I think it isn't the right way to only upgrade to newer Base. This mod needs to real improvements, I mean not only apk and porting libs.

so I have finally set up Linux Windows dualboot, managed to get the intelligent disassembler assambler with arm64 support.

poorly it takes a completely week and i destroyed my windows installation 2 times... So it will take 1 week to set up everything before I can continue development.


Why don't you put the Linux on a virtualbox? :)

Using this on my Z5 with 7.1.1 and patched services.jar
Really stable, the picture saving time is faster on stock, manuals enabled, no fcs,... I am really impressed ?
Bugs i've noticed are no manual shutter speed, 4K option though available in video settings but crashes (have to use 4k in extras).
Keep up the good work ?
Really looking forward to the next release ?

picture saving is of course faster on stock.

Xnext uses JPEG Quality 99,98,97
Sony sets something like 95,90,85 (i really can't remember the exact values now :silly:)

4k... i really hates this feature... i spent hours on make it stable... maybe this was one reason why Sony outsides this feature from normal camera.

Sorry i meant to say faster than stock
4k option is not that important to be in the video settings tho, I mean we're all used to it being a seperate app in the extras menu (but definitely be a welcome sight)
Loving your mod lol

    You will make a another version with Oreo base in future with same feature there only for supported model?
    EDIT: By the way,latest version is so good in quality and features. I miss only Oreo superior auto (ev bar on touch) and iso without open settings in manual. But for the rest, it is awesome! I hope new feaures,more quality and in future Oreo base for xz ,to unlock some features easily (i think) like iso and shutter speed toghether editable like xzs. Quality on this mod is amazing! Thanks for your work @peter.schwake@gmail.com and make this mod awesome! I'm using a xz


    Oreo Versions for XZ will be based on Oreo XZs, but atleast before I make a final decision in this case, I will testing what base is to prefer.


    More quality? Well on the software side I can only do a few things to improve settings. The limit is the max capability of the camera hardware.

    Plans for Update's

    - There will be a Version 5.50 Final for Nougat
    - Next is Oreo ("Version 6") which will initially released with already latest possible base.

    Future Development for Z4 / Z5
    - I will try to upgrading the base to latest nougat (I will take a fresh stock apk, rewrite than from Zero, with documentation)
    - Finally if I implement a new feature to Oreo base, I will try to add the same one for Nougat Z4/Z5.

    So the development will getting slower for Z4/Z5, but of course I won't drop the support completely.

    RCv2.5

    - Apk seems ready - Testing already

    - Media Profiles and Codec config is in a fine tune process

    - MF works nice

    - Rewrote Bitmaps to aRGB 8888, but it is not complete ( over 6000 Smali Files and I have to find all media process related files, check them and maybe modify them )

    - Shutter Speed still not working

    RCv2.5 will be provided as Updater and as complete Version.

    Bug fixes will be developed fast as possible, but RCv3.0 will be needing more time than updates before. Since unlock is done, focus will be set up to improve quality.

    And least but most important : I will test and fine tune RCv2.5, until it is really ready.

    What about Xnet camera for Xz?


    My friend, you can call it 'under active development' again. :eek:

    And Xnext WalkMan... I don't know how many hours I already put in this project. But I am never totally happy with it :laugh:
