My results

Hi,

I did some tests with patch 2.

Below my results:

-> Camera

The back camera is working well. When I took a foto, the zoom and flash LED is working. The foto is saved and with good quality.

The front camera is not working as expected. I'm able to change from back to front camera, however if i try take a foto the apk crashed.

-> Video

With 720p I'm able to start recording, however I saw a lot of frezes and after some time recording the apk crashed. Need be improved.

With 480p I'm able to start recording and during the recording I don't saw freezes. With 480p the Video recording is OK. The video is saved without problems.

The front camera is working well. I'm able to start recording and I don´t saw any freezes. The video is saved without problems.

-> Panorama

Works well. I didn't saw any issue.

I think when I switch from back camera to front camera this action is a bit slow.

When I press the button to take a foto, the camera do a zoom automatically.

However, i tested the zoom with "Camera ZOOM FX" apk and works well.

Camera + Bravia Engine

Hey, guys!!!!

Thanks A LOT for this development for the patchs! My rear camera is working like HELL NEVER! For patch 1, it was making phone reboot after FC from stock camera, but now, it's PERFECT with patch 2.

My idea here is: is the famous BRAVIA Engine compatible with the patchs? I'm thrilling to have a full functional cam, and with the BRAVIA working shiny it would great!

Anyone tried to combine them? (I can't do it because I'm out of town and don't have a proper PC to make this tests for now...)

Again, THANKS A LOT for the camera fix!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] bigboss2200:
Reporting back.. touch to focus wasn't actually working under the first patch.. but there was a patch called "Camera_fix_ancora.zip" which had the touch to focus functionality "although it wasn't working well and I couldn't take any photo with it".. I can provide the patch here if necessary.. please see the attached photo, when I first opened the camera under ancora patch, it told me to "touch to focus", and I was able to move the rectangle freely "where I want to focus"..
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] azrieqb:
Does this mean no more juice drained cos of the camera? Anybody notice the battery discharged after applying the fix?

Hi all! A report on camera patch 2.

I have tested camera patch 2 with Barcode Scanner from ZXing Team. It's free on Play Store.

I'm able to scan a few barcode and randomly it will cause the phone to freeze or non responsive. So have to restart or power off the phone.

Seems like the freeze is happening randomly.

Any one else having the same issue?

Thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mirred:
Thank you all for testing!

I have the last idea how to fix everything by one shot. I will try it in a week, maybe earlier. If my "last" idea does not work, we have to wait for ivendor fixes for i9001. Maybe he has some other good ideas.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mirred:
For some reason I don't like HTC HAL wrapper which is used now. It is full of hacks to make preview working. Because of that I decided to switch to another HAL implementation. This one https://github.com/KangXperiaProject/android_hardware_qcom_camera

I've prepared a new patch for testing with a new HAL wrapper implementation.

Also I fixed "touch-to-focus" in this patch.

720p video recording does not work, but I have some ideas now.

Nice to test:

- barcode scaner

- face recognition

- battery drain for 3rd party app

- ?

Sources are attached.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] oisis:
Will be working for i9001?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mirred:
No, it will work only on i8150. There is my very specific fix for i8150. I will try to make sources platform independant with the next patch.

This patch is proove of concept, not the final revision.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] bigboss2200:
I'll test that and report back.. thank u so much for ur hard work!!!!!

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] iSadic:
Can I do anything else for test?

If not, can I reflash without problems the patch 2?

EDIT: the camera isn't laggy as I report in previous post, in Shopsavvy too ;)

Reporting back;

Taking photo works, but the front and rear cameras are laggy.. touch to focus works, thanks a bunch ^_^ .. face recognition works.

EDIT: bar code (qr code) scanner works, a bit laggy though, like the camera.. also pattern after face recognation fail works too..

Whats left to test is video recording, panorama, 3rd party apps "battery watch", and a couple of other stuff..

Compatibility of the patchs

Guys,

Are the patches being tested here compatible with MIUI / AOKP ROMs, or only for PURE CM9???
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] rom2007:
It should work w/ all ics roms w/ cm9 base.

for me:

touch-to-focus is working(but it is some laggy)

480p video is some laggy

video with font camera is not working

face unlock is very laggy

and Thank You for the developing
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] bigboss2200:
Reporting a wonderful battery consumption !! .. The mobile used to drain something like 15 to 20% for 6 hours while idle, now its only 2% ..!!!

I Think u can guess where are the 6 hours I'm talking about.. Patch 2 is faster, thats true, but touch to focus and battery consumption are important (atleast for me) ..

My suggestion is to try to improve this patch since it has more things working, the only "semi-major" issue is the lag "delay time" while the camera is working.. in other words; you feel as the camera is going in 10fps while moving the phone around before even taking any picture or video..

Only a suggestion, and seriously, I can't thank you enough :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mirred:
I didn't have time to check the logs from the last patch, but I hope the patch will work better after last updates in kernel implemented by arco.

In any case I will investigate it.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] bigboss2200:
mirred, do you need a logcat or something..? Is there anything else we can help you with apart from testing and reporting..?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mirred:
You have already found all areas which should be checked. Thanks a lot for that!

I will reproduce it and collect logs myself.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mystique9:
thanks mirred for posting camera patch 3 for testing.

Tested Barcode Scanner from ZXing Team. Able to scan barcode.

But the view finder seems laggy/low frame rate/jerky.

Tested face unlock and it worked too.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] bigboss2200:
Well thanks to u for taking your precious time to make our camera works under ICS :) ..

As a side note: video recording didnt work for me "in 480" .. it shows a time running.. but once u stop recording, the file is not saved.. dunno if its only me, but that was my experiense

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Ultra9k:
Patch 3 seems to be somehow more stable than the others. I think patch 2 was making my device unstable even while not using the camera, I had to restart it sometimes with patch 2. The video doesn't work now in patch 3 though.

Concerning the camera lag, it's not too significant at all.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Brian_SGW_CM9:
Sorry but I disagree. Even in normal camera. It lags too much
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Just Another★Gamer:
Sorry but I act actually think that patch 1 was more stable than 3 and a whole lot more stable than 2. I'm still using 1 and it works great.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] bigboss2200:
Using a 3rd parry app still drains the battery.. i used a QR Reader, scanned a code, then left mobile for 6 hours, and it fell down by 50%..
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mirred:
Could you please make a small test?

1. Reboot the phone

2. Run CM9 camera and make some photos.

3. Close the camera

4. Collect logcat by the command adb logcat > logcat_stock.txt

5. Collect dmesg by the command adb shell dmesg > dmesg_stock.txt

6. Reboot the phone

7. Run 3rd party app, make some photos or something.

8. Close the camera

9. Collect logcat by the command adb logcat > logcat_3rd_party.txt

10. Collect dmesg by the command adb shell dmesg > dmesg_3rd_party.txt
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] bigboss2200:
Any suggested 3rd party app??

EDIT: alright I'll use silent camera.. I'm generating the logs right now.. give me a couple of minutes :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] bigboss2200:
Alright.. so what I did is the following:

1. Reboot the phone

2. Run CM9 camera and make some photos. (had a force-close at first.. its first time to face such a thing to be honest, then I successfully took 3 photos)

3. Close the camera

4. Collect logcat by the command adb logcat > logcat_stock.txt

5. Collect dmesg by the command adb shell dmesg > dmesg_stock.txt

6. Reboot the phone

7. Run 3rd party app, (silent camera), make some photos or something. (took 4 photos, i had to preview the image after each capture, camera preview didn't start again for some reason except if I preview the image first then return to silentcamera.. )

8. Close the camera

9. Collect logcat by the command adb logcat > logcat_3rd_party.txt

10. Collect dmesg by the command adb shell dmesg > dmesg_3rd_party.txt

logs are available in the attached file.. please tell me if there is anything else I can provide you with, I'll be more than happy to do so.. and thank you for your efforts..!

My camera is working fine.

I've found a file in this forum, a kind of "camera update" and only flash it without reset or wipe anything and my camera is working fine to take pics in 5mp. I only get something on the front camera that is not working good. But just to take good pics again mede me stay with ICS 4.0.4

Portuguese: Eu fiz um download de um arquivo aqui no Forum, um tipo de Camera Update e instalei e funcionou normal. A camera esta fotografando novamente com uma qualidade que só o Galaxy W tinha isso me motivou a ficar com o ICS instalado. Obs. A camera frontal funciona para chamadas de videos normal só para fotos que nao funciona, mas na camera trazeira esta tirando com 5mp perfeitamente.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Scofield81:
Ola alessandrosox,

I'm Portuguese too.

In this thread you have the last patch (3) that put camera working.We are helping developers testing their camera patch.

I believe soon we will have a camera working 100%. If you want help developers only need come to this thread and do what they are asking. It's easy: D

I do not know if you're newer in this forum, but you also have other threads that help solve some bugs in CM9 (ex. FM radio).

Patch Report

After 2 weeks (aproximatedly) testing all patches, here is my notes (I'm not a developer, don't know how to debug or logcat... sorry)

- Patch 1, at first usage, was extremely unstable and not working, at the point of neither taking pics (simply wasn't working). Tried it for about 3 days.

- Installed Patch 2. The camera finally started working, taking pics and allowing to enter panorama and "video recorder", but not photografing/recording at these modes... The phone started to get laggy with simple actions, daily-usage apps (phone, callendar, gmail, play store, etc). used for 5 days

- Installed Patch 3. At this point, I REALLY get a unstable phone, FC and rebooting for no reason. Simply it got SO laggy and Buggy, that E couldn't even make phone calls, receive SMS or EMAIL. My bluetooth wasn't working, and crashing at the conection (to other devices). My Wifi image got laggy in notification bar (was conected, bug the "icon" wasn't even apearing), the 3G got to "Stone Age". Well... it FU*%ED with my phone. Stayed with it for 2 days (yeah, I stayed 2 days unspeakeable...)

- Wen't Back to Patch 1. Right now, THIS IS THE BEST PATCH I EVER USED, even made my phone smoother after the update! Maybe there was an adjustment made withing the Patch 2 and 3 that made the 1 faster, functional and, better, I can take pics in 5MP, view Panorama, FrontCam is working (but not taking pics) and video starts, but crashes.

I didn't wipe anything between the changes of the Patches.

Thrilling to get a FULL CAMERA, Guys!

Thanks mirred, arco68, sparta and all devs for this updates!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] HeadbangerBR:
Here's what I did:

01. Installed official I8150BJVLM2 via Odin (downloaded at SamFirmware)

02. Installed CWM6 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1446593)

03. Wiped all the things

04. Installed CM9

- Camera and Pudding Camera opened and showed the image, but was unable to take pics.

05. Installed Patch 1

- Camera and Pudding Camera was perfectly taking pics. Pudding Camera was able to take pics with front camera. Unable to video recording (the image was shown, but the record button wasn't making anything).

06. Installed Patch 2

- Camera and Pudding Camera perfectly taking pics. Front camera didn't work anymore with Pudding Camera. Video started recording laggy, but didn't save. Panorama worked with a few bugs.

07. Installed Patch 3

- Camera perfectly taking pics, Pudding lags like hell and both apps FC when take front camera pics. Panorama fully working. Video still laggy and didn't save.

08. Reinstalled Patch 1

- Same results as Patch 1, but with Panorama working with a few bugs (few of green on extreme bottom of image) and faster camera.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mirred:
Thank you all for good testing of all 3 patches!

I did some investigation during last week.

First of all I have to say that experiment with new HAL was not successful. Preview is slow by design in new HAL. Hardware acceleration for preview does not work in new HAL with current kernel and it did a lot of stupid calls on every preview frame. I will switch back on HTC hal.

Also I’ve checked the problem with battery drain when 3d party app is used. CM9 camera clears all resources when it stops. All other camera implementations don’t do the same. I will try to implement these in libcameraservice in the next patch. I hope it will solve the problem.

Other plans:

There is the fix for i9001 which solves the problem with camera crash when the front camera is used. It is already mapped in arco git and will be included next time.

Orientation of front camera from 3rd patch will be included. There was the report that front camera orientation is wrong with the second patch.

P.s. Waiting for a new release from arco with fix for 720p video recording. :)
