Camera module v3 on Raspberry Pi 5 with Android 14 or 15

Mikael

Hi all,

I have installed Emteria Android 14 and 15 on a Raspberry Pi 5 and I'm trying to use the official Raspberry Pi Camera Module v3 without success. At least the built-in Camera app does not seem to recognize the camera.
Has anybody done this? Is it even supported?
I cannot find any information about it.

You ever get this working? At a glance it seems this project is pretty dead feature/support-wise despite them being quick to taking us to a billing page.

@Mikael The auto detection doesn't work and camera module v2 is set as default. Try adjusting dtoverlay=imx219 in the config.txt on the boot partition to dtoverlay=imx708
If that works you should move the dtoverlay=imx708 part to the config-overrides.txt as the config.txt will get overwritten on OTA updates.

This does not work for us. Trying the camera in Raspbian or LineageOS does work. Any idea when this is supported?

Fixed in RPi5 v14.10.0+
Will also be part of the next v15 release

Hi, I'm having trouble getting the camera 3 to work. Tried with both Android 14 and 15 on a Raspi 5. The camera app just closes immediately, and a custom app can't open the camera either. I have added the device tree overlay line. Any other steps I need to do?

Same problem. Camera is detected with Libcamera command on ADB shell and able to take picture as well. Native app is not detecting camera. It shows some errors with SELINUX permission to android camera in dmesg.

Suggest if anyone got progress sor far.
