Hi,

As from my check in 247 version ROM, the build.prop already has the line persist.camera.hal3.enabled=0.
If you have rooted, you only need to change the 0 to 1 >> persist.camera.hal3.enabled=1

Or if you don't want to modify the build.prop, you can just create the value at the /data partition using terminal emulator (with root access), this leaves the /system intact.

Code:

su
setprop persist.camera.HAL3.enabled 1

The downside is everytime you factory reset, you have to set the value again.

t1 zip changes that 0 to 1, no new entry is added
t2 zip adds a new line to enable the same

OP doesn't have the device. We need to try and share feedback. Else wait for someone to share.

Appreciate efforts from OP.

Have you tried bacon camera, it's quite a substitute for flashing a module for enabling c2api
