      @malditobastardo I will try to get it into my Halium 7.1 port for hammerhead, which is already shaping up nicely. SO yes ^^

          I've just updated the camera app to fix the issue with the rotation of the front camera. Grab the new binaries at the same link in the first post.

              @peat_psuwit : sadly with debuglevel 5 the log files get very big (>50MB) and I cannot extract useful data out of it.
              But meanwhile I am pretty sure, that it has something to do with active rotation-lock. With 1080p video, the app freezes reproducible within the first 5 to 8 seconds.

              Without rotation lock I can record longer videos, most of the time. In this case, after stopping the recording, sometimes the app can't get access to the camera again, the camera-view stays black and I cannot start the next recording.
              Switching to the front-camera and recording with it works though.

                UPDATED: This is no longer required. The correct fix is now in the GStreamer.

                So it mean we can come back on the std droid-media and the GStreamer update should be in the latest rootfs ?

                  @Xray2000 Yes it was. I have a problem with my server setup which causes files to be randomly truncated. The file is now fixed and should be 475k (or so) in size.

                  @Luksus I know why the file gets that large and I still want to look into it (a large amount of that size is a binary file gets hex-printed). Maybe you could compress it and upload it somewhere (if not here)?

                  @ernest The update is in the xenial_-_gst-droid repo mentioned in the instruction. You should get it automatically via apt.

                        I've create a bug report to highlight a long boot after the installation of your modification :
                        https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/1396

                        On OP3T both cameras works, with your latest setup, thanks !
                        I'm using this click : https://gitlab.com/peat-psuwit/camera-app/-/jobs/464890160

                        Still pending the video recording.

                            Hi, what do I have to do to get the cameras on a OP3T working? Or will it be repaired with one of the next updates? Thanks a lot.

                              Hi. Carefully following the instructions at the top of this thread got the camera working on my OP3T, no video, and the fix didn't survive the daily updates.

                              See my post above (20 days ago) for more info...

                                I have trouble installing this on a Fairphone 2 with the new Halium 7.1 port.

                                  Hello would it be possible to recompile xenial_-_gst-droid with the latest environment ?
                                  I've tried yesterdat with the latest edge hybris arm64 and it's forcing me to downgrade some package.

                                    @ernest It should no longer downgrade any package, even without the pinning. Most of the time the downgrade comes from the meta-packages, as they are updated more frequently than most packages in this repo.

                                      @peat_psuwit is the issues already solved what Ernest have posted? I mean with the startup device delay on Oneplus 3T

                                        @Xray2000 Unfortunately no. The problem is, I can't reproduce it on my Fairphone 2. Thus, I don't have any insight about the problem, yet.

                                        BTW, @ernest, maybe you could install bootchart on the phone and send its log?

                                            Installed it on my op3t and can take photos, looks like, it is working. I can start the camera-app from the ubports standard dash.

                                            Info (maybe OT): But ist is not possible to start it from the modular launcher.
