Are there any custom ROMs that use Sony Camera software? - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm pretty sure the answer is no, but thought I'd ask.

I could be wrong, but from my understanding, any AOSP based roms will not have the Sony camera, or any of their effects or features.
Stock based roms on the other hand will.

What we need is a stock ROM with all the Sony bloat other than camera, noise canceling, and power management stripped out.

Agree with this completely! I love CM and CarbonROM (which is what I'm running right now) but really miss the Sony camera.
I've run RomAur (up until 3.6.. when I went to try to upgrade to 4.0 I had nothing but problems) and monxdified which like the other posters said have the Sony camera because they are based on stock and not only that, you can use an Xposed module to make 20MP 3:4 and 15MP 16:9 shots work in auto mode instead of the standard 8MP.

Camera in 2.3.3 vs 2.1

Are there any major differences concerning the picture / video quality between these two firmwares?
Sent from my X10i
2.1 vs 2.3.3 vs 2.3.4 vs 2.3.5 vs 2.3.7 (except 1.6) = No difference if camera work properly on all versions.
Hum, I thought SE "improved" the camera with every new firmware release.
In that case, I think I'll go back to 2.1.

2.3.3 is way better then 2.1.

The camera itself doesn't improve it still 8.1 mp if thats what u mean
Edit: yeah gb is better than eclair thats why it's an upgrade. It ain't gonna improve resolution though.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
well all i know is that camera focus speed in 1.6 is the fastest so far
Improved camera doesn't mean only more mpx.U have ****ty 5 mpx cams(HTC Hero) and much better 5 mpx like one on Samsung galaxy s.(this is only example).Somethimes in OS upgrades developers improves camera as well(better colors,less noise etc.).

That's what I was talking about.
I just asked because I read somewhere that 2.1 is better in camera quality.
Is it true?
Sent from my X10i
All I can say is are u guys expecting our phone to have 16mp camera by time ics arrives or somethin? Os update isn't gonna make ur camera have higher resolution. It just improves ui and how it implemented, things like that. I suppose with advance in tech it could make image clearer but the resolution ain't gonna change.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Everyone knows that the resolution won't change with software improvement since it's hardware related. But colour management, contrast, detail, etc. can, and that's what my question is about.
2.3 have faster focus speed~
camera feature change from eclair to gingerbread
what I know is gingerbread removes the smile detection and some other feature in xperia x10 which eclair have and works correct
Same image quality without some options(like smile detect)

I can't find any difference between the stock camera app quality from 2.1 to 2.3....
Because they have same quality,nothing changed.

I just flashed back to 2.1 and this is one of the reasons. The video camera on 2.3 sucks, I can barely hear my recordings, on 2.1 its back to being nice and loud.

try to turn off the stabilization, it will work faster.
Stock gb is very slowly and that's why stock eclair is better

JB - ROM with HDMI and front camera

Is there any bloatware free ROM that supports HDMI and Front camera, possibly JB?

[Q] Fastest ROM

Introduction:
Hi everyone! I'm currently running Chip v1.5 with Entropy's kernel on my US YP-G70. It's great, but I'm wondering if there is a faster ROM to use (eg: less CPU use and less resource-consuming background processes). JoyOS seems great but I'm wary of the slow wireless connecting and iOS theme.
What I'm Looking for (MUST):
- fully working camera (taking photos and videos, and not just on fastburst)
- working wi-fi and bluetooth
- GPS compatibility with Gapps (apparently some ROMS - forgot which specifically - have GPS issues)
- Built-in non-stock launcher (as in the stock launcher is removed and some other launcher is installed as the only and default launcher)
- light (low RAM usage, like LewaOS claims 200 MB+ free)
- fast
It Would Be Nice to Have...
- customizable lockscreen built-in (or an option to disable the lockscreen so I can use WidgetLockscreen without excess processes)
- overclocking (don't worry - I won't go crazy and set it above 1.2-ish)
- Samsung bloatware removed
Closing Statement:
Please comment below to suggest me some ROMs that satisfy the above conditions. With the requirement of a working camera and bluetooth, I'm probably looking for a Stock/GB-based ROM. On a last note, I know you devs out there put a lot of work into your ROMs, so I hope I'm not coming off as unappreciative.

Actually, I would love to use CM 10.1 with Sultan kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252851) to get that wonderful 441MB RAM but people keep saying that neither bluetooth nor the camera works. Perhaps the tweaks you mentioned deal with those? Btw thanks, TheKryptonite, for helping me out again.

Bluetooth works and both cameras work (albeit you can only take pictures with the rear camera using FastBurst). There is also a video fix zip file floating around that will give you video recording functionality.
I wouldn't really call it working when you can take 800x480 "pictures" but always something. 3mpx quality was awfuk too. I have to try that fastburst

It still works, but the pictures with the rear cam just won't be as good quality. Some other devs and I are working on it though

Why causes it to be in poor quality?

Because capturing pictures doesn't work, only preview does. So they take screenshots using fast burst. But image previews are bad quality. So they're trying to fix the camera

as far the the best performing rom u really should stick with stock based roms. that just my advice if you were to update u must realize that you must sacafice a few features but your than also get a ton of new minor ones back i guess it just depends on your own preference.
I'm not looking for jb roms in particular, so gb-in fact, any-roms are fine with me, given they satisfy the criteria, of course

[Q] Samsung Camera App on a custom rom???

I'm rooting my Verizon Galaxy S4 (16g) with Cyanogenmod but only thing that stops me right now is the camera. The camera on the phone works great with Samsung's camera software. But since I'm moving on from Touchwiz to Cyanogenmod, I'm curious if there is any way to keep the Samsung's camera app on a custom rom. Thank you.
Unfortunately the Samsung Camera App requires the Touchwiz framework. It doesn't work on AOSP roms. You can try the Eclipse rom. It has that AOSP look and feel but is touchwiz based so it has the Samsung Camera app on it. The dialer, settings, contacts, and notification panels are all AOSP.

You can only use it on a TW rom. It hooks into proprietary TW framework that we can't get source code for to port to AOSP.
If you use a GPE rom, such as the one by Danvdh, it's a little different. Since these are built on the GPE device base they're still AOSP roms but they use Samsung drivers for the camera. It's still as not as good as the full TW camera, but with a third party app (Google's camera still sucks) it's the best camera experience you'll get on AOSP on this phone.

All very true.. Have you used that Lenovo Super Camera??? I thougt it was really cool, comparable to the Wiz Camera, just depending on which version you found it either required all sorts of permissions/libraries . if we could scrounge up just an easy to install... No permissions Lenovo that'd be cool

Yeah I tried it right when it got pulled from that Intel phone Lenovo came out with, I've never been much of a camera aficionado though. I thought the gallery app was really cool but a lot of Chinese all over the place lol.
