Offical 4.2 AOSP Realese From Sony - Xperia Z General

What's up guys!>>?
Sony Officaly realesed the AOSP 4.2 For developers, Almost everything is now working including sensors, the only problem right now is the NFC; Otherwise, the realese is stable, fast, smooth and pretty much perfect. Let's try it guys and c what we can do...
Currently, the majority of the features on the Xperia Z are working in the pure Android environment. There's SD card support, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and LED light as well as the sensors are all working well. The camera is also working flawlessly, but its code is tested internally at the moment as it requires proprietary binaries that the company can't publish right now.

I think you'll find the camera isn't working - it's only working internally at Sony as it's using their own proprietary binaries. They're not being released at this stage.
Quite why this is, I don't know, as I think Sony have shared their binaries in the past with the FXP and CM teams.

Wrong forum, only post in development forums if you have an actual development, please ask to move this to general or delete it since there already was a post about this in general.

Perfect? Really? How is the camera? Any improvement? Compared to the Galaxy series, sony's camera is far from perfect when you zoom in. Hard to see.

You never use digital zoom. It's pointless since it basically just crops and stretches the image. I don't know why they added a digital zoom in since it only ruins pictures normally

Until now play real racing 3
game work realy good on thes kernel
Update!!!,this kernel runs on ICS ,but with screen glitches and no wifi .
-First,install kernel with flashtools.
-Second,on first boot,open recovery and wipe cache and dalvik.
-Third,reboot system.
My custom rom is Ultimate 3.0.2.
Bb.
After a day of using kernel
It works perfectly
The camera takes good photos
Games such as REAL RACE 3 working on high graphics setting
Game CALL OF DUTY 4 works perfect
Battery time more or less like a kernel of FUSENE
The interface is much more flowing and smooth
I'm never going back to 2.69

Compared with CM10 with FXP kernel. Yes, its low noise level.
After I am now on the Android CM10
And kernel 3.0.8
Sony's camera much better
Less noise
And I say this from experience I work in photography
It's not Canon 5D MARK 2
But still good for Phones

i think SONY camera with cybershot produces better photos.
less noise, much sharper and has a lot more details.
CM10 camera takes bad photos especially on very strong light.

I currently use a camera
Vignette (Without mod
I tried the mod advertise here on camera vignette
It only reduces the image. I threw it from the camera and went back to the original camera Vignette)
When I was on CM9
I used a cyber shot camera.
The camera is now much better
Almost no noise in the photos :laugh:
So, base from your experience, the vignette is the best camera app for cm10?

Is excellent
I use Focus Macro a lot that is to squeeze more sharp from the camera
I was really surprised that photography on CM10
Produces much less noisy images
I think the Wignette software better utilizes the capabilities of CM10 :good:
I didn't know that Camera in CM10 could take this level of photos.
Camera is the main thing that prevented me from using CM10/10.1 as I take a lot of pictures almost everyday. Perhaps 3.0.8 Kernel and CM10 work really good in that department.

I recommend you peace of mind upgrade to cm10
Last year I tried all Rom published here
And always at the beginning are fine
And after a few days they start to be slow
The CM10
With 3.08 kernel so fast all
Most importantly for me all games work perfectly
Although the arc s now is not OVERCLOCK

No X-Reality for our xperia z?

A interview of the engineers behind the xperia zu posted on sony's blog..
What experience does “X-Reality for mobile” offer?
Kosaka: ”X-Reality for mobile” incorporates the knowhow of the super resolution technology “X-Reality,” in Sony’s BRAVIA TVs, into mobile devices.
X-Reality™ for mobile analyzes each image and reproduces lacking pixels to optimize quality for the sharpest videos. It analyzes elements depending on the scene and adjusts them based on pattern, outline and colour composition. It strengthens subtle patterns and accurately portrays their detailed feel, as well as reinforces bold outlines. It also enhances colour composition, vividly reproducing hard-to-display natural colours
You mean “X-Reality for mobile” can recreate the data that was once there?
Kosaka: ”X-Reality for mobile” is based on the “X-Reality,” incorporated into Sony’s BRAVIA TVs. However, it is unrealistic to use the exact same video processing chip found LCD TVs in a smartphone for various reasons such as power consumption. The distance that users view smartphones at also differs significantly from LCD TVs. This is why we developed and incorporated a super resolution processing technology, unique to Sony, that is ideal for smartphones including our new Xperia Z Ultra.
The super resolution processing of “X-Reality for mobile” analyzes videos one frame at a time, estimating and complementing any lost information. At the same time, it combines suitable video processes for each frame and applies them. Such video process patterns are stored in a database, and the most suitable pattern is selected for each various scene from the database and applied, thereby reproducing video quality infinitely closer to the original.
The super resolution technology, which estimates any lost information from videos and restores it by combining various processes, can be said to be a fruit of Sony’s video technologies. Each and every one of the process patterns stored in the database has been created by an internal development team in Sony, operating on high-performance workstations. By storing complex super resolution processing in a database, “X-Reality for mobile” enables you to enjoy high-quality video reproduction real-time that would otherwise take a few days.
With the adoption of the high-performance Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 800 quad-core processor for its CPU and graphic chip, Xperia Z Ultra has made it possible to perform super resolution processing that had been difficult to do thus far.

if sony wants the z to have it the z will have it
its all a question if sony wants
That's true - if sony wants to, they will give it. But there are some facts to be said - the Xperia ZU that is now launching hasn't got the X-reality onboard but will get it with an software update. So for this part is seems that the X-reality is software dependent. Which is a plus in considering that Xperia Z might get it as an software update as well.
Secondly, with the Honami leak of apps I tried a mod with X-reality on my Xperia Z - and you could really see that it worked cuz if you quickly zoomed in on a photo you saw the image getting sharper one area at a time. So as far as I'm conserned - S4 pro chip has no trouble handling X-reality. And I didn't notice any more battery drain than otherwise..
So yes, in my view it's only really a question of if sony wants to give it to Xperia Z.

i agree that it worked but it only worked in images it didnt work at all in videos..theres some super resolution technology used by x-reality for videos which improves the quality besides the normal color sharpness etc stuff

Can you really say that you can see superresolution in videos? I don't think so. But from what I can tell, video looked super awesome with X-reality for me. I saw difference between on/off X-reality. Was it just BME2 behind or was it super resoultion? I don't think that anyone can tell that just by viewing a video because it's not the same as in pictures to see it happening before you.
If I was a Sony executive of anykind, I'd vote for to give Xperia Z/ZL/ZR X-reality even if had to be limited in it's functions just to keep the software among 2013 devices equal (and to stop the hype in media/XDA )

This is what i took out of the article , it clearly states its only "super resolution processing" and that cpus before werent capablepreviously, yeah sure the s800 is 30-40% more powerful, but that still leaves the fact that the s4 is still half capable of processing it, its just whether now they want to implement it in ONLY their new phone, so it looks like a new feature specific to that range is anybodies clue. but thats how i see it , interpretations may differ

Who's faking anything? Dont be a douchebag. Like I said - how can anyone tell if it's doing super resolution in a video or not? The difference that I mentioned previosly was to the overal video and I even said dont know if it was just BME or if it was X-reality.
Besides - 1080p in a 5inch display - who needs super-resolution? If you got a crappy video to watch it's still gonna look crappy.

Hmm how come lenovo camera and lg camera are possible?
timeshift function... could someone explain why is it that important to use? I highly doubt that anyone would be constantly using it after couple of times of shooting vids with it.
First of all is a new feature in smartphones that allows you to make beautiful and funny videos.
Second, it's good that it is a vital function, but if there why not use it?
And third, if the hardware is pretty much the same because they can not have a similar software?
I personally used it several times, although I'm not very happy with the effect it has in low light circumstances and the quality is too low in my opinion.
After searching and searching por an application to, for example do the thing I like in timeshift ( Slow down only part of a video) I found, Android Studio. Of course is not the same but I least I can do that. It will be great to have Timeshift directly, but in the meantime I'm using that. I hope you guys can check it out

Really, Samsung don't have it, LG don't have it either. Or has that changed?
sony wouldnt implement it in its camera firmware anyway, but i was hoping that at least they would include the support for it for 3rd party camera apps, but acordingly to xperia blog, all features are disabled.
This is a shame really, sony ****ed up big time. Galaxy s6 has RAW option, manual focus, manual everything, and all this in the default camera app. You can go even further and use 3rd party apps that have more features.
we cant even get away from the mediocre camera results from sony now, this is sad.
i expect that they implement some of the advanced camera api features from lollipop on Z4, so soon or later it would be ported to z3 series, but this is just a speculation by me.

meh,
because YOU want RAW doesnt't mean other want it, 99% of customers don't care about RAW so don't say stupid things.
Would have been nice to have to play around with and to show off to my iPhone friend . In the end it all depends on your point of view. Compared to smartphone camera a few years ago the Z3c is amazing. I've made some beautiful shots with it. And compared to a "real" camera all smartphones are garbage (except maybe Nokia?).
So for me the camera is perfect. I don't want to make a photography album with my pictures I want to have a quick shooter to capture some memories. And with the auto mode and the dedicated button the Z3c is exactly what I need.
It's frustrating because the camera hardware in the phone isn't being utilized to its full potential. Yes, it's fine for the average user, but for some, and I think many on this forum share this mindset - we try to get the most out of our devices. Not tapping into our camera's full potential is like leaving our device unrooted - it's neutered.

The main difference between the S6 and the Z3 being that the S6 is running Lollipop out of the box, where the Z3 is running Kit Kat. Implementing the Camera2 API is a lot more work than just porting the legacy firmware on Lollipop. That's why all OEMs chose to port their old firmware and stop here.

IMX230 from Sony

Hi,
I have one question:
Is any option to have the camera application from sony? I mean this same like xperia z3?
I think we have to wait until development of roms comes then maybe someone port xperia camera app to a aosp rom or something.
I have a xperia ultra with HybridRom on it and Uncle Lucifer(the developer of the rom) ported camera app to the rom.

Yes, buy a Z3!
the sony camera app is build and copyright by sony! there is no legal way to get this app without buying the sony phones.
The sensor is pretty good, but the software is pretty bad. The sensor is also capable of filming slow motion @ 120fps, but the slomo feature is definitely not filming at 120 - hope there's an alternative to use this feature correctly
