just tried it on desire z (androdamus alpha 7)...
first with the libs inside the zip, then i took the libs from cm7.1 for my device...
didn´t work, but i did not flash the boot image through fastboot...
EDIT: my skills are not good enough for this, i will leave it to someone else

That is not "generic" by nature and sounds like it was written for a very specific kernel. I will wait for the source to modify it for the current "common" ics kernel, as most other devices are using the same ioctl and pmem configurations.

It will render your phone unusable since you are flashing a wrong kernel. May not brick if you can recover from bad kernel flashes. I am working with Nicgraner. Hopefully will have something for you to use.
Great bro thats who i was speaking with when i first seen your post a few days ago he was trying to get it to work but couldnt get it to,glad to see that ill stop taking up space on threads and thanks again for your hard work!!! : )

glitches == some black lines on left of the screen? If yes, it happens with me too.
Hope rapmv78 will fix it

Almost 100% certain this is a HWA issue. Same happens when playing back videos for me, black lines when playing. No issue with the actual picture though.
I do not get those black lines, except in video mode (which I am trying to fix). Can someone post a screenshot? Also If anyone can try flashing the boot-new.img from the zip file (note that your wifi may stop working) and see if that makes it go away, then it could be a kernel issue. You can go back to using the boot.img from the original ROM once you are done checking.
flashed the boot-new.img, still same issue.
camera mode: only has some black lines about 1-2 cm on left screen, show random.
in video mode: full black lines which that knowns issue.
Hope will fix it.
glitches
but this is only in preview
I have same glitches about 1 cm left screen (moving short black vertical lines)but it has glitches on the screen~!

Are you using the new HAL from this thread? The one from the other thread had that issue, which should be fixed with this one. If you are still having issues, can you post logcat?

142I have re-written the ICS camera HAL module to be a thin wrapper for the gingerbread libcamera.so and hence it will only work with the 2.6 kernel. The advantage is that getting to gingerbread level functionality should be quick Creating a new thread because there is a slight chance that this will work for all qualcomm devices with existing libcamera.so files (with slight mods ofcourse )
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?wjf035mz2vzunw4
Here is a zip file which contains the new camera HAL module. README file accompanying it has instructions on the locations for the files. If you already have the previous version of camera HAL working, all you have to do is replace camera.qsd8k.so and libcamera.so with the ones in the zip file.
What works:
1) Preview works.
2) Taking a picture works pretty well.
3) Size of picture is no longer huge.
4) Software zoom works.
5) Most of the other knobs like focus, file size etc. seemed to work as well in my testing.
6) Pretty stable as far as I can see
Not working yet:
Video and other fancy stuff.
If people have requests for other qualcomm devices after having tried the HAL included in the zip file, kindly include the following information.
1) logcat from having used the HAL module.
2) build.prop
3) libcamera.so from gingerbread ROM for the device.
4) liboemcamera.so from gingerbread ROM.
Currently known to work on the following devices:
1) Nexus One.
2) HTC Desire
3) HTC HD2
Enjoy and thanks for all the feedback.55Updates:

Working barcode scanner mode
Flashable zip file (should work with texasice's ROMs)

Working Panorama mode
Flashable zip file (should work with texasice's ROMs)
http://www.mediafire.com/?5r599m5jg5yfaqn
Known issues:
Sometimes screen has some garbage while in Panorama mode viewfinder. Quitting completely from the app and restart or invoking Gallery from inside the app and returning back to camera app should mostly fix it.
Video enabled version:
Fastboot compatible images compiled from evervolv base:
For Stock hboot :

For HBoot(s) supporting larger /system partition
http://www.mediafire.com/?f6rz3sz2r97qln0
Source code is now available at
https://github.com/rapmv78/14Got video to work finally with hardware encoder support as well. It is not as smooth as I would like it to, but I do not know what the issue is. I could see that all frames were encoded, so the issue is probably in the encoder or my SD card is slow. Would like some feedback on whether others see some stutters too or not. Updated the second post with new fastboot system images. Also source code is now available on my github, as promised DISCLAIMER: The code has a bunch of hacks and is not very clean, as I did not get much time to clean it up before sharing.
For people with non-nexus devices, you can use the source code to compile your own or here is just the HAL module as a separate download

You also need
media_profiles.xml which should to into /system/etc/
http://www.mediafire.com/?ig6t931i8h3zhzf
libmediaplayer.so which should go into /system/lib/
http://www.mediafire.com/?8jb64a94tdfe4vp
Here are the source changes for libmediaplayer.so
--- a/frameworks/base/media/libmediaplayerservice/StagefrightRecorder.cpp
+++ b/frameworks/base/media/libmediaplayerservice/StagefrightRecorder.cpp
uint32_t encoder_flags = 0;
- if (mIsMetaDataStoredInVideoBuffers) {
+ if (0 && mIsMetaDataStoredInVideoBuffers) {
encoder_flags |= OMXCodec::kHardwareCodecsOnly;
encoder_flags |= OMXCodec::kStoreMetaDataInVideoBuffers;
}
Enjoy!!13Just updated the second post with a new flashable zip to enable panorama mode.
The black lines should be either completely gone or very rare as far as I can tell.
A bonus, Gallery hanging randomly should be fixed as well.
Enjoy and thanks a lot for your feedback. Please keep them coming.
