Hello,
Deep in my mind I still remember how my Xperia S was amazing with taking pictures on stock rom.
Than i got kk, and now 5.1 nAOSP from mickybart.
So i wonder is there any port of camera that brings back the vivid and sharp photos?
The nAOSP camera is "ok" but it lacks options, no hdr etc. and it have sooo much problems with focus.
So i thought that someone may know how to improve it.
I srearched over crossdevices xperia thread but not much I foung for android 5.0+ there ;/.
Any help ??
My Xperia is still in the drawer [emoji15] . Well I used Lenovo'S Super Camera (can't remember full name) but it is ported on XDA.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706891&page=1
This port is for Android 4.x and above. I think I stopped using it due to the startup time [emoji20]
Try the Google Camera from the play store if you'd like the android stock look [emoji1]
For android 5.x I'd recommend the HTC port. I haven't tested it on the xps but works great on s5 and works on all Android 5 builds as it doesn't use the new camera2 api

I've extracted it from my device - install camera first and then if it fails then install service pack then camera then gallery. The files only work for ANDROID 5.
My personal experience is with the Lenovo Camera and it is far better than AOSP stock. I've never tried HTC on the XPS but it is hundred times better than the Stock Camera on my S5 due to the manual exposure settings and quick snaps. Some modes like panorama and bokeh don't work they require the HTC Camera chip (omnivision device)
Is there a way to have the stock camera on nAOSP ? It would be perfect !!!
The general consensus for this phone seems to be that it sports top-of-the-range photographic hardware but is sadly let down by poor software support and Sony's aggressive noise-reduction algorithms. As this is a software issue, it may be possible that enhanced image quality could be obtained using third party apps. So far I have noticed some differences between apps and thought we could maintain a list of some of the best here:
- Camera FV-5 Supports 23MP but seems a little unstable on the Z5C with FC issues on some camera features
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flavionet.android.camera.pro&hl=en_GB
- A Better Camera: 23MP support plus "DRO - Dynamic Range optimization"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.almalence.opencam
- HTC Camera: 23 MP support
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/htc-co...-camera-new-8-10-748210-android-apk-download/
- ICS+ 1.7: full resolution supported
https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&s...Ts4WT4m0RHMx-2a1Q&sig2=A-U3oWedOs0SxvoUmzIwHg
- Cyanogenmod camera: Third party supporting full resolution on Z5 Compact. Slightly buggy on our phones but shows that it can be done! *edit - not working on MM
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/cyanog...a-2-0-005-04864afef4-00-android-apk-download/
- Camera Super Pixel: Takes burst photos can combines them into higher than native resolutions composites. On the Z5C camera it can achieve 32MP rear camera and 20 MP front camera!

Please post any apps you find with enhanced functionality over Xperia stock
Here is my test of the Super Pixel Camera - definite improvement over stock front camera, although still getting thrashed by Sony post-edits:

(5MP Stock Xxperia camera on the right, 20MP Super Pixel Camera on the left)
Sorry about the horrible "selphy" photo but the difference was most noticeable on the rear camera!
looks good, but i cant install the app from the market.

The apk is attached in the Op of that thread.
BTW this app makes way better photos. But really only flattens the image, doesn't really get higher detail. I'll take it over my textured and fuzzy stock camera though!
Hi, I'm one of the developers of the app. New version is compatible with Sony Xperia Z5:

Hi, thanks for testing. Not sure why it is not available on your devices, maybe some problem on Google Play.
I have attached is a screenshot of the Sony devices supported on my Google Play Developer Console, maybe some model is missing...

I'm sure it's something to do with the servers not updating yet. I see were checked off in the right spots for the compact! Thanks for the app BTW, it's nice!

Thanks for the info. Some users reported that "Camera Super Pixel" app does not start correctly after the Android 6.0 update on Sony Xperia Z5. We are working to find the problem as soon as possible.
Ah ok, thanks for the information

Balls, cheers for the heads up - I'll change the OP
I'm currently playing with open camera with API 2.0. So far it works but i haven't really compared to stock yet. I have noticed the camera button, the first press for focus causes a never ending focus loop... But tapping the screen works fine.
I had used "A Better Camera" with my previous phone for a while. It can perform "Dynamic Range Optimization" automatically after each photo is taken. The night mode is pretty good as well.
Ofcourse the issue is that Sony has not provided a FULL camera2 api implementation so you are limited. I sometimes still use ABC, when I'm taking a still, however it is quite slow compared to the native app with just starting and taking photos.
I use Cameringo+. I guess it was the best I've used with Z1 Compact and it kinda stayed with me. Truth is that the Z5 Compact camera is much much better. So I don't think I need live filters anymore.

So Is there way to remove the blocking of full camera resolution on z5c for 3th party apps?
Since Sony's stock camera is bounded to it's framework, it's almost impossible to port the camera app to non Sony phones.
Have any developers thought of making a 3rd party camera app with similar Sony Camera UI (and features if possible) ?
I've used some version of GCAM for a while now i found worked with all three cameras decently enough but i got to it trough trial and error and now that i am flashing a newer ROM i would like to upgrade GCAM too anyways.
So what do you guys use and/or recommend?
It doesnt have to be GCAM specifically but its the only one i found to have enough features while remaining simple.
I would have loved to use Simple Camera or the GrapheneOS Camera but i paid for all three cameras imma use all three lol.
I think I could also configure any GCAM version to work with this phone but i am not sure its possible or how to.
Love yall
Here is GCam thread for this phone.
