[WIP] - ICS Camera HAL for 2.6 kernel

ok waiting for a hd2 full camera working

Any news regarding updating camera video to work on N1 as well?

Thank you.

Thank you for this!

is this kernel working with medroid 1.4.4?

This is not a kernel. This is camera.

Hi! I'm trying to get this thing working on my Samsung Galaxy S plus (i9001).
I've successfully built camera.ariesve.so (ariesve is my board name) and put in in /system/lib/hw/ but when I try to start Camera app it does not load that module:

BUMP!

Hey,

i'm one of the developers of ICS for Galaxy ACE and just trying to get camera working. Unfortunately no success yet, but perhaps you can help me...
Here's what i did:

- i used the msm7x727 camera lib from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1624018

Seem's to me that this is a 'port' of rpmv78's solution. Due to the fact that HTC Hero and Galaxy ACE have same chipsets there should be a chance that it works.

- First try: i used proprietary libs (libcamera.so, liboemcamera.so etc.) from a (STOCK Galaxy ACE) gingerbread ROM. Result is a missing symbol in libs. Here's part of logcat during boot:

----
D/AudioHardwareInterface( 145): setMode(NORMAL)
I/AudioHardware( 145): Set master volume to 1.
I/CameraService( 145): CameraService started (pid=145)
E/HAL ( 145): load: module=/system/lib/hw/camera.msm7x27.so
E/HAL ( 145): Cannot load library: link_image[1965]: 145 could not load needed library 'libcamera.so' for 'camera.msm7x27.so' (reloc_library[1314]: 145 cannot locate '_ZN7android7Overlay5setFdEi'...
E/HAL ( 145): )
E/CameraService( 145): Could not load camera HAL module
----

Than i tried to find out where '_ZN7android7Overlay5setFdEi...' can be found. It is in libui.so (of GB ROM) and i hardly doubt that i can simply replace an ICS libui with an GB libui.

- Second try: i used proprietary camera libs from this ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1612140

Camera module and HAL loads but as soon as i start camera, i'll get:

Any idea, what i could do ?

Thanks, lagloose

I have the ROM CM9 3.3U1 BRAVO.

These updates work in this rom?

Pal, thank you very much for ur camera fix.

Will this Mod work on the little Wildfire? Will this overwrite stock Camera?

Hey folks,

i know this is not Galaxy Ace Thread but meanwhile i'm a little frustrated and have no idea how to go on, so i decided to ask here if someone has an idea what i can do or try. I have camera working on Galaxy ACE with no preview. Camera seems to be initialized correctly. I can shoot pictures with stock camera but no preview...
IMO preview can't be shown because of this SIGFPE in libc which is obviously thrown through calling 'initDefaultParameters'

...
V/QualcommCameraHardware( 145): startCamera picture_sizes 0xa7758430 PICTURE_SIZE_COUNT 7
V/QualcommCameraHardware( 145): startCamera preview_sizes 0xa7758468 previewSizeCount 5
V/QualcommCameraHardware( 145): startCamera X
I/QualcommCameraHardware( 145): initDefaultParameters E
F/libc ( 145): Fatal signal 8 (SIGFPE) at 0x00000091 (code=0)
I/Process ( 309): Sending signal. PID: 1421 SIG: 3
I/dalvikvm( 1421): threadid=3: reacting to signal 3

I/Process ( 309): Sending signal. PID: 1421 SIG: 3
I/dalvikvm( 1421): threadid=3: reacting to signal 3
...

This gives followup errors so that preview is not shown. Due to the fact that i've used proprietary libcamera.so from a stock ROM i've only limited possibilities to debug... I've attached a complete logcat from starting camera app through shooting a picture and ending camera app.

Anyone who can help ? if the answer is not of general interest, reply via PM to avoid flooding this thread.

regarding this

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.

are you still interested in helping ?
i am trying to make camera work on Xperia X10 which is also qsd8k and uses 2.6.29 kernel
it has an opensource libcamera.so for gb as well as an alternate libcamera wrapper which works like this
libcamera.so > libcamerasemc.so (the libcamera present in stock rom renamed this way) > liboemcamera.so

also recently sony has released the sources for their gb libcamera recently and that can be used to compile a working gb libcamera atm

so almost everything is open source... but i'm kinda noobish when it comes to cpp and thus i need some help

i can confirm that this works on the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 as well
(we need to set the -DBINDER_COMPAT flag in BoardConfig to make it work)

@rapmv78 Hey, I'm trying to fix the camera for cm9 & cm10 roms for the LG P690 aka LG OPTIMUS NET. Here's the logcat output that I get on initialising the camera.

Its evident that the HAL module is failing to load. I've tried using your HAL module but the phone gets into a bootloop. I've replaced the libcamera.so and liboemcamera.so along with your apk. My device is an armv6 one and is a msm7x27 one. Also, camera.goldfish.so and camera.msm7x27.so are the only 2 libs in both roms related to camera present in /system/lib/hw. I've tried replacing both these files with your HAL by trial and error. I also tried renaming your HAL into camera.p690.so and then using it without replacing any of the 2 files above. Results were same.

I've attached links to the build.prop, libcamera.so and liboemcamera.so. I couldn't do a logcat because with your HAL the phone doesn't get past the boot image itself! Plz help me out...........
