[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] un.Known:
[2012-12-26]Announcement :

The Developing of this project will stop for a while ,cause i have a very important studying year ,my whole career future will depend on it ,not to mention the war situation in my country and the shortage of all life basics services [electricity ,food ,water ,etc]

so there will be no more developing until 01\july\2013

Sorry for the bad news

Goal :

Port Sony Camera to AOSP Roms (CM9,CM10,FXP,AOKP) for all Xperia MDPI devices and maybe for HDPI also

Story :

This Thread Was Started as A question :p

The Idea is To make the Sony Camera App the default camera app in CM9/CM10 since it's a lot prettier and also the AOSP Camera app has a small Function bar that looks ugly

Then as there is a lot of People looking up for this the Thread Turned to a Request :highfive:

Update 2012-July-06 :

I tried to port the Camera App and Libs from Mini CM Sandwich AOSP v4

The Rom has SemcCamera update in case you didn't want the AOSP camera look

I made a falshable zip (

MiniCM port.zip attachment

) of the ported files and flashed it to FXP CM9 Build 132

The Original Camera still working after flashing (because Mini CM Sandwich is AOSP based so the both roms have the same libs ,at least for the camera)

After Flashing the system updated it's apps But the SemcCamera didn't appear in the app drawer :(

After that I ported the Libs and Camera Apps from Stock firmware 4.1.B.0.431 and made a flashable zip (

Stock port.zip attachment

) with them and flashed them to FXP CM9 Build 132

after flashing the system has update also but the Original CM9 Camera didn't work (force closing) because the difference in the libs

as for the SemcCamera it didn't appear in the app drawer also :crying:

So, Any one knows what to do ?? (Please Help) :fingers-crossed:

My Device Is Xperia Mini Pro SK17i

Here's the files I ported from both Stock and Mini CM Sandwich

\system\app\CameraExtensionPermission.apk
\system\app\SemcCameraUI.apk
\system\lib\hw\camera.semc.so
\system\lib\libcamera_client.so
\system\lib\libcamera_clientsemc.so
\system\lib\libcameraextensionclient.so
\system\lib\libcameraextensionjni.so
\system\lib\libcameraextensionservice.so
\system\lib\libcameralight.so
\system\lib\libcameraservice.so

a Friend minachvim said in a post to me (see the full conversation here)That this problem was solved in Xperia X10 Mini Pro in a rom maybe called sony style by paul-xxx

I found the Rom but nothing about Sony Camera Mentioned ,Any one knows about this !?

That's All ,Sorry for writing a lot ,but it's better to answer all question that might be in your Head:D

Note :

1- Flashing SemcCamera Update From Mini CM Sandwich AOSP v4 will delete the \system\app\Camera.apk (The AOSP Camera) and add \system\app\SemcCameraUI.apk (Sony Camera ;which doesn't show in app drawer) that's why you'll see the camera app missing

also it doesn't add the \system\app\CameraExtensionPermission.apk (because it's already there in Mini CM rom and not there in AOSP)

2- SemcCameraUI.apk is not installable ,when trying to install ,it says Application didn't install ,so we can't push libs and then install camera app as any other app

Ideas :

1-Modding the CM9 Camera.apk ,porting the .png files from SemcCameraUI.apk ,but that needs editing the XML files (XML Programming) which I don't know anything about it

2- Make The System use SemcCameraUI.apk instead of Camera.apk ,How ? you tell me

3- Make the SemcCameraUI.apk visible in App Drawer and use it as a 3rd part camera app
