Sorry to ask this question here but it didnt feel right to make a new thread for it, With CM on sony devices what sort of functionality do we loose? im coming from sgs2 so my experiance was that the camera and audio wasnt as good as a stock rom. I couldnt find any details on this on the freexperia site, if this is answered somewhere could you point me in the right direction :)

Thanks and sorry for the noob question in a dev section.

Some features wont be as good because of the OEM's not giving the developer community with the latest source codes and drivers..ROM development will be faster and the overall quality of the ROM will be great if they provide the latest updates..Blame samsung for the bad experience in custom ROM's.. I guess with Sony, that is not the case.they have been very good with the developer community and also were the OEM of the year!!

    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...)
