[FIX] Front camera fix on the official CM13 builds

[tank0412]

Hello.
I do not know but maybe it will be usefull for someone. I had dead front camera issue on the official CM13 builds.
So i fixed it:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-Fin8UxrD6PTWZ2cjFuaVVaYk0/view
Just flash it via TWRP and you will get working front camera.

I created thist hread because i hope that this way this issue will be fixed faster by TheStrix.

P.S. My original first post with a fix is there:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68183787&postcount=18

P.P.S My fix method is so stupid and simple but it works.
Maybe i will fing better fix later.

Thanks it works great
Do you think this fix could be implemented in a custom kernel?

I think that it will work on any custom kernel because it is not fault of it.
It is a fault of missing files in a custom rom.

This is such a wonderful share! One reason for me not flashing official cm13 is this front camera issue.. ( apart from the goodix issue ofcourse ) but seeing a working fix for the camera, now I am thinking twice! I think I can use cm13 now as a daily driver.. I am looking forward for fp fix in the future as well for goodix ones.

Kernel stock? I installed cm13 last build 05/09 full wipe, my camera crashed with error " can't connect !:crying::crying:" , after your patch front camera works, but I can't switch to back " missing button to switch ",
I do not know what I can do What do you think about it?
Thanks again for your reply

It is really strange.
Try to get logcat and publish it there. I will look at it.
I use kernel by CM Team.

hi,

thanks for your work

but for me it does not work yet.

problem is diversity of hardware

my front cam s5k5e8 mod (z5e8yab) work fine !! bat back cam s5k3p3 mod gt24c64?* or f3p3man (I'm not sure which) missing libraries and crash (error can’t connect)

you could add libraries for both gt24c64, f3p3man

thx

 

[NTRNSTR]

Looks like the fix was added to cm

I think it was added to CM14 branch not CM13 branch.

 

[SepdrianPutra]

I think it was added to CM14 branch not CM13 branch.

welp, seems they will abandon CM13 and continuing project for CM14. I hope some custom kernels can implement this new patch on CM13 until CM14 stable/nightly builds coming.

Looks like it... I guess I just have to wait for the Official CM14 or the MIUI 8 Marsmallow edition.

My rear camera works fine on every ROM, but front only in MIUI. On AOSP/CM based phone doesn't see a front camera, even after I installed these blobs.

Can you share what program did you use to check your camera, I mean this screenshot showing software version?

BTW: I applied blobs from 1408 over official CM and it works like a charm.

tap on MIUI build number and it will enter CIT mode. I believe that is in software version.
