Could you build this?
No Intercepting and injecting mock camera frames into the system-level Android `cameraserver` daemon requires deep AOSP operating system internals and native IPC hooking.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires a native C++ module (typically running via Magisk/Zygisk or native ptrace injection) that hooks into `libcameraservice.so` or the camera HIDL/AIDL HAL layer. The challenging parts include intercepting Binder IPC transactions, managing hardware-accelerated graphic buffers (GraphicBuffer/HardwareBuffer) in correct color spaces, and bypassing SELinux restrictions on system daemons. This demands specialized Android platform security engineers and low-level AOSP systems developers.
