maybe you will need to replace the "firmware"folder in that zip with firmware folder of gingerbread for you device
also the same procedure for the "media_profile.xml" in etc...
this could work:
just take that zip in my post, replace firmware folder and the media_profile.xml with the ones of your latest gingerbread...
and follow the installation instructions in my post

look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26511647&postcount=428
you can see whats working and whats not working...
you can use the camera_experimental-0.1.zip
but you need to replace the firmware folder and the media_profile.xml in that zip with the ones of the latest gingerbread for your device
and do not forget to follow the installation instructions
for your further development on camera, you can also use these "instructions for camera testers"
(maybe you will add these to post#1 of this topic here)
--------------------------
here are instructions for camera testers:
Few important things:
1. make notes, because we will need it to restore steps.
2. make a logcat:
Code:
adb logcat -d > logcat.txt
if you want, edit logs like that (less logs - easier to read, logs only related with camera):
Linux shell:
Code:
cat ./logcat.txt | grep camera > logcat.new.txt
Windows cmd:
Code:
type logcat.txt | findstr camera > nwelogcat.txt
3. If you will find in log that HAL cannot connect with camera do not post logs, because they are useless
4. Do not zip or rar logs = easier to read on phone
----------------------------------
Additional Links:
You can try files from these phones.
Phones with MSM8255:
- CDMA XPeria Play
- LG Revolution
- HTC Desire S
- Sony xperia mini,mini pro, neo etc - camera works
- My touch 4g - camera works
- Xperia play - camera works
- Htc desire s - camera works
- Huawei honor - official ICS
- Htc one V - no front camera but official ICS
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639634
Thanks to: Spider550 for links, he cannot post here yet.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
if you make a logcat, do not forget to post which files you used.
folders for all files:
do not forget to set permissions for changed files/folders like all other files/folders there... and reboot after all changes you made!
*.so files to /system/lib
media_profile.xml to /system/etc
camera.apk to /system/app
firmware files to /system/firmware (maybe you have to create a folder)
---------
now you can start with testing.
for logcat = shutdown device - boot - start camtests - after that make a logcat directly.

open the zip file, delete the folder "firmware" and push your firmware folder from the latest gingerbread of your device on that place...
the same do with media_profile.xml

I don't have the line you showed. I only have this one;
<shared-user name="android.uid.shared" userId="10007">
Should I delete this one instead?
When installing from market, it says this
"Incompatible with other applications using same shared user ID"

Working great....thanks Leo !!!

[ROM][Build 4][2/27/2013][Beta][Need People To Test Speed & Battery][Fully Working]
Hello everyone, I'm a dev over at the Droid DNA and I'm working on porting my rom over to this device. I don't want to make it an official rom just yet since it's a blind port (yeah I don't have this device ) but I would really appreciate it if some people could help me out. Its Based Off 3.14 and is a Sense 4+ Rom
Here's the link to the original rom thread if any of you are interested in checking out what will be included: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2111723
You can download the latest test build right here: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390334956548391202
also use the kernel of your choice when you flash this. You have to get one, i recommend trying this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136731
Anyone can jump in and contribute to this! It's very much appreciated too

where did it fail?
did it go through the aroma installer. if so theres an option to "save log" in the bottom left. click it and send me the log. the file ends up in download folder

it gets to the end of the aroma installer then says:
format0 expects 5 args.got3
i click save logs but cannot find the logs after reboot (i looked in the download folder and other places)

. I got to have the log to find the error
the log has to go somewhere, for me it is in the download folder and is .txt

i've searched every file on my sdcard ten times over but no log to be found...
i noticed just before booting into aroma your splash screen popped up but it was way too big for the screen...
the one x uses 720 x 1280 pixels whilst your evo 4g uses 800×480 (i have tried some skins from the 4g they install but can't be used) might that be the problem..?

AOSP browser without root (yes you read that right) 4.3

I have a method to install the aosp browser without any root privileges at all and no modifications of the system partition. Just involves installing 2 or 3 apks (depending if you want bookmark syncing). This should work on any of the other nexus devices that came without stock browser. This is also an improvement over the root method as it does not break OTA updates even on rooted devices.
Please don't repost this yet. I want to add in the other languages to browser.apk for the "find on page" button in the menu. I fixed English. The stock nexus roms don't have the string in framework-res for this one button.
Download zip (this is not a cwm package/just extract it or open the files from inside)
http://www.mediafire.com/download/sp3778itcps5iq1/aospbrowser-noroot-blackhand1001.zip
Steps:
1. Use es file manager to browse to system/app and install browserproviderproxy (it will say app not installed, don't worry it worked)
2. Reboot (it will not work without rebooting first)
3. Install Browser4.3_blackhand1001.apk
4. Install ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter_blackhand1001.apk (this will give you bookmark syncing)

Thanks for this. Works very well on my devices.

Updated it so the autocomplete dropdown no longer has the blue line glitch. The style definition for the dropdown is missing on the stock nexus 7 rom so I copied it and put it in the browser itself and pointed to it there.
Added User agent selection in advanced preferences.
Full screen option in labs.

when u say install browserproviderproxy in system/app, do you mean install the one found in the nexus7 directory, or the one in your zip file?

The one on the nexus 7 directory. I updated the download link. It now has user agent selection and a fullscreen mode in the labs menu. The link was pointing to an older version that still had the browserproxyprovider file in the zip. You need to use the one on the device already.

Perfect on new Nexus 7
THANK YOU. This worked PERFECTLY on my new nexus 7. I love the tablet but for me Chrome is nowhere near as good and useful as this stock browser, so thanks a lot.

Since I was rooted anyhow, I ended up using the root AOSP Browser installation app from the market.
We will see if the bookmark sync works with that (it's supposed to)

I tried this on top of ViperX407 and it's a real mess... First, i just pushed apk's into /system/app then i forgot about permissions - blinkfeed worked. Then i set the permissions to 644 and then the problems started A lot of FC's.
Maybe it has some problems with viper's framework....
Thanks for sharing anyway. Next I'll try it on a clean stock 4.2.

Ok..the FC of com.htc.bgp happens when the weather can't sync correctly.
Well, you can try install the apps like normal apps and push com.htc.sense.hsp-1 into system/framework. The problem is related to this apk.

i think wait a bit about a flashable zip with all in one... becaus ei need a working device this afternoon !!

Yep no problem... i will follow with attention because i love try new stuff but better when it work for daily usage !

Hi EndeavorU, thanks for sharing your work! Since I get constantly fc I have a doubt regarding a step: 1. Push every apks from main folder to system/app and set them to rw--r--r 2. Before overwriting prism's apk with the one in Prism1 folder should I reboot?

Well, I re-installed this mod in Revo 33.1 and 4.18 Stock ROM.
I pushed the files (using es file manager with system rw , obviously) into system/apps.
Try to push ONLY the file in the main directory(so don't touch the file into the folder) . Rember to set the permissions.
Then,when you rebooted, install prism1 like a normal app.
