Cyanogenmod 11 Sony Xperia Z2 4k recording? - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, how are you?
I got the Z2 a week ago and since I received it, the first thing I did was install Cyanogenmod 11.
The phone is working gracefully, best phone experience I ever had.
However I'm not being able to record videos in 4k.
This is a huge advantage of the Z2, and I'm really sad I'm not being able to use it.
How can I record videos in 4K in the Z2 with cyanogen?
Thank you so much.

You can't. CM has yet to implement this feature. Although it may not be implemented at all. It was mentioned in CM thread, just search for a little.

Focus issues when recording video at 1080p 60fps

Hi guys,
I bought the honor last week and i am so far very satisfied.
However I noticed, that the autofocus rarely works when recording 1080p (60fps) video.
At 90% it does not work at all (unless I touch the screen to focus on a certain point).
When recording 1080p (30fps) and 4K the focus works perfectly and the picture gets sharp without my intervention.
Did you notice similar behaviour on your Honor View 10?

Just tried it out.. No issues.. It focuses right without me touching the screen.. Which firmware version are you on? I'm on .140 (the latest I guess)..

Honor does phased rollouts for their updates.. The latest one might come within a week or 2.. I'm not sure how the camera behaves in 130.. Maybe someone else will share their feedback [emoji106]

Google Camera On Zenfone Max Pro Tested!

Hello everyone, I recently unlocked the bootloader of my Asus Zenfone Max Pro and installed Magisk to root the phone. All of this was done for just thing - Trying out the Google Camera as I do feel that the Stock Camera app is pathetic and that's the major reason why the Zenfone Max is not performing that great. For Google Camera to work, After you have rooted your phone, download this app called 'build.prop editor'. After it is downloaded search for 'persist.camera.HAL3.enabled' The value would be 0 by default, Change it to 1 and then reboot your phone. Now install the Google Camera apk(Whichever you feel like, I'm attaching the one that I keep using) and you're good to go. Everything including HDR+, Front And Back portrait Mode, Video Stabilisation works.
Here is the complete video review along with Comparisons with the Redmi Note 5 Pro On Google Camera.
Thanks....google cam is definitely better.
How to root Zenfone max peo
Now that you have rooted are you able to use Tez ?
Wow man that looks far better!

hey brother, first big thanks to you for doing this.
yesterday i just ordered 3gb version of this and glad to find your google camera app review. i earlier saw your videos with max pro m1. i like the way you reviewed it, like a daily usage user unlike others who do monotonous review which gives the feel that the person did not even use it.
https://www.gsmarena.com/asus_zenfone_max_pro_(m1)_zb601kl-9173.php
Anyways, my query is regarding google camera app on max pro m1 ?
1) In the specs, its given that phone supports 1080p/60fps recording. During its announcement it was mentioned that such feature will come ? Could you please check whether google camera app provides the same ?
2) And in the video you have mentioned with google camera app, support for EIS comes in ? Could you please elaborate more on that.
And part from this, please give your general view with new updates how much is the Fingerprint sensor and Faceunlock is making life better or worse as most says because of its slow speed?
Cheers,
Arnold
Any apk for unrooted device? All can't root the device, as it has risk of making phone dead.
What happens to the Battery life and futures OTA updates !?
Thanks for the post
Indeed am looking forward to root my asus max pro m1 and install google camera
But Need to know how it affects the battery life and Future OTA updates that the Phone is likely to receive.
Looking forward for an answer !
Cheers and Peace!

It doesn't affect the battery life and apparently OTA Updates will work with Redwolf Recovery. I haven't tested it since there is no new update to test with

I haven't found anything for unrooted phones. Rooting won't make your phone dead. There are ample amount of guides here on xda which are very simple.

I couldn't see 60fps option but I will try some other google camera apk and reverify. About EIS, yes it works with Google Camera. Sometimes you get some artifacts on the left/right edge but overall the footage seems a lot smoother. I still find fingerprint sensor to be slower and face unlock is a hit or miss. I'd say it works 70% of the times. Struggles sometimes in indoor or dim lighting conditions.
i just use Oneplus Camera, i think its still better than Google Camera. Go find it at apkmirror.

Custom Rom on stock Sony Xperia Tablet Z LTE

Hi folks,
Could someone please help with the following?
I have the tablet in the subject. Haven't used it in ages, as I have an iPad Air 2 from work which I prefer.
My daughter is now a teen and keeps pinching my tablet to view all her shows on my tables, although she has a rooted Nexus 7 I gave her with CyanogenMod installed.
This is driving me up the wall. Can't afford to get a new tablet at the moment so I dug up my old Sony Tablet.
My Xperia Z tablet is stock with the latest update Sony pushed out - I think it's version 5.1.1 or something.
I see a lot of roms available for this device on xda.
Is there any benefit to root the device and install one of those or is the device outdated? Will it stream Netflix, etc in HD?
Many thanks!

Should i get one ?

Hello every one ,
Im considering to get pocofone, and i wanted to hear some suggestions from you guys that are actualy using the phone.
Currently i have Mia1 on pie update , with google camera , and ota working , i did it back on nougat and since than i've been quite happy with this phone and still am , so i didn't play with custom roms with it . Before i had a nexus 6 , so i love stock android. My moms S4 jfltexx is dying , so i will give her my MiA1.
And the only phone worth it on a 350$ phone right now for me seems pocofone. Only concern for me is miui but im open to it ,as i've never tried it before.
How has been the experience to you guys. I've seen a lot of reviwes on youtube, and for me it checks most of the boxes, but hearing from users here on xda is always better :victory:
I mostly use my phone for youtube, reddit and xda , and randomly play pubg with friends, no other real gaming. And i love HEADPHONE JACK :laugh:
Sorry for long post , and thanks for any suggestion.

Go for it, if you like MIUI cool, if you don't flash Pixel Experience rom and you get stock Android back
Better get Asus Zenfone 5z or 1+6T If you can spend a bit more.
I have Pocophone for over 1 month now and i love this phone. Some experience touch issue lag, but i don't, the stock camera is not that good indoor or low light, but you can install google camera apk with night mode here from xda and the image quality will be flagship level, video quality with stock camera is good with 960 fps slow mo, 4k 60 fps and 1080p image stabilization. The screen is good, build quality is good, MIUI is good looking in my opinion and has some extras that stock android doesn't have, before this i had a nexus 5x and i was a fan of stock android.
I moved from samsung note 4 to pocophone and i must say i will never again buy samsung. I love pocophone i think is best value phone , go for it

Camera autofocus stuck/broken

Hey guys,
Been following this community for a while and decided to move on from my Nexus 6p to the pocophone which I was eagerly excited for.
I immediately updated from miui 9 with Android 8 to miui 10 with Android 9 and noticed my camera autofocus is stuck on.
This happens inside the miui camera app and also gcam on multiple versions. If I manually click focus it stays untill the scene changes. Because of this, only half the photos appear sharp while others are blurry.
I found a video online showing similar behavior But I can't link it
Would this be a hardware fault? Any suggestions I should try?
I'm going to flash a custom rom once the 72hr wait period finishes and see if a different kernal fixes it.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
a bit late reply but whatever,
i have the same problem i just now i figured when i hit my phone on the side with my palm it fixes itself.
i just ordered new camera module for like 10 bucks and will tell you if it works as it should once it comes and i replace it.
