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:

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.

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

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.
List of Bugs & Errors in Latest FW 6.2.B.1.96
this can help all other DEV's
Bugs/Problems noted in JB 6.2.B.1.96
Logitech Unifying USB 2.4GHz mouse/keyboard still don't work. No error, just don't work (Worked in ICS)
HDMI 16:9 HW accelerated movie (720p mkv[H.264,AC3]) is displayed on a monitor/TV as 4:3 with no way to change the aspect to 16:9 tested with BSPlayer and MXPlayer Pro.
If set as Software Encoded the screen aspect can be set correctly, BUT the movie is no longer lag free and using SW encoding we see frames dropped to keep pace..
If the HDMI video setting is set to 'fine' a HW accelerated (Uses GPU to accelerate FPS) 16:9 aspect ratio video will only be displayed as 4:3 aspect ratio.
If the HDMI video setting is set to 'standard' a HW accelerated video can be displayed as 16:9 on an external monitor/TV.
Fixed since JB 6.2.B.0.211

didnt face any bugs yet,but the movement in video camera is bit slow compared to ics.to see it just move your hand fast.I noticed that its better when image stabilization is off,but still slow,no effects in the output though.very good update from SONY
bugs fixed for me since .200 update:
laggy hd video
bad performance
lags in high quality full hd movies
---------- Post added at 11:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 AM ----------
not a big issue,but the illumination doesn't blink as before during a incoming call
I got a bug when I started the camera a green screen showed up and when I pressed the home button the phone restarted..
It's great update!
Full HD recording fixed, 2G working really fine - I don't remember working this way before. Volume up and screen not lighting up should be fixed too as users said.
It's really cool update! :laugh:

Since version .200 there is no 3D Sweep Panorama function!!
Thought they would fix it with this version but...
Is it even legal to delete features?? i mean its even stated on the package that this device has 3D sweep panorama function!!
ps: video recording is still not so smooth like it was in ICS..
and that spinning world live wallpaper is missing but there is one called nexus..lol

I don't know if its legal or not, but it's terrible that SONY remove cool features like 3d sweep. That is simply wrong and speaks badly of the company, oh and btw i'm still on ICS because it's lag free and scroll is even smoother and it has 3d sweep ... For me everything works as expected in ICS thats why i choose ICS instead of JB

Yes 1080 video recording is still jerking sometimes..........also it takes too much time to focus object which is ruinning my video
^^ thanks for your comments.
Can someone please check if the fps in 1080p recording are now 29/30 like in ICS and not 18fps anymore?
if not im going back to ics...
thanks
The new picture effects they added very laggy.. why would they add that if not properly functioning...
I use SwiftKey and upon reboot this firmware (since JB actually) doesn't remember to keep it as the default keyboard and always goes back to the Xperia one. However, I also have Google keyboard installed and it will remember that one upon reboot. So maybe it's a Swiftkey specific issue with the S's JB firmwares?
i just checked it myself.
1080p recording is now in 24fps.
on version 200 and 211 it was 18fps.
in ICS it was 29 fps.
can someone confirm please?

My Opinion? I'm really disappointed of the camera quality of this phone. In general.
My old Arc S (with stock ROM) takes better photos in the same condition of this z1c (with stock ROM). And I'm refer to the "same condition"...(rooted but not unlocked bootloader, stock ROM, same enviroment's light or dark, same subject).
I love Sony and their philosophy on mobile phones and camera sensor, but this bionz sensor (best mobile camera of 2014) isn't really best for me.
So, to answer your question, I didn't notice differences between stock lollipop 5.1.1 sony camera and this update 2.0.
Only better UI, that is great on usability of app. But, by my tests, no change on quality or shot speed.
I flash this update because the new UI it's better, and thanks very much to developers that make this port possible :good::good:.
At last, I will say something obvious, but the best camera quality of this phone was with Jelly Bean 4.3. Bad to say, but in my experience it is, clearly It's just my opinion
This porting have some problem with noise? The other portings of z5 camera in my xperia z2 (expecially in front camera) produce some noise in image.
