Has anyone noticed an issue where camera apps will be missing the UI? For instance, Pano a very popular panorama app and even some of the video apps like MX player will have this issue where the image you are viewing draws on top of the UI making it unable to be seen. I am running AOKP Milestone 1 but unfortunately do not have enough posts yet to put this there.
Any info would be greatly appreciated as it causes me a lot of issues.
I apologize if this is in the wrong location but I had a question and am hoping to find the answer.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Go into Settings / Developer Options and check "Disable HW overlays".
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
Guys, just seconds ago, I found, that there's the (from what I guess) new photo pro app from xperia 1 III is available here apkmirror.com
I tried to install and it worked!
Not able to take a screenshot as it's forbidden by system (not really necessary, sony). It has the new basic mode, that was shown on press release.
What are the differences with the mark II version? Difference in image quality or options?
From my guess, what sony is going to archive in future models, is to combine the normal and the pro-app, so there would be no need to develop and maintain two different apps - that saves money for them.
The linked app is already combined, some settings are slightly different insinde the pro-modes. You can switch to effects from basic-mode. I'm going to try to abandon the normal app and see, if the new one misses anything.
Thanks for posting that. I've tried it and it's great except that I normally open photo Pro in manual mode but this new app defaults to the basic camera app so you then have to change it to the camera pro app yourself. A small thing but just one more step that we didn't have previously when the two were separate apps. I see no setting to change how it opens by default so if anyone else does...
On a positive note, I may be imagining a slight thing but I think quality has maybe improved fractionally. To be specific, everyone has raved about this phone taking RAW files that you can develop yourself ( even though I think most flagship phones do now ) but I have always found that indoor shots with this phone in RAW always require a tripod which means you are just as well getting your real camera out. The ISO has to be low otherwise there is so much noise that even tools in lightroom struggle to fix it. But I think I see less noise now in handheld shutter speeds in low light.
But thanks to OP for spotting this app & bringing it to our attention.
BTW, how does anyone know this is the app from Xperia 1 iii when it's not released yet? Is there information on Sony website?
Many thanks.

I always open the Pro app with a push on the camera button. The new Pro app can be configured to open in Pro mode when pressing the camera button, so it works great for me.
Thanks very much. Ye, I saw you can choose the default in new settings too. I'm enjoying the new app.
Good find. Works well on the Xperia 5II as well.

The is a setting for "Open in last mode used". Since I always use the Pro Mode that works for me.
After installing the APK, can't choose the photo pro as option with camera key.
What I need to do to choose the photo pro as default?
Had to remap power button gesture to use the photo pro app. Camera button does not have photo pro option after installing this APK

That's what I've done too, with button mapper app. Howerver, it does not work when screen is off for my non rooted device. Don't forget to set photopro bypass in button mapper when photopro is active.
Tap tap app is also an interesting option.
For now I removed the update and reverted to the original Pro app.

So the old PRO app was not able to be used wiht the front camera, right?
Is there a way how to downgrade to original Photo Pro w/o root? I fear the answer is no.
It seems this upgrade broke eye AF at least on 70mm camera. All pictures of my wife and daughter focused on eye are out of focus. . Also manual object tracking seems not to work at all.

Yes, it's easy. Go to settings, apps. Find the Photo Pro app in the list, click on it. From the menu, choose "remove updates". That's it.

I really hope that Sony will provide the new photo pro app on our device with the Android 12 update...

If you want to open the new (Xperia 1/5 III) PhotoPro app with the camera button, even from locked screen, you can check my simple method here (since it's the same for Xperia 5II): https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/updated-camera-pro-app.4283199/post-85866439

Unfortunately, on our device Xperia 1II, this new photopro app tends to take photos out of focus...
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
[APP][4.4+] Latest Sony Album 9.9.A.0.20 (Updated 9 March 2021)
Hello Guys,I Want To Share The Latest Material Designed Sony Album 9.9.A.0.20 From Sony Mobile Updated On 9 March 2021 It Should Work On Android 4.4 KitKat / 5.0 / 5.1 Lollipop / 6.0 Marshmallow / 7.0 / 7.1 Nougat / 8.0 / 8.1 Oreo / 9 Pie / 10...
forum.xda-developers.com
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 ?
Hey guys i was wondering if anyone could help me figure out how to change the saturation on the Sony Xperia 1 III
I'm used to setting a high saturation on All my screens since i love when colors pop
So i find the screen rather dull to look at, especially in games.
Changing the normal white balance doesn't really satisfy me as it doesn't make the screen more vibrant
Thanks for any help
Hi,
in past, for older xperia devices there was "vivid mode' within screen options in settings.
Unfortunately, sone as a company obsessed to remove features and options its fans loved decided to remove this feature among the others too.
Now we have only normal and washed out (creator) modes...
The only thing is to e-mail official sony support hoping they will pass this info to sony xperia software division internally.
Tbh, on a software level what sony does with its devices is horrible. Thank's god I was able to download sony album app from Internet and it works. This app was removed too... If it didn't work for me, I would return this device. Now happy with having sony album.
Unfortunately screen vivid mode was not an app but just integrated setting
I am missing it too.
