It's not just HDR, the whole camera software is reason enough to skip CM on this device.
Or can we expect the stock camera app to be soon available from within a CM clone?

CM is not a clone, and your post is useless trolling that should find a better place in /dev/null.
This is not the thread to discuss your reasons to install custom roms or not, if you are not interested, why not wait until august to get 4.2 roms from sony ?
I have the device for a couple of days and while pretty usable, the hardware deserves more.

Why does the hardware deserve more? Is the stock sony rom really that laggy?

CM allows much higher level of customisation, i.e. I don't like how icons look, I didn't find how to add gps on/off switch to status bar switches and I changed the launcher right away as original is very limited..
Frankly I would prefer a MIUI rom, as I'm quite used to it.

You clearly misunderstood, I am a CM fan and have had all my phones modded with CM.

Love the fact it will be available on this phone; was merely pointing out that as the sony camera is custom HW and as we know CM does not support it, it would be great to see someone porting it to a CM clone (that's right, CM is not a clone, but there are CM clones out there-read the post). Otherwise you have to admit CM cam software will cripple the cam and might be a dealbreaker for some.

Having said that, you are right, my post does not belong to this thread and neither do the posts I replied to.

Regards.

I think you mean "unofficial" and not "clone". No biggie though.

One future "request": Make an option to set the power button as a power shutter in the camera app so we can take pictures using the power button. The Galaxy Note (that I have) has this feature, and it would be perfect for the Z.

Note: I have no idea if this build already has this feature. If it does have it, ignore me.

You're in the wrong forum. Go to the X10i section here at XDA. Also, I'll bet an arm and a leg that there's no CM10.1 for the X10i, but you're welcome to search for it.

There's already cm10.1 for X10 but still alpha.

    So, camera as of right now (I'm calling it a night at this point...)

    It now starts up. Preview works, still pictures work.

    However a bunch of issues remain:
    Video recording does not work
    Flash does not work
    Preview freezes after taking a picture until you exit and enter cam app or switch between front/back cams
    Camera icon does not appear in launcher (but you can access cam from lockscreen)

    Still quite a bit to go, but it's significant progress.

    hi.

    im thinking of buying a sony xperia z, but im a cyanogenmod lover. i've been reading about this phone and i have some doubts. and sorry if this is not the appropriate place to ask this, but, im very interested in this rom in case i get the phone.

    i found out that to b able to customize the phone i need to get boot loader unlocked. but that will make me lose bravia engine and FOTA. FOTA is the official sony updates on the rom correct? or is the firmware for something else? even with a custom rom will i need to flash the firmware updates of sony? is there a way to get bravia engine back? does bravia engine 2 makes a diference?

    are there any major known bugs on this rom using CM10.1 (camera, bluetooth, wifi...)?

    thanks in advance

    FOTA is Sony's equivalent of the recovery partition - it just means you can't update your firmware over-the-air. You can still update using FlashTool and an FTF file, or flashing something in CWM.

    Yeah, you'll lose BE2 but I really never saw it as having much of a point...

    Also, one of the CM maintainers (arcee) gave us a great hint of a potentially much easier way to get camera working. If this works it'll be a lot easier than what Steve (cyanogen) did. :)

    The camera issue is basically common to CM10.1 on every single Qualcomm MSM8960 and APQ8064 device that is currently shipping with 4.1 - The Nexus 4 Adreno (GPU) blobs were compiled against one version of gralloc_priv.h, the cam HALs in Android 4.1 of basically every Krait device were compiled against a different version. It turns out, though, that the specific fields the camera uses and those the Nexus GPU blobs care about don't overlap - and all of the other fields are only used in internal compiled code.

    Specifically, cam cares about fd, size, and offset. Adreno blobs care about gpuaddr and maybe some other things - but not fd, size, or offset.

    So we use a custom gralloc_priv.h header that reorders some elements, specifically moving bufferType (which is only used by compiled code and not by any of the blobs) previous to size/offset, so that size/offset are now 4 bytes down from where they were, matching the cam HAL but without moving gpuaddr and breaking the adreno blobs.

    If this works, it's much easier than using IDA to hack Sony's cam blobs, asking Sony to recompile (I'm sure they would be willing to, but might encounter issues with laywers for Qcom-origin code...), or rebasing our kernel up to the latest CAF stuff so we can use QDevNet Adreno blobs (which won't be a magic bullet any more anyway...)
