Thanks to the XDA user jimRnor, the port works well on all Xperia devices with 20.7MP camera, but it is not free from bugs. For example, the front camera force closes when turn to manual mode from superior Auto mode and then turn to superior Auto mode that may fix in the coming update, so stay tuned to the thread.
