I don't own a Z2 yet, I'm still trying to decide which phone to buy. My choice will be influenced by the custom roms available. I like to use Cyanogen Mod but will I lose the Sony camera app and the ability to use TimeShift, 720fps and will the quality of the photos not be as good? As I understand it, Sony do some post processing on the photos and I'm assuming that a custom rom won't have that. Can any CM11 users confirm this?
All xperia features are lost but the quality of anything produced will be better or the same
Take note that CM11 official for Z2 isnt stable
Also take note that The stock rom is mostly just a themed AOSP with some fancy features
Anyway stock features are
Noise canceling
XReality
Xperia Smart cam
Xperia Apps
XPERIA theme engine
Xperia audio settings (i like these)
Many other goodies

The XPERIA Arc camera app was created for a different set of camera hardware. The Arc has Sony's touted 'Exmor R' CMOS sensor and a different lense where both perform better in low-light conditions than whatever SE smart phone before it.
I would think the app itself and whatever drivers it might require would need to be changed in some way to make it work with the X10. And even if someone were to get something like this working, the differences in hardware would make the end result taken pictures look pretty much like whatever came out of the X10's stock camera app anyway.

Unless there was a dramatic difference in picture quality and general functionality, I don't think the fancier user interface of the Arc's stock camera would be enough to get the XDA devs to even try porting it over for the X10.
I want the stock xperia arc camera interface ported to my xperia x10 too! Just the interface.

ROM is a matter of personal opinion. Whichever ROM a person chooses to use is because that ROM appeals to that individual. Therefore, it is not easy to suggest a ROM, as what a person likes is not necessarily what the other person would like.
Also it is not necessary to change a ROM to obtain good sound performance. There are enough sound mod in XDA to satisfy a person's need, without him or her changing a ROM. You can try Viper audio mod (which I would personally recommend, especially for the wide variety of opetions available) or the Acid audio mod or Beats audio mod etc. Sound performance would also depend on your music player. Players like PowerAmp, Player Pro etc, offer a lot of control over how the sound quality would be like.

Yeah ofc i know that,but on my secound phone i tryed alot of roms,with have good sound quality,or a little lower. Its a difference between dll's
Also i had Viper audio,its not bad but battery drain is just horrible. About 40% faster my phone is dead with this mod. Thats why i am asking with one ROM for live with walkman will have good sound mod's like Xperia Z walkman "pure performance"

u think wrong bro, its not rom
i would tell u choose A ROM. to ur liking 1st. bcuz this is the real deal. soundmods are a bit unversally so it dont matters.
just to list: (works on(above GB))
Viper's Audio --> CM, & STOCK up to 4.4
Sony Audio (WALKMAN) cm & stock up to 4.4
DSP manager - is only on CM (or DiY) probably this will have lowest effect on battery bcuz its very stripped down in sound ench.
acid audio is too buggy/not really for our devices
those ''beats'' audio mods are more like a joke.
i would say CM is allways best in battery even if u dont will use 4.2+ , switch to cm (even cm9) will give u huge improvement.
soundmod its up to u.

Could you help me with these questions? (I would like to use 4.4 custom rom but do not know how good the camera apps there)
1.How good is camera apps (Google stock camera??) on the 4.4 custom roms in comparison with Sony stock camera app? (My phone is xperia mini).
2.Is it possible to have the Sony camera app on custom roms?
3. Is there any camera app (on google play store) which could be at the same level with the Sony stock camera app?
Thanks in advance.

Stock camera apps wont work on any CM based custom roms and NO camera app is best at present to be at par:crying:.

Thank you very much for your clear answer :good:
Hmmm...there a lot of 3rd party camera out there that can work as good as stock ICS camera on our devices....you just have to figure out and tested all of them to know which one is better....
in CM11, they use Slim rom camera that work better then what we have in JB rom....the only thing that it lack is maybe HD recording which is base on custom kernel we use in our rom....
i'm currently using PAC 4.4.2 rom and i gotta say camera in that rom is a good as you can get but if you are not satisfied with it then you can use Camera 360 for taking picture and Camera MX for video recording....don't use Perfectly Clear cause that camera work better on devices that have higher ram than 512mb....

Hello guys,
I'm actually on Existenz 3.5 rom, but I'm a bit disappointed about my Z2 performance.
It lacks of smoothness and speed also with Doom kernel and a performance oriented setup.
So, the question is, can you suggest me a configuration which includes an optimized AOSP rom + a couple of links to intergrate the Sony camera app and the noise cancelling?
I'm a bit confused, on forum I can't clearly find an answer to my need. So that's why I would like to trust on your configuraton experience
Thanks a lot!
Aosp and cm11 you cant get noise canceling however people have ported the camera app
(google it)
I recomend using stock as existenz was always kinda slugish both on my Xperia S and Z and Z2
Does anyone knows how to bring in excellent sony Album app?
I had it on my previous xperia 1.
In mark 3 it is missing... What a shame!
They replaced it with horrible and ugly google stock crap...that does not have half of the functions sony Album app had like to hide the pictures etc.
Why sony is constantly degrading its software from features that worked great??? Whatever they do with software, their obsession on software degradation, constant feature / functions removal is not acceptable!
I am not able to find sony album in Google Play.
Any working .apk?
Please help!

OMG! I hope it will work. I cannot live without this app. Without it xperia does not exist for me. Thank you for hint
I agree! No problem
I just downloaded it and it works!!!
Can't understand why sony, company claiming they focus on photography removed this brilliant app! It is working on my mark 3. I am so happy now
Can someone provide feedback to sony to bring it back to xperia line please? This is a must and iconic sony app. This app builds their brand. Some devs did a great job developing this app.
Here you go. There is a whole topic here on XDA

I never used it much, I find 3rd party Gallery apps are better to be honest. I did miss the Sony email app but found that. Will give the Album app another whirl...
In the latest revision of sony album app they broke rotate function. In upper right corner behind 3 dots there was possibility to rotate the picture but it is no longer there. Apart from that it still works great
but the sony album cannot perform edit photo right ? like brush, crop ...still need third part ?
