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!
Hello. I have a problem whit my galaxy nexus maguro device. When i install something different then stock google images 4.1.2 or stable "cm-10.0.0-maguro.zip" i have a problem whit screen when i'm during my phone call. Every time i install something different for exp: stock 4.2.1 or 4.2.2 or every custom rom (xylon,pa,xenon,slim bean etc. etc. ) and when i starting a conversation my screen of course is off but when i geting off my phone from ear screeen whant to turn on and it is almost every single time i having a phone call.I was trying every basband,rom, kernel and always i the same result -screen issue. Of corse when i'm on 4.1.2 or cm-10.0.0-maguro.zip there is no problem. so my question is WTF ? Please try to forgive me for my english - this is not my thing

Ok so from what i understand you mean that the screen doesn't turn on after you hang-up a call? or during a call? if it's during a call make sure you aren't covering the sensor on the right side of the ear piece .. also if thats not that problem it might be highly possible that your proximity sensor is broken :-S

So if my proximity sensor is broken why i don't have a problem whit this on CM 10 ( stable realese ). Screen doesn't turn on if the person from the other side hang-up me first. An update of my screen problem : i'm on Paradigm 3.1 right now and diamond044 kernel from AK and so far my screen doing great ( the autoBrightness is turn on ). Xylon, Xenon HD,Puity etc - every kernel, clean install bla bla bla thre is a screen issue... I don't get it ?

Is your screen protector covering the proximity sensors? My screen protecter once covered them and I had the same issues but when i removed it, it worked again
If you are using a custom kernel, try up-ing you min screen off setting in trickster mod.
I used to get a lot of these problems. But not any more since I am on Diamond series of AK kernel.
I am using these settings: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38030897
hello,
i recently installed sjb 7.1 in my xperia arc and it seems works very well ( i had 5.5 version after ). The only thing is that the sound volume don't works, it sounds but you can't change the volume level in any way. I need help to fix it, anyone can help me?
thanks for all and sorry for my english.

Hi all the members.upgraded to the latest lewa ROM 5v4
but,I was experiencing wifi bug.if you press the wifi it bricks the mobile.I mean softbrick.until you reinstall rom it wont boot.I am sure DEV will act soon.
.
.so my friend @mbahwonk helped and got the previous version.which is totally stable
the link is below
https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0Bxt5rI-7J8qhT2NIeG5fVkVHdk0&export=download
enjoy friend.be stable again
Thank you. I ran into the wifi problem after install the new version too.
Question. Does this one has any obvious bugs and is everything working in this version?

There's nothing special to be done, but yes, sometimes it's stuck in bootloop. What I usually do is:
Hard reset, wipe everything except microsd, delete the zip from sd card, copy it again and install again.
Idk why it needs sometimes to be flashed again, but that way it will boot for sure. A normal first boot with this rom should be around 7 minutes

is there any bugs in this rom ? is it stable and support the Dual sim configuration means both sim card can be detected ? cuz am using HadesRom v4.5 it's cool! but i get fed up from the TOUCHWIZ and i want the original google roms give my A5 2017 the full power of CPU and GPU ! more faster and more powerful but with the original looks heavy sometimes after maybe a month of using !
thnx if you reply bro

In the current build, the biggest problem is that the buttons dont light up, but I fixed that in the meantime, just haven't uploaded it yet. The other noticeable issue is that the battery life is not perfect. I'm working on it too. The radio isn't working yet, but you don't use it, there's nothing more.
I don't know about dual sim, since I have the normal one.
Does anybody else face a problem of a laggy front camera using apps like snapchat/messenger/instagram?
Thank you very much for this rom bro
problems are :
The Rom :
- Didn't detect my saved contacts on both sim cards.
- Didn't have the same quality of image but it's not bad.
- The calculator app still more than 1 min to open ( something weird)!
- Battery usage looks perfect !
- The configurations in settings gives a lot of helpful things such as the customization of the notification panel and the power menu !
.
so what i did now is that i rooted with magisk and i installed ( Root explorer R ) pro version and installed ( System apps uninstall ).
i deleted ( Calculator,Camera,browser,messaging,music player,gallery.....etc) then i installed an Alternative for them. so now i have my customized RR V6.2.0
it's awesome with root. But for who installed this rom you can go to settings and find the display PPI ( you will find it about 400ppi ) i changed it up to 424ppi( the original A5 2017 ppi ) and now works perfectly .

Friend I've been with your rom for a few days and it's the BEST ROM OF EVERYTHING! I say this in a matter of customization and having a purest experience that samsung ...
I have an A520F (two-chip model) and both are OK.
The problem is that it has some really annoying bugs as a problem to play media (especially songs that get squeaked and at first I was worried if my headphones had damaged), also has bugs in the camera that seem to limit their quality a lot, bugs in the interface in general that make the device reboot out of nowhere (it happened to me 1 or 2 times during the time I am with the rom on the device [4 days]), bugs on the physical buttons as previously said, among others ... These were the most important bugs I had with rom.
I have some suggestions for interesting implementations to make in the rom like stereo audio (it has this function in Hades), just leave the pixel launcher more notifications optimization on the always on display and one good thing I believe developers should do is provide a form of install a separate galaxy s9 camera package that is present in rom Hades for all roms.
You are doing a good job and good luck for more projects in the future. I'll probably record a YouTube video about your future rom and give you the credits.
