Some people like me don't want to flash a new ROM but want all of the latest SE's R3A ROM goodies into our Xperias
I prepared a CAB that will install the newest Sony Ericsson Xperia R3A Camera software to the phone. I have tested it on NAM/UK R2A ROM and works OK !!

UPGRADES:
This is what you get over the current R2A camera software:
  • Auto Flash option
  • GeoTagging

CAB FIXED 01 APR 09, NOW FOR NON-ENGLISH DEVICES TOO

INSTRUCTIONS:
- Downlaod link down

IMPORTANT: FOR NON-ENGLISH USERS, HOW TO MAKE IT WORK:
This is the WWEnglish (0409) camera software, but it can be easily adapted:
- Install the CAB
- Go to /progam files/XperiaCamera/Languages/
- Delete (or rename or move) the old Camera0---.dll
- Take note of the 0--- portion: that's your country/language code
- Rename the new Camera0409.dll to your language code
(eg.: for spanish -> Camera0c0a.dll - Full list of country/language codes in post 19, page 2)

May be a stupid question, but how can I exactly see, if the new camera-app actually runs? I don't see any change (same with the new panel-manager). Is it possible that I have to change some reg-keys in my German ROM (had to do this with the Growing Panel)? Please help me out of this misery :D

My "Xperiance" with the new camera software:

1- yes there's a 0409 DLL in the /program files/XperiaCamera/ folder, try renaming the new one (for spanish is 0c0a) to your country/ language (I posted a full languages codes list on the Youtube app thread)

2- for geotagging, I first updated quickgps, then got a full sat fix with google, and then I tested the camera

@artesea: please test this method and report

I stand corrected. If you change to filename to reflect your country code, it does work.

Auto flash is listed as "Not available" tho. But the geotagging works. So thnx :)

beim klick auf die kamera taste startet die anwendung in /programme/XperiaCamera/...lösch einfach den ordner und guck auf dien handy, weil du dann auch Programm Files/XperiaCamera haben wirst...kopiere diesen in den ordner Programme und dann wird immer diese anwendung gestartet^^...ist leider englisch, obwohl man die eine dll datei in 407 ändert^^

Please remember this is a english forum, many users can't read german !!

I only had access to the english files (Ich weiss !! es tut mir leid...) I am looking for the spanish files too

And yes again the whole foder can be copied manually
The CAB was meant to make things easier for all of us, but it has the stck english files only... I will update the first post with the country/language codes list

The original german camera407.DLL should be deleted manually and then the new camera409.DLL should be renamed to 407 (german)

COUNTRIES/LANGUAGES CODES LIST:

Arabic: 0401
Chinese (simplified): 0804
Chinese (traditional): 0404
Czech: 0405
Danish: 0406
Dutch: 0413
English: 0409 (default)
