question about camera and JB - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

i am so satisfied with my XPM (st15i, smultronj) thanks for the developers working on this forum, it is up to date, working smooth and giving me all benefits of the JB except one thing, the camera, i love to take photos with mobile, but the difference between the stock ICS pictures and the JB camera solutiond is horribile
is there any chancefrom the sony to open the JB cam libs for xperia 2011's to find other great solution by the developers to solve my problem ?
..or i gonna think change my loved device (that i do not want to do)
opinion welcome...

I don't think so. It doesn't look like Sony's gonna release the libs. Until then the quality will remain the same.
You can try stock or stock based ROMs for good camera quality.

[q] can any 1 port stock gb camera for ics

Hi
is it possible to run or port GB stock camera on ICS?
if any 1 know please help
thanks
Why do you want it? A problem?
I have XM with RealICS r4.1 too and camera works perfectly (pictures and movies)
I'd like to have the GB camera too. It was, uh..., better optimized for our small screens. The drawer design was a lot better IMO.
It's not much of a big deal, you know, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

sony xperia ray ics 4.0.4
stock rom unrooted

Cmon, someone?
sony xperia ray ics 4.0.4
stock rom unrooted
is this app more suitable than others 4.2 cam apps?

WHY?

WHY doesnt xperia S get some roms and kernelS?
Other devices like , Arc and Arc S , have ton of roms , but xperia S doesnt
Even xperia mini has alot of roms , why is xperia S so limited??
its because the S is to new and the devs are limited at time... it will change in the near future
Who cares about the amount? It´s all about the quality in my opinion. Having FXP working hard on both cm9 aswell as cm10, we sure have that. MIUI is allso a high quality rom, that is extreamly smooth and still have most of the usefull stock apps, best of all it works those that don´t want to unlock their bootloader.
If you could have 10 OK kernels or 1 great kernel, which would you go for?
I'd prefer the one.
And by the way, you don't count development support with the amount of ROMs and kernels, you count it by the quality of ROMs and kernels

What ROMs do you want? No one whining about quantity managed to answer this question before.
Thankful for what is there.

...and it took almost a year before the lot of ROM's showed up for the ARC and at that time I bought the S.
Quality of FXP is high
They released cm10 very fast and got most of the things working.

I found cm9 to have problems with the brightness , its low even when its on the highest level ,and cm10 doesnt have a camera app , i really need camera , i know miui is cool , but i want more stuff ... :fingers-crossed:
the stuff will come... CM9 is Stable, for GB the KA Rom is great, ICS and JB is just beginning with developing, they are a couple of great kernels... for that SXS has not much users like HTC oder Samsung devices, and just a couple of active Developers... its great what the do - and as i said, the device is relative new, and in the future there will give a lot of cool stuff - i mean, the SXS is official CM and MIUI supportet - that means a Long Tearm Support

I'll have AOKP ICS for you in a week. Paranoid porting is on the way. JB fully working depends on Sony.
There is much development for the XS.. there are 3 good kernels 2 fully working stockbased roms, CM9,CM10 ... Aokp is coming what do you want? Do you want the best rom ever seen in just one day? that wouldnt ever happen because developers are not better than other people and the most have a job or anything else

[REQ] JB drivers for sony 2011 models

Hi guys, seems sony is not going to support us and not going to update our phones to the latest Jelly bean android os. Looking around the thread i see the only problem with sony not updating to jb is with the drivers for jelly bean for our phones, i also found out that making the drivers is not a impossible task but a very hard one ( seems X8 has no problem running JB as devstaff said ). I on behalf of all the owners of 2011 xperia devices kindly request all the great developers here in this forum to join togeather to develope drivers for these devices, pls guys help us keep our great phone RAY up-to date.
As far as I know it's NOT an impossible task (because nothing is impossible), but our developers have to deal with reverse engineering and believe me concerning drivers it's a very complicated thing. Too much effort and time put with minimal or no gain at all.
I remember WM 6.5 ROMS for HTC Touch HD whose support was so quickly dropped by HTC and we, simple folk, didn't get the desired 6.5 update. So there were cooks and lot's of 6.5 Blackstone ROMS but, as genius as they were, developers didn't manage to get them work full throttle because, guess what, of them blasted drivers!
So the answer to your question is probably "no"..
am i missing the point of this thread?
there is CyanogenMod 10 jb which supports well most 2011 handsets - CyanogenMod the best you can have on the xperia ray.
i too have an xperia ray and was very unhappy with the original Sony bloat - the phone constantly crashed, rebooted, froze up - you name it, it made no fun at all. after throwing it around out of anger, i put myself together and installed CyanogenMod 9 at first, all previous errors were gone spontaneously. now a month or two ago i started to move to CyanogenMod 10 and guess what, it works great - running android 4.1.2. i'm anxious to install the latest fxp146 which will be online soon.

Xperia X8 support stopped with 2.1, but they have jelly bean, so it's not impossible as you say. If the developers wish they could do it for ray too.

Ya man CM is awesome, but it dosen't contain the awesome picture quality of the sony ics camera, there was a picture preview glitch in CM. I'm saying that it would be great if developers could make the drivers for ray and make a debrand engine of sony jb version it will be fuc**in awesome thats all mate.
Well. Only sony has to do this. No developer is able to build drivers. We can port ones as FXP do. And see what is haappening. You dont ahve a full working and cool JB. SO you will never will. There is no engineer that knows sonys hardware and would like to be part of xda and share. No possible way

Then can you tell me how xperia x8 having only 600mhz processor runs jelly bean so smoothly, with its software support stopped by sony in android 2.1 foryo. There is a way, the devolpoers could do it, i personally think if the FXP,AOKP,PA join hands they could do it

It seems you do not fully understand how drivers are developed. And with x8 devs were just lucky to get hands on something similar which they adapted for this xperia model. Hell, you can have legendary HTC HD2 running Android and WP7 smoothly but you won't find not a single driver created from the ground up by our XDA tech gurus! So I repeat, what you suggest is very complex and most likely impossible.

Well for us jelly bean is smooth too but when it's not fully useful and it freezes a lot. For x8 its the same

We need good devs, like Nobodyatall to help us port drivers and more.
Maybe we should start a donation to Naa to help us? Cuz nAa is a superior dev, he made 2.2, 2.3, 4.0, 4.1 for the X8, and the X8 only runs eclair on stock.
Is my idea good? Should we ask nAa for help?
Another idea is to port DesireHD roms because the HW is almost the same, or maybe Xperia J?
Nothing is impossible, we just need good developers thats good at working with drivers.

If you're really willing to put some effort into it, go for it! Ask Naa and see what he says. I bet he'll also have useful information when it comes to porting :good:

Jelly in my devices is superb, better game performance, better battery live, ect, all whit stock GHZ speed, no need to overclock on JB. :fingers-crossed:

A few questions for CM10 users.

So I have been tempted to flash CM10 for a long time but stock features like Multiwindow and Camera app by Samsung keep me from it.
So i wanted to ask if the quality if the pictures in CM10 was as good as stock S3 Camera app? And I saw there are bugs in cam such as touch 2 focus issues with enabled flashlight and recording effects broken. TV Out issue is also a con..
So is it worth using CM10? Why do you use it. I know some people love vanila android but other than that anything else?
Oh and which one do you prefer, 4.2 or 4.1, I assume both builds are stable enough for everyday use.
CM camera is worse

worse in what sense? app is bad or picture quality sucks?
both
Guess I wont be flashing CM10.. why do people use it?
because they like its features and the AOSP look as well as the lack of bloat
Yeap, the camera in CM10 and 10.1 is worse.
But I still use it because I like the stock Android look. Next time I'll just buy a Nexus..

!!!! ICS camera quality on JB !!!!

Guys is there any app or some thing to make JB camera like ICS i knw JB libs are not being released By sony but still is there any way to make quality atleast not like ICS but some how near to that ?
i've ever tried jb camera+, but cannot see the difference between stock camera, i think it's my eye problem :cyclops: but it's nice to use and now i just use stock camera
my friend said fv-5 camera is good but i've never use it, maybe u wanna try and share how the quality is
Not JB camera libs = No drivers for it

Until Sony relase the camera libs, is not possible to increase the camera quality. It´s like a PC monitor with Windows who hasn´t drivers, it have a bad quality. The problem here is: the corporation hasn´t relase drivers for Jelly Bean 4.x, and retro-compatibility can´t be used on Android ( i guess).
That´s all I know, I never tested JB cause my bootloader is locked.
Have a nice day.
