I just found out that my phone has problems with the ov5640 camera firmware as reported here. The firmware is loaded, but apparently can't be started correctly which leads to the autofocus feature not working. Other than that taking pictures works. This is the output from dmesg:
This happens every time I open Megapixels. I tried it on Manjaro Phosh unstable from eMMC and on the latest Mobian nightly from an SD card. I cannot recall it ever having worked in the past either. Apparently it works for other people though
Does anyone have more insights on this? Could this be faulty hardware which could be fixed by replacing the camera?
