Come one... the camera quality should be good enough to be able to do it...
This is one of the features why I was so excited for ICS, why did they break it out? :S
What on Earth does 'no flash' have to do with it ???? its the FRONT camera that gets used !!
I have Face Unlock on my Nexus but to be honest it stayed enabled a day or so as a novelty but is now an unused feature.
Face unlock will be available for Revolver
I've never seen a frontcam flash XD
But my Galaxy will probably get it soon
But my front doesn't work at all anymore? :S
The camera app presents a black screen, and when I try to click on something after thet, it crashes...

Front camera working for me .... did you flash via CWM ? and if so did you then flash the full ICS (minus recovery) OVER THE TOP ?
That seems to clear up a lot of small issues .....
It seems to be the only issue I have so far, everythign else works like a charm...
I just used the update feature in the tab itself...
Edit: The front cam does work when I switch to it in the Ustream app... so I guess it will work in Skype to... I never use it in the camera app anyway

The lack of flash is a problem when it is night or you're in the dark.

lol..... really ??
no what i meant is that there arent many (any?) phones/tablets with a flash on the Front camera so its not an issue with the TF and face unlock ....
like i say though - face unlock on my Nexus is pretty much unused.
Faceunlock is one of the few new options in Android which is actually noticeable. ASUS sucks just like the others.

****ty moment is when you mother's doing poop, if don't want to use FU you JUST don't have to! And you're an idiot, 'cause neither phone has flash at front <facepalm>.

Hi friend, we all know that our Z haven't camera key...
So I thinking to use sensor Proximity to take pictures and that's help's to take underwater picture.
This is theory and I don't know how much real it is... Because. I'm not developer and it's just idea
Waiting to see your opinions and how much realistic.

yes i know this ways i just share my idea..
I don't know if proximity sensor is immune to water, though.
I like the idea, is the only thing I miss from my last phone.
'Wave to snap' sounds good, you'd have to get the sensitivity just right though.
Perhaps ask the creator of cybershot mod. He'd be the best person, who might know what to do.

created, tested
It is good idea. And I have read this thread and decided to try it out. So I just created simple test app with that function, tried it in water and it works. So app now is very unstable, laggy, because I just spent 30 mins on creating it. If anyone want to try, here is the .apk file. If you are interested in this app, you can suggest functions, design and I'll work on it.
UPDATE: Little bugfix + signed
cant install

Thanks. I think that we also need zoom function and toggles for flash/focus/white balance and resolution selection. But it will be added in future, if app will be popular. Also may be front camera function.

It works under sea perfectly. We can take pictures under water without touching and moding keys! Now we need some settings.
I have the current version from the play store and can't even start the app. It immediately force closes.
Is there anything I can do about this other than wait for a newer version?
I'm on 4.2.2 latest firmware with root and locked bootloader.

Glad someone else thought of this, I had been thinking about this for a long time, and previous phones I had used utilised the proximity sensor to control the music, e.g skip forward and back and pause your music, and various other things

Thank you @AGGevorgyan to give this idea the way to coming up
i confirm that working like magic And certainly under water !!
so if you can add some functions on it to work like real hardware camera key !!!
Hold = focus
Hold then raise = take picture
Hold in Album = return to camera not useful because when you take picture you need to satay in camera
If you like this name to app :Aqua Z just inspiration
you can make thread in Xperia Z Themes and Apps
That's why I love XDA!!! You guys kick ass! For those who still worries about official rom, why worry??? You got XDA!

There is some floating bugs causing force close. One of them is related to waking up after sleep when app is running but I don't think, that you talking about that one. So i fixed one bug and hope, that it fixes your case, when you can not start app at all. Please try version 0.0.3 and tell me how it works.

I don't think that we need this, because I using "CONTINUOUS auto focus" mode during preview, so it focusing every moment until you tap to proximity sensor, after tapping IF it is not focused yet, it focusing and taking picture and IF already focused, then taking picture immediately. So focus on hold will not have effect, because it already tries to focus.

Good suggestion. But I think, that name must be self-descriptive, I mean user must understand what about is this app. But Aqua Z is also not bad. I have few ideas about name, so we can create poll
Aqua Z, Z Proximity Sensor, Z Underwater Camera, Xperia Z Water Photo Camera... You can add more variants.

I just got my Moto G today and I'm more then happy with it.
One thing in lacking is the camera and lacking of settings.
I was going though my entire downloaded apps list and came across an app called "Focal" I'd downloaded in the past.
This application is basically a replacement camera app with all the settings that it should of came with already!
Just a heads up if you didn't already know about it

Its hard to say for sure. There is a lot more settings for adjusting the exposure and white balance.
It also adds the ability to add color filters, its in beta right now but its well worth checking out.

Not directly, but since you have more control over the camera, you can make them look better.

Focal is the native CyanogenMod camera, they released it as a standalone app some time ago, for 3rd party camera apps I strongly recommend "A better camera".

Focal isn't CyanogenMod native camera, the Focal developer dropped CM when they became Cyanogen Inc, and since then he works by himself. That's why the app is in the Play Store, he didn't want to stop his work, and instead made it avaible for everybody.

"New icon" and "Bug fixes" nothing great
I feel its much much faster
New Icon, definitely faster focus and no lag.
Only thing that hasn't been fixed is the front facing camera lag in low light
It also appears to be Wear aware. Looks to allow control from my Moto 360.

A new neat feature of this update is that when you're running with the phone in your pocket, it really thinks you want to take a picture and opens up the camera.

I know it was there before, I've actually used it intentionally a few times before. But it never would open up when it was in my pocket. Suddenly after the update it started doing it. Maybe it was just the shorts I was running in, but it had never happened before.

I'm intending to buy a new moto x pure for a relatively cheap price in my country and I've been reading about poor camera so can anyone tell me is it true??
Also I've been reading about the absence of camera2 api and the unability to install manual camera apps is it true??? And wasn't there any update to fix it???and is there anyway to enable it without having to root the phone??
And finally which 3rd party camera apps do you prefer?? And does google camera work fine and are its pictures better than stock app or worse???
Thx in advance
any answers please????

Google Camera is no longer available, it has been pulled from the Play Store... When it was there, it worked fine.
Personally, I use Camera ZOOM FX... not that it is much better than anything else, but I bought it years ago on sale for 25¢, it works quite well, and I am familiar with it. It has a multitude of adjustments, although it is not using the Camera2 API.
The Manual Camera Compatibility app fails on all items it checks, the phone does not support the Camera2 API and unless Moto adds support in Nougat, we likely won't get.
This is not to say that the Moto X doesn't take good pictures... personally I think the picture quality is excellent for a smartphone, far better than most of the other phones in the family except my son's S7 Edge (which has a fantastic camera). The only real drawbacks in my opinion are the stock camera app (which is bad, wish we had the new Moto Camera app, it is much better) and the lack of OIS.

You should find a new professional mode option in the camera mode menu found in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.
If you don't see the option it means that the ro.product.device setting in your build.prop file is not been set to one of the valid device names that will enable professional mode in this modified version of the app.
The list of device name that will enable professional mode in this version of the app are: athene, griffin, addison, clark, osprey, luk, kinzie and otus
From the 5 professional mode settings I discovered that the "Shutter speed" setting does not appear to work the on stock android 6.0.1 and somebody else reported that the "ISO" setting does not appear to work on android 6.0.0, "Manual focus", "White balance" and "Exposure" all appear to work as expected.

I used the mod from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/general/cameramod-t3420739
and the FreeDcam app and my MXP is happily shooting manual/raw. defcomg even created a flat field correction file for the cam sensor. This little camera is producing images that rival those of my Canon 7D.
So I bought a moto x pure few days ago but I've been really busy moving to a new home in the city where I will attend university;
Thx for your help,
About the new phone I like the performance, camera is great but not as great as you would expect a 21mpx camera to be I mean it's sharp but details are Kind of blurry if you zoom in so much and dynamic range is unsatisfactory completed to my brother's Nexus 5x camera!
Best thing about it is the front panel! Front facing camera, screen and speakers (they're so damn loud)
Camera app isn't as bad as I thought but still not so good!
It just needs getting used to coming from my Nexus 5, Google camera was way more comfortable and makes a lot more sense! The only Google camera app that worked for me is the old one I Mean the one from KitKat times! Still a nice alternative with a slightly better color reproduction!
So if you find a way to make camera 2 api work or any better camera app please let me know
