It doesn't seem to work properly with cl-launcher. I replaced the original camera-ui with your new version and when I opened the lens cover and cl-launcher popped up and I selected "camera" it didn't load, further it didn't hide when I closed the lens cover, I had to press the camera button to get it to show, further it wouldn't remember when I changed any of the settings in the "general settings" menu (they would all be selected when I restarted it). After removing cl-launcher it seems to work as expected, but after killing the camera-ui process it still forgets changes to the settings in the "general settings" menu.

I can't see how gdigicam would refuse to use /dev/videoX. Well maybe it does certain assumptions about video device properties, then that's clearly sth gdigicam should learn how to do right.

I can confirm the need to press the camera button for the app to display with cl-launcher installed. Performs properly thereafter, appearing promptly upon lens cover open or button press.

Goodstuff... really!

GDigicam needs a special gstreamerplugin (gstcamerabin)
and this gstreamerplugin refuses to work with the frontcamera.
(/dev/video1). Maybe there is some way to get it to work.

Yes, this is not suprising. My camera-ui has a different name(binary
and dbus-service name).

That is what I wrote, the additional settings aren't saved. I am
not sure which extra functions are actually useful, and so I
don't want to make them persistent.

In theory the default driver is capable to deliver
the raw-image buffer. I wrote a version which catches the
raw-image buffer and I wrote a simple DNG-File export.
Sadly there is a bug in a gstreamer-component. Even if
the buffer has the full 2592x1968 pixel data (this is the
raw resolution of the camera chip), the gstreamer plugin
only copies at image capture resolution (2576x1960).
That means there are some missing lines at the bottom of the
raw-image.
But the gstreamer plugin (gstv4l2camsrc) is open as well, so it could be fixed.

This is a bug, I used the wrong exposure mode for night video :-)

Tests: set iso to 100, 200 or 400 (ie not auto). Set exposure compensation to +1.5, 2.0 or...

Result: incorrect (very dark) viewfinder and image.

Exposure compensation with Auto iso works well.

Nicolai: anything in particular you want tested? Want anything noted?

Yes, this is a bug in the builtin app as well

Sadly, I don't think I can fix this. From my observations this
bug is in ibomap3cam or in omap3camd - both are
closed components.
