[FIX][STOCK][4.0.4][14/07]Working Camera + Video on 4.0.4 with non-stock kernels

Obsolete
This workaround was only relevant some time ago while custom kernels did not yet have updated sources from Samsung to work on 4.0.4 ROMs. This is no longer the case so this info is completely irrelevant now.
There are plenty of people complaining about camera and video playback problems when using custom kernels on the newest 4.0.4 builds such as XXLQ5 or XWLPM .
I tried a few things and managed to find a fix for it.
Installation
Just take the CWM zip file and apply it on your ROM. It will leave a backup of the 2 files that will be replaced.
Removal
The Restore zip can be "installed" to remove the patched files and put back the original ones that were kept on your device.
Tested and working both for Camera preview and Video playback, on XWLPM.
Note: This is a temporary fix until the kernel devs have enough information to properly update their code, and when that happens this fix can be uninstalled.

Heyy Tungstwenty, another great fix by you!
Well done, it works great! Now also videoplayback works fine with siya on 4.0.4!
Now the only thing left not working on 4.0.4 with Siya is the bluetooth...
Thanks again!

he he he go 4.04 gooo!
Thanks man.

Hi @Tungstwenty
Time to go OUT of stock Kernel XWLPM and move to Siyha Kernel, thanks a lot my friend...
Cheers

Thanks again for the fix.
But I found a mayor problem with custom 4.0.3 kernels on 4.0.4 firmware.
This bug is, to my opinion, so big, it's not worth anymore to use a custom 4.0.3kernel on 4.0.4...
I tested this with all Siya kernels 3.3.2 and above.
Try this to reproduce this bug:
1)Put on your wifi
2) Reboot your device with wifi on.
3) Go to: settings-display-brighteness/ Try to change a value, and see if it sticks.
It doesn't. For example: I had it on autobrightness. Can't get it off autobrighteness anymore, with wifi turned on.
But it is not only brighteness settings. Other settings cannot be made also with wifi on. For example put lockscreentext on your lockscreen. You can't; it doesn't show on the lockscreen. And probably many other settings have the same problem..
When I turn off wifi, and reboot, all off a sudden I can make the changes, and they stick.
Then i flashed CFroot 4.0.4 kernel. Now I can make changes with wifi on...
Can anybody try and see if they can reproduce this issue?
Thanks in advance...
EDIT: SOLVED by doing a wipe.
It must have been some old data from the nandroid data backup I restored.
Normally I don't post stuff like this if I'm not completely sure.
But the strange part of this story remains that I did had the above issues with one kernel and not with the other.
So I guessed it was kernel related.
This turned out to be a false conclusion.

Thanks for the tips!

I actually had that happen to me when i was on Neat Rom. Don't know what caused it but I ended up switching roms.

Just did the test now and when I was about to post the results I saw your edit
I'm using 3.3.3d XWLPG and installed a minimal deodexed XWLPM as a secondary ROM to work on this fix.
I did the steps you mentioned (for brightness level and for lockscreen owner info) and didn't manage to find any problems, so I'm glad it now works for you as well.
BTW, was it a full wipe or wipe cache/dalvik?

I'm getting offtopic here, because it has nothing to do with your camera fix
But I'm still investigating the matter now as we speak.
When on Siya, only a full wipe solves the problem I have above.
Because I'm curious(And lazy), I restored my Nandroid Data backup again(XWLPG nandroid with Siya 3.3.2) I only restore data.
Then I have the above problem again.
Now the strange part: Also Dorimanxx Kernel solves my problem.
So this thing I have, seems to be contained to SIYA kernel.
When I flash back to Siya, I have the problem again.(All new Siya versions tested)
Flashing then to any other Kernel, problem solved again.
But Siya can't be the problem also, because when I fully wipe also Siya will work.
I'm going further back to an older Siya to try if it makes any difference, but I think this will become one of the "android secrets" I will never find the cause of...
Sorry for the offtopic.

I don't think it's offtopic
This is indeed very strange, but here's a possible explanation:
The custom kernels (Siyah, Dorimanxx, ...) each have their own tweaks; they're not exactly the same. While they might share lots of common changes and improvements, they do have different things hence the word "custom".
There's a possibility that the sequence of events to make the camera work is contained not only on the binaries (the ones in the zip file I posted), but also on some cached data that was already picked up when you first ran the camera app, which invoked a service, which in turn invoked a library, etc. Later, when reopening the camera, now with the "fixed" binaries, there might still be bad data that a particular kernel is not expecting. Even if you came from Siyah when initially running the camera app, the original libraries might have cached strange data that the kernel will no longer recognize even after the binaries are now in line with the kernel. And another kernel might have code that is lenient enough to still work with it.
I have been fiddling with the bluetooth part to try to make it work, and this was exactly one of my steps. Whenever attempting code changes, I wiped all the data to make sure the device is starting fresh and if it doesn't work, it isn't due to bad starting data but only the code.
Unfortunately, none of the several things I tried worked and I don't think it's very likely I'll find a solution for bluetooth.

This is just a fix for Camera + Video. I know bluetooth is also not working but as I posted before, I tried to fix it as well but don't think it's doable without changing the kernels. Kernel devs will have to find a way to fix it.

If you're using stock kernel you can (should) uninstall my camera/video hack. It's only needed for custom kernels.

In the Galaxy Note forums it appears that hardcore has fixed the bluetooth in 4.0.4 sammy roms
It seems to be a kernel issue like Tungstwenty said earlier

Best to repeat this message in the Siya thread, and/or send Gokhanmoral this info by PM. He might be able to use Hardcore's sources to fix bluetooth in Siya kernel...
Edit: I see you allready did that. Thanks again! Maybe soon we can have working bluetooth with a custom kernel, that would be great!

my autorotation stopped working :((

I tried flashing diff roms with full wipe. No luck
Is this hardware fault u think? Where is the sendor located?

Download this app, called Sensor View:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bytemystery.sensorview&hl=ro
and switch to accelerometer, orientation, and gyro, and see if it shows anything when you move the device. If it doesn't, it probably is a hardware problem.

Had this once
Hi,
I also had this once with Android Revolution HD (4 or earlier..) Programs like the suggested showed absolutely no reaction from the gyroscope so I really thought I ruined something.
Wiped everything and flashed a stock rom, that helped at last.
It might however actually be the gyroscop defect...

I tried the app. The values didnt change.
My gyroscope isnt working either btw tried few games and can steer to left and right.
Im gonna do a stock flash and if it still dont work, deliver it in for warranty fix.
I'll let u know if its a software issue.

I am running stock rom and I don't know if the Note 2 is supposed to work upside down (I use it like that all the time when I am charging it in portrait mode) but it doesn't so I installed Ultimate Rotation Control (a hold over from the stock nexus 7 rom days when it wouldn't autorotate). It should work in your situation, try it and let us know.

Same thing happened to me but i found out it was kernel related, im on omega rom and im now using neak, all ok now.

I flashed omega 7 and it worked. but then i flashed redpill kernel and it didnt work again

that's good

Ok here's the dilema..
perseus and redpill give the autorotation/gyroscope problem. while Neak, Notecore and other kernels that dont have fatex support dont give that issue!
The sad part is that I MUST have fatex support so i can swap my ext sd with int sd.
any other kernels besid eredpil & persues that lets me do that??
also .. the main q is... why did this suddenly start happening? I used those kernels before without any gryo/rotation issues.

ok... flashed a few times and now its working as it did before.
running wanam rom + perseus and ext/int sd swap!

Had the same issue...i was swapping between cm 10.1 and jb leak and suddenly autorotation was all over the place(not coming back to portrait) even after reflashing clean instal(cm10.1 or jb leak)...for me the fix was kind off lucky...disabled(unselect) calibration in cm10.1 under system settings/system/calibration and it all came back to normal...
may come handy for others too

I finally fixed my GPS issues!
The following description worked for me:
1. Download a stock ROM (DHD_WWE_3.12.405.1_STOCK_rooted_by_nitr00.zip)
2. Put the ROM in root folder of SD-card
3. Full Wipe (using 4EXT-Recovery)
4. Flash stock ROM via Recovery
5. If your bootloader is HTCdev unlocked don't forget to flash the stock ROM boot.img via fastboot
6. Reboot
7. Check with GPS Test (or similar) if you receive some satellites and if you get a fix
8. Reboot again to recovery
9. Flash JellyTime ROM
10. Flash G-APPS
11. once again-> don't forget to flash the JellyTime ROM boot.img via fastboot if your bootloader is HTCdev unlocked
12. Reboot
I get a GPS fix now in about 6 to 10 seconds. I am so glad!

Camera and video sometimes takes a couple of reboots before it is working. Not sure why this is the case but it does solve the issue for me.

fix libril -> mobile data drains the battery
[low priority]
enable apps2sd -> 2GB internal should suffice for the time being
check if cm supports proximity & light sensors -> they do work fine
fix mass_storage -> mtp is working
fix video recording -> it's a phone not a camcorder
fix video playback -> at least they are running
fix camera -> it's a phone dammit

(My mind is a swirling miasma of scintillating thoughts and turgid ideas.)​

What are the requirements ? I guess I should use the only recovery available for the device ? and also, since we don't have s-off working for this device I think we have to flash the boot.img right ?

I'd recommend using the recovery from this build for the job. It won't crash unlike the philz version.
And no, you don't need to flash boot seperately. The only requirement is an unlocked bootloader.
S-ON only protects hboot and radio from flashing so you can safely install this release from the recovery.
Don't forget to backup your current system.

I'm downloading the files now, will test and report ASAP

Can i promote this in 2 german Forums? ist German translation available?
when do you think you will fix wifi?
HUGE THANKS IN FORWARD FOR COMPILING CM!

After the experiment:
the Rom stable and fast, but Wi-Fi does not work and do not contain FM radio
Front camera not working
I wish you success in your work and I hope you update the version of Android to be higher than 4.1.2
Thank you very much ..

Ah yes FM. It's included in the custom libaudio that can't connect to the speaker.
Which I currently simply replace with the stock lib to make it work as a phone so it can be used to test battery consuption etc.
Sadly the cm apps used for fm won't compile for me. So even if I get libaudio working FM would still be untestable without non cm apps.
I'll add it to the todo once the libaudio trouble is resolved.
The wifi is an annoying issue. I manged to get it to load the drivers so the p2p0 socket gets created.
But it tries to restart it as STA which if my google fu is correct it shouldn't do, since this firmware does not need restarting.
The front camera is a curious bug. It works absoluetly fine for me until I point it towards my face.
So it's either a problem with the proximity sensor or the nasty htc camera tries some facial recognition crap and dies.
If I ever decide to logcat the camera I can tell you more.
Now for a higher version, don't get your hopes up. At least not from my side.
First I'll try my best to fix this up. Then I'll wait for htc to release the kernel so I can get a closer look at the configuration
for this device and maybe adjust it to make this rom even better. Then again the last kernel I compiled was 10 years ago for a gentoo install.

If you are quick it will install fine. So if you prefer to live dangereously, don't let me stop you
I don't know if it is only an error that is presented on my device. Or maybe it was updated since then.
But for me philz recovery by SPSPawn does boot into a dead state. If you reboot it will crash until a panic reset is triggered.
Actually it is allready crashed while you are in recovery. Therefore you are on a timer until the device resets or you decide to
take out the battery.
I had the same problem on my build and it was caused by cwm always ignoring the ueventd.rc I had prepared because I didn't know
I had to copy it to root and not to recovery.
I've never bothered to figure out which missing element of this script was responsible because I had to substitute it in any case.
But honestly, tell me. Why do you prefer philz? I'm allready (so far unsuccessfully) trying to port twrp. If you have a few good arguments
I might be willing to try compiling a fixed version of philz aswell.

Well i didnt want to use a pc right now ... A TWRP port would be amazing
Is mobile data working?
Can you make your recovery flashable via cwm?

It always tried to download the google language pack for my region until I aborted it. So, yes mobile data should be available.
You mean put the recovery into an update zip thingy, right. Well I could, but you will have used a pc before I'll find the time to upload it.
I'll keep it in consideration for the next update.

Well, atleast internet
When do you think you'll fix wifi?

Regarding to wifi, it will be fixed once it's fixed. Or if you prefer the usual response: When it's done.
This will happen either after or before libaudio is fixed. And that's about as specific as I can get.

Well, it was worth a try still thanks for your effort!

Okay, here goes.
First I tried installing the ROM with the PhilZ recovery because I already had it on my phone, didn't work. Gave me some kind of error (not sure about the error code anymore). Flashed your recovery, worked flawlessly. Now for the ROM.
It's pretty stable, I've had only one strange crash and that was in the first 2 minutes of using it so I don't even know if it counts. The additional CM settings panel works fine, quick toggles are ok, I haven't tried overclocking yet - I'll leave that to someone else. But I have found some bugs:
-proximity sensor not working (screen doesn't go black when you place it up to your ear)
-ambient light sensor not working (auto brightness doesn't work)
-video recording doesn't work
-the camera app glitched up the first time I tried to zoom (was fine afterwards)
-sometimes when going from portrait to landscape I got 1 second of weird graphical glitches
-signal indicator seems to be stuck at 2 out of 4 bars and doesn't move
Overall very nice, keep up the good work!

I guess wifi isnt working for you right?

It's not working, but I didn't put it on the list since he already knows it's bugged.

Well, i'll try today
Lets see what happens

Anyway, forgot to unpack the file ... GApps come with it?
SOOO, booting went fine, working like a charm... quicksettings page not available, quicksettings bar is working properly
Mobile Data works flawless, and i guess the rest is just fine
German language worked instantly
it feels way faster then Sense, a HUGE Thanks for you, makes me actually like that phone again ...
I'd like to promote it in German forums if i WiFi is fixed in near future
regards!

No, you have to get gapps on your own. Since there are multiple options you can choose for yourself. But if you did not format system,
as I've mentioned in the install instructions, chances are high that google apps did get picked up by the install script.
I am not sure if it can take them from the stock rom but it can and will take them from a cm rom and keep them on reinstall.
(I am really not very pleased by this behavior!)
I also should have mentioned that the primary language is decided by the simcard. (Which is annoying since I prefer english in any case)
Randnotiz:
Es freut mich das ich Dir den Spass am Gerät zurückgeben konnte.
Natürlich darfst Du es in deutschen Foren weiterverbreiten sobald die gröbsten Fehler behoben sind.
Einzige Vorraussetzung ist, daß Du es nicht als Deine Arbeit ausgibst.

Wow. That's much more broken than I expected it to be. Kudos.
Regarding the sensors. I currently am using the stock lib. And logcat let's me assume that they are working as they should.
(i.e they don't crash or drift into madness afaik)
Maybe the stock lib doesn't play well with cm, or you are expecting features from cm that are not implemented.
I will definetly try to compile a working sensor lib in the future, so I guess we'll see....
Camera is also just the stock lib for now. So it's no surprise that somethings might be acting up.
I need a lot of research into that subject before I can specify the requirements for the camera in my boardconfig.
The graphical glitches are rather minor and can be ignored for now. I am aware they exist.
But for now I'd rather focus on the more prominent broken features.
Like wireless for those of us that can't or won't use mobile data. (I belong to the 2nd group)
I noticed the signal indicator aswell. but that should be a problem of the radio compatibility.
We can't flash radio and I'm using the stock libril as the radio interface which should give maximum compatibility in theory.
Of course it doesn't irl... typical -_- (I hate you, Murphy!)

Why did you remove your avatar? I really wanted to make some "stop trying to kill spoderman" remark...
@all:
Does anyone have any clue how to use the mock locations for gps? They are enabled, but so far I couldn't find any way to set them to a specific location.
