[31-MAY][FIX] Glitches on Ace/Desire S 2.3 ROMs - breaks Camera!

Hey guys,
just wanted to provide the fix for the graphics glitches on newer HTC 2.3 ROMs. Just replace the files from the attachment (gralloc stuff in /system/lib/hw) and the glitches will be gone. I tested it with my own Desire Ace ROM.
Maybe i forgot some dependencies, it has to be tested.
Thanks to Markinus for pointing me to it.
cheers

thanks mate. As i m a beginner, wonder what method should i use to apply your fix and other patches? Do I use the "install from .zip" method under CWM? thanks!

I get a File type not supported error on my phone after the download:-(

You have to place them in /system/lib/hw either by extracting it to your pc and uploading it to your phone via ADB, or do it on your phone somehow, or just wait for someone to make a CWM-package. I don't have a clue about CWM stuff so far, because i don't need it.

can you make cwm update .zip from this 7z file... plz
for all... its extract in PC...and than copy to sd card...and with root explorer replace files in system/lib/hw/

SO is this a fix for the sense 3.0 graphics glitches?

stability? does it kills camera?
need feedback!

uploaded a flashable zip file, based on a guide, haven't tested myself, do nandroid backup before flash!

Haha, hope this isn't another lib that kills the camera, or video playback for that matter.
I wouldn't be able to thank you enough gauner, if this works.

I replace the files....result....
The Glitches gone!!
But also the camera gone!!!!!!
Sooo I want my Glitches back

Yeah, this is just the original file that made the camera stop working, but had no glitches. Sorry gauner but this has been posted I think atleast once in each new sense 2.1+ thread, as everyone always asks how to remove glitches, but are always un aware the camera stops working..
Probably post that its the normal breaking camera file, so no one thinks its the source fix that should allow us to have a camera and no glitches coming out down the road (hopefully soon...)

close and delete this thread. completely useless.

you are not correct atleast he try

So these egl libs breaks the camera again? Can anyone confirm this?

yeah broke the cam on LeoRCMix S v.1.2 rom but the bug is still in gralloc.qsd8k.so and that broke the cam but when i replaced gralloc.default.so cam still works

Replaced only gralloc.default.so on LeoRCMix S v.1.2, camera works, weather videos became more choppy, but there are now less glitches, than it was before the fix

i noticed that but when i rebooted the phone it started to work normally.

Hmmm...might hold off until we get confirmation from more people....

No, i compiled these files myself. And i didn't notice it breaks camera, because i barely use it.

Camera fix for CyanogenMod-7-20120920-NIGHTLY-gio

View ROM thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1899615
For me it's a great ROM, it's fast and stable. THANK YOU marcin1147!!!
But it has one nasty bug that seems to have not been fixed in a long time: Captured pictures and videos are rotated.
What i did is take an older camera.apk (from phiexz's CM 7.2 20120421- Nightly; Thank you phiexz!!!) and replace the original one.
Download here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/p666az1ed9lpfo2/Camera.apk
Copy the downloaded camera.apk to your SDcard.
I used Link2sd to remove the original camera app.
Then with file manager navigate to SD card and install downloaded camera.apk
Use link2sd to make system app (so not to uninstall by mistake).
Reboot.
Enjoy!
You can also replace the camera.apk in the zip before installing the rom.
I posted here because i can't yet post in dev section. If someone wants they can move this to ROM thread...

Does this fix the rotate taken pictures bug ?

Yes it does, I've tested all day, seems to be ok, also tried several different camera settings (macro, night mode, color effects etc) and it works great.

Thank you!

Thank you for the ROM! I'm glad I could help

Wow thanks dude, I'm doing it via root explorer and its working

This fix has only one downside... Has the bug of ignoring turning off shutter sound. Is there any chance there will be another release with none of the two bugs? I mean rotation and shutter sound bugs.

Probably yes, AFAIK marcin is preparing to make it official, offcourse it will bug free
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda app-developers app

Actually for me it's already bugfree .. i installed camera patch and that the FM radio is not working i don't care (never use it ) haha but it will be cool if we have official .. just that feeling xD
Sent from my Gio using xda premium

I agree that this build is pretty cool. For me FM radio is not a issue, I do not use it. After replacing launcher with stock one and some personal tweaks it is by far best rom I ever used on GIO. So if this little bug with camera is fixed, I will be fully satisfied.

Have to find the apk and the correct libs from the old rom and then put them into your currently installed rom. Not sure if will work, but I am also interested.
What firmware version did you have before?
Edit 1: Simply pushing the apk to system/app with 644 does not work, app does not show up in appdrawer.
Edit 2: Pushed to priv-app also, now showed up in drawer and stereo recording works.
You need root for this and a filemanager with root rights, copy the apk to system/app and system/priv-app and set permissions to 644.

i dont remember last version, i do these but now when i open voice recorder i just see a black page with their button,i record with it but after finishing it closed and i found that still it record in mono.
what should i do????

P8000 can't connect to camera

Hello everyone!
I'm having trouble with the P8000 camera.
Every time I open the app, it says it can't connect to the camera and that I should close any apps that may be interfering with the camera or flash. Other apps that may use the camera give me a generic message telling me the camera can't be found or is in use.
After many, many hours : I have so far tried :
- Eragon 3.0 + camera fix (neither worked)
- Vibe 2.9
- Flyme
And I have also tried these stock roms :
- K05TS-A.A.vA0W.E1.150909 (which is the most recent available)
- K05TS-A.A.vA0L.E1.150725 (an older one since I figured I could try a downgrade)
None of these ROMs have fixed my camera that used to work fine when I first got the phone :/
Has anybody got a solution to this problem?
Thank you very much for your time

Did you format and delete caches ???

Format as in the format + download option in the SP Flash tool?

If you really made a WIPE before installating Eragon and/or Stock ROM it sounds like there might be something wrong with your phone as both of those are confirmed to work well with the camera.
And i assume we are talking about the original camera app, not any 3rd part apps?
Anyway, the original app should work even with 150725 as the camera fixes was only to address problems with 3rd part camera apps...

incorrect you need to delete caches using custom recovery then flash eragon 3.0 because ive never had any problems with eragon 3.0

Yes I'm talking about the original app
Ive played some heavy games that made my phone hot in the upper part, is it possible the heat damaged the camera?

Hello,

Anyone know a solution for this problem?
Thanks so much for reply!

Sounds like you didn't flash it well or something because my phone works with eragon 3.8
Sent from my Elephone P8000 using XDA Free mobile app

Thx for Your reply.
Before flash, the problem was the same. It means, neither cam nor flashligt doesn't work. In that reason I have to try flash into newest version.
Do you think the flash with eragon may solve my problem?
Now when I want to switch on my cam (icon in original theme) I can see alert "Device is not installed", but when I use a nova launch, support from cam doesn't exist and I can't find it.
best regards

If both cam and flashlight not working it means there is camera issue. Without camera flashlight does not work.
Check the camera connection if it is ok then need to replace the camera.

4k fix in gcam

Hello xda users!
I don't really know if similar thread exists or not (I searched but didn't found), if it does, please notify me and I'll remove my thread.
So, as you may know, the 4k recording isn't working on back cam in most gcams (at least it never works for me), but I have solution for it.
I'm not creator of this file and I don't know who is, but big thanks to him for creating flashable zip that fixes 4k recording
In order this to work, you need a gcam that supports 4k recording (has that option in settings), and if you have that just simply flash this zip through recovery.
Attention! If you flash a rom update via recovery or just do regular OTA update, you'll need to flash this again. (bc the file just edits build.prop)
Zip is in the attachments.
