Well, I think my previous bootloop might not actually have been caused by the media stuff - I had edited my build.prop to add qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 but I hadn't changed permissions on it, and I think that was the issue. Really stupid bug!

I tried swapping the libmedia.so/libaudioflinger.so and other required files from TW, but there's too many differences for it to work on AOSP :( Oh well.


Anyhow...

This isn't as good as I wanted it to be yet, but I wanted to keep my promise to release something, so here's a beta version for 4.3. Works on the I9300, and maybe also on the I9305 and/or N7100/Note 2 - it would be nice if someone could test it on those!

The biggest issue at the moment is that installing this mod breaks video recording - in the AOSP camera app as well - so if you need to use that, you shouldn't install it yet!!

Currently Working:
Front and back cameras
"Wand" Filters
Flash
Auto & Macro focus modes
Tap-to-focus
White Balance options
GPS tagging
Gallery shortcut (uses AOSP Gallery)

Single Shot
Face Detection
HDR
Smile Shot
Low light
Sound and Shot (saves file, but you cannot play it in the AOSP gallery)

Not Working due to permissions issues:
Burst shot
Best Photo
Panorama
Beauty

Not Working, may be fixed later:
Shutter sounds
Automatic mDNIe / screen brightness adjustment
Camcorder in AOSP camera + other apps

Not Working, unlikely to be fixed:
Samsung Camcorder
Share Shot
Buddy Photo Share
Voice recognition
Weather/city photo tagging in the media database (what's this used for exactly?)

To be added in future versions:
Remove Low Battery warning
Move bottom bar when softkeys/navbar is enabled (if I can figure out how to do it)

Download:
This patch is ONLY compatible with AOSP-based 4.3 ROMs running on the GT-I9300, and possibly also the GT-I9305 and GT-N7100
Make a Nandroid backup before flashing!!

great to had a beta version over, sad is camcorder is not working, but this isnt the big deal while i believe the fix is just a small nut to you anyways~
really thanks for your hard work, i will wait until the camcorder is working and i will try it that time~

I do not know if this is a known issue, but after installing this on my S3 with CM10.1.3, the flash fires too late in the stock camera app resulting in a dark picture without the light of the flash. The Samsung camera fires the flash at the correct moment, though.

I'm on v64, I did have the fc issue but it is no longer present. I realise that isn't much help to you but possibly to eliminating uncertainties in the situation. I use boeffla kernel with temasek v64.

This camera is excellent.

Try disabling the shutter sound (was enabled by default for me, and disabling it fixed the FC on touch focus).

BTW, video recording works perfect only at 720p.
Zooming at 1080p will make the video as horrible as possible.

Thank you. Got ask excited as I was able to change to slow no recording after flashing this. When I press record the app crashes but before I think just switching caused problems!
