CyanogenMod 10.1 offers enhanced camera for Sony XPERIA phones

Already a few weeks ago, the Internet came about that in the CyanogenMod 10.1 will soon be a new feature for the camera with which the XDA developers forum helped herself Sony Mobile. CM10.1 to Sony

XPERIA phones now offer significantly improved camera, which includes such as image stabilization, adjustable ISO, a selection of the many scenes or even HDR mode.It used to be a weakness of most camera Cyanogen ROM for Sony Xperia phones, but this has now past and will in the future it should all work correctly. For me great praise for the producer, but also for developers. Discussion on CM 10.1 Please also be directed to the previously established theme, but I wanted to highlight these innovations in a separate post. With the camera now works perfectly and Sony XPERIA T in combination with a new unofficial Android 4.2.2 pedals great. Of course, the new camera features not directly related to the quality of the acquired images, in this respect, I will try as soon as your article to add a real photo. Additional functions but certainly delight and although I had previously been rather opposed CyanogenMod, I'm becoming a big fan slowly bearing on the fact that the ROM to Sony XPERIA his profoundly finally approaching those available for the best phones from competition. Clean and very well skinnable Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean just something to be a pretty sorry that this ROM is not yet available for the model Sony XPERIA SP. If it were otherwise, I would probably be the bearer of this ROM, therefore if it will work correctly with LED strip below the display. That is getting off topic but today's article. How do you like the new environment of the camera?.

There is also a Small Application available for Touch Block to easily enable the feature. Sony may only be making this app available to water resistant handsets, although we�ll have to wait and see.

Sony Honami system dump reveals new UI and imaging specs

a few days ago the system dump for Sony�s new flagship, codenamed Honami, was leaked. The leak came from a Canadian carrier device with model number C6906. We can�t say for sure that the C6906 model number definitely relates to Honami, but if it�s not then it is another device in the same generation. Well, as you can guess, it didn�t take too long for the system dump to be analysed in detail and reveal a number of hidden secrets about the handset.

First of all:a number of strings in the build.prop have revealed some key specs for the handset. This includes :

Snapdragon 800 chipset, the ability to capture 20MP photos (resolution of 5248 x 3936) with a new Super Resolution algorithm set and record video at 4K (4000 x 2000) with aspect ratio of 2:1. Other camera features include ISO up to 12800 as well as a Steadyshot mode.
Other new imaging features includes Timeshift burst (glorified burst mode) which allows you to shift back and forth in time to enjoy and share the best moment. Sony has also created a camera API allowing the ability to add functions to the camera app called �Xperia camera add-ons�. Additionally, see some new camera icons below (from left to right): Bokeh, Info-eye, Manual, Socialcast, Timeshift and Effect mode.



Sony is also planning to release a new Augmented Reality app, with some screenshots mode. The third picture shows a number of different Augmented Reality modes.

A new app is Info-eye, the visual search app based on kooaba. The Info Eye app will have a new UX for Sony Xperia devices. We imagine this is something similar to Nokia�s HERE City Lens app, giving you information about the places you visit and the objects around you. Tap the question mark icon for capture tips. This is the app that was seen in yesterday�s Honami render leak.

Music Unlimited integration in Walkman has been a long requested feature and it looks like this will be included too.

The icing on the cake is that along with all of the above new features, Honami will also come with a new user interface. See some of the images below which show the new launcher, app tray, Walkman app and new apps for clock, album, conversations, phonebook, settings, calendar. A new version of Small Apps allows you to place multiple apps in the screen at once.
