[MOD][SHARE] improve camera quality - Sony Cross-Device General

Hi all, I've found this thread by @Gabboxxx a while ago in xperia sp general forum when I was rooting my sisters sp, and I found out this modification also works on xperia z all firmware, all ROMs.
It even works on my wife's galaxy s3 so I assume it will work on all phones, on all ROMs and firmware's.
So I thought I just share with you all!
Improvements are minimal but it's perfect for those who running custom ROMs like CyanogenMod/AOSP and don't like camera quality.

Sony Beginning to Upgrade Many ICS Xperia Devices This Week

With so many Xperia devices getting ICS, isn't there a chance we might use them to get an "official" ICS ROM for our older Xperia X10?
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/sony-beginning-to-upgrade-many-ics-xperia-devices-this-week/
No hope for x10
Superman™
No chance!
but hey; Jerpelea, our hero!!, has made a cm9 ROM for us.
Greets Maik
@iridaki or colossus please close this Thread
not a chance ...
I took a look at some device's forum then I realized there is no more poor development runing than x10
look at hd2 forum it's as active as always
This is a question answered multiple times throughout the X10 forums.
Sony will not upgrade the X10 to ICS.
They have given it 2 major Android version updates (2.1 and 2.3) and it is an old model.
Granted, it is still decent and all, but life goes on.

Xperia Z's Successor Sony Xperia i1 "Honami"

Hello Everyone!
I don't know if you guys have been reading much but have you guys seen Xperia Z's successor Sony Honami? I was reading about it latest leaked specs and release date, and i must say its promising I never got my hands on a Xperia Z so i'm not sure what experience users have with it? Could you guys share your experience? Also you can visit the link and share your thoughts about the Sony Xperia i1 "Honami"
Already covered..being discussed in the latest pages of the thread below

[Request] Z1 to Z Ultra Guide

As we all know, the Xperia Z1 and Z Ultra are "almost" the same when it comes to hardware and therefore roms; in an effort to promote more cross platform development (eg. Porting Z1 roms to Z Ultra) could a Dev please outline ALL differences between the two devices? (specifically, which libs/apks etc must be replaced for a rom to be ported)
For example, I would love to try out some of the Z1 roms and have "cooked" (@dsixda kitchen) 2 or 3 of them but only have about a 20% success rate with booting.
I think I've got build.prop changes and updater/update script changes all under control, as would most who would be using this info - so I think a list of "what to change over from Z1 version ZU version" may be a good place to start
Thanks in advance and hope this is a useful thread for others too.
(Moderators; apologies and please move if posted in wrong area - I understand posts here should be for multiple device projects, but I didn't feel this thread was relevant in either single device forum & would be more at home here)

A post to say goodbye...

So, my fellow galaxy users, i am officially leaving the S3 threads after i bought myself an xperia z2...
I do feel like i have to say thanks to everyone who helped me in any way, be it via answering my questions, or by making roms...
I have to specifically thank @Lord Boeffla for his kernels... I must admit that his kernels were the only ones i used while i was using my S3, both at android jelly bean and at Kitkat... And to be honest, i havent seen such a detailed work even at the xperia z2 threads so far...
So, farewell my dear friends, i do hope that i will meet you some day again in the future

[Announcement]9th Circle of Development is recruiting new members !

INTRODUCTION​Do you want a rom which will be more stable, faster with better battery life than a stock?
You don't believe it's possible?
I proved otherwise.
First of all, if you are not familiar with my work, then you should check this thread.
MAIN IDEA​Since a Concept ROM was leaked , I saw a great potential in it.
It's clean ,stable and very fast.
But unfortunately I don't own Z3, so I decided to port it to my Z Ultra.
I did it, but it wasn't enough, so I started to make it better.
But why only Z Ultra users should enjoy it,right?
If I ported it to Z Ultra , I think it can be ported to other Xperia Devices, but I can't do it in my own, that's why I am building a TEAM.
WHY DO YOU WANT IT?​
If you like custom roms, but the only one you see are CM based with same bugs.
Stock ROM is not fast enough for you.
You want some crazy themes, which can make your UI really dark, which is not possible in stock.
You want to keep some OEM apps and at the same time, you want a clean android.
You want to be a part of project, which will bring Sony Development to the new level.
HOW I SEE IT IN THE FUTURE?​My primary goal is to bring this project for as many Xperia devices as possible.
We will make rom more interesting by: adding futures from CM roms, making our own themes, which can completely change the look of UI, Ideally we can make an app, like layers, but it will be part of the rom and more...
Theoretically it's possible to make an LB version in the future. At least for ZU and Z3.
WHAT I CAN DO?​
I have experience in following fields:
Porting ROM and APPS
Kernel development
Working with smali codes
Some programming skills, which are developing.
WHO DO I NEED?​
Developers (Roms, kernels)
Designers and theme makers ( logos, themes)
Testers (who are willing to do experiments and don't afraid to that)
Someone good with Smali coding
BASIC REQUIREMENTS:​
Good English skills
Be nice and friendly
What'sApp messenger
Ability to work in a team
FOR FUTURE USERS:​You can speed up process by making a donation. All the money will be used for buying new devices.
I WANT TO JOIN!​Click me.

Nice idea RXS bro @Uncle Lucifer
But you know we RXS MoonBreakers are already in ^^
Cheers from me the CEO [The 1st Leader] of RXS
Time to revolution the Sony Xperia Development.
I can be a tester for Xperia Z2 but if you teach me I can make all the possible development because I love this, I love XDA and what this awesome people make for all!
I confess, I would love the opportunity to learn to make development, ROMs and kernels, if you give me the chance I will be eternally grateful and indebted to XDA to give them a little more love this great world called Android.
I would be able to test your rom for the Z5 Premium dual sim model. Let me know if you need help with testing for this model
@Uncle Lucifer I have made a similar rom for xperia u but the biggest question for me is to what point should the rom represent stock features, I mean what to be included and what not from home,dialer,media apps,media apps,small apps etc....
I'd be happy to test on z3 with locked bl

@Uncle Lucifer great concept buddy!! I was already searching for something like this. I can help u in rom development and will agree to test for Xperia Z1... Cant wait to start the project!!
Regards
Akash
Ready to join!
Thank you for showing interest in project.
The main goal right now is to assemble a team, then we gonna start to make a plans for future.
I will create group as soon as will have more people and look at all of your applications, but please if it's not hard than write in which part of developing are most interested: kernels, porting, testing, design and etc.
I can test it for Xperia Z1.
Tester for the most notorious Z3+ xD
Im Happy to be a Tester for Xperia ZL, New in android Development, having a hard time in flashing my deodex app that was deodex in joeldroid batch deodex, since i dont know the right update script. Learned from tutorials, that why i build my own rom, which is more from customize the UI rather than the additional functions. But willing to become a tester mostly for ported apps since Lp was the last update for us
Your project is very ambitious, I already like it.
I hope that it will go far !
If you need tester for Z3 Compact, I would be happy to help you !
I haven't a lot of skill in developpement, but I can tinker some software stuff.
If I am not taken, I hope that you will make for us some good roms! =)
I would like to join you too, I can become a tester and grow up time by time to be other roles.
Finally!
I am also a glorius user of my z3 and would like to help.
I have small experiences at building/porting kernels and roms,
and my z3 is ready to test everything.
Hope this will bring future to our superb sony phones.
greetings^^
I'm interested in testing; I have the Xperia Z, and just like most users of this phone, I'm looking forward to new ideas.

Many Z3 users here ^^
I the CEO of RXS have also a Z3 (June not anymore, probarly Xperia X or Xperia X Performance)
We have a lot of testers, but need more devs.
Testers are welcome.
And guys, don't worry.
I am planning to do both LP and MM versions.
So if you didn't officialy receive MM, you still gonna have ROM.
Some info about concept base:
Even LP version, is more like MM than any LP rom.
So, there is no big difference between LP an MM versions.
And that's good for those who have old phones, like me. Nothing to jealous about.
I will make porting easy as possible.
Those who want to add support for their device need to find a more or less stable base. AOSP. I will make the convertable package, and also kernel is required. We can try to use my sources, by adding new defconfigs. Or experiment with existing ones.
So, in theory to start porting to new devices, we need:
Find base rom
Flash my package.
Make it boot
Then adjust it by replacing hardware libs, from stock roms and others.
It's possible.
And when we will have more devices, we gonna add stuff. And that stuff will be universal, so we can work together on it.
I already did advanced power menu, themes support and multi DPI.
