Hello everyone!!!
This is a continuation of rapmv78's ICS Camera HAL for 2.6 kernel. Great thanks to nobodyAtall who helped get this working :D

THINGS YOU WILL NEED:
A working ICS ROM for your device
A lot of time ;)

Now this can be adapted to any phone, but it is designed for the LG Optimus One (P500)
I will upload the panorama fix to my GitHub as soon as I finish porting the code for it

SOURCES:
https://github.com/androidarmv6/android_device_libcamera
Camera app changes coming soon!
Frameworks changes coming soon!

TO FIX VIDEO RECORDING AND PLAYBACK:
To fix video you will need the lib/libstagefright_soft_aacdec.so file from your ICS ROM. Setup a vendor pregenerated lib by adding that .so to your COMMONFOLDERNAME/proprietary/lib/libstagefright_soft_aacdec.so

TO INSTALL:
1. Follow the instructions in the READMEs in the repos ;)
2. In your BoardConfigCommon.mk, delete the following lines IF THEY EXIST:
(Note: these are scattered all over the file, so look for them)
  • COMMON_GLOBAL_CFLAGS += -DICS_CAMERA_BLOB
  • TARGET_USE_OVERLAY := false
  • TARGET_HAVE_BYPASS := false
  • TARGET_USES_C2D_COMPOSITION := false
  • COMMON_GLOBAL_CFLAGS += -DREFRESH_RATE=60
3. Now add these lines to your BoardConfigCommon.mk
  • TARGET_DISABLE_ARM_PIE := true
  • TARGET_BOOTANIMATION_USE_RGB565 := true
  • TARGET_BOOTANIMATION_TEXTURE_CACHE := true
  • Note that the following 2 might not be needed based on your device, but most devices will need them
  • TARGET_NO_HW_VSYNC := true
  • COMMON_GLOBAL_CFLAGS += -DQCOM_NO_SECURE_PLAYBACK
4. Edit the files in the DEVICE/libcamera folder to suit your device

Again, thanks to nobodyAtall for getting this to work!!!

How to do this "Setup a vendor pregenerated lib by adding that .so to your COMMONFOLDERNAME/proprietary/lib/libstagefright_soft_aacdec.so"??

I have an x10 and camera works but with small grey bar at the bottom in 8 Mpx but 6MPx works fine.. No video recording nd panaroma..

Click to expand...
Click to collapse

Read me only shows this message "This directory contains code for the Jelly Bean Camera HAL"
BTW where do we replace the files ? Where does BoardConfigCommon.mk file exist ?

Put the file in the /vendor/MANUFACTURER/DEVICE/proprietary/lib/
Add this line to your vendor-DEVICE-blobs.mk: (Note: Make sure it's the second to last line, not the last line)
vendor/COMPANY/DEVICE/proprietary/lib/libstagefright_soft_aacdec.so:system/lib/libstagefright_soft_aacdec.so \

Also here is an example of a common repo where you need to make all these changes:
https://github.com/lgics/cm_device_lge_msm7x27-common

And the vendor for the video:
https://github.com/lgics/cm_vendor_lge
