[17 May][AOSP 4.3, 4.4][PORT][APP]Fixed Camera App and Lib for CM/All AOSP roms

[kenaw]

No, it doesn't work. I tried it myself. Had to do a full wipe and reinstall the ROM to get it working again. Do not try it.

 

[molonad]

So not for 5.0, what should I do?

i think cm12 does not need this fix anymore..
use nameless rom and use Google camera, you will get perfectly working camera..

I know it's been a long time since you posted, but what is your advice in this regard (as someone who used Nameless) ?
I've tried other CM12 ROMs (not Nameless yet) and they all have the same issue (can't connect to camera) even with 3rd party apps.

I've tried your fix on CM11 and it solved the issue btw. It's the only thing that convinced me to abandon stock and go for CM11.
Is there any development on this fix for CM12? I guess the fix is still needed for other ROMs even if Nameless got it solved. :good:

Thanks.

Hello guys. I'm using Paranoid Android 4.6 Beta 5 on my Samsung Galaxy S3 (i9300). Which version of the fix should I flash? CM or Omni. Thanks.

For some recording issue in Snapchat like 2~ sec recording and thats it I use this:

Xposed
Snapshare

maybe it helps

 

[nstarz]

First off I wanna say a HUGE HUGE HUUUUUGE thanks for this. I have spent the last 2 days endlessl looking and testing and trying to find a fix.
Funny thing I landed on this and this was my very last ditch effort at tring to fix this. I had just texted people about if this fix doesn;t work I am reverting back to 4.3 tw stock rooted. To my pleasant surprise, this fix worked for me.

I am currently on Octos 4.4.4 KK rom and have sent the last 2 days exhaustingly and tireingly trying to get a fix for this.

I am so very greatful for whoever made this fix, I thank you a million times over.

I am on a T999L tmobile s3, and for whatever reason this phones camea seems to have issues with aosp style roms. I tried cm11, carbon rom, and Octos rom all 4.4.x KK roms and had the exact same camera issue on all of them.

Again I thank you for ending my tireless search for a fix.

Which download file did you use?

I used to have problems with the camera button animating but no picture was taken on the built-in camera.
I am on a Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 International and Cyanogenmod 12-20150310 (Android 5.0.2) and this method worked for me. Now I can take endless amount of pictures! So happy Thanks a million!

 

[Banayat]

bahaha...Android completed the misery by just deleting my replaced camera on Slimkat 4.4.4 after tryin to open it soooo, how can I get that Camera app back to android because no Camera app works anymore? btw I've installed the prescribed version:
CM_Fixed_Camera_for_CM_All_AOSP_roms_by_RohanAJoshi_V5.0.zip

 

[Tylonhh]

soooo, how can I get that Camera app back to android because no Camera app works anymore?

Did you solved it? I deleted odex and flashed the rom, wiped the cashes but can't run the Google camera.
I'm on LP

Any suggestions?

No, it doesn't work. I tried it myself. Had to do a full wipe and reinstall the ROM to get it working again. Do not try it.

Is that really needed? Why doesn't a reflash of the Rom help? Do I have to delete some files?

 

[Tylonhh]

Ok, I got it. Here it's how I uninstalled the script CM_Fixed_Camera_for_CM_All_AOSP_roms_by_RohanAJoshi_V5.0.zip

Within in that zip there is a script which files are replaced, so I deleted them, wiped dalvik and cashes and rebooted.

This is what's inside that script

ui_print("Fixed Camera App and Lib for CM/All AOSP roms by RohanAJoshi");

ui_print("Mounting system...");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");

ui_print("Deleting previous Camera and lib ...");
delete("/system/app/Camera2.apk");
delete("/system/lib/hw/camera.smdk4x12.so");
delete("/system/lib/hw/vendor-camera.smdk4x12.so");

ui_print("Deleting done, now installing new gallery and libs ...");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");

ui_print("Fixing Permissions...");
set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0755, 0644, "/system/app");
set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0755, 0644, "/system/lib/hw");
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/system/addon.d/75-rohancamera.sh");

ui_print("Un-Mounting system...");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/system");

ui_print("Installation Complete!");

 

[kbuss]

this fix just rendered my camera totally inoperable! even other camera apps (Insta, Google camera), and full factory reset dont work, I had to reflash from zip.

9305 latest CM official nightly, 04/12 I think, few days old fresh install. maybe its not the right thread to ask, but what is this camera misery anyways??? why isnt this integrated in CM ages ago? and whats the point of compiling official CM nightlies till its camera is not working flawlessly out of the box?

stay away, idk why this thread is not closed...?? it looks it was abandoned almost a year ago...

 

[Tylonhh]

Did you red my post before yours?

getapatalked mit Android 5.1

 

[Minto107]

Will it work on Android 5.1?(If I delete lines from upd script of course )

Video bitrate

Hi everybody! I recently installed this fix and it works flawlessly. My only issue is the video recording bitrate. It makes a HUGE 43MBPS 1080p h264 file and I don't know how to change this. Anyone have a suggestion for me? Thanks in advance!

 

[doiscavalos]

I need some help on how to install those files.
I have the latest CM 11 (20150517 Nightly) working on my i9300 and suffering from issues with camera. Mainly its detected when i try to access the camera directly from inside. To repair it I have to reboot the phone and take the pictures from the camera app and then share into whatsapp.

Anyone can help me? Thanks!!
