me too!
Xperia 10

So I deinstalled it and tried to new install the latest version , but this also failed .

edit: Jolla camera works fine with both cameras, and 16:9 or 4:3 can be selected. But not pixel resolution .

XA2, only front camera works. Main one shows black screen, sometimes artefacts blinks after I switch from front camera or change resolution.

Also F5321, viewfinder shows image from main camera only for a brief moment, then goes black, front camera works.
0.9.5-1.1.1 update still broken. Any news on that issue? AC was one of the best SFOS apps, next to PureMaps. A pity it doesn’t work anymore. sp when SFOS in general lacks good apps.

Idem for XA2 plus dual sim

Still not possible to install Advanced Camera on Xperia 10 / SFOS 4.3.0.12 !

Question to the devs: can it be that some library is missing, that Advanced Camera needs, and that can be downloaded from OpenRepos or Chum?

#8

same on volla phone, the preview is blinking, but advanced camera does not bellong to jolla right ?
the stock camera works for me

Yes, as I know, Advanced Camera is not from Jolla but from piggz. But I hope that Piggz also reads here and maybe he has a solution or more information for us.

It would really be very fine to use this wonderful Advanced Camera also on 4.3.0.12 or future 4.4 system

+1 for XA2. I know it’s a pretty old bug report, but there is strength in numbers.

#11

I miss Advanced Camera too, it was the best. Since the latest two updates main camera performes badly on my XA2+. If I want to take a decent picture, I have to take my old ipad mini with me, not very convenient.

#12

An update released a few days ago on Chum finally made it work with main camera on the XA2 Ultra.

Works perfect on Xperia 10 ! The bug on switching between the main and front cam is fixed. Thank you very much @piggz !

Confiming too for XA2
Thanks a lot @piggz!
I arrived to SFOS after it stopped working.
First time I can try it.
It’s really nice.

If I may suggest (but I think it’d be done if possible):
Raw pictures would be great!
This to be able to adjust compression and sharpening.

Thanks for headsup, last update fixed AC here too (Xperia XC)

#17

Working again. Thanks so much @piggz Was worth a donation.

#18

Now, the new question, besides RAW picture is
How to replace the default Camera App when screen is locked?
Indeed, the “before unlock” picture function is very useful.

I imagine that would probably have to be a patch

BTW, the gallery is not indexing the advanced cam folder on the sd-card. At least not out of the box.
