Snapdragon Camera V2 on N6P/N5X? - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anybody figured out a way to install Snapdragon Camera on new nexus devices?
I have tried flashing the zip file as well as manually placing require .apk and .so files but it doesn't work. Camera app crashes as soon as it launches.

(using ES file explorer)
1. extract the zip to sd card somewhere
2. under "system/priv-app" > create a folder called "SnapdragonCamera"
3. give the folder "drwxr-xr-x" permissions
4. copy "SnapdragonCamera2.apk" to that folder and give it "-rw-r--r--" permissions
5. Create "lib" folder to "SnapdragonCamera" folder and give it the same permissions as the parent folder has ("drwxr-xr-x")
6. inside the "lib" folder make "arm" folder (give it the same "drwxr-xr-x" permissions)
7. inside that "arm" folder paste two ".so" files - give them "-rw-r--r--" permissions
8. reboot

Did you actually try these steps and camera worked for you?
I had already tried both flashing the zip file and manually placing .apk and ..so files ... but camera crashes.

Same here. Moved to CM13 over the weekend hoping it would work. Tried packages from all over the place, flashable, manual install, whatever, none worked.

Just found out about this camera and was hoping to test it out since the features look great, then I came across this topic and was disappointed. Surprised no one has put this together for this phone yet. Really I'd like to know why Qualcomm doesn't release and maintain this themselves though.

Any new discoveries by any chance? Would love to have it on my angler.

Would be great for my bullhead.

The dev folder isn't needed for anything other than devs from what I remember, all you need to copy is the root folder (this goes in the android folder eg SD/Android/Root) and replace your existing zImage with the one included, simply put extract all minus the dev folder

How to install dsp manager?

hi, does anyone know how to install dsp manager to hd2 android? people with native android phones install it via recovery mode, but I don't know how to do this with hd2. here's one thread about it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773449
thanks
You put the apk in the root/system/app folder and you put the libaudioflinger.so in the root/system/lib folder and full reboot android and it should work
*if non of the folders exist then create them and if libaudioflinger.so allready exists then overwrite it
I've tried replacing it.. but it does not allow me to replace the file
Use ES File Explorer to mount system data as writable. its free from the market.
open es file explorer, go to settings and pick root options.
I'm currently using ES file explorer.. but i cant check the Mount File System

Hey TheiPhoneKiller!
Where can I find these files? I´ve downloaded this zip file, but I can´t find a libaudioflinger.so in there...
here we go,ive uploaded it for you
thank you, man
Thanks... its working on normal builds, i think this doesn't work with ram edition builds.
ok, i finally tried installing this as instructed and after reboot the phone just stalls at htc logo. i rebooted once more and still the same. so i did a fresh install
edit: apparently my build (jdms) already has dsp manager built in.

Fix for Sprint and 3rd party lollipop roms

I don't know the first thing about Android development, especially making flashable zips, but what I DO know is that I was just able to update my profile and prl on my n5 running the January 9th nighty of cm12. Here's how I did it:
1 extract the zip I'm adding here to your internal storage.
2 copy the extracted folder to your system/app/ folder. As a folder, not just the apk.
3 go through the subfolders until you get to the lib folder, then copy the two files inside to system/lib/
4 set the proper permission for all the files and folders involved.
Now let me be clear, I know this is overly complicated, my hope is that someone can respond to this this thread and post a flashable zip that would make this much much easier. Also I don't know if this will work with any other rom, just the one I have right now.

Pretty sure there was already a few "Sprint fix" zips around lol.
Well now I feel dumb. But happy too because either way I won't have to worry about it anymore.

[Guide] Xposed without recovery Locker Bootloaders

Okay so I just tried to install xposed on my Xperia Z and it was a success. All you need to do is be rooted. For that, go to this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/development/super-su-xperia-device-lollipop-easy-t3119006. The procedure mentioned here worked like a charm for me.
Once you are rooted, go to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811. Download the .zip file and the .apk file. Install the .apk file like any other normal .apk file. Unzip the .zip file using any file explorer (I used root explorer). After you've unzipped the files, all you have to do is move and replace them in the system folders and assign correct permissions.
It's not working for me, the installer keeps saying Xposed isn't currently active
I got boot looped with this solution...bummer!

Would it be possible to explain the file copying process in more detail. My Xperia Z crashed whilst copying and overwriting the files into the LIB and now is in a boot loop. Copying the appropriate files to BIN and FRAMEWORK worked fine.

Done! Its working great! In order to work need to set the correct permissions in relevant files.

Did you copy the FRAMEWORK, BIN and LIB files over. My Xperia rebooted whilst copying the LIB files over and the went into bootloop.
Busy re-installing lollipop as we speak.
I have installed the files separately (one by one) in the relevant system's paths

I reinstalled the 5.0.2 firmware. Then did the KingRoot and replaced with SuperSU. The I tried to install Xposed followin the above steps and copied file by file like you did, and if I copy the 3rd file in LIB over, the phone reboots and goes into bootloop.

Same, although it rebooted just fine. I then copied the files again, no reboot but also no Xposed.

I'm in a bootloop again, so off to re-install lollipop...again. Becoming quite a pro at installing and rooting it now This time around, I had a clean install of 5.0.2 without any updates from Play Store. Also did a KingRoot and the replaced it with Super SU before trying to install Xposed. Not sure how @alexfra got it installed...lucky bum!
Okay do the following, copy the LIB files in the root of the system folder and assign the correct permissions. After you've done that, cut and paste the LIB files in to the LIB folder. That will work for sure. Check images for further assistance. Also check image of Gravity Box attached. Everything running great. Hope it works for you too.

Succeeded with my Xperia Z on official Lollipop ! Thanks !
To all who have troubles : take good care to the PERMISSIONS !!! If you don't change permissiosn IT WON'T WORK !
For LIB folder files use the method described before :
- extract to /system
- change permission to rw-r--r-- (or 0644 in octal)
- move files to /system/lib
For bin folder files permission are rwxr-xr-x (or 0755 in octal) and for framework folder it's rw-r--r-- (or 0644 in octal)
If you don't do EXACTLY this, Xposed won't work !

I did this on my third try over the weekend. Copied the LIB files into system, changed the permissions and the moved the files one by one. Reboot and bootloop occured when moving libart.so.
1) What file manager did you use? I used ES File in root explorer mode.
2) Did you move file by file, or move the files all at once or per folder?
3) Do you remember any specific order when moving the files? I just went alphabetically through the folders.
4) Must the .props file also be copied that is in the zip?
5) Did you do a clean install to Lollipop, or was it an upgrade from KK?
Any help would be appreciated

Thanks for your help guys! I figured out what the problem was for me. There were some Xposed files in my lib folder already, I assume from my installation on KitKat (I did not do a clean upgrade). So I removed those, rebooted and presto! Good to have Xposed again

Do you know what the files were so I can check?
Should I not install the Xposed installer APK until I have copied the zipped files in?

Go to /system/lib and search for all the files that are also in the lib folder in the zip and remove them. I already had the Xposed installer installed when I did it, in fact I used it to reboot the system.
I have done,,thanks for guide sir,,

Can anybody comment on which file manager they used to do the copying and setting of permissions and successfully install Xposed? I see the OP used Root Explorer. I personally use ES File Explorer with root mode enabled, but I am thinking that maybe the issue I keep having when copying the files is due to ES File Explorer and maybe I should try Root Explorer.

Snapdragon camera v2 help

​Hi. I flashed snapdragon camera v2. But it stops.
Then i want to remove the android icon with the text com.android.cameralauncher. But i cannot find. It. I tryed flashing the uninstal. And searched with a rooted file explorer. But i still have not located the file. Who can help me?
This is also me something went wrong with my account.

ok... i did it this way (using ES file explorer)
1. extract the zip to sd card somewhere
2. under "system/priv-app" > create a folder called "SnapdragonCamera"
3. give the folder "drwxr-xr-x" permissions
4. copy "SnapdragonCamera2.apk" to that folder and give it "-rw-r--r--" permissions
5. copy the "lib" folder (from the zip you've extracted) to "SnapdragonCamera" folder and give it the same permissions as the parent folder has ("drwxr-xr-x")
6. inside the "lib" folder there is also "arm" folder (give it the same "drwxr-xr-x" permissions)
7. inside that "arm" folder there are two ".so" files - give them "-rw-r--r--" permissions
8. reboot
i have to say it's a nice camera and i've used quite a few camera apps so far...
at the first glance - photo quality is the same as with the xdabbeb camera, but i like the UI better...
my device details:
- LG G2 (d802) running somboons stock 30f lollipop rom
- dorimanx kernel (v5.9.2 latest)
- xdabbeb camera and advanced drivers installed
