Port Exciting New Xperia Z5 Camera 2.0 to other Xperia Devices

Are you thinking of the new Xperia Z5, even though being the owner of an older Sony Xperia device? As you know, this handsetAndroid device comes with many new features, but you cannot have it all.

However, the flagship has a new camera 2.0 and even though you, as a Xperia Z1, Z2, Z3 or Z3C owner are still stuck on the old camera app, there is something to do about this aspect.

Team EXR and Team HS made it possible to port the new Xperia Z5 camera port Ver2 on other devices from the popular Xperia Z series. So, before getting to the actual procedure, note that the Camera 2.0 port found below is compatible with the following Sony models: I am talking about the Xperia Z1, Z1C, Z2, Z3, as well as Z3C devices only. Therefore, even if you probably want it so much, do not try it on any other device or variant or you risk bricking the handset that you own.

Then, another requirement is to have the TWRP recovery installed on your device and to be prepared for the worst by making sure you backup all your data. You never know when an accident might happen, so keep your data safe! Then, temporarily deactivate the antivirus protection which might interfere with the guide described below and verify that you have the device’s drivers installed on your PC in order to transfer the file to your phone’s storage with no problems.

And there’s one more aspect that you cannot skip! My advice is to fully charge your device or at least to 60%, as the process of porting the new Xperia Z5 Camera 2.0 to your Xperia handset might take longer than expected.
