Hello everyone. Since I haven't seen any discussion about mods, I decided to make this thread to list working and non-working mods and promote good mods.
Post in the format with your variant and firmware number of this post so that I can add them easily. Be sure to link to the mod in the title of the mod.
Feel free to discuss mods and stuff for our device and please contribute
I am (nor is anyone) not responsible for any damages caused by these mods whether they work or not

Yes i had it working on e2303 with selinux mode changer .... i decided to play around and tested some stuff and now driver won´t install anymore even with selinux mode permissive.
i don´t know what is going wrong... maybe the selinux mode changes to late on bootup ?
anyone with some idea how to fix that ?
Thanks!

hmm tried to install some sound mods, but they get stuck at 99% during boot.
It's a blue circular bar that fills up, doesn't go past 99%.
Any ideas?

Yeah it was Desire that caused that.
Some others stopped at 99%, but booted up after waiting 10-25 minutes.
Also no Sony sound mods have worked for me.
They might boot fine and add extra options, but EQ never work.
I'm guessing my FW version is the issue.

I don't even see any accents. Unfortunately that is really off topic. Anyways, sorry everyone for not being there. I just started the new semester and I am settling in. I'm not sure when I will update the OP. In the meantime, continue to talk about mods and xposed modules.

Hello Forum,
So I've seen various different ports and apps for the newer Xperia range but cannot seem to find a solution for a Z2 running CM12.1 not CM12.
I've been reading through these but still cannot seem to find what's needed.

I used to have a Custom Stock ROM running on the Z2 before upgrading to CM12.1 how ever I set up the stock with the apps well over a year ago so cannot seem to remember how I had put the apps accross.
Now I'm running CM12.1 I'm not sure if I need to use the Apps from the Z3/Z5 etc as they're based on the newest OS.
I wanted to try get the sony album,network connect tools ,and sound/media apps.
I've tried restoring the Album app as a test with TitaniumB but no luck.
Anyone got any ideas ?

In Google you can find album apk that works on every device.
There's also walkman zip for cm devices.
The zip is called: Xperia_Z5_Premium_Walkman™_Port_v1.1_by_androidexpert35.zip
But I had no luck with camera apk.
Sent from Xperia Z2
Luckily not from an iPhone = Yesterdays technology at tomorrows prices
i use this way and everything's work fine, i'm only using the music, album, sound Z5, and video

Thank you, but I am looking for the Google Camera because it has special features like a "bokeh" effect with one Camera only...
Moreover, I managed to get it under Umi Z with 6.0 ROM, flashing a Zip file with TWRP; but I didn't find anything like this for 7.1.1 ROM... That's what I would love to find
Hey,
i just flashed official EUI indian 19s on my Le max 2 due to battery issue with all oreo custom roms.
i enabled Camera2api using build prop editor.
But now when i am trying to install any developer's google cam mod i am facing multiple problems-
1. Many mods doesn't support android 6.0.1 because of that every time when i am trying to install a modded apk i get this error - THERE WAS A PROBLEM WHILE PARSING THE PACKAGE. ( Screenshot attached)
2. After searching for some time i am able to find some modded apk which does install but they r also not working properly - some are giving bizarre pinkish images and some r dont even have basic HDR+ function in them. ( Screenshot attached)
Could you guys please suggest me which google camera mod supports indian 19s and work properly and have basic function like HDR+ and portrait mode working .
Thanks in advance.

Heyyo, you'll need a version of Google Camera Mod for Marshmallow and you will also need to force Camera API v2 as EUI ROM only uses camera API v1.
This guide tells you how to do that and it is the same on X2 with EUI ROM. I the raw mode stuff probably won't work as that is MediaTek specific parts for this guide.
https://appuals.com/enable-camera2-api-shoot-raw-android/
On here you will need to search for an Android 6.0 Marshmallow version of Google Camera Mod.
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
Third option is to switch to ChrisBalGreece versions of Indian EUI ROM and I think he even has one based on Indian 21s as I believe all his EUI ROM mods come with Camera API v2 and Google Camera Mod included.
Good luck!

Thanks For Your Reply.
I already enabled Camera2Api using that same method and i cheeked it using Manual Camera Compatibility app from plus store and Camera2Api is working super fine after it.
The real issue is i am unable to find a modded version of Gcam which have basic function working properly android marshmallow 6.0.1 - some are giving bizarre pinkish images and some r dont even have basic HDR+ function in them.
Because approximately every modded app work only with oreo or nogut.
Is anyone out there who is using a modded Gcam which have basic function working properly Like HDR+ and Portrait Mode on eui 19s Indian,
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REPLY.
Thanks In Advance

Most mods are based on Google Camera 5. Thus, they won't install on Marshmallow, because original Google Camera 5 requires Android 7.1.
Afaik latest Google Camera suitable for Android 6 is version 3.2 and it uses only camera api v1.
There may be som mods with decreased min API to allow install newer Google Camera versions on older Android, but I doubt it's going to work.
Btw. portatit mode is not possible on Android 6.0. It requires Android 8.
Hi,
I have been experimenting with different camera apps including gcam and these are my recommendations and pros/cons. Please add your opinions as well and ROM your running. My tests are done via /e/ os android 12.
Best camera app for this phone HDM Camera latest version:
apkmirror.com/apk/hmd-global/
Pros:
-Most stable
-motion and night shots work
-Does not freeze phone or crash and can switch between modes flawlessly
-pictures process quickly
-no need to reboot device ever to fix camera
Cons:
-will not install from app store, must be manually installed
-selfie cam does not work
Best Gcam:
Most stable Gcam I found is Hasli's 8.4: LMC8.4_R15
With custom configs entered for Nokia 6.1, it works really good in comparison to other releases.
celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-hasli/
Pros:
-all the camera modes appear to work
-selfie and back camera work
Cons:
-cannot be installed from app store
-photos take a while to process
-excessive use will crash camera and you would need to reboot device to fix
Update:
New Gcam released and works flawless for this device by bigkaka:
BigKaka: AGC8.4.300_V9.6
Download AGC8.4.300_V9.6 by BigKaka.
www.celsoazevedo.com
Alternative camera:
Libre cam : not many features but works flawless as well for a simple camera on this device.
Plz Help!!!
