Hi - NaN (not a noob) to software and hacking but new to this device.
I have a rooted TF101 and wonder if anyone's hacked the device so that the front camera becomes the rear and the rear camera becomes the front.
Really just curious before I go ahead and brick my device. I'm thinking about mv /dev/ov5640 and /dev/tegra_camera but that sounds far too easy (and dangerous)...
Why would You be interested in swapping the cameras anyways? Seems to be a biit pointless to me as every app ive used with cameras it had support to use front or back.

I agree to this, there is no point to make the change.
Well for starters Opera 12, which includes support for getUserMedia() WebRTC extensions uses the first webcam it comes across, the rear. If I wanted to even make a mock up of a video call I would need the front camera (granted this is only good for the lab, not production).
But really I was trying to understand how the underlying media device capability works. If you simply exchange using mv /dev/mi1040 (the front camera device) and /dev/ov5640 (back camera) then it goofs the images to any app that uses cameras.
There must therefore be other layer(s) determining device capabilities, codecs, etc.
There's a file /etc/nvcamera.conf but that only seems to affect the main camera app. I swapped 1 and 0 and front and back tags, although admittedly haven't yet swapped the device ID whilst leaving the front/back tags the same.
And there's a whopping /etc/media_profiles.xml defining all the camera capabilities.
Do I need a reason? Isn't anyone even just curious doing something to push the device and learn more about the platform???
There was a point where Yahoo IM would use the back camera (when it was avaiable native to the TF). There was a member "droidx" he modified some files and got the front camera working with it. You're better off looking at modifying files as oppose to rewiring cameras.

How to swap the cameras so Opera 12 uses front camera for getUserMedia()
Ok, here's how I did it.
Essentially you only need to swap the tags 'front' and 'back' in the file /etc/nvcamera.conf
The change is permanent across reboots, but messes the orientation/mirror image of the cameras, so the rear camera becomes a mirror image, not the front. This messes all portrait shots as the camera pic becomes upside down.
Device needs to be rooted.
Need to make /system directory read/write:
# mount -o rw,remount /system
# vi /etc/nvcamera.conf# format, cameraName=device,direction,orientation,type
This is the file before mods
# type can be 'stereo' for stereo capable, 'mono' for not stereo capable,
# 'usb' to enable searching for a usb device and where to put it in the list
# if found. Lines must be shorter then 256 characters
version=1
camera0=/dev/ov5640,back,0,mono
#camera1=/dev/ov5650,back,0,mono // 2nd camera for stereo once supported
camera1=/dev/mi1040,front,0,mono
#camera4=/dev/ov5650,back,0,stereo // virtual stereo device once supported
Change this line:
camera0=/dev/ov5640,back,0,mono
to:
camera0=/dev/ov5640,front,0,mono
And this line:
camera1=/dev/mi1040,front,0,mono
to:
camera1=/dev/mi1040,back,0,mono
Save and it works.
Please remove :/

I also agree. as some may not understand the reasoning, obviously oblonsky has a reason for doing this, just because everyone doesnt understand or agree with him is no reason to cut him off and remove his post... anything anyone learns or attempts to learn about android or the transformers code will progress understanding of the platform and the device. I vote let it stay and continue your endeavor fellow androidian.....
Yes, thanks guys. I'm already wondering now whether it may be possible to add new cameras, or disable cameras - do more useful stuff than swap cameras. Also I took the time to post the answer to my own question just in case it was useful to anyone else - so it would seem odd to want to remove the information that just *might* be useful to others at some point.
will this work on nougat......if not how to do it on nougat
Here is a reason to make the front camera the default camera: After getting in a terrible rain, my main camera on the back is not working anymore.
When starting a camera apps, it just quits with kind of a "connection to camera no possible" message.
Here's another reason to make the front camera as the default
I have a phone that's about 5 years old. It's been through heavy and rough usage. Hence, the connection between the motherboard and camera module are fried.
Now, when I have to login into WhatsApp Web or the WhatsApp App for Windows, I cannot because it needs a QR code scanned - which triggers the back camera.
So, I'm going to go ahead and try this, kudos!
Thanks for posting!
This was useful. Thanks. Please keep experimenting for no reasons.

Uhm did it work?
Unfortunately, no, it didn't. Apparently, WhatsApp has gotten rid of the gate that used to allow for the "exploit" to happen before. I have heard of users doing it 2 years ago.
Anyway, what I had to do in my case was, I had to maintain pressure at the point on the camera module where it connects to the motherboard, while navigating to WhatsApp Web and scanning the QR code, all without even the most minute of movements. Otherwise the phone would fail to detect the camera module all over again, demanding me to repeat the whole thing again + a manual camera driver reset from my ROM settings.
Tried it like 20+ times. Succeeded in 1/20 of them... **** was tough, bro.
I finally managed to do this on my Redmi Note 5. This is probably applicable to most other devices as well.
Remount the system partition as writable:
Code:
$ su -c mount -o rw,remount /system
Edit /system/vendor/etc/camera/camera_config.xml and swap all
Code:
<Position>BACK</Position>
to
Code:
<Position>FRONT</Position>
and vice versa.
Reboot.
Do you think this will still work?
If I unroot after modifying the file, will the change persist?
Many thanks for your excellent work.

It still works for me at least. I think it will persist after unrooting, but I don't know how rooting works under the hood right now, so this may be incorrect.
If you try it, please report back your results!
If you are running a teamdrh rom with JB, or ICS with the 2.6.39 kernel, you can use a webcam and this hack to make skype video calls or take pictures/ record video with the stock camera app. I have tested this and it works great, skype calls are getting video and audio but i have only done a couple of five minute calls so I do not know if you will have the same luck with the MIC that I have had. on the stock camera app, if you "switch" from front to back camera, it inverts the video image, but video recording works, however on the stock app the MIC will cut off at around 10 seconds, but videolooks good, and pictures work too. All other camera apps I downloaded have worked as well.
REquirements:
1) a UVC webcam, which means compatible with Video4linux, or Video4windows, really most webcams work. The easy way if you buy one is to find on the box anything that says "no drivers/cd required." But check here: http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/#devices
I bought a $17 gigaware at radioshack, the cheapest one in the store.
2) You need to download this file:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4ltl2zYxU7yVTVnM1RzVlBNaUE/edit?pli=1
BUT EXTRACT AND ONLY COPY THE camera.tegra.so FILE INTO your tablet's /SYSTEM/LIB/HW folder, and reboot. If you copy the other stuff you might find that your device will NO LONGER BOOT!!!
3) Plug your webcam into the usb port and in terminal run these commands:
su
chown system.camera /dev/video0
chmod 660 /dev/video0
*If you download gscript you can enter these commands once, and then it is just a couple of clicks, WAY EASIER! they need to be entered everytime you plug the webcam in, and before you run a camera/skype app.
Enjoy, I am hoping some people will test this and confirm it works for them too, please!

found this and I am wondering if he is talking about an ICS function, or just an Adam function. Either way, i was thinking the Adam is very similar to ours anyway. Anyone have a usb webcam that wants to try this, or bash me if the idea is out of the question for Gtab?? either is fine, just thought this MIGHT be useful.

There is a possibility that this already works on TeamDRH's ICS rom. The support has been added in the kernel awhile back but never been tested.
Thanks and much credit to rajeevvp!!!! I have gotten a webcam to stream video onto my gtab with DRH 1.3.2
Its kind've choppy, and a little blurry but works in a stable manner.
I am beggining to learn programming for android and trying to figure out a way to have any apps divert to my working video source instead of looking at the factory camera for a source. It seems it should be possible but I am just still too newb to Know any better.
If you would like to test this, then refer to this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29457353&postcount=11
I have had success with a uvc compatibe webcam so far.
If you might have an idea as to how to trick the rom into looking at the usb port for its default video source I would like to know. Or if you can conclusively tell me that this is not possible I would like to know that too. My understanding is that there are two ways to approach this. One is to have the rom divert any frame capture requests to the usb video source as opposed to the original location. The other way, and probably more likely way, is to take an app like skype and hack it to go to usb for video, as opposed to the "stock camera location." Any insights would be very helpful. At least then, we could video chat with a small webcam, as opposed to no camera at all.

That binary source code may also work on other ROMs (Froyo-, GB-, or HC-based ones)--if the Android<->HW camera interface hasn't changed. (The binary, unfortunately, doesn't load on GB and HC.)
This is how it should've been done by nVidia in the first place. I had expected them or VS/Malata to write a kernel driver for their camera which implemented the standard V4L interface. Instead, they have a binary-only shared object which directly controls the camera HW in a completely opaque way. There's hardly any camera-support code in the official (2.6.32.x) kernels at all--I was very surprised when I looked into this some time back.
nVidia's HW is nice and all, but, from now on, I'm just not going to buy any more of their products if it relies on any proprietary blobs.

I found out I didn't have a dev/video0 folder. I created one but the camera fcs. Is ther supposed to be files in the video0 folder? I noticed in the audio folder there were several files. I am running DRH ICS 1.3 It didn't have the camera app installed since it didn't work anyway.
Any help would be appreciated. I restored the camera app with Ti from an earlier backup.
Thanks
btw: Thanks to all who got this working. I've been looking for something just like this.
Um, /dev/video0 is only created after you plug in your camera. You do not create this yourself. If your camera is UVC compatible, then after it is plugged in you should have /dev/video0 on the stock rom with no modifications! Did you check the link to see if it is listed?
These terminal commands give the camera permission to use the camera apps, along with the camera.tegra.so file. But, a totally unmodded rom will give /dev/video0 if your camera is compatible, because TEAMDRH already included the needed drivers. download the app "usb host controller" and open it after you plug your camera in. under the USB tab, does it register or list your camera? If so, then google your webcam, not the brand name, but the brand that is listed under "usb host controller" to see if it is UVC. My camera is a Gigaware, but under usb host controller it is listed as an MSI Starcam.
This positively works for me, but I have been waiting for anyone else to tell me it worked for them too so I can confirm. I am happy to help, because I want this to work universally as it should so it is a viable option.
Thanks

Thanks. I'm at work and just pulled out a cheap camera from my drawer. Not even sure what model it is. I wasn't aware though that the camera would create the folder when it is plugged in. When I get home I know I have a camera that is compatible and I will try it again.
Thanks for your help. I will let you know how it goes.

It works. I haven't actually taken a pic or video yet, but I got a picture. I'm using my Logitech 270 HD webcam and the picture looks great. This is what I've been waiting for. I downloaded the free version if Camera ICS off the Play store. May have to buy it. The older stck camera app still FCs but the ICS one fired right up. Now I'll have to make my script.
Thanks a great deal... :good::good:
On a fresh install of the JB alpha, if you swipe left on the lockscreen instead of right, the camera app pops up, if you do a factory reset, then it will be in your app drawer!
I am so glad to hear it works for someone else.
TO use video recording or skype video, any video, you have to swap from the front to back camera. It shows an inverted image, but when you play back a recorded video, it is proper, also skype might be inverted but it looks right on the other end. I do not know why this is, but it works!!
***To clear up any confusion, the terminal commands only need to be entered once, after the camera is plugged but before you try to use any camera apps. They do not need to be re-entered until the next time you plug your webcam in, or restart the tab. With the gscript, you can put a shortcut on your homescreen, and the process becomes: plug cam in, tap one button, then load camera app or skype,etc!!
I can confirm it works with ICS Beta 1.3.2 (using the Camera ICS app). Camera, and Skype work just fine!
At last, my gTab is complete again! (well... almost...).

Random newbish question
would this be able to work on other tablets as well? albeit slightly modified and what not... i've been thinking of integrating a dell streak 7 into my dash and an external web cam would be a neat back up cam
Im gonna guess no, but it is possible. YOu need a kernel with V4l2 support, and a file like this to direct the rom to communicate with it. I know nothing about dell streaks, but if you ask a developer of the rom you're using to look at Borkata's github source you might get a solution, but I really do not know.

Thanks, I figured that because the dell streak is a tegra 2 board, it wouldnt be too difficult, but i am definatly not a dev of any sort
I've tried this with on a gTablet, testing both G-Harmony & SmoOther Beam 4.1.2, but I haven't been able to get it working.
I'm testing it with a Microsoft HD-6000 webcam. Any suggestions on where I might look to determine if the problem is related to the ROM/approach, or the hardware?
I've already checked the UVC compatibility page. Unfortunately it's a bit out-of-date, and the HD-6000 is not yet listed, yet the sister HD-3000 is listed as supported.
Thank you in advance for any ideas!

Hello, anyone installed modded Google camera at XZ Premium?
It doesn't work, it requires Camera2 API (I think full mode) which is not supported by the XZp.
I read somewhere that SONY uses a modified version of the API which is why it causes the Google Camera app to crash.
https://source.android.com/devices/camera/versioning
This explains everything. But I am not quite sure which one Sony actually using. AFAIK it's legacy.
Edit: Yes it is Legacy.

I read that we can custom enable camera2api, but from recovery mode, anyone tried it?
Thing is there's an issue with the camera with unlocked bootloader. They're working on a DRM fix for unlocked bootloader.
But what's this custom enable cameraAPI2? cause I really wanna enable that so we get full control over. But I highly doubt we will be able to.

The camera2 api is enabled by default (it was on my device) on XZP, but they limited the functionality for 3rd-party apps. RAW is not supported and the resolution is limited @ 8,3MP (back) and @ 13MP (front). I didn't found a way to brake the limits. I have no idea if it's possible.
Not all 3rd party apps are limited. FV-5 (force legacy drivers), open camera, a better camera, Camera ZOOM FX

Dude but what can we do for portrait mode??
It would be awesome if it works
(Don't say me to edit pics in snapseed nor picsart for portrait)
I am not a big fan of portrait mode, but I really think Sony's Bionz camera software is better than Google HDR + at least for our sensor.
Instead of running for fantasies, maybe you try to learn how our Bionz works. You wont be dissapointed.
Now a good thing will be to port XZ2 camera to our XZP.

Android 11 uses a new "format" that allows installing a much larger system image on less physical space (much like a virtual machine). The usual methods to modify it won't work.
The GCam V7 not work on Asus RoG5 only the V8.1.101 by Wichaya working, but front cam and night mode are better on Asus cam app, for the rest GCam V8 are better
Could you clarify what you mean by "since it's already enabled internally"? Does it make sense to dl these modded gcams then?

You should ensure that you credit each Dev who's work you are sharing. This is important to make it clear that this is not your own efforts or work. Also this isn't really required since it's already enabled internally as another Dev has stated. Thanks

how to enable camera2api? and where are config files?
Just picked up this phone, so far I like it, seems a bit laggy, but I'm looking for a working Gcam version. I found a few but one is a Go version and the 2nd I can only get video working. Any help would be appreciated
It's like 99% + a proper gcam will not work for this device. I don't own this device but have been looking if RAW is capable on this device at all with 3rd party apps. Apparently this is a NO. When RAW is not available at all, GCAM's core software does not work...which is HDR+ mode. It's really lame because the camera sensor , processor/processing and memory is more than adequate.
I think gcam is limited to what is already existed. I had hoped it could be a workaround on the RAW issue, it couldn't engage the cameras on mine.
Hey there people, a couple of weeks ago I've acquired an A53 because of it's camera capability, while researching I found out this phone doesn't have RAW format support, which is a shame acknowledging this phone can shoot up to 10 seconds of image! So I decided to get my hands dirty and mod the camera libraries and so a Google Camera for it. I might release the modules and the Google Camera by this Saturday. I'd be also doing a Q&A, and you're invited! (I'll be talking about my work over 64MP mode, spoiler alert, I've been able to expose the resolution size for 3rd party camera apps, but I decided I won't be release with the 64MP mode until I'm able to access 64MP mode without root.)
I'm eagerly waiting to show you all my W.I.P works and much more!
Attaching a video showing how GCam 8.4.300 behaves.
Hey there, I was able to make a stable GCam 8.4.300, refer to my XDA thread!
Interesting !
Sadly we have to Root the phone to use gcam
Thanks for your work, i'll follow tour project closely

No worries, for those who can't root or don't want to root I'll be doing my best to get working 64MP for 3rd party camera without root!

I'm not particularly interested by 64MP mode as I'm not impressed by the differences from a quality perspective (using Samsung app)
But I'm interested by a working version of gcam cause I don't like Samsung camera app and also the photo processing (far better when I disable the HDR mode)
So if your version of gcam can be installed without unlocking bootloader I'm in !
But if I understand correctly that's not possible currently ? Am I right ?
Thanks for your work !

Yes, sadly you can't use gcam without root, I saw Samsung's api has a RAW picture format so I have been tried these past weeks using Samsung's API RAW picture format instead of Android's, unfortunately no progress was achieved so far
That's very cool. Really looking forward to trying this out on my phone with LineageOS GSI and Magisk. There, the difference in quality to the default cam will be mindblowing I assume.

Bro need gcam for samsung A33

I don't think Gcam is ever going to work unless Samsung enables RAW support (or someone finds a way to enable it) on the A53.
How do I enable GCam if I have ROOT?
Considering this device through local carrier because it's one of few with expandable memory. They're also suggesting Motorola Edge.. I've been out of the loop on tech side of things for years now, so I naturally came here to learn what I can about them. Is A53 5G a solid choice?
