Hello Guys,
since the first Ports from the one V and the first AOKP roms with ICS I was wondering.
Why is it possible to have Camera feature as long as Sense is not there?
I was reading something about drivers. But why is it not possible to take the camera drivers from the AOKP and take it to the Sense Version? Is Sense that deep into the system that they may need other drivers (other code) or something?
I'm not familiar with that topic so please don't rip me appart
Greetings

we will have to wait for htc to release the camera drivers for DHD when official update 4.0 will hit it and no sense is different from aosp and each one of them use diiferent kernel so we will have to wait for update
As I saw on every ported ICS Sense4 ROMs for DHD, main problem with camera is with drivers. OVE V has different camera hardware and devs cannt get source code to port it to DHD. I know every1 is inpatient but all we can do is to complaine and get banned
Does that mean that it is IMPOSSIBLE to get the camera working without HTC's help or just very hard? I'd have thought that if it was a driver issue the aokp camera would work on sense roms because the hardware is the same (i know this isn't the case, just don't fully understand why)...
developers are trying very hard to solve the camera problem and android 4.0 is not official yet so you may not enjoy a nice experience of it untill htc officially release it for DHD

I'm actually on AOKP build8, with Faux kernel, everything is fine, I like the look and feel (but missing the original HTC feeling, would love them to unbloat sense a bit and get to the origins...)
The one big thing missing (for many peoples I guess) is the Camera app...
Now here comes the question : haven't there been sens phones which camera app had been ported to aosp allready (like HTC Desire ?)
If this was possible then, isn't it now ? (while taking in consideration 4.0 is different from 2.X...
I'm just thinking to have a look at Venom (but hey, AOKP will get Jellybean much much faster )
Should I try Venom or is it justwaist of time ? Is there a way for the camera to beThanks for everything

The HTC camera needs the Sense framework, so it's almost impossible to make it work. The only way to have the best of both worlds is to use a sense rom with an aosp theme.

I know it need the senese framework, else I would not ask for it to be ported to AOSP
My question is not on how top prt it, but if a camera apk from sense has ever been ported outside of it.
I'm not too eager to go bck to sense, as multitasking is crap and just have 300MB more romsize for the camera ? Not sure...

This will not happen due to the closed drivers. Hence why on most aosp and aokp roms on any device we rarely see the stock applications running on them.

The Sense camera app is the reason im not using a custom rom yet, I want to use Epsilon Project (based on AOKP 4.1.2), but I want the sense camera, it is sad to hear that it is imposible to do this :crying:

EpsilonProject has a pretty nice camera that makes me forget the Sense one.
I only need to figure out how to disable face recognition.

I could only a sense Rom from epsilonproject, are you sure that it isn't the sense cam?

but why dont you install a APK for good camera ??
camera + ?
Hi, I was wondering if it was possible to install the HTC Sense 4.0 Camera APK and use it as a default for my current ICS ROM.. I'm using Ice Cream Jibwich 2.0, so far it seems to be the smoothest ICS ROM that works on my Desire Z and does have a working camera.. I just like some of the functionality of the Sense 4.0 camera, and I was wondering if I could get it on my ICS ROM.. Is there anything I need to know about? Is it just as simple as replacing the camera apk or will there be issues with framework? etc.
Thanks
Nope, it needs sense framework. Correct Me if wrong

^What he said.
the Sense-style blobs, drivers, etc is designed specifically for that sense kernel it won't work outside of that.
On a Funny Note: There used to be a ton of these types of threads, except it was how to get ICS cameras working on Sense (since before infinity, Sense didn't have a working camera for 3.6 onward).

Hi guys,
My first post on this forum will be a question, and please believe me after searching in different topic I have not found an answer to my question.
I am the happy owner of a HTC X ONE, and I had the opportunity to flash several types of ROM: Cyanogen, AOPK, MIUI, STOCK-LOOK ...
And I fell in love with speed, speed, simplicity of cyanogen roms and its derivatives (such as PARANOID)
Especially with CM10 Jelly Bean.
But I have to stay in a rom type VIPERX, android Revolution HD, despite my distaste for the overlay SENSE because the application Camera (and in a less importance the gallery app) is just perfect . I think I'm not the only one in this situation.
Is it there's AOSP ROM projects (such CYANOGEN PURE), with an idea of a port of the fabulous camer app ?
Is it possible to make this port, or the only possible solution is to wait for official 4.1 ROM and remove any touch of SENSE keeping the application?
Thanks for your answers.
No it is next to impossible, if anything incredibly unlikely, as HTC sense uses different framework.
if you look at the htc hd2 forums, you will see everyone is using tytung kernel for their 4.0 to 4.2 roms as it has fully working 720p video playback, camera and camcorder... why hasn't any htc desire developer ported his work? i would think it would be easier/more flexible than trying to port kernel 3.0 which seems to never be able to work completely because of lack of drivers.

Maybe because making a working kernel 3 is more important than porting other kernels.

i think we will never get a complete kernel 3 tbh as there's a lot of drivers not available..
It looks much easier/feasible to port Tytung work on camera/camcorder as the 2.x kernel of HD2 is very similar to htc desire's 2.x kernel..that would require less effort than trying to port kernel 3 (maybe i am wrong..) Qiss Rom and Tytung have been able to get a fully working camera/camcorder using kernel 2.x; so it is possible
at least i have been able to enjoy ICS with qiss rom and marius.a's rom (not a single issue to the major components : camera/camcorder is perfect, BT, GPS, Fm radio and all apps and games work great) ... i would have liked enjoying Jelly bean on my desire before changing phone next year

man you are wrong i have a second device (samsung galaxy5) and it has kernel 3.x working great and it's the only ARMV6 phone whit this kernel and if someone could do it for such a low end phone we can do it so don't worry we'll have our 3.x kernel

i mean apart from qiss rom team(unfortunately they did not released their source), no one has been able to get a stable camera/camcorder on kernel 2.x ... what makes you think with kernel 3.x it will be better and easier? and unfortunately there are very very few developers on the htc desire nowadays.. look at the android dev forum, it is quite quiet nowadays

out there are millions of devices whitout any dev and you complain about your phone whit A LOT of devs? if you want camera to full work stay on sense roms

Trust me, nikez and team are working on it. The xda thread may seem dead because of a bit of a mishap with a forum mod, but hes is still actively working and reporting his progress on his forum and on twitter.

i know he's developing and i am glad he is still continuing working on k3 ... i am just raising the question why no one ported tytung's work instead of working from "scratch"

It wouldn't work, because nikez uses ion now in his rom instead of pmem! With pmem and tytung's camera fix, which tytung already dicussed with nikez in nikez's thread, it would work, but nikez dont want to revert back to pmem

is there any possible way to use sense camera on cm ROM ??
No. Requires Sense framework.
Guys I though that was impossible too have HTC camera on AOSP roms , I know because of framework. But a great developer here, one of my favorites, kerneldev101 (hope I wrote well the name) said to me on her thread Rom DHDsamtation or similar name lol, that is not impossible to port sense camera to AOSP ROMs, because their team also ported many apps and camera from Touchwiz to AOSP 4.2.2 to our device.
Still I AM confused about this, if is possible or not.
But wish was possible and we could start a thread and help developers with donation to port sense camera (and sense keyboard too, will be nice) to our device =)
Is the only things that fault on our Desire HD and really need on AOSP roms.
Sorry for bad english, not my native language, and auto correct prediction errors keyboard lolol.
Cheers
