[Q] Exmor R sensor - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone!
I have an Arc S:
- blocked BL
- rooted
- flashed with Xperia_AniKing_v1.0.0_Ice Cream
- baseband: -58
I was watching the official video of the ICS alpha version and I noticed that the camera didn't work like mine.
There are two images from youtube, the Exmor R sensor works very well, in other hand, I can't get any resolution in a room with low ilumination.

Did I lost something during the flash?

No
Exmor R sensor is hardware related, not dependent on the software. So don't worry you didn't lose Exmor R capabilities.
But you will lose Bravia Engine and xLoud beacause they are software related.

You don't lose Bravia and xLoud!

Not in this ROM but ROMs like cyanogenmod don't have Bravia or xLoud.

I have the Bravia engine and xLoud installed.
But it seems that the exmor sensor doesn't work very well. I have to do a comparation with other terminals.

Are you using the Auto mode or manual settings? Try the manual settings you can produce better results.

I was using AutoScene.
I just did a photo with manual setings (+2 exposure) and it's not bad...

Both of those are from the the Sony Xperia Arc and maybe a few other 2011 Sony Ericsson devices. Unless you run across someone here that's a developer and has moved over to the GN from SE, you'll probally be better off asking in a form like the Xperia X10 that has had both xLoud and Bravia ported to it.
Even when the Bravia engine was ported to the Xperia X10, it only worked for viewing pictures in the stock gallery app and xLoud, even though it increased the external speaker volume, was the cause of many blown external speakers.

[Q] Mechanical sound from camera

Hi guys,
It my first time to post a thread. I post here since I cannot find a thread similar to my camera issue so far.
I'm using Arc S and just flashed "FXP208 CM10" to it (started with FXP kernel). And then I flashed the "arc fusion 4.5" kernel (720p with wifi modules). In order to get 720p video recording, I installed a hd camera fix by besttt from there:

cm10 fxp 206 fix root fix video hd camera add panorama
hi iam back i post some improvements for you
the atachment updatet again redownload works only with 206 fxp cm10 kernel the hd video fix

I'm finally able to record 720p video. However, I've found a noticeable mechanical sound come from the camera when starting, closing or switching between camera/video mode. I have reflashed the rom (just keeping the fusion 4.5 kernel) and wiped all data and cache. It's still happened in the original camera app of FXP208 CM10. Is the sound normal? (I haven't noticed this kind of sound at stock ICS rom before)
Thanks!
Yes, there is a sound during focusing, although its nothing to be worried about.

Yes some parts of the lens are moving while focusing and opening/closing the lens. The sound is very loud when opening and closing the camera app also on stock rom. Don´t think this is a problem it´s just normal
Thanks! You all are right. I've checked other xperia phones. They all have this kind of sound.

[MOD][JB] .96 FW>Camera Mod Cyber-shot™ For Xperia S [Multi res, SuperiorAuto]

Ok so since the the .197 leak, and the new .200 leak JB firmwares for Xperia S i kinda whant the Superior Auto the .68 JB leak had and the JB from Xperia T,V,TX and Xperia Z and ZL, but sadly waiting for an official release of our beloved JB for Xperia S developers leave Xperia S aside till then. So i tested the "[MOD][JB] Camera Mod Cyber-shot™ For Xperia T / TX / V "Updated 13-04-2013" " by Rizal Lovins and found out that the Cyber-Shot mods for Xperia T,V,TX and Z,ZL work just fine. And actualy the Z,ZL mod is better. So without further adoo i invite you to flash over the Z,ZL Cyber-Shot mod.
I tested the Z and ZL mod on the Xperia S with the .197 and i can confirm it works fine.
Do it at your own risk!
Improvements besides the best mod given by Rizal
1. It kinda fixes the purple tint (i see the difference, i dont know if you will)
2. Multiresolution 12MP , 9MP, 8MP, 5MP, 2MP(4:3), 2MP(16:9)
3. SuperiorAuto+ witch works superbly (to my surprise)
4. It fixes the Ratio in the frontfaceing camera (now the 16:9 is switched to its real possition)
5. Multiresoluton on the frontfaceing camera 1MP(4:3), 1MP(16:9), VGA(4:3)
6. It fixes the 1080P recording lag (i see the difference, i dont know if you will)
7. Multiresolution video FullHD(16:9), HD(16:9), VGA(4:3), MMS(4:3)
8. Multiresolution video frontfaceing camera HD(16:9), VGA(4:3), MMS(4:3)
9. Its fast and crisp
10. All the mods made by Rizal.
UPDATE: SCRATCH THAT BLA BLA BLA I TESTED IT ON .96 FW AND WORKS LIKE A CHARM ONLY BUG I CAME ACROSS WAS A BIT OF LAYOUT CHANGE AND THE BLACK SCREEN WHEN COMMING BACK FROM ALBUM WITCH BY THE WAY HAS A WORKARROUND JUST SWITCH TO FRONT FACEING CAMERA AND BACK.
Dont forget its a Share.

Already flashed the xperia z mod but havent tested yet to see whats change.
Ill try to test it later and compre to previous stock app from leaked jb
Thank you. Flashed it but I don't think there is any improvement with this mod. Auto Scene still captures pictures with purple tint when flash is on. Quality is stille the same and video recording still lags.
I think theres a bug on xperia z mod, after taking pictures and you look at the picture you took. When you press back button to camera, the screen of the camera is only black. I need to close the camera to recent apps for it to work again.

I'am also experience this sadly though the quality is greatly improved
EDIT: Found a workaround. In Superior auto mode, the bug triggers however if the picture was accessed during normal mode, the bug was not triggered. hope it helps

I just tried a version made specially for 2012 devices. It worked, kinda.
Check this link for my full feedback. I will see what this Z version has of different.
Cybershot force closes after u exit it. thats the funny thing.. i am on existenz rom.. superior auto works fine, but video recorder lags.. everythin looks the same to me, even the camera clarity.. thx anyway to the op for sharing this...

Query regarding Camera

Hi all..., i want to ask a quick question.. can i install camera. apk and other camera extention files From xperia arc s ICS 4.0.4 firmware to my Sony xperia s.??.. because i m rooted and have ICS 4.0.4 installed........ reason to install that camera app is because i previously had sony xperia arc s on which i installed the latest version ics 4.1.B.587 World and trust me the pictures it took were great and a point to be noted that it did very low compression to photos. My generally taken photos size were +2 mb normally 2.5mb and here on my xperia S if i take photos in 12 MP camera mode , the file size is hardly 2 mb while Arc s was 8mp only.......
So i think sony software has high compression for photos which may lead to loss of details when zoomed ..............so what you guys say should we try to install Arc s ics .587 camera apk to our xperia s??
Note: the information above given is true and best to my xperience .... i m not drunk and in my senses so kindly give Appropriate Suggestions

You are right. stock rom with cybershot mod is the best i've ever seen on my acro s. compression under stock without mod is much to high.

Bravia engine does work, but mostly only for viewing photos on the phone, other then that there isnt much need for it.
