lol
it does work for video callling and taking pictures
only thing is there is banding (i.e lines across screen while taking pictures)
its mostly a voltage issue
anyways im removing mine until its fixed.

How do you make it work?

Tricking TB to think Front Cam is Main Cam

To me this would be a killer mod for TB. Someone (expert) creating a script to that changes front camera to main camera. If you want to use the back camera, simply select secondary camera. I would think we could start using a lot of the apps out there right now with this mod.
A link one of you experts might find interesting on the subject,

Most apps I have use already have a switch in them.... the only time I can see you wanting to use the front one is for video chat...

Try Tango in the market. I have used it for video chat and it works fine.
I could probably write a script this weekend for it

Thanks for the support guys! Wireless cam is the main reason I bought the TB. I'm a big e-cig guy and would like to broadcast shows and reviews from remote locations.

This could be done once we get a custom kernel in our hands. Don't know about sooner.
No one has completely confirm it. I was hoping this could be done outside the kernel level.

What would really be nice is a way to link the front cam to a dummy bluetooth, an have it setup to where you press the button on your bluetooth an it takes a picture like a spycam kinda thing. would be awesome at work or just messing with people for fun LOL

Is not. My intention offend but really I don't see the deal with this,like others said, there are apps for video chat o video calling like tango I use that one and works fine is like the facetime in iPhone and even you can switch between cameras

I know it's off topic but I had to ask. What model do you primarily use? My main is a Joye eGo with a Super T drip tip. I tried the Ego-T kits, but each atty died within a week of use (i ordered two).
My interest in this mod is not for video calls but for web cam use. Example Droidcam. Wireless web cam.

Hey PC,
Sorry to hear about the ego-t. Been vaping for over a year. Use Cisco low res atty on the Rio Grand bottom feed box mod. Never a problem. My atty is 2 months old.
Thunderbolt and vaping go together like girls on trampolines

Camera for i9000 vs 4g

Is the 4g compatible with vibrant does it fix the banding issues. Has anyone tried this.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I have the i9000 and the picture quality is not as good as it should be, and really not worth having in my experience so far.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
It had been stated by a dev that it is a voltage issue...not firmware.
Sent from my "TriggerHappy" Vibrant!
I have heard from a reputable source that the 4g camera does not have the same banding issues as the i9000 camera
You do know you can order a ffc from connexion here that is 100% functioning, right?
I did follow some guide lines for the ffc adjusting the front camera and got alot better picture quality. But still wondering if its worth getting that camera for the 4g and using it.

Mods to stock camera

Once teamwin gets s-off are there mods/tweaks to enhance the stock camera? I'm sure that's true, but what kinda mods?

The mytouch slide that's about to drop has some cool features like instant shutter and hdr capability which would be awesome to have. So we will probably get features from that apk when it drops.

that sounds sweet, does the hardware match? or does someone have to port it,later with a rom or signed zip?
I'm not even gonna pretend to know how its going to happen. The shooter on the mytouch is 8 megapixels that's the only difference as far as I know besides the obvious. With the mytouch running sense 3 as well it may be just a matter of installing the cam apk from that phone on to ours.

Evo lte camera problems

I think my evo ltes camera might be broken. Does anybody else have trouble getting pics to come out clear. Mine seems out of focus. Im waiting to replace it due to my otterbox screen protector. I dont want to dail in settings everytime i take a picture either. Ive read hundreds of reviews and its suppose to be a very good camera.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
This is how almost all of my pics come out. Not just a one time deal.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Are you tapping the sceen to focus?Mine come out clear..
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Yes and no. I have taken hundreds of pics. Sometimes i hold the button down and take 20 bad pics in a row. Im leaning towards a hardware problem.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
I've got this too, after flashing a jelly bean ROM. I'm going to try flashing a different jb ROM and see if the camera improves. And probably go back to ics if it doesn't.

Camera is now clear, just flashed a different jelly bean rom.

Are you running stock Rom or a port?
Ports such as cm10, miui, skip, etc do not take good pictures due to pack of proper drivers

I you power off your phone then remove the plastic back cover and clean the camera glass lense. It might have dirt, finger prints/ smudge on to it which causes your phone not to auto-focus when taking pictures.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
I took it to sprint and they cleaned it. I also hard reset it 2x. I think it might be back to normal now.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
I seem to only have an issue if I zoom in on something. If I don't zoom, they look fine.
Thats because zooming a digital camera does nothing, you're better off just taking a full picture.

If I have just regular stock, I've only had it a week, and I don't know how to root or flash a rom or any of that stuff to a phone. So am I just out of luck, or Is there any way to fix these issues? I see that one person said they did a hardreset x2, but if I haven't done anything to the phone I'm guessing a reset wouldn't help me either?
I'm soooo disappointed, the camera is about 80% of the reason I upgraded to this pone. But my regular evo took better pictures very easily. I really wish I knew how to do all the stuff people talk about on these sites, but I'm just clueless when it comes to that.
If anyone has a suggestions I would be really grateful.

I can tell you guys that, unfortunately, I am 99% sure its a hardware issue...I've researched this relentlessly after I purchased my basically brand spanking new EvoLTE (less than 20 calls on it, but it already had a bad esn, relationship gone bad lol I guess)..I got it off craigslist..guy had the receipt..box, everything and when I ##786#'d it I confirmed everything he was telling me. I checked everything, one by one..speaker, mic, outside speaker, ports, bootloader, powered on off, finally the camera..pics and vids...everything worked perfectly.....I thought, I never thought to check the auto focus. Once I got home with it(I often take pics of text on the computer screen while working) I went to do this and to my shock the camera wouldn't focus in on text..Or anything that was within 4inches of the camera..I did four or five hard resets, searched endlessly for a reason or fix..tried every non stock app camera in the market..Nothing fixed it, and It still does it to this day.
I worked with at least ten EvoLTE's since then, I always check the auto focus on them (lol glutton for punishment I guess) because every one of them works perfectly. Yet you can find lots of people with auto focus issues on the web. I also have updated Roms, on mine (I'm currently back on ICS) nothing effected it, and the ones Ive seen that have worked perfectly were on ICS, JB, custom roms..no rhyme or reason, which is why I have to believe it's some kind of hardware issue with the auto focus on these cameras. Luckily, for me it only effects super up close photos(completely blurred), while any other photo comes out perfectly. I would of all ready replaced it otherwise.
