So even after all these years we still don't have RAW compatibility for our phone, and that would help a lot to catch better pictures and use different apps at theyr fullest. Please sign this petition and share it!

Sony will not add this feature even if we collect 1 million signatures.
Let's just sign it and see what happens.
nothing gonna happens
That's so not gonna happen.

(Yes, I know there was another thread on this but it was locked for people going off-topic, focus on the goal people. I think an off-site petition would be better because even if the thread were to get locked people could continue to sign it.)
So pretty much developers could make their own alternative to the Google "Experience" applications, not use them (making the phone... just a phone? Not cool man), we could try and get Google to let developers to continue to use the proprietary apps with a petition, or developers could put themselves in front of a train (aka Google's legal team) and keep releasing builds with the "Experience" apps.
I think the petition is wisest of these ideas, they have worked in the past and perhaps could work now.
I am a lawyer with an idea for a useful Androit app, but I’m too underpowered
(despite playing with AppInventor) to make it myself. Maybe I can inspire a
student, a hobbyist or an entrepreneur to make something like it.
The purpose of the app is to help professional investigators collect
and authenticate evidence with an android device that has two cameras,
one facing out and the other facing the user.
The essential idea: 1. Snap a photo with outward-facing camera. 2.
Launch email and attach the photo to the email. 3. Let user address
email and insert any content. 4. Launch the user-facing camera to
collect video of the user. 5. Provide script for user to say on
video [I <John Doe> hereby authenticate the attached photo of
<describe photo>. The date is . . . and the time is . . . ]. 6.
Attach video to the email and send.
Example of the idea in Zoho Notebook: notebook [dot] zoho [dot] com/nb/public/benwright214/book/376222000000004171
Discussion of the Zoho example: bit [dot] ly/bwpSqC
If someone were to create an app like this, I could explain its value
as a legal investigator’s tool and I could publicize it.
I claim no ownership in the idea. If you make an app, you can sell
it. I just want to tell people about it.
Suggestions welcome.

This wouldn't b that hard to implement only downside is that not many android phones have a front facing camera
I will look into this later today

Given the buzz around things like FaceTime, front cameras are becoming/will become more common in all mobile devices, Android and otherwise. For example, the Samsung Galaxy Tab has a front camera. With front cameras, I can imagine a whole series of business-and-professional-oriented apps . . . in other words, apps people will pay for. I'm happy to share my ideas and refinements for free (no obligation). As a pretty-well-known e-commerce lawyer, I just want to see some apps like this come to life so I can talk about them in the business, legal and investigators' communities.
Hi all,
It is getting to my attention that most Z1 users are displeased with the Unlock Btl Camera issue. I have now created a petition to show how upset we are at their lack of action towards this issue.
There are rumours circulating that Sony already as a fix to the issue, but is reluctant to release it, due to allowing the camera config becoming of public knowledge (therefore other roms being able to copy it), this has not been confirmed or denied, so the petition does not run under this assumption.
I take pride in the camera of my smartphone but I do like to modify my phone as much as possible.
So please I urge you to sign the petition below:
http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/xperia-z1-unlocked-bootloader-issue
If you know of other communities, please spread the word.
The body of the petition can be modified, If I get enough people voting on a better text!

Do you have a source for the underlined bit or is it speculation ?
The above has now been corrected.
I want to bring to Sony's attention that we want the issue resolved and not that we/I believe that Sony doesn't want to fix it.
That's what copyright is for (outside of China), a good way for Sony to make some money if people copy. Like Samsung and Apple feuds

Are you getting a 404 error? Where are you based?

I would guess companies as big as this have patent disputes. But has every year happens Apple and Samsung are always on the court for those, because the money they make from phones, far surpasses the amount spent on courts, therefore making patent disputes irrelevant. I think, if and only if the rumors are true, that Sony is trying to avoid being involved in those.
Very good idea!
Everybody should sign this.
Why is there a donation link with a minimum of $2 in the petition? Don't see the point in it, besides to make money.
Simply ignore it, your petition is alredy there.

Hi Guys,
I am fairly certain that many of you will have been as frustrated as I am about LeEco's response to our requests for the source code for our devices. Many of us have been met with we did not release the phone to the US market so please contact the 3rd Party seller. You and i know that this is an unacceptable stance and in breach of the GNU etc.
I think it's time for all frustrated owners to show LeEco what we think of their stance, and take a stance of our own as many of us have already started to do, and see if we can twist their arm a bit. The best way in my opinion is to hurt the company where it hurts most, and that's in the pocket and in the public eye. I therefore recommend that all users go to their face book account and leave a review of 1 star and explain why. Making sure you also mention our device in the comments section. This is bound to hurt and just over the last day i have seen their review score drop a few points. Now if everyone who signed the petition did this they would likely have a score near 1 out of 5. Which is roughly what I would give their service just now.
I have also been instructed by Lemall.US to email their opensource team a request to release the code which I have done and hope many will take time out to do the same.
Keep in mind we have been treated completely different to the buyers of the CN model who seem to get endless updates. While we get BS!
All of these reviews can be changed in the future if they release the source code and let us be free of their crappy, malware firmware.
Here are the links

Seems to be definitely working, now at 87 one star reviews and certainly LeMall US Team have taken notice, but we must keep the pressure up.
48 hours have now passed and 49 reviews by US X800 Users.
What can we achieve at this rate in the next 48 hours?.
This is awesome considering the Campaign is in its infancy and only went live on a few other sites last night so hopefully it will pick up exponentially over the next few days. Like the petition on change.org did.
We need to try and aim for at least another 63 reviews, so that we equal their 5 star reviews and they will hit the 2.5 rating, but obviously the more the better, so keep on spreading the word.
Still no further news from LeEco since this morning and not so much as an acknowledgement from le.opensource. But i am in communication with them in all channels and not giving up.
I honestly believe we are not far from cracking this.
I will keep everyone updated with any new developments as soon as I hear.
Awesome effort so far guys!
Respect!
Thanks for putting effort into LeEco finally giving us the source code.
Just posted a 1 star review. Currently it seems they are on a 4,0 star average with 772 votes.
We need more votes!
Posted a one star review.
We need more votes!!!
Desmond thank you for the great idea!
.....
Hahaha, leeco is treating it's costumers like we're toddlers ! They removed two threads that i posted on their website http://forum.le.com/us/index.php?forums/technical-discussion.26/
I've got them back from Google cache but i can't post them on their FB because i don't use FB to let people know how touchy this company is.
And such a company tries tol make it in US and Europe, with this attitude they can forget it !
