Hi,
I was able to fetch APK file of Camera of Redmi Note 5 Pro, I was not rooted so I wasn't able to fetch library files and odex file.
But still I believe sharing is caring,
And some Devs might find it useful
I tried putting in system/priv-app/MiuiCamera, giving it permission rw-r-r, and after reboot it shows the app but force closes when tapped.
It won't be installed as normal APK ..
So just sharing it, it might help someone
Not Able to upload via XDA labs app, telling me network issue every time. So here is the,

Its never need to be rooted to get system dump . You can always fetch whole system partition through adb .check adb guides,so with any good file explorer ,there is nothing important available at data partition .so don't fool around here .
When you get handson of this device, Someone pls share the setup to replicate pixel/stock android system wide appearence without root.

Bro, Calm Down, Nobody is Fooling you here, I didn't had the device for a longer period of time, so in that little time I was able to fetch camera APK, why I did this? It's because its Version 2 of Miui Camera, older devices uses Version 1, and there is a lot of difference between them.
If the device would have been with me for much longer time I could fetch system dump through ADB or I could have rooted it and fetched everything, but as you know the device hasn't been sold yet, so what I did what I could have done.
Talking about fetching file with file explorer without root, Sorry it's not possible, Redmi Note 5 Pro uses Emulated partitions, so you can't just "SEE" root folders without root.
So keep Calm, and wait for the device to be sold and get it on hands to provide system files, in the little time, I did, what I could.
Thank you.
PS : I'm not Pro's like you guys, still I shared the camera APK having the Nooby Knowledge.

I don't know if they kept camera libs the same as the ones on old devices, but here's the list of the files needed (requires access to /system, so rooted device):
from /system/etc
the folder "device_features"
age_gender_bg
android_model_facea.dat
android_model_faceg.dat
face_goodly_***_***
face_ravishing_***_***
face_splendid_***_***
lf_facerank_model.bin
people_gender.dat
watermark_font_****_****.dat
from /system/priv-app
The folder "MiuiCamera"
If you (or anyone else) can, just try to pack them all together and upload them! That will be very helpful!

Sorry brother, but I have been unable to unlock the bootloader because of this stupid method to unlock BL by Xiaomi. All the Made in India variants are facing 86006 error because of which no one has been able to unlock and root, including me. Bugs have been raised and Xiaomi reported that their developers are working on it.
I hope someone with a rooted device reads this and tries to help.
Is it possible to port redmi note 5 pro's stock camera for other devices, like for redmi note 4?? as it got a good EIS and front portrait mode, will it work on mido??

I had just received a fresh new Galaxy SIII from Asurion and eagerly rooted and flashed my favorite AOSP ROM and found out my camera wasn't working. I search through these forums like a mad man trying to find a solution and I tried EVERYTHING but then I read someone's reply to troubleshooting and I admit I may have been overlooking the wording in some of these guides as to the path of my camera files but I fixed it and I want to share my findings so someone who is having a similar issue can get it fixed too. I'm also going to add the methods that didn't work but may work in other cases.
This fix ultimately replaces bad or missing firmware files. If you haven't tried Odin back to stock, re-rooting, or wiping data and getting a fresh start, I would recommend that first. This is more or less if sh** hits the fan.
THIS IS ONLY FOR THE GALAXY SIII
***MY FIX***
BACKUP ANYTHING IMPORTANT JUST IN CASE
Download this zip https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/91693945/CameraFiles-signed.zip
Flash using Recovery
Wipe Cache & Dalvik (optional)
Fix Permissions
Reboot into Android
Start the camera app and cross your fingers
***MY FIX (Old Way)***
Download any TouchWiz based ROM to your phone or computer.
Unzip the ROM
Goto /system/cameradata and copy all the SlimISP files to your phone.
Goto /data and there should be another SlimISP bin file, copy that but don't mix it up.
Move these to the files to the corresponding areas of your phone.
Check permissions, I granted full access to Root, and User
Start the camera app and cross your fingers
Reboot if it didn't work immediately
I recommend keeping a copy of these on your ExtSD if you have one because you will have to do this if you flash a new ROM.

Same sort of directions also contains files you can download.

Appreciate the guide, hope it helps someone down the road. I'm in the camp that has no issues going back and forth between AOSP 4.3 or TW. I'll add this Rootz link as well which provides some additional information and might be making its way into roms via Github. Seems like as good an opportunity to spread the wealth.

Me too had problem with camera, but it seems like i got fixed it finally... I have a Cubot One MTK6589 with Miui rom. The steps are:
1. http://d-h.st/BKA download this file and flash it. It will install jb camera for your mobile.
2. check it
3. if it works delete the old camera app with titanium backup because if u run the old bad camera app the problem will come back and u have to flash again.
4. install some good camera app like camera awesome because for me the jb camera doesn't detected my front camera.
I hope this will help you!
Will Try

Link fixed, sorry I don't really keep up with this anymore, my bad
fix front camera
work for my mtk device
edit builtprop, open the editor and change or add
hw.cameras=1
ro.camera.dcim=1
explanation
# hw cameras
hw.cameras = 2 (1 only for the Front, 2 for the Front & Back)
# camera DCIM dir. 0: sd only; 1: nand only; 2, sd first
ro.camera.dcim = 1
This is likely to occur due to the use of internal memory is converted into ROM
while the external sdcard memory is converted into internal
hopefully work

flashing didn't work, used servicely and added camera service to hitlist.
can i use it on galaxy core
I just bought a Samsung tab 3v then I successfully rooted it using this: ( www 4shared com/get/4sFqkNODba/ ) but after I did that I could no longer use the camera (error then force close) so I'm asking if anyone could help me with that please? I did few research they said it's something about the kernel so anyone could provide me with one for my phone?
Someone please help me with this? At least provide me with an already rooted rom.

one small tip for future reference.
you should figure out how to fix your phone and have the tools and files on hand before making any modifications.
personally, i never do anything to my phone before thoroughly learning how to fix it, and if i cant find a way, then i dont mod it.
i see all the time on here, people frantic because they broke their phone and dont have a clue how to fix it.
in some cases there is no way to fix it because the files are not available, its really important to know that before you break it.

Didn't you actually 'think' that I already searched for that on Google? Please try to 'think' that if you don't do mistakes you will never learn so yeah not breaking your phone doesn't mean you're smart OR intelligent.

i never implied that you or anyone else wasnt "smart or intelligent"
i have broken my phones many times. the difference between me and a lot of users i see posting here is, i think about what would happen if i do something and it breaks the phone, before i actually do it. then i go and find out how to restore stock, and gather the files and tools first. then i actually restore stock, just so im sure i know how to do it first.
i see and help countless users here on xda, and frequently see people run to flash things they think they have to have right away. frequently that is followed by post pleading for help, because they failed to understand the journey, and chose to jump right to the finish line.
so yes, i agree, not breaking your phone doesnt make you smart or intelligent. knowing how to fix it, and helping others to fix theirs for many years, at minimum should gain those of us who help others a little respect, because we dont get paid to, nor have any obligation to, help anyone.

How come? Posting a Google link is actually helping? Then next time someone asks who's that guy, you tell him Google it. I did come here for a reason, which is finding a developer who can make a prerooted rom for me since it doesn't exist anywhere in the Web.
Anyway I found a solution I will post it here in case someone needed it:
1- Flash the tablet with stock rom (the one of your SM-T116bu) skip to 2 if you already have the stock rom and you only want to root the tablet.
2- Get a file explorer (ES explorer or root explorer).
3- Browse to system/lib and copy the whole lib folder and put it somewhere you can access it later.
4- Flash your tablet using the prerooted SM-T116nu rom (link is above).
5- Using the root explorer replace all files in the system/lib which has a 'camera' word in their name with the same files name from the lib folder of the stock rom, do the same with the files in system/lib/hw6- Reboot your device and the camera should work again.

Thanks, but your method soft bricks (black screen, can't operate the phone at all after booting) the phone until I flash the rooted or the official ROM again. There's no hw6 folder either, just hw and even changing only the lib files with camera in their names will also soft brick the phone.
I found a solution!!!
Restored my phone to the latest official ROM, then flashed the tiny file from the topic below using ODIN.

The solution was so nice that I even made a short video explaining what I did with my Samsung Galaxy Tab E SM-T116BU from Brazil!!
As we have all seen with this latest STOCK G935U [BQD2] Firmware for T-Mobile indeed it runs smooth and personally I have experienced better performance without all those carrier-bloat applications by default. Dating a week ago, I tried to root this build version and for some reason I experienced infinite bootloops after my device boots up. So I did some research as to what system apps could be causing this I still I can't believe that a network-related system application was causing this issue.
I am talking about com.samsung.sprint.chameleon as mentioned by @qwewqa here -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-s7-edge/how-to/4-28-t-mobile-935-firmware-t3597866/page10
I will not go in-depth about what this is but this relates to a network configuration. I will post a reference on this if you guys feel like checking out...

FAST & STABLE ROOT METHOD FOR THE G935U under T-Mobile // S7 EDGE
1 - Download & Flash Via Odin the latest Firmware provided on this post. Thanks to @justda
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-s7-edge/how-to/4-28-t-mobile-935-firmware-t3597866
------------ HERE COMES THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP ON THIS GUIDE ----------
2 - Install Package Disabler Pro from OSPolice. Play Store link ...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ospolice.packagedisablerpro&hl=es
3 - Open the application, activate Device Administrator, just hit next or ok or just follow through the setup and once the apps list loads up look for the system app with the name of: com.samsung.sprint.chameleon. Go ahead clear data and DISABLE it. After you are done disabling this system app, you are now safe and good to follow through the root method below.
4 - I suggest that you use the root.bat file provided by @Quickvic30 on this thread to root your device
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-s7-edge/how-to/heres-how-rooted-nougat-s7-edge-g935t-t3567502
IF YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY BOOTED UP YOUR DEVICE PAST THE SAMSUNG SCREEN WITHOUT ENDING UP IN BOOTLOOPS (Bootloops may occur within 30 seconds after booting up from the Samsung Screen) THATS IT, YOU ARE DONE!
### Post-Root Suggestions ###

Since I don't see any mention of using the engineering kernel should I assume this method does not work for US models?
So basically you take qwewqa's discovery, make no mention of him, then pass it off as your own. Then copy and paste some steps from other people, and submit it as your work?

As referred in the procedure section. The main and original root method goes to the forum thread linked above. As I briefly specified in the background info section, this is just a quick fix in performance and stability when applying root to this build.

I didn't copy nor plagiarize any information from their respective owners. Credits are given, very briefly detailed information on the steps as to the main reason of this thread is just giving the list and proceed with the order of steps to successfully achieve root. The link that I attached in regards to the conflicting system app that where I noticed the issue with other models.
I didn't look into @qwewqa thread comment regarding this, and I apologize and edited to credit him on this finding.
The debloat list provided is extremely aggresive. It removes the stock gallery, stock calender, lock screen wallpaper, stock contacts, Bluetooth, and all google back up services.
Your list is great for the hardcore folks BUT you have to go back through the lost and re-enable the apps and clear the data then re disable them.

Brian,
Thanks for bringing it all together. I am currently rooted on T-Mobile QC1. I wanted to go to the U firmware wanted a tested way to root first.
Pat
Thank you kindly. Going to try this out right now
gonna give this a try, Any kernel tweak recommendations? how smooth/fast is it or does it lag like a bunch
any fix for the finger print sensor?
Im think the eng is conflicting with a app killing the fingerprint sensor

Hey Pat,
In fact there is a way to root the U Firmware and achieve functionality and administration. All thanks to their devs for their work

As a matter of fact, the root.bat from @Quickvic30 does all the jobs needed. I strongly suggest running his method. No L Speed, no Kernel Adiutor. Just Titanium Backup to freeze/uninstall bloatware.

I tried to use this method but my phone won't let me change permissions. It pops up with a message that says "changing permissions was not successful. Please note that some file systems do not allow permission changes." Is there something special I need to do to enable permission changes?
Also I am using root browser to do this.

I also had that problem too. Just extract the libs and overwrite them in /system/lib and /lib64, then change the permissions to rw-r--r--. Apparently, it only worked after overwriting the files.
Well although I planned to unlock bootloader after a few months I decided to grab the opportunity when unlock page started working and with the ultimatum by Huawei about providing unlock codes, but ever since I unlocked and fixed multiple boot loops I noticed few apps and features are now missing such as
HiFi Huawei sounds in Settings is gone
Unable to change or apply themes
smart remote Control is now gone,
Phone no longer stay awake while looking at it
There might be more stuff missing which I haven't noticed
I mean it feels absurd I just unlocked bootloader why are these stuffs missing this makes no sense to me, all I did is installed twrp, installed magisk no modules nothing, in fact, my favorite mods are giving boot loops anyway but that aside I do need the above things back please help out a friend, anyone else faced this ?
I have a theory like Miui had a "region" option and apps changes according to regions set. So does something like this happens in EMUI as well, I don't remember exactly but I believe I set region/language as the UK while completing the setup, if so how can I change it back(PS: I live in India)
or its the side effect of root perhaps?

Wow well I expected a better response from the community or some response for sure.. Well turns out these all apks were in data partition, so they got removed when phone storage was formatted, makes sense now
Extracted the apks and pushed them myself... Features are back

No idea what kind of issues you had, but none of those vanished after unlocking my bootloader.
I've been able to use themes just like before, the display stays on when I look at it and those Huawei sounds in settings are still there as well. No idea about the remote since I never used it anyway.
So idk what went wrong on your phone but it doesn't look like that's anything "normal"
Help please !
Bro, can you please please please extract upload C675 system.img stock so that I can come back on stock?

I am guessing it as per different variant, perhaps in mine these apk were in the data partition, Microsoft translator was missing as well
I pushed those apks extracting from firmware to the system partition and its back to normal
You are a savior then !
Yes bro, please upload it. It would be a pleasure for me and several others. I'm dying to get that.

I just realized the firmware on firmware finder seems rather incomplete, update.app is just 300 MB or so, no way it contains full system.img
so am gonna have to take twrp backup b ready for 3gb download, anything else u want other than the system?
From LOS to Stock
Thats not a problem bro, have a 50mbps 250gb monthly plan in broadband. Wanted you to know that I am coming from LOS to stock as much as I know it would require only system.img. But if you think anything else would be required, then please upload that too, as I have only the stock recovery and nothing else.
Thanks for your help !

Mate, thank you for this upload. I am also having the same problems(C675). You are a life saver.
1. Could you please elaborate the steps in detail, where to place system.img in twrp folder(In Internal or sd card)?
2. Also what is the version u have uploaded mate(8.0.0.140/8.0.0.151)?
3. Also can you upload ramdisk, kernel, stock recovery also?
4. Is there any way to get FULLOTA-MF for India as provided in other regions?
Thank you.
I flashed it bro but no network.
I think I need radio/modem files.
Could you please upload? I'm waiting.

here you go , rest of the partitions
Do the same unzip in PC- Copy all these files inside twrp backup folder, go to twrp and use restore option hopefully it will work
this is 140 update backup I haven't received 151 officially due to unknown reasons, but I had made changes to my system partition so it contains almost all new features and fixes of 151 except the 3D creator cam,
3D creator is in my data partition which i did not backup
Hey, Are you sure taking restore of this one alongwith previous one will do the job ? I guess imei resides in efs partition which I cannot see here. Can you confirm this once please ?
and thanks for your time and effort bro

Hey, could you share how did you manage to extract the apks? I downloaded the firmware using the Firmware Finder and found the HwRemoteController.apk but when I try to install it via adb I get a signature failure.

U need to place them directly in /system/app
Or /data/apps and give permission rw-r--r--
Or try signing the apk it should work I guess if libs are not there

Take your own backup first... Try installing only one partition at time... To be honest this EMUI is very new to me... Dont know y they made so many different partitions
Or maybe it's a kirin's thing... I should have just gone with Op5t like rest of the world... Its just chaos and confusion here
how do i get the samsung screen recorder and secure folder on my a226b and or any other samsung ad i dont have them for some reason and i would like to know if theres any universal twrp or odin thing to flash that would gove them back or maybe secret setting to enable or apk to install

There Isn't a screen recorder or secure folder on the SM-A226B you can use calculator+ and flash a android 13 GSI to use the screen recorder.
You can enable screenrecorder by modifiying some lines in /system/etc/floating_feature.xml
<SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_FRAMEWORK_SUPPORT_SCREEN_RECORDER>TRUE</SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_FRAMEWORK_SUPPORT_SCREEN_RECORDER>
<SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_FRAMEWORK_CONFIG_SCREEN_RECORDER_ITEM>-pip</SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_FRAMEWORK_CONFIG_SCREEN_RECORDER_ITEM>
Without spaces. If there is already the value simply change to this. I'm working on a way to enable secure folder in my free time. First tests were successful however there are still some problems. I'm extracting files from A13 5G (SM-A136B) because it has the same chipset as A22 5G and has secure folder

Yes, it should. If this doesn't work there is another line that may need to be changed. Make sure you have at least one ui 3. Updating Samsung Capture may be required (https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu.../samsung-capture-5-4-22-android-apk-download/) Let me know.
I do not know any good file manager because I modify system files with Magisk. You can use termux. Pull file to pc or use quick edit on phone.

You don't need to convert. Just update with apk when phone on. Like every app. I made a mistake in the link. I fixed it. The file should exist on every Samsung one ui device.

An apk of Samsung capture must remain in the /system partition in order to get priv-app permissions
I recommend you to reinstall original firmware (One UI 5.1 if it is available in your region) then modify floating_feature.xml.
This file is placed in every samsung device in /system/etc/floating_feature.xml
You do not have to create nothing. Just modify it add that lines. In my firmware (official one UI 5.1) the second line is already placed in the file. So I simply added:
<SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_FRAMEWORK_SUPPORT_SCREEN_RECORDER>TRUE</SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_FRAMEWORK_SUPPORT_SCREEN_RECORDER>
in the middle of the file

For me it is working. The file floating_feature.xml needs to exist. if it doesn't exist this means your firmware version is old and it doesn't have modern one UI. I don't know how I can help you more
