JB Camera Development/Discussion

Hey since the galaxy w got working camera (only photo)
I wanted to tell you/ show you the problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1972018
HTML:
Note for devs: In Jelly bean frameworks/av(formerly it was in base)/media/libmedia/mediaplayer.cpp setaudiostreamtype(int type) to setaudiostreamtype(audio_stream_type_t type), so overload this function and cast this argument every where to int. This makes libseccameraadaptor.so to load (at least for me)
So I wanted to start tis thread like in ICS

I know that galaxy w is very similar, but does it have this same camera chipset? I'm not a dev but if i can help, just say. If you need to find some information or do smth i have experience with custom roms.

C'mon guys.
Arco and Ivendor said they are working on it. So patience please.
Have a look -> https://github.com/arco/android_ven...mmit/50ab1001f9db6906128811dfcc90bed9b481ba3c
Thats Ancora(W) But as always arco will apply it to Ariesve too.

hypnos17 you repeat the same in every thread when someone ask about camera. It start to be a trolling....

The camera of the I9000 is the same as the one in the I9001 and they got it al working. So why dont the devs look at that? (just an idea)

Arco is working on camera for kernel 3.0
https://github.com/arco/samsung-kernel-msm7x30/pull/2#issuecomment-9811985

I think this thread is not bad at all. For ICS we did the same, and i think our Devs will need help with logs and tests. This time with a JB Rom and a 3.0.48 kernel. But the way to a working cam will be the same.

Correct me if i am wrong, but i think he works for camera on kernel 3.0.x on ICS not JB.

yes, sorry, i do not check where do lock reindirecting. now I'm wrong.
however, hope that thread will be helpful..waiting

Simple question - drivers for camera will work on kernel 3.1.1, etc, etc. or we need to write another for new 3.x kernel?

I don't know. I need 4 logcats:
*2 From DoomNEXUSv2 (becaus it use 2.6.x kernel)
*2 From CM10 by camcory (it use 3.x kernel)
On each rom 2 because i need logcats from 2 apps:
*Stock Camera
*Pudding Camera or Camera360
Simply run app and if it no FC press photo button (even if screen is dark, without preview), than close app.
After that we will know a bit more why it doesn't work.

I bet that libcamera.so doesnt get loaded @ all roms.

This is my first time doing log cats so correct me if I'm wrong. I opened alogcat and pressed the play button. Then I exit and use pudding camera, I clicked the snapshot button and exit and back to alogcat and I pressed the play button. This log cat is taken from pacman ROM which is also running kernel 3.0x

Is camera HAL compiling for us? I asked iattilagy(guy, who got working camera on galaxy w aokp jb) and he asked me this question

Have taken a look at the logcat.
Camera HAL not loaded, is the first thing that has to be taken care of. Just like at the beginning of camera development for ICS.
However, first step should be a working HAL, otherwise we won´t see, which libs are needed and which other stuff produces errors.

Google Now will not work (It's still JB on P500... don't expect miracles). I'm using the Slim Gapps addon and everything works from there.

Check out the Google Code Page. Basically the same bugs you would expect in a JB rom on P500...

I was waiting for this ROM
You just read my mind popdog
Downloading and testing...
- A biiiiiig camera bug (color banding)
- OI file manager forces close
- Sometimes after unlocking screen is devided in 2 similar parts(fixed after locking and unlocking again)

Indeed there is color banding on camera preview but it is not present in the photos.
OI File Manager works on my end...

normal camera has bugs and video recording doesn't work but iirc that's a cm10 bug, panorama and normal camera works fine using camera ICS+
the keyboard is a little laggy, other than that I haven't find any other bug, oi file manager works fine here, also, the brightness slide on status bar works fine here.
awesome work, popdog, looking forward for updates

Rashed's gapps work normally (just normal bugs)

hi popdog i gotta say that you are a great developer and i have one request
if you could port and the slimics rom since now we have omx libs it will a great port rom
here's a thread of that rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1536783 maybe it will help you in some way

Well... that looks great and would be a great idea, but the sources are nowhere to be found...

Omx patch included?.
Edit-just checked that omx patch not included.

Wow
This is a great start

Popdog you are the man!!! I been looking forward to someone grabbing this and porting it to our devices!! So I will hunt down the ICS sources if possible, I think our device has hit its limits, unless you can pull some good old popdog magic. I have a friend running this rom on his SIII and its just brilliant really :good:

[Q] Better camera app for AOSP?

I tried using a modified AOSP camera app here. It gave me the same quality video that the stock one that came with cm10 did. Does anyone know of a camera app that can record anything higher than 17mbps video, since everything that moves is pixelated when viewed on a computer. Thanks
*EDIT* I tried HX camera mod, and after a flash, my phone gets frozen at the gs3 logo.

I never run CM but one I linked to is the N5 AOSP 4.4 camera with increased FPS. I would think it would work on any AOSP base. Shouldn't work on TW but it does. I'm running it on TW with stock app just pulled from Nexus 5. No port. One you were trying to use was ported to International S3. They are talking about putting the 4.4 camera app in the playstore. Don't know what else you could do. That would be bad CM code if AOSP camera don't work.

Should i install the kitkat camera app that was pulled from the source?

That is what I have. Works fine on TW. The one I linked to is that same KitKat camera app with FPS and resolution hacks.

After installing the app and then flashing the file, still gets stuck on gs3 logo. I could try editing the medix_profiles.xml for the app. Will report back

Wipe Dalvik and cache before flash. May be bad updater scripts for your device. I would try manual install with root explorer or move into a flashable TW or CM zip.

Need to try to install the original Kit Kat camera and Gallery. If get to work then try to add the mod to it. He only supplies the modded files and not the apps.

I dont think its ever going to work with cm, maybe its the roms fault that it isn't compatible. When i edit the media_profiles.xml, i see no difference. Maybe i didnt modify the right part. Can anyone help with this?

[rom] cm-11.0 unofficial

Thread is dead...
I thought I would be nice and share the builds I've been compiling for myself. I will try to make a new build when something new comes up. I'm only compiling this ROM, not developing it so please, give all the credit to the many real developers out there that make fun stuff like this for us to play with. Having said that, please no add this or fix that.
Flashing Instructions:
USE LATEST CWM RECOVERY
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Format System
Flash ROM
Flash 4.4 Gapps http://www.androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=7988
Reboot
Enjoy!
*To use the search feature in the dialer you must flash these KANGED gapps:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=9592
It is recommended that you flash the regular PA Gapps first, boot up, then reboot to recovery and flash the KANGED gapps over top
**Dirty Flashing (Flashing without wiping data) is not recommended**
As for the current build:
SD card working, using invisiblek's old roomservice.xml
Front and Rear Camera Working using the 4.3 camera for now
Includes the kitkat camera, front and rear cameras working
Basics like phone, sms, mms are all working

I believe I saw in the other thread that we have to use CWM to flash and can't use TWRP... is that still the case? I prefer and use TWRP, so changing really isn't desired.

Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

just ran a few camera test and all seems great. pics are pretty good. sms and mms work for me. i reverted back to delvik because ART seems to mess up some apps (Tibu for instance) and personally i see no difference in performance. i have been running this ( 11/12 build) since it dropped and don't see a reason to change. EVERYTHING works.
