Description
I copied the Android camera example (it's basically identical besides the names) and I can't get it to display the camera image on my Note II; on the Note 10.1 it works just fine. Killing and relaunching the app doesn't work. All I can see is empty white space or occasionally a completely white image (whiter than the background so it stands out) where the camera image is supposed to be.
The Note II LTE (GT-N7105) has Cyanogenmod 10.2.0-t0lte on it (based on Android 4.3.1). It has a Mali-400MP4 GPU with GLES 2.0 support.
The Note 10.1 (SM-P600) has the official Samsung rom (based on Android 4.3). It has a Mali-T628 GPU with GLES 3.0 support.

Research direction
The payload names the Android camera example but no file or test. Start by locating that example and reproducing the blank or white camera image on the Note II configuration, then compare it with the working Note 10.1 setup and their GLES versions. Done means the camera image displays reliably on the affected device.
