Moto Z Play camera upgrade - swap from Z2 Play - possible? drivers? - Moto Z Play Questions & Answers

Hi guys, I have damaged camera in my z play. Lens broke after very unfortunate fall, and broken glass damaged my camera. I know replacing camera from other phone shouldn't work but camera parts from Z Play and Z2 Play look almost identical. Both has same size and same pinouts - (photos from one of the most popular china store).
I want to buy two camera parts from Z Play and Z2 Play. If Z2 doesn't work, I will install Z Play camera and sell other. Of course, even if there will be not hardware problem with Z2 part (I hope so ) I will need drivers and modules to make this working. Do you think is possible from the software side?

Umi Z Pro

What do you think about it?
Thin way better cam thank Umi Z.
For now only 249$!
I bought one and hope ROM is better. And i hope it will be a flagship killer, so devs have a look at it and maybe Lineage OS support will be available. But long way to go until it could be reality.
I dont know why you think it will be different than the normal Z. I mean, it is the same hardware (except camera) and it will have the same software...
In just bought another Galaxy S5 off flea bay, $90 no brainer tbh.
So i can use the ROMs for Z on Z pro without any issues?
i dont have umi z or the pro one but i wondered that umi use samsung sensor in umi z really?samsung?didnt use their sensors in their phones!sony i the best company to make good sensors but i dont think that any software will be different in umi z but i hardly suggest umi z pro

You can most likely use the ROM OK but I doubt the camera will work unless its detected on boot to select correct drivers
Still need to see some reviews of the double camera. First Z camera was aggressively promoted as part of
a flagship and we've got a low end device. For me it's okay, but many buyers are disappointed.

We can for sure boot umi z firmware even if we use our kernel. That won't be hard though you'll loose Z pro camera features which is obvious. It won't be hard to fix the camera though add correct lib files and config files and you should be good to go.
But even if we change system we still can get Z pro camera

Moto Z Play worth double the price of Redmi Note 4?

Hi everyone, I'm looking to replace my xperia z3 which is dying and I'm unsure about what I should pick: Moto z play, Redmi note 4 or even Lenovo p2.
I'm looking for big battery (ofc), software, modding, audio, good screen.
Do you think Moto z play (320€) is worth double the price of redmi note 4 (145€)?
Thanks!
Depends on what lte bands you have near you (z supports us bands, redmi and Lenovo does not, I'm sure other countries use these bands), if you want stock software and frequent updates, front facing speakers, if you like Moto mods and swapable back covers, front flash, f2fs, good rom support, etc.
Ofcourse Z Play if between Note 4 and z play.
Z play has better gaming, quality,etc then note 4.
But for P2 and Z Play, P2 has more battery power/backup then z play.
P2 also have more higher specs then Z Play with- 4gb Ram, 64 gb storage.
But i personally prefer Z Play because of Premium look, mods and faster upgrades.(Even both phones are from Lenovo but Z Play will receive more faster Upgrades)
Cheers!?

Will Moto Z Play will get Moto Z2 play Moto Display?

Hi, I liked Moto Display on Z2 play and I'm wondering if Moto Z Play will get Moto Z2 Moto Display features?
Also with Moto Z play update to 7.1.1, did that changed Moto Display to newer version or its still old one?
Old One.

[REQ PORT] [DEV] Moto Z Play 7.1.1 porting.

Hi everyone. I have P2 and Moto Z Play - both phones are great, but I can`t understand - why Moto Z Play with 3500 battery have almost the same battery life, as Lenovo P2 with 5100... Both phones have AMOLED and SD625 on board...
I think the secret is in FW.
I have no unlocked BL in P2 and can`t to try to port this ROM from Z Play to P2.
If anyone want to try - it will be awesome - to have all Moto Experience (Moto Display. Moto Actions) in P2 ))
Even if the rom is ported to Lenovo P2 , Moto display and Moto actions , wont work.
Did you try?

[Question] VR Support in Moto Z2 Play

Recently i've been come across by some cheap VR headset ads for moto z2 play, did anyone ever tried it before? Will it worth buying? I am aware that day dream won't support Z2 Play. Just curious about this VR for watching movies.
