Ok, so, Thanks to aread22 We have a 90% working cam, since we still dont have 720p and some effects ares still broke, but share and set as both work which was the original goal of this, and while we dont have 720p recording yet, im sure we will get there (eventually )
Heres that Cam:View attachment HTCCamera.apk
oh and btw, its from the 1.84 desire sense rom.
So things still to fix:
-720P
-Some effects (graphic intensive ones, probably gpu related)
(and i really hope some mod doesn't move this thread to q&a like my last thread, WHICH WAS NOT A Q&A THREAD)

hell, go read cmylxgos thread, hes using my fixed apk..
and one of the people collaborating with us on this is cmylxgo along with g.lewarne,dandiest and a few others should be contributing too..
ok, anyways.. i have been pouring over smali files for days, trying different files in lib,bin and from looking at the log, my current guess is that the issue lies with the recording of audio when you hit record, which it runs into an error when it tries and crashes the apk.. i dont know if thats correct and im not sure what needs to be done to fix it, but thats why we have a dev thread for eh?
How about 720 recording ...is it just not possible cause I figured someone would have figured this out by now

well, that isnt something i believe that can be done at the moment, but i do believe it is possible and from what i have read its mostly a kernel issue, seeing as how wp7 can do it on our hardware and thats all software..
but before we even approach that here, i would like to get just basic recording working with the newer camcorder function..

Which apk is the one with all the boxy border .....I hate that one, the one that comes with cmyxlo builds is the one I would love to have in my cm7 rom I'm currently on. And will it install

the boxy border? i have not seen that.. and the one in cmylxgo's rom is of course, the older one with the working camcorder function..

What about A/V sync in Sense builds? I've been flashing and flashing, and have yet to find a truly working camcorder in this regard? Is this likely to be fixed?

well, who knows? maybe the different version of the camcorder could fix it? who knows until we get it working...
i think people are more likely to be using the camera so if we get a camera,it will be a big breakthrough and then the camcorder will probably come after you figured out the camera,keep up the hard work
Keep up the good work ! And this thread deserves to be in the stickies !
Finally, I'm glad to see that you've taken the initiative to get this moving. Can this also apply to the currently non-working camera that appears in the new Gingerbread Sense build by iMilka (and for other future builds)?

well, who knows, what i would like to see is people posting logs from alogcat at the time the try to run the camera (if it fc's as soon as you open it) or when they hit record (if it fc's there)
i dont know what the issue is with the gb camera (does it fc on open?)
but i wouldn't mind if this say, became the thread where we work out camera issues on all builds
and if enough people posted log snippets, just maybe we can find a commonality and that would head us in the right direction..
as it stands im figuring that the issue lies in the kernel or the libs, with the kernel looking more likely, im figuring it needs updated code to be compatible with the newer cameras and more then likely if we can get the newer camera working here, then the gb camera would also..
logcat
here i have attached the logcat. this is my first time. so im not sure if ok. i have started the logcat and then i click the camera then it did soft reset and reboot i close the logcat.

what camera apk is this and what rom?
and do this when you post these, look at the time on your watch or computer when you hit record and mention that. as long as its set the same as your device (your pc should have its clocked auto synced just like your phone so its times should match). this way there wont be a need to do a bunch of fishing for the error in the log.. oh, and set your log type to long under alogcat preferences..
edit: ok i see this is the gingerbread rom..
and wow lots of permission errors and a java failed binder transaction then all your services die..
and another odd, it seems to be connecting to htc database servers to check for updates..
camera
Sooo.. for ex. I have frankinstein droid 1.5 rom, when i hit record it doesn't work, and i must reboot my hd2.
What i wanna install ?
Hi peep. I decided to start this thread because I don't wanna go OffTopic in the CM10 Quarx thread.
The fact is that I own a RedLense Defy, and since the first time I had it, I always tried to use Cyanogen. It was first the CM7 release, CM7.1, Cm7.2, now CM10 Quarx and Epsylon3... and in all the CMod ROM's I've had, they have the same trouble: filming quality is not good at all.
The only ROM that fit my necessities about the Defy's camera, is Walter's MS2GINGER. He did a great work there, and I've been using it for some months so far. But is a stock-based ROM (thats maybe the reason of why does it works there).
I would love to have a Cyanogen ROM with a nice filming quality. Even if its not 720p, at least a good wide 480p image. The first thing I've obviously tried is moving libraries from the "HD" zip to CM, the media XML, and some build.prop configs, but nothing happened (bootloop). So I ended thinking: its imposible to use those on CM.
So did someone try to improve filming in CyanoGen? Do anyone of you know a way to make it work, or the reason of why is it impossible on Cyanogen?
Thanks.

Do you really think so?
I thought that there was a trick now to unload fixed modules from the kernel and upload new ones that might work for this too

It means that it is POSSIBLE, I guess. :victory: And I totally think so, I don't believe a locked bootloader can make it all imposible for those with an advanced knowledge on linux and Android development.
But isn't any developer actually focused on the camera here? I searched on the forum but didn't found anything. I mean yeah, they are all fighting with the bootloader, but not to make a better camera so far.

I highly doubt it, think we'll just have to wait for a stable with better video quality options...

Sorry, I re-read the post and realized that it was only related to opengl stuff... it was not a generic workaround for kernel modules.
We still need the bootloader unlock
Cheers!

Ok I guess I'll have to say bye to a CyanoGen MOD with a proper camcorder. Stock's the choice for me.
Hi all,
I am running ViperROM on the VZW HTC One M8. I flashed the camera mod, but I'm not sure if it worked, as the camera app looks the same. Is there something specific I should see to confirm that the mod did flash correctly? If anyone can let me know, that would be great. I would reply in the camera thread, but I don't have enough posts yet to do that. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

I have the same question? Anyone?
the app itself won't necessarily look any different. the mod is to improve the quality of the images and the video.

How do we know it was successfully replaced though (mod installed).
I think it'd be a good idea to have a thread to find out whether Xposed for Oreo is working or not. In my experience it has, but at the cost of the camera functionality.
Anyone's experience with beta 2? Or workarounds for anything?
We should make an effort to produce some logs; I've already made three, and I'm just in the process of filtering them to upload to Pastebin and send them to rovo. So if you've got logs, go ahead and drop them here and I will add them to OP.

I would like instructions how to get the Full Edge Lighting working on my phone as well as my tablet. I tried the modification that were listed in ShaDisNX255 's thread of working mods for the A71, it didn't work. I know that there a couple of roms that have this included. It is a stock thing in the S21 FE port and has been added to the Fun Rom. I think on my tablet it would look great to have the full edge notifications and it would be possible as it as the basic notifications already. Hope someone can assist with this... and I'm pretty sure there are others who would like to know also. thanks in advance.
I use AODnotify on my stock A52s.
