ICS Camera Driver Dev thread

---

I'm posting this in hopes to get more people involved in getting the camera working in ICS roms for the shift.

You will need to pull twistedumbrellas android_hardware_qcom_camera / 7x30 branch into your builds:

https://github.com/TwistedUmbrella/a.../tree/ics/7x30

Then add the following to your boardconfig.mk

TARGET_LEGACY_CAMERA := true

Pull the following from a gingerbread rom for the shift to build against:
A stock sense gingerbread rom should work fine.

libcamera.so
libmmipl.so
libmmjpeg.so
liboemcamera.so

Add a working media_profiles.xml to system/etc

Correct permissions in the init.rc by adding the following lines:

# Add permissions for camera access
    chmod 0666 /dev/msm_camera/config0
    chmod 0666 /dev/msm_camera/control0
    chmod 0666 /dev/msm_camera/frame0

    chmod 0666 /dev/graphics/fb0

Twistedumbrellas thread for the ace:

Is this the instructions to get it working or what you think COULD work? I'm sorry if it's a dumb question. It just wasn't very clear.

The instructions are to get it to work if you are building from source per twistedumbrella. I havent had time to do a full build with it so i posted this for anyone to try.

Sorry to be offtopic slightly, but what source tree are you using for the device?

I'll give it a shot if I ever get some time :-/ being a maintenance superintendent and moving is time consuming!

The source tree doesnt matter as long as the libs are compiled against the camera.msm7x30.so source.

The best bet for anyone trying this is to use evervolv or kushdeck since they have the speedy vendor and device setup then use twistedumbrellas msm7x30 source for the camera. Kushdeck has the qsd8 source in his github which should be changed out for twistedumbrellas.

if anyone manages to do this before me then twistedumbrellas link is down..i forked it from another so here is a working link:

https://github.com/JKILO/android_hardware_qcom_camera

im currently downloading source..slow connection..and i have a netbook to compile source with so again if you have a faster setup take a swing cause almost anything could beat me to it

I would do it, but i have no idea on how to do any of this
