Hello guys. I'd like to start off by saying that im taking no credit for this just meerly reposting. here is the original thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=860609 started in the I9000 Forum.. this app allows you to take a picture while pressing the power button and also pinch to zoom. In addition it allows you to take pictures even if the phone has a low battery %....
Installation per original OP "You can install it via "sgs tools" in the market. Select 'upgrade stock apps', then camera hack."
PS im not responsible for broken phones... tested using Axura 2.0.6 and it works..
As fas as i can tell this will work on Froyo roms NOT Eclair..i have tested on Nero roms aswell as Axura roms and all is good, pinch to zoom works and so does the HD recording... enjoy...
works! axura 2.0.6 thanks for sharing

Thanks for the find.

Awesome find. Works great on Obsidian v5.
Working great on my phone with the froyocollaboration rom. I can't believe samsung wouldn't do this themselves! I think it could use a couple of minor updates/changes, but from reading that thread it looks like the op is way ahead of me.

Works fine on bone stock JK6. Has the FFC switch button as well, being based off the i9000 cam app.
Anyone else having issue recording video in 1280 x 720? Just wanted to double check here before I mention something in the original thread in the I9000 forum. I'm running stock JK2 deodexed. I don't know about anyone else but I would like to see this implemented on OUR stock camera.apk. Anyone with more intelligence than me able to possibley do this?

It causes the phone to completely freeze when it starts to record (little circle spinning). I have to do a battery pull. This is only when I change the settings to 1280 x 720 on the camcorder

Some suggestions:
1) update to the newest version (kaosFroyo is at v38, I believe)
2) look through the kaosFroyo thread to see if others are having similar issues
3) try a different ROM
It's good to try different ROMs anyway. They are all a little different and you won't really know which one you like the best until you try several.

I've tried a bunch of these ROMs and most of them have so much junk packed into them. So far the cleanest smoothest ROM is:
[ROM][GPL] CELB Froyo 3.5(Trackball and Led notifications working )10-26-10
Conap keeps all the junk out for you to install yourself. All these ROMs have a little camera issue. If you leave the camera app open and walk from your phone it'll reboot the phone. I can live with that one.
Try that CELB Froyo 3.5 it's really smooth.

For the camera issue, try using Vignette (awesome 3rd party cam) or camera magic.
Btw, my rom is pretty much modeled after conap's, so you can included FroShedYo in that list too ... less junk... more phone

I've been keeping my eye on your thread about getting the ffc to work on gchat - that would be sweet to get working. I'd never heard of it being possible, so I assume it's only possible on 2.3?
Hi all.
I have just installed the FFC and tried it in Skype.
I now use Bionix NexGen V2 ROM.
I have performed tests with both Bali1.8.8UV and packaged (with ROM) Kernels.
In both cases my picture in Skype is rotated 180 degrees.
As the camera I've bought is suspected to be some clone,and
I don't 100% trust it. I would like to know whether this is normal behavior,
and it has some cure, or I have to send the camera back and ask for refund.
BTW, FFC worked in Skype without any problem and did not require any modification
in build.prop or anything else.
Thank you in advance for your answers!
PS: It would be great if someone who is satisfied with his camera, could let me know what is written on his FFC chip,
or post a picture of the whole thing so that I can compare it to one I have.
Mine was bought on ebay here .
And of course, please don't buy from them, until I will confirm they can be trusted.
Besides the angle issue, I also have a feeling that the main (rear) camera adds
some yellow tone in the center of a picture.
I would like you to post where did you buy your camera, in case you are happy with it.
Thanks!
Its not the camera. Its the firmware causing the rotation. I remember my ffc was like that on bionix.

Edit your build.prop (root explorer or sgs tools)
ro.product.model=SGH-T959
ro.product.name=SGH-T959
ro.product.device=SGH-T959
ro.product.board=SGH-T959
ro.build.product=SGH-T959
change SGH-T959 to GT-I9000
I attached sgstools here just in case.
I thought that changing values in build.prop won't have any effect at all,
but I was wrong.
Suggested changes caused the angle to change from 180 degrees to 90 degrees.
Are there any settings that will show my pic with no rotation at all?
Thanks!

That didn't work, nor did Bionix Frost.
Angle becomes 180 degrees again.
But thank you anyway!
This is why I left bionix so long ago. Install an I9000-based rom.

Right now, for Vibrant's case.
*>Passion/Euphoria
Passion/Euphoria are both outdated by any ROMS released these days.
Passion and Euphoria both have bugs that have been fixed, but the ROM was not updated.
I HIGHLY recommend you move on to a different ROM if you are still on Passion or Euphoria.
Agree with x. Passion was good but never updated. I haven't tried Chimera. I'm currently on Gummy 1.2/Devil 3.0.75!
What are you looking at shortbus......
I know, I still in euphoria and I am thinking to change to a different rom, I havent had any trouble on euphoria at all by the way.
Chimera is a nice rom . It has great battery life as well . The installer is crazy it is a touch installer . You could also use the installer to modify your install of chimera later. There are options for different kernels , fonts , themes , inverted gapps and so on . I was on utopia but it didn't have tv out so I switched to Chimera and I'm very happy with it .

Yep, I love the installer as well.
It's called AROMA installer (not by neobuddy)
I moved to Chimera as well, I am trying it and so far its great.
the installer is awesome, it has less lagging than euphoria, and GPS is working well.
anyone mind linking me to Chimera?
A quite of people have said they like it, i'll test it out later this week.

I have been running chimera for about a week now and i am loving it. Its stable fast and tons of customizable options. I would recommend switching over to chimera if you havent already, definitely the best ROM offered by Team Passion at the moment. O yea, the custom installer is SICK!
I just downloaded Chimera and I'm going to flash it tomorrow and let you know... currently running Euphoria and while I loved it at first, it has had a lot of slow down and some issues recently with force closing.
There is a new kernel for Chimera . Chimera 1.3 . Better GPS and fixed voltages .

I've used it for a little over a day now, and I can say it's much faster than ics passion v13 was running for me. Passion was getting really slow, call quality was awful, and everything would crash. Now it's running very smooth, call quality is what it's supposed to be. My only complaint is I can't add widgets to my home screen without the launcher crashing. Not sure what's going on here, anyone have this issue. It's particularly with beautiful widgets?
Edit: I followed this post and got it working:
There is a way but it's little complex...
1. You need to download a root explorer (I use ES File explorer).
2. You need to use the explorer and locate the "Launcher2.apk" in data/app/ folder
3. You then need to move the apk from data/app/ folder and put it into system/app/ folder
4. Make sure the launcher your currently using doesn't have default on (if using different launcher)
5. Reboot your phone, choose CNDlauncher, and BAM! you can now use CNDlauncher to add widgets from the app/widget drawer.
Hope this helps!

For me, Chimera is flawless. I came from ICS Passion 13.1 and suffered from poor call quality and lagging. With Chimera and the Heart V2 kernel, everything is working great and my phone is the fastest its ever been. Also, my battery life is awesome too. I am going to try the new kernel that fixes the GPS after DS issue and see how that works.

They said it works when obviously it doesnt. I noticed they they installed in on the international version with the 8-Core and we are using the Quad Core model. Maybe that is the reason.
Any help will be greatly appreciated and a donation will surely follow once we get this straightened out.

Google hasn't released the code for photosphere so its buggy on aosp ROMs

Yeah, I don't know which rom you are using, but on my rom I ended up with two gallery's and two camera's, which makes sense sort of. One gallery and camera for tw and one gallery and camera for 4.3 photosphere. I chose to leave them, but to each his own...
