This is very nice work, I respect you for that. Unfortunately I have no means to test this as I need jellybean for my keyboard to work properly but its still great progress.

There's still much work to do but we're much closer to have it fully working than before.

Flashed it. Worked like a charm. The precautions in the OP are on point, so it didn't behave in an unexpected way - i.e. I had to reboot to get back into the camera. All that said it felt GREAT to finally be able to take a photo with our little orphan child. Photo quality is great as well. Even though I didn't do any of the work on this I'm wearing a stupid, "I told you so" grin. Gotta say it again - the developers, who do this in their spare time, and unpaid, are simply superb!!! Thanks guys.

Ok, gave it a shot..

It does work as Mr. D said.. but it will now work after you exit app.

I tried the kill app, force close, etc.. NG.

After reboot, I got BSD 2 times, in recovery now.. But It sure does work... Great Job Mr. D!
