Root is not specifically required. If coming from a totally stock phone you'd need to unlock your bootloader and flash a custom recovery, the instructions are good from there.

Most of the core capabilities of stamina mode are already present in ICS, just not particularly user-obvious.

For example, if you go into Settings->Data Usage, you can disable background data for any app. Killing G+ background data has been a miracle for battery on all of my devices.

Hello FXP

You always :cool: :thumbup:

Btw will use new app camera with HDR?

CyanogenMod released New Camera with HDR mode

Ideally we'll figure out how to use the device's native HDR features. The just-released CM HDR is for existing devices that don't have capabilities built in to the sensor/HAL.

Grumble. I was hoping to do some of the early bringup work on this, but it'll probably be mostly done well before I even get a device!

No clue. I really dislike grey market imports, so I get devices late here in this backwards third world country.
And yes, when it comes to mobile, the USA is a backwards third world country.

I'm from Hong Kong and all our mobile phone providers are offering the Xperia Z, reservations only. If you order now you'll get it by end of this month or early next month. All you have to do is pay a deposit of roughly US$39. The whole price is around US$750. They will also include a genuine Sony headset as a gift. OC, they want you to join a service plan (4G) and you will end up paying about US$55 a month for 2 years, with $0 down.

I'm infatuated with the Z but I also want to try a Windows 8 phone (Lumia 920 or SS Galaxy ATIV S). They are also cheaper. But they are only dual-core. Any advice?

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?

What's the name of the Z, like S is nozomi, T is mint etc. Just curious? :)
Edit: It's Yuga isn't it?

    - fastboot reboot
    - enter recovery, on boot led will be violet for 3'', during this period press vol+
    - flash rom zip
    - flash gapps zip
    - wipe

    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...)
