[FIX] Camera & Camcorder MiniCM7 2.2.1 - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

MiniCM7-2.2.1 Camera by default:
- autofocus is too short --> photos are blured, over exposure led flash
- no auto adjust exposure of camcorder when you shot from dark to bright area or vice versa
- on camcorder mode if led is turned on, it will turned off if you tap the record button
- and last probably the most popular issue, freezing at the middle of recording following with unsynched audio and video
After FIXed
- auto adjust exposure
- decent autofocus with one tap of button
- led can turn on while video record
- no freeze
- no AV unsynch issue
The video is the same quality with 2.1 ROM and the audio is better than 2.1 ROM,
but decreased from the quality of MiniCM7 2.2.1 ROM.
This is the best setting I can get to make it not freezing while record video
Howto:
Flash the file: CWM-Fix-camera-MiniCM7-221.zip

Hi All
I'm sure I'm not the only one whom having problems with MiniCM7 2.2.1 ROM camera (& camcorder)
At least in my phone, I have issue like:
- autofocus is too short --> photos are blured, over exposure led flash
- no auto adjust exposure of camcorder when you shot from dark to bright area or vice versa
- on camcorder mode if led is turned on, it will turned off if you tap the record button
- and last probably the most popular issue, freezing at the middle of recording following with unsynched audio and video
well, after several trial and error, and googling, here's a workaround that can overcome those issue
It will make camera (& camcorder) of MiniCM7 2.2.1 works great
- auto adjust exposure
- decent autofocus with one tap of button
- led can turn on while video record
- no freeze
- no AV unsynch issue
The video is the same quality with 2.1 ROM and the audio is better than 2.1 ROM,
but decreased from the quality of MiniCM7 2.2.1 ROM.
This is the best setting I can get to make it not freezing while record video
Howto:
In attachment I have provide the files.
Place them according to the structure of the folder in the attachment
Files: (don't forget to set permission to rw-r--r-- for each)
1. media_profiles.xml --> copy to /etc replace the original
2. Camera.apk --> copy to system/app replace the original
3. three lib files --> copy to system/lib replace the original
And then delete the Camera.odex in system/app
Reboot phone, and you're done

No. It doesn't.
It's possible, but I dunno how.
I tried once to copy semccamera apk to system/app.. the photo works but camcorder FC..and the UI is messed up.
This is the best we can try at the moment, I think.

For smc_continueus use LGcamera from Gstore , in camcorder mode just change the focus mode from auto to smc_cont and you will get the continueus focus ( notice you must start the capturing vid with LGcamcorder not the Camera.apk and start recording with hardware button not the soft one from screen)

HOTSPOT
moedjs, did you found any trick for having hotspot active with the screen off?
on minicm7 220 worked for me perfect. with big letters at ssid and policy sleep set on 'never', but now i can not make work again.

Hey, the camcoder of the version 2.1.8 of this rom was working fine,
I could use focus pressing the screen while recording video,
after I updated then the application get no focalization in video,
I do belive the 2.1.8 had the better cam possible to GB rom
Ayone can take a look at this

Hmm.. Maybe replace the tiwlan_drv.ko in system/lib/modules with the one from 2.2.0.. ??

thanks. is not working, i found that the tiwlan_drv.ko is in kernel so i flashed the naa11 kernel (the corresponding from minicm7 220) and hotspot have the same bug when the screen goes off. after this i compared all the wifi modules between the 11 and 14 kernels (by the size) and i found that the kernels have the same modules. i compared the wifi configs and xml between the roms and are the same. i will give an another try to flash naa11 and minicm7 220 to see again how the hotspot works.

Wi-Fi driver settings haven't been modified for very long time. You will have to somehow compile a kernel with fixed Wi-Fi / Hotspot, as none of nAa kernels don't have this fixed.

Wait, did that worked for you? MiniCM7Pro was used for Stock kernels as far I remember. Yet, one more reason:

For wifi to work, the ROM MUST have Wifi built from sources as in CM. If this is not the case, the Wifi WONT work, DON'T compain here about that.

I don't know is that driver even built from CM or not.
