      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.

              phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ sudo umount /lib/udev/rules.d/70-android.rules
              [sudo] password for phablet: 
              phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ sudo mount -o remount,rw /
              phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ sudo apt-mark hold qtubuntu-android
              qtubuntu-android passé en figé (« hold »).
              phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ sudo ubports-qa install xenial_-_gst-droid
              (...)
              0 mis à jour, 0 nouvellement installés, 0 à enlever et 1 not updated.
              mount: / is busy
              ERROR:ubports-qa:Failed to remount root filesystem read-only.
              ERROR:ubports-qa:Please consider rebooting your device.
              INFO:ubports-qa:You can remove this repository by running 'sudo ubports-qa remove xenial_-_gst-droid'
              

              Here are the complete logs. Can anybody help?

              Edit: it looks like even if I had the errors displayed above, the installation worked.

                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.

                                  Hi all.
                                  Just tried to run the installation of gst-droid as described in the first post. Camera started working when making photos. Attempt to record leads to camera app crash, still better then nothing, amazing job!

                                  Do I understand correctly that this fix is still no in 'main-stream' and installing any system update on the phone will lead to wiping this app?
                                  Many thanks!

                                    yes, it will be overwritten by every update at the moment, I'm afraid.

                                      Hi!
                                      I am new to UT on Oneplus 3.
                                      I had working camera (photo only).
                                      Then I've installed gst-droid following all instructions.
                                      And camera-app stops working.

                                      $ cd /opt/click.ubuntu.com/com.ubuntu.camera/current/3.1.2+gstdroid3

                                      """

                                      Aborted.
                                      """
                                      Is there any way to solve the problem?
                                      Thanks in advance.

                                          @peat_psuwit is there a new version of camera gstdroid app with working video recording being worked on? I have Op3t and camera work just fine with GStreamer-droid.

                                            @Kyrylo Please make sure the Android image containing Droidmedia is up-to-date. If you use the image from system-server, you may have to re-flash the image to retrieve the latest Android image and re-do the instruction again.

                                            @Stefano Please see the updated instruction. This should fix video recording on arm64-based images.
