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

Wait what!?

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

wonder why this thread is under another touchpad dev thread. still the same android rite?

Very good job, thank you.

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.

Congrats and Thanks _Dorregaray_: What a HaRd WoRkeR!!!!!!!
