The reason I'm asking is because libomap3camd doesn't work under 3.5.3 kernel (it gives completely black images) on nemomobile. Since you have "played" with it - I imagine you could shed some light on the subject.
The short answer:
Unfortunately it's not possible to have a camera on N9 without libomap3camd

libomap3camd (omap3 camera daemon library!) contains 3A (auto exposure, auto WB and auto focus algorithms. It also what does the actual image capture).

The long answer:
It might be possible. We just need to develop our own 3A stuff. I remember someone (Sorry I forgot who he is) was trying to get something using fcam but I don't know the details.

Do you have any details about 3.5.3 kernel? Any link that describes how to build and test it?

I cannot promise to check it as my laptop is overheating and I am not sure it'll survive kernel compilation. My gut feeling is it's a patch or 2 for the kernel.
