[Replicant] Galaxy Note II Camera (Fil) (Fil)

Wed Mar 21 17:43:04 UTC 2018

I tried the "Clear Cache" option on its own, but it doesn't actually do
anything (i.e, the cache doesn't seem to clear). Anyway, when clearing the
data, the cache also gets cleared.

I just recently made a fresh install of Replicant itself, so I'm not going
to do that again (because, honestly, I don't think it'll make a difference).

I seem to remember that the camera was functioning just fine on stock
firmware, so I don't think it's the hardware.

With what do I replace "/path/to/file"?
