Google camera mod? - Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers

Hello there.
Is there any google camera mod for this device ?

We need to enable the Camera2 API first, or else the app will just FC. For this we need root, and for that we need TWRP and a working DRM fix. Patience is a virtue.

No compatible gcam?

Companion can't update you're phone because Bootloader is unlocked...
Any other suggestions? ?

Video Fron and Back works but not photo.

Video Camera works.

Unlocking bootloader compromises camera, has for years with Sony phones. You lost your DRM keys when you unlocked it.

Any news on this? Anyone succeeded using google cam app on this phone? What if I change the system?

Gcam needs one of my custom ROMs + GAPPS
Because gcam needs RAW and stock doesn't provide RAW
The custom ROM camera is still under construction

I have only a xz2.
Night shot works, but we still need the next OEM update there.

You mean the original thread? There are several people in there saying it took over and replaced their stock camera app and some who ended up with both this and the stock app together. It seems to vary by handset/Android version/ROM. There was no-one in the thread who had tried it with a Z1. I did read it or I wouldn't have asked the question...
The last post in the thread is August i.e. before the Z1 came out.
Does this allow to change have the standard resolution as 20MP? The default app always starting with auto mode and 8MP makes me not want to buy this phone.
I have both camera apps working on my phone (Stock and photosphere)

Camera problem

Hi everyone
I'm visitor of xda forum for 6 years, but this is first time that I decided to write or ask something.
I have problem with camera of my Xperia z3+. I can't record hd videos, because when I try to record my phone freeze, and also focus doesn't work when I take photos for near object. I have tried everything in settings, but not success. I have tried also to repair my phone with Xperia companion from PC, and surprisingly it works, but unfortunately only for some days (maybe one week). After that same story. Again doesn't work. Don't ask me to call or to send the phone to Sony company because it doesn't exist in my country. What do you suggest guys? To flash new rom? Lineage? Or other official stock roms, even though I have tried to flash official 7.1.1 US version.
Sorry for my English, and thank you.

did you backup your DRM keys? if not, they are lost forever, that's why your camera have problem focusing, x-reality stops working and so on. flashing new roms will not solve your problem.
you need to flash kernel with DRM fix.

What will happen when unlock bootloader

Hello, what will happen when unlock bootloader? Anybody tried this on XZ2?
Most likely the same thing that happens on all Sony devices, loss of DRM license and some camera functionality. I won't be unlocking it.
I will be unlocking mine the first min I boot it up.
Android phone without root? Lol.

Let us know what happens to DRM keys. Hopefully it's not wiped but I seriously doubt that. Root is what is keeping me from changing my XZ.

How about camera

Probably the same as the XZP; green pictures.
The real answer is nothing. Sony devices seem to drag on development... More than others in my experience. As tempting as it is, I won't so it until I can fake or backup the DRM keys.
I'm running out of reasons to root anyway.
Also, You will lose Ps4 remote play and you lose X-reality Engine
There will be a DRM patch as for all the previous Xperia devices...

I can agree with you, phone is not bloated, it is snapy, plenty of space so for me for now i go with good adblocker ?
And later after full root solved i will flash it ?
Sony is very good lately

Oh, i never had one before and the DRM delete by unlock **** and the touch bug scared me hard

So I can't give it back.

You can't open it but you can flash it.
To open it, you need the "unSIN" program at the moment.
I think the flashtool will get an update in the future.

Did you actually try taking pics even if the camera were black or did you just assume it didn't work?
Because Open Camera does work taking awesome pics with even if the screen is black.
