Hello,
Is it possible to remove the camera firmware out of a custom Rom from a smartphone with a IMX220 Exmor RS (https://www.kimovil.com/de/liste-smartphones-nach-objektivmodell/sony-imx220-exmor-rs) and
include it on the firmware/custom Rom of the elephone s8?
There hasn't been any custom ROM development going on for this phone in the last 3 months.
But skeleton made Eragon and my question is if it is the possible ?

Maybe. You can look into the system files . There are camera libs and some more things in system/etc and vendor folder.
Copy them out of the firmware . And of course the camera.apk
Then copy all into your custom ROM on the s8 and reboot.
(Make a backup in twrp first. Just in case something goes wrong, also make sure the files have the right permissions. Use mixplorer explorer for that. It will set permissions automatically)
I will try it with "Meizu MX 5" and "Sony Xperia Z3"
by the way: only Ver. 7.0 Like Google Camera 4.1.006.126161292 works on elephone s8
is there a way to get the images a little brighter? with the Google camera the pictures are super dark

if a AOSP rom is avaliable then there you go, install that
AOSP= Android Open Source Project, a AOSP rom is just base android aka the base version of the firmware of all android devices but it does t have oem stuff so it should look like a nexus
so in short stock android=aosp rom, if avaliable for z2
cant delete photos
another issue I have. I cant delete the photos taken from the camera. When I delete them and restart de phone, they are back again. But screenshots, WhatsApp images, those I am able to delete them, and they dont come back again. Why is this happening? Is the OS or maybe MicroSD?

Are you using File Commander to delete them? With KitKat firmware, 3rd party apps can't be used to delete files from SD card. You need to use system apps like File Commander.
Hello everyone.. this is my 1st post in XDA forum. want advice from the elders.
problem: In my Customized Ported Rom front camera does not work.
Info: My devices is a non brand mtk (Cellular A102) with mt6572.
it is difficult to find any custom rom ported for my device.. so I selected an Customized ROM of mt6572 similar to my device (Walton F3i)
I ported that rom with my system stock rom.. everything goes well bt the front camera does not works.. even in camera there is no camera switching option.. during 3g video calling it automatically enables back camera. I tried third party app such as skype to switch the camera bt it was unable to open camera.
Stuff I did to fix that:
1.replaced system/etc/permission whole folder from stock rom to custom rom.
2. replaced system/lib
3.replaced build.prop
Sent from my A102 using XDA Free mobile app
You Dont Have To Replace Whole Folders,Just replace camera.default.so under lib/hw folder and camera permission under etc/permissions with stock...Give Feedback if fixed or not..
Happy to Help..
Hello there
2 months ago I've replaced my damaged Z2 camera with a Z3 one and everything works . On AOSP roms I get that fisheye bug wich I understand is not possible to fix , so I went back on stock sony ROM but the fisheye bug didn't get fixed . I guess Z2 drivers and blobs are maybe not compatible with Z3 camera so I want to try to replace them manually from a Z3 extracted FTF . Can someone help me to locate the files needed to replace ? And also help me replace them because it seems it's not possible to replace them while system in running .

Sorry i know this doesn't help you but can i ask how easy was it to replace and do you think you could swap the xperia sp front facing camera with the z1/z2's ?

Once you remove the back cover of Z2 is very easy to remove the camera too , the Z3 and Z2 camera has same dimensions and same specs , only focal lenght is 25mm on z3 and 27mm on Z2 but this won't affect compatibility .
If Xperia sp has same front camera specs as Z1/Z2 then it's most likely same hardware part so yes you can replace it .
I'm deeply puzzled, and a bit annoyed my shiny new Z7 Max doesn't seem to have working infrared. I can see the thing, but software can't.
Bought the phone off Feebay, has a "Westone" logo on the back, along with China Mobile. ROM seems stock, shows as Android 5.1.1 and has no obvious bloatware.
The reception seems no better than on my old THL T6 pro, but the GPS is vastly better (can even get a lock indoors). Both hate having two sims (from the same provider) fitted - Another reason I upgraded, and another irritation, but one I can live with.
There was something about explore Nubia OS when it first started, and I'm used to KitKat, so there might be some tweaks or other away from stock I don't know of.
What's bothering me is I can't find any sign of an IR app on it, and anything I've downloaded just says the phone doesn't have an IR port.
Anyone got any ideas? Or known working/ stable roms where the IR *does* function?
I'm using MoKee, and it seems to work; can control my tv, which is all i've used it for. The app that comes with the ROM is called Infrared control.
This is the one I bought ebay.co.uk/itm/272424574812
I can't find any hint of IR software on the phone as it reached me, so will see if the seller can help (unlikely) and then.. Gasp.. invalidate my warranty by finding a rom that *does* operate the features the phone was sold as having.
I imported mine, but it also came running android 5.1 and with play store. Unfortunately I didn't try out IR before installing custom ROM, and can't remember if there was any IR app installed.
The app which comes with MoKee appears to be a Nubia app though.

I can't find a download for the IR app that came with the phone, so may as well go for a different rom I guess.
Are there any known/ annoying bugs in Mokee?
Nothing I've noticed, but there's some stuff I haven't tested, like second SIM, Bluetooth audio and tap to pay. Probably other stuff too. Do a backup first and you've got nothing much to lose.

I recieved mine yesterday from GearBest. It also has the Westone logo on it and aside from missing the IR app was also missing the FM Radio.
After a little searching around I found a German forum from where I downloaded the, what seem to been stock, apks.
Now my FM Radio is working fine, but IR is still not functioning. An IR Romote App sugested a library is missing....
P.M. If you want the links, since I cannot post them due to new member restrictions.
I wasn't worried about FM radio, but did notice there was no sign of it.
I looked around for the IR app, but kept getting rather suspicious looking, definitely not, IR things in disguise.. Sigh.
It sounds like you've made some inroads though, fingers crossed there's a solution to this (though slapping a non stock rom on isn't a problem, *if* all features work relaibly).
Edit to add:
I've found an official ROM and copied the control and control test apks from it.. But although the app loads/ runs, there's still no sign of life from the IR led itself. No doubt I'm missing something the OS requires, it's been a while since I played with these things (and I wasn't very good at it then!).
I have same problem i extracted from 3.84 romofficial the 2 apk ir control and zfm radio only radio works hope there is a solution out there....
I bought the phone from china bangood and no help is provided...
Infrared works on z7 Max bought from banggood on CM12.1 ROM (www.needrom.com)
But i like the 5.1.1 oficiall rom is there any way to make it work i fixfmradio by finding an zfwapp.apk from previous official rom i also install ircontrol.apk and its the nubia one but is notworking pls help me enable ir here

this is the infrared apk (cn.nubia.control v3.0.1.1011) from the CM12.1 that works 100% in the CM12.1 ROM, you can try it on your ROM and see.
Note: - i beleive it has to be a system app but you can try installing as normal and see if it works, if not then you will have to make it a system app, also the Z7 Max has to be rooted to be able to do as below.
Here's how to make it a system app -
1). Install the attached app as usual.
2). use an explorer app like 'Root Explorer' and
move "ZTE_IRControl.apk" (which will very likely be in /data/app)
to /system/priv-app
then restart phone and then try the infrared app.

I can't install apk ..... Phone is rooted
---------- Post added at 03:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:35 PM ----------
This apk doesn't install I have the phone rooted and my ircontrol.apk that I got from previous ROM I install it doesn't work then move it to system/priv-app reboot still not working I'm loving this phone but I don't like that ir is not working
I got mine from Banggood as well. Here's how I got both FM and IR working. All referenced apps unless otherwise stated can be found on Needrom under the Z7 Max section.
Phone needs to be rooted - use the utility "Z7 Max All In One Tool v3.3.0" to root and install TWRP, followed by SuperSU ZIP file from Chainfire via TWRP.
Extract the nubia_IRControl1.apk and nubia_ZFM.apk from the Stock ROM V3.89. Place them in your SDCard/microSD card.
Under Settings > Security - Allow installation from Unknown Sources, install the IR and FM APKs.
I used 3C Toolbox Pro from Play Store to move both apps to the system folder. Both runs nicely in the stock Nubia 3.96 that came on the phone.
Further on, I flashed the ResurrectionRemix Nougat Rom dated Feb 03, 2017, both IR and FM apps are already included and working. Both the stock and RR ROMs were working nicely, I just wanted the latest security patch by moving to RR.
For starters thank you very much for your help I already root my device with kingroot and I copy the twoapks from previous ROM 3.89 and install them then made them system apps by copying them to priv-app with root explorer
The problem is that the IR still not working can you help me skittle bit more cause I don't won't to change ROM I like this 3.96 please advise...please
finally I flashed the ResurrectionRemix Nougat Rom dated Feb 03, 2017, both IR and FM apps are already included and working...do you have a link of official rom 3.96??
Unfortunately I cannot find a download for 3.96, the latest available is 3.89 from Needrom.
hi
i too have the same issues, basically the IR has not been built into the lollipop rom. any help greatly appreciated as i love this rom
Radio is working on 3.96 but not ir only in RR nougat
Had other things take my attention off this problem - Glad to see lots of useful info in the thread now
I'd better get downloading and faffing.
So I flashed Xiaomi's china rom (V14.0.23.4.17.DEV (TLFCNXM)) on my 12T Pro unknowingly it's a K50 Ultra rom and it worked! everything is working great until I tried my 12T Pro's camera,
The main camera and selfie camera is reversed, as in, when I'm using the selfie camera, it uses the back camera instead of the front, and when using the back camera, it uses the selfie camera instead. Also it's not actually using the main camera, it's using I think is the ultrawide(?)/or the macro lens as the main camera( the very bottom camera lens ), so my real main camera is useless, and the camera shots are very blurry and has a light red(orange?) filter on it.
I tried using GCam but the issue still persists.
I'm fine without using/utilizing all the 200MP this phone has (though it would be nice if there was a fix), I just want a way to fix the reversed camera for the 12T pro.
I would really really love to stay on this rom, as I dislike using roms/custom roms that isn't officially made by Xiaomi so this chinese rom is a godsend.
So I was wondering,
does anyone know a way to at least fix the reversed camera?
Flash a stock rom for the 12T pro or use a Xiaomi Eu rom.

that's the thing, I don't want to use either the official global or the xiaomi.eu rom and would like to stick to the official chinese rom.
I'm guessing there is no way to fix the reversed camera on the 12T Pro using the K50 Ultra china rom? not even like extracting and flashing files from the global rom while using the chinese rom?
The firmware is different.

While reading that, I had an idea to flash the global EEA 12t pro firmware(14.0.9.0) to my current chinese rom and while my camera is still reversed, it actually now uses the main camera instead of the bottom lens(macro/ultrawide?) and the quality is fixed for the selfie and main camera!, now if only there was a way to fix the reversed camera issue...
edit: after some testing, instead of it using the bottom most lens, it actually uses the middle lens, not the main camera one. Quality is still good though which I find a bit weird. The red filter is gone too.
Now, my banking app needs to verify my face using camera and that of course doesn't work when my camera is bugged out. There is no way to switch between selfie/rear camera inside the built-in camera on my banking app, so it's using the back camera instead of the selfie camera, so with the back camera, no matter how I place the frame to fit my face, it doesn't verify at all....
You should trust the Xiaomi Eu rom as thousands of users do.
Xiaomi Eu rom is present on XDA and has been developing it's rom for 10 years.
5000 downloads for the latest Weekly and 17000 for the stable Miui 14(Based on Cn firmware).
That would be the end of the problem.
You could try replacing /vendor/lib(64)/camera/com.qti.sensormodule.diting_semco_xxxxxxx_wide.bin from 12T Pro, also rename them to the same as your K50U rom.
Better do it by making a Magisk module.

As I have no idea how to make magisk modules, I tried copying and pasting the camera folder from the 12t pro to the chinese rom and vice-versa many times but it doesn't seem to do anything. Also, rebooting the device resets the vendor/lib64/camera folder with the original files...
I noticed that the china rom doesn't have a "com.qti.sensormodule.diting_semco_xxxxxxx_wide.bin" but the 12T pro has it though.

China rom has them, but file names are different. If you move them manually, you also need to disable avb/dm-verity.
Here's a Magisk module to fix K50U camera when flashing 12T Pro EEA rom. You can refer to it.
