those are separate things. shouldn't mess with the graphics
[TouchPad Development] lightphoenix:
I installed cm-9-20121118, gapps-ics-20120429 and Dorregaray's camerapatch preview 13 on my TP 32GB. However camera app still has the error: "Can't connect to the camera". Wipe out cache and dalvik, re-patch again but it's the same.

Could anyone show me if I missed something to get it work? Thanks

Is it possible for the touch pad to have a 720p video recording mod like the nexus 7?
[TouchPad Development] rkaede:
so u want recording video with the frontcam? the purpose of frontcam is purely for videocall i guess. imo touchpad camera is not really a good quality cam. u can try it on webos also. however is more than enough for video calling.
[TouchPad Development] Izeltokatl:
Preview 11 works great for me. 13 and 14 don't work at all? I did notice the file sizes where roughly 1mb? 11 is close to 5 mb. I downloaded 13 again thinking I grabbed a bad file but it didn't allow the camera to work?

[TouchPad Development] _Dorregaray_:
install 13 over 11. the 14 & 14 does not have the kernel changes - to not mess with jcsullins test build
[TouchPad Development] _Dorregaray_:
no, the camera does not support anything better than 640x480

will the patch work for any rom based off the nightly cm9?
[TouchPad Development] Dimitris CH:
Good, just asked to be sure.
[TouchPad Development] lightphoenix:
I did my TP with cm-9-20121118, only patch preview 11 & 12 work, patch 13 and 14 don't.
[TouchPad Development] bbkmods:
Preveiw 13 works for me. Skype works good too. I'm on 20121118.

S'up Crew,

Just wanted to toss this in here.

Preview 13 works nicely with the latest nightly 20121125...yup!

:cool:
[TouchPad Development] chicle_11:
13 and 14 worked fine for me on 11/18 and 11/25.

fixed the freeze & reboot issue several users has been experiencing
[TouchPad Development] dmarchant:
This is looking so good now. I am experiencing some odd orientation issues with the various previews from 11 through 14 depending on the app I try. Not enough data yet to give real guidance but some apps correct while others are 90 degrees off.

Many, Many thanks for your work on this Dorregaray!!

[ROM] Camera patch for CM9 official nightlies

are you finished w/ [ROM] Camera patch for CM9 official night lies?

are there any fixes for it or should I switch to the official cm9 rom?

thanx
[TouchPad Development] EGOvoruhk:
Is it the hardware limitation, or a limitation of the hack/fix? I always thought the camera was 1.3MP, at least according to HP
[TouchPad Development] detdett:
Nexus 7 had similar situation because Google wanted better battery life and to not strain the device too much.

However, there's a mod to make the nexus 7 record at 720p so I thought the TP could benefit as well
[TouchPad Development] khanam:
So on 11/25 nightly, do I still need to flash all the other previews or can I just flash 15? Got myself all confused unfortunately.
[TouchPad Development] chicle_11:
I flashed the official 11/25 nightly then flashed 15 over that.
[TouchPad Development] tekrhino:
Preview 15 with 11/25 working nicely..

Going to test it out with a Google Hangout later on today..
[TouchPad Development] xXblastingXx:
Dorrey what are you running on right now? Which update preview over the update are you currently on?... I had my charger mess up and I haven't kept up with your previews.. I had to order a new charger on amazon.. might add I got it for $12 n it came fast shipping.. lol.. if u could make two links or links to flash the from, I would greatly appreciated.. n I've been a fan of yours since you revived the touchpad with the camera fix thanks.. great work..
[TouchPad Development] _Dorregaray_:
get the latest official nightly from http://get.cm/?device=tenderloin

and then install preview15 update from http://goo.im/devs/Dorregaray/update-cm9-tenderloin-camera-preview15-for-official.zip
[TouchPad Development] overflyer:
You man, are just simply AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!
[TouchPad Development] xXblastingXx:
Thank you soooo much for your quick response man...
[TouchPad Development] lamsao:
Do you know a link to download official nightly 11/25? I'm at 11/11 and goomanger said it was the latest :crying: Thanks.

Edit: never mind. I saw the link a few posts above.
[TouchPad Development] drfp:
OK flashed to 11/25 put the camera patch on next and nothing but camera connect error still! I'm so tired of this crap! Why is this happening?
[TouchPad Development] iamsamsamiam:
Check if your camera is functional in webOS. If not then your TouchPad camera module probably isn't seated well. Turn off the TP and firmly pinch the area around the camera. Personally pinching wasn't enough for me and I had to basically "clap" that area a few times to reseat the camera.
[TouchPad Development] texastutt:
so kind of like your beating up on your poor little touchpad?

I'm quite thrilled that this now works..
[TouchPad Development] deepgrass:
not so sure why "20121125-nightly-tenderloin" still don't have the working camera as the changelog has indicated it has been fixed and merged to nightly.

Anyway, flash the camera patch preview 15, open the camera app, see my smiley face. :good:
[TouchPad Development] _Dorregaray_:
Where have you seen that the camera stuff is merged?

The camera driver is awaiting here: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/16532/
[TouchPad Development] nicsptl:
If i am not wrong.

CameraHaL is just merged into cm9 repo. at today 2/12/2012(2nd Dec) ,10.11 PM.

Hurrey now just wait for Next nightly. :)

[TouchPad Development] jazzespresso:
Hi guys,

hoping someone here can give me some help:

My touchad, I have CM9 Alpha 2 (yes still). I have been quite hesitate to flash CM9 nightlies for touchpad because you know CM9 Alpha 2 quite stable for my daily usage and have been quite happy with it. But I have been seen that there are quite good development, fixes (especially working comera), I am questing myself should I go head flash the latest nightlies (I believe latest one cm-9-20121202-NIGHTLY-tenderloin.zip).

I do appricated if you guys give me some feedback and recommendations.

second, if I decided to flash cm-9-20121202-NIGHTLY-tenderloin.zip, will it be OK to just flash it top of my CM9 touchpad-alpha2 ROM?
[TouchPad Development] monkeysez:
I think it is best practice to do acmeuninstall and use acmeinstaller 3 in prep for cm10 and avoid lingering issues.
[TouchPad Development] jazzespresso:
well that's true, but considering this is still CM9, I believe I can just flash it over. I agree that going from CM9 to CM10 probably better to do clean install, but my case it is still CM9 alpha 2, so flashing latest nightly CM9 over it, should be good...but like to ask here if any of you guys actually went thru this.
[TouchPad Development] jeff b:
I flashed on top and it worked fine. No wipe.

I just flashed cm9-20121202 nightly...clean, anyhow the camera still needs a fix, do I use preview 15 or do I do the for official release. On tenderloin BBQ.... next release will official include the "Hal" so I am thinking of sticking with preview 15 .?
[TouchPad Development] Dimitris CH:
Hi again.

This may be crazy, but since update 15 the glitches disappeared.

I may just be wrong, but I am only telling you in case somebody else had the same.

I had those glitches from update 5 to 9, then from 9 went str8 to 15 and they disappeared. :good:
[TouchPad Development] phoenixnr:
Is it just me or has goo stopped listing the latest nightly?

"So I'm packing my bag for the misty mountain.."
[TouchPad Development] sstar:
No, the same is happening to me also.
[TouchPad Development] xXblastingXx:
I'm running Dorreygaray working camera cm9 update on top of the new nightly... its more stable to me than cm9 alpha 2... n its camera works.. just back up your rom just in case you decided to switch back but its stable to me... sure give a try....

I think that he meant that as of 16/12 the update is already included. Just installed 12/12 here and it Came with camera . gj ot.

Now just waiting for SGA gamerz kernel update
[TouchPad Development] amkaos:
hi:

is this nightly just everything merged or does it have anything new?

if we are up to date, then we don't need this right?
[TouchPad Development] _Dorregaray_:
I meant the official nightly that will be built starting from 2012-12-16.

That's because those changes were in stock camera app and libcameraservice library not the tenderloin repo.
[TouchPad Development] mailrachit:
Thanks!
[TouchPad Development] deepgrass:
I have already installed the camera patch from this thead.

What is the difference between the camera path here and the one included in the latest nightly?

Does the latest nightly camera still have the wrong aspect ratio?
[TouchPad Development] _Dorregaray_:
This patch is included in the latest nightly. No need to install it anymore.
[TouchPad Development] deepgrass:
Understood. This mean the camera aspect ratio is still not fixed yet. I shall wait.
[TouchPad Development] mpokwsths:
Many thanks for your contribution Dorregaray!!!
[TouchPad Development] Lothaen:

has anyone tested it with google talk to see if video calls are working? I saw Skype was mentioned

[TouchPad Development] mengesb:
OK, but that's something that merging into master for the CM team would be valuable to know!

I'm not saying, "Don't do it yourself," because I'm a big supporter of personal knowledge and development. I am saying, "Give back to the community responsible for the build you had to start working with by contributing/merging your work back upstream," so that the rest of the community can benefit from a stable build. Also one person misses many things, while there are many still working on CM and there's code review, etc, that I'm sure this new feature can benefit from.

Congratulations man! Hey, lets get you speaking with CM and see about a code merge! You can still be the maintainer for the camera code AND give back!
[TouchPad Development] Treken:
All he really needs to do is make his repos on github public ,if not already, and then cm can pull from his code to implement the camera fix. CM is good about crediting developers for their success. This would also allow others to pull from source and compile their Rom with the camera fix. This is a huge achievement and Dorregarray deserves the credit for his multi-month endeavor! Being able to write the code for hardware that has closed source drivers is nothing short of a miracle.
[TouchPad Development] _Dorregaray_:
all the code is already on the github, dalingrin and jcsullins were aware of that since I have started. I've spoke with them on irc several times.

you can find all the sources at https://github.com/Dorregaray

the description how to patch the sources (and scripts doing that) are here: https://github.com/Dorregaray/cm9-tenderloin-camera-build

also on gerrit there are several my camera patches pending:

http://r.cyanogenmod.com/#/q/branch:ics+owner:+%22Tomasz+Rostanski%22,n,z

I see no reason for not merging the code back to CM9 but I'm afraid that two crucial patches:

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/16102/

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/13285/

may not be merged because of code freeze. without them the camera libs won't load and you'll have no camera. Those patches has been posted in may when was no code freeze but there was noone to merge them when it was possible...
[TouchPad Development] hoomanoid:
_Dorregaray_, hey, man! Thank you for your work!

I've got a noob question. There is a problem with a camera on my TP. Flashed your rom after full wipe, but still "Can't connect to camera". Reboot a few times, no result. What else could I do to make it work? Already tried reinstall ACME 3. Maybe I should wipe all with webOS doctor?
[TouchPad Development] Treken:
Can't you review the commits on gerrit/github when the code was mergable and then determine the changes needed in code to allow the merge?
[TouchPad Development] _Dorregaray_:
there was no comments

Sorry, there seems to be hardware problem. Sh**...
[TouchPad Development] Treken:
Ah, ok. Maybe they deleted the commits they made when the merge was possible. Hmmm...perhaps cm will take the initiative to do what it takes to incorporate the fix in their source and things will be much easier to track in gerrit/git history.
[TouchPad Development] mrnv45:
hey dorr. i been following your coding on rootwiki and was hoping u could break thru since u said u got a preview to show up. i posted ur link in the cm9 thread andnno one even payed no mind i told em to follow your work but no response. im glad u are finally able to get it working i almost sold my touchpad if i never followed ur post. thanmks. cant wait for everything to be fully workin i should have money in my paypal this weekend so i will send u a nice steak and beer for your hard work

Noticing a recent bug

My launcher freezes the Launcher buttons for about 20-30 seconds and the does a quick reboot

Also i tried aps to sd but now it says my sd card is removed everytime i try to update apps

How do i fix that
[TouchPad Development] jeff b:
Installed Preview 3 over CM9-20121007 (wipe cache and davlik)

Camera works (preview is rotated until first picture) Can see edge of controls only, but can get to button to take pic.

Skype did not work, would not give option for video call. Uninstalled and then re installed and now Skype works!

Instagram (was not on touchpad, installed after upgrade) works. Portrait is correct, but landscape orientation shows pic upside down.

Got one blue screen lock up after first boot, but none since then (in about an hour of testing only)

Awesome work! Between this and CM9 I no longer want a new tablet!
[TouchPad Development] kangi26:
I did a COMPLETE, clean install of Prev 3 last night. I deleted everything going back to just WebOS, installed ACMEInstall3. I didnt have enough time to give it a complete run through, or ever really give the camera a good run. BUT the camera didnt crash when I started it! If NOTHING else, that is a big YAY! Looking forward to giving the ROM itself a run tonight.

Thanks ton for all of the work you put into this Dorregaray
[TouchPad Development] Trilback:
Flashed and works great :)
[TouchPad Development] alphar:
Just flashed preview 3! I actually wiped cache and flashed it over cm nightly build 9/30 and so far no random reboots or force closes! I took a few pics and the quality isn't bad at all. Good work on this build! :)
[TouchPad Development] Sohip:
My Touchpad used to random reboot a lot!

but after I disabled the lock screen it stopped rebooting?!

did anyone else tried this to stop random rebooting?
[TouchPad Development] blmvxer:
Never heard of that being the reason. I have had a couple reboots on preview 3, but its like once a day so i don't worry. And it might not be so frequent since I boot between Android and webOS ten times a day. :)

[TouchPad Development] nfigot:
Hello All,

first a big shout out to Dorregaray and the other Devs... I'm a long time lurker here, but not much of a poster though I do appreciate all you guys do and the other posters as well who mostly keep this a friendly positive thread/forum.

I could be interpreting it wrong, but what Dorregary has done reminds me of what the Glide Wrapper guys did in the past to get Glide functioning on non-3dfx hardware (ok if you know what I'm talking about ha ha you date yourself, but suffice it to say been messing as a user with PCs for a long time).

I finally have a question that I haven't seen before regarding Preview 3 that I was hoping somebody can answer.

I wanted to test a vid chat program and somebody suggested Camfrog so I gave it a try. Impressively the video windows for my dad came up and he saw me so I know video was fine. The problem is that he can't hear my audio and every time after running Camfrog, the microphone is definitely messed up because Google voice search won't work either saying their is a problem with the microphone.

If I restart the tablet - Google voice search works fine again until I try and use Camfrog which again breaks the microphone function.

Is this a Camfrog issue, an issue with Camfrog on Preview 3, or a problem with just my specific configuration? If anybody has any insight would appreciate it.

If any logs would help - let me know how to pull them and would be glad to provide.

Cheers,

Neil
[TouchPad Development] Izeltokatl:
Hmm. My Mic and video have been flawless over the last week I've been Skyping with my family back in Chicago. I'm in SoCal. You may want to do a full wipe and reflash everything. My voice search has thus far been solid.

At one point I was flashing various tweaks which spawned a blue screen, but s full wipe and flash fixed it. I did mess up my audio too with the beats add-ons but a full wipe and flash fixed that.

[TouchPad Development] jeff b:
As a follow up, I returned to the CM9 nightly over the weekend. I had a few more FC at first, but it got to the point where I could no longer deal with it. Had 3 random reboots and several programs (facebook, and dolphin browser were 2 of them) that would FC and required a reboot to fix, and even after a reboot sometimes wouldn't work. I did not do a full wipe on install though.

Still very excited and impressed with the work done!
[TouchPad Development] :
A full wipe would likely correct most of those issues as I use both facebook and dolphin with no troubles. Before I did a full wipe, however, I was able to eliminate the random reboots and the like by going into recovery and fixing permissions and then wiping caches again. Seemed to stabilize everything nicely.

I did finally do a full wipe because my performance was getting laggy. After a full wipe, everything appears to be back to normal.
[TouchPad Development] mrnv45:
i havent had 1 force close, i also Wiped Dalvik, and cache, before and after install, and i let it reboot one time, do a full load... then turn off and fix pemissions. that helped me with the blue screen issues.. i no longer have been gettin them on reboots or start ups..
[TouchPad Development] blmvxer:
We must keep in mind though that even though its the same hardware it still may not act or behave the same way.

I'm just glad that mine plays fair. ;)
[TouchPad Development] mrnv45:
yuh i usually try to stress that cause some people experience way different stuff then others.. just helping with my format cause i to had blue screens.. havent had one in about 5 days now.

@ Dorregaray,

Curious question. Is your fix specific to HP Hardware or are we going to see Camera enabled CM9 Distros for many other devices based on your work?

Either way, fantastic breakthrough. You and your have breathed new life into a device that had been left for dead.
