Just for sake of documentation, we are moving to system image method. We needed to rebuild the vendor image (mka vendorimage) as the one provided by the treble mod lacks some libraries that causes the camera to crash.
Note: Java heap size needed to be increased to 4GB (export _JAVA_OPTIONS="-Xmx4g"), otherwise the build would always fail.

Fix was found by @aymanrgab

Now we are encountering an issue where the camera app asks for permission but we cant give it permission, does anyone know a fix?
