Help needed for OUR SoC

Hi,

I am trying to get better support for the Mediatek SoC on xda so could you all please help me help you and show your support Here

I am asking that the Mediatek SoC be granted its own section under "Device" instead of us being posted all over the forum.

Maybe they will listen if we get enough response :fingers-crossed:

Please spread the word Thanks

porting lewa os on my mt6589 device, everything works but the camera, actually the camera works but the screen is green tinted and its dark, any ideas what to patch?

on my mt6577, i only need libcameracustom.so and libmhaldrv.so, to make the camera work

my problem is that the mt6589 dont have the libmhaldrv.so

 

[Brick3d]

Default camera.so in /hw
Libcam*.so /lib

And the camera chmod and chown in the ramdisk init.rc (replace with stock lines, usr winmerge to find the lines)

In addition to the voetbalremco:

Unpack stock and port boot.img

Search init.rc in ramdisk for camera chmod/chown. Replace port with stock line

Ofcourse, I'll explain it more clearly. @yuweng. Please...include this in OP, ive explained too many times

I assume you use dsixda's kitchen.
Set up working folder for stock rom
Go to advanced > tools for boot.img
> unpack boot.img

Navigate to the folder called Boot-extracted.
> rename it to something else (for now: stock boot)

Set up working folder for port rom.
Go to advanced > unpack boot.img

Do a google search for 'winmerge' > install program (free).

Open winmerge, for left navigate to the 'stock boot' folder, and select init.rc (about 40kb)

For right, navigate to the port 'boot-extracted', and select init.rc (about 40kb)

In winmerge find lines like this
Chmod camera blablabla (on the left pane you will see where there are differences)
Chown camera blablabla

If there are differences in those lines, copy the stock lines, and overwrite the port ones

Save the files (crtl+s)

Navigate to boot extracted folder, you can close winmerge. Copy stock Zimage (from 'stock boot' folder) to port, and overwrite the Zimage there with stock one.

Go back to kitchen, > advanced > tools for boot.img > build new boot image.

Profit

Did the camera.so and all the libcam, still the same, but i havent tried the init.rc

 

[Brick3d]

Init rc, is the most important. For me, it fixed it. My only problem ever was the auto focus, so I don't know much about yours.

maybe you should try in this order to change things:

init.rc > test
init.rc + libcameracustom.so > test
init.rc + libcameracustom.so + defaultcamera.so (/hw) > test
init.rc + libcameracustom.so + defaultcamera.so (/hw) + libmhaldrv.so > test

for me, the third one always works...
