Improving camera photos on touch pro 2 - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi.
I was wondering if there is a way to improve the camera on the touch pro 2 or to make the photos taken with the camera to look better.
I used to have a sony ericsson W650 walkman (walkman is specialized in music) with 2 MPX, i installed the cam drivers of the -also 2 MPX- sony erisccon k550 cybershot (cybershot is specialized in camera), and the photos i took with the new driver had more quality.
So...what do you think ??
Maybe with he drivers of Diamond 2 or Touch HD (both with 5MPX cameras) ?
I still dont know if it works.
Any other idea ??
I appreciate any help
Thanks

That I would like to know too

X2 WVGA video record port to X1?

Alot of X2 features have been ported to the X1. Is it possible to implement WVGA video recording from the X2 to the X1? They have the same processor and other similarities. Would this issue be a hardware only type thing, like would we need a 8mpx camera or can we port the X2 camera software from a rom dump to R3A Camera app for the X1. Also @ X2 users how is the WVGA playback on the X2.
They have the same hardware and wvga is 800x480,way under the camera resolution on x1 so theoretically it should be possible to port. I think the software issue is the real problem.

Ya I was thinking the same thing, besides some cosmetic changes and the 8mpx camera their pretty much the same phone. Hopefully this thread will catch the interest of some people that might now to how accomplish this task. So far most of the X2 features have been ported to the X1 maybe this to(fingers crossed).
Well,i've seen a x2 camera port around here so as you said, fingers crossed

I actually asked one of my friends that is very familiar with the X2 dump files and he said "x2 has different render and camera so it is a no go".
Well the x1 camera is made by htc and the x2 is made by sony i think,its the one found on w995 and c905. But, can you please ask your friend if part of the render is compatible with the x1 camera render? We only neew a small part of it to modify the resolution not anything else.

This is what he said: is impossible to use because
x1 one uses htc Dshow to reneder images (linked to video driver)
x2 one uses q*libraries linked again to video driver and kernel
unless you have full x2 nk.exe and drivers as source i dont think that is possible
i have tried and camera could not render image on screen than crashes even if i have added all deps and registry
also it can be drm dependent (drm is not completly ported / this is why slideview is not fully working)
you are free to try
Well thanks for the info.seems like we wont have x2 video recording resolutin on x1

Why not? Is because of copyright or other technical problems?
I love CM10 but I hate it doesn't have t9 keyboard, the camera miss lot of options, also the video recording is not smooth, 720p resolution is gone, 3d panorama or panorama is not there also least can we take that feature out of it? Also, the CM10 address book is a nightmare, I can't select several contacts and send an sms, or easy edit a contact, this are primary aspects of the phone usage that really makes CM10 a mess, The music player Apollo also is not that great since it don't save the album images, making it show empty photo library almost everytime...
Shouldn't custom Rom make a better Android experience?

Nice list of complaints o.o
And "better android experience" is subjective
If you hate CM, change Roms? It's not that hard

The lastest (Z1 or M) Social Camera is the best suggest for you!
I'd just prefer the Xperia M camera. Unless you have kitkat, try the one below.
Try this one, Google has added some new features. Though I don't know if its compatible for the Xperia S

Best Camera app/strategy for the Z1 Compact???

Hey guys!
I recently bought the Z1 Compact, mainly for the camera and the small size.
Now, I have been going through some content on the web and have come across people reporting against Sony's compression strategy which basically comes to play in the Superior Auto mode in its own camera app (which it does while upsampling or whevever).
Now, I also see some other camera apps on the market like Google's own camera app and Flickr's app and would like to know if there's any difference in image quality between them.
Also, what's the best 'strategy' to take pictures with this phone.. take 8 MP in Superior Auto mode or take full-resolution shots and then compress them via some software on the computer?? (and if yes, which software and how?).
Also, will I see any difference in the camera performance if I install Cyanogenmod on my device.If yes, what sort?
Waiting to hear back
Cheers!

You will see a difference, as CM (and every other AOSP ROM) doesn't have the fine-tuned camera drivers Sony uses. So image quality will be lower.
I use Google Camera for the panorama/photosphere functionalities, and Sony's camera for everything else. On Xposed there is a mod that changes the Superior Auto resolution to the max resolution, you could try that.

[Q] Camera apps that support hardware HDR?

Other than the stock camera, and Google Camera, I've yet to find a single camera application that actually supports the Z1C's HDR camera mode, all applications will take multiple shots and then do software HDR, whereas the camera is capable of doing HDR on its own (or so it seems when I use the first two applications).
Is there a reason why applications that use Software HDR can't just use the hardware version when installed in a device that supports it? Why I can't find other apps that use it?
I am not satisfied with the stock or Google camera, yet I don't want to give up HDR support to switch to something else :/
HDR is not a Hardware feature, in all cameras or Smartphones is a software picture treatment..

I think he means that we have a HDR capable sensor..
Try Camera FV5 .. Someone told me that camera 360 app takes good pics in sony.. try that also..
Is there any reason that the sony cybershot camera apps package included in Sony STOCK ROM 5.0.2 can't be installed with any lollipop ROM....?
I have CM12.... and once MultiROM is available for the Z1c I'll be installing lots of ROMS to try them out but would be good to have Sony's Camera, and Walkman that work across all of them.
Can the Sony camera apps package be extracted from the system SIN file within a SONY STOCK lollipop zip and installed into any ROM...?
The Walkman app works.... I already have it.... just can't seem to find the camera apps anywhere

Stock camera being Sony....? So are you on Stock ROM or have you found somewhere to download the original Sony camera apps package and installed them....? I'm looking everywhere trying to find the apps package with no luck so if you can help that would be awesome,
EDIT:.... I now have Snap... very nice HDR capability but have no idea if it's using the Hardware of the cybershot...?
