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

[overkill22]

Hi guys,
I'm running CM11-20150823-NIGHTLY-i9300 and I have some problems.

1) sometimes I get an error about "Service Exchange". I notice when I was setting up the phone, adding the accounts.
2) in whatsapp the camera is not working, not taking pictures. it crash whatsapp after the first try and then a message "impossible to open the camera" edit: I noticed this with the frontal camera
3) can I add the red circle on the icon of whatsapp and facebook? (the notification about the number of the unread messages and notification)
4) it looks like that the display is with a wrong resolution... the pictures don't look nice either the icons... any suggestion?

edit:
5) using the whatsapp audio message, the phone record the voice super loud. even if I have the phone at 2mt away and I'm talking normally, the recording is super loud and the speaker will distort the sound even at low volume. any fix for this?

Has anyone of you ever faced phone turning off after using Camera with flash? I have mostly observed this when the battery is below 50%.

To switch it back on i need to remove and reinsert the battery.

I have my original stock battery in my S3 and i don't think there's anything wrong with the battery.

Using S3 running AD 3.1.3 with AK kernel.

Sent from my GT-I9300

Hi,

I am running Slimkat Build 9 Official ROM in Galaxy S3 SGH T999. I had flash all the below three zips one by one but nothing works. Actually it did not even replace the current camera app for the first two. But for the third the camera got installed and still getting FC error.
Please help.

1) OmniRom-Fixed_camera_Lib_V4.zip
2) OmniRom-Fixed_camera_Lib_with_Face_Detection_V2.zip
3) Omni_Fixed_Camera_for_OmniRom_by_RohanAJoshi_V5.0.zip

Yes it was, but didnt use any script

As I wrote, I delted manually the files wich are mentioned in the script.

did you do this to fix the front camera problem?

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!");

I really don't understand what did you delete.
I have found the script, and it is the same as yours.
edit:
I understood which files you manually deleted:

/system/app/Camera2.apk
/system/lib/hw/camera.smdk4x12.so
/system/lib/hw/vendor-camera.smdk4x12.so

Is this making the front camera working?
Thank you!

Oh sorry for the misunderstanding.
Yes I deleted the files, which are mentioned in the script, directly on the phone with a SU file manager.

ok, but will this make the camera working?
because actually I tried just to rename the files and it will not recognise the camera anymore (because the Camera2.apk is the app of the camera)

Did you boot into recovery to wipe cache and dalvik?
And it's right, you have to install a camera. I like the Google camera. I guess if you want to have the stock camera, just flash the Rom again.

ok, now I'm understanding better.

another question:

1) Does the google camera solve the problem of using the front camera in whatsapp?

 

[Tylonhh]

Give it a try

 

[overkill22]

Give it a try

doest it fix the problem or not?

 

[Tylonhh]

I dunno. Try it and tell us.
If not you can delete it.

PS: are you German (too)?

no I'm from italy, aber ich spreche ein bischen Deutch weil ich wone in Trentino

however, I'll try it, but not sure about the results.
This problem seems without solution.

 

[overkill22]

On CM11 I fixed it installing the version 4 (v.4) of the fix, not the last one.
Fixed_Camera_for_CM_All_AOSP_roms_by_RohanAJoshi_V4.0.zip

however, sometimes I still get the error and have to reboot the phone.

Try to download it again....did you check the md5sum, if not check it out to see if the files is correct. It happened to me more than I was expecting to have a corrupted file...

Fixed_Camera_V 4.0 has fix problem with switch camera in many apps like WhatsApp, Instagram and Twitter BUT this problem still exists in Periscope, the app I flashed my phone for. Very sad=(
