for the mobile data and the camera the problem is poprietarie libs. Why not try to use the libraries (camera and rild) of GLOW? (The camera is the same!).

not agree about rild. It is common for all devices using ics. It would be better to try libril-acer-1.so(if it's still there). anyway they require baseband from glow too.
About camera, do whatever you want but least error you will see is "couldn't connect to camera", near no chance there.

It seems silly, but in the end it is a method that has worked for many porting.

yeap, to port sense from desire HD to desire Z both with msm7x30 onboard..
trust me, there should be REALLY NEAR hardware like iconia smart - liquid MT(eheehe if first got official ics...).

You'd better seen on kernel to fix native_start_video ioctl.

[superandrex]

The hardware of Metal camera is this:

config S5K4E1GX
bool "Sensor s5k4e1gx (Samsung 5M)"
depends on MSM_CAMERA
default n
---help---
   Samsung 5M with Autofocus

Now if the kernel driver is correct now search a ICS version when camera work fine and with same hardware. (now I try with ICS for Desire Z).
if this method don't works, the problem may be S5K4E1GX.c or S5K4E1GX.h on kernel.

tried desire z version already, it has the same bug with native_start_video, so most likely it's a kernel bug.

all that ever touched camera in kernel modified VFE source in the same folder.

...mmm ok. I replace the libs (camera.msm7x30 camera.glod... libcamera and liboemcamera) from http://forum.xda-dev...d.php?t=1349864 and now in logCat :

08-19 13:10:05.857: E/HAL(112): load: module=/system/lib/hw/camera.msm7x30.so
08-19 13:10:05.857: E/HAL(112): Cannot load library: link_image[1965]:   112 could not load needed library 'libcamera.so' for 'camera.msm7x30.so' (reloc_library[1314]:   112 cannot locate '_ZN7android7Overlay5setFdEi'...
08-19 13:10:05.857: E/HAL(112): )

ps

you need compiled overlay module to make it work.

lol, I had not seen .


Changing  also  all  libs reach the same error (native_start_video: ioctl failed. ioctl return value is -1). I think the problem are the drivers of the camera or worse video driver...  Now I keep CM9 a few days and I continue to do tests.

Could you use the Acer Glow camera driver?

Try it, maybe could work…

…and same for Data…

Acer Glow is a completely different device. driver in any way can not come up.
Sorry for my bad English.

[met4ller87]

there are some little hopes for our metal, now that you are looking for this rom??

true, but camera and probably RILD is the same.

If we use these drivers, maybe could revive our phone on ICS!

I will continue dreaming…

you know, even chinese phone (iphone clones ones) have the same rild

[davidfiorentino]

Hi, I'm new in this forum (even if it is a long time since I follow it)!
In the last month or so I tried this fantastic ROM, and I have to do all my compliments to Lens for his great work!
I posted mainly to show the things I've seen not working (besides the camera and data connectionit) to be helpful to those who will continue the work! Mainly, for me, is serious the lack of a complete support of flash! To explain, when I play a video with the flash player, you can only hear the are, but not see! plus the sound crackles a little both with flash and with HTML5! Last thing a little more revealing is that sometimes the letters in the font are replaced by symbols (with a reboot but  you can easily fix )!
Last little issue I've seen is concerning the speed of read / write the SD, that I change to 2048kb and each time you reboot back to 4096kb even if I tick "apply on boot"!
That's it, I hope I have not done anything inappropriate! I renew my congratulations to Lens and all those who have tried and will try to finish the job!

are you using RTL? For me nothing to do with symbols, they worked.

have you ever heared about compatibility?
4096 worte in ramdisk(boot script) and might affect your program which in some cases work only before my script.

Very thanks for your reply!
I have installed the normal (I don't know what do you mean with "normal") flash player of adobe! However i have always seen very well flash video with stock rom and Azur Metal 2.5!

I had this issue only the first days and only 2 times! Than it was always ok!

Sorry, but i don't understand very well what you have said! I only know that the better size is 2048, and that at every boot it goes automatically to 4096! I have to left it there at 4096? If no, how I solve? (i have use 2 different apps, so it's not their fault )

Anyway thanks for your help and time, and sorry for my very bad english!
