5, manual settings freezes tha app... So i just extract from v5.23 and use tha SemcCamera.apk n its okay back but manual focus isnt there anymore.

Thanks.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] devilmaycry2020:
Thank you for your hard work, I've flashed v5.24 on my z5 7.1.1 and it's working fine but manual mode got frozen.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] nolihowell:
Hello ? after awhile of using your mod v5.24 all functions are working as they should be on xperia xz dual oreo existenz v5. Thanks for the hard work.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] luvmdy:
Does everyone think FM Freeze is caused by Triple image sensing technology from Xzs that Z5 dosen't equipment the sensor?
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] whalesplaho:
Manual Focus... MF!
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] peter.schwake@gmail.com:
no there was a unlocked version, with manual focus working. I did change the unlock routine, to solve other bugs.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] peter.schwake@gmail.com:
FM = Frequency modulation is the encoding of information in a carrier wave by varying the instantaneous frequency of the wave.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] whalesplaho:
My bad....

Thanks for tha clarification....
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] peter.schwake@gmail.com:
But you mean the right, MF is manual focus, I just wanted to explain FM. Someone said to me, we Developers should explain more and sharing our knowledge. :angel:

FM is typically used to transport a radio program to the tuner. It describes the way how the signal is transmitted.

In the field of photography, a manual focus camera is one in which the user has to adjust the focus of the lens by hand. Before the advent of autofocus all cameras had manually adjusted focusing; thus, the term is a retronym.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] whalesplaho:
Sharing is loving man... Its great when devs share knowledge and it makes us more enlightened too.

Thanks man. Wish i can go more into photography!!!

Atleast get good camera setup for taking great pictures!
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] zemetal:
actually, both ;) i'll test v5.24.1 and revert back :highfive:

---------- Post added at 00:27 ---------- Previous post was at 00:16 ----------

v5.24.1, pdaf off, white/blue crossfair does not appear, it does not appear also when pdaf is on

:fingers-crossed:
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] peter.schwake@gmail.com:
Yes 5.24.1 is a quick fix to avoid app freeze.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] whalesplaho:
Working perfectly now.... 5.24.1
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] peter.schwake@gmail.com:
Well not complete perfect, so I have *fixed* the missing crosshair. ( Stock behavior)

As I switched the base, I simply forget that.

:silly:
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] devilmaycry2020:
Just amazing, work nearly perfect, missing crosshair when got focus an object.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] whalesplaho:
I know it ll be better soon buddy.... Really appreciate yur kind effort towards Z5/Z4. Some devs ll just simply drop support!

Godblessings man. :good:
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] peter.schwake@gmail.com:
5.24.2 brings back crosshair :)

No, I will bring the Z5 Version to a good final.

From the very beginning we are now up to latest XZs Nougat Firmware... :D
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] whalesplaho:
Yeah brov....

My Z5 looks new n dazzling back.

Go pete!!! :good:
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] nolihowell:
Great job man I'm happy ? for the z5 users and below. Imma wait still for xz2 camera port for xz. Keep up the good work. More blessing to come.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] devilmaycry2020:
Thank Pete, for z5 user still no MF, touch capture didn't work, no response , how to setting to show crosshair?
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] peter.schwake@gmail.com:
No MF yes, the unlock of this feature brings more problems than advantages.

At least touch capture should work.

you see the crosshair everytime the phone focus is active.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] devilmaycry2020:
No crosshair at all, I can't focus to object I want. How can I focus to an object by touch it on the screen
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] whalesplaho:
Yhu need enable touch to capture and try tap on tha screen. At first it ll capture and later it will show!
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] devilmaycry2020:
yeah, I enabled touch capture but it didn't show the yellow rectangle when I touch the screen
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] Yucharis612:
Crosshair problem

Xperia Z5c / 7.1.1 stock + root (magisk) / used before Xnext 4.0 for z5 family

I have a same problem to devilmaycry2020.

The app is very fast to act, and smooth.

and it can catched focus but it didn't show the yellow rectangle.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] whalesplaho:
Yeah not showing... Its tha white dotted circle showing here!!!!
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] peter.schwake@gmail.com:
Activate PhaseDetection AF
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] peter.schwake@gmail.com:
If this is not enabled, the white 'normal' crosshair is shown.... deactivate touch capture, because touch capture is only working with normal focus (based on the time it has to focus)
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] whalesplaho:
Its always on brov.... Buh still didnt show!!!
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] snake218:

[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] ytheekshana:
V.4.0.0 - With Manual Controls (Older)

V5.24.2 - Without manual Controls (Newer)
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] kodein:
Now works. Thanks
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] Dr.Wondertainment:
Thanks for your work.

Could it workd on L OS? If i flashed xz's camera before, do i need to wipe?
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] peter.schwake@gmail.com:
Now new version online. The focus is reworked, I implement a new pdaf calculation. I designed the focus to act more like a hybrid AF.

The normal focus profit most. Simply deactivate pdaf af (tracking), touch on screen for the focus point and then shoot your picture. This mode shows a different new viewfinder.

The PDAF tracking is working like that, active pdaf AF, touch the screen for the focus point and then use the shutter key on the side of the device (better results than using the one one screen)

Multi Metering is best. Camera is sometimes set this to default, so if you change something like resolution check this setting.

Best resolution is 20.1 16/9.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] whalesplaho:
1. I like using 22.8 4:3 cos 16:9 pictures is in fullscreen and using dem as avatar on messaging app isnt cool.

2. Tha pdaf should be turned off for yurs to work right?

3. Volume key good for shooting pictures?

4. Thanks big buddy!!!

---------- Post added at 01:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 PM ----------

I noticed dat tha crosschair added doesnt work like Sony own in manual mode except superior auto.

In sony stock own, tha crosschair go round n keeps moving to get a spot but here it just stays on a spot.

Hope yhu understand what i mean, is it normal??

I flashed v5.30, my camera app was gone, xperia z4

i flashed v5.22 back to have my camera back

[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] whalesplaho:
I dnt know buddy but working fine on my Z5....

Hi Peter thanks for everything,

I Have problems.

Hello, we need delete oat folder from ImageProcessorPermission-release and ImageEnhancer?
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] peter.schwake@gmail.com:
Well, its actual not a bug. It´s based on the fact, that the translation working like an overlay. But now pdaf is shown for you. :)
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] peter.schwake@gmail.com:
to 2.

It´s now working like that :

ON means 4-axis pdaf tracking mode (touch screen to point your focus, it track´s focus point)

OFF means static (it stays on 1 Point which get focused) hybrid autofocus .

There is no recommendation, both have advantages and disadvantages.

to 3.

Of course not. You should use the shutter key. Volume can be used for zooming. :fingers-crossed:
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] peter.schwake@gmail.com:
No not more.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] peter.schwake@gmail.com:

Hes using Z4 and also a Z5 user too complained.... But working on my Z5. Flashed over 5.24.2!!!
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] shehabskull:
HI, just sign the camera apk using Zipsigner then re-push it to system folder.

[MENTION=5222845]peter.schwake@gmail.com[/MENTION] first of all thanks for your fantastic wok, I am using Xperia Z5 and all looks good expect:

1- auto focus is gone mmmm.... actually the whole focus is gone I can't see any signs that confirms my camera is focusing,

I already tried to turn on and off AF[emoji769] but it didn't help.

2- No full manual controls? :D just wondering why there is no manual controls [emoji14]

Thanks..
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] peter.schwake@gmail.com:
It should look like that...

No cause it had more disadvantages than advantages. But it seems like I have to unlock the z5 version more again for visible focus...
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] shehabskull:
No it is not like this unfortunately.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] peter.schwake@gmail.com:
Ok Guys, here are the facts we know about Z5 focusing problem :

- fully unlocked it worked

- I tried to unlock it only, but it failed again and again

- working for XZ+

Let us find out, what we can do.

So everyone who has an idea is very welcome to share it here. :confused:

xperia z4 E6553

only v5.22 working good so far

flashed v5.24.2, no focus corsshair

flashed v5.30, camera app disappear from home menu, but it is still present in priv-app/SemcCameraUI-jniLibs64-xxhdpi-release folder,

weird :confused: so, i replace the SemcCameraUI-jniLibs64-xxhdpi-release.apk with the one from v5.22, app appear again in home screen :silly:
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] peter.schwake@gmail.com:
that means potential base problems, cause 5.22 was an other base...
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] Ari Nugroho:
Thank you, I have tried v5.24, v5.24.1, v5.24.2, v5.30. v5.24 has the best focus, but in manual mode will be not responding then forcibly closed when tapping EV & WB icon. Other versions work well, but v5.24.2 is better than v5.30. I want v5.24 with a fix for the problem, or remove the EV & WB icon, because there are already color and brightness setting which has the same function in Superior Auto.

[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] zemetal:
i signed the APK as mentioned in previous post, camera works fine, pdaf does not work though
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] peter.schwake@gmail.com:

I use 5.22 as base and implemented the new features.

By the way, I think now everything fine, so thank you for your report :fingers-crossed:
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] devilmaycry2020:

You will make a another version with Oreo base in future with same feature there only for supported model?

EDIT: By the way,latest version is so good in quality and features. I miss only Oreo superior auto (ev bar on touch) and iso without open settings in manual. But for the rest, it is awesome! I hope new feaures,more quality and in future Oreo base for xz ,to unlock some features easily (i think) like iso and shutter speed toghether editable like xzs. Quality on this mod is amazing! Thanks for your work [MENTION=5222845]peter.schwake@gmail.com[/MENTION] and make this mod awesome! I'm using a xz
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] huifto:
I have a problem with installing app on z5c - it's been rooted, currently lineageos 14.1.

Installation :

- Root and Twrp are required - checked

- SuperUserMod is recommended, but not required

1. Clear data: "Camera","CameraCommon" and "Video"

Where can I find these folders? In data i see only "camera"

2. Reboot to recovery and flash:

For MM: 4.00

For N/O: 5.XX - what version should I choose? I've tried both with same result - I see the icon of app but it doesn't start. Anybody has an idea what to do?
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] mlleemiles:
This mod is for stock only.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] peter.schwake@gmail.com:
Oreo Versions for XZ will be based on Oreo XZs, but atleast before I make a final decision in this case, I will testing what base is to prefer.

More quality? Well on the software side I can only do a few things to improve settings. The limit is the max capability of the camera hardware.

Plans for Update's

- There will be a Version 5.50 Final for Nougat

- Next is Oreo ("Version 6") which will initially released with already latest possible base.

Future Development for Z4 / Z5

- I will try to upgrading the base to latest nougat (I will take a fresh stock apk, rewrite than from Zero, with documentation)

- Finally if I implement a new feature to Oreo base, I will try to add the same one for Nougat Z4/Z5.

So the development will getting slower for Z4/Z5, but of course I won't drop the support completely.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] iffadian:
hopefully final version (stable) for z5 or z4 being awesome app.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] peter.schwake@gmail.com:
My Friend it's not like here is your final - goodbye

I will only call something final, if it truly is a final.

Developers should not simply leaves projects unfinished. And if they give up - we devs should write a documentary for everyone. How many really good projects simply died, because developers stops upgrading / support etc.

If I stop Xnext™Camera, I will give you the chance to continue development.

can you mod xz premium (xz1-xzc) camera app

or xz2 camera app
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] peter.schwake@gmail.com:
Newer Camera Apks (XZ2/1) needs to be totally rewritten, Sony changed inside this apk the values for 23mp devices so there are incompatible with Z5/XZ and so on. This step by Sony makes, by the way, only sense when they plans a device with 23.3 mp.

This Step I already have done. But now camera tends the device to overheat very fast, so it's practically unusable. Unlock works like the one I have used in the newer releases.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] dnak47:
:laugh: Thanks, Peter. But can not turn of camera sounds?
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] peter.schwake@gmail.com:
This bug even exists on the stock apk. And I have no idea what is causing this bug.

it is sony security or oreo secret.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] Ari Nugroho:
What device are you using? My cam works normally
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] peter.schwake@gmail.com:
You mean when sounds are off? It's not an Oreo secret. The camera apk is written to fast by Sony. I correct about 18 mistakes, where the Sony development team simply has forgotten a letter, or have change letter (like deviec instead of device).

Then camera sounds are a mix of wav and m4a sounds, maybe there is a wrong extension used inside the apk...
