[MOD] Z1, Z1C & Z1S 8th Edition - Camera Mod

First of all, I am not responsible for any damage that may have been caused physically to your phone, although I will try to help as best as I can.

IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS READ BELOW INSTEAD OF SPAMMING.

ASK FOR PERMISSION if you use this in any of your work! As I've seen this being stolen a few times Also don't mirror my files without asking!

Read the end of this post for precautions and instructions.


NOTE: If you cannot download the file/files, then use a different browser or device, the links are perfectly fine!

What are the differences between the two edition?
-'Modded Resolution/20MP' edition has the Superior Auto mode modified to take 20.7MP 4:3 photos instead of 8MP 16:9, slightly slower or exactly the same depending on your CPU governor.
-'8MP' edition means that the Superior Auto mode has the default 8MP resolution, still in 16:9.

To-do;
-Enable recording while screen off.
-Possible new entry of 8mp in SA. (Not likely, will need somebody else to do this for me.)
-Increase mic quality.

Installation instructions;

Apparently activating the superuser mod before flashing helps to avoid loose the camera icon! (For older versions, problem is now fixed.)

-Stock or stock based KitKat Xperia Rom
-DEODEXED ROM (.108 is thoroughly tested and is working well except some users have reported that the camera becomes slow after a week or so of usage, a simple remedy is to clear the data stated below.)
(.157 only works with stock, rooted, deodexed Roms, so custom roms have been reported to not work anymore, this presumably is to do with the new USM port that's trending since it only just stopped working.)
-Install Xposed framework; http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer
-Install supseruser mod by Serajr http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.serajr.xperia.xposed.kk (Preferably, use the patched services.jar from; http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z1/general/superuser-mod-collection-request-files-t2859248 and DELETE Serajr's module.)
-Activate module and reboot
-Potentially, wipe cache, dalvik and data for the camera app if you run into any problems. You have to wipe the data for the camera app if there was previous data to enable the options for the framerate in manual mode.
If you haven't used the camera app, do so, so it allows for data to be created otherwise you will end up without the stock camera app.
If this happens, you'll have to reflash everything or some have reported flashing cybershot brings the icon back, so always read the instructions to avoid errors and to avoid extra hassle.
Then flash the desired zip!
(Fixed in v7 and above!)
Apps to wipe data for;
Cameracommon
Cameras
Camera extensions
Camera
com.sonymobile.cameracommon.permission 1.0
Video
Dalvik Cache and Cache partition.
If you ever come across any Sony camera apps not working, uninstall all versions using TitaniumBackup and then re-install from market or reflash the package after wiping data of the apps and clearing tombstones.

Instructions for odexed roms(Test if this works?);
