OTA Updating
As of 2/19/18, OTA is functional. Currently hosting OTA ROM on DropBox. Previously used XDA's devDB for OTA but they removed the ability to link directly to the ROM.
Tested on CWM recovery. Let me know of any issues.
If update fails in recovery, download is located in /sdcard/OTA-Updater/download/ folder.

Last Updated 2019-03-017Since the last update I have been working on getting the camera operational. I could have taken the easy route and just brought up PMEM just for the camera but that would have been messy and it would make any future updates I do a PITA. So I dove into the code and learned a few things that I thought I would share here since it is difficult to find any documentation online. First of all I originally thought that libcamera was made open source for jellybean. This is actually only partially correct. When I was trying to make the libcamera code work I kept running into issues where it felt like the code was not finished. For instance, libcamera would send an IOCTL to the kernel and expect a response from a second non-existant thread. After writing in a substantial amount of "missing" code into libcamera in an effort to "complete" it, I decided to google one of the IOCTLs that were missing from libcamera. I managed to find something on a chinese website that wasn't much help except for the title of the page which was "mm_qcamera_daemon". After doing some research on this I came to the conclusion that the "missing thread" from libcamera was actually a separate program that communicates with libcamera and the kernel driver. So prior to Jellybean the camera was structured like this:
Camera App->android frameworks->libcameraservice->camera HAL->libcamera->liboemcamera->kernel driver
As of Android 4.2.2 it was reworked to look something like this:
camera App->android frameworks->libcameraservice->camera.msm7x30->libmmcamera_interface->kernel driver
mm_qcamera_daemon->kernel driver
Basically the proprietary imaging functions were moved out of the main thread and into a separate executable that runs at boot. There were significant changes made to the kernel drivers that are similar to the changes made to the framebuffer drivers. The camera sensor drivers have had most of their functions moved to a sort of shared sensor driver with the actual sensor drivers mostly holding specific register settings. A lot of the changes were made to tie the camera sensors into Video For Linux 2 (V4L2). Userspace functions in libmmcamera & mm_qcamera_daemon then talk to the camera drivers through V4L2.
So I managed to write a Jellybean camera sensor driver for the main rear camera that works with this new format. I have also made progress writing a program that will act as the daemon. Currently I have a camera preview on the rear facing camera. I still have clean up to do on my local code before I commit as everything is a mess right now. I am trying to get everything close to the jb_mr1.1-release branch AOSP with as few modifications as possible. If everything goes smoothly I should be able to post the next release in a couple of weeks.6Just posted new version (4.2.2). This is still a work in progress so expect a few bugs that I don't know about.51.0.3 is up. Lots of bug fixes, camera fixes, etc. Let me know if you dirty flash and are unable to find the Camera app. Or any issues that is.41.0.2 is up! Lots of updates. Rear camera works. Sort of. Still a work in progress but I figured I would add the theme manager as a distraction. So enjoy!
