Or in other words, the xperia z3 have "The drivers" in order to install the IMX220, or if I want to make this change, I have to modify the Kernel?
Thank you in advance.
I think you would need to write new drivers. Don't think they come with the Z3.

You can, bur you will spend so much time and effort and money to do this, that is much easier and cheaper to buy new phone instead.

Well, I know that it's more easy to buy a new phone, but this summer I'll have too much time
I don't think that it will be too much money and time, I only have to buy a the new camera that cost 20$ aprox.
And with the drivers, I think, "I don't know if I'm right, and this is the reason I create this post", that I only have to uncompress the kernel, find the side where is located the camera driver, and change this part of code for the code that have the Z4.
I repeat, I've never done a modification of the kernel, so I don't know her internal structure, If you say me that It will be very very dificult I won't do it.
The objective is not to improve the camera, is to do something this summer, instead of making android applications
Thank you
I see that all mobile devices use imx074.c driver, is this possible?
I assume even the stock camera app would need changes? Not to mention where would you get the unit, how do you know it will fit/have same connectors?
I'm really interested to know as well, if that's the case then i would be happy to change my camera but I'm pessimistic about the connector and the size of the camera as well. I don't think it won't fit. Is IMX230 the one is GS6?

The chances of it properly fitting with the lens/optics is slim to none. Not even all IMX220 implementations are equal due to different optics, and having a mismatch between the vignetting/distortion corrections for one optical assembly with another cause issues. (See CyanogenMod on the Z3 - using old 4.3 rhine camera blobs causes issues due to the Z3 having slightly different optics.)
The camera HALs are highly proprietary (no source code available) and tuned specifically to each device. Even if you managed to port the kernel side of the camera driver, you'll be missing a device-appropriate HAL stack, and the HAL is where the software "heavy lifting" actually occurs.
Retrofitting an IMX230 like this will be unlikely to work at all, and even if it does work, it'll result in poor image quality due to the HALs for any existing IMX230 implementation not matching what would be found if you retrofitted the sensor into a Z3.
Any news? I'm interested in it too... my project is about a complete new camera starting from the IMX230 sensor. You can find it on aliexpress for 15 usd. Than a MIPI module is required, with hdmi/video out. It doesn't sound too difficult...

The camera problems on the Xperia L are obvious. Do you have any solutions? If you have any work arounds please post them. Also post any bugs you have noticed and the build number or custom roms used. Here are things I've noticed.
Third party apps like Camera MX works better than the Sony camera app. How is that possible?
Problems
Flash does not expose properly in extreme low light (like a poorly lit livingroom)
Anything over 3 feet is horribly out of focus.
Shutter speed to slow to catch any moving subject.
Horrible noise in anything less than bright sunlight.
Possible reasons
Many phones have a macro setting (This enables the focus to limit the focus distance and speed up focus for close and distant objects)
No continous auto focus (that may be the reason moving subjects are never in focus)
Shutter speed too slow (another reason subjects are often out of focus)
Image size in relation to sensor. (the sensor could be too small or placed where heat is a problem) I'm sure users would rather have a smaller image that is clean over a large image that is noisy.
A setting to allow release of shutter even if no focus lock.
I bought this phone over others is because Sony claimed almost no shutter lag and good images in low light. The phone does neither. I love everything else abou this phone. It's light, packed with excellent features and the audio and the phone's reception are excellent. Why Sony is marketing this as a good camera phone is beyond me.
Xperia L stock build 15.0.A.2.17
I am also experiencing such problems. When my phone was on the old firmware, exposure are always accurate and autofocus functions well. Images are crisp and sharp but after going to 15.0.A.2.17 it seems quality became crappy compare to 15.0.A.1.36
Camera Problems
I'ts a smartphone with camera, not a camera with phone features. give it a break, its good enough for social sharing and common use, you know taking family spontaneous pictures or shooting on the go, it wouldn't be wise if try to make my professional shoots with this one instead of my dslr.
do you think guys that sony can fix the shutter delay/lag and image noise via software update?

I don't expect to perform like my DSLR but I do expect it to take a better photo than my 4 yo Sony Xperia X10a. Especially when Sony has sold it as the phone that takes quality photos. I know there is always some hype, it's called marketing. But the phone's photos are horrible. They look worse than a cheapo Chinese knockoff phone.

I paid for it, I'll complain if I want. I didn't get a used phone on ebay. I bought it new and Sony needs to support it's products and be honest in it's advertisement. Marketing is one thing, being deseptive is another. If they want to allow it to be unlocked without voiding the warranty I would flash a different rom. BTW if the camera was even better than average I would give it 5 stars. Great sound, very fast, very good battery life, decient screen, packed with features noise canceling mic, dedicated shutter release, fm radio ETC.

Hello everybody
I just bought the N5 32GB version, but I thought it would be possible to have the S4's camera app on this device since it has more functions than the n5's stock camera app. I woukd also be interesting to have the dual camera function in order to take two pics simultaneously (front and back camera). Playstore don't offer much, or are not comparable with the s4 camera. May you tell me where to download it or if there is a special version for ours n5?
Thanks.

Won't work, uses Samsung's proprietary framework. Some alternatives you can look at include Focal in the play store, and a few developers here are working on an LG G2 port and a Lenovo port. I can't believe how bad the stock camera has gotten which each android update. Google keeps removing settings and customization options. Why in the world do they think the end user only wants to change one setting at a time? I really dislike how the settings close as soon as you make one change.

I don't have an alternative unfortunately. The stock camera app may not have too many features, but it serves all my purposes well.
Snap Camera seems fine, but it doesn't have as much features as S4, unfortunately.
In s3 never Achieved the port. Here I see impossible.
Sorry for my bad english.

CM12 / DRM
My opinion:
- CM12 is too fresh and still partially buggy. You can play with that, but thats IMHO all. Not considered production.
- Unless somebody makes serious effort, forget about official Sony apps. Some are bound to DRM lost in process of unlocking bootloader.
- Camera will work as good as good is the hardware of it. Picture enhancement provided by software is Sony Stock ROM specific and bound to DRM. I have seen some guys working on DRM removal.
- There may be other apps with postprocessing to compensate for Sony postprocessing (low light etc.).

Don't count on them being able to restore lost drm function. I already jumped ship on sony. The unlock was worth it to me since I came from a nexus. Only issue I really have so far is a battery issue I think might pertain to only a few "testers". Also, camera was never great to me... I went n5 > iPhone 6 (just two weeks) > z3. If anything I'll pick up the iPhone 6 again and use it as a weekend phone if I really start kicking myself over the camera.
Is there any info,do we get new camera in Nougat,like a XZ and XP with full manual controls?
while it is mentioned in the latest video posted by sony xperia team, i don't really think it is going to be included for z5 (although our devices are equipped with the same sensor). At least, there's no announcement or indication that it is going to be included.

Just received XZP from SONY store, Out for a small trip today ,take pictures for family, all the pictures are distorted, only the head in the middle is slightly normal, but the body still twisted.
See attachment photos the head around the lens surrounding site all the irregular distorted .
this is not a simple wide-angle distortion but a rare irregular distortion.Try to shoot real person in different angles, the problem will be more serious then the attachment screen take photos , you simply can not choose one normal photos
Is this issue can fix by the update ???
XZS forum are the same problems have been 2 months still no fix !
Now seems the whold world xzp is the same problem, the flat shooting distortion is not the main problem, just for your reference .The main problem is the three-dimensional scene, when shooting three-dimensional scene will enhance the perspective several times, seriously beyond the reach of the human eye perceived acceptance , also seriously beyond the distortion of other mobile phones,The closer result you get will distortion more, No matter how you compose, how to adjust the distance and shooting angle,As long as leaving the center little center area, all will be serious distortion,again seriously beyond the distortion of other mobile phones!see carefully all the picture in all pages from different users , Portrait photography and flat grid shooting.

Yeah, I am guessing faulty unit. I've seen like 7-10 reviews, and not one of those cameras has any issues from what I can tell. First thing I'll be doing when I get mine is snapping some shots to see if it's an issue with mine.
I am one from tieba and have seen the discussions of distortion here. It's ture to believe how sony could rarely make this ****ing mistake! It disappoint me at all. The time for dafa sparing no effort to resolve...

What I meant get the phone replaced and see and when you're getting replaced do your testing and see if the distortion still persists. If it does that means something is wrong with the glass they're using and Sony should be aware of this matter.
