Does anyone knows how to bring in excellent sony Album app?
I had it on my previous xperia 1.
In mark 3 it is missing... What a shame!
They replaced it with horrible and ugly google stock crap...that does not have half of the functions sony Album app had like to hide the pictures etc.
Why sony is constantly degrading its software from features that worked great??? Whatever they do with software, their obsession on software degradation, constant feature / functions removal is not acceptable!
I am not able to find sony album in Google Play.
Any working .apk?
Please help!

OMG! I hope it will work. I cannot live without this app. Without it xperia does not exist for me. Thank you for hint
I agree! No problem
I just downloaded it and it works!!!
Can't understand why sony, company claiming they focus on photography removed this brilliant app! It is working on my mark 3. I am so happy now
Can someone provide feedback to sony to bring it back to xperia line please? This is a must and iconic sony app. This app builds their brand. Some devs did a great job developing this app.
Here you go. There is a whole topic here on XDA
[APP][4.4+] Latest Sony Album 9.9.A.0.20 (Updated 9 March 2021)

I never used it much, I find 3rd party Gallery apps are better to be honest. I did miss the Sony email app but found that. Will give the Album app another whirl...
In the latest revision of sony album app they broke rotate function. In upper right corner behind 3 dots there was possibility to rotate the picture but it is no longer there. Apart from that it still works great
but the sony album cannot perform edit photo right ? like brush, crop ...still need third part ?

The XPERIA Arc camera app was created for a different set of camera hardware. The Arc has Sony's touted 'Exmor R' CMOS sensor and a different lense where both perform better in low-light conditions than whatever SE smart phone before it.
I would think the app itself and whatever drivers it might require would need to be changed in some way to make it work with the X10. And even if someone were to get something like this working, the differences in hardware would make the end result taken pictures look pretty much like whatever came out of the X10's stock camera app anyway.

Unless there was a dramatic difference in picture quality and general functionality, I don't think the fancier user interface of the Arc's stock camera would be enough to get the XDA devs to even try porting it over for the X10.
I want the stock xperia arc camera interface ported to my xperia x10 too! Just the interface.
I'm coming from a Sony Ericsson X10, and now I'm a very proud owner of my SGS2.
But when I had my X10, there was a FANTASTIC Sony Ericsson camera apk called "Panorama".
It was possible to take beautiful panoramic pictures in only one second ! No need to take many pictures, no need to stich, it was absolutely amazing !
I searched Android market, but there is nothing like this app, and all the other panoramic camera have really crappy results
So I wonder if one dev could mod (hack ) the Sony Ericsson apk, and compil something that we would be able to use on our SGS2
See this apk in attachment
In the camera app, have you tried clicking on settings - Shooting Mode - Panorama?
I have taken some pretty good panoramas using the stock camera
PS I like your Mu Mu Van!
As j4d said stock camera has panorama function, no need for any hacks.

So someone mentioned to me of the "snapshot" feature in the ICS camera.
Feature being when you are recording Hi-Res you would be able to tap the screen a photo would be taken of that frame.
It is also mentioned here
For new flexibility and convenience while shooting video, you can now take snapshots at full video resolution just by tapping the screen as video continues to record.

Samsung-Flavored Ice Cream Sandwich for GALAXY S II
In charge of the GALAXY S II ICS upgrade, JiYong Oh says applying the Samsung UI was the main feature of this upgrade.
A few functions have been added. In addition to Face Unlock, Snapshot, Image Editor, a data usage monitoring application has been added as well for efficient data usage management. Also ‘Android Beam’ was added, for convenient sharing of web pages, applications, contacts, etc through NFC.

Now, in the roms ive test (LPQ,LP7,LP2,LP3) this feature isnt present. I was under the assumption that samsung skinned the ICS camera so expected this feature to be present.
is it possible to get this "ICS" camera onto our SGS2's? as a feature of ICS i dont see why this would be left out
You could try Camera ICS in the Play Store. I don't know if the snapshot function works because I'm on an AOSP 4.0 ROM and video recording doesn't work yet.
Searching the store didn't bring it up so here's the link.

Ive tried that, and it doesnt have the feature either...
the only thing i can find is an app made by sony called frame grabber
but its a paid for feature that SHOULD be in ICS - this is what bothers me

Query:
My Xperia Z Ultra (C6802) received the update notification for Movies and Video Unlimited, when on Android 4.3.3, but I didnt install it, as my 4.4.2 update was also released at the same time. Post installing my KitKat, the update for Movies and Video Unlimited is no longer available. Anyone facing the same issue?
Guys, just seconds ago, I found, that there's the (from what I guess) new photo pro app from xperia 1 III is available here apkmirror.com
I tried to install and it worked!
Not able to take a screenshot as it's forbidden by system (not really necessary, sony). It has the new basic mode, that was shown on press release.
What are the differences with the mark II version? Difference in image quality or options?
From my guess, what sony is going to archive in future models, is to combine the normal and the pro-app, so there would be no need to develop and maintain two different apps - that saves money for them.
The linked app is already combined, some settings are slightly different insinde the pro-modes. You can switch to effects from basic-mode. I'm going to try to abandon the normal app and see, if the new one misses anything.
Thanks for posting that. I've tried it and it's great except that I normally open photo Pro in manual mode but this new app defaults to the basic camera app so you then have to change it to the camera pro app yourself. A small thing but just one more step that we didn't have previously when the two were separate apps. I see no setting to change how it opens by default so if anyone else does...
On a positive note, I may be imagining a slight thing but I think quality has maybe improved fractionally. To be specific, everyone has raved about this phone taking RAW files that you can develop yourself ( even though I think most flagship phones do now ) but I have always found that indoor shots with this phone in RAW always require a tripod which means you are just as well getting your real camera out. The ISO has to be low otherwise there is so much noise that even tools in lightroom struggle to fix it. But I think I see less noise now in handheld shutter speeds in low light.
But thanks to OP for spotting this app & bringing it to our attention.
BTW, how does anyone know this is the app from Xperia 1 iii when it's not released yet? Is there information on Sony website?
Many thanks.

I always open the Pro app with a push on the camera button. The new Pro app can be configured to open in Pro mode when pressing the camera button, so it works great for me.
Thanks very much. Ye, I saw you can choose the default in new settings too. I'm enjoying the new app.
Good find. Works well on the Xperia 5II as well.

The is a setting for "Open in last mode used". Since I always use the Pro Mode that works for me.
After installing the APK, can't choose the photo pro as option with camera key.
What I need to do to choose the photo pro as default?
Had to remap power button gesture to use the photo pro app. Camera button does not have photo pro option after installing this APK

That's what I've done too, with button mapper app. Howerver, it does not work when screen is off for my non rooted device. Don't forget to set photopro bypass in button mapper when photopro is active.
Tap tap app is also an interesting option.
For now I removed the update and reverted to the original Pro app.

So the old PRO app was not able to be used wiht the front camera, right?
Is there a way how to downgrade to original Photo Pro w/o root? I fear the answer is no.
It seems this upgrade broke eye AF at least on 70mm camera. All pictures of my wife and daughter focused on eye are out of focus. . Also manual object tracking seems not to work at all.

Yes, it's easy. Go to settings, apps. Find the Photo Pro app in the list, click on it. From the menu, choose "remove updates". That's it.
