First of all I know that our camera sucks, But after applying some tweaks I Was really surprised that I got pretty detailed pictures, Colours are not that bad too.
Add this to build.prop:
#Image and Video Capture improvements
ro.media.enc.jpeg.quality=100
ro.media.enc.hprof.vid.bps=8000000 (I added this tweak, All others by 216Monster)
ro.media.dec.jpeg.memcap=10000000
Note: I take no credit for these tweaks, All credit goes to 216Monster
The Arc has one of these threads, Why not us?
Oh cool, i gonna try it out tomorrow. Is there something similar to raise the video quality?

Add those lines in the build.prop, I suggest using root explorer to do so. The build.prop is located in the system folder. If you don't know how to use root explorer then you probably shouldn't be messing with the build.prop to begin with
I'm going to upload a video example later. That sucks too.

I have added the lines in build.properties
But could not see any difference in camera performance !!!!??!!!!!

Did you reboot your device, and you will only see a difference when scale them up on to a computer for example.
You can see how bad our Camera is for recording a video here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbqtEX5Jgok
But I'm not sure if there is some tweaks we can do to improve that.
The Xperia Play video camera is not that bad considering it got updated to 720p
Here is my vid I recorded with my Xperia Play
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXEnXh1p98A&feature=plcp
New Tweak to improve video:
ro.media.enc.hprof.vid.bps=8000000
Again add to build.prop, I've noticed a slight improvement, But lighting is a little difference since last.

I have tried to push several gallery apps and they all have the same look, I really hate the stock SG3 gallery app, what I would like is to have the same look as the gallery 3d version. I have tried quick pic, and its nice but I don't like the new look I really enjoyed the old 3d look. Anyone have any luck trying to get it installed, I can't get the gallery 3d apk to install. Thanks for the help
This thread delivers! Both of these recommendations are lightyears better than the included gallery. Thanks. Never really knew that I had such a problem with the gallery.
Hello guys!
After trying and trying to get cdma stock rom working on gsm I realized that it was impossible LOL.
So I decided to start a new project instead: I called it the "Pure Stock Project".
It is a rom based on. 79 firmware, modded by me to look like cdma.
Let me know what you guys think, and if I should release it, screenshots in attachment!

The only thing is that some semc apps use a button reference in the SemcGenericUxpRes, with a white text color, so in apps like dialer text is sometimes hard to see in some buttons

gaming on GB is always good, ram depends on your kernel, 720p kernel on GB is recommended (or doomkernel)

Actually, I tought of implementing ADJ tweaks and adrenobooster v0.7 by default, since it's still a stock rom, not an AOSP rom like cm7
In other words, I've changed most of the png's in the framework-res.apk (hard work lol), systemui.apk, most of the app to match cdma's icons, and other changes that I don't remember, so I don't think it should be easily used as a base rom

For Me, Stock Camera is better. Focal is still in beta and buggy. Hope the dev team will fix that soon.
Focal used to be included on JellyBean CMs. It's buggy as hell.
Besides default CM11 camera is good enough, with quality almost matching Samsung's camera... the only downside is the slow camera preview.

The Camera app has just been updated on my Z5 .. unfortunately, I forgot to take a screenshot of the changelog (but mostly it seemed to be about the UI and Superior Auto seems to be improved). EDIT: see @schecter7's post directly below mine for the changelog!
Looking at it, the UI was changed the same as how it was supposed to look like based on the promo videos and demo units from before. Sadly, there is no manual shutter speed yet as far as I can see, manual focus, and still cannot change ISO when shooting at 20MP/23MP mode.
We all know thought that Sony tends to have 'hidden' changes to their algorithm whenever they have these kinds of updates as evidenced from updates before. I'm still waiting for the complete changelog from XperiaBlog but so haven't time yet to do any extensive testing.
Did you notice any significant changes in yours apart from the UI changes?
Changelog attached
Edit: Now we could swipe to change modes, added another (third) screenshot.

Limitet manual , no iso at 20-23 mp
Low light photo blure decreased
Left blure rest with no change
I installed the update and I've noticed that the problem with noise in low-light... in fact ingeneral is a bit better. It's still not as good as the galaxy line as far as crispness / saturation, but I don't think that's Sony's goal. For real, if I could install the Samsung camera app and libraries on this phone, I'd be all over that. Anyway it does seem to have improved, noticeably.

Trying not to speak too soon as I've not done anything near a comprehensive test but there do seem to be improvements in processing, though not as marked as I had expected. The one biggie is the zoom: to my eyes, the processing on the zoom is much better now; the sharpening fringing on edges is much smaller, which means that it's less of an oil painting mess when you crop the zoomed image. And that's in low indoor light.
8MP generally seems sharper.
More to follow.
On the interface, I note that they've hidden the exposure and colour adjustments on SA in a menu (boo!) but given a button to switch them off when you want to return to auto (yay!) swings and roundabouts but generally pleased.
EDIT: Yep, definitely better digital zoom. Good enough to piece together small text (Just about legibly) at 5x. Trust me: it was not doing that before!

So still no manual shutter speed in this update?
I thought that this would be a given since the Z5 supports manual features now, or don't they?
Is it possible to control the shutter speed with 3rd party apps? What's the resolution and the shutter speed range? Is it actually working or does the system override the manual settings?
