Camera from HTCAmaze(from Evo3d GSM forums) - HTC EVO 3D

Not sure if this should be posted here, but considering it needs some development, and it is in the GSM dev forums, I figured it should go here.
Anyway, a couple of days ago I installed V2 and it worked pretty good, but had a few force closes. At that time there was .apk's to install. Now theyre up to V4, and its a flashable zip that doesnt appear to work on our devices. When flashed through recovery, the flash fails at the Model_id check. Not sure if someone here can fix this so its flashable on our phones? seems like a pretty cool camera.

Here, try this. I swapped out the model with our version of the Evo3D. I haven't flashed it, but you can test.
Note: Standard disclaimer. I take no responsibility, blah blah blah...
Edit: Updated script

I got pretty much everything working

Thanks for fixing! I tried flashing your modified version, it flashed fine,but unfortunately it wiped my device and didnt install the new camera. Also broke the lock screen. No biggie, I got a nandroid backup, so all good! Hopefully sac23 will put up the version he tweaked....

That's what I get for not reading it all the way through, sorry about that. It was supposed to format cache, but the block devices are different so it formatted system. I'll update it and take that one down.
Edit: Fixed, it won't nuke your system now. Not sure if those libs that are included are going to work or not. YMMV.

No need to apologize! New version worked great! Well at least I think it did. Not sure about those libs either, guess we'll see!

My guess is those libs are compiled against the kernel for the GSM version and won't work. But...then again they might. Good luck, sir!

So the only thing that doesn't seem to be working is 3d pics. It takes the picture, but then immediately crashes to the desktop. Along with the issues already posted in the GSM section. So far those libs dont seem to be causing any issues. But then again its 5am, haven't really had a chance to really use anything but the camera.

I think the amaze is a 3d camera. You can actually preview the 3d perfectly. Just when you take a pic, it freezes for a few secs and then crashes.

Can anyone report on shutter lag? Only thing I find unusable about the Evo 3D camera: shutter lag is at best (with fastest settings, preview off, etc.) 0.5 seconds.

From the GSM forum......it seems we need updated kernel with ZERO SHUTTER LAG driver included. So, if HTC doesn't give even kernel src for us we have only choice to wait for new STOCK kernel with ZSL driver.

ZSL means fast speed than galaxy s 2 camera?
Thats one thing I miss

Doesn't work for non rooted evo 3D phone.

Yes, the. zip in the 2nd post flashes, and works pretty good, except the camera crashes when taking 3d pics. 2d works great.

Any way to use this without root? And can you install as a separate app? That would be cool.
boom!! from my shooter

Doesnt the MyTouch 4g slide use the same camera? that released right around the time of the E3D too. anyone know if that source got released?
I cant get hdr to work (it takes pic but no different than any other pic), burst wont select, and there were a couple others that didnt work. In 3d mode, in addition to crashing, it doesnt adjust the exposure and alignment is way off so i dont think the amaze has the 3d software programmed.

That can probably be done with this phone since it uses the same chipset as the E3D and Sensation. Once I get mine next tuesday/wednesday ill see what I can do about getting this module to work.
If anyone takes a look at it, post anything you have tried. This could in theory at the very least allow an undervolt which would help offset the LTE power sucking.
Yeah see I wwas talking about this earlier. I think this will work. I PMed viperboy who actually wrote one of the bloatware scripts when we had temproot. Just waiting for a response AMD hope to get a jump start on this. Good idea starting this thread tho

Coming from the bravoc which has almost zero development aside from 2fast at his site I am used to just thinking of things to try. I was able to port a couple dinc roms to it even though I was told it couldn't be done. I hope to be much more involved with development here since there are already more posts in this section than there were in a year at the site dedicated to the bravoc

It took a few days to get that inc port almost bugfree (usb pc transfer wouldn't work) but it was otherwise fine iirc. I hope that with support and other work to use as examples i can make some stuff for this device that isn't either a variation of AOSP or a sense port that has some serious drawbacks.
I am personally more interested in the possibility of underclocking and undervolting than OCing. Or maybe OCing and undervolting like I did with my droid x - can really help save some battery and allow the phone to sip less juice. This phone is so new I am getting ahead of myself, but hopefully in time we can get root/roms/OCing and undervolting apps to work on the Rezound.
I normally run my battery on performance mode on all my phones. I set it to normal, and with the equivalent usage I get 1/3 better battery life. I even leave all my antenna's on(except WiFi when I am away).
Just to let everyone know what I tried. I took the file for "unsupported phones" from the link's thread and changed the version number to match the rezound, which is -- 2.6.35.13-g20c5d1d -- . As you can see it was not just the ending part starting with the 'g' that needed to be changed as ours is 2.6.35.13 and the file was made for 2.6.35.10. But since a reboot resets everything I tried it by changing only the part starting with 'g' and it failed saying "Exec format error". So I then changed the entire version string to match ours and adb actually completed the task but the phone rebooted immediately and everything was wiped out again.
I did this before the kernel source was put up on the forums but since I dont have ANY knowledge of messing with kernels I am no help there, but hopefully this can help someone get this mod going for the Rezound.
we don't have perma root like the 3vo did so I don't think this will work until then. But this was a band aid until the kernel source was released so this won't even be necessary anymore.

The guy who made Setcpu made a script that allowed oc on the stock kernel on the 3D. It was before perm root. It was right after agrabren found the first exploit and a reboot would return the phone to stock. You temp rooted ran the script from adb and used Setcpu to oc.. Some of the smoothest kernel action the 3D had.. I'm sure same thing is potentially there, just need someone smart enough to do..

Cool. I did find a tidbit that might (don't get your hopes up and basically pretend I didn't even say this) make root last longer. Obviously until I have my rezound for the next few days I can't even think about testing anything.

Since I happened to venture to theses parts since our buddy plat ventured to this. I am a bit surprised to see you switched. How ever the module you are talking about in the op I am pretty sure you can't just hex edit the kernel version. As the kernel will be different for the device compared to that of the evo 3d. If it is anything like doing the g2 version for the htc merge that is. Where it had to be recompiled to work correctly.
I am sure one of the dev's familiar in here with building source code could get it done up. If it works after that I am unsure. Though con you ported the sense hd rom from the inc to the desire. That was the only one that you had ported. Followed by you followed samuel2706's guide and other info he gave you. Then you came to me to ask how I fixed the mms and verizon branding in the rom. In which I told you how to fix it but you put it off as you fixed it. As you are putting off in here.

[Q] Porting Sensation Roms?

I was wondering, since there aren't as many roms for the gsm 3vo as I would like, and since the Sensation is very similar to our phone expect the camera, would it be possible to port a sensation rom to the gsm evo 3d? Or even better would it work out of the box(except camera of course) by only flashing an evo kernel?

I think you can definitely test w/o causing permanent damage. For the smoothest test experience, you'll want to be familar with a custom recovery and the backup/restore modes available along with the type of internal memory unlock used on the device (Revolutionary or HTC official method).
Once you're familar with the basics, it would be fairly simple to test. The combinations for testing, off the top of my head, would be:
1) Sensation kernel and EVO 3D ROM.
2) Sensation kernel and Sensation ROM.
3) EVO 3D kernel and Sensation ROM.
Speaking from experience, once you're familar with how to load kernels and ROMs, the process is fairly generic across devices once write access to the internal memory is obtained.
Again, I'll re-iterate the importance of making a proper backup and being familar with the restoration process.
There are only two main hazards which come to mind:
1) Make sure NOT to flash the radio, bootloader, or any other file. ONLY flash kernel/system partitions.
2) Before flashing kernel/system partitions ensure the partition sizes between devices are the same, or EVO 3D is larger. Not sure the device limits and stops partitions from overwriting each other as I know some older devices did not and this caused an unrecoverable damage.
I'm sure if I missed anything, somebody else will post up. Hope that helps provide some technical background and logic to the approach! Keep us updated!
Thanks for the reply. I'm already familiar with flashing kernels/roms and how to make a nandroid backup etc so that isn't a problem. However I have 1 question, how exactly would I find the partition sizes of the sensation, I couldn't find it on the internet and I don't have a sensation that I can check.
Anyways I found a few posts on the forums of people claiming sensation roms work almost flawlessly except for the camera, so the next question would be if there are any apk's/libs etc. I can copy to the sensation rom to get the camera working. I'm no dev myself so I don't have a clue, but if someone could tell me I would appreciate it. Thanks.
Well you can't just flash a sensation ROM out of the box. You would at least need to change the mount points in the updater script otherwise you will get nothing. Regarding the camera, there are libs in /system/lib like liboemcamera.so and such. Not sure fixing the camera would be as simple as copying libs over from our phone though.

EDIT: Well I took a sense 3.6 ICS rom from the sensation forums, changed the mount points, and replaced the boot.img with ours. It boots to the bootanimation and then reboots by itself. So it is possible I may look at it more tonight.
EDIT 2: I just saw you were talking about the gsm 3d, I did this on the CDMA. The process would be the exact same though.
Yeah I have a GSM phone so that's why I said GSM. Also wouldn't porting to the GSM version be easier then to the CDMA version since the sensation is also GSM?
Anyways I'm kinda busy today but I will try to see if it boots on my phone tomorrow and post my results. I'll.also try to get the camera to work by copying libs like you suggested.

Answer to first question: partition sizes are generally mentioned in a handful of different locations depending on the device: /proc/partition(s), /proc/emmc or /proc/mtd off the top of my head. Since the devices are similar and others have already tried this approach, probably not a concern, but none the less never hurts to learn more!
Answer to second question: the cameras (2 of them for 3D) on this device, along with the 3D display are the two biggest difficulties in porting AOSP such as CM to this device, in my opinion. they use closed source proprietary code from HTC. this requires a bit of reverse engineering and kanging from other random sources in order to get a final working product. personally, i wouldnt invest the time/effort into it, but others might find it a beneficial endeavor for themselves. either way, you're guaranteed to learn a bit about cameras! as stated above, all android libraries are loaded in /system/lib.
For the camera, I view android as having essentially three components contributing to a fully functional camera.
1) Camera drivers in the kernel
2) Camera libraries in /system/lib
3) Camera application apk file for Android UI
These three need to work together to at least some degree in order for there to be some functionality in the camera.

Might be more off topic but could related also to this OP depending on his approach. If you encounter the boot animation this is generally a good sign the kernel has fully loaded and is handing off to the ramdisk/init process.
There are two possible situations at this point
1) If the boot animation loops, i.e. starts over and over, this shows there is an issue with Android/ramdisk init process. Adb has generally been loaded by this point and the issue should be outlined in logcat showing the specific .apk file along with line number which makes for a great starting point in troubleshooting.
2) If the boot animation starts/completes but the device completely reboots back to the splash screen, this is more difficult to troubleshoot. I'm not aware of a great approach to this but I might start by glancing at the /proc/last_kmsg file along with executing adb logcat as soon as I see the boot animation in an attempt to grab the logcat before the device reboots itself.
Good luck and keep us updated!

Well yeah it completely reboots back to the splash screen. During the bootanimation, I can't get a logcat and adb says there is no device connected. This isn't my first port but I've never had this happen lol. I'll look into what you said.

Well, I successfully installed Android Revoltion HD 3.6.13, It boots, everything seems to work, however I didn't test GPS and BT yet. And the camera is well, half working I guess. The camera app opens, and i can see the controls etc but no image comes, and when I press the capture button the flash pops but the app FC's after that. I'm gonna try flashing [MOD] Camera from HTC Amaze 4G, v0.11 and see if it works. If it doesn't I'll copy over all the camera related libs I can find from my old ROM and see if it works then.
Edit: Hahahaha yessss it works I just flashed the Amaze camera app and now camera works only 2D of course but it's enough for me. I'll keep testing for a few days and of there aren't any serious bugs I can find I'll be using this as my daily driver from now on
Edit2:Audio doesn't seem to work If I can't get that fixed then this ROM will be useless :/

When you say Replaced the Boot.img, How'd you do that? Was it done with a ROM kitchen? Reason I'm asking because I read something saying that a Complete Rom Port could be achieved just with Apps on our phones... Using something like Root Explorer and whatever else (Can't Remember?) But I was wondering is that True?
And as for Extracting the Kernel can that Also be done Without the use of a Computer? In other words straight from a phone?

Yeah like t3project said, that is wrong.
But anyhow, I replaced the boot.img simply by opening the two ROMs with winrar and then deleting and replacing it. And to extract the kernel, you would need to split the boot.img either using a kitchen or some other tools that do the job.

Aren't you on the CDMA EVO? If you are wouldn't the radios be completely different since the sensation is a GSM device? So maybe that's what's causing the reboot issues. I mean as far as I know even porting from the CDMA EVO to the GSM EVO is hard so wouldn't porting from the sensation to the CDMA EVO be even harder?

Atrix 4g, unlocked, rooted, custom rom.
When the camera app is opened it just shows white. But it takes pictures just fine. It does this with both cameras. This was happening on 2 different roms. When I flashed the second rom it worked on the first boot. but nothing else worked so I had to wipe the cache. After that all the apps work but same camera issue.

XenonHD was one, I dont remember the other. Now I am just full of problems again. the aroma installer wont calibrate the touch, most apps stop working when started. I may need to run the aroma prep again. I think I flashed a non aroma rom at some point.

Exactly what I thought, this is exactly why I asked. You chould have at least read up on the ROM you are about to flash.

Don't even think of comparing Atrix with SII. The fact that CM9/CM10 works on some other phone means next to nothing.

Exactly what I thought, this is exactly why I asked. You chould have at least read up on the ROM you are about to flash.
Video recording doesn't work on any ICS/JB ROMs, for reasons that have been explained countless times already.

Video recording yes, I do know that. Does that mean the camera also does not work? I am talking about before you take a picture. see live through the camera.

I know that. I know it would be different. but this is rediculous. I have to use romracer CWM to flash anything, the touch setup in the aroma installer dosent work, and now the touchscreen is plotting 1cm above my finger.
Tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1836674 no improvement.
open the camera app, gallery fails. soft keys cant be pressed because of the calibration issue. This seems to be common between roms. Currently waiting for a charge for fastboot. going to full erase and start from the beggining. unless someone has a better solution.

Eh, yeah. Due to lack of proper software support, the camera has a lot of various issues. Wouldn't be surprised if this is one of them too.

Sounds like you have either a dieing digitizer, or a messed up PDS. Try looking for the pds fix, it's here somewhere. If that doesn't help, then I'm afraid it might be the digitizer.

It was the PDS. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131649 worked like a breeze. Fixed every thing. Thanks, still having camera troubles. What confuses me is the camera was working on the first boot. It worked great. Then after a restart it stopped again. so now I have restored form backup and reinstalled rom. camera worked great first time. after restart its just while view finder again.

[App] New Camera From The Google Experience Phones

So i took the APK from this thread and made it work for our device. this will only work on AOSP roms that have a CM10.1 base. If you would like to try it, go ahead and flash in recovery. Please have a nandroid just in case, each phone is different and although it works for some it might not work for all.
THIS WILL NOT FIX ANY EXISTING PROBLEMS THAT THE CAMERA HAS, ITS JUST THE NEW UI .
NEW GE 4.2.2 camera Flash in recovery.
OLD CM10.1 camera Flash in recovery.
I will try my best to help anyone out that needs it. feel free to comment here or PM me. :victory:

Works. UI is different. No photosphere or anything, at least for me. It'll do. Thanks!

i think i can get photosphere working if you would like to try it. i did it for the rezound before. it requires a 3lib files to turn it on. ^_^
Edit:
going to be a little harder than i thought. i can get it to turn on. but when i move the phone around it FC. Going to have to do a log cat and figure what is what.
Edit2:
Got the full dump, even better to work with.

I don't know if you saw my other thread asking about the gyroscope, but our phone doesn't have one, so photosphere won't work.

yeah i kinda of figured as much when the FC was calling for it but i was able to use the tilt sensor to do it. But the phone now crashes when stitching the photos.
im trying to get help on it now but progress has been slow, just moved into a new house and still setting everything up.
so what's the new ui look like - can some post / link a screen shot? is this it....
http://www.droid-life.com/2013/06/27/download-new-stock-camera-app-from-google-play-edition-phones/
after reading the original thread it seems safe to install this as it will not overwrite the stock camera app / gallery. can anyone confirm that on our phone?
thanks for the work to to port this over for our use!!!

Slow cause you just moved into a new house? That sounds like a lousy excuse to me. Get on it!

You should do a "Lol" or something at the end of your post cause at this point you sound like a pushy obnoxious ass. He don't owe you anything so watch how you post especially when inquiring about ETA's from any Android developer who does this for free, fun and on their own time for the community

[ROM][JULY 4th] M7 [(Almost) Pure 1.29.401.16][VERIZON]

This is based on the ROM joelZ9614 posted on June 27th.
It's deodexed and stripped of most Verizon apps and some HTC apps while keeping Sense.
This is different than the original release I had planned. This is close to the version I use since joelsZ9614's is coming.
This is PURE HTC stock. There's no themes, no EQS and little tweaks.
Xposed installer is included, use the MoDoCo ToolKit and other XPosed apps to make some of the usual mods.
Everything is working(?) but Zoe and Panoramic sweep.
This is VERIZON ONLY. It's been reported that MMS does not work with GSM.
Here's a few flashable additions: to the ROM:
HTC Music
HTC Calender
xLOUD
There's is now some tweaks included that I've tested but my init.d didn't make all the changes.
Recommend Trickster Mod Settings are:
Read Ahead Buffer Size: 384 (seems high but benchmarks the highest)
Deadline
fifo_batch: 8
front_merges: 1
read_expire: 30
write_expire: 250
writes_starved: 1
Conservative
down_threshold: 30
freq_step: 25
sampling_down_factor: 5
up_threshold: 60
Multicore Power Saving: 2
ALL thanks go to joelZ9614 for the ROM, crpalmer for the kernel, and zepplinrox for the supercharging.

md5: d9dc74de1ed3d78005391166562ee655
*There's been some cleaning inside the ROM. A wipe is NOT necessary, but if coming from the first ROM I posted, but I'd recommend formatting /system.
*This version also has less apps stripped since people seem to like apps I don't use.

More vaporware for the DNA!
It's a stripped version of the ROM Joel posted last week.
I deodexed, and got it to flash. His is coming soon so I pulled the link. If he gives permission I'll gladly post
for people wanting to give it a go.
Verizon and a lot of HTC apps are removed while still keeping Sense.
Mirrors or hosting will be helpful before hand.

All credit goes to joelZ9614 and crpalmer. They've done the work and it's hard.
This is PURE HTC stock. Been using this for a couple days, everything is working but Zoe and Panoramic sweep.
Xposed installer is included, the MoDoCo ToolKit takes care of some of the usual mods.
With all that said here's the link: http://goo.gl/akLyz
If you like it and can mirror please do as i'm not a developer and this is the best hosting I could come up with without ads.
This has been a learning experience.
Developers should get more credit than they get. This stuff is hard, and even uploading is major hassle.

It's basically Sense 5 rom, nothing out of the ordinary, you can look at any other sense 5 rom's screen shot - it would be the same
What about smoothness and responsiveness? I can't use newt's sense 5 rom because it makes my phone feel extremely clunky..
Apparently I can't post a link. Don't know if I could put images in.
But as nimrodsv said it's pure. No theming at all.
I had no problem with newtoroot's ROM being laggy.
But it's been running well for me without any kernel tweaking yet.

I had the same feelings until I used Beaups kernel. No issues now. Actually running very smooth and excellent battery life.

I keep seeing posts where people say that the newt Rom is laggy. Ive been running it for about 2 weeks now and just flashed beaups kernal the other day but even before flashing that kernal I had zero issues with lag. In fact, I have not had a single issue at all since flashing this Rom. That's pre beaups kernal and post. Did I just get lucky somehow with a fluke flash that turned out to be beneficial? Am I the only person that has not experienced any lag?

Every phone is different. My phone hates overlclocking. If I run my phone over 1600 it reboots. No matter what kernel it is. So, maybe it is laggy on his phone.

Don't try the Tablet ui . Obviously Sense lacks a tablet ui and bad things happen.

This is the truth.. We all have the same hardware.. but there could be very subtle differences in something that could cause some of us to lag and others not.. Ran into the same issues when I had my Incredible 2 .. I was flawless with every rom, 99% of the time.. others weren't.. Just the way she goes..
at production, the CPU of the phone was labeled based on processing tolerances. there is slow, nominal, fast, and faster. each one reacts differently to OC and UV ect
My mobile network is saying disconnected after setup I can't seem to get it on even tryed wiping and reflashing any suggestions?

Maybe try toggling airplane mode on and the back off.

Tried that. Also full wipe and clean install and still nothing. Never had this issue before.
