Note that XZ2c is not working yet. We started on adjusting builds for it, as we did earlier for XZ3. See progress at https://github.com/sailfishos-sony-tama/main/issues/38

As for camera, it is not going to be ever as good as on stock. At least I don't expect it. Development of the camera functionality for AOSP is around kernel 4.14 which is linked to android 10. To get an idea of what's going on, see https://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...0-0r1-t3975009

In context of SFOS, 4.14 camera development is not possible to carry over to Linux 4.9 that we use now. I hope to be able to just bump kernel version with new blobs for 4.14. If it fails, we will have to make new port on the basis of AOSP10. Realistically, if it goes that way, its probably autumn 2020.

There are few IFs in these scenarios, as you could see. So, I want people to know what they are getting into. We have risks, but we can try to work around them the best way we can.

You could check out at XDA and ask there whether you will get back camera functionality if you flash AOSP and then return back to stock using stock flasher. As far as I know, if you unlock, you will loose DRM keys. But whether they are needed for camera - I am not sure on newer Xperias. Also, you will loose stock OTA updates, if I understood it correctly.
