curious, did you have to build a driver from scratch?

blckngldhwk · Sep 26, 2012

Wait what!?

I don't know why I continue to be amazed by the development community but wow...thanks for doing the unthinkable!

So here's what has happened so far, flashed over the latest cm9 unofficial. Which what I run. First boot blue screen, second boot camera displays my face but won't take picture, close camera, open camera...cannot connect to camera.

I installed camera ICS, rebooted, waited for the SD card to stop checking for errors(just like with any OS starting you need to give it a breather) and so far the camera takes pictures perfect.

An issue I dealt with:

I had the trebuchet_fix.zip installed and set to 7x8, and after installing the camera fix, I noticed that my bottom row of icons disappeared. I checked out the launcher homescreen settings, and realized that it was set to 7x7 and I was unable to edit these values.

I simply reinstalled the trebuchet_fix again to get my column and row functionality back. I'm not sure why the camera fix edited these values, possibly due to the sizing of the camera image in the app, but I don't see the correlation.

Very odd, I don't see why it would do that. Maybe make the permission for trebuchet rx rx rx?and then try flashing the unofficial cm9 w/camera over the Rom you're using.

All I did when I tried this was flash the Rom over the original cm9 and saw no issues besides what is listed in the op.

I tried to build the libcamera from sources but I was missing some proprietary headers to make it compiling and both Qualcomm and Code Aurora Forum didn't even answered my questions so I had to use the binary driver and do some tricks in kernel driver and ICS wrapper to workaround problems and make it working

The trebuchet_fix.zip overwrites some values in Trebuchet app. When you have installed my ROM the Trebuchet has been overwritten and you had to reapply the patch. When you will install an official nightly you would have to reapply the patch too.

That sucks, man. I think someone needs to fix it so you can post in there. I had no idea that you had even started this post until someone brought it to my attention.

Is it a not having enough post permission?, if so just post a few things.

i might be wrong but i kind of vaguely remember something about needing 10 posts before a person could post there.

Is this still being worked on? And this should def be in development considering it may speak a little boost on development for the touchpad!

I'd be awesome to finally have something that's fully functioning CM9
