guys please i read many threads but still i dont understand what happens if you lose your TA
1- Can you please list the things you will lose if u lose TA
2- If you lose your TA can flash back stock rome?
3- does losing TA have anything to do with camera and picture quality
4- does it have anything to do with sound quality
Also If you flash another rom like CM or Parandroid will camera be better
#1. X-Reality and Gracenote (music/movie info fetcher)
#2. Yes, but you will still lose #1
#3. No
#4. No
- I don't know. I think the photo quality is a little better, but since i haven't flashed a custom ROM yet, i can't give you a good answer.

in addition to lord,
3- camera is the same. Image quality taken is the same, however 'album' will not display the images in a saturated level as you're loosing X-reality.
4- Sound quality is not effected by x-reality. x-reality is only for visuals.
unlocking bootloader will stop TrackID from working, but that doesn't effect sound quality either.
Camera with CyanogenMod - Camera is a little better. Slightly better than Sony ROM's even slightly better than 3rd party camera apps within Sony ROM's.
This is because CM post processing is better, however only slightly. Seems to be more than software that effects the camera sensor within variant firmware/s.
So in reality (excuse the pun) x-reality is nothing really important. Images in 'Album' do look better, but x-reality in movies looks aweful! But... backing up bootloader is important for warranty purposes.

No one can't help you and if you wanna understand why then check my post on miniCM treat about SONY CAMERA mystery. You will see no one dare answer my post coz I'm right on it.

Hi
At the moment i'm using the custom rom "MiniCM7-2.2.0" for my X10 Mini.
Well, unfortunately i'm having some issues with the implemented camcorder...
1. The recorded videos are stuttering. I've checked the framerate with the tool GSpot and it says 56 fps. Actually the video should be smooth with that framerate, but for some reason it's still stuttering.
Any solution for that? Would it help to overclock the cpu a bit? If yes, what is the maximum MHz i can choose without destroying my phone?
2. There is another problem with the camcorder:
When i'm recording outside in daylight, the video is much too bright - sometimes the whole screen goes white!
But when i'm recording inside where it's darker then outside, the video is much too dark - i can't barely see anyting on the display...
That also happens when i'm recording outside and then get inside in a darker place (still recording) - suddenly the whole video becomes totally dark - nearly black.
Am i the only person with this problem?
Well, then i tried lgcamera (latest version).
But that camcorder app also doesn't work properly.
As soon as i press the record button, the video freezes (not the app, just the video). All i can see then is a freezed picture. But that only happens on custom roms. I've tried several custom roms (gingerbread and froyo-roms) and several versions of lgcamera, but videorecording always freezes as soon as i press the record button...
Then i tried lgcamera on the 2.1 stock rom.
On the stock rom it doesn't freeze during video recording, but instead the same issues occur like with the implemented video camera in the custom roms: outside the video gets too bright and inside the video gets too dark! Well, at least the videos aren't stuttering on the custom rom using lgcamera...
I've read many times on this forum that people are using lgcamera without any problems on the X10 Mini - even on a custom rom! So how come it isn't working for me?
The only camera that does work properly is the stock camera in the 2.1 stock rom.
But i would like to stay on gingerbread or at least froyo...
Please, can anybody help me with this?

Well buddy.. I've got issues with the camera also.. Tried every app.. and unfortunately every app and setting failed.

Well, that really sucks
I've just read your post in the CM7-thread (btw. very funny explanation of the camera ).
In that case i'll switch back to the 2.1-stock rom, because i really need/want a good camcorder. And the stock one in the original rom ist just amazing for such a small mobile phone. Continuous auto focus ftw!
Well, thanks anyway for your reply.

Yes you right in 2.1 camera its amazing coz its maked and compiled by aliens.
Yeah my post is funny coz when I wrote it I was 100000% pissed of by the ugly android camera.
Yeah I'm using minicm for cost of my camera but this is coz I have ST15i the x mini next brother of our mini and use its camera for my needs.
I'm much in with cameras I'm amateur photographer ,displays colours , saturation , optics , HD, pixels and so on , all this things its like my seccond nature. That's why I wrote this post there on miniCM treat and like you see no one answer on it.
And in the end its soo strange how devs can port hack make and etc whole OS but when job come to camera its go to dead end.
Only reasonable explanation is Aliens coz only Sony can make this happen.
Wish I had some pall from Sony to ask him to make camera work but I haven't ....

Hey guys, I was wondering what kind of difference you get using roms that include sony's bravia engine. I've seen videos on youtube of what it looks like on Sony's handsets, but, I have no idea how it changes the look of images on the Evo.
I know it's supposed to increase the color accuracy/contrast/etc in videos and images, but is it only on still images/videos? Like it only works when you're in the gallery app? Or is it constant throughout all parts of the UI? As in, even your homescreen will look better?
Anyone have any thoughts or opinions on this? I'd love to test it out myself, but due to a number of annoying issues I can't actually unlock my bootloader or S-OFF until maaaybe tomorrow if "everything" I need to do runs smoothly.
Hello, im currently deciding whether im going to unlock my Z2 or not, so far i read something about
camera quality upon losing DRM keys, bravia engine not working, x-reality and sony based apps, all sort of things.
How much does it affects camera quality, if it's even affected? I'm not using super auto mode anyway, all my pics are taken in manual mode.
Is there a difference between regular display without bravia engine? What does x-reality engine is for?
So what should i do, any suggestions?
Thank you all in advance, i'm not sort of an advanced user, but i do know to follow tutorials, yet everything about this phone is so confusing.
oddly i didnt notice much difference in camera quality
as for X-Reality, that stopped along with Xperia apps like playstation online, X-Reality just makes pics look good in the album app, its tempoary
re lock bootloader

no there is no way getting back DRM keys, thats why im asking if its any use of them....still it would
be possible if they are backed up. But you would have to google for a tutorial...
@Envious_Data, do you miss those image enhancements? And regarding camera app functions, i'm not using them much,
like i said im photo shooting without super auto mode and i've already setup the camera in a way i like... so i guess thats much about camera

no, once your DRM keys are wiped, they are gone permanently
each device has unique ones

i dont because Camera Quality still out does Z1 and Z3 somehow
i use manual and part of my college course is photography,
(they sometimes think i use a DSLR but only in daylight shots)
camera app works perfect, little difference in camera
the X-Reality i dont care and the playstation apps i dont care, i cant afford nor have a PS3/PS4
So, like the title suggests, i have unlocked the bootloader, rooted my z5c and applied the drm-fix-thingy. I have also for example installed the xposed framework and some modules. Taking photos works and they look fine, but it won't record video. I've tried different apps, resolutions, framerates but neither front nor back camera will record. Sony camera 2.0.0 for example force closes when i try it.
Has anyone faced anything like this? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
Under my experience the camera doesn't work with xposed installed.
You decide Sony Camera (the google ones works) or xposed.
I tried google camera as well, it also takes photos (like sony's camera) but doesn't record video either :/ says it can't connect to the camera

It works again! Still don't really know what the problem was, i updated my xposed modules and rebooted the phone, now it records just fine... Maybe it just needed the reboot
Hi all,
Im thinking about getting back to stock firmware because Im not able to find a camera app that suites my usage needs. This is for me the best camera app i used but unfortunately it does not work on custom roms.
Since I turned to LOS, i couldn't become friends with:
-LOS stock cam app
-Google camera
-Camera Zoom FX
and some others i tried and deleted.
Best so far but still not really satisfying is Open Camera.
Is there some app that comes close to the V10 camera or is better than open camera?
Thanks for any answer!

some say footej other proshot are best for LOS.
as for v10.. ccamera its not the camera app. its the framework..used in tock LG based roms..
Hey, i think footej is a bit better than open camera but only in pro version, because only in pro version you can set jpeg quality to high.
Only footej camera premium! Basic isnt good but premium (paid) is the best.
Thanks for the input. Footej seemed really good. Unfortunately, before buying it it crashed when i was selecting the shutter speed. I mailed the support and wrote about it. I think i'll wait a little longer before buying the app. Also, the phone gets really hot regardless of the cam app i use. Any idea why? i cant recall if it was the same before LOS. Other than that, it seems like a really good alternative.
lightroom the best
Guys in Proshot there is Noise reduction adjustments. Manual doesn't say which one does what. There is NR HQ and LQ. My question is which option out of the two has least noise reduction as High quality vs Low Quality could be interpreted in different ways. One where High quality means lower noise reduction and other High quality meaning high strength of noise reduction applied meaning more smooth photo and less noise. Unfortunately Proshot manual does not list any description and can't find info anywhere. Thoughts guys?

For me Proshot camera is the best "alternative" app for take good quality photos... After this I can tell you that noise reduction in LQ works better than HQ, pics seems more real and smooth, HQ is too aggressive and photos loose their quality.

Ok that is where confusion lies. Tell me this. In LQ or HQ you see more grain in pictures ?
Actually is not so easy to answer. It depends a lot from light and colours. Sometimes HQ specially in day lights give better results, less grain and sharper photos, but sometimes specially in the dark LQ is better less sharp but photo quality and grains are better. For sure without noise reduction grain is always too much
I'm looking to get a G4 and installing LOS. But I don't know what 3rd party camera has manual controls for still pictures and/or video.
What's the slowest shutter speed I can get with them?
What are the framerates available?
Please don't hesitate to give as much info as you guys can muster.
Thanks.

i ditched LOS and went back to imperium rom. I tried Camera ZOOM fx, Footej Camera, Google camera, open camera, free camera and some others i think. For me, none of them came close to the stock camera app or V10 Camera ported to G4 but the one i liked the most was Footej camera. As others said, it is an driver issue in Nougat based LOS. Once the official nougat camera drivers are included in LOS, i might go back. The lack of a camera app that i could use comfortably was a dealbreaker for me.
I've had this same issue as well. I was using a stock based rom, but it stopped being updated, and my phone kept trying to update, using all my mobile data in the process. I couldn't find a way of stopping it downloading the update I couldn't install, so switched to resurrection remix, but now have the same camera problem. http://telewizor.serwis-tv.com/?lcd,23 I've been using Open Camera mostly, but its not ideal. I never thought this would be as big of an issue as it was.
What about snapdragon camera with hdr or hacked google camera with hdr+? Links are in AOSCP rom.
Which of the camera apps is able to make 360° photos compatible with facebook, like Samsung does?
I have tried Google Camera, various versions (original 3.2, 4.0 and modded 4.4), but all of them crash with error "Can't connect to camera" when I select Photo Sphere or Panorama in menu...I have stock Nougat (V29A) with titan kernel...
