Has anyone been able to install the latest camera app from the XZ2?
I tried it on my unrooted XZP, but it can't install.
I wonder if the image quality would improve with it, since the camera hardware is supposed to be identical.
Here's a link to the app https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/sony-.../sony-camera-2-1-a-0-31-android-apk-download/
Also, apart from rooting, is there a way to force the install this app on unrooted device?

Is the full firmware available yet? Probably just a signature problem

What you need need to first is rename the app to standard com.sonyericsson.android.camera.apk you have to be rooted.

Disable the stock Sony camera app
SemcCameraUI-jniLibs64-xxhdpi-release/
Rename the apk .bak or something Android doesn't parse upon boot.

Create the folder com.sonyericsson.android.camera/
Place the app inside then reboot that should replace the camera with the new one.

Thanks for a guide, maybe someone with rooted phone will be able to try it out.
Is there a way to modify this new app without rooting the phone? Changing its "signature" to work with older devices? Some kind of .apk editor or something? Or do you need the full firmware dump with camera drivers and everything?

I'll do this if you can give me a more in depth guide. I'm not very familiar with android's file structure
