This will be helpful as well: HOWTO compile CM9. Rom_Tester could you put together all links and useful information in first post?

I am not really sure how that helps with the camera development...
And Rom_Tester added the links posted anyway.

So without sources, compiling and tests, how can you build drivers?

Hi! Wazzup?

Sorry for not being participated in current development.
I have to say that you're unlikely to build CM9 following my instructions mentioned before. I'll try to write a new one.
So, you might be asking how does compiling by yourself will help with camera development? Well, I have built several drivers from different phones, and none of them actually loaded.
When I tried to do logcat I just got something like "Camera module not loaded" that is possibly happened because some of functions that need to be implemented into driver - were not implemented. But I've met some compiled drivers that loaded successfully but didn't work because, as I suppose, have inappropriate combination of some parameters (e.g. refresh rate). Unfortunately I haven't manage to find their sources.
So what can you do? You can try to build different camera drivers, put the resulting module as "/system/modules/hw/camera.ariesve.so", start logcat and try to run Camera app. If logcat shows something more about camera that just "Camera module not loaded" - just post it in this thread. It will be strarting point.

Of course,there is a harder way - try to implement everything by yourself, but it's way more complicated that previous step.

Where can we get some coders to get our camera working? Or to support vpupkin?

WE HAVE ONE ----> Vpupkin <3

Keinbockwurst · May 13, 2012

So we just need a camera driver that is starting now to start programming with it?

Well, we are no coders. Our only hope is a real coder, and I think that's you.

Welcome back !

Something like this? It's from this kernel.
As you can see, module can't be loaded, because there are missing functions in library 'libcamera.so' (in logcat you can see one, but I bet, there are more).

For me the problem is I don't know where I have to start. Is there any chance I can have a look on the files which are necessary for the camera? Until I have all sources etc.
