IMPORTANT UPDATE – READ CAREFULLY This is NOT a design contest. This project was mistakenly posted as a contest. It is actually a highly technical Android development task. Only serious Android developers with experience in LSPosed, Zygisk, Magisk modules and Camera2 internals should participate. Generic diagrams, flowcharts, AI-generated explanations or conceptual images will NOT be considered valid submissions. Technical Objective Device: Pixel 8a (akita) ROM: EvolutionX 15 (Android 15) Root: Magisk + Zygisk + LSPosed Goal: Force a USB UVC external camera to behave as the ONLY usable system camera. Requirements: Any app requesting a camera must open ONLY the external USB UVC camera. Internal physical cameras must be unusable or invisible. No ROM building. No vendor modifications. No HAL or external provider changes. Runtime-only solution. Implementation must be done via: LSPosed module (Java hooks) Native Zygisk module (C/C++) Delivered as a Magisk module ZIP REQUIRED FINAL DELIVERABLES To be eligible for selection, submission MUST include: Working LSPosed module (APK) Working Magisk module ZIP including native Zygisk (.so arm64) Source code for both modules Clear installation instructions Demo video showing: Camera apps only open UVC Internal cameras are not accessible Submissions without actual working modules will NOT be considered. Conceptual diagrams, generic architecture images, or text explanations alone are not valid entries. Acceptance Criteria Only camera 0 and 1 mapped to UVC are usable. No app can open internal cameras. System remains stable. No Play Integrity degradation compared to baseline. Only submit if you are capable of delivering real Android native development.

Hi Did you get the working Zygisk and LSPosed modules you were looking for from this contest? If no one submitted a valid native C/C++ and Java hook solution to force the USB UVC camera on your Pixel 8a, we can start building the Magisk module for you immediately. Let me know if you are ready to get this done. Faisal Khalid

Hey Contest Holder, I am ready to give it a shot. Is the contest still available for newcomers? or did you already got your desired apk.
