Do you have to have two cameras to use this feature or can u do it from the back camera ?
vibrant rooted
macnutR14
super io kernel
2.2 froyo
you have to have front facing camera ( front and back ) becoz you cant see who you are video calling with if your screen is facing the other way..
i dont even think it works with only a back facing camera..
Tango (from the market) works fine using just the back camera.. You just have to get creative and stand in front of the mirror our something like that if you actually want to see eachother.

FFC is not required,but also depends on the app. you would see the other person if your camera is facing you tho,unless u stand in from of the mirror.
~Tango has been the most popular IMO. iOS and Android users can vid chat
~Yahoo IM does video chat with other phones and computer
~Cracked Skype does video call with other skype users
~Oovoo supposedly came out,but i havent been able to find it in the market

Hey, someone over in the EVO forum posted the new yahoo messenger app that includes video chat from the leaked mytouch HD ROM. It appears to function using the rear camera on the vibrant.
Haven't been able to test it out fully yet cause I don't know anyone who actually uses yahoo messenger.
Hopefully someone can get this working with the FFC Mod as it should allow phone to computer video chat.

Likely the build.prop will needed edited like it does for fring & tango to work correctly with the FFC mod.
ill try it out i still use yahoo messenger
tested on vibrant.....quality sucks but it works for sure but both parties should have camera
So its only two way.
it works its a step forward thats for sure it looks like you have a option to switch cameras aswell on it
Combine this with the TV Out option and should even allow you to see the screen while you faced the rear camera toward you in a dock or something. An obvious advantage would be no computer / PC webcam needed at least.
I have tried to sign in with my screen name and my wives. The app always says that there have been too many sign in attempts and that the login from the device has been temporarily disabled.
me and my friend tried it (both with vibrant FFC Mod) after changing the build.prop and it works but doesn't seem to detect FFC. It uses the rear camera and not able to switch between front and rear cam even though I see the option to. Tango works however
Tried this yesterday between a PC and my Vibrant on 3G. Works great, but only with rear camera. Haven't done the FFC mod. Video quality is so-so, but I'm glad to have something that I can talk to my PC buddies with (still mourning the loss of Skype in Fring). The video is a plus. Can't wait for this to become a public app.
Anyone knows how can i get Yahoo messenger to use the front camera instead of the back camera on Yahoo video?
Thanks

Does anybody managed it to get Video Calling working on the viewpad 7?!
I have no luck, no matter what custom rom or kernel I use, theres no video option in the settings...:-(
So far...happy with my rooted Viewpad on 800Mhz
Sorry, wish I could bring you better news, but I haven't been able to get it working either. A bit surprising considering the front camera, according to Skype they will support devices with front camera. Is it the lack of Flash support that blocks its usage?
Hi Im as well not able to use video calls on Skype on Viepad7,Now there is a new ROM and some Flash 10.1 that was hacked to work on our old ARM processor) maybe this could help...Durring weekend I should be able to test this ROM but looks to be ok...

Anyone got news?
I do not understand why there is a frontal camera and no software to use it
The way I understand it, it's Skype itself that does not support it, our viewpad should be able to handle it.
Problem would probably in the Camera API that does not properly support calls to the front camera, that was only added in android 2.3
Would be nice if someone could test some video calling apps and let us know what works and what does not. I'm curious to see if there are any implementations that can acccess the front camera from 2.2.2
App's name viber can video call from front cam, may be cause microsolf buy skype and don't want to develop good app for android I think. Hahahahaha

Is anyone aware of an app that can record video from a ffc on the Vibrant? Something like Qik would be ideal, but Qik has never been able to see my ffc.
im pretty sure the rom has to support it for the video in the ffc to work
some roms only let u take pics with it if thats the case apps like tango or skype wont really work right with the ffc

To be clear, I am using a JPK-based rom. The camera works, front and back. Skype and Tango work, front and back. There is just no option in the video recorder app to switch the camera to the front. This is also the case in Qik.
Hey OP not related to your question, where can i get a version of Skype that will use ffc on Froyo?

I'm actually just using Skype from the Market. If that's not working for you, you might try a different ROM, or as a possible quick fix, just change your build.prop ro.product.model to GT-I9000.
There was a version that was hacked, but I don't know if it's still supported.
Anyone have skype working for the X10's back camera or is there a rom that supports it? Im using DonutHD 2.2.7
skype doesnt depends on the ROM u r using.....
i use skype with the back camera only problem i have to stand in front of the mirror to see whom i am skyping with....
rest works like a charm.....
VOILA
all x10 roms can use skype experimental video chat if ur firmware is gingerbread or above.
Yeah I have been using Skype on my x10. Mainly for voice conversations. Video conference is not cool with the x10 unfortunately.
